Throne of Magical Arcana

"Naturally?" Nessica coughed: "Commander Evans, your explanation is very appropriate, but as a journal in the purely mathematical field, isn't the name too general? It can't be understood at a glance what it represents. What journal?"

yes! This is the question of everyone including Levsky. Journals such as "Arcane", "Magic", "Astrology", and "Element" can roughly judge the direction of the papers in them according to the title, but "Nature" will make people mistakenly think that it is The journals founded by the druids, even though they like Lucien's praise of mathematics and the phrase "the most beautiful and essential language in nature, the unified rules of all fields", but mathematics serves the arcane, The status quo of serving magic tells them that not everyone agrees with this.

Of course, Lucien can’t say that it’s his own bad taste. Science has to define its own meaning and create words, so “Nature” can be directly quoted: “Although “Nature” is currently a journal in the purely mathematical field, I I have good hopes for it, and hope that in the future, besides pure mathematics, it can also publish arcane theories that are temporarily not understood or that almost everyone cannot understand, and gradually develop into a book that focuses on pure mathematics and describes A real periodical in the world, a periodical comparable to "Arcane" and "Magic".

This, this is too whimsical. Both "Arcane" and "Magic" have a history of hundreds of years of development. One is slightly more theoretical, and the other is inclined to application. They are all "Holy Scriptures" in the minds of arcanists. , has an irreplaceable position.

After a short period of astonishment, everyone took Lucien's words as his best wishes and ignored them. Milina smiled and said, "Using mathematical language to describe the reality of the world? Well, the title of the journal "Nature" seems to be quite good, at least it is better than using "world" and "reality". "Mathematics" lacks expandability..."

"Publish arcane theories that are not understood by people or almost everyone? This is a very good thing! Maybe in the future there will be many theories that go against our realistic intuition, and it will be difficult for people to accept them in a short time. Our journals can help 'them'." Levsky thought of himself, and agreed with Lucien's proposal very much.

The unkempt middle-aged man Salgueiro frowned: "But how to distinguish between a valuable but buried theory, and absurd and wrong papers that deliberately seek strangeness? If "Nature" completely opens the door, an impact factor The 2.0 journal will make most arcanists jealous, isn't this encouraging them to get out of reality, out of research, to make up random things, with the goal that others can't understand? And then cite each other?"

Levsky didn't have the consciousness of being the editor-in-chief of a journal, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, but Lucien smiled and said: "Nature is a journal in the field of 'pure' mathematics, so of course it must be based on pure mathematics. Based on logic, as long as there are no mistakes in the premise and logical deduction of this paper, even if it cannot pass the review of the committee for the time being, it can be published as a discussion content. If the premise and logical deduction are wrong, there is no problem. A question is an unqualified paper, which can be rejected directly."

"Yes, that's it!" Levsky remembered Lucien's deafening speech just now.

Nesska, Mirina, Mapel, Salgueiro and other committee members nodded silently, and couldn't help but recall the mistakes they made to Levsky before.

After a few minutes, Nesska looked up at the sinking sun outside: "This is the longest and most learned small-scale seminar I have ever participated in. Commissioner Evans, please submit these three papers as soon as possible. We are waiting for the evaluation results, and strive to complete the application before the application of "Nature" is approved."

Even if all the committee members currently in the field of mathematics and physics in Allinge are gathered in the conference room, the procedures that must be followed must be submitted by the magician management department and collected by the alchemy life distribution.

"I will submit it before the magician management department closes today." Only then did Lucien realize that under his concentration, the time had reached 5 pm, and almost the whole day was spent in Levsky's explanation and his own rant. , Didn't even enjoy lunch.

Watching Nessica, Salguero and other committee members leave, Levsky turned to Lucien and said, "Commander Evans, thank you, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, a talented mathematician, I would have I have to continue living a life of homelessness, pain and grievance.”

Due to long-term stagnation in strength, failing to advance to the middle level, and concentrating on the improvement of the new geometric system, he did not accept tasks and did not waste too much time in alchemy. Levsky's life was quite difficult, and he had to leave rent and food prices. Allinge, who is very expensive, lives in a nearby small town, relying on subsidies from second-level arcanists and second-level magicians. Occasionally, he cannot make ends meet when he gets sick, so he must find another source of income.

Therefore, even though the emotions had settled, Levsky was quite emotional and excited when he expressed his gratitude again. Commissioner Evans saved himself and "his own child".

"This is what you deserve, and you don't need to thank anyone, so you have to run the "Nature" journal well, so that it can help geniuses who can't be understood for the time being." Lucien said in a gentle voice.

Levsky had emotional ups and downs several times today, and when he calmed down now, he was quite exhausted, and he forced himself to smile and said, "Anyway, I am really grateful, but unfortunately I am not good at magic in the field of elements, and I can't go to atoms. The Institute has worked with you, Commissioner Evans, and could not have learned more from you."

"On the contrary, I learned persistence from you. Uh, just call me Evans or Lucien, it doesn't have to be so formal." Lucien said meaningfully and vaguely, "Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Don’t force others, Levsky, you also know that your new geometry and my new geometry are just a framework at present, and there is still a lack of specific research and analysis ability. I hope we can continue to explore in this direction together go down."

"Of course, you can't forget arcane and magic anymore. If you want to research more results and solve more problems in the field of mathematics and physics, you must improve your arcane level and magic strength, so that you can live It takes longer so that the brain will not degenerate when you get old."

"This is exactly the direction I want to study!" Levsky replied excitedly.

Seeing the deep exhaustion on his brows, Lucien motioned him to go back and have a good rest first, and sleep peacefully.

Putting his hands in the pockets of the double-breasted long dress, he quietly watched Levsky leave. Lucien was about to turn around and sort out the papers and submit them to the Magician Management Department when a sentence suddenly came from his ear:

"Your speech today was not bad. You can realize that the closer we get to the real world, the more our bodies and souls limit us, and we must rely on magic and mathematical tools. Instead of corresponding to reality, we only focus on the beginning. Axiom assumptions and internal logical deduction may be a direction for the continued development of mathematics." Fernando looked ahead expressionlessly, and praised Lucien once in a while.

Even though the level of praise was quite low, Lucien was flattered and looked at Fernando carefully, worrying that he was transformed by the little crystal illusion, but he stared back at him and confirmed the truth: "It's just for Levsky's new geometry." I feel the experience of learning.”

"Really?" Fernando looked at Lucien with a half-smile.

Lucien replied very quickly: "Of course. By the way, teacher, what have you been researching recently?"

Fernando glanced at him angrily: "I redid the experiment of cursing the substance, and found that it really radiated electrons and a new element, and in this substance, there seemed to be traces of other strange elements. However, it is quite small and unknown, and it cannot be extracted for the time being, and it will take a certain amount of time and effort."

"But this is enough to drive most arcanists crazy. What exactly are elements and atoms? What is their internal structure like? Why do they radiate new elements?"

"So, I have been making guesses about the internal structure model of atoms during this period of time. Unfortunately, without suitable magic assistance, it is difficult to go deep into the microscopic world. This is the natural condition of our body and soul that limits us."

Lucien finally understood why his short speech could impress his teacher Fernando and made him give a rare praise. It turned out that he was already thinking about the internal structure of the atom, so he thought about the language and said, "In this regard, we should make bold assumptions, and then use Experiments ruled out. In the absence of direct observation of the interior of atoms, we can only rely on indirect methods."

"You think I don't know about this?" Fernando yelled at Lucien.

Inside the tower.

Samantha knocked on the study door with a thick stack of papers in her arms, and heard the teacher's slightly melancholy voice: "Come in."

It's rare to meet a teacher with such emotions. Samantha raised her thin golden eyebrows, maintained a serious and indifferent expression, and pushed open the door: "Teacher, I need to review the thesis today."

"Well, is it Lucien Evans's?" Nessica, who was wearing a gray top hat, looked back.

Samantha flipped through the pages: "Another Hypothesis for the Parallel Line Theorem...Lucien Evans...Teacher, you lost today?"

"Yes, lost, lost badly, pride and prejudice broke us. Levsky's new geometry was right, a new geometry that was fundamentally different from the geometry of the Tower but compatible with it. "When there were no outsiders, Nesska seemed to have aged ten years because of this.

Samantha was slightly stunned: "Lucien Evans proposed a physical model?"

She is an arcane genius who is known as Larry, Eurysian, Rachel and others. She is good at astrology, electromagnetism, and mathematics. But after reading Levsky's thesis, she is also unacceptable. Violated conclusions.

"Yes, a hyperboloid similar to a saddle." Nesska said bitterly, "He also gave a proof that the two geometries on the unit circle are compatible, and proposed another new geometric system, which is opposite to the Levsky geometry The new geometry is really a genius. Maybe next month he and Levsky will be able to win the Arcane Scepter Award, not to share, but to get it separately because of their respective contributions."

Samantha has been working hard with complex changes on her expressionless serious face: "Why didn't I expect... to get the highest honors in three fields before the high level..."

"Give me the thesis, and I'll write the evaluation results." Nesska didn't want to say anything more, after flipping through the thesis again, she picked up the quill and wrote:

"Lucien Evans started from the opposite direction of Levsky's new geometric system, assuming that no straight line can be made parallel to a known straight line through a point outside the straight line, and then through perfect logical deduction, he obtained a series of bizarre and unimaginable Propositions and conclusions, once again constructed an independent and complete new geometric system - Evans geometry, and he proved the realizability of this new geometric system on a surface similar to a sphere, making it no longer a mere imagination.

"Abandoning the practical significance, only proceeding from axioms and postulates, and only focusing on the rigor and self-consistency of logical deduction, Lucien Evans showed us such a unique concept, which brought a huge impact. The definition and narrative of curvature has also brought about a conceptual revolution.”

"There is no doubt that his new geometry system has made outstanding contributions to the development of the geometry field. It is breakthrough, popular and very important. It is of great discussion value. It is recommended to award 400 arcane points and four arcane points. thousand."

When Nessica was writing, Samantha did not leave, but kept watching, with expressions of annoyance, envy, and frustration.

"Samantha, there will be a new journal coming out in a while. The inscription on the cover is a summary of Lucien Evans' speech, and the front page is the content of his speech. If you take a closer look, you should have some knowledge about mathematics and arcane exploration." New understanding." Putting down the quill, Nesska said casually.

"Huh?" Samantha was stunned for a moment, and then she became very curious.

Make up for it tomorrow~
