What was the universal constant?
In layman's terms, if there were multiple universes, the universal constant was the intrinsic feature of a universe. It was its DNA, which determined its uniqueness from other universes.
After Lucien came to this world, he found that although most of the natural laws and elements in this world were the same as those on Earth, there were several obvious differences, such as the "missing" stars that represented fate, the existence of magic, divine power, and blood power, the existence of dragons, demons, vampires, and many other marvelous substances. Therefore, Lucien subconsciously believed that this universe was definitely not the universe that Earth was in. No matter how similar some of the natural laws and elements were, the universal constant must be different in some fundamental aspects.
The formula of heat radiation caused Lucien's mood to fluctuate greatly, partly because the formulas derived by Fernando and Douglas indicated that this world was also discontinuous and quantized, which completely contradicted the general understanding of the Congress of Magic. It was like a common elevator that did not climb slowly but suddenly jumped from the first floor to the second floor, and from the second floor to the third floor, without passing through the middle at all, which was completely illogical. Also, based on the formula, a universal constant could be derived. On Earth, it was called Planck's constant.
As for the first point, although it would cause the entire arcana system to be overturned, Lucien was already mentally prepared when he found that elements had periodic laws and atoms had internal structures, so he was not nervous at all. However, when he was deriving the constant, he felt that he was possessed and even had all kinds of auditory hallucinations. Because as long as the constant was compared with Planck's constant on Earth and the same gravitational constant, he would basically be able to tell the similarities and differences between the two universes.
It did not seem important, but for Lucien, it was an important progress in unraveling a corner of the world's mist. It was the source of his uncontrollable nervousness, and it was an attempt to approach the nature of the world on a deeper level!
But they were the same?
But they were the same!
At that moment, the auditory hallucinations caused by the complicated feelings of uneasiness and panic immediately disappeared. Lucien seemed to be caught in a half-virtual and half-real illusion. The environment of his meditation shook violently, and the environment made of fire, wind, and water shattered inch by inch. The starlight of gravity, on the other hand, forcibly stabilized the whole cognitive world.
Then, the environment was' reborn from fire ', and a brand-new space was slowly reconstructed on the debris. The flowing energy was no longer continuous like water but bit by bit, like the glittering ripples on the surface of the water, like countless tiny stars.
After a long time, the cognitive world was completely stabilized. Lucien slowly opened his eyes. Fortunately, he subconsciously believed that the energy was part by part, or his head would have been blown up..
The 'energy quanta' of the cognitive world seemed to be able to penetrate the virtual world and wander back and forth between the soul and the spiritual world. Lucien felt that his soul was unprecedentedly powerful, and his spirit seemed to be able to vaguely touch the deeper mysteries around him. Just like what was recorded in the Book of Astrology and Elements, he had crossed an important obstacle between the middle-rank and the senior-rank.
The fundamental nature of the cognitive world, the powerful soul and spiritual power that could directly interfere with reality, and the mastery of arcana and magic knowledge that was enough to analyze an extremely complicated sixth-circle spell were the three major obstacles between the middle-rank and the senior-rank.
However, Lucien, who was still a fourth-circle sorcerer, was not happy at all in the face of such progress. Planck's constant was the same, and together with the previous gravitational constant, he had to make a terrible inference even though he was reluctant to admit it. "This is very likely to be the universe where Earth is located. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that there are similar universes with the same universal constants. But how can the emergence of magic, divine power, and the 'disappeared' stars be explained?"
Brain in a vat?
The Matrix?
The experimental area of a certain powerful creature?
Or another theory of human selection in the same universe? Consciousness determines the world?
No matter which one it was, Lucien was unwilling to accept it at the moment. In comparison, the latter two were much better.
Lucien had never had such a strong desire to explore the truth of the world, and he was more eager to improve his magic and arcana level than ever!
"That's it for today. You can go back now. Come back tomorrow morning and read the letter again." Fernando said tiredly without opening his eyes. Lucien woke up from his meditation, and he found that his palms were full of cold sweat.
Since he gained the ability to control his body as a level-two Knight, Lucien had not been sweating like this for a long time.
"Yes, sir." Lucien took a few deep breaths and slowly stood up.
It was not until now that Fernando noticed Lucien's abnormal behavior. He thought that Lucien's mind was about to collapse because of the two goddamn formulas, so he comforted him, "Although it's hard to admit that you're an idiot, every grand arcanist has problems that they can't solve. They often have to write articles on Arcana or Magic to raise discussion for inspiration. When the next issue of Arcana is published, if we still can't solve the problem of heat radiation, you can compile the two formulas and submit them in the names of me, you, Brook, and Douglas respectively. "
"Sir, I'm fine. I just need to take a rest." Lucien was still a bit absent-minded. He did not understand Fernando's kindness.
It was not until he walked out of the gate of the headquarter of the Congress that Lucien felt alive again. This was the real world, the beautiful world!
"At least none of the researchers came to pull out the tubes, and none of them were killed by the Matrix …" Lucien shook his head and said in self-mockery, "I have to speed up the improvement of my knowledge and power … The formula and constants of heat radiation will be my next paper, but I have to do it step by step so that the grand arcanists can accept it. Otherwise, the Congress of Magic will be greatly weakened, and the Church will have the absolute advantage again. Then things will become troublesome."
In the Library of the Soul, most of the books on quantum were still sealed. There was no telling when they would be opened.
…
A week later, on the morning of June 28th.
Lucien slowly spread the butter on the bread and ate his breakfast in a very noble manner.
"Mr. Evans, when will the Atom Institution be established?" Sprint finally could not hold back his curiosity and asked.
In the past half month, Sprint had been living in Lucien's house since he quit his job as a waiter in the magic restaurant. Every day, except for studying and practicing magic, he had been helping Lucien sort out some files. He had been focusing on the analysis of fifth-circle spells and barely did any experiments. Therefore, Sprint always felt that he was useless and could not help with anything. Therefore, he was more and more anxious about the establishment of the Atom Institution.
Putting down the glass of milk, Lucien wiped the corner of his mouth with the napkin and said unhurriedly, "Very soon. Because I've successfully constructed the spell 'Fernando's Lightning Furnace' in my soul last night, I'm now a fifth-circle sorcerer. I can ask for your support now."
Of course, before that, it was time to show the formula of heat radiation.
"Mr. Evans, you're already in the fifth circle?" Sprint spat out the milk on the table, making it dirty.
He vaguely remembered that Mr. Evans became a third circle sorcerer only a year ago. He had never heard of such a speed of advancement! It was very possible that Lucien could become a senior-rank sorcerer before he was thirty!
Lucien put the napkin aside and smiled, "It's the help of external forces. If it's just me, it will take me three to five years to make the advancement. Alright, let's continue with the test papers I gave you today. You seem to be very free. Why don't you add one more? "
"No! Mr. Evans, I still have a lot of things to do! " Even Sprint, who was always rebellious, showed obvious fear when he heard Lucien's test paper. His dark red hair that was standing up suddenly fell down.
"My lord, the latest issue of Arcana was released three days in advance." Leo stopped Lucien from enjoying the young man's fear and handed the black book to Lucien.
Lucien was not surprised. He slightly nodded and opened the journal. On the first paper, he saw Isabella's paper: The Relationship between Some Alchemy Substances Naturally Secreted by Human Body and Emotions and Their Applications in Illusion Magic.
In the history of Arcana, there were only a few issues where the author of a paper on the front page was not a legendary sorcerer. The fact that Isabella's paper was on the front page showed the attitude of Arcana as an authoritative journal.
Lucien turned the pages and saw that his paper was on the fourteenth paper, which was close to the front. In the middle of the paper, there were some papers in other fields. For example, his classmate Chloe had completely summarized the content of molecular motion that he created from the perspective of statistics and probability. Instead of just proposing individual formulas and laws, Chloe had preliminarily established a new system of thermodynamics.
After reading the paper carefully, Lucien nodded his head. It was time!
"Mr. Evans, is this issue of Arcana released in advance because of Ms. Isabella's paper?" Sprint looked at the journal in Lucien's hand curiously.
Lucien looked at him confusedly, "You know about it too?"
"Yes. A lot of people have been talking about it recently. Katrina said that many arcanists are very excited and looking forward to it. Do you think Ms. Isabella can win the Laurel? " Sprint was also very excited, although he did not know what it meant to the arcana system.
"Probably not." Lucien nodded and stood up to go to the Headquarters of the Magic Council.
…
Because of the release of Arcana in advance, Lucien met a lot of sorcerers who were holding journals and discussing in the magic tower when he walked in the magic tower.
"The impact of this issue is really far-reaching." Lucien sighed as he stepped on the elevator. What he was going to do was probably beyond the word "far-reaching". "It" would "destroy" the entire arcana world!
Fernando was still as grumpy and bad-tempered as he had been recently. The low pressure around him even made Alferris, the little crystal dragon, disappear for a few days.
"Good morning, Mr. Fernando." Lucien still greeted him politely.
Fernando roared, "Do you think I'm good? Douglas and Hathaway wrote to me every day to explain the meaning of perfecting the formula from the perspective of particles and molecules, and Brook, Hellen, Oliver and Vicente asked me to consider the problem from the perspective of electromagnetic radiation and energy equalization. They were so noisy in my head that I wished that I had never studied this problem. Both directions are wrong! "
"Mr. Fernando, why don't we forget those?" Lucien seized the opportunity and asked straightforwardly.
Fernando looked at him sternly. "Forget those?"
"Yes. Forget about particles and waves, forget about which angle to start from, forget about arguing. Let's stop and look at the two formulas first. Let's see if we can combine them mathematically and form a formula that is applicable to both long and short waves." Lucien found that he had become serious subconsciously.
It was because this was a very serious "beginning"! It was the "beginning" of the collapse of the glorious arcana system!
Fernando slightly frowned. "Internal connection? Lucien, you must've completed the combination, right? With your personality, you wouldn't suggest anything rashly if you haven't tried it. Tell me about your formula. "
He saw through Lucien's "purpose" easily.
Lucien took a deep breath. "Yes, Mr. Fernando. I've already pieced together a formula."
When he said that, Lucien had an illusion that the entire Congress of Magic, the entire world of arcana, was rumbling violently.
It was the end of an era, but it was also the beginning of a new one!
