Act 80. The trail of the stars
In the corner of the Rainbow Tower, there is a tall tower that stands alone.
Set in the midst of a lush forest, this tall tower is not a straight structure, but spirals, full of eerie atmosphere, but also exudes a wonderful beauty.
This is the mage organization of the astrological system, the headquarters of the stargazers.
In one of the tower's offices, a middle-aged man was meditating.
His fingers tapped on the table, as if to consider some difficult question, and the man's brow furrowed, and he held a beautiful quill in his hand, but he did not write any words.
Knock Knock Knock –
Just as the man maintained this posture, a sharp knock on the door interrupted his meditation.
He raised his eyebrows, but soon sighed helplessly, and put the quill back in the inkwell.
"Come in."
The man responded, and the knocker pushed the door in, and it was a young man wearing the popular mage robes of the Rainbow Tower, with five gold trims flashing on the cuffs.
"Fenrir, what's the matter?"
The man asked, his student, who had never been very calm, and was even more anxious at this time.
"Teacher, I received an academic paper here."
The student known as Fenrir said respectfully, placing the copy of the paper in his hand on the man's desk.
"Academic papers?"
At this time, the man remembered that his student was serving as a member of the dissertation review committee, which he had instructed in order to make the reckless student more mature.
However, what Fenrir received from him should have been papers from low-level mages, so why did he tell himself about it?
"Mr. Regens, this is a mathematical paper, and the author is Reiner. Ian Gray. ”
Fenrir added.
"Mathematics? Lionel. Ian Gray? ”
Man, High Mage Wilder. Regens looked at the cover of the paper.
Lionel. Ian Gray's treatise on the electrolysis of water had long since spread in the Rainbow Tower, and the young mage's apprentice was favored by the mercury scale, but to Wild, this was just an ordinary genius, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
Wild had long felt that the theory of the four basic elements had serious holes and that it was only a matter of time before it was overturned. Ian Gray just followed the tide of history and picked up a fish that slipped through the net.
But now it seems that this Reiner. Ian Gray even studied mathematics?
But even so, it has nothing to do with me.
Wilde glanced at his student and didn't open the paper.
"Teacher, this paper expounds a new coordinate system, which I think may be helpful for your research."
Fenrir understood what the teacher meant, and explained.
He knew that his teacher was studying the laws of movement between the stars, and that he already had some observations and conjectures, but it was difficult to prove them mathematically, which drew ridicule from many within the stargazers, knowing that in the eyes of most of the astrology mages who dominated the occult school, the trajectory of the stars should be a perfect circle and not a strange ellipse as Wild insisted.
In this case, Fenrir happened to get the paper, and after reading it carefully, he hurried here in the hope of helping the teacher.
"Coordinate system?"
Wilder didn't have much idea at first, but when he picked up the paper under the gaze of his own students and saw the title, the calm high-ranking mage's eyes lit up.
"Derivation of curvilinear equations?"
You know, Wild is now difficult to establish a complete and concise way to prove his ideas, regardless of the content of this paper, at least the research direction is indeed in line with Wilder's theory.
It seems that his students are not useless.
Glancing at Fenrir, Wild flipped through the paper.
At first, Wild read the polar coordinates very slowly, he picked up the pen, followed the idea of the paper on the paper, and when he fully understood the connotation, he put down the pen and sighed softly.
"What's wrong?"
Fenrir originally thought that he would be able to help the teacher, but looking at Wild, who was frowning at the moment, the stone in his heart hung high again.
"I'm just lamenting that I have ignored such a simple thing, the idea of setting up this polar coordinate is not difficult, but it is very ingenious, maybe in a high position, it is indeed easy to ignore some basic things."
Wilde explains, turning to the discussion of curvilinear equations.
The derivation process here seemed simple to Wild, who had already comprehended the polar coordinates, and felt a buzz in his brain when he saw Reiner unify several common curves into a single functional equation.
Isn't this the answer you've always dreamed of!!
He jerked to his feet, causing Fenrir next to him to take a few steps back, and then Wilder sat down again, picked up his quill, and began to do the math.
Wilder had three conjectures about the motion of the stars, and he was using polar coordinates to test them.
First conjecture...... Establish!
This is the most basic conjecture, Wild believes that the trajectory of the stars around the sun is not a perfect circle as previously thought, but an ellipse, and at this time, the observation data in the form of polar coordinates are substituted into it, and the derivation result presented is the polar coordinate equation of the ellipse!
Second conjecture...... Establish!!
According to the first conjecture, Wild calculated that when the stars orbit the sun, the area swept by the line between the star and the sun is equal per unit time, which means that the movement of the stars is not uniform!
The third conjecture...... Establish!!!
The third conjecture is to demonstrate the relationship between the time it takes for a star to orbit the star and the semi-axis of its orbit, and if the first two conjectures are true, this conjecture can easily be proved!
The three conjectures that had plagued Wilder for a long time were mathematically proven, and from this moment on, these three conjectures were no longer just conjectures, but laws!
Regens's Three Laws on the Movement of the Stars!
Buzz –
Wild felt that his heart lake was turbulent like never before, and above the rising lake, the stars were moving in a strange trajectory, not in a perfect circle, but in different forms of ellipses!
Here's feedback from the world!
After closing his eyes, after a long time, Wilde slowly opened his eyes, feeling the majestic power in his body, there is no doubt that he has received enough feedback through the establishment of these three laws, and with a little preparation, he can successfully promote to the Nine Rings, which is only one step away from the legendary mage.
Wilde looked at the paper again and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Teacher, is there any problem?"
Fenrir, who didn't dare to speak, felt the magic resonance in the room, vaguely knowing that his teacher should have received feedback from the world, but he didn't understand why he was still sighing.
"I'm just sighing that the person who can write such a paper, if it were us stargazers, he would definitely become the brightest new star, but unfortunately, he was robbed by the mercury balance early."
Shaking his head, Wild said helplessly.
