Chapter 25: A New Particle (Part 2)
PS: Ask for a monthly pass~
"Douglas" School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the top floor of a seven- or eight-story magic tower.
Sitting in the classroom of the advanced apprenticeship class, Cherie listened to Virnia's lecture on the "Elemental Fundamentals Course", which is a course that runs through the apprenticeship, formal, and advanced level, bringing the apprentice into the door of elemental magic from shallow to deep.
"Heidi and Reilia are said to have more than a dozen arcane points, and they are already official arcanists......" Cherie thought with envy about the situation of several good friends.
Virnia said from the podium, "...... The theory of ancient elemental magic was introduced here, and the current elemental system is based on the atomic theory of Lord Hathaway. What is an atom? It is the most basic substance, the substance that can no longer be divided. The same atom makes up this class of elements, which have various properties, react differently, and combine to form all the substances in the world. This is also the basis for courses such as 'Potions' and 'Alchemy'."
"If I had come to Alinge a year earlier, and now that I had graduated and left school, I would have been able to join Teacher Evans' atomic research institute like Heidi and her sisters, and start magical arcane experiments and become a real arcanist. Cherry, who was in a daze, was quite annoyed, feeling that she had wasted a year of her time, and she had not even passed the arcane basic exam.
Vernia continued the course, pleased with the dedicated high-level apprentices—they already knew the importance of the study of arcane and magic, and understood that it directly represented power, power, and status, so few were slack and careless. It's completely different from the apprenticeship who just started the magic school.
The high-level apprentices of the "Douglas" School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who have been expelled due to their learning attitude can be counted on two hands.
“...... I have brought some pure elements, which you will first know and then experiment to understand their properties, as well as the role of different alchemical reactions and potions. Viernia took out a bottle of magically sealed element, and at the same time opened the magic circle, turning the lectern into an alchemy platform.
Apprenticeships and formal apprenticeships seldom talk about the nature of the elements in such depth, but only lead students to understand the elements, understand the basic properties of the Tao, memorize the equations of magical reactions, and focus on developing their hands-on ability to study magic.
The brilliant glow of the magic array pulled Cherry's thoughts back. Viernia was seen holding up two vials of elementals: "These are two structures of carbon...... Atoms make up elements. Carbon is the main component of the human body......"
Looking at the crystal clear diamonds and the dark gray opaque "scales" that shimmered with metallic luster, Cherie had a strong shock even though she had already heard Lucien's explanation: "The carbon elements with different structures are like the difference between angels and devils......
"And is it the main building block of the human body?" Cherie looked at her slender and delicate hand, and it was hard to imagine that it was composed of carbon elements that were different from the "actual" "appearance" of the bottle. "Carbon can also be divided into individual carbon atoms. The other elements that make up the body too. Could it be that the essence of 'me' is such tiny particles?"
Turning his head to look out the window, the sycamore-like trees were growing green, and one was wearing a black top hat. A man in a dark suit walked under a tree with a cane, and across from him came a curvaceous lady in a light purple cake dress.
"Such a graceful gentleman, such a beautiful and intelligent lady, such a colorful and splendid world, are they all made up of those indivisible little atoms?" Cherry, who has not yet officially stepped into the magical world, is really a little unimaginable about this.

Inside the Atomic Research Institute.
Lucien improved the magic circle that created the vacuum and tried the experiment again.
After confirming that the cathode rays were continuously deflected in the electromagnetic field, Lucien took a deep breath and began to adjust the magic array of magnetic and electric fields.
After a while, Lucien recorded the data and began to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles contained in the cathode rays in his mind.
Unlike the excitement and nervousness of measuring Planck's constant, Lucien is very calm at this time, like an emotionless machine.
If the mind is calm and there are no waves, there will be no illusions.
Experiments in different parts of the room were heard from time to time, and Lucien was not affected in the slightest way, and accurately calculated the answer:
"The charge-mass ratio is 11 times 11 times 10. ”
In the realm of Lucien's spiritual world, the meditation environment regenerates and changes, and the light points of the different elements are suddenly magnified, surrounded by countless small lights, and the trajectory is mysterious and indescribable, and it seems to contain infinite secrets.
"This is electron!"
Electrons that break the illusion of the indivisibility of atoms!
The microcosm of the world realm is far more complex than the arcanists imagined, and it will be more exciting and incredible!
............
Rentat, inside the monastery.
After listening to Bishop Abidal's speech, a trainee priest asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, why did God not directly create man and all things, but first create atoms?"
Since the Lord created the atom first, and the study of the worldly world and the human body also shows this, there must be a deep meaning in it. Abidal shouted at the Trainee Priest Daniel's question, which was a mortal speculating on God's thoughts!
If it had been in the late stages of the Dawning War, Daniel would have been arrested in the Inquisition right away!
Abidal looked at the probationary priests below, who looked a little panicked, and his voice softened a little: "The indivisibility of the atom is the embodiment of its holy nature, representing the lord's domination over the worldly realm, which cannot be broken by those arcanists who claim to master the truth of the worldly realm. All you need to do is remember this and be able to use it in your studies. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency. The probationary pastors replied respectfully.
Abidal nodded in satisfaction, ordinary priests only need to understand this approximate extent, anyway, all the roots can be attributed to the Lord - more in-depth study can easily embark on the path of evil magicians, and it is easy to be confused by the Magic Council under the endless theories of the Magic Council, and thus be swallowed by the Holy Light.
For example, the Magical Council's assumption that "energy is a portion" has had no effect on clergy such as themselves. Whether it is continuous or discontinuous, it is the Lord's creation!
............
From those tracks, Lucien captures the marvelous symbols that perfect his "elemental order" magic, though it is incomplete.
Although the reason for knowing the Tao is probably something, Lucian did not forcibly change his cognitive world, for himself, logical deduction, formula proposal, theoretical verification, and experimental confirmation These steps must be done before constructing the cognitive world.
Even if the cosmic constants of this world and the earth are consistent, you can't blindly construct according to the earth's experience, otherwise it is easy to explode your head when you find that the two worlds are not the same.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth!
After memorizing the new magic symbols, Lucien changed the composition of the metal matter at the core of the cathode magic array and the low-pressure gas. Redo the experiment.

Inside the Glorious Cathedral of Holm.
Philippel took out a copy of the information passed on by the Holy City of Reims: "Confirmed. Fernando's new student, Lucien Evans? X is Lucien Evans, the dead musician of the City of Chants. Salder had sent several night watchmen to assist in the matter. ”
The Storm Lord is a Grand Arcanist, and the attention to him has always been one of the priorities of the Church, so even if he just becomes his disciple, Lucien's attention has skyrocketed. Information was transmitted to cardinals and cardinals in the various dioceses. He was soon "recognized" by the parish of Vaorit.
"Lucien Evans, who wrote Ode to Joy?" Bahá'u'lláh was in disbelief. "Is there something wrong with his mind? Does he have two souls in his body? Otherwise, how can he be an angel and a devil?"
Valenhill had a cold face: "Do you think that he has a heart for the light but is in hell?"
"It's not impossible, his 'energy discontinuity' assumption has almost ruined quite a few high-level arcanists. Much better than most of the Night's Watch and Cardinals. "Anyway, the musician is dead, and it would be a fake to appear in the future." ”
"We're not going to send someone to get rid of him?" said Valenhill, with a strong murderous intent.
Filibel shook his head: "It's not that important, even if he is the youngest Holm Crown Award winner, even if he is a student of Fernando." Wait for the arrival of the Night's Watch sent by Salder to discuss it. ”
............
It was already late at night after the experiment, so Lucien simply stayed in the office to sort out his experimental paper and write the rest of it:
“...... Experiments have shown that the negatively charged particles emitted under different material conditions have the same charge-to-mass ratio, regardless of whether the cathode is generated or the gas in the tube. This suggests that many substances contain the same kind of particles......"
“...... Its charge-to-mass ratio is about two thousand times that of the hydrogen ion charge-to-mass ratio in the electrolyte. ”
“...... From approximate charge estimates, we can find that the mass of this particle is about one-thousandth of a hydrogen atom......"
"As we all know, hydrogen is the first in the periodic table, and its atom is the lightest and smallest particle, so what is this particle with a mass of only one-thousandth of it?"
"New 'atoms'? or something?"
............
At eight o'clock in the morning, Fernando was thinking in his study.
At this time, he saw Lucien arrive half an hour earlier than usual.
"Teacher, I have completed a series of experiments and written a new paper, please help me to read it. Lucien smiled nonchalantly.
Fernando noticed the oddity, reached out and took the paper, and saw the title at a glance:
"The Discovery of a New Particle".
His face grew serious, and Fernando began to read it carefully, and after a long time, he looked up at Lucien carefully, and did not speak for a long time.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Lucien was a little furious by his red eyes, hadn't he already reached a consensus with Lord Hathaway to temporarily abandon the theory of the indivisibility of atoms?
Fernando rubbed the corners of his eyes, clicked his lips, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly:
"I always felt that one day you would destroy the world. (To be continued......)
