Throne of Magical Arcana

Seeing this topic, Eric sighed deeply: "It's useless, Levsky, it's useless, you're making a dead end argument, no committee accepts such a whimsical thing, it's not what we see The real world that you see is completely different, it is completely contrary to the foundation of geometry, it is undoubtedly wrong. We have been friends for so many years, I advise you not to waste any more time on this."

Due to the needs of magic to construct graphics and to realize the materialization of the world, mathematics research has been running through the history of magic exploration. Among them, the currently recognized foundation of geometry is the ancient magic empire legendary magician Mentes put forward in "Geometry" The five axioms and five postulates are called Gate's geometry, and because he is the founder of the tower organization, it is also called tower geometry.

Among them, the fifth postulate (its equivalent proposition is "through a point outside the line, there is one and only one line parallel to the known line.") is too cumbersome, not like a postulate, but like a theorem that needs to be proved. It has attracted the interest of many magicians, especially after the establishment of the Magic Council, the achievements in mathematics and science have been remarkable. More and more magicians joined the ranks, trying to find a way to prove this postulate, but they all encountered failure and could not give Convincing logical derivation.

In Eric's eyes, Levsky is one of the losers. He first assumed that "passing a point outside the straight line, at least two straight lines can be drawn parallel to the known straight line", and then proved the error of this assumption, so that To disprove the correctness of the fifth postulate of tower geometry, but the result is unexpected. Combining this assumption with the other five axioms and four postulates of portal geometry, a logically correct but inexplicable, absurd, The geometric system that violates "reality" is treated with unanimous indifference by the tower arcanists.

After Levsky submitted his thesis unhindered, he was slammed and ridiculed, and he undoubtedly failed the review.

"Eric, have you read my thesis carefully? Have you read the process of the argument carefully? Are there any mistakes in its premise, postulates, and logical derivations? Why don't you understand it?" Levsky was furious and excited trembling. Years of blows did not make him succumb. In the past ten years, even though magic research has stopped, his strength has stagnated, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed, and he lives in poverty, he has not given up on his theory.

Eric raised his hand and pressed down: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with the application of proof by contradiction and logical deduction, but, Levsky, open your eyes and look at our world, look at this table, this room , These magical structural figures, they are all different from the geometry you imagined! They are real, you say, which one should we believe? Didn’t you spend money to print a lot of copies, and plan to spread them to other arcanists? Is it? Has it been approved by them?"

"No." Levsky bowed his head dejectedly. He used to think that the members of the review committee and the tower arcanists were too rigid and conservative, so he "killed" his thesis. Young magicians with inherent theories, Speaker Douglas, Lord Hathaway, Lord Paris, etc., who are the authority in the field of mathematics and science, spread their own geometric systems, but what they can get is still the young arcanists mercilessly ridiculing and beating them. What a joke, those propositions of yours simply violate the conventional cognition, try to make two parallel lines at a point outside the straight line!

Several authorities in the field of mathematics and physics also remained silent.

"But I have perfected it." Levsky then emphasized, his tone was a little weaker than the firmness just now, but it disappeared quickly, "I should be able to pass this time, Eric, please .”

Eric sighed with sympathy and headache: "However, Levsky, you have submitted several times in the past ten years, but failed to pass the review each time, and the committee has regulations that papers must not be submitted repeatedly, so as not to Wasting the time of the committee members. Look at you, you are already in your forties, and you are still a low-level magician. Have you spent any time studying arcane arts and improving your magic power? If you continue like this, it won’t work..."

"This is the most complete argument and explanation, Eric, please, submit the thesis to Commissioner Evans, and I will concentrate on studying magic in the next few years." Levsky pleaded, full of hope.

Eric's face twitched without a smile: "Levsky, Commissioner Evans only reviews subversive papers, the kind of papers that will shake the magician's perception of the world and make his head explode, while yours is purely mathematical. Papers on this aspect, even if they violate common sense, have nothing to do with the cognitive world and will not have serious consequences, so according to the rules, they cannot be submitted to Commissioner Evans."

The cognitive world is based on the magician's in-depth understanding of the real world and the results of exploration. Mathematics is just a tool and does not affect its stability.

Before Levsky continued to insist, Eric sighed again: "Well, I will mark the words 'subversive' and 'mathematical' on the surface of your paper, so that in addition to sending it to two authoritative experts in mathematics The committee will review and send a copy to Commissioner Evans."

He understands that the review committee members have not changed much in the past few years. They have long hated Levsky's thesis. If it is not known that the new committee member Evans is responsible for reviewing subversive papers, Levsky may not be able to Such a firm request for submission.

The silver lining is at least hope!

"Thank you, Eric..." Levsky didn't know what to say.

Eric waved his hand: "Go back and wait for the results of the review. I hope your life can get back on track as soon as possible."

Levsky nodded solemnly, anxious and full of expectation. Can Commissioner Evans treat his thesis fairly?

…………

The fifteenth floor of the magic tower, in a spacious and bright room.

From time to time, both sides of the magic circle that shone with milky white light stretched out their arms, and distributed the papers one by one.

"Mathematics? Subversive? Turn to Mr. Nessica, Ms. Milina, and Mr. Evans." The metallic voice made a choice after a slight pause.

…………

In the cognitive world, starlight hangs down, elements run, and electrons surround. Lucien spreads his spiritual power and merges with starlight, elements, ice and snow in a fluctuating way, and then vibrates carefully, gradually adding " The nature of the "spirit particle".

In this regard, Lucien is very cautious, the change is extremely small, and he is worried that the mental power will lose control due to this, which will lead to the shock and destruction of the entire cognitive world.

I don't know how long it took before Lucien finished his early morning meditation, left the bedroom, had breakfast, and then went for a walk to the magic tower of the parliament headquarters as if exercising.

"Hey, Lazar, why are you smiling from ear to ear today?" As soon as he entered the Institute of Atomic Sciences, Lucien saw Lazar, who usually never arrives early, pacing back and forth in the office alone, with his mouth open. , with a bright but silly smile.

"Ah? Lucien, you came so early." Lazar was taken aback, and then said triumphantly, "I can fly now!"

As he spoke, he flew up and almost hit the light blue ceiling.

"Tsk, I've been promoted to the middle rank, so I have to invite us to celebrate." Lucien finally understood why Lazar was so excited, so he joked with a smile.

Lazar staggered down and said happily: "There must be a celebration banquet!"

Then he showed a trace of gratitude: "Thank you, Lucien, I have been following you for the most cutting-edge research in the field of elements in the past few months, which has given me a deeper understanding of elemental magic, especially the discovery of electrons has enabled me to understand the world. It has been stabilized a lot, so that we can be promoted in advance without improving our mathematical ability too much."

"Otherwise, what are we doing to explore the essence of the world?" Lucien joked, and then said in a slightly more serious tone, "But you can't ignore the improvement in mathematics and science. The further we go, the more we rely on mathematics as a tool."

Lazar nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I know exactly where my problems are. Speaking of which, after joining the Institute of Atomic Sciences, everyone's arcane level and magic power have improved rapidly. Annick, Splinter, Katrina They all told me that they already have the ability to be promoted to a full-time magician, and only need a period of mental power accumulation and potion assistance."

During the time when Lucien left, Lazar and the others continued the experiments related to the properties of cathode rays and low-temperature materials according to the pre-arranged arrangement, but there was no longer such a compact content, and they could spare time to do some research on their own.

"I'm very happy to see them grow up." Lucien said with satisfaction.

After chatting for a while, Lazar suddenly said, "Lucien, what do you think of the recent experiment by Your Excellency the Speaker?"

Sure enough, it is a hot topic recently, related to the eternal wave-particle debate, Lucien slandered, and simply replied: "If your Excellency's other theories are valid, then the 'ether medium theory' can be abandoned." Although There will still be many people who will come up with various theories to make up for this theory.

"As expected of Lucien Evans, who is sharp and subversive, and likes to blow other people's heads off." Lazar joked, expressing the "views" of many arcanists on Lucien.

"Maybe I will have a related title in the future...Well, Lazar, I'll go to the committee's office first, and then study with the teacher, and come back later to help you celebrate your promotion to the middle class." Lucien saw that it was late, Rock, Heidi and the others had already arrived. Conscience found out that they decided to go to the Arcane Review Office. Although if there are any papers, the steel golem will be delivered to their homes in the evening, but since they are at the headquarters, they should stop by to have a look. Lest the office be empty forever.

…………

As soon as he stepped into his luxurious office on the fifteenth floor, Lucien saw the steel golem coming up to greet him, and said in a metallic voice, "Master, a paper has just been delivered."

"Is there a paper?" Lucien asked curiously, never thought that there would be a paper, because all the content that needs to be reviewed by himself is subversive, and there are so many in the arcane world, "Come and see. "

After receiving the paper in the hands of the Iron Golem, Lucien saw the words subversive and mathematics, and immediately had a direction in his mind. There are not many research results that can be called subversive in terms of mathematics and science, but also meet the current level of knowledge.

"A Rigorous Proof of the Principles of Geometry and of the Theorem of Parallel Lines..."

Randomly flipped through it, and found that it was mentioned in the abstract that it was the perfect version. Lucien slightly frowned and ordered the steel golem: "Go to the Arcane Library to exchange for similar papers that have been submitted before, er, together with the evaluation opinions of the review committee members. .”
