In the Douglas Magic School, on the top floor of a magic tower with seven or eight floors.
Chelly was sitting in the advanced apprentice class, listening to Vilnia's "Basic Elemental Course". This was a course that involved apprentices, apprentices, and advanced apprentices. It was a course that led them into the world of Elemental Magic from beginner to advanced apprentices.
"Heidi and Layria already have more than ten arcana credits. They're already official arcanists …" Chely envied her friends.
Vilnia was standing on the podium, "… That's all for the introduction of ancient elemental magic. The current elemental system is based on Ms. Hathaway's atomic theory. What is an atom? It's the most basic substance that can't be divided. The same kind of atom can make up the same kind of element. It has different properties and different reactions, and it combines to form all the substances in the world. This is also the foundation of Potioneering, Alchemy, and other courses. "
"If I came to Allyn one year earlier, I would have graduated and left the school. I would not have to listen to the courses that I already knew. I could also join Mr. Evans's Atom Institution, start my amazing arcana experiments, and become a real arcanist." Chely was a bit upset. She felt that she had wasted a year's time, and she had not even passed the basic arcana test.
Vilnia continued her lesson. She was very satisfied with the focused senior-rank apprentices. They already knew the importance of arcana and magic, and they knew that arcana and magic represented power, power, and social status. Therefore, few of them were slacking off. They were totally different from the apprentices in the magic school when they just started.
In the history of Douglas Magic School, there were only a handful of senior-rank apprentices who were expelled because of their poor learning attitude.
"… I've brought some pure elements. You can get to know them first, and then you can learn their properties through experiments. You can also learn the effects of different alchemy reactions and potion brewing." Vilnia took out bottles of sealed elements and turned on the magic circle, turning the podium into an alchemy platform.
Apprentices and apprentices rarely talked about the nature of elements so deeply. They only taught the apprentices about elements, their basic properties, and their magic reaction equations, so that the apprentices could learn how to do magic research.
The dazzling light of the magic circle pulled Chelly back to reality. Vilnia held up two bottles of elements. "These are carbon elements in two different structures. Atoms make up the elements, and carbon is the main component of the human body."
Looking at the translucent diamonds and the dark grey opaque 'scales' that were glittering in metallic luster, Chelly was still greatly shocked even though she had heard Lucien's explanation. "The carbon elements in different structures are like the difference between angels and devils …"
"And it's the main component of the human body?" Chelly looked at her slender hand, finding it hard to imagine that it was made of the carbon elements in the bottle that looked different but were actually the same. "The carbon elements can be divided into carbon atoms, and so can the other elements that make up the body. Is the nature of 'me' such tiny particles?"
She turned her head and looked out of the window. The trees were green like parasol trees. A man in a black top hat and a dark suit walked past the tree with a cane in his hand. Opposite him was a graceful lady in a light purple cake dress.
"Such a handsome gentleman, such a beautiful lady, such a colorful world … Are they all made of those tiny atoms that cannot be divided?" Chelly, who had not officially stepped into the world of magic, found it hard to imagine.
… …
Inside the Atom Institution.
Lucien modified the magic circle to create a vacuum and tried the experiment again.
After confirming that the cathode ray was continuously deflected in the electromagnetic field, Lucien took a deep breath and started to adjust the magic circles of the magnetic field and electric field.
After a while, Lucien finished recording the data and started to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio of the particles in the cathode ray in his mind.
Different from the excitement and anxiety when he was calculating Planck's constant, Lucien was very calm right now, like an emotionless machine.
His mind was calm, and naturally, he did not have any illusions.
Lucien was not affected at all by the noises coming from different places in the room. He calculated the answer accurately:
"The charge-to-mass ratio is 1.76 times 10 to the eleventh power."
Boom! In Lucien's spiritual world, the environment of meditation changed again. The light spots of different elements suddenly enlarged, surrounded by countless tiny light spots. Their trajectories were indescribably mysterious, as if they contained infinite secrets.
"This is the electron!"
The electron that broke the illusion that atoms could not be divided!
The microscopic world was far more complicated than the arcanists could imagine. It would also be more exciting and unimaginable!
… …
In the abbey in Renstadt.
After hearing Bishop Abidal's explanation, a probationary pastor asked in confusion, "Your Excellency, why didn't God directly create human beings or anything else? Why did God create atoms first?"
"Daniel, don't think for the Lord! Since the Lord created atoms first, and the study on the matter of the world and the human body also shows this, there must be a profound meaning in it. " Bishop Abidal scolded the probationary pastor, Daniel. This was a mortal trying to guess the Lord's idea!
If it were in the later period of the War of Dawn, Daniel would have been arrested and sent to the inquisition immediately!
Looking at the probationary pastors who were a bit uneasy, Abidal's voice was a bit gentler, "The inseparability of atoms is the embodiment of the Lord's holiness. It represents the Lord's dominion over the world. This is something that the arcanists who claim to have mastered the truth of the world cannot break. You just need to remember this and use it in your study of divine power. "
"Yes, Your Excellency." The probationary pastors answered respectfully.
Abidal nodded in satisfaction. The common pastors only needed to know this much. After all, everything could be attributed to the Lord. If they studied more deeply, it would be easy for them to embark on the path of evil sorcerers, and it would also be easy for them to be confused by the endless theories of the Congress of Magic and be swallowed by the holy light.
For example, the Congress of Magic's assumption that "energy is in portions" did not affect the clerics at all. Whether it was continuous or not, it was all created by the Lord!
… …
From those traces, Lucien captured the wonderful symbols that could perfect his Elemental Order, but they were not complete.
Although he knew the reason, Lucien did not force himself to change his cognitive world. For him, logic deduction, formula formulation, theory verification, and experiment verification were all steps that had to be done before he built his cognitive world.
Even though the universal constants of this world and the Earth were the same, he could not blindly follow the experience of the Earth. Otherwise, his head would explode when he realized the difference between the two worlds.
Practice was the only standard to test the truth!
After memorizing the new magic symbols, Lucien changed the composition of the metal and the low-pressure gas in the core of the cathode magic circle and redid the experiment.
… …
In the Radiance Church of Holm.
Philibell took out a piece of information from Lance, the Holy City, "It has been confirmed that the new student Lucien Evans X is Lucien Evans, the musician who died in the City of Psalm. Sardes has sent a few night watchers here to help. "
As the Lord of Storm was a grand arcanist, Lucien had always been the focus of the Church. Therefore, even though Lucien was just a student of the Lord of Storm, Lucien's status had been greatly increased. The information was sent to the grand cardinals and red robes in all parishes. Soon, people in the Diocese of Violet "recognized" Lucien's other identity.
"Lucien Evans, the composer of Ode to Joy?" Vaharall could not believe it. "Is there something wrong with his head? Are there two souls in his body? Otherwise, how can he be an angel and a devil? "
Varantine's face was cold, "Do you think he's in hell because of the light in his heart?"
"It's not impossible. His assumption of energy discontinuity almost killed many senior-rank arcanists, which was much better than most of the night watchers and red robes," Philibell said, half-jokingly. "Anyway, the musician is dead, and he'll be a fake one if he shows up again in the future."
"Shouldn't we send someone to kill him?" Varantine's voice was full of killing intent.
Philibell shook his head, "Not yet, even though he's the youngest winner of Holm Crown prize, and even though he's Fernando's student. We'll talk about it when the night watchers sent by Sardes arrive. "
…
It was already late at night when Lucien finished his experiment. Lucien decided to stay in his office for the night. He sorted out his experiment paper and began to write the rest:
"… The experiment shows that the negatively charged particles emitted by the cathode and the gas inside the tube have the same charge-to-mass ratio. This means that many materials contain the same particle … "
"… The charge-to-mass ratio of the particle is about two thousand times that of the hydrogen ion in the electrolyte."
"… Based on the estimation of the charge, we can find that the mass of the particle is about two-thousandth of that of the hydrogen atom …"
"As we all know, the hydrogen atom is the lightest and smallest particle in the periodic table of elements. So, what is this particle with a mass of two-thousandth of that of the hydrogen atom?"
"A new 'atom'? Or something else? "
…
It was eight o 'clock in the morning. Fernando was thinking about something in his study.
At this time, he saw that Lucien had arrived half an hour earlier than usual.
"Sir, I've finished a series of experiments and written a new paper. Please take a look at it," said Lucien with a calm smile.
Fernando sensed that something was wrong. He took the paper and saw the title:
"The Discovery of a New Particle."
With a serious face, Fernando began to read carefully. After a long time, he raised his head and observed Lucien carefully. He did not speak for a long time.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Lucien was a bit scared by Fernando's red eyes. Didn't Fernando and Hathaway agree to temporarily abandon the theory of the inseparability of atoms?
Fernando rubbed the corners of his eyes, smacked his lips, and said in a half-serious, half-joking manner,
"I have a feeling that you're going to destroy the world one day."
