Chapter Forty-Six: The Dusty Time (The First Change)
At the beginning of July 825, the temperature burned like a fire.
On the thirty-first floor of the Alinge Magic Tower, Honoré, who successfully passed the assessment and entered the Holt Academy of Magic, looked at the Sky Radio Station in District 1 with great interest with several classmates, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the radio is broadcast live at night, and the school will be closed at six o'clock in the evening, so I can't stay, otherwise I can find Miss Lark and Miss Nightingale to sign autographs, their voices are so good, they must be very beautiful." ”
The reason why the rest of the 31st floor of the Alinge Magic Tower was used as the teaching area of the Holt School of Magic was because the tower contained various high-level laboratories that could be used directly without the need to spend materials to rebuild, while the students' accommodation was elsewhere in the city.
"You can apply for a night magic experiment. Clark, another cadet, said with a smile.
Honoré said with a sad face: "It's only been two months since I started studying, and many arcane and magic courses are still laying the foundation, so how can I apply for the content of night magic experiments." ”
The Holt Academy of Magic starts at the beginning of May, with self-selected courses, two to five years of graduation, New Year's leave, and no summer break.
"Yes, Lord Evans's matrix mechanics, I am still in a state of confusion, I have mastered the matrix, and I have also mastered how to calculate, but I don't understand what is like this, why what is so effective, I don't understand at all, it's like doing a purely mathematical work, and if I don't understand the arcane meaning behind it, the whole theory is incomprehensible to me, difficult to master, and often dizzy. Clark said bitterly, matrix mechanics are too cold to be approached.
Honoré shook his head. Trying to defuse this emotion with a joke: "Is it like what Lord Evans said, every word, every calculation, you understand, but when you put it together, you don't understand anything." ”
"That's pretty much the case, and so is the special theory of relativity, where I can understand both the assumptions and the logical derivation, but I'm at a loss as to the specific space-time relationships and how to apply them to interpret magic. Clark sighed. As for general relativity. There is only a general introduction, and there is no specific course - it is said that in the entire Magic Council, there are no more than ten people who can initially master the general theory of relativity, and I am afraid that all the teachers in the academy will not be able to handle this course.
Honoré spread his hands. Just about to speak. Suddenly, I found that the teacher of the "Academic Affairs Office" of the college stood there like a statue after coming out of the magic elevator. Holding an Arcane journal in his hand.
"Ernesto?" Honoré greeted strangely.
With a snap, the "Arcane" in Ernesto's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Honoré and Clark and the others with fear in his eyes: "No class?"
"Yes. This week's course is over, Mr. Ernesto, is this the Arcane?" asked Honoré curiously.
There is a rule in the Holt School of Magic that no matter whether you can read "Arcane", "Magic" and "Nature" or not, you must read it to understand the latest and most cutting-edge arcane and magical research directions, so as not to be abandoned by the times, and these three journals are ordered by the academy and distributed free of charge.
Ernesto looked at the "Arcane" on the ground like looking at the devil, and said hesitantly: "It's this issue of "Arcane", but don't believe the content of the above yet, it's best to verify it yourself." ”
"Subversive theories, experiments?" Honoré also stared at the Arcane on the ground with wide eyes, and he was deeply impressed by the headshot frenzy of the light quantum.
"Experiments on Electron Diffraction with Single Crystals......" Clark read out the title of the page that Arcane had spread out, his face full of confusion, "How can electrons, diffraction, and these two things be connected?"
Due to the secret preparations for exploring the necromantic realm, Lucian's electron diffraction experiments were postponed for another two months before being submitted to the Arcane Review Board after departure.
Honoré couldn't restrain himself from picking up the Arcane, muttering to himself, "Clark, remember the previous issue of Arcane?
"Mr. Dieppe's Papers......" Clarke's expression was unusually distorted as if he had thought of some terrible monster.
Honoré read the paper greedily and nervously and fearfully, saw the preparation of the materials for the experiment, saw the specific experimental process, and saw the most difficult experimental pattern, the familiar and classic diffraction pattern!
"Actually, it's true, electrons are really fluctuating......" Honoré's eyes seemed to lose focus, and he subconsciously said what he felt in his heart.
Fortunately, there was Lucian's speech and examples to break through the fog of thinking, which made him initially accept that electrons are unknown things that have not really been explored clearly, and blurted out that electrons have fluctuations, not electrons are waves, so that there is no disorder in the view of the world, and doubts the objectivity and existence of the real world.
Clark shook his head violently: "It must be experimentally verified, it must be experimentally verified!"
Ernesto also nodded vigorously, and led a few students to the High Magic Laboratory to prepare experimental materials according to Lord Evans's method.
I don't know how long it was, until the dreamy image appeared in their eyes, Ernesto sat down in his chair and rubbed his head vigorously, looking very pained.
This startled Honoré, who suspected that Ernesto's head would explode and sprinkle red and white all over the place.
Fortunately, Ernesto gradually returned to normal, and looked at the world world in front of him incomprehensibly: "It is also particle-like and fluctuating, but what about the real world? I don't think I understand what I was familiar with before." ”
Honoré was afraid that he would continue to struggle, so he quickly changed the subject: "There is a joint paper by Lord Evans and several students in Arcane, and the paper on matrix mechanics is reprocessed with the classical mathematical tools of the past, which seems to be much more refreshing and simple. ”
"No matter how refreshing and concise it is, it can't be understood, it can't be mastered, and if you don't figure out the arcane meaning behind these mathematical calculations, it's still like a 'matrix maze' that can't be walked out of. Clark looked at the journal in his hand, his brow furrowed deeply.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and Honoré also remembered the strange properties of electronics. It not only shows indisputable particles, but also presents a familiar and shocking diffraction pattern, and according to Dieppe's paper, not only electrons should be like this, but also protons and neutrons, and the elements, matter, and world world composed of them also have dual properties.
Looking at the alchemy platform, chairs, floor tiles, and magic crystal lamps that could be touched in front of him, Honoré also shook his head: "I don't know the real world world anymore......
Clark choked out a sentence: "I have to change the arcane textbook again." ”
Honoré suddenly smiled, remembering the scene he encountered in April during the "Unified Entrance Examination for the Higher School of Magic", and the new alchemy textbook that was only decided in the morning. By noon, the exam had to be changed. Now that it's only been two months in class, the textbook has to change:
"It's a crazy time, and it's a beautiful time......
In the laboratory of his own magic tower, Dieppe also looked at the diffraction pattern in disbelief. Make the same exclamation.
The moment the experiment is completed. He felt "the feedback of the real world". Let his own cognition of the world be improved, but he was very puzzled and said: "Why is there much less feedback than expected? Could it be that His Excellency Evans, who completed the diffraction experiment, accounted for the vast majority?"
That's all it can say!
What he didn't know was that Lucien was trying to reverse the change in the world of cognition. Rushing to carry out experiments and not completing theoretical derivation at all will leave him with a little feedback.
............
In the gray background, the red coat of Rhine is very eye-catching, but Lucien is not careless, the Necromantic Temple is full of dangers, and Rhine has always been mysterious.
"I almost made a move just now, but I was lucky to feel the source of my blood remaining in your body. Rhine said with a faint smile, his demeanor elegant, not like he was in a dangerous area deep in the necromancy, but like he was about to go to a concert.
Lucien also confirmed the identity of Rhine from the breath, the origin of the blood, and the secret magic means, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Rhine, why are you here?
Rhine shook his head: "At that time, Salde and Pope Benedict II fell in a big battle, but there were mysterious fragments in the body that escaped and hid in the necromantic realm. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the blood stain on his chest: "But in the world realm of the black gate and the gray hall, I lost the clue, and encountered a transparent and illusory monster, which was seriously injured, and had to borrow his strength to temporarily retreat. ”
"What is the strength level of the monster that has not been destroyed?" Lucian asked in surprise, the Rhine when he borrowed the power of the silver moon was equivalent to the peak of the legend, and the monster did not die, but was temporarily repulsed.
Rhine still had the same relaxed smile: "I'm also very strange, after the trapped incident in the necromantic realm, my strength has improved, reaching the level of the third order of the legend, when fighting with it, it only showed a level close to the peak of the legend, it can seriously injure me, but it can't kill me, but after I borrowed the strength of the ancestor, its strength suddenly skyrocketed, reaching the true peak of the legend, so it was only temporarily repulsed." ”
"Is it deliberately luring you to use Etna's power?" Lucien analyzed, Rhine's borrowing of the power of the silver moon is like "Ivan's" divine magic, with a long buffer.
Rhine smiled: "It's very possible, but it's not so simple to kill a blood prince, how did you get here?"
Lucien brought up the previous incident, and by the way, he also mentioned the remnants of the magic circle pattern and the gray fragment with the word "devil" written on it.
Rhine muttered for a moment: "Let's go and see, maybe there are other discoveries." ”
So he reopened the black door where Lucien entered, but the gray hall behind him had already found a change, and what appeared in the eyes of the two of them was a gray secret room, which seemed to be sealed with time, everything was fresh and real, but with the opening of the door, time suddenly flowed, and paper, tables, utensils, etc. quickly decayed.
Unlike the Grey Hall, this chamber has only two black doors.
"Alchemy Circle, is this a remnant of the magic laboratory?" Lucien was slightly behind Rhine, and the desire and curiosity to explore rose in his heart.
In the rotten mud, two things are still well preserved, a broken notebook specially processed by magic, and a puppet's arm with strange patterns drawn.
Rhein took the puppet's arm and examined it closely, and Lucien opened the notebook with magic, and the pale gray torn pages made a crunch sound and kept flipping away.
In front of it are some alchemy experiments, which may be very precious to ancient magicians, but for the arcanists of the current council, they are all things that have been simplified and improved many times, and they are not worth mentioning, but the strange refining method of a "substitute puppet" in the middle has made Lucian quite interested, and it is firmly remembered in the soul library.
Seeing that the notebook was about to be finished, and there was no clue to the current environment, suddenly, two lines of dark gray text came into his eyes in a way that Lucien did not have time to react:
"A ghost, an unimaginable ghost, hovering here!"
"Several companions are missing, and maybe it's my turn next. (To be continued......)
