The silver-white and black magic array sparkled with electric light, enveloping the material that was constantly fissioning in the center, and the majestic energy generated by it turned into various energy sources that could be used by the "Sky Castle" through the nearby transformation magic array.

This time, the fission reactor no longer had the feeling of being so violent and ferocious that it could not be suppressed, although it still contained great danger, but it became very stable and controllable.

"Teacher, congratulations to you and Granny Hathaway, Mr. Lavendi, and President Morris. Lucien said from the bottom of his heart that he had made little contribution to this achievement except for proposing a fission reaction and helping to analyze the cause of the self-detonation, which was the crystallization of the legendary wisdom of the four of them.

The design of this fission reactor is not comparable to that on Earth, because it is a combination of reverse cracking and forward theory, there are often various unknown dangers in the middle, and if you are not careful, you will encounter self-explosion and curse, so there are no people below the legend to participate in the actual construction, and in the case of lack of manpower, Fernando and Hathawaya have become the legend of the two elemental systems of Lavendi and Maurice.

Fernando smiled, but pursed his lips: "What should have been done a long time ago is that I myself was too stupid and took a lot of detours." ”

In terms of strict requirements for results and habitual disparagement, he did not let go even of himself.

"In any case, with a stable large-scale fission reactor, the 'Sky City' will have a standing source of energy, which can be said to be a huge breakthrough in our energy well research, and the energy problems that previously shackled us will be effectively solved. Lucien was very pleased with the results.

Fernando straightened his messy hair, and his slightly cloudy red eyes looked intently at the fission reactor: "The next step is the miniaturization of the fission reactor." When the time comes, artificial planets, airships, space observation stations, and some steam trains that need to be equipped with strong defenses and attack magic arrays will be given a powerful beating 'heart'. ”

At that time, artificial planets, airships, etc., can complete laser beams, electromagnetic cannons, kinetic energy weapons and other attacks that require huge energy consumption, and in the three-dimensional concept of war, in addition to the original ground, sky, and surrounding space blockade, space will be added...... When Lucien heard his teacher's words, he subconsciously thought of the change in the form of the war, when the two sides fought each other, without magic fluctuations. Suddenly, a real "meteorite" from the sky is not a dream.

And for the wizarding world. Miniaturization is much easier than the previous stabilization!

"It's just that the energy of the fission reactor is still a little insufficient, and if we can complete the controllability, stabilization and miniaturization of nuclear fusion, then we will all be the sun kings." Lucien said exaggeratedly in a humorous tone, "And. Many particle experiments in the microscopic field can be put on the agenda. The Very Large Particle Collider, which I proposed at the Supreme Council meeting, should also be included in the secret project of the Magic Research Council. ”

In a lot of research in the micro field. Fission reactors are indispensable, providing a large number of particles that would normally be difficult to find, and can also directly "participate" in the experimental process. Therefore, stable fission reactors are the results of the current research in the microscopic field.

Lucien proposed the Super Large Particle Collider because the conventional electromagnetic cyclotrons and collision magic arrays in the magic laboratory were increasingly unable to keep up with the needs of high-level arcanists in terms of providing higher energy for particles.

"Well, when I was doing research on the properties of neutrons, I discovered the importance of a stable fission reactor. At the mention of arcane research, Fernando's expression became very serious and serious, and then, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect neutrons of different velocities to cause such a huge contrast......"

At this point, he became a little thoughtful: "The large number of experiments with neutrons and protons has increasingly given me the illusion that maybe they are not necessarily elementary particles, such as the superheavy particle that can participate in the nuclear force, which struck me as odd." ”

In the past year, under the influence of Heidi's discovery of new particles (muons), more and more arcanists have devoted themselves to the study of cosmic rays, whether it is the atomic research institute or the tower's cosmic observatory, it is very difficult to apply, and it is normal to queue for two or three months, and among them, Annick and others have discovered positively charged and uncharged muons, and Annonis of the tower has discovered a particle heavier than protons and neutrons, and it can participate in strong interactions (nuclear force), and it is initially named "hyperon".

"I never said that protons and neutrons must be elementary particles, at least no theory can naturally deduce this conclusion, and I have always described them as the internal structure of the atomic nucleus. Lucien understood that this was a reminder from his teacher's own experiments and keen intuition that he would not be blown off his head as a pioneer and founder of the microscopic realm when he discovered more fundamental particles in the future.

I have to say that with the passage of time, in the research of the microscopic field, the Grand Arcanists and Legendary Magicians are no longer following them step by step, but have their own independent expansion and research after digestion and absorption.

Seeing Lucian's arcane open-mindedness, Fernando didn't say anything more, and there were no experiments and phenomena in itself that could clearly draw this question, it only came from his own arcane intuition.

"Alright, I'll have to hurry up and talk to Hathaway about miniaturization. As soon as there was nothing else, Fernando's impatient personality surfaced and he left the core of the "city in the sky" in a hurry.

"Miniaturization...... This is beyond the level of the earth......" Lucien smiled and shook his head, this is not only a beautiful road, but also contains many dangers, such as whether the miniaturized fission device is fragile, whether there is a mature way to deal with the nuclear leakage caused, in this regard, the fusion device is much safer, after the explosion, it is damaged within the explosion range, there will be no long-term hidden dangers, and it is clean.

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

As soon as he returned to the Atomic Research Institute, Lucien saw Heidi's "complaining" eyes.

"Teacher, are you late......" Heidi was a little nervous after preparing her report for a long time, but the teacher who had always arrived early was still late.

Lucien was in a good mood and said, "A little unexpected thing is delayed, let's start." ”

Heidi put away her deliberate expression. Along with Cherly, Lowe, Ophelia, and others, they were joined by Lazar, Annick, Splinter, and other Arcanists at the Institute, and for them, this kind of debriefing allowed them to gain something new every time, especially in areas where they did not study much, so that even if Lucien did not force them to participate in the monthly seminar, they joined on their own.

This time, Heidi, Cherly, and others' "artificial intelligence" is more than half smaller than last time. It's still a behemoth. But it's barely acceptable.

Heidi turned on the power, a slight electric current sounded, and the red and green lights began to flash.

"After the last test run, we found a lot of problems. The following improvements were made...... "The things introduced were naturally done by Heidi, who was the most cheerful and conversational. She manipulates "artificial intelligence" on the one hand. On the one hand, he introduced his own design theory, specific design ideas, modular applications, program storage, etc.

Although this seems to be quite far from the real arcane research, under Lucien's "tutelage", the people present and listening are all masters of mathematics and science. It is two or three arcane masters who specialize in but are well-versed in all kinds of knowledge, and naturally they can hear the mathematical ideas and simulation of human thinking activities contained in it, and the system that uses the numbers 0 and 1 to represent everything gave them a deep shock, which seems to be a major embodiment of the "simple beauty" in the arcane, which seems to symbolize the simplicity and mystery of the essence of the world.

After Heidi's introduction, she looked at Sprint "provocatively": "Didn't you say last time that mental arithmetic speed is faster than our 'artificial intelligence'?

Splinter has always had a strong self-confidence, even bordering on rebelliousness, so he snorted: "Okay, if you lose, you have to help me be an experimental assistant for a month, if I lose, it's the same, but you can't solve the problem." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Lucian: "Please also ask the teacher to ask the question." ”

Lucien nodded, picked a difficult topic that required a lot of data to calculate, and then announced with a smile that it began.

The red and green lights kept flashing, so fast that it was impossible to tell the difference, and the whole laboratory became like a prom scene, and four seconds later, a beep sounded, and Heidi said happily, "The results are in!"

She was using mental power to input, so it didn't take much time to enter.

Splinter looked up and looked at Heidi in disbelief, and it took another ten full seconds before he whispered, "I also figured it out, and this is the result...... Try again. ”

It's not that he doesn't admit defeat, but like testing the limits of this artificial intelligence.

This time, it was Annick, Katrina and others who came up with the problem, but Sprint failed even if he used the auxiliary calculation circle.

"Ha Luha, this artificial intelligence is equal to the computing power of a high-level magician, and it is good at processing a large amount of data, and is good at long-term calculations, in these aspects, even high-level magicians can't compare, Annick, you can try. Heidi smirked.

Annick didn't bet, but curiously compared, with the help of the auxiliary calculation array, when facing the problem of non-large amount of data processing, he and "artificial intelligence" have wins and losses, but when he encounters the kind of big data that needs to be processed for a long time, he has to admit that it is indeed not as good as "artificial intelligence".

"Very good, congratulations on taking a solid step forward to submit your paper, which should help you get an award. Lucien smiled.

The discovery of the new particle did not bring glory to Heidi, although she later confirmed that this particle does not participate in strong interactions, and is not a predicted meson, but a new particle, but because in the past ten years, the standards of the Holm Crown Award have become more and more "strict", so it is still a little worse.

Heidi and Cherie couldn't help but smile brightly, but soon looked forward to the future: "Hathaway, Helen, and Oliver, they are introducing some of the knowledge of the quantum realm into magical crystallography, hoping to make a big breakthrough, and when the time comes, 'artificial intelligence' will really get rid of the coarse and bulky." ”

At this time, Sprint saw a strange icon on the water screen display, so he curiously used his mental power to trigger it, and as a result, the screen changed, and a simple process of superimposing blocks appeared.

"Is this?" Lucien raised an eyebrow with a smirk.

Heidi, Cherie and the others' faces turned red at once, and the last one was Heidi's expectation: "Teacher, a small game used to test modules, we, we are not ......"

"Yes, that's good. Lucien said with a smile without waiting for her to finish, without a hint of blame in his tone.

Hedi was stunned. (To be continued......)
