Chapter 257: Cathode Rays

When Giaichi came to Magni's side, Magni said, "I should ask Queenie to come and have a look today, so that she can know that she has worked hard, and although her magical strength has increased a lot over the years, she has not achieved any outstanding results, and she has never won a Tirahom Medal." ”

Magni was a little angry, but it was a little unfair to Queenie, the selection of the four awards was very strict, and if it was not a breakthrough achievement, it would not win this award, and there were legendary mages on the top, and most of the breakthrough results were made by legendary mages.

This world has always grown up under the guidance of some geniuses.

Queenie is good at the sub-category of ancient magic scripts, and the competition for awards is naturally at a disadvantage.

Modern magic is all about finding new and breakthroughs, not looking for answers in old papers, after all, I have never heard of a Nobel Prize in archaeology.

"What have Queenie been doing lately? I've been back for quite some time, and I haven't seen her. ”

"The dwarves have dug up an ancient relic in the Thunder Mountains, which contains a well-preserved magic script, and she is invited to decipher and study it, and she will not be able to return until at least the end of the year. Although ancient magic is obscure and not conducive to learning, there are still some things that we can learn and many things that we still can't explain. ”

Kaichi nodded approvingly, even if it is a legendary mage, the explanation of some magic is based on classical philosophical theories, and does not belong to the category of modern magic. However, many ancient magical theories are wrong and omission, cannot be confirmed by experiments, and are even falsified by facts, full of contradictions.

"Your Excellency, I am preparing to apply to the Council for the establishment of a 'Thermal Energy Research Institute' for the study of molecular motion and thermal energy, and I hope you can recommend it for me. ”

Kaichi said as he rubbed his hands together as he pulled out a stack of bound applications and handed them to Magni.

"Thermal energy... "Magni took the application, he knew every word he said, but when combined, he didn't quite understand what the so-called institute was.

Gibos said on the side: "With the level of heat and atoms of Master Jiayi, I believe that this so-called research institute will definitely bear fruit. ”

Although he didn't know anything, as the great steward of the Elemental School and the editor-in-chief of Elemental magazine, he didn't prevent him from complimenting him.

When Jia Yi heard him say this, he hurriedly said, "Since Master Gibos is also optimistic about this thermal energy research institute, why don't you come and fund us together, I believe you will not be disappointed." ”

He secretly pouted Gibbos, and Gibbos was also a little moved, but Magni interrupted: "Just an application like yours, and you want to apply to your so-called research institute, do you think the council's review committee can approve it?"

Jia Yi smiled wryly, and was also a little embarrassed: "This, isn't there still a recommendation from a few of your bigwigs, I believe the audit committee will definitely consider it carefully." ”

"So, are you cheating on funds in our name? St. Regis will sign a recommendation for you, I can understand it, but I didn't expect even Magnay to sign for you. ”

"Of course not, I am indeed going to do a series of system experiments, if a single application is too troublesome, affecting efficiency. Such a series of experiments will only be easier with the help of the Parliament. ”

The resources at the hands of the council are not something that ordinary people can imagine, and many precious materials cannot be purchased in the market, but they can be applied for in the council, which is one of the reasons why he applied for this institute.

"If it's really a fraud of funds, Your Excellency Magnay and Regis will not sign for me. "Ranwen.com

Magni looked at Jia Yi with a little distrust in his eyes, but still nodded: "I heard Magnay say that your idea is indeed very good, but do you have any ideas to confirm it?"

"Well, isn't my research institute not yet built, and I'm going to start with the movement of atoms. First of all, I wanted to use this to determine the size of molecules, but now there are several methods for measuring the size of molecules through experiments, but all of them are about gases, after all, the theory of molecular kinetics was originally based on gases, and there is no way to measure the molecular size of liquids and solids. I'd like to start with that. ”

"That's a very new idea, and I thought you'd start with cathode rays. Magni said.

"Cathode rays?"

"Yes, cathode rays, you can take a look at this first. Magni said and took out a paper and presented it to Kaichi, "This is Herus's paper, it has not been published yet, and it was finally given to me for review." ”

The vast majority of papers do not need to be reviewed by the Legendary Mage, only need to be reviewed and approved by the Thesis Review Committee, and only some papers with relatively large controversies or more important achievements will be handed over to the Legendary Mage for review, or directly to the Legendary Mage for review.

"Is this appropriate?" said Kaichi, but he didn't hesitate to take the paper, and by the way, he received a white eye from Master Magni.

"Cathode rays... When the air in the glass tube with two electrodes is pumped to a very thin level, a voltage of several thousand volts is added between the two electrodes, and a green glow flashes on the glass wall opposite the cathode, which is a sign of the cathode rays, not the rays themselves. Hey, he also invented a new device that can reduce the energy consumption of the cathode heater, the ray gun, the deflection system, the tube shell and the phosphor screen, there are a lot of functional parts, the Herus tube..."

Jia Yi thought in his heart,This thing is not much different from the picture tube of the TV,At least the corresponding functional parts are still almost there,Maybe it won't be long before a TV will appear.。

And this cathode ray should be electrons.

"Yes, this kind of cathode ray is more difficult to observe, and Herus thinks that it is a new particle that makes the glass tube glow, but what kind of particle is not yet determined, and if it is really a particle, what kind of substance should it correspond to? Or should there be no corresponding substance? If this is a new particle, it shows that there is a kind of particle that we have not found in addition to the atoms that make up matter, and the atomic theory still has a lot of flaws. ”

Magni argues that this particle and the atom should be a kind of particle, but it may not be the particle that makes up matter, but an auxiliary particle, or perhaps the cause of electricity. If this is the case, then the original atomic composition of the substance is wrong, and it should be the composition of the atom and the cathode ray particles.

Kaichi continued to look down, and could see that there were different members of the review committee who gave comments, and one of them said: "In the early stage of research, we can't simply think that this kind of ray is a stream of particles, which is undoubtedly arbitrary, if this is a particle, then how the atoms should make up matter, this may just be a flow of energy, and electrical energy is also a kind of energy." The findings of the paper are indeed significant, but the conclusions about such rays are arbitrary. ”

Looking at the signature, it is an authority on elementalism, mathematics and physics, and a fourth-level arcanist, Julius PlΓΌck.

Let's look at the comments of William Crook, another expert on electromagnetism on the jury, editor of Electromagnetism magazine, an authority on mathematics and physics, and a fifth-level arcanist: "There is no doubt that this ray should be a particle, and he shows obvious particle characteristics, and the existing atomic theory will be more perfect under this new ray particle, which is a breakthrough discovery, which is of great significance to electrical energy and the nature of the atom." ”

There is also a judge who didn't pay attention to the name of the judge, and his views are similar to that of William Crook.

The three judges evaluated the importance of the paper similarly, but there was a dispute about the nature of the cathode rays, and this controversy left the paper in the hands of Magni, an authority on elementology, for final review.

"Why can't we think of this particle as something more fundamental, perhaps more fundamental than an atom?"

Kaichi suddenly spoke, and for a moment the whole area fell silent, as if he had been hit by a silence technique.
