Act 245. Letter from Mercury Balances
While working on his own Crescent Moon Coke theme park project, Reiner also receives a letter from the Immortal Throne.
This is the result of a review of a paper on genetic theory, and because the targeted verification took too long, it is only now that Reiner has received a response.
The results of the review were naturally those similar affirmative words, and as for academic points, Reiner was a little surprised, because the Immortal Throne had awarded him three hundred academic points.
In the previous paper on water electrolysis, the paper review committee gave Reiner the same 300 points, and the paper on the periodic law of the elements was also 300, and now, this paper on genetics is also 300 points, which makes Reiner a little doubtful that the upper limit of the review points is 300.
He glanced again at the letter's upright handwriting:
Dear Reiner. Ian Gray, for your paper "Hybridization Experiment on Peas, and Some Explanations and Hypothesis Verification of Experimental Results", the review committee made the following reviews after careful review: the paper format is rigorous, the logic is rigorous, the experimental design ideas are innovative, the experimental content has spied into the field of bloodline inheritance that is difficult to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze in the past, and the genetic law found has the universality of species, although it is a simple hybrid experiment, but it reflects the essential reasons for species diversity, and the paper has passed the review, Awarded 300 academic points.
Underneath this passage is also from the legendary mage, Charles. Preston's own review:
Lionel. Ian Gray started with a simple pea hybridization to analyze the mysteries of bloodline inheritance that had plagued mages for many years, and the value of this paper is not only that people have explored the deepest mysteries of the human body for the first time by magical rational means, but more importantly, it reveals to mages that the world can be solved, and I think this is the most important thing.
Obviously, Lord Preston gave Reiner's paper a very high evaluation, in the past, most of the research on the necromantic system was based on experience, that is, relying on the summary of phenomena and inverting the law, which is of course a means to understand the world, but it is not the best means, Reiner's research is actually a process of seeing the essence through the phenomenon, which has extraordinary enlightening significance for other studies of the necromantic system.
Now, counting the points he got by logging in to magic before, Reiner already has 10,000 points just by himself, no need to compare with the same level, even if he is a diligent mid-level mage, he may get less than one-tenth of Reiner's points in a year, in the field of magic, Reiner can indeed be regarded as rich.
However, so many academic points are not of much use to Reiner for the time being, but unfortunately the Magic Association does not allow the lending of points, otherwise Reiner is sitting on tens of thousands of points and can use them for loans, maybe he can gain a lot after a year.
Reiner pulled his thoughts back from his reverie, and Reiner put down his review comments and picked up the next letter.
It's a letter from Mercury Scales, with Reiner's familiar logo.
He verified the magic signature, opened the letter, and read it carefully.
The letter was full of content, starting with a review of Reiner's previous position on the dissertation review committee, which was based on Reiner's debriefing report, which was temporarily reorganized due to the uproar caused by Reiner, and the senior mages will re-evaluate the role of the review body and select more suitable people to carry out this work.
To put it simply, Reiner doesn't need to be a paper reviewer for the time being.
And because of this, Reiner needed to do some additional mercury balance work to fulfill his duties.
Here, President Dmitry mentions an expedition.
Not far from the main plane is a half-plane of Erasmus, a fully explored, safe half-plane, a mage of the Immortal Throne. Baptiste, after his investigation of the creatures here, published a paper on the evolution of the species, which Reiner had previously approached before the paper review committee, but the review of the paper was eventually shelved due to the riots at the time.
And Potsdam. Baptiste applied to the Magical Society to organize a magical expedition to Erasmus to investigate the local ecology.
The magic expedition team is not a special case, almost all research institutions will send magic expeditions from time to time to explore various half-planes, and Erasmus's magic expedition team, its main personnel are several professors and their students from the high-level magic academy of the Rainbow Tower, the professors are all middle-level mages, and the students are basically low-level.
For a half-plane that has been discovered, the composition of this magic expedition team is quite secure, but after all, it is going to a half-plane, so this expedition also carries a certain degree of danger.
Reiner, on the other hand, can bring a student to join this magical expedition, this work can be counted as a mage duty within the mercury scale, and at the same time, he can also receive the remuneration of the Magic Association, and during the expedition, he can come into contact with some creatures unique to the Irasmus halfplane, which is very beneficial.
Of course, if Reiner has any scruples, he can naturally choose not to go, and it doesn't hurt to look for a suitable job later.
Although President Dmitry told Reiner that he didn't need to be in a hurry and that he could wait until the deadline to make a decision, Reiner put down the letter and went to the bookshelf to look for half-dimensional materials.
Soon, he pulled out a heavy book at the bottom of the shelf, The Half-Plane Encyclopedia, written by the late mid-level mage Andal. Cremia, this book contains all the information of the three hundred and two half-planes currently known, from the geomorphological environment to ecological species, mineral resources, population distribution, etc., detailed and detailed, which also makes this book extremely thick, compared to the book "Where are the magical creatures?" This book is nothing short of a giant.
Reiner scanned the catalogue and caught a glimpse of Midgar, the vannished half-plane, his finger lingering on the name of the half-plane for a moment before moving down.
He found the number of pages in the half-plane of Erasmus and flipped to that page.
"Erasmus is a semi-plane dominated by forests, 80% of its area is a vast tropical rainforest, dozens of rivers meander and meander, there is no difference between the four seasons, only the dry season and the rainy season, thus forming a very special ecological environment, among them, Erasmus has twenty-seven unique creatures, five of which are magical creatures......"
Looking at the description on the yellowed page, Reiner fell into thought.
After a long time, he picked up his pen and began to write back.
