Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lucien's First Review Review (Third Monthly Pass)
At the beginning of the day after the snow, the warm sun shines on the body, bringing a warm feeling.
Kicking and staring, the heavy footsteps of the steel golem came from the corridor, pushed open the door, his eyes flashed red, and his voice was as cold as metal: "Master, I have obtained the six similar papers submitted by the author of the paper, as well as the evaluation opinions of the review committee. β
This is one of the advantages of being a member of the Arcane Review Committee, you can access papers and evaluation results without using arcane points, otherwise it would be ridiculous for a member to review papers and have to spend arcane points to exchange for similar papers to compare.
Taking this thick stack of papers, Lucian waved his hand to let the steel golem guard the door, and looked at it himself, and it was obvious that the author Levsky's research on "anti-tower geometry" was in-depth and perfected, and in the recent paper, a new geometric system has been constructed, based on the five axioms of tower geometry, four axioms, and the premise that "a little outside the straight line, at least two straight lines can be drawn parallel to the known straight line".
"I can't believe that someone has already proved and deduced the ...... Roche geometry on his own," Lucien said to himself.
This geometric system is the first non-Euclidean geometric system on the earth, proposed by Lobachevsky, who made the assumption of "at least two parallel lines" and deduced a new geometric system when he was still a widely recognized young mathematician, but after he put forward this research result, he ushered in a lifetime of indifference, contempt, slander, and abuse, which was ignored or blamed by an authoritative mathematician, and even Gauss, the "king of mathematics", was on the basis of agreeing with Roche geometry. They also remained silent, fearful of facing the discontent and opposition of the entire academic community.
In such a bleak situation, Lobachevsky did not give up, and has been working hard for the survival and development of his new geometric ideas, and completed a work on geometry a year before his death, but unfortunately, he did not wait for the dawn until his death, and died in depression and pain, blindness in both eyes, and it was not until more than ten years after his death that he received the attention and research of the academic community because another mathematician proved the realization of Roche geometry on a special surface. Won the high praise of the late.
Such research does not seem to be of much relevance to the current development of arcane. It can't improve the strength of magic, but in fact, when arcane and magic go down and step into space, space, space, universe and other fields. Current mathematical tools are in dire straits. Inability to accurately describe and help solve real problems. At this time, it is necessary to develop mathematics and give new tools.
Like what. On the earth, Riemannian geometry, another non-Euclidean geometric system that is publicly established on the premise that "no straight line is parallel to the known straight line", is the mathematical basis for the great general theory of relativity to explain the problem of space-time, and Roche geometry has been applied in the study of the universe.
If tower geometry (Euclidean geometry) is the intuitive understanding of the world by human experience, then the two non-Euclidean geometric systems are close to the objective truthβin fact, the three geometric systems are only different in curvature.
Lucien sighed, compared to the magical world where cognitive improvement can increase the level of strength, the current field of mathematics, which is used purely as a tool, is more harsh and conservative towards rebellious and subversive theories, just like the evaluation results they gave:
"A ridiculous reasoning with a ridiculous result, I think the author should look up the window and see the real world...... In my opinion, the paper could not pass the review. β
β...... This is a paper with many errors, worthless, and cannot pass the review. β
β...... I think the best way to deal with such a whimsical, incomprehensible dream is to throw it in the fireplace, which will do its only thing, and obviously, it will not pass the audit. β
......
While looking, Lucien shook his head, although he has also encountered the situation where the paper was given a low evaluation, but the evaluation criteria and the tone of the words are all in common sense, which belongs to the "product" that cannot be understood or cannot be verified, which is like the audit results of these papers, either directly attack and slander, or distort the content of the paper to accuse, do not discuss the matter, and simply start from the premise of the paper itself, deductive reasoning, and logical contradictions, which seriously desecrates the duties of the review committee.
After asking Fernando for a leave of absence, Lucien read Levsky's new paper from cover to cover, and did his own deductive reasoning, then picked up a quill and wrote his first assessment as a reviewer.
"Bold assumptions, rigorous deduction ......"
............
In the evening, Alinge is dyed with a layer of afterglow against the background of the setting sun and sunset, which is unusually beautiful.
In a towering magic tower, an old man with white eyebrows wearing a special gray pointed hat of the "High Tower" was frowning and calculating a mathematical problem, and several delicate and complex magic arrays that occupied most of the desk lit up from time to time to assist him in his calculations.
Knock knock, at this moment, his assistant knocked on the door of the study.
The old man, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with the crest of an eighth-level arcanist and a seven-ring magician on his chest, was interrupted by his thoughts, and said with a somewhat irritable temper: "Come in." β
His assistant was a beautiful and serious young lady, dressed in a conservative Holm-style dress, holding a stack of papers: "Teacher, your secret puppet has sent the paper you received today, please send it." β
The old man rubbed his brows: "Show me." "If it's not important or difficult, let the students help with the review.
The beautiful and expressionless young lady stepped forward with no big or small steps, and put a few papers in front of the old man.
When he got the paper, the old man looked at the title first, and suddenly, he slapped the table fiercely and made a bang: "Levsky has submitted his imagination again, are the deacons of the Magician Management Department sleepwalking?
"Samantha, you change it according to the results of my previous audit and throw it back!"
............
At the same time, a villa in the city of Alinge claimed to have the most complete variety of flowers in the world.
A graceful and beautiful lady with her hair pulled up threw the paper in her hand to the ground: "Levsky still doesn't give up? He is simply wasting his talent and life! What is the value of submitting such a paper that looks like a mistake?"
I thought about it. She picked up the paper, pulled out a beautiful quill with a special shape, and began to write the audit results, brushing and brushing a few times, and it didn't take two minutes to write.
Then he angrily ordered the servant: "Return it to the audit committee." β
Let that stubborn, insanely disgusting Levsky hold on to hope for another three days!
............
After returning the results to the committee, Lucien smiled and took out his pen and paper and began to write his paper.
Three days later, on the morning, as soon as Lucien stepped into the study of his teacher Fernando, he saw Douglas, the Speaker of the Council of Magic, wearing a black evening gown.
"Good morning. Your Excellency the Speaker. Lucien beckoned suspiciously.
Douglas smiled, "Surprised to see me." I'm here to talk to your teacher about the two theories that have been put forward in Arcane and Magic recently, the two that refute my experiments. β
"At times like these, I really enjoy meeting Fernando face-to-face. Listening to him rant about these theories puts me in a good mood. β
Lucien almost closed his mouth. His Excellency the Speaker also has such a humorous side.
Fernando shook his head with an ugly expression: "These worthless papers can also be published in Arcane and Magic. Although their style and standard have not been high. However, it cannot be reduced to such an extent, and the matter composed of charged particles will have a shorter motion relative to the ether, so the measurement will be biased. Did he experimentally confirm this deviation?"
"Comparatively, Brooke's paper directly questioning your celestial system is more powerful, after all, the planet is still in your dreams. β
Douglas was not annoyed, and said to Lucian with a smile: "What do you think about my experiments and these controversies and doubts, Lucian?"
Why is this question asked every day, Lucien is a little helpless, and then he has been planning for a long time: "Your Excellency, I have a little opinion, the problem of the planet is the core of your theory, and it is also the weakest point, and you can never find the planet, so that your theoretical system lacks strong support." β
"Do you have a way to find the planet?" said Fernando unceremoniously to his student.
Lucian's expression became serious, and he said sonorously: "Since we can't find a planet, why don't we make one ourselves?"
"Why don't we build a small planet orbiting around the world according to the calculated orbit?"
"If it can work, if it can be observed, then it will be a strong confirmation of the gravitational system!"
This is a proposal that Lucien has been brewing for a long time after seeing Douglas's letter!
There was a sudden silence in the study, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the paper.
............
In the Wizard Management Department, Levsky, dressed in old magic robes, knocked on the door of Eric's office expectantly and anxiously.
"Coming so early?" said Eric, not surprised by Levsky's arrival, stiffly beckoning.
Levsky nodded, his face pale from the cold wind: "Yesterday was the third day, the audit results must be back, and they should be issued today." β
Not long after Eric arrived, he straightened his desk and said, "About nine-fifteen, the first batch of paper review results will be transmitted, you can wait a minute." β
"Yes. Levsky sat down for a few minutes, and then couldn't stand up calmly, pacing back and forth, restless, and would have wanted to pull out a low-quality cigarette if it weren't for the fact that this was the Wizards' Administration.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, the iron cage lit up with a milky white light.
"Coming back?" asked Levsky, impatient and fearful.
Eric picked up the stack of papers and looked at it, looked up sharply, and said in surprise, "No?
"For, for, for?" Levsky was at a loss.
