After Lazar and the others left, the lively hall was suddenly deserted, and Lucien instructed Leo to close the door and open the protective magic array, while he returned to his study and began to write his thesis.

In the quiet and distant atmosphere of the night, especially in Alinge, Lucien's mind became clear, and he wrote the title on a non-magically processed plain paper: "Experiments on the Body's Spontaneous Currents and the Special Electromagnetic Waves Emitted by the Brain and Their Applications in Illusions."

There is very little information on brain waves in the soul library, and it should be said that the earth is still at a shallow level in similar research, and Lucien has to enrich the paper through the analysis and feedback of several illusions, improve the reliability of the paper, and belong to the type that has a direction and conclusion to find evidence.

Therefore, this paper Lucian wrote very difficult, if the previous papers were combined with different and specific experiments in the wizarding world to revise the papers on the earth, then this paper belongs to the semi-original results of collecting information, experimenting by himself, and arguing by himself, and it took two or three hours to sort out the general content.

Exhaling softly, Lucien did not directly write the sorted out content into a rigorously formatted paper, but put away the paper and prepared to bring it to his teacher Fernando in the morning for evaluation, and then revise it according to his opinion - since he has a Grand Arcanist teacher, he must not waste "resources" in vain.

After closing his eyes and enjoying the coolness of the night breeze for a few minutes and the peace of the night, "everyone sleeps and I wake up alone", "left behind and independent", Lucien took out a stack of blank papers again, picked up the magic quill pen and wrote the application for the "Atomic Research Institute".

The writing of this application was a great headache for Lucien. Because any specific research direction may expose its own shocking view on the atomic issue -- the atom is not the most basic material that is indivisible, it has a miraculous internal structure! Several research directions that do not reveal this viewpoint seem to have nothing to do with the atom, and are closer to the content of discharge and magnetic field, it is certainly not possible to apply in the name of the Atomic Research Institute, which is really a dilemma.

As a result, Lucien had to elaborate in a big and vague way about the significance, purpose, and general direction of the establishment of the "Atomic Research Institute."

When he re-read the application after completing it, Lucien sighed sincerely: "It's not so easy to cheat money." If the application for the 'Atomic Research Institute' is not approved, it will be replaced with another specific research direction, and the name of the 'Atomic Research Institute' will not be used. However, in this way, the research of each project is short-term and cannot be sustained for a long time. ”

As a man with a great interest and ambition in cheating money, Lucien has detached himself from the vulgarity and lowly tastes of ordinary arcanists. Want to set up a long-standing fraudulent funding agency. Not only will it save a lot of energy, but it will also minimize the cost of experimenting yourself, and the proceeds from the "Minerals & Harvest Company" will be saved up for the future, as we all know. Whether it's a high-level magic ritual. It is also a ritual for the construction of magic towers, the refining and purchase of magic items, and the construction of various wonderful magic after the high-level. It's all about spending money like water.

"I also showed the application to the teacher for the atomic research institute, and if I could get his support, things would be much easier. When necessary. Can you reveal a little bit of real research ideas......" Lucien thought with a slight burning look in his eyes, although it was more likely to usher in roaring and criticism, but in order to cheat the funds, he could only try hard!

After a while, Lucien regained his composure and began to parse the selected five-ring magic, "Fernando's Lightning Furnace".

Because he didn't expect his soul and spiritual power to reach the standard of the five rings so quickly, Lucien had never tried to analyze the magic of the five rings, and even a large part of the magic of the third and fourth rings had not yet been started, so he had to focus most of his energy on this temporarily, first raising the magic level and then turning around to master other low-level magic.

............

The next day, Lucien arrived early at the headquarters of the Magic Council.

"Good morning, Mr. Evans. Two big black eyes popped out of the door, and Taling Prospel greeted him warmly.

Lucien politely replied, "Good morning, Prosper, how are you doing? I forgot to say hello to you yesterday." ”

"It's still like that, I have to tolerate the magicians going in and out of my body every day. Yesterday, hehe...... Prospel definitely didn't admit that he didn't dare to appear in front of the Storm Master, "Mr. Evans, I heard that you are almost at the fifth ring? When you become a high-level magician and start building a magic tower, don't forget our agreement, a female tower spirit is gentle, patient, and meticulous, much better than mine!"

When did we make an appointment...... Lucien casually said a few perfunctory words to Prospel, tightened his neckline, and walked quickly into the magic tower.

It was still early, the council headquarters was deserted, and Lucien arrived at Fernando's study on the thirty-third floor without meeting anyone.

Fernando, the Lord of the Storms, still dressed in his favorite bright red antiquity-style robes, sat behind his desk reading letters one by one.

"Lucian, if nothing else, help me read the letters first, and then write a reply as I dictated. After doing all this, we go to the laboratory to measure the thermal radiation data of different substances at different temperatures. Fernando did not praise Lucien for his positive early arrival and commanded bluntly.

Lucien hurriedly replied: "Teacher, I wrote out the paper last night, please guide." ”

"Efficiency is not slow. Fernando nodded, took the blank paper in Lucian's hand, and did not look at it casually because it was a mid-level magician's paper, but read it carefully, and from time to time cast magic verification.

Seeing Fernando's brows slowly furrowed, Lucien suddenly felt a sense of panic.

"The logical relationship is vague and far-fetched, what can you use for a paper like you to convince the review committee?!"

The expected fault finally appeared, but fortunately it was not a roar, and Lucien hurriedly made a gesture of listening.

After almost criticizing Lucian's paper from beginning to end, Lucian felt that the paper was "worthless". Fernando put away his slightly high-pitched voice and nodded slightly: "Of course, compared to the vast majority of arcanists who are either rigid and rigid, or have amazing mistakes, this one of yours is quite interesting, groundbreaking and groundbreaking, and there are not many omissions. Correct the mistakes or sort out the logical order and submit them to the audit committee. By the way, don't add the teacher's name to the paper like other magician disciples, I don't want my name to appear on such a non-rigorous paper. ”

"Yes, teacher. Lucien quietly wiped away the sweat that didn't exist. Fernando didn't roar just now. But the many loopholes pointed out to the point still made me can't help but shed a cold sweat. I had the illusion of being hit by a storm, and how could I not find these mistakes when I reviewed it myself? The first semi-original paper was really full of problems.

Seeing that Fernando was about to pick up the letter again, Lucien hurriedly said, "Teacher, I plan to apply for an arcane research project. Please take a look. ”

"Arcane Research Project. Can you allocate your energy?" Fernando took the application. He asked casually, and then said with some amusement, "Atomic Research Institute? Kindness. The main direction of this research is to study the relationship between the periodic law of the elements and the atom, to explore the various properties of different elements and atoms in addition to the difference in atomic weight and volume, and to try to integrate elements with electromagnetism, light and darkness and other magic at the atomic level...... In general, in order to promote the development of elemental magic and the improvement of the arcane system, this institute is hereby applied for, and I hope that the committee will approve ......"

Fernando read Lucian's application report word by word. In the face of this obviously "improper" thing, he did not treat it with the rigor of arcane and magical research, and a humorous smile appeared on his face: "Need a large and complete high-level laboratory?Need so many rare materials?Need a large amount of arcane point subsidies?Young man, this is not such a deception to cheat arcane research funds, this kind of high-sounding, large and empty application, it is definitely impossible for the Magic Research Council to approve it, and you still have great ambitions, and it seems that you intend to maintain the 'Atomic Research Institute' for a long time?"

"Actually, if you just apply for a little support and have a specific research project, the Magic Research Committee may pass it for my sake. ”

Lucien organized the rhetoric that he had thought of a long time ago: "Teacher, I think there is a certain degree of short-sightedness in the current council in the approval of arcane research projects. Arcane is developing rapidly, and many new fields have emerged, they are so broad and vague that it is difficult to propose specific research directions at the beginning, but we cannot give up the study of them, nor can we rely only on the private research of high-level arcanists, and we need to give the council a tilt of resources to allow more arcanists to devote themselves to these fields. ”

"The Atomic Institute is a useful attempt in this way, and after the discovery of the periodic law, I believe that more and more arcanists have realized that there is still a long way to go in the study of atoms. ”

When he spoke, Lucien's expression was serious and compassionate.

"How do I feel like I am participating in the House of Nobles and the Municipal Council......" Fernando said with a smile, piercing Lucian's "intentions", and then said with a smile on his face: "Lucian, tell me about your knowledge of the atom, if you want me to support you, at least show your qualifications worthy of support." ”

Sure enough, acting skills can't fool this kind of old monster, and directly pointed out the core of the problem, it seems that he has to throw out some dry goods, Lucien's mind turned sharply, and he pondered the language and said: "Teacher, since I discovered that there is a periodic law between the elements, I have been thinking about the meaning behind the law, but I can't find the direction of breakthrough." Later, by chance, it occurred to me that the atoms of different elements would have different properties.

With a smile on his face, Fernando listened quietly and did not interject.

Lucien continued: "As the most basic component of matter, according to naïve philosophical views and arcane theories, atoms should be very similar, very simple, at most a few different in nature, and then form a variety of substances in different compositions. But now, atoms exhibit a multitude of alchemical and force field properties, contrary to the idea that the basic composition should be concise and limited in kind. ”

"Therefore, if we want to continue our research, should we temporarily abandon the deep-rooted cognition brought to us by "Atomic Theory"?"

"Atoms, perhaps, are not the most basic building blocks of matter!" (To be continued......
