Chapter 172: A Mentor and a Teacher Are Not the Same
Cohen Snape's paper on the energy conversion rate of the Burning Magic Pattern Group was sent to the most authoritative journal of Engineering and Mechanics in the Principality of Gilman through the hands of Ackerman of the Illia School of Magic, with Cohen Snape as the first author, Iris as the second author, and Ackerman as the corresponding author.
At the same time, Ackerman and Iris immediately set off to go to Gilman in person.
There will inevitably be a lot of discussion and questioning about such an important paper, and the poor communication efficiency of this world makes it impossible for the two sides to communicate through letters, so I am afraid that a result will not be discussed for a year, which is one of the reasons why Colin wants the college to be the corresponding author, and he does not want to go to Gilman at this important time.
Engineering & Mechanics is the authoritative journal of Magical Engineering, and Brighton's Magical Engineering, and is known as the two most authoritative engineering journals on the continent.
The reason why he did not choose Cohen Snape's hometown journal is that Ackerman has some connections in Gilman and has some friendship with Mr. Salmer, the editor-in-chief of Engineering and Mechanics, on the other hand, it is also the selfish motives of the Academy.
……
……
Duchy of Brighton, Victor City.
Cambrigi Higher School of Magic.
Ebbs used to lie down on his beloved bamboo chair for half an hour after lunch.
As the top expert in the entire continent, even in Cambriji, the highest academy where "high-level magicians are everywhere, and there are as many great magicians as dogs", he also has a very high status.
Today, however, as soon as he lay down, the office door was pushed open.
Ebus frowned and got up, just about to have a seizure, and when he saw the two people in front of him, he could only sigh slightly.
"Lord Duke, in your capacity, you have to talk about some courtesy, and Your Excellency Stephen, if there is anything you can call me to your office, why bother to go there yourself."
Archduke Schinak, head of the Principality of Brighton, and Samp Stephen, the current headmaster of Cambrig.
The combination of the two would have trembled at the sight of anyone, but Ebbs still got up slowly and slowly walked to his private bar.
"I'm sorry, my assistant took a leave of absence today, and my coffee making skills have never been very good......"
"Your Excellency Ebs, the coffee will be free of charge." Grand Duke Shinak sat down with a frown, and sighed, "I don't want to come to the academy to meet you in this way, Cambrig's rule that carriages are not allowed to pass is really irritating.
Although Shinak is the head of a country, in a country like Brighton, it is difficult to concentrate power in the hands of one person, not only because he joined the Blue Alliance, the status of the magician group is extremely high, and even the domestic aristocratic group may not all listen to him.
Cambrighi's history, which can even be traced back to the late classical period, will in some sense be longer than Brighton's existence, and as Archduke, he has no privileges within the Academy.
"Okay." Ebbs obviously didn't intend to really pour them coffee, and then turned back to the bamboo chair, looked at the two people who were already seated, and said, "Lord Duke, Lord Stephen, are you two coming to me at this time, is there anything wrong?" ”
Stephen is a smiling old man with black-rimmed glasses and a black-bottomed gold robe embroidered with Cambrig's school crest embroidered on the hem.
"Your Excellency Ebus, perhaps you should take a look at this first."
As he spoke, Stephen handed over a magazine in his hand.
White whisker paper, one foot long and half a foot wide, about the same thickness as an ordinary book.
One look at it is an academic journal.
The top journals and magazines use the most expensive white whisker paper, which can ensure the quality and write the maximum number of words with the smallest length, but in doing so, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the cost, making the price of academic journals unimaginable to ordinary people.
Even a group of magicians, even an academy like Cambrighi, can't order every journal in large quantities.
Only selectively decide how much to buy.
"Engineering & Machinery?"
Ebbs glanced at the cover and said with a smile: "If you want to ask about this, shouldn't you go to the Saxon Excellency?" He's the head of engineering. ”
"Although it's an engineering journal, there's a paper related to magic patterns in it."
"Okay."
Ebbs flipped through it and quickly found the paper.
"Burning Demon Pattern Group Energy Conversion Rate?" He glanced at it casually a few times, and finally showed a look of surprise: "1.5%? ”
"Yes, that's not the most important thing, please take a look at the signature."
"Cohen Snape......" Ebbs paused for a moment, then looked up at the two of them.
"That's right."
Grand Duke Shinak nodded slowly: "If I remember correctly, this is the one who graduated from the Demon Pattern Department and the academy can't keep it, I still have to remember that you asked me to write a letter of retention, but it didn't work." ”
Unlike the situation in ordinary Western Continent countries, the relationship between the nobles and the magician group in Brighton will be better, and the main reason is that both sides have the will to break away from the Blue Alliance.
Therefore, the personal relationship between Archduke and Stephen and Ebbs and others is not bad.
"Cohen Snape, it's my student......" Ebs sighed, "wait a minute, let me finish reading this paper......"
After Ebbs finished speaking, he ignored the two and began to read the paper carefully.
Even with his knowledge, it is impossible to make an assessment immediately in a short period of time, without experiments and calculations.
But the general content can still be judged, and the fact that this paper was published in "Engineering and Machinery" shows that it has been reviewed by many experts, and there will be basically no problems.
Twenty minutes or so.
"Clear thinking, rigorous logic, no irrelevant nonsense, always like to use assertive sentences, this is indeed his style." "This kid has improved again, with an energy conversion rate of 1.5 percent," Ebbs exclaimed...... The next Albert Medal is no suspense....... ”
"Can you get him back?" Shinak asked, "After all, he graduated from Cambrighi, and you and Ovitel are still his teachers, so don't you have no weight in talking?" ”
Compared with Banner and the Ilia Academy of Magic, one or two Albert medals are not enough to be taken into account by the Duchy of Brighton, and there are more than a dozen winners of Cambrighi, but a magician who has just graduated and is only in his 20s can receive such an honor, and his future achievements can be seen.
Especially when Brighton is trying his best to break away from the Blue Alliance, such a national talent can't give up easily.
The original letter was completely commissioned by Cambrig, in fact, he did not know or understand Cohen Snape, but after learning the news at this time, he was the person who advocated snatching Snape back.
After all, once he breaks away from the alliance, the biggest beneficiary is him, the Grand Duke of Brighton.
"Lord Duke, I hope you understand."
Ebbs frowned: "Cohen Snape is my student, but not my disciple, I am only his 'mentor', not 'teacher'...... The difference is huge. ”
