"On Monday, the 32nd ring of Holm Crown prize for the year 822 was awarded to Mr. Jerome, who discovered X-rays last year. He is the second member of the Atom Institution to win the prize after Mr. Evans."
"In the Atom Institution, Mr. Jerome is definitely not the eye-catching type. He is neither as brilliant as Mr. Evans, nor as talkative and open-minded as Mr. Lazar and Mr. Rock, nor as solid as Mr. Evans's students. How did he achieve what he has today? How did such an honest gentleman become a level four arcanist, a third circle sorcerer, and the owner of the thirty-second Holm ring? "
"That's the question. We interviewed Mr. Jerome today … Nice to meet you, Mr. Jerome. I believe you've heard our question just now. What do you think about it?"
Blake, who had the unique light blue hair and dark blue eyes of the Solars Archipelago, listened enviously and curiously. Except for the X-rays, nothing that happened in the Atom Institution in the past few years seemed to have anything to do with Jerome. Jerome seemed to always be a bystander of the results. His own experiment papers were not of much value and did not attract much attention. However, Jerome was able to shine and win the highest honor in the field of elements, which made thousands of arcanists envious.
After the female voice stopped, a mellow male voice answered, "In fact, in many people's eyes, I'm not a talented arcanist. Not to mention Evans, I'm not even as talented as Rock and the other arcanists. Also, many arcanists believe that I'm just favored by the Goddess of Luck, and that my discovery was just a coincidence. It was an even more unexpected discovery after I accidentally lost a sealed fluorescent chip."
The young sorcerer, Blake, nodded slightly. Although he was not jealous, he did think so. From the paper published on Arcana last year, it could be seen that Jerome's discovery of X-rays was more of a fluke than a well-prepared theory.
"What do you think, Mr. Jerome?" "Lark", the anchor of "Allyn's Week in News Review", asked with a smile, her seriousness gone.
Jerome smiled and said, "They're all right. But I have to add that before the discovery of X-rays, I had been doing the cathode ray experiment for 1,227 days. When Lazar, Rock, and Sprint thought that there was nothing more to be gained, I was still working on the cathode ray experiment in my spare time."
"At that time, I didn't expect that there would be a big discovery. I just thought that there were still many things about electrons and cathode ray that I didn't understand, and there was still a lot of data that I couldn't decipher, so I kept doing it. My aptitude is just average. The only things that I can rely on and be proud of are my diligence, perseverance, seriousness, and patience. "
"Maybe an arcanist like me can't come up with a groundbreaking and imaginative theory, but I believe that we can lay the most solid foundation for the arcana edifice and perfect its details. We also have a bright future in the field of arcana and magic."
These words were plain and ordinary. They weren't powerful, but they made Blake's blood boil. He muttered to himself, "Diligence, perseverance, seriousness, patience …"
"Diligence, perseverance, seriousness, patience …" Lark chewed on the words and smiled, "Thank you for sharing your success, Mr. Jerome. I've regained my confidence again. What else do you want to say?"
"Well, first of all, I have to thank Mr. Evans. His talent in the field of arcana is unparalleled, and I can always learn a lot from him. No matter how many people attack him because of the light quantum hypothesis, I always believe that his theory is reasonable. At the same time, I also want to thank him for opening the Atom Institution so that we can use it in our free time, and thank him for encouraging me to keep going when I was about to give up. Therefore, I used the letter X after his name for the ray."
Jerome said with emotion, "Secondly, I want to thank my wife, Vera. Her gentleness and thoughtfulness helped me get rid of the tiredness caused by the boring and repetitive experiments. Her love and encouragement made me full of strength every day. Without her support, I would never have been able to go so far. Half of this Holm Crown ring belongs to her."
"What a good man! I heard that Mr. Jerome's wife, Ms. Vera, just gave birth to their child. Let's wish them a happy future. " Lark sighed, "As for the topic of Holm Crown prize, we've also invited the president of the Will of Elements, Archmage Morris, to attend the meeting. Mr. Morris, what do you think about Mr. Jerome's speech just now? "
"Diligence, perseverance, seriousness, and patience … No matter what kind of talent you have, those are all qualities worth advocating." Morris' voice was deep and magnetic, full of the charm of a mature man.
Lark chuckled, "Mr. Morris, we've received many letters from arcanists this week, and they all have the same question about Holm Crown prize. Why didn't Mr. Evans receive the prize?"
"Normally speaking, the paper on radioactive elements that won him the Ice & Snow Medal should be enough for him to receive two Holm Crown prizes: one for proving that electrons belong to the internal structure of atoms, and the other for revealing the fundamental changes of matter and the mysteries of the microscopic world by radiating a new element, helium. We're all thrilled, as if we've grasped the truth of matter and entered the forbidden zone of God. But why didn't such an important paper win Holm Crown prize?"
Morris paused for a second and then said calmly, "Proving that electrons belong to the internal structure of atoms is the supplementary part of discovering electrons. After our discussion, we believe that since Evans has already won the 'electron' ring, his paper shouldn't be awarded Holm Crown prize."
"Radiating a new element does involve the mysteries of matter generation and change, but it's still a guess. When Evans discovers that the radioactive substance changes into another element due to the radiation of the new element, there's no doubt that this prize will belong to him. By then, we hope that he can come up with a whole set of theories about the structure of atoms and the change of matter. "
Lark took a deep breath and smacked her lips, "But it's still hard to believe. If Mr. Ulysses can get the thirty-first Holm Crown prize by precisely measuring the electric charge of electrons, why can't he get the prize if he can prove that electrons belong to the internal structure of atoms?"
"I've read from some arcanists' letters that they think that Mr. Evans shouldn't waste the treasury of the Will of Elements since he has already won three Holm Crown prizes. That's why he's denied the prize for the fourth time. Mr. Morris, don't you want to clarify these rumors? "
"These are groundless and ridiculous accusations. Our meeting to discuss the winner of Holm Crown prize is fair, just, and open. Evans also participated in the discussion, and he didn't raise any objection. " Morris sounded a bit angry, and then he paused for a second and continued, "It's time for the scheduled guest. I won't accept any more ridiculous interviews like this, unless you show your 'sincerity' when you make the appointment."
Why did he feel that Mr. Morris sounded a bit guilty? Blake, who was listening to the broadcast attentively, stroked his newly grown stubble.
"… That's all for Wednesday's news. Let's see what happened on Thursday."
"… The magic steam engine ship patrolling the Congress and the airship of the Saint Truth had a conflict again on the coast of Storm Strait. As the location of the mysterious dimension is getting closer and closer, the conflict is getting worse and worse. We have to be prepared. "
"Since the fall of the ancient Magic Empire, we sorcerers have been on the verge of extinction. Our situation didn't improve until the Congress was established. Therefore, this is an irreconcilable conflict between us and the enemy. Every sane sorcerer should know this. Any attempt to please both sides is very stupid."
"We can't retreat anymore. Behind us is Allyn!"
…
"… Mr. Donald, a member of the Highest Council and the president of the Will of Elements, led almost a hundred elemental sorcerers and necromancers to visit the elven court and the druid elders in the Stroop forest. They were warmly received by the legendary druid, Mr. Malfurion. The two parties exchanged opinions on the recent situation and reached a consensus. They held a grand 'spring planting' ceremony in a manor near Stroop. The improved alchemical item, 'Jinkela No. 822', appeared in front of the world for the first time. "
"… The Lord of Storm, a member of the Highest Council and a grand arcanist, submitted a paper. Based on the experiment of bombarding metal foil with helium atoms, it was found that some of the particles were deflected at a very large angle, thereby overthrowing the atomic structure model proposed by Ms. Hathaway, which is the model where electrons are embedded in the nucleus … He believes that the internal structure of an atom should be similar to Mr. Douglas' celestial body motion system, where electrons revolve around the nucleus like planets revolve around the sun … The macroscopic world and the microscopic world are shockingly similar!"
Huh? Blake sat straight in shock. The internal structure of such a small atom was the same as the internal structure of an enormous galaxy?
This world was too miraculous, too unbelievable! However, the theory was so beautiful and symmetrical! Could it be that there was a real universe inside the small atom? Could it be that there was a tiny life that was similar to human beings living on top of electrons? Could it be the theory of magic fairies that was popular in the ancient Magic Empire?
The truth of the world was so fascinating!
"… However, the Emperor of Control, a member of the Highest Council, proposed that when electrons revolve around the nucleus, they would radiate electromagnetic waves and lose energy due to being charged. Therefore, the structure of the atom could not exist stably …"
Really? Blake thought for a while and felt that it was indeed in line with the classical theory of electromagnetism.
"… The Lord of Storm said that this was only a preliminary model, and there was still room for improvement. However, judging from the attitude of the arcanists of the school of Elements, even this model was qualified to win the Holm Crown prize next year."
…
"On Saturday, according to a reliable source, the Emperor of Control, who came back a year and a half ago, had improved the magic circle, and it was now ready to complete the precise light quantum experiment. Almost at the same time, Mr. Lauren, a member of Arcana Review Board and the winner of Silver Moon Medal and Ice & Snow Medal, also revealed to the public that after three years of trial, he had also finished the improvement, and he was going to use the result to fight back against Mr. Evans's light quantum hypothesis. "
"According to the investigation, the arcanists who support the wave theory were very excited, while the arcanists who support the particle theory were very nervous and did not want to respond."
