Chapter 22: Busy Lucien (3rd Shift Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Lucien was respectful of an honest archmage like Lavendi who focused on arcane research, and smiled: "I just got the Arcane journal, and I haven't had time to read it yet, but if you want to discuss this paper with me, that's fine, I communicated with Lord Oliver at the teacher's place a few days ago." ”
"Have you discussed it with him?" Lavendi was a little surprised, he had the impression that Oliver and Lucien had little communication, and he shouldn't have asked Lucian to communicate with anyone, but Lavendi quickly thought of a reason, it must be that the "Hand of Annihilation" was looking for the "Storm Master" to discuss, and Lucien happened to be there, so he pulled him along.
Thinking of this, he did not wait for Lucien to answer, and asked impatiently: "Do you think that the motion of matter relative to the 'ether' will cause the length to shrink, and is it necessary to explain Lord Douglas's experiment from the perspective of the 'ether'?"
Lavendi is a more enlightened but insistent elemental mage, who can accept that atoms can be divided, but cannot imagine that matter shrinks in length in motion without the fusion of mental forces.
"First of all, this is just a hypothesis, and like many previous proponents of the Wave Theory, it cannot be treated differently just because the proposer is a Grand Arcanist. Lucien repeated the reasons he had given to his students, and said, "And I don't think it's the contraction of matter itself, and if that is the case, I'm inclined to shrink space......"
Heidi and Annick around them all realized after hearing the conversation between Lucien and Lavendi that the teacher had read the paper beforehand. No wonder he looks calm and calm.
"Despise you!" Heidi muttered silently in her heart, and then, like Katrina and the others, listened intently to the discussion between her teacher and His Excellency Lavendi, checking the journal in her hand from time to time.
After a while, Lavendi interrupted the communication with some satisfaction, and Lucien looked up just in time to see six pairs of clear eyes of inquisitiveness, their expressions relaxed, as if their previous anxiety had been dispelled by his own opinion.
"Teacher, I still don't understand here. Katrina asked quickly. The teacher is still on our side!
Wait until Lucien explains the doubts one by one. Annick frowned, a little puzzled, and said, "Teacher, you said before that you are not biased towards particle theory or wave theory, so what is light?"
He mentioned this. Heidi and the others recalled the topic that stunned them and the others just now. They all looked at Lucien with confused, confused, and worried eyes.
Lucien thought for a moment. Keep a serious attitude: "If you can let go of the original concept of wave theory and particle theory, and really start from the experimental results and phenomena, you will find out." Light not only shows obvious particle-nature, such as the photoelectric effect, such as Brooke's scattering experiment, but also shows distinct waves, such as double-slit interference experiments, diffraction experiments, Brooke bright spots, so far, whether it is wave theory or particle theory, there are insurmountable defects so far, it is difficult to describe light completely, I tend to be at a higher level, waves and particles are unified, but in reality there will be different projections. ”
This was the first time that Lucien had laid a general explanation of this issue in front of others, which was to lay a psychological foundation for his own students.
After listening to Lucian's explanation, Annick and the others seemed to become thoughtful, but their faces were more confused.
Lucien didn't plan to continue to provoke the wave-particle war now, so he stopped in time and prepared to return to the office to read this issue of "Arcane" carefully, a few days ago in the evening, his cognition of the world was suddenly hazy and unseeable three-dimensional patterns, as if the teacher Fernando repeatedly mentioned the "new legendary class structure", which made Lucian wonder if someone had verified a certain prophecy of "new alchemy", but it was not the most important neutron.
Originally, Lucien's own "search for neutrons" was a matter of repeating the experiment, but now the magic level has not yet matched the cognitive world, and many commonly used magic have not been learned, and the foundation is very not solid.
Lucien believes that in one to two years, his seventh-ring and eight-ring magic is richer, and the magic level is more stable, which is the best time to "discover neutrons".
Just as he was about to take a step, Lucien felt the monocle burn again.
"Lucien, have you seen the new Arcane?" said Gaston this time.
Lucien smiled and exhaled, "I just finished discussing it with His Excellency Lavendi......"
After exchanging for a while, Gaston expounded his opinion, absorbed Lucian's opinion, and finally said: "I rarely discuss arcane issues with you like this, you are better than I thought, what other suggestions do you have regarding Lord Oliver's paper?"
"I think his system of transformation equations can be applied in many places, and I can study it carefully. Lucien mentions it pointedly.
Gaston couldn't hear Lucien's words now, and said with a smile: "I also think that many research fields can use this equation, by the way, Lucian, you still don't know the way, right?" The Arcane Review Committee discussed and decided that with your current arcane level, you should no longer only be responsible for subversive papers, you are a veritable authority, and naturally you have to take charge of the review of papers in the corresponding field. ”
"What field?" Lucien bared his teeth, since the "Folk Grand Arcanists" found that there was no way to make a breakthrough from themselves, they often didn't have a single paper that needed to be reviewed in a year, and they almost forgot that they also had the identity of the Arcane Review Committee, after all, there were so many subversive papers so often.
However, Lucien did not reject the committee's decision, because being able to review more papers is also an exercise, a way to get inspiration and ideas, and even those papers that are full of mistakes and fail to pass may lead to a new perspective.
Gaston said with a smile: "All the committee members unanimously agree that you are an authority in the fields of elements, alchemy, heat, and mathematics, and all the papers in the small fields of these four major fields may be transferred to you, in addition. You're also in charge of the photonics field of the light and dark faction, and the papers related to X-rays, electrons, etc. in the electromagnetic faction, no problem, right?"
So far, although Lucien has also won the Immortal Throne Award and the Silver Moon Medal, no one really thinks of him as an authority on necromancy and electromagnetism, let alone the astrology, force field, illusion, change, and summoning that have not yet achieved outstanding results.
"Nope. Lucien replied.
Gaston exclaimed, "Lucien, you are the most talented arcanist I have ever met. One more thing, I want to learn from you to form your own research institute, but in the microscopic field, with the atomic research institute in front, the parliament's resources in this area will definitely be tilted towards you. So I'm going to go beyond researching new alchemy. One more direction, I don't know what you suggest, what else is there for the elemental faction to pay attention to?"
Lucien seems to have been able to imagine that there will be more and more similar institutes, research centers, magicians are not fools, after the new alchemy is proposed. In addition to affirming their talents. The same will see the advancement of this form of research – regardless of the results. Or cheat on the funds.
After thinking about it, Lucien said solemnly: "I think that the research on the synthesis of life matter is far behind the current arcane development, and it is an area worth excavating. ”
"Thank you. Gaston thanked him sincerely.
End the call. Lucien smiled at the students who had not left out of curiosity, and their hearts were furious.
"Teacher, what's the matter?" asked Heidi, the most daring of all, with a little trembling, wouldn't there be any more exercises and test papers?
Lucien smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm just looking for something for you to do." ”
I'm worried about this!Reilia and Sprint all had bitter faces.
"As you just heard, I'm going to take on the full responsibilities of the Arcane Review Committee, so, as my students, you have to be responsible for the review of the papers I have assigned, just like the students of the other committee members. Lucien put away his smile and said.
Whew, exhalation sounded at the same time, and the faces of Sprint, Katrina, and the others showed surprise and relaxation, what a wonderful feeling it was to be able to review other people's papers, but soon, they were all depressed.
Cherie said timidly and unconfidently: "Teacher, although our arcane level is level three or four, and we can be regarded as mid-level arcanists, but this is due to studying at the Atomic Research Institute and by your side, what we see, hear, and come into contact with are the most cutting-edge things in the elemental field, and it is easy to get arcane points." ”
"And in fact, we have only been out of school for three or four years, a lot of knowledge has not been mastered, many arcane fields have not been studied in depth, the foundation is very unstable, let us review other people's papers, I am worried that there will be a lot of problems, and you will be punished. ”
The other students, including the most confident Sprint, nodded in agreement, and the steps were too big to fall.
"This is how to improve your arcane foundations. I review every paper you review, and if I find an error, the reviewer needs to write me a report on what went wrong and what I learned to avoid it. As I would like to know in advance, in recent years, my review will be very careful and strict until you are on the right path. Lucien said seriously.
"Yes, teacher. As soon as Lucien was serious, several students immediately agreed.
Then Heidi relaxed and touched her cheeks, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's quite good to review papers, and you can build your own knowledge system in the fastest time." I was scared to death before, and I thought that you wanted to give us the ten faction knowledge points and exercises like before. ”
"Very good proposal, when I have time, I will try to make a set of it, so that you will not be lonely before you become archmages. Lucien originally wanted to directly change the Ten Volumes of Landau, but many of the things involved in the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics could not be taken out for the time being, and when these two aspects developed to a certain extent, several of his students and more arcanists would be blessed.
"What?" Heidi's face turned pale, as if she felt the gaze of Splinter and the others wanting to tear her apart.
Archmages were never lonely before, but their lives were really lonely......
At this time, the smile on Lucian's face was like a devil's smile in the eyes of several students.
............
Leaving the distracted students, Lucien entered his office, flipped through the papers, and soon came across an article titled "Analysis of the Spectral Lines of Hydrogen Atoms from the 'New Alchemy'".
“...... It turned out that the 'Balmer formula' was based on theory, and then the experimental results were conformed to it. Lucien understood where his harvest came from, unlike the first empirical formula on Earth.
Just as he was about to peruse the paper, Lucian's monocle became hot again.
"Who's looking for me? It's busy......" Lucien grumbled slightly, having not been clean in the morning. (To be continued......)
