"I just introduced the energy quantum hypothesis into the analysis of light and explained the photoelectric effect." Lucien did not try to hide the truth from Fernando.
The corner of Fernando's lips twitched a bit, "That's an enlightening point of view. I don't think any arcanists are willing to accept such an enlightening point of view."
The energy quantum hypothesis was based on the fact that Fernando and Lucien ruled out all the other explanations together. Therefore, after the initial resistance, Fernando was one of the arcanists who could accept this hypothesis the most. However, even so, he only used it in the analysis of black-body radiation and never thought about spreading it to other fields.
Then, Fernando complained, "Are you trying to build your own system based on the quantum hypothesis?" Since it was the continuation of the energy quantum hypothesis, it was not that subversive. As long as Lucien did not prove this hypothesis through experiments, it would not be that shocking. Therefore, Fernando did not need to worry that Lucien would destroy the Congress.
As Fernando turned the pages of the paper, his face became more and more serious, "Although I've been leaning toward using the quantum hypothesis to deal with the instantaneous process of energy absorption and emission in the study of black-body radiation, I still don't agree with extending it to the existence and propagation of light. Brook's electromagnetic equations have explained this very well. If it's not necessary, I don't want to add any more assumptions."
Fernando was not a firm supporter of the wave theory, but any arcanist who was good at the school of electromagnetism would be deeply shocked by Brook's equations, which was as beautiful as the poem of the goddess. Therefore, he still resisted the light quantum hypothesis that seemed to be directly challenging Brook's system, even though the hypothesis explained the photoelectric effect succinctly and beautifully.
As expected, even an open-minded grand arcanist like Fernando could not accept this enlightening point of view. Lucien was not surprised.
Fernando closed the paper and said seriously, "However, this is the best explanation for the photoelectric effect that I've seen so far. If you spend some time improving the magic circles and completing the experiment accurately, it might be easier for people to accept your hypothesis with the experiment images and data." Lucien nodded his head.
"I'm not able to design such an accurate experiment yet." Lucien did not mention that if the experiment proved that the hypothesis was true, at least some arcanists' cognitive world would collapse or get hurt because of it.
After reading the paper, Fernando knew what the experiment required. After hearing what Lucien said, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he said to Lucien seriously, "Even though I don't agree with your point of view, I have to admit that the whole process is very enlightening. The photoelectric effect is explained reasonably and concisely, and it will leave a deep impression in people's mind. However, in the end, the description that instantaneously as particles and averages as waves is too weak and redundant! It makes people feel that even you can't firmly support the light quantum hypothesis, and you're trying to coexist with the wave hypothesis in a funny way! "
"That's my real point of view. Otherwise, I can't explain the diffraction and the photoelectric effect," said Lucien boldly.
Fernando stared at Lucien and said, "If it's both waves and particles, what state should it exist in? For example, the quantum effect that you hypothesized divides light into parts, which looks like a combination. But why don't you think about why so many light quanta can behave as waves as a whole? Who said that light has to move forward in the form of waves? "
"You've seen the charge of the Knight Legion, haven't you? If there was no command and no training, they would definitely be scattered during the charge and would not be able to maintain a certain formation. However, after strict training and receiving qualified command, they would be able to charge into the enemy's formation like a sharp triangle without being messed up. But whose strict training and command did the light quanta receive to be able to spread according to the characteristics of waves? Is it the God of Truth? "
"Have you ever considered this question?"
Even though Lucien was the student that he was most proud of, Fernando did not hesitate to pick on Lucien's face.
"It doesn't need strict training, and it doesn't need anyone's command. It's a wave, and it naturally has to behave as waves. Teacher, you're explaining why it has the characteristics of waves from the perspective of particles, but I don't think so. It's a wave, and it doesn't need to be explained from other perspectives. "Lucien seemed to be sincere, but in Fernando's ears, it sounded like he was being unreasonable. The form of existence could be beyond imagination, but it had to be based on an explanation!
Therefore, Fernando roared, "What about the photoelectric effect?"
"It's also a light quanta, and it doesn't need to be explained from the perspective of waves." Lucien still used this kind of way to explain, which was called "mysterious" by some people in Lucien's previous life.
However, Lucien didn't want to argue with his teacher right now. There were still many barriers in this field, so he said, "Teacher, this is just my own immature point of view, and it hasn't been written in the paper yet."
Fernando slightly nodded with a straight face. He allowed his students to have all kinds of strange ideas, but when it came to the final paper or result, it must be based on rigorous inference or mathematical description, "Compared to your real point of view, the paper is much cuter. I don't want the arcana research to become a philosophical speculation in the end."
Then, he knocked on the desk, "There's no experiment to prove this paper. You'd better be prepared to be attacked by most arcanists."
"It's okay. Without a conclusion, they'll forget this problem after a while." Lucien didn't seem to care much about it.
Fernando looked at him and shook his head, "Don't underestimate the persistence of arcanists. Some of them will never give up."
… …
Back in the office of Arcana Review Board, Lucien saw a paper on the desk, and he immediately frowned. Ever since the news that Lucien's review of Levski's paper on the new geometry system and indirectly contributed to Levski's winning of the Arcana Scepter, some arcanists had submitted their own "subversive" papers in an attempt to gain recognition from Lucien, the board member who liked subversive and revolutionary papers, so that they could become famous and win the highest honor in their fields.
However, faced with the papers that claimed to have overthrown the Brook system and the Douglas system, Lucien was of a mind to tear them apart, throw them in the face of the authors, and call them 'folk grand arcanists'!
Telling himself not to be prejudiced, Lucien opened the paper and began to read it carefully.
"It's even worse than before. They don't even understand the theory they're trying to overthrow, and they're already saying that there's a contradiction here and there, that there's a contradiction here and there, that there's a contradiction here and there, and that there's a contradiction with logic and common sense …" Lucien suddenly felt that the authors of the paper had become more and more adorable. At least, they were still making mistakes based on understanding the theory.
"But it's still a joke …" Lucien picked up the quill and started to correct the paper.
In the Sorcerer Administrative Department, Eric's eyes were glazed, which was rarely seen.
In front of him, a good-looking man in his thirties with black hair and blue eyes was talking with confidence, "After years of research and deduction, I've found a fatal mistake in Mr. President's Force Field Theory. This is enough to expose the seemingly solid armor of this theoretical system and pierce through its weak core, saving all the arcanists in the Congress from the mistakes they've made for hundreds of years."
Lucien was a sorcerer who specialized in the school of electromagnetism. How much time could he spend on Force Field Theory? Eric did not want to say anything more. He was thinking about how to ask the man to leave.
"It's a pity that the members of the Review Board are all puppets who blindly follow authority. They can't see the value of my theory and the fatal mistakes in it. Thankfully, Mr. Evans is a young and vigorous member who dares to question everything. I'm sure that he'll be able to understand my paper, face up to those mistakes, and give me back the honor and praise that I deserve," the man said proudly and confidently.
Eric touched his sparse hair, "Peavy, other sorcerers are waiting for you. You can come back in three days to get the result."
Peavy shrugged, "What a shame. I was going to tell you about my theoretical system."
Suddenly, the iron cage lit up with a milky white light, and a document appeared.
"Peavy, your paper?" Eric stopped Peavy, who was about to leave.
Peavy was pleasantly surprised, "Mr. Evans, you really like my paper?"
In front of his chest, Peavy was wearing the badge of a level-one arcanist and a fourth-circle sorcerer.
Eric turned over the paper, and his face twitched a bit. He directly gave the paper back to Peavy, "You can read it yourself."
Peavy opened the paper, only to see that it was full of crosses in red ink. Behind each cross, there were corresponding corrections and correct deductions, as well as some strange words such as deducting two or three marks.
Looking at the red crosses, Peavy's veins bulged and twitched violently on his forehead. His eyes were filled with crosses.
He quickly flipped to the last page and saw Lucien's comments. "Based on a score of 100, after deducting all the points for errors, there is only one point left. Plus the ten points for cleanliness of the paper, there is a total of eleven points. It is still far from the passing score of sixty points. Therefore, it cannot pass the review."
Since Lucien had the right to veto any subversive paper, and this paper had been judged as unqualified by other members before, the alchemical life directly gave the final verdict, "Failed."
Peavy's face turned red when he saw Lucien's comments. His deduction contradicted with his own deduction, so it had to be wrong! It had to be wrong!
"I didn't know that Evans is also a person who blindly follows authority! No, he just doesn't want to see the rise of a genius arcanist like me. He doesn't want to see me overthrow Mr. President's theoretical system and get a higher evaluation and honor than him! "He turned around and left angrily, his voice full of resentment.
Eric took a deep breath. He felt that the Congress should keep all these people together and let them flatter and argue among themselves.
… …
Since the paper was submitted by Lucien Evans, the electromagnetic doll did not dare to directly send it to Lauren's students and the arcanists in the branch of Light-darkness. Instead, it informed Lauren through electromagnetic messaging.
One day later, the archmage Lauren came to Allyn. He asked for the paper and started to read it.
"He still hasn't given up his hypothesis of energy quantum? How stubborn, stupid, and blind! " Lauren threw down the paper with a gloomy face, "He even quantized light and moved it closer to the particle theory!"
"Did he rely on luck to grow up? How dare they submit and believe such a ridiculous paper that has no experimental proof and the hypothesis is also baseless and ridiculous? "
"I'm going to do an accurate photoelectric effect experiment and slap this hypothesis in your face with the result!" Lauren was infuriated, as if Lucien had touched his taboo. The two theories that Lauren insisted on were both attacked by Lucien's absurd quantum hypothesis!
After thinking for a while, Lauren realized that he was not qualified to complete the experiment for the time being. However, it did not mean that he could not write down the evaluation result. So he sat back at his desk and picked up the quill.
