After a short round of applause, Douglas smiled: "Lucian, in the past month, many arcanists here, including me, have confirmed the existence of cathode rays, and there are no problems with your experiment just now, so we can preliminarily conclude that this is a particle smaller than an atom, and as the discoverer, you have the right to name it." ”

Although the paper on cathode rays was only published in this issue of Arcane, the presence of either the Supreme Council or the high-level arcanists had enough channels to submit the paper on Lucien and after passing the review, it was known that a new ray had been discovered, and that they could experiment with its properties earlier than other arcanists and try to apply it to their own magical improvements.

And with so many Grand Arcanists and High-level Arcanists watching, as long as there is any cheating and falsification in Lucian's experiment, it will be discovered, so the results of the experiment are real and credible.

"It's negatively charged, and the amount of charge is very small, so it's called electrons. Lucien didn't change the name.

"Yes, the name of the electron is very good, it will be our first step into the microscopic world, and it will be an important step forward for us to get closer to reality. ”

Speaking to the advanced arcanists, Douglas tried to minimize the psychological effects of the collapse of the atomistic foundation and turn it into a glorious victory for the arcane, "However, we must not be proud of this, but we must calm down and think about the flow of electrons for what gas discharges, what are the unique properties of the electron, what is the precise mass and charge, does it have anything to do with the atom, what is the internal structure of the atom, can the electron be separated...... These questions are waiting to be explored slowly. ”

Sure enough, it was a Douglas-style speech, and Lucian's head was swollen as he listened. Finally understood why his teacher Fernando would give him the nickname "100,000 for what is Lu", which is really appropriate, and he is ashamed of himself - Lucien has already learned from Fernando's mouth that during the miracle experiment, they were "watching" in the half-dimensional space upstairs and heard their answer of "100,000 for what is Lu".

With a slight turn of his head, Lucian's gaze collided with Fernando's, and he pursed his mouth to show that it was good to get used to it.

At this time, Oliver interjected with a smile: "Your Excellency the Speaker." Leave the time to Evans. He's the hero today. ”

When Douglas heard this, he laughed and said, "I'm too excited, so let the young man talk about it." ”

"Evans, aren't you going to share with us your experience of arcane art. What can be done without the constraints of current arcane theory. Don't worry about the collapse of the cognitive world. Always come up with subversive ideas. Florence is a staunch atomist, and I'm going to have to take time to slowly change her perspective, so I'm curious about how you think. No, it's not forced, everyone has their own secrets, and I also have things that I don't want to share with others. Oliver smiled gently, neither condescending nor conservative.

All the Arcanists, including Roland, expressed great interest in Oliver's question, and Fernando became serious to hear what his students were thinking, but Hathaway continued to maintain her usual cold and quiet attitude.

Lucien stood in front of the mirrored passageway, smiling at the Grand Arcanists, Legendary Magicians, and High-level Arcanists, calmly and without a little timidity, and said: "In this regard, I have a personal philosophical point of view, which I hope can bring some inspiration to Your Excellency and gentlemen. ”

"It seems to me that truths must be distinguished, and I divide them into absolute and relative truths. ”

"Absolute truth is the essence and law of objective existence in the world, which does not change due to the proposal of any new theory, that is, the truth we seek. ”

However, limited by our level of knowledge, magical strength, way of thinking, degree of exploration, physical soul, and other conditions, we can only approach the absolute truth and obtain the relative truth under certain conditions, that is, the relative truth is an approximation of the absolute truth within a certain range, and the problems we encounter can be solved under that condition, and once we exceed this range, the relative truth will become wrong. ”

The smiling Oliver smile slowly disappeared, his expression was serious and focused, Fernando's red eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect Lucian's thoughts to be so special, Douglas's tall body leaned back slightly, subconsciously looking for a comfortable sitting position, as if he was caught in thought, Hathaway held his chin with his right hand, and rubbed silently, just like Natasha's habitual movements.

The other arcanists, including Lavendi, Roland, and others, did not expect Lucien to have such a mature mind, and it was not at all like what he thought before, relying on the vigor, sharpness, and outstanding talent of young people to rampage in the arcane realm.

"So many of the theories that we have overturned and subverted are not meaningless, they are relative truths under certain conditions, but with the development of arcane arts, the scope of our exploration has exceeded the conditions for their establishment, so they appear to be wrong, absurd, and subverted. ”

"For example, in the theory of atomism, in ordinary alchemical reactions and potions, as far as we have observed so far, the atom is indeed the most basic matter, and it is the relative truth under this condition. ”

"For example, in the days of the ancient Magic Empires, why did their theories seem wrong to us today, but they were still able to harness their spirits, perform magic, and even become legendary magicians? ”

"As we explore, we are getting closer and closer to the truth of the world, the scope of truth needs to be applied is getting wider and wider, and the relative truth obtained is becoming more and more close to the absolute truth, but the world is vast, and we are so small in comparison, it is conceivable that for a long, long time, we will not be able to obtain the absolute truth, but can only grasp the relative truth that is more and more close to it, and it will become wrong at any time because the conditions have expanded and the scope has become broader. ”

Therefore, we should always hold the view that everything in our hands is only relative truth for the time being, and contains a part of the absolute truth but is not complete, even if we believe in it, use it, and build a cognitive world on this basis, it should be limited to certain conditions. In this way, it is better to face disruptive ideas. ”

Taking the opportunity of this speech, Lucien is also sorting out and consolidating his philosophical ideas. Lay the groundwork for all kinds of weird things you might face in the future, and try to subtly change the views of magicians.

However, Lucien also understands that it is very difficult to change once the three views are established, and the same is true for magicians' cognitive world, which cannot be changed by a philosophical speech. If a person can surrender his subconscious mind and completely control his body and mind, in earthly parlance, he will belong to the category of "holy" and "Buddha".

Therefore, in the future, there will definitely be magicians who will get headshots or never be promoted again because of the collapse of the cognitive world, and there will definitely be magicians who will refute, argue, hate, and assassinate each other because of theoretical conflicts. There are certainly magicians who know the philosophical views of the Tao but cannot use them to guide their own arcane and magical studies. Lucien only wants to minimize this.

After the presentation, there was a brief silence in the small conference room.

After a while, Douglas was the first to applaud: "Very good philosophical speculation, explaining the Magic Empire to the Council from another perspective. and the development of arcane theory at various stages of the council. We already have a part of the truth. But we should not blindly believe in it, but should ask a few more questions. Lucian, you're more mature than I thought. It's not just about age, it's here. ”

He pointed to his head, "I'm completely relieved that you've become a member of the audit committee." ”

It can be seen that he is very fond of philosophy.

The expression of absolute truth and relative truth has made many high-level arcanists think, but they also have a certain degree of doubt about this, many theories and laws of the current arcane system are obviously valid wherever they are placed, and they are all laws that explore the world, summarize from phenomena, and deduce other phenomena through laws and have been confirmed.

After a short discussion, the high-level arcanists left one after another, and they had to seize the time to explain to their students and friends the contradiction between the periodic law and the atomic theory, and gradually spread it so that the majority of magicians could slowly change their positions.

"Lucian, well, when your paper is officially published, I will gather high-level officials to discuss the issue of the Holm Crown Award. Morris said to Lucien almost word by word, his expression was extremely complicated, and there was a deep "hatred" under the relief.

"I have no opinion. Lucien couldn't bear to provoke him any more.

Morris nodded heavily, and when he saw that Lavendi had already walked out of the small conference room, he "smiled" and said: "Actually, the miracle experiment has enough possibilities to help you get the Immortal Throne Award, it seems that there is no need to take another ring, anyway, there are electrons, hehe, I'm kidding, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

He spotted the Storm Lord approaching and quickly turned to leave.

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

A few days later, inside Chloe's magic tower.

A gas servant was holding a letter to hand it to its master, but it only found a message left by his master: "I followed the teacher to conduct an experiment, and if there is a letter, I will record the key words and put them separately." ”

So, the gas servant opened the envelope, read the beginning, and summarized the key words: "...... Chloe, it's hard for you to believe it, right? My teacher Roland discovered the contradiction between the periodic law of the elements and the atomism, and predicted that there are particles smaller than atoms, and this is very contradictory to your insistence, that atoms are probably not the basis of matter! In fact, matter is only an illusion of people, and energy is the essence of everything!"

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

High-level meeting of Heidler City, Pale Hand Headquarters.

"Recently, Alinge, the Elemental Will HQ, and a few other places have been secretly spreading problematic claims about atomic theory, and pointing out a number of loopholes. Rogerio tapped lightly on the table, "It's very weird. ”

Pesol sneered, "What's so weird? it's clear that there are experimental results that are not good for atomism, so the council is slowly changing the Arcanist's point of view, just like we used to do." ”

If you see a lot of things, it will be easy to guess.

"Quite possibly. It's a pity that I don't know what the experiment is, otherwise I would have been able to secretly give the elemental will a hard blow. An old man dressed in the robes of the Ancient Magic Empire said grimly.

Felipe, who was sitting quietly in a corner, raised his head, gave him a cold look, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Sosa, do you think that you can hide from the council at this time and not make the council angry?

Under the strong suppression of the parliamentary faction, at least in Alinge, the struggle within the Magical Council is still at a relatively rational level.

"If their experiments are known to us, it's their own fault. Sosa snorted.

Since it was not clear what the experiment was, the meeting ended early after the task of exploration was assigned.

After returning to his magic tower, Felipe bluntly instructed the servants: "Bring the latest papers of Lucien Evans." ”

When the paper was found, Felipe re-read it, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn he became: "It's all about cathode rays...... Is the particle stream negatively charged?"

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

Holm Glorious Cathedral.

A secret piece of information was sent to the ashram where the cardinals were staying. (To be continued......)
