Chapter Twenty-Four: Everything Is Ready (The First Monthly Pass)
PS: Change first and then change, don't let everyone wait.
Thank you, thank you, yesterday's monthly pass was too enthusiastic, and it will be twelve at once, please continue to support!
PS: There are many experiments on cathode rays to electrons, but in order to make it easier for most readers to read, I have brought it through the Spring and Autumn penmanship.
On September 1, Arcane was released as scheduled.
Magicians such as Lazar, Roque, and Jerome already have plenty of arcane points since they entered the "Atomic Research Institute", and they no longer need to go to schools or basic arcane libraries to borrow books like ordinary low-level arcanists, so as to save money, and can each buy a copy to read and use as reference materials for future research.
"I can't imagine such an assumption, but then the formula seems to have a full arcane meaning. In the small conference room of the "Atomic Research Institute", while waiting for Lucien to come, Lazar loudly expressed his surprise, but due to the lack of research on the arcane knowledge of the entire thermal radiation, and the repeated emphasis of the Grand Arcanist and the review committee, he was not too shaken, anyway, it was just a hypothesis, and he should be able to find other explanations that conform to common sense in the future.
Only an arcane master who has personally deduced the formula, when his own explanations from all angles have been rejected one by one, will not be able to refrain from convincing himself in that hypothesis when he sees Lucian's analysis, and this contradicts the foundation of the Arcane Realm and the theory of Lord Brooke, so there is a strong conflict.
Roque stood up excitedly and walked around: "Only Lucien can make such an unimaginable assumption, it's great." I love this kind of subversion so much, oh, I'm going to give him a hug, he's the object of my yearning and learning! How can arcane research be like a pool of stagnant water without movement? It has to be full of storms to be beautiful!"
It seems that he only hated that such hypotheses that contradicted the current arcane system were not made by himself.
Jerome's face became a little worse, but he quickly regained his composure: "It's just a hypothesis for the time being, we don't need to think too much, just use the formula, and wait for your Excellency and gentlemen to make a judgment before discussing the problem of energy continuity or discontinuity." ”
"Sure enough, it's a steady Jerome. Lazar joked, not taking the assumption very seriously. Or deliberately not to take it to heart.
Katrina, Annick, Heidi, and other magical apprentices sat quietly on the sidelines. Whether they understand or not, this knowledge is still too far away from them.
At this moment, Lucien walked in with a thick stack of papers and the Arcane journal, and looked around the conference room with a smile: "Let's start discussing the experiments of the last week. ”
............
Inside the city of Alinge. In the Magic Tower. In the shade of a tree. Inside the carriage, many arcanists were looking at the Arcane, which represented the most cutting-edge knowledge of magic and arcane research, and were stunned by Lucian's bold assumptions.
But it didn't take long. The whispers of "this is just an assumption" sounded without much difference, vaguely revealing a trace of fear and trepidation.
"All you need to do is use formulas and constants to modify the magic......"
"Cathode rays, what is this?"
............
Rentat, the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, the headquarters of the Elemental Will.
The tall and honest K was reading the Arcane carefully, his hands were faintly trembling, his Arcane Badge was already three silver stars, and the silver dots around him seemed to be endless, it seemed that he was not far from a fourth-level Arcanist.
The refinement and citation of the atomic valence theory and ionization theory brought him rich benefits.
"Evans is such an uninhibited genius. There was a heavy sigh at the door, and the round-faced, bearded Larry walked in with the Arcane Seal, the Arcane insignia on his chest also raised to five silver stars, "If it were me, I would probably never have been able to make such an assumption, I can't imagine that I would completely abandon the foundations of the Arcane system." ”
K's voice was low: "It's just a hypothesis, but it's also terrifying." I can't imagine what it would be like to be formed, what kind of storm and waves the council would set off, and what pressure Lucien would be under ......"
"Don't overthink it, let's continue our own research. Larry understands the horror behind this hypothesis, and it will take a long time for even the most enlightened mid-level arcanist to accept it, "By the way, in view of my contributions to the theory of atomic valence and ionization, the gentlemen have decided to award me the Holm Crown Award, and the name of the ring is 'ionization'." K, you, as my assistant, have been extremely helpful to my research, and I'm sorry I didn't get you the opportunity to share it. ”
Because the research on atomic valence and ionization is not as direct as Isabella's decisive results, but a little bit of improvement, Larry did not realize the value at first, and did not thank K in many papers, and did not add K's name to the experiments he completed, on the contrary, as his student, K's papers were all rules and regulations to put his name first, so the miserly president of Morris bluntly rejected the possibility of sharing.
The Holm Crown was awarded three times in a row, and the treasury of the Elemental Will was in a state of blood loss, which made Maurice's heart ache.
K didn't have a problem with this, this was the norm of the Magic Council, Isabella and Rachel were the exception, he scratched his head and smiled innocently: "It's okay, teacher, what I'm most confused about now is, what kind of ions will carry positive and negative electricity respectively, and what laws are hidden behind it?"
"You're starting to ask what you're doing like the guy with the same name and last name as you, and that's what we're going to focus on. Larry stroked his tawny beard and teased, "Also, let's measure Evans's newly discovered cathode rays." ”
............
Northland, a crystal clear snow palace.
It seems to be in an alternate realm, completely unaffected by a blizzard, and faintly connected to several strange obscure realms.
In the study of the palace, Helen Paris, who was as beautiful as an ice and snow elf, had the Arcane journal in her hand and a letter in her hand to read:
“...... I think Lucian Evans was good enough to earn the Ice and Snow Medal for his contributions to the field of thermal radiation, and his hypothesis that energy is a part has not been proven. But he did offer an explanation, and his formulas and constants were so correct that they had a significant effect on the improvement of magic in the field......"
"Of course, I have to admit that I like the term energy non, or quantum......"
"Your friend Derek Douglas"
After reading it, Helen thought for more than ten minutes, picked up her pen and wrote back to Douglas:
“...... As far as I know, Lucien Evans' explanation is not universally accepted, or rather. Almost no one recognizes. Many Arcanists are trying other explanations. Conferring the Ice Medal on him now would raise questions among all the magicians in the council, and would be a devastating blow to the credibility of the award...... Evans is a student of Fernando, so he should be more cautious in this regard......"
“...... Ten years, if no one comes up with a new explanation. And Evans' formulas and constants are widely recognized in practical applications. At that time, it would not be too controversial to award the Order of Ice and Snow to him......"
............
In the conference room of the Atomic Research Institute.
“...... After revising the previous experiments. I discovered that cathode rays can only travel a few centimeters in the air, which is one of the reasons why they have not been discovered before......" Lazar recounts his research with a rosy face and a bright smile. The glass that glows green is part of the Discharge Magic Array and the Alchemy Platform.
Under Lucian's "Tips". In this month's enthusiastic research, Lazar, Roque, and Jerome each completed at least seven or more papers, Annick, Splinter, Reilia and other apprentices also wrote almost four experimental papers, and Lucien's own papers were as high as ten, respectively, using different substances to verify the absorption and penetration properties of cathode rays, as well as the position changes of the shadow of obstacles under the action of strong magnetic and electric fields.
Finally, he concluded that the cathode ray was likely to be a stream of negatively charged particles, and designed an isolation device for pure rays to determine its charge-mass ratio through the trajectory of the cathode ray in the electromagnetic field, and used this data to roughly judge what particle it belonged to.
Since the cathode ray can penetrate the metal foil, Roque and Jerome also suspect that it may not be a particle stream, but they don't have a complete idea of what it is, because the measurement of the speed of the cathode ray shatters the possibility that it is an electromagnetic wave (light wave) – much smaller than the speed of light.
After Lazar finished speaking, Roque also reported his progress: "...... No persistent deflection of the cathode rays in the strong electromagnetic field was found, and perhaps we were wrong to judge that it was charged, and the results of previous experiments were probably due to the illusion caused by the complex gaseous environment in the discharge magic array......"
"I think so too. Jerome and Lazar each agreed.
Magical apprentices such as Heidi had no problem completing specific experiments and writing lab reports, but formal magicians had a hard time discussing arcane knowledge and had to concentrate on listening, absorbing, and learning.
"I think there might be some other distraction, so I'll think about it a little bit more and redesign it. Lucien expressed his opinion.
The pressure of the thin air makes it impossible for particles with very small masses to deflect, which requires a higher vacuum condition to solve, and so far, Lucien knows very well that the magic array that creates a vacuum in the Magic Council cannot achieve the effect, knowing that the cathode rays are electron streams.
The discovery of electrons, the fact that atoms have an internal structure, is still somewhat hindered from coming to the surface.
The theory that atoms are the indivisible material basis will also occupy a high place for some time.
The gate of the Microcosmic World Realm has faintly appeared, but the gap has not yet opened!
Lazar, Roque and others strongly agreed with Lucian's words, and it was the best way to leave this complex problem to Lucian, and he and the others still had a lot of cathode ray experiments to do, which were arcane points!
After the paper on the discovery of cathode rays was submitted, it brought Lucian thirty arcane points, and Lazar, Roque and others also received five arcane points each - the magic apprentice was not eligible to sign the overall paper of this atomic research institute.
Although this is very lucrative for low-level arcanists, the papers on the measurement of the different properties of cathode rays completed by Lazar and others themselves are on average four arcane points per paper. Lazar, the most, was rewarded with a total of thirty arcane points for his dissertation in this month, and he was only more than ten points away from the third-level arcanist, while Roque, Jerome and others became second-level arcanists without exception, and they were only twenty or thirty points away from entering the intermediate level, not to mention the inevitable citation points in the future.
How can they not be keen on their own experiments!
Even magic apprentices such as Annick had thirteen or fourteen arcane points, and if it weren't for the lack of time to change their badges, they would already be official arcanists.
Such a rate of promotion would make most Arcanist jaws drop in shock.
............
The city of Rentat, Kingdom of Holm, inside the monastery.
A bishop is explaining to the probationary priests the fundamentals of theological reforms by several popes.
"The Lord created different atoms, which are the smallest indivisible substances, and then the Lord made different things out of these atoms......"
............
Regarding the temporary end of the cathode rays, Jerome reported that he was responsible for experiments on the change of matter at ultra-low temperatures, and he was very happy: "Lucian, we have found that at minus 185 degrees Celsius, charcoal will change wonderfully and become very easy to absorb air. ”
"Very good. Lucien did not hesitate to praise, although there are many ways to create a vacuum, but how can it compare to this "sharp weapon"?
The next step is to transform the magic array and measure the cathode ray charge mass ratio!(To be continued......)
