Chapter 126: Their Experiments (Part 3)

"This news, I believe, has received far more attention from the Arcanists than the Holm Crown Award on Monday. Three years have passed since His Excellency Speaker's light-speed experiment forcefully questioned the existence of 'Aether', and the wave-particle controversy broke out again, and was pushed to a new peak by Mr. Evans's hypothesis of light quantum, and it still has not been settled, becoming a veritable third wave-particle war in the history of magic. ”

"Looking back on the previous two 'wars', the wave theory led by Lord Brooke was already close to completely defeating the particle theory, so that the most stubborn people could only comfort themselves with the weak reason that the 'ether' could not prove its existence, so as not to collapse in the cognitive world, but the particle theory suddenly launched a new round of attacks on the wave theory with the help of the speed of light experiment and the light quantum hypothesis 'resurrection of the dead'. The photoelectric effect has become a mountain in the hearts of every proponent of the wave theory, but they have never been able to find a self-justifying theory to explain these two phenomena. ”

The simple introduction of "Lark" outlines the outlines of the Bocho War, and the young magician Blake is thrilled with his fists clenched in an attempt to knock the absolute few stubborn and nasty fellows to the ground, while he faintly hears the other magicians in the branch cursing loudly through the open window. There is no doubt that there is no such small group of proponents of particle theory here.

"After three years of brewing, the wave-particle war seems to have reached a stage where victory can be decided, Lord Brooke and Mr. Roland have completed the improvement of the magic array at the same time, and have the basis for conducting accurate photoelectric effect experiments, if the experimental data and images can strongly prove the error of the hypothesis of light quantum, then the particle theory will return to the half-dead state of the past. Relying on the speed of light experiments. ”

"This will be a historic event in the Council, a real event that marks the future direction and the world, so we've brought in a few random Arcanists to ask them what they think about it, and what exactly is felt within the Council on this matter. The crisp but passionate and infectious voice of "Lark" seems to be able to drill into everyone's heart, "Hello everyone, I am Lark, the anchor of "Alinge Weekly News Review". ”

"Hello, Miss Lark, you yourself are as beautiful as your voice. A clear male voice replied without nervousness. It seemed a little ecstatic and excited.

Several of the other male arcanists cringed a little. Say hello stiltedly.

"Hello, Miss Lark, I really enjoyed listening to your "Alinge News of the Week", you are more beautiful than we imagined. A female arcanist replied in a soft voice on behalf of several of her companions.

"Lark" said with a smile: "Xie Lu, thank you for your liking." I invite you here today to ask about one thing. I wonder what you think of Lord Brooke and Mr. Roland's upcoming precise light quantum experiments?"

"Hmm. It's something we've been waiting for a long time. It begins with Commissioner Evans throwing out the hypothesis of light quantum. We are waiting, waiting for some gentleman to come forward and prove that this hypothesis is wrong. Our own strength has not yet reached a high level, and the improvement of the magic array is still in the stage of exploration. So we can only wait, three years have passed, and at last we have waited for the day when we can openly refute this absurd hypothesis, and I trust that the Lord Brooke and Mr. Roland will give convincing results of the experiment. The clear male voice spoke eloquently, and his eloquence seemed to be quite good.

"I'm glad to see Lord Brooke and them complete the magic array improvements, I've had enough of those particle theory guys. ”

"The results of the experiment will prove that the wave theory is correct. ”

Several male arcanists also answered.

"Although I personally admire Commissioner Evans, admire his many arcane achievements, worship him for receiving the highest honors in four different fields before he was promoted to the high rank, tied for the first place in the history of the council, and worship him for becoming a high-level magician before the age of twenty-five, but I don't think that the light quantum hypothesis is correct, and Commissioner Evans can also make mistakes, well, he is more like a flesh-and-blood person, and more approachable......" The soft female voice seemed to want to ramble, but was interrupted by her companions.

After listening to the answer, the lark was a little puzzled and said with a slight smile: "It seems that no one believes that the experimental results will be beneficial to the optical quantum hypothesis? Is the dominance of the wave theory really so unshakable? After three years, there is still no other theory that can explain the photoelectric effect, and all the imprecise experiments during this period are perfectly in line with Commissioner Evans's optical quantum hypothesis, and even one of the phenomena he predicted has been confirmed, so you are really so sure that the experimental results will prove the optical quantum hypothesis wrong?"

"Definitely. ”

"It's inevitable. ”

"There is no doubt about it. ”

......

The nearly ten arcanists interviewed all answered in the affirmative, but their voices seemed to reveal a hint of weakness and lack of confidence compared to before.

Blake's clenched fists were released, and every time he was excited, it seemed that there were waves of deep blue pupils calm, revealing deep doubts and unconfidence, yes, it has been three years, and there is still no other theory to explain the photoelectric effect, all the experimental results are proving the correctness of the light quantum hypothesis, and similarly, several theories that try to explain the speed of light experiment have been falsified one by one, and the existence of the ether is in jeopardy.

Is the wave theory necessarily correct? Can the results of this experiment prove the false optical quantum hypothesis?

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

The sound of electricity sounded, and a hand with slightly dry skin landed on the button, and with a slight force, the alchemy radio was turned off.

After doing all this, Barek saw that the teacher Brooke was looking out the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the distorted magnetic field and beating arc of his electromagnetic kingdom, condescending like the master of everything, so he took a careful breath: "Teacher, have you listened to the previous "Alinge Weekly News Review"?"

"Well, it's a very good program format, Evans can make amazing results in any field. Brooke, who wore a wig and hair cover, bowed his head lightly, like an elegant and conservative old gentleman, "It's just that his humor and the vocabulary he has coined are sometimes not too comfortable for me." ”

"Whether it's Alinge, Rentat, Cooks, or the Solal Islands, more and more young magicians are using the novel vocabulary coined by Evans. This seems to have formed a trend in which whoever does not use it represents backward conservatism. Barek said with a faint smile. Then his expression became solemn, and he said a little hesitantly: "Teacher, you should have listened to the interview hosted by the lark?"

"Huh?" Brooke looked back at him.

Barek plucked up his courage and said, "I'm a little worried about the results of the experiment......"

"Getting to the point. Brooke said calmly that he didn't like to go around in circles or ramble on arcane matters.

Barek shut his mouth: "I have done several experiments before, and the results are biased towards the optical quantum hypothesis, it seems that only it can explain the photoelectric effect, and the results of the precise experiments I am worried will not be conducive to the fluctuation theory...... I hope that you don't have a firm idea before conducting an experiment. The wave theory is not without a way out. We still have diffraction images, we have a whole set of theoretical ......"

Behind Brookkin's glasses, a pair of deep, turquoise eyes stared intently at Barek, and after a while, when Barek was sweating a little. He withdrew his gaze. Look out the window. It seemed that Alinge, who had seen the main material world realm through the half-plane, saw the dark night of early spring again, and sighed in a low voice:

"It's going to rain......"

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

Alinge headquarters. The first area of the 31st floor was specially set aside for the use of "Sky Radio Station".

It was the middle of the night, and the "Voice of Mysteries" ended earlier than the "Truth of the World", so the whole floor was empty, almost no one came and went, and the footsteps stepped on the corridor, producing a crisp echo, cold and lonely.

After tidying up her belongings and taking a quota potion to protect her throat, Samantha "Lark" walked out of the lounge with brisk steps, ready to return home.

As soon as she went out, she saw that Lucien, who was wearing a black double-breasted long dress, was gentle and handsome, greeting the other arcanists of the World Realm True Channel, condolences for their hard work, so she maintained a serious and indifferent expression, and asked curiously in a crisp voice, "Evans, why are you still in the magic tower at this time?"

It was the dead of night...... Lucien hadn't been here at night since the two channels were on track, so what was going on today? Could it be that Lord Brooke and Mr. Roland's experiments had made him uneasy?

"I've just come to an end of some experiments at the Atomic Research Institute, and I thought you hadn't left yet, so I came over to take a look. Lucien said simply.

"Experiments, experiments with the precise photoelectric effect?" Samantha became more and more curious.

Lucien shook his head, "No. The teacher bombarded the gold leaf with a stream of helium atoms to give me some inspiration, and I was using it to bombard some gases to see what I could find, well, and I was also doing experiments with electron streams bombarding metal surfaces. ”

"So frankly, aren't you afraid I'll get ahead of you?" Samantha raised an eyebrow.

Lucien smiled, "It's a hard experiment, you need to sit there and watch the flickering points of light, look for the trajectory, and never know when the road will be rewarded." ”

"How do I think you have already gained so that you are not afraid of me taking the lead. Samantha smiled.

Lucien shook his head and smiled: "You don't believe it, I can't help it, well, the show is very successful, you and Louise have become the dream lovers of the young arcanist, but they always stay up late, which is not very good for the spirit." ”

"I'm an astrologer, and I'm used to looking at the stars in the middle of the night, and after recording it at night, I can play it again in the morning, so I don't have to come back. Samantha lowered her eyes, looked at the six black ring coats of arms on Lucian's chest, and was silent for a moment, "It's so late, why don't you find a place to eat something?" ”

Lucien smiled, "No, I'm going to the Atomic Research Institute soon." When my magic tower is completed, I will invite you to the banquet to thank you for your hard work. ”

After chatting a few words, watching Lucien turn away and disappear around the corner, Samantha sighed softly.

Back at the Atomic Research Institute, Lucien walked into the laboratory, sat down on the side of the alchemy observer, and then opened the magic array, continued the experiment just now, and recorded the data.

On the messy laboratory table on Lucian's right hand, a stack of white paper was randomly thrown in the corner, so that the clutter was suppressed in most of it, and it was vaguely visible that it was written underneath:

“...... The above is the accurate data and image of the photoelectric effect. (To be continued......)
