Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 786: The Beginning of the Energy and Information Revolution

The silver-white and black intertwined magic circle swayed bursts of electric light, enveloping the fissioning material in the center, and the resulting majestic energy became various forms that the "City of the Sky" could use through the nearby conversion magic circle. energy.

This time, the fission reactor no longer had the feeling of being too violent to be suppressed before. Although it still contained great danger, it became very stable and controllable.

"Teacher, congratulations to you, Granny Hathaway, Mr. Lavendy, and President Morris." Lucien said sincerely. Apart from proposing the fission reaction and helping to analyze the cause of the self-detonation, he made little contribution to this achievement. This is the crystallization of their four legendary wisdom.

The design of this kind of fission reactor is not as good as that on the earth. Because it is a combination of reverse cracking and forward theory, there are often various unknown dangers in the middle. If you don’t pay attention, you will encounter self-explosion and curses. Therefore, there are no personnel below the legend to participate in the actual construction. Under the condition of insufficient manpower, Fernando and Hathaway joined the two elemental legends of Lavender and Morris.

Fernando smiled, but curled his lips: "It should have been done a long time ago. I was too stupid and took many detours."

In terms of strict requirements and habitual belittling of results, he will not let go of himself.

"No matter what, with a stable large-scale fission reactor, 'Sky City' will have a permanent energy source. This can be said to be a huge breakthrough in our research on energy wells, and the energy problems that have previously fettered us will be effectively solved." Lucien was very pleased with this result.

Fernando straightened his messy hair, and looked at the fission reactor intently with his slightly cloudy red eyes: "The next step is the miniaturization of the fission reactor. By then, artificial planets, airships, space observatories and some need A steam train equipped with powerful defense and attack magic circles will get a powerful beating 'heart'."

At that time, artificial planets, airships, etc. will be able to complete attacks that require huge amounts of energy, such as laser beams, electromagnetic guns, and kinetic weapons. In the three-dimensional concept of war, in addition to the original blockade of the ground, sky, and surrounding space, additional Going to space... Hearing what the teacher said, Lucien subconsciously thought of the change in the form of war. When the two sides fought, without magic fluctuations, it was not a dream that a real "meteorite" suddenly fell from the sky.

And for the wizarding world, miniaturization is much easier than the previous stabilization!

"It's just that the energy of the fission reactor is still not enough. If we can complete the controllability, stabilization and miniaturization of nuclear fusion, then we will all be the sun king." Lucien exaggeratedly said in a humorous tone, "Also, many particle experiments in the microscopic field can be put on the agenda. The super-large particle collider I proposed at the Supreme Jury meeting should also be included in the secret project of the Magic Research Committee."

In many studies in the microscopic field, the fission reactor is an indispensable thing. It can provide a large number of particles that are difficult to find under normal circumstances, and can also directly "participate" in the experimental process. Therefore, a stable fission reactor is urgently desired by current research in the microscopic field. results.

And Lucien proposed a super-large particle collider because the current conventional electromagnetic cyclotron and colliding magic circle in the magic laboratory are increasingly unable to keep up with the needs of high-level arcanists in terms of providing particles with higher energy. up.

"Well, I discovered the importance of a stable fission reactor when I was doing research on the properties of neutrons." As soon as the arcane research was mentioned, Fernando's expression became very serious and serious, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly Dao: "It is unexpected that neutrons of different speeds will cause such a huge contrast..."

Speaking of this, he became a little thoughtful: "The large number of experiments on neutrons and protons gave me more and more an illusion that maybe they are not necessarily elementary particles, for example, the superheavy particles that can participate in the nuclear force let me Feel weird."

In the past year, influenced by Heidi's discovery of new particles (muons), more and more arcanists have devoted themselves to the research of cosmic rays, whether it is the Institute of Atoms or the Cosmic Observatory of the High Tower. It is very difficult to apply. It is normal to queue up for two or three months. Among them, Annick and others discovered positively charged and uncharged muons. Heavy particles, and it can participate in the strong interaction (nuclear force), initially named "hyperon".

"I never said that protons and neutrons must be elementary particles, at least no theory can naturally deduce this conclusion. My description of them has always been the internal structure of the nucleus." Lucien understood that this was the teacher Remind myself based on my own experiments and keen intuition, lest I, the pioneer and builder of the microscopic field, will be blown out of my head when more fundamental particles are discovered in the future.

It has to be said that with the passage of time, in the research of the microcosmic field, the great arcanists and legendary magicians no longer follow them step by step, but have their own independent expansion and research after digestion and absorption.

Seeing Lucien's open-minded attitude towards arcane arts, Fernando didn't say anything more. There is no experiment or phenomenon in itself to clearly draw this question, and it only comes from his own arcane intuition.

"Okay, I have to hurry up and discuss the miniaturization issue with Hathaway and the others." Once there was nothing else to do, Fernando's impatient character surfaced, and he hurriedly left the core of "Castle in the Sky".

"Miaminiatization... This is beyond the level of the earth..." Lucien smiled and shook his head. This is a beautiful road, but it also contains many dangers, such as whether the miniaturized fission device is vulnerable, and whether the nuclear leakage caused by it is mature. In this regard, the fusion device is much safer. After the explosion, it will be damaged within the explosion range. There will be no long-term hidden dangers and it will be clean.

…………

As soon as he returned to the Atomic Research Institute, Lucien saw Heidi's "sorrowful" eyes.

"Teacher, you are late..." Heidi prepared the report for a long time, feeling a little uneasy, but the teacher who was always early was late.

Lucien said in a good mood: "A little unexpected delay, let's start."

Heidi put away her deliberately pretended expression, and walked into her own exclusive laboratory with Cherie, Lowe, Ophelia and others. Lazar, Annick, Splinter and other arcanists in the research institute They also followed them all in. For them, this kind of report can let them gain new things every time, especially in fields where they don't have much research, so that they can learn by analogy. Therefore, even if Lucien didn't force them to be like Participating as in the monthly discussions, they also joined spontaneously.

This time, the "artificial intelligence" of Heidi, Cherie and others was half smaller than last time. Although it was still a giant, it was barely acceptable.

Heidi turned on the power, a slight current sounded, and the red and green lights began to flash.

"After the last test run, we found a lot of problems and made the following improvements..." The things introduced were naturally done by the most cheerful and conversant Heidi. She manipulated the "artificial intelligence" while cooperating with the ground. Introduced its own design theory, specific design ideas, modular applications, program storage, etc.

Although this seems to be quite far away from real arcane research, under Lucien's "tune-up", the audience present are all masters of mathematics and science, arcanists who specialize in two or three subjects but have extensive knowledge of all departments. Naturally, they can hear the mathematical ideas contained in it and the simulation of human thinking activities, and the system that represents everything with two numbers of 0 and 1 shocked them deeply. It seems to be a part of the "simple beauty" in arcane art. Great embodiment, which seems to symbolize the simplicity and mystery of the essence of the world.

After Heidi finished the introduction, she looked at Splinter "provocatively": "Didn't you say last time that mental arithmetic is faster than our 'artificial intelligence'? Do you want to compare now?"

Sprint has always had strong self-confidence, even close to unruly, so he snorted: "Okay, if you lose, you have to help me as an experimental assistant for a month, and if I lose, it's the same, but, you can't You make a question."

Having said that, he looked at Lucien: "Please ask the teacher to come up with a question."

Lucien nodded, picked a difficult topic that required a lot of data calculations, and then announced the start with a smile.

The red light and green light kept flashing, so fast that people couldn't tell the difference, and the whole laboratory became like a dance place. Four seconds later, a beep sounded, and Heidi said happily: "The result is out!"

She uses mental power to input, so it doesn't take much time to input.

Splinter raised his head and looked at Heidi in disbelief. After another ten seconds, he said in a low voice, "I figured it out too. This is the result...try again."

It's not that he doesn't admit defeat, but it's like testing the limits of this artificial intelligence.

This time it was Annick, Katrina and others who proposed the question, but Splinter failed even if he used the auxiliary calculation circle.

"Haha, the artificial intelligence this time is equal to the computing power of a high-level magician, and is good at processing large amounts of data, and is good at long-term calculations. In these aspects, even high-level magicians can't compare. Annick, you can try .” Heidi smiled proudly.

Annick did not make a bet, but compared curiously. With the help of an auxiliary computing circle, he and the "artificial intelligence" won and lost when faced with non-mass data processing problems, but when they encountered that This kind of big data that takes a long time to process, he has to admit that it is really not as good as "artificial intelligence".

"Very good, congratulations on taking a solid step and submitting your papers. This should help you get an award." Lucien said with a smile.

The discovery of new particles did not bring glory to Heidi, although she later confirmed that this particle does not participate in the strong interaction, it is not the predicted meson, but a new particle, but because of the past ten years, Holm Crown The award standard is getting more and more "strict", so it is still a little bit short.

Both Heidi and Cherie couldn't help showing bright smiles, but they soon looked forward to the future: "Hathaway, Helen, and Oliver are introducing part of the knowledge in the quantum field into magical crystallography, hoping to make a major breakthrough. , when the time comes, 'artificial intelligence' will really get rid of the bulkiness."

At this time, Splinter saw a strange icon on the water screen with sharp eyes, so he triggered it curiously with mental power. As a result, the screen changed, and a simple process of superimposing blocks appeared.

"This is?" Lucien raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

The faces of Heidi, Cherry and the others turned red immediately, and finally Heidi said eagerly: "Teacher, a small game for testing modules, we, we are not..."

"En, very good." Lucien said with a smile before she finished speaking, without any blame in his tone.

Eh? Heidi froze for a moment.
