For the next half a month, except for the people who could be seen everywhere discussing the newborn stars and the magic of divine descent, the cities of Alinge, Rentat, and Reims were peaceful and peaceful.

In this strange calm that seemed to be just an ordinary celestial phenomenon and nothing happened, the time came to the New Year of the year 820 of the sacred calendar.

After a short vacation, Lucien walked through the doors of the Atomic Research Institute while thinking about the initial formation of the "Alinge Telephone and Telegraph Company" and the promotion of alchemical items.

Before he could take off his top hat and hang it on the coat rack, Lucien heard Lazar's uncontrollable trembling voice: "Actually, it's an artificial planet?"

"The stars that lit up half of the sky that night were created and 'launched' by His Excellency Speaker Douglas!" Heidi still retained the crisp and childish voice of a little girl, but at this time it was extremely sharp, as if her heart was strongly shaken by unimaginable power.

Speaker Douglas announced the experiment on Arcane?Lucien flashed a flash of realization in his heart, and then smiled and greeted Lazar and Heidi, who were ossified, "Hi Lazar, hi, Heidi, Happy New Year, you guys are so early." ”

Since he was promoted to the Third Ring, Lazar has already had the "awareness" of a mid-level magician, and every issue of "Arcane" and "Magic" must be seen for the first time - in the past, because he couldn't understand most of the papers in the two journals "Arcane" and "Magic", he was not motivated to buy them, and occasionally bought a few copies, and most of the time he went to the Arcane Library to borrow them and read them. It is better to pay attention to "Elements", "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly", etc., but now, because of the release of these two periodicals, he has them every month and only one or two days so early, Lucien has no doubts about this.

On the contrary, it was Heidi, who loved to sleep in, that could get up so early, which made Lucien a little puzzled.

"Teacher Evans, Annick has been promoted to the rank of official mage!" Heidi subconsciously turned her head to answer Lucian's question, clenched her fist and said, "I'm stimulated! I want to get up early to meditate! I want to get up early to study!"

Although the communication satellite had not yet been launched, Lucien was unable to communicate with the distant land. However, the early days of the Alinge Telephone and Telegraph Company and its subordinate "Voice of Mysteries" consumed almost all of Lucian's leisure time. Except for a few words at the New Year's dinner, he didn't pay attention to the apprenticeship situation of these half-valued students, and he didn't even notice that Annick was on the verge of promotion.

And this also reminded Lucien that he began to think about laying the foundation and leaving it to a professional or a magician who likes to run it. Sit back and enjoy the benefits of shares. After all, the most important and fundamental thing for him is the improvement of his arcane level and magic strength. and improvements to alchemy items.

"When was he promoted?" asked Lucien, with some delight.

Heidi clenched her little fists: "Yesterday! He has been busy with private experiments during this time, and he has not even rested on the New Year's holiday, and yesterday there seems to be a breakthrough." Without waiting for the mental power to accumulate enough, I relied on the help of potions to complete the improvement! If I hadn't asked him about a problem, I wouldn't have found it!"

"Being promoted after a few months of the rite of passage is no worse than any other magical apprentice of his age. Lucien nodded in relief, it seemed that it was the electrons that were knocked out in the verification of the photoelectric effect, and Annick had made considerable progress.

Thinking of this, Lucien suddenly thought, in the future, he will not become a kindergarten for the winner of the Holm Crown Award (Silver Moon Medal, etc.)? Will it be recorded in the "History of Magic" in the future: "The small place of the 'Atomic Research Institute' has left many glorious and dazzling names, and a pioneer has emerged that will be admired by future generations"?

Although there is a paper on his own discovery of natural radiation in the past, Annick may not be able to win the Holm Crown Award this time, but it may not be impossible to continue to go this way and explore the forefront of this elemental field in the future!

Heidi punched hard again: "I won't be worse than them!"

At this time, the energetic Annick, Sprint, Reilia and others walked in, and their faces were rare.

"Congratulations, Annick, you've become an official magician. Lucien smiled and congratulated.

"What, you've been promoted to full-fledged mage?" Sprint blurted out, expecting to be the first of his apprentices.

Reilia and Katrina also looked at Annick with surprise, joy, envy and inexplicable melancholy, unable to believe that Annick, the most taciturn, the most nonexistent of the people, would become an official magician so quickly.

Being looked at by everyone, Annick's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he said shyly and shyly: "Yesterday, the experiment progressed, and the meditation environment changed, so I took the potion to try to build a ring of magic, and I didn't expect it to succeed once." ”

Never before had he received such a stare, Annick was so uncomfortable that he almost buried his face in the ground.

"Is the verification electronic?" asked Lucien with satisfaction.

Annick nodded, "Yes." ”

"There's a glimmer of hope for a Holm crown award. Lucien said half-jokingly.

Violent gasps came from Heidi, Reilia, Katrina, and even Lazar, and when you think about it, it seems that there may be such a glimmer of hope!

Yesterday's apprentice was about to receive the Holm Crown Award, which was more than legendary, and even Lucien, who had received the highest honor before the age of nineteen, had already become an official magician for almost a year.

Hearing the gasping sound and exclamation, Annick became more and more uncomfortable, and he shook his head: "What you can't get, this can only prove that the electrons come from the metal, but not the inside of the metal atoms, for example, maybe they absorbed free electrons when the atoms combined?"

As he spoke, he said as if to himself: "And even if I hope to get it, I don't want to take it." ”

"For what?" Lucien asked curiously, and the same was true for the others, who didn't want to win the Holm Crown Award?

Annick said embarrassedly: "I don't like to be noticed by others, so I quietly learn, experiment, explore, and improve." Isn't it nice?"

"If you win a prize one day and you refuse to win it, you're going to get more attention, which is unprecedented. Lucien smiled and dispelled Annick's thoughts.

"Yes to ...... too," Annick snapped into his senses.

At this time, Lazar came back to his senses, held up the "Arcane" journal in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, do you remember the star that was destroyed by the Divine Descent Technique just after it was born more than half a month ago?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Splinter's attention was quickly diverted, and he was so impressed that night!

Reilia and Katrina also looked over with curiosity on their faces. The bright stars are still deeply engraved in their minds.

Annick, who had escaped his gaze, quietly breathed a sigh of relief. His face returned, and he looked at Lazar with the same expression.

In Alinge, if any magician who doesn't know the inside story of the Dao says that he is not shocked and curious about the nascent planet, it must be a lie.

When Lazar was ready to show off the big news and vent his shock, adoration, and admiration. Heidi snapped the lead: "That star was created and launched by His Excellency the Speaker!"

"What?!"

"It can't be!"

"Man-made?"

Different exclamations express the same incredibleness.

"Really! The first paper in this issue of Arcane is His Excellency the Speaker's "A Summary of Simulating the Orbital System of Celestial Bodies with Artificial Planets"!" Lazar waved the Arcane in his hand, not to be outdone. "There are budget data. There is actual data, there is a comparison between the two, and there is a description of the trajectory. Absolutely true!"

People who have studied Douglas's theoretical system and achieved certain achievements, as long as they have the idea of an artificial planet, it is not difficult to use past data to build the entire model, so Douglas did not hide this experiment, and it will not take long to understand what can be understood, and what cannot be understood will not be understood.

Of course, he appropriately concealed the specific operation situation, and Lucian's plan was only put forward in a small discussion, so as not to give more inspiration to the enemy.

"W-is this still human?" Reyria murmured. The stars in the sky represent the fate of all intelligent creatures for magicians who are good at astrology, and "fate" can be artificially created?

Sprint, Annick, and Katrina were all stunned, and their strength and knowledge had grown by leaps and bounds during this time, and their pride was shattered by this shocking achievement.

Lazar, on the other hand, noticed suspiciously, that Lucian had been smiling and not saying a word, and was not surprised, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration: "Lucian, you won't also participate in this experiment, will you?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on Lucian's face.

"A little advice was provided. Lucien smiled and nodded, as long as he didn't say who the initiator was, there was nothing to hide, anyway, the church's attention would inevitably be on who completed the experiment.

Lazar sighed twice: "I don't know what the road is for, but I don't think it's strange to hear that you are involved." ”

Heidi, who was on the side, hurriedly flipped through the papers, and unsurprisingly saw Douglas's words at the back of the closest.

She read it out crisply: "Thank you to Fernando, Begna, Lucian, Altil, Ruciana, Norman for their help in this experiment...... The teacher was really involved, and it was ......"

They once again have a deep understanding of Lucian's "inhuman" nature.

"I'll see what other papers are on this issue of Arcane. Lucien reached out for the journal, his one was supposed to be in the office of the Arcane Review Committee.

Casually scanning the topic, Lucien suddenly saw an article by Altier at the end of the day—a discussion that does not receive citation points: "Does "Aether" Really Exist?"

Taking a light breath, Lucien silently read the short article, which was like a battle manifesto:

“...... The artificial planet experiment has strongly proved His Excellency Speaker's theoretical system, and the light-speed experiment based on this system has fully confirmed that 'ether' does not exist. ”

“...... I'm offering a bounty of 50,000 Arcane Points for other theoretical explanations for this experiment, including the theoretical explanation of the Aether!"

"Arcanists who question this experiment and believe in the existence of the ether, please use your wisdom and imagination!"

Lazar, who was twisting his head to read the article, suddenly let out a cheer: "That's how it should be, it's time for those guys who believe in the fluctuation theory to face up to their mistakes!"

He and elemental mages like Roque have always believed in particle theory.

Hearing Lazar's words, Lucien seemed to have a premonition of a great controversy. (To be continued......)
