Throne of Magical Arcana

When arriving at the affairs committee, Lucien happened to meet Norman, Douglas' student, who was one of the committee members.

"Your Excellency Evans, you are the truth of the elements..." Norman saluted according to the rules of the parliament.

Lucien smiled and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome and waste your time. I used to pay tribute only when I first met you."

"Your Excellency Evans, do you have something to tell the committee?" Norman asked, "Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, just use the communication tool in the tower to contact the committee member on duty, or let us go to your study."

Lucien pointed to the conference room: "Some things are more clearly explained in person."

After recounting the Holt School of Magic, Lucien looked at Norman and asked, "Is there anything unclear?"

"Your Excellency, this is a very good idea. It is a teaching model that I have never seen before. I also graduated from a magic school. If I could choose courses and teachers independently at that time, it would save at least a year of time." Norman laughed I can't help but praise this new model. He can be spotted by Douglas, which shows that his talent at the beginning was amazing.

Lucien thought to himself, if someone else proposed this independent teaching model, it would probably be considered as damaging the school atmosphere and the traditional teacher-student relationship, just like the predicament he encountered when he was in Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but Now, Norman gave a very high praise based on his impression without any careful analysis.

"Many apprentices are young, and self-indulgence will only indulge themselves. Different age levels require different methods. Blind indulgence is definitely not a good way." Lucien got up and said, "The age limit of the academy is two years, you can Graduation ahead of schedule, you can also apply for a one-year postponement, the specifics are up to you."

"Okay, I will organize a committee meeting to discuss and make plans as soon as possible." Norman has already recorded Lucien's story in the magic circle.

Just as Lucien was about to leave, a mid-level arcanist from the affairs committee came in: "Commander Norman, the confidential recording stone sent by Your Excellency the Ice Witch, let the committee organize it into a discussion article."

"Recording stone?" Norman gave Lucien a strange look. Does the Supreme Council have other orders?

After Gaston found materials to complete the magic phonograph, many arcanists also developed similar products, and the recording stone was one of them, which was much more convenient than the previous simplification.

"It's some discussions before the meeting." Lucien stopped leaving and was about to observe Norman. Although he could be sure that this discussion would not shake the magician's perception of the world based on logic and prophecy spells, he still had to proceed from the Norman, a high-level arcanist, judged everyone's acceptance after hearing the recording, and adjusted the release of the next issue of the paper.

Seeing Lucien sit down again, Norman thought that he still had an explanation for the content in the recording stone, so he motioned for the mid-level arcanist to go out first, and he opened the soundproof and secrecy circle in the meeting room before activating the magic circle. recorded stone.

"There is no experiment to prove the volatility of electrons..." Hathaway's clear and cold voice came out.

Norman's mind suddenly came to a conclusion. It should be discussing Dieppe's thesis and His Excellency Evans' evaluation.

As the debate continued, Norman gradually became more focused. The views of several of you in it well represented his own views. For example, if microscopic particles are waves, why is the human body composed of microscopic particles not waves? For example, Hathaway's elaboration on the special vibration of particles showing wave properties.

When Oliver asked Lucien's point of view, Norman looked curiously at Lucien who was sitting on the chair in the conference room. It was hard to understand why he asked the questions of 'what is a wave' and 'what is a particle' .

But after Lucien clearly explained his thoughts with the story of "The Blind Man Touching the Dragon", Norman's expression became very serious, as if he was thinking about a profound question, and he whispered to himself: "Dear Bats, lizards, waves, particles... This is really an angle that has never been seen before..."

The discussion came to an abrupt end before Fernando could speak, and Norman remained in a state of contemplation, as if he was trying to integrate Lucien's point of view.

After a while, he finally said bitterly with joy: "Your Excellency Evans, with your thinking angle and easy-to-understand analogy, even if electrons are proved to be volatile in the future, I am not worried that the cognitive world will collapse. gone."

Then, he recounted his understanding and sought Lucien's affirmation: "...it can be regarded as something we haven't fully understood, and we can't easily define it with some characteristics, only a certain range can be given. According to the description inside, it is not that day is equal to night, but that the sky can show two states of day and night, and the difference in observation time causes the difference in its nature.”

This is much easier than directly accepting that particles are waves. For unknown things, magicians always have a strong sense of awe. Whatever the experimental results are, they will be temporarily described as what they are.

Naturally, Lucien couldn't say that it should be a superposition state of "day" and "night". Seeing that Norman accepted it well, he stood up and said, "This is a discussion of some current issues, mainly to let arcanists understand unknown things. Have a more cautious and open attitude, and you can't simply substitute the original concept, otherwise it will be a blind man touching the dragon and replacing it with dots."

"Arcane research is very important, and the thinking of arcane research seems to be equally important!" Norman said with some emotion.

Lucien smiled and nodded. This is the methodology, which is the external manifestation of one's own worldview, and it is reflected in what method and attitude one uses to observe and deal with problems.

Seeing that Lucien was about to leave, Norman sent him to the door, and sighed slightly: "Could it be that only by treating electrons as waves can we solve the problem of new alchemy? This makes people feel that new alchemy has reached the most difficult stage." It's time, there is almost no hope, and the dawn that can be found is still unacceptable to oneself."

The existence of matter is real. Even Norman, an arcanist who is biased towards wave theory, is a bit unacceptable when he introduces the concept of waves into the basis of matter. He feels powerless and frustrated with the plight of the new alchemy. feel.

"You forgot again, it's just a mysterious substance that exhibits volatility." Lucien waved goodbye, and the change of view would not be completed in a short while.

After watching Lucien leave, Norman pinched his cheek: "... such a real touch, it's hard to believe that it will be volatile..."

…………

As the president of "Elemental Will", after sorting out the discussion articles, Morris quickly got them in his hand, flipped through them, and there was a self-deprecating smile in his silver-gray eyes: "On one side is the new alchemy , On the one hand, electrons have volatility, which is really difficult to choose.”

"Teacher, this is the third time you have made such an exclamation today, at least three times in the short hour when I discussed the problem with you." Florence said slightly complaining, "This kind of problem is so worrying now. What to do more? The volatility can be explained, but it doesn’t mean that it can’t be done from the perspective of particles. Worrying about this is worse than spending more energy on research, but your tone doesn’t sound as hesitant as the previous two times.”

She is a member of the affairs committee whose action is stronger than research.

Morris smiled and said, "It's very sharp. Lucien explained the problem of electrons from a new angle. If it shows volatility, it's not unacceptable."

"Really?" Florence reached out for the paper, read it carefully, and finally said with a smile: "The previous discussion was really intense, but Lucien's way of thinking is also unique enough. The internal factors that make subversive results ... it is difficult to see a metaphor that simplifies the problem so much."

"Maybe this is the essence of wave-particle duality." Morris sighed softly, "But judging from the meaning of Lucien's words, he tends to use volatility to solve the problem of new alchemy."

"The cornerstone of the field of elements, the fundamental code describing particles, is really ironic to use volatility to solve problems." Florence laughed, her expression slightly sad.

Morris got up and walked to the French window, looking at the gray weather outside, the heavy snow blocked his sight, bringing a sinister and depressing feeling: "The current new alchemy is in such a weather, surrounded by The white snowflakes can't see the direction to solve the problem, and they are stuck in a difficult predicament. They can only grope forward step by step. Even if it is something that was unacceptable and difficult to reconcile in the past, as long as it can show the way, we must hold on to it. catch."

"This is Lucien's dilemma, and it is also the dilemma of all our elemental and alchemy magicians. We are like a besieged beast. We must struggle hard, use all resources, and seize every opportunity to escape the siege. See A new dawn."

Florence followed her to the window, and sighed slightly: "I hope that this confused situation, this oppressive, cold and directionless wandering situation will end as soon as possible, so that we can pass through the vast night and arrive at the place where thousands of rays of light are dyed red." The dawn of everything."

"The night before dawn is the deepest and deepest." Morris half-jokingly said, this is also the last obstacle before his cognition of the world is semi-solidified.

…………

High-ranking arcanists such as Lavender, Gaston, Locklinne, and Marcus also had similar feelings when they read the discussion articles. On the one hand, Lucien's explanation gave them a better understanding of microscopic particles. With an open attitude, there has been a change in the way of thinking. On the other hand, there are many sighs about the bottleneck of the new alchemy.

After the efforts in the direction of particles failed, did you finally ask for help from the wave theory?

If even volatility can't solve all the problems, is the new alchemy model wrong from beginning to end?

In a dark and unknown world where no fingers can be seen, New Alchemy seems to have reached a fork in the road that determines its own destiny!

"Maybe we are close to success, but in the darkness, there is only one way out. If you take the right step, you will be able to ascend to the throne of arcane arts and master the mysteries of matter. If you take the wrong step, you will fall into the bottomless abyss." , smashed to pieces." Looking at the oppressive scene of heavy snowfall outside the window, Lavendi had an inexplicable premonition:

The new alchemy has reached the most critical moment. Will it rise like the sun and illuminate everything, or will it fall like a silver moon and let darkness cover the world again?

…………

In the evening, after replying to many letters, Lucien re-entered the study, sat on a chair, and then took out many experimental data.

The plan is not as fast as the change, Lucien shook his head, picked up the quill and wrote:

"On Quantum Mechanics".

Outside the window, snowflakes are flying, cold and dark.

It's still not four thousand, let's make it up in the next chapter, half past eleven, anyway, it will be made up in these two days
