Chapter Ninety-Nine: A New Vacuum Model

In the classroom, all the students' eyes were focused on Ali's face, but he didn't realize it, his eyes looked straight at the teacher Brian, as if to confirm to him that what happened just now was not his own auditory hallucination, not his own dream.

Brian's main interest in the magic school was illusion and psychoanalysis, so he smiled and nodded, repeating the meaning of the previous words: "Yes, you are the best one in the entire grade in this exam, congratulations, you will get that special prize." ”

It turned out to be true!

It turned out to be true!

Ali's heart "exploded" at once, his clenched hands trembled slightly, and only those few words came and went in his mind:

"Space Observatory!"

"Atomic Research Institute!"

"Jane!"

"Vast starry sky!"

"Ali, don't you share your joy and learning experience with everyone?" Brian's voice brought Ali back to his senses.

"Yes, Ali, we are all new to the basics of arcane arts and common sense of magic, how can we learn it well?" said some of the students who came from ordinary civilian backgrounds like Ali.

They have only been in school for half a year, they have not suffered too serious setbacks, they have not yet shown symptoms of self-defeat, and they are still in the stage of desperately wanting to change their fate through knowledge, so they are more curious and eager than jealous about Ali's miraculous rise in ranking.

Ali stood up, opened his mouth, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly recalled the difficult journey during this period of time, and remembered the scenes of forgetting to sleep and eat. There was a little sourness in that joy, and my eyes were sour, and I couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly.

"I, I just thought, my father was not a magician, not a nobleman, not a banker, not a big businessman, and my talent was nowhere near as good as those geniuses who could get into magic schools at a very young age, to keep up with them. Only by working harder than they are. Especially now that it's a foundation stage that's not too complicated. Lord Evans once said that at this stage, attitude is more important than talent......" Ali said in a slightly choked voice, thinking of what to say. It's a bit confusing.

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

In the blink of an eye, it is almost the harvest month (September) again. None of the islands controlled by the council were attacked by Mardimos. It seemed that all of his energy was focused on uniting the Sea Clan, so Brooke returned to Alinge early.

And within the "atomic universe". The complex magic array on the top floor of the Tower of Babel is gradually approaching perfection, and the hall is reverberating with "fluctuations in time and space".

"Ready?" Natasha had just noticed the anomaly as soon as she returned from Nexer Palace.

Lucien packed up the materials for arranging the magic array, smiled and nodded, "There is still a little detail of the decoration, which will probably be completed in a few days." ”

"It's a pity that the 'Shield of Truth' hasn't been completely repaired yet, otherwise I would have wanted to jump over with you, what would the real sun look like......" Natasha rubbed her chin with a very longing look and a regretful tone.

Without the protection of the "Shield of Truth", her strength is not enough to resist the ultra-high temperature close to the sun, so she resolutely restrained this idea and did not take risks, otherwise it would be irresponsible to her family, her father, and her subjects, after all, Lucien himself was not very sure, who knew whether the Dao teleportation was at the right distance, or closer to the sun, or even on the surface of the sun?

Lucien smiled humorously, "This matter must be the responsibility of Mardimos. ”

He paused and continued: "If you can really find the sun, you can see it whenever you want to see it in the future, by the way, I have a paper, you can go to Alinge tomorrow to help me submit it." ”

Natasha snorted, "You still have time to write your paper?"

In order to hurry up and set up this magic array, Lucien has not been to the Atomic Research Institute for two or three months.

"I have already written the one that I have written. Lucien pulled a paper out of his storage bag and handed it to Natasha.

After Natasha took it, her eyes swept curiously, and she read the title: ""The Positron Found in Cosmic Rays and a Little Enlightening Thought on the Existence Model of Positive and Negative Particles", are you ready to submit this paper?"

"Yes. Lucien bowed his head slightly, "After the establishment of the 'Cosmic Observatory', the discovery of the positron is only a matter of time, probably within a year or two, and when dealing with the 'Lord of Hell', I have already used the 'Yang Electron Cannon' and may be seen by the 'Elven Empress...... This spell model isn't that easy to build anyway. ”

For a long time, this was its own magic.

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

At the beginning of the harvest year, a group of young boys and girls came to the gate of the Atomic Research Institute.

"What will the Atomic Institute look like......" Ali took a deep breath and said to himself to Anderson, whom he had just met next to him, who was the first in the second year of the second general education school.

As Ali spoke, out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the girl in a pale yellow simple dress not far away, her face was exquisite, and her slightly curled black hair was meekly and softly draped over her shoulders, like a quiet and pitiful doll.

At the six-pointed star platform before, students from various schools had already introduced themselves, so Ali Zhilu said that this was his pen pal "Jane".

However, under the deliberate isolation of the aristocratic school teacher, Ali did not dare to talk to Jane, lest the teacher suspect Jane and inform Jane's father and mother that there would be no way to even do pen pals - in the bard's stories, in the plays, and in the opera, no matter what the relationship between the noble lady and the poor boy was, 99% of them would meet with strong opposition from the aristocratic family.

As if sensing that Ali was looking at her, Jane turned her head slightly, with a soft smile on her face, which made Ali excited and enthusiastic.

"Anyway, you won't be disappointed. Anderson had visited the Atomic Research Institute last time, so he looked like he was the owner of the place, but he was just as nervous and excited, "What would the real starry sky look like......

What will the vast starry sky, which carries countless legends and stories and countless beautiful yearnings, look like?

"What did you see the last time you came?" Ali asked deliberately. lest he be suspected of knowing it.

Anderson had a cheerful personality and was slightly flamboyant, so he said a little ostentatiously, "Last time, we completed the particle collision experiment under the guidance of mid-level arcanists such as Mr. Lazar and Lady Heidi......"

During that visit, most of the Arcanists of the Atomic Research Institute were conducting their own experiments, and in order to keep the data secret, they were not allowed to get too close, but Lazar, Roque, Heidi and other more communicative Arcanists led their students to go through them roughly and do a few famous experiments.

“...... They are knowledgeable...... The entire laboratory was very quiet, except for the constant lighting of the magic circle and the slight sound of ......" with Anderson's introduction. The vision of the atomic research institute that Ali had built in his mind became clearer and clearer. The only thing that he is not satisfied with is that the descriptions of Anderson and others focus too much on "futuristic style" architecture and various bizarre magic arrays and alchemy devices, which seem to be high-end and magical, but do not reflect the style of the most cutting-edge area in the micro field.

At this time, the doors of the institute opened. A cacophony of voices came from within:

"Ophelia. Watch this episode of Arcane!"

"What?"

"Lord Evans has discovered positrons. There really are antiparticles!"

"This world is amazing......

A voice of exclamation with excitement came into the ears of Ali and other students, making them a little dazed, what is positron. What are antiparticles? But it sounds familiar?

As an unconfirmed guess, the concepts of positrons and antiparticles did not make it into the textbook of the "basic arcane class", so these students were confused.

But Lucian, known for his subversive theories, is the most legendary Grand Arcanist of the moment, and his speculation has also attracted attention and curiosity, often mentioned in newspapers and radio, and has become the "new protagonist" of the bard's story along with the negative energy vacuum sea, so Ali and others are familiar to him.

Elsewhere, they might be quick to remember, but this is the forefront of the microscopic realm, how can the nouns in the story appear?

"Ever since Lord Helen and Lord Oliver extended the Lucian equation to microscopic particles with spin non-integers, and let its brilliance envelop the entire microscopic realm, I know that the antiparticle prediction of Lord Evans will be confirmed sooner or later. Luo Wei said very excitedly, "The possibility of the existence of the negative energy vacuum sea has also greatly increased!"

Reilia and Ophelia flipped through a copy of Arcane together, understanding Lowe's excitement as they were equally excited, and suddenly, they snorted softly when they turned to the back of the paper.

The teacher did not mention the vacuum sea model of negative energy states, but abandoned the description of negative energy states and gave a new model, a model in which positive and negative particles appear in pairs and annihilate in pairs in a vacuum. Cherie jerked her head up, trying to see the same look of surprise on the faces of Lazar, Ophelia, and the others.

Reilia read out part of it: "...... According to the field theory and the new view of matter, all particles can be regarded as different fields, which belong to the excited state of the field, and the ground state of the field is a vacuum, so that the different fields in the ground state can be superimposed...... There is no vacuum in our world in the absolute sense, and the vacuum is not empty......"

“...... According to the uncertainty principle, there will be great fluctuations in energy in a very small, near-certain time frame...... So, the vacuum itself is an undulating sea of energy that keeps energy conserved as a whole...... In this process, the field moves from the ground state to the excited state, creating a pair of positive and negative particles out of thin air, and then the pair of positive and negative particles annihilates each other, releasing energy and conserving the whole ......"

“...... Because this process is very short and cannot be explored, this pair of positive and negative particles belongs to virtual particles, but in a specific situation or specific environment, this pair of virtual particles may be disturbed by external forces and separated, no longer annihilated by each other, and become real positive and negative particles, which may be one of the sources of matter, born out of 'emptiness' due to the principle of indeterminacy......"

As I read this, the entire Atomic Research Institute was unusually quiet, and Lazar, Cherry, and the others were shocked by the bold description of the model while understanding it.

The undulating sea of vacuum energy, the pairing appearance and annihilation of positive and negative particles, and the "empty" generation of matter all subverted their past understanding and gave them a brainstorming thoroughly.

And the undulating sea of energy also seems to explain the source of magical energy!

Ophelia, who was also good at astrology, suddenly muttered to herself, "The uncertain principle that is regarded as a demon because it may subvert determinism will be the source of our matter......"

Ali at the door was dizzy when he heard this, and turned to Anderson and said, "Do you understand what they are discussing?"

Anderson shook his head quickly: "I don't understand it at all...... What about you?"

Jane, who was not far away, also shook her head.

"I don't understand ...... either," Ali's expression was very dazed, "This may be the style of the most cutting-edge area in the micro field......

"Yes. "Anderson agrees.

Lazar barely recovered from the shock and stunned feeling, and turned to Ali and the others: "You are here, a group of four, each group can stay at the 'Cosmic Observatory' for half an hour, Heidi and Annick are waiting for you on it." ”

Each group can teleport five people, but they must be accompanied by a mid-level magician, and in the "Cosmic Observatory", although the laboratory is only enough for five people, the remaining space is enough for visitors, and the magic gems and energy consumed are borne by the council anyway.

Ali and the others got rid of their dazed state, and their hearts became hot.

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

Inside the "Atomic Universe".

Lucien walked to the center, ready to activate the magic array.

"To be honest, it only took two or three months from exploring the endless ocean to confirming the idea based on the data, and I always felt that it was too easy and too child-like. Natasha, who was "seeing off", rubbed her chin with her right hand and said.

"It didn't start with exploring the endless ocean...... Lucien blinked and smiled a little slyly,

Then, the light lit up, and the gate of time and space slowly condensed. (To be continued......)
