The feedback of the world is like a breeze, blowing everyone's thoughts, Reiner feels a kind of fulfillment and satisfaction, in his heart lake, the world is no longer just a macro element, but gradually transformed into a micro particle, on a small scale, the laws of the world show different characteristics, shaking the heart lake, but at present, this vibration can only make a little ripple on the surface of the lake, it is still too early to shake the foundation of the whole world.

Even a few of the Lords who have entered the realm of legends can feel that their hearts that have not been loosened for a long time have a faint tendency to expand again.

If the proposal of the periodic law represents that the mages have touched the door of the microcosm, and the discovery of the atomic nucleus structure model represents that the mages have half a foot in the threshold, then the discovery of protons and neutrons officially announces that the mages have entered the door of the microcosm.

Soon, however, they ran into a barrier.

That's how protons combine into atomic nuclei.

As we all know, in the current understanding of mages, electromagnetic force and gravity are the basic types of forces, and they are also forces that can act without direct contact, and mages have always believed that the inside of the atom also relies on gravity and electromagnetic force to maintain balance and form atomic nuclei and electrons.

But now it seems that electrons and nuclei can still be explained by this theory, and the close combination of multiple protons inside the nucleus is no longer applicable.

At this scale, the repulsion of the electromagnetic force will become very strong, and the gravitational force will not be able to cancel out the corresponding electromagnetic force at all, so that the protons appear so tightly together.

This requires a new explanation of the situation.

"This force should be very different from the electromagnetic force, otherwise it is difficult to explain why electrically neutral neutrons can be combined."

David added that if we really want to confirm the existence of another force that is different from gravity and electromagnetism, then its properties must be thought through in advance.

"As Reiner said, the distance of this force should be extremely short, perhaps only the size of a neutron and a proton, and it is extremely difficult to verify the existence of such a force."

Reinhardt said that the scale that the mages can control at present is not even at the atomic level, and the situation inside the atom is indirectly explored by Reiner through other means, and it is impossible to verify the existence of the force inside the atomic nucleus with current observation methods.

"But from the present point of view, the existence of such a force is almost inevitable, otherwise it would not be possible to explain all the phenomena we see now."

Newington added that in magic, there are times when complete proofs are not necessarily required, and that many inferences and assumptions can exist as empirical formulas if they do not contradict real observations, and that they must be used with great care to prevent academic disasters in the future if the formulas are falsified or overturned.

The closest thing to the mages in this situation is that the doctrine of the four basic elements was overturned by Reiner, because the mages at the forefront of the academic have long had doubts about the doctrine of the four basic elements, so although many research results also cite this theory, but they all retain a trace of leeway, and it is this cautious attitude, so even if Reiner overturned the theory of the four basic elements at the annual academic conference of the mercury balance, it did not lead to the collapse of the entire alchemy system. Most studies only need to be modified for this part in order to continue to be used.

"Indeed, I believe that with the advancement of our means of observation, we will be able to verify the existence of such forces."

Reiner nodded, he also needed a certain amount of time to conduct experimental verification, and on this occasion just coming up with the concept of protons and neutrons and verifying them was amazing enough.

"This force is located inside the nucleus and is very strong, so I named it the strong nuclear force."

"You are the one who proposed it, so you naturally have the right to name it."

Lord Alberton touched his chin and sighed with emotion.

"It's just that the term "strong nuclear force" always makes people think, will there be a weak nuclear force corresponding to strong nuclear force?"

Hearing Lord Alberton's words, Reiner was speechless.

Unexpectedly, just from the name, His Excellency Alberton has already diverged his thinking and speculated on the existence of a weak nuclear force, which is indeed quite a keen research mind.

"Hehe, I'm just casually saying that even if it does exist, I believe that with our current level of magic, its existence is far from detecting."

Alberton said with a smile when he saw that Reiner's face was a little solemn.

"If the strong nuclear force really exists, then once that black crystal can eliminate the electromagnetic force between the nuclei, the nuclei can be more closely linked to the nuclei without falling apart, and finally form such a dense substance!"

Saxon cleared his mind and muttered to himself.

"Unfortunately, we can't do it at the moment, either to eliminate the electromagnetic force or to compress the nucleus to that extent."

Reinhardt shook his head, the brilliance of the civilization of the last era was amazing, and at the same time, such a glorious civilization was destroyed by the Sauron Xenomorph, and the monster that destroyed that world now appeared in the mage world, which has to be worrying.

"But at least we've taken the first step."

Reiner said, also with some emotion.

"I think I need to refine my theory for protons and neutrons."

Newington said that although the Newington-Holland equations unify the electromagnetic field, many of the verifications of this theory are based on the aether theory, and according to the aether drift experiment, this theory that has lasted since the time of the ancient Magic Empire has been challenged, and Newington has modified and improved their equations to deal with possible problems, but still has not completely detached itself from the influence of the aether, in fact, Newington himself does not know whether the aether is real, so he hesitates.

And now, the discovery of protons and neutrons in the nucleus seems to be able to supplement his theory of electromagnetic fields, and Newington's mind is full of thoughts, as if he has an idea, but he seems to have no clue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of our workshop for today, all that remains is a report on the discovery of the ruins, you can go back to your home and wait for news, and I will present the full report to the High Council."

David said there was so little information about the ruins that he even suspected that he might not get any clues if he continued to dig here for a year.

He looked at the ruins, this is the place where the civilization of the last era was destroyed, and it is also the place where the civilization of this era began, and the search for the truth lies ahead of a rugged and long road.
