Chapter 103: A Rare Compliment

"Nature?" Nesica coughed, "Commissioner Evans, your explanation is appropriate, but as a journal in the field of mathematics and physics, is the name too broad?

This is the question of everyone, including Levsky, "Arcane", "Magic", "Astrology", "Elements" and other journals can roughly judge the direction of the papers in them according to the title, but "Nature" will make people mistakenly think that it is a journal founded by the druids, even if they like Lucian's praise of mathematics, and like the phrase "the most beautiful and essential language in nature, the uniform rules of all fields", but the status quo of mathematics in the service of arcane and magic tells them that not everyone agrees with this.

Of course, Lucien can't say that it is the onset of his own bad tasteβ€”science also has to define its own meaning, create words, and "nature" can be directly quoted: "Although Nature is currently a journal in the field of pure mathematics and physics, I have good hopes for it, and I hope that in the future, in addition to pure mathematics and physics, it will also publish arcane theories that are temporarily not understood or understood by almost everyone, and slowly develop into a journal that focuses on pure mathematics and describes the reality of the world, which can be comparable to "Arcane" and "Magic". ”

This, this is inevitably too whimsical, "Arcane" and "Magic" have a history of hundreds of years of development, one is slightly more theoretical, the other is inclined to the application aspect, they are all the "Holy Texts" in the hearts of Arcanists, and they have an irreplaceable status.

After a brief moment of consternation, everyone took Lucian's words as his best wishes. Didn't take it to heart. Mirina smiled: "Using mathematical language to describe the truth of the world, well, it seems that the title of the journal is "Nature", at least it is better than "world" and "real", and "mathematics" lacks expansive ......."

"It's a good thing to publish arcane theories that are not understood or understood by almost everyone! Perhaps in the future there will be many theories that go against our real-world instincts and will be difficult to be accepted in a short time, and our journals will be able to help 'them'. Levsky thought of himself and was very much in favor of Lucian's proposal.

The raunchy middle-aged man, Salgueiro, frowned: "But how can you tell the difference between a valuable but buried theory or a ridiculous and erroneous paper that deliberately seeks to be strange and strange? If Nature completely opens the door, a journal with an impact factor of 2.0 will make most arcanists blush, and this is not encouraging them to detach themselves from reality." Detachment from research. Do you make it up so that no one else can understand it, and then quote each other?"

Levsky did not yet have the consciousness of the editor-in-chief of the journal and did not know how to answer for a while, while Lucian smiled preparedly: "Nature is a journal in the field of 'pure' mathematics and physics. That, of course, must be based on pure mathematical logic. As long as the premise of this paper is not wrong. There is no problem with logical deduction, and even if it cannot be reviewed by the committee for the time being, it can be posted as a discussion. And if the premise assumptions and logical deductions are wrong, it is undoubtedly an unqualified paper and can be rejected directly. ”

"Yes, that's it!" Levsky remembered Lucian's deafening speech.

Nesica, Mirina, Marpel, Salgueiro and other commissioners nodded silently, and involuntarily remembered the mistakes they had made against Levsky.

After a few minutes, Nesica looked up at the sunset outside: "This is the longest and most instructive mini-discussion I've ever attended. Mr. Evans, please submit your three papers for review as soon as possible, and we are waiting for the results to be evaluated, and we will strive to complete them before the application is approved by the journal Nature. ”

Even if all the members of the mathematical and physical fields who are currently in Alinge are gathered in the conference room, the process that should be followed must be submitted, and it needs to be submitted by the Wizard Management Department and summarized by the Alchemy Life Distribution.

"I'll submit it before the Wizard Management Department closes today. Lucien realized that he had been so concentrated that it had come to five o'clock in the afternoon, and that he had spent almost the whole day in Levsky's lectures and his own roars, and that he had not even enjoyed lunch.

Seeing Nesica, Salguero and other commissioners leave, Levsky turned to Lucian and said: "Commissioner Evans, thank you, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, a genius mathematician, I think I would have to continue to live a life of exile and bitter grievances." ”

Due to the long-term stagnation of his strength, his failure to be promoted to the middle rank, and his concentration on the perfection of the new geometric system, he did not take on tasks and did not waste too much time on alchemy, Levsky's life was quite difficult, and he had to leave Alinge, where the rent and food prices were high, to live in a nearby town, relying on the subsidies of second-level arcanists and second-ring magicians.

So, even though the emotions had settled, when he expressed his gratitude again, Levsky was still quite emotional and excited, and Commissioner Evans saved himself and "his own children".

"You deserve it, and you don't have to thank anyone, so you also have to put Nature on a good job and make it a good place for geniuses who can't be understood for the time being. Lucien's voice was gentle.

Levsky's mood fluctuated several times today, and by now he was quite tired, and he smiled with a strong smile: "Anyway, I'm really grateful, but it's a pity that I'm not good at magic in the elemental realm, and I can't go to the Atomic Research Institute to work with you with Commissioner Evans, and I can't learn more from you." ”

"On the contrary, I learned perseverance from you. Well, just call me Evans or Lucian, it doesn't have to be that formal. Lucien said meaningfully and vaguely, "Everyone has their own areas of expertise, there is no need to force others, Levsky, you also know that your new geometry and my new geometry are only a framework at present, and there is still a lack of specific research and analytical ability, I hope we can continue to explore in this direction together." ”

"Of course, you can't forget about arcane and magic anymore, and in order to achieve more results and solve more problems in the field of mathematics and physics, you must improve your arcane skills and magical prowess. In this way, you can live longer, so that your head will not degenerate when you are old. ”

"That's exactly what I want to study!" replied Levsky, excited and excited.

Seeing the deep exhaustion between his eyebrows, Lucien motioned for him to go back and rest first, and sleep peacefully.

With his hands in the pockets of his double-breasted gown, he quietly watched Levsky leave, and Lucien was about to turn around and sort out the papers and send them to the Wizard Management Department to submit them, when suddenly a sentence came from his ear:

"Your speech today is not bad, and you can realize that the closer we get to the realm of the past life, the more our bodies and souls are limited to us. Magic and mathematical tools must be relied on tightly. And abandon the correspondence with reality. Focusing only on the axiomatic assumptions and intrinsic logical deductions at the beginning may be a direction in which mathematics continues to develop. Fernando looked ahead with a blank face, and praised Lucien for a rare time.

Even with the rather low level of praise, Lucien was flattered. Looked at Fernando carefully. I'm worried that he's a little crystal illusion. As a result, he glared back at him and confirmed the truth: "It's just that I feel what happened to Levsky's new geometry." ”

"Really?" Fernando looked at Lucien with a smirk.

Lucien replied quickly, "Of course." By the way, what have you been working on lately, teacher?"

Fernando gave him an angry look: "I redid the experiment with the cursed substance. It was found that it would indeed emit electrons and a new element, and in this substance, there seemed to be traces of other unfamiliar elements, but the traces were quite small and unknown, and it could not be extracted for the time being, so it would take a certain amount of time and work. ”

"But that's enough to drive most arcanists crazy, what are the elements, what are the atoms, what is the inner structure of it, and what does it radiate new elements?"

"So, I've been conjecturing about the internal structure of the atom for a while, but unfortunately without the right magic assistance, it's difficult to go deep into the microscopic world, which is the natural conditions of our body and soul that limit us. ”

Lucien finally understood why his short speech could impress his teacher Fernando, and made him make a rare compliment, it turned out that he was already thinking about the internal structure of the atom, so he considered the language and said, "In this regard, we should make bold assumptions, and then use experiments to rule it out." In cases where it is not possible to directly observe the inside of the atom, we can only rely on indirect methods. ”

"You think I don't know what to say?" Fernando snarled at Lucian.

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

Inside the tower.

Samantha knocked on the door of the study with a thick stack of papers, and heard the teacher's slightly melancholy voice: "Come in." ”

Seeing that the teacher had this kind of emotion, Samantha raised her thin golden eyebrows, maintained a serious and indifferent expression, and pushed open the door: "Teacher, the paper that needs to be reviewed today." ”

"Well, is it Lucien Evans?" Nessica, wearing a gray top hat, looked back.

Samantha flipped through: "Another Hypothesis on the Parallel Lines Theorem...... Lucien Evans...... Teacher, did you lose today?"

"Yes, lost, lost badly, pride and prejudice brought us to a crush. Levsky's new geometry was right, a new geometry that was fundamentally different from the geometry of the tower, but compatible with it. "In the absence of outsiders, it was as if Nesica had aged ten years because of this.

Samantha was slightly stunned: "Lucien? Evans came up with a solid model?"

She is an arcane genius alongside Larry, Yurisian, Rachel and others, and is good at astrology, electromagnetism, and mathematics, but after reading Levsky's paper, she is also unacceptable and unable to believe that this conclusion is contrary to intuitive understanding.

"Yes, a hyperboloid that resembles a saddle. "He also gave proof of the compatibility of two geometries on the unit circle, and proposed another new geometric system, a new geometry as opposed to Levsky geometry, which is truly a genius." Maybe next month he will be able to get the Arcane Scepter Award with Levsky, not for sharing, but for their respective contributions. ”

Samantha's expressionless serious face appeared with a complicated change: "I didn't think of anything...... I won the highest honors in three fields before the high rank......"

"Give me the paper and I'll write the results. Nesika didn't want to say anything more, and after reading the paper again, she picked up her quill and wrote:

Lucian Evans started from the opposite direction of Levsky's new geometric system, assumed that no straight line could be parallel to the known straight line at a point outside the straight line, and then through perfect logical deduction, obtained a series of bizarre and bizarre propositions and conclusions, and again constructed an independent and complete new geometric system, Evans geometry, and he proved the realizability of this new geometric system on a spherical surface, so that it is no longer a simple imagination.

Putting aside the practical significance, starting from axioms and public assumptions, and focusing only on the rigor and self-consistency of logical deduction, Lucien Evans presents us with such a unique concept, which brings great impact, and at the same time, his definition and description of curvature also brings a conceptual innovation. ”

"There is no doubt that his new geometry system has made an outstanding contribution to the development of the field of geometry, with breakthrough, popularity, and very important status, and it is of great discussion value, and it is recommended to reward four hundred arcane points and four thousand arcane points. ”

While Nesika was writing, Samantha did not leave, and kept watching, with a mixture of chagrin, envy, and frustration on her face.

"Samantha, in a while a new issue will come out, the cover inscription is a summary of Lucien Evans's speech, and the front page is the content of his speech, if you look closely, you should have some new understanding of mathematics and arcane exploration. Putting down the quill, Nesica said casually.

"Huh?" Samantha was stunned at first, then intensely curious. (To be continued......)
