Lucien seemed to have sensed his teacher's expectation and headache. He handed the paper to Fernando with a smile, "It's an attempt to explain President Douglas's experiment on the speed of light and the corresponding transformation relationships. There's nothing subversive in it, but it has something in common with the several hypotheses proposed by other arcanists before."
This was the "Lorentz transformation" that Lucien was going to use to pave the way for his teacher's psychology.
Fernando took over the paper suspiciously and browsed through it. Then, his face changed so much that even Lucien was stunned. "Sir, what's wrong?"
"Hey, hey." Fernando chuckled twice in a row. "This is the second time I've read this paper in the past two months."
Lucien was a bit surprised. "Did an arcanist submit a similar paper? How come I couldn't find it in the records of the Arcana Review Board? If I knew that someone had already submitted it, I wouldn't have written it. "
Fernando temporarily put down the difficulties of "fission" and "fusion" and resumed his old, frivolous appearance. He chuckled and said, "It's perfectly normal that you can't find anything because he never had the courage to submit it. He only showed it to me in private and asked for my opinion."
"Which arcanist is it?" Lucien asked curiously. The surprise in his heart had mostly disappeared. It had been three years since President Douglas' experiment on the speed of light. Many supporters of the wave theory were looking for an explanation from the perspective of waves, which had to include Ether. It was not strange that one of the arcanists came up with something similar to the "Lorentz transformation".
Although the sorcerers in this world had been subverted by themselves again and again because of many things that they hadn't discovered, they were not bad at all when it came to thinking.
"It's Oliver. He's been working on this problem since he made a bet with Florencia three years ago. However, because of the delay in finding a new alternate dimension, his thinking has been intermittent. He didn't finish the whole set of transformation equations until a few months ago. He hypothesized that when the object moved relative to Ether, the length of the object would shrink in the direction of motion, so the difference of the speed of light in different directions would be offset. This also explains Douglas' experiment. Your paper should be the same, right? "
Fernando had only flipped through the beginning, thinking that if he continued to deduce like this, there would definitely be a result similar to Oliver's thesis. He had not actually finished reading it.
Lucien nodded and asked in confusion, "Yes, but why didn't Mr. Oliver submit the paper?"
Even if he was studying the Dark Dragon God and couldn't get away, he could have given the paper to his wife Florencia or his students and asked them to pass it on.
"Because he felt that there were many important things hidden in the transformation equations, and there was no way to explain why such a phenomenon occurred. He had a new idea, but he couldn't deduce it further. He thought it was absurd, wrong, and unrealistic. He was looking for other directions, so he asked me for my opinion. "
Fernando sniffed. "In my opinion, his thinking was not clear enough. He was wavering so much that I couldn't figure out how he was going to explain it. I suggested that he discuss it with you sometime. You are acknowledged to be the most subversive and open-minded arcanist. Maybe you can help him find a new direction."
As he spoke, Fernando looked at Lucien with a vague smile. "I didn't know that you would propose such an explanation, too. However, I remember that you have always ignored the existence of Ether. How could you suddenly explain Douglas' experiment with Ether as the basis? Also, I believe that you can see that part of the results in the equation, such as the length contraction of the object, are very problematic. So, Lucien, what are you trying to elicit by proposing this paper? "
"I suspect that you have a deeper explanation, which is why you proposed the paper in reverse so that the arcanists can accept it step by step. Show me your real paper."
Looking at his teacher's red eyes that were both smiling and serious, Lucien only wanted to say, "It was my parents who gave birth to me, and my teacher knows me best."
However, was he really going to show his teacher the special theory of relativity just like that?
Seeing that Lucien was hesitating, Fernando glared at him. "What? Do you think that I'm too stubborn and conservative, and my cognitive world will collapse? After 'energy quantum' and 'light quantum', do you think there's anything else that can make my head explode? When you proposed the energy quantum hypothesis to explain the black-body radiation phenomenon, although I was a bit out of control, I took it well, didn't I? "
Mr. Fernando, you've forgotten the pain after the scar has healed. Lucien still remembered Fernando's fury, frustration, and age at that time clearly. However, he did not dare to repeat such a thing, because it would only raise terrifying roars!
Thinking for a moment, Lucien considered his tone and said, "I believe that the change of length is not the contraction of the object, but the contraction of space."
"The contraction of space … Interesting. The specific definition of space has to be changed …" Due to the existence of space barriers, demiplanes, and space magic, Fernando was not too surprised. "Oliver has also thought of moving in this direction …"
"If we abandon 'ether', based on Speaker Douglas' experiment, the classical electromagnetic theory, and the study of moving objects, we can propose a hypothesis, which is the hypothesis that the speed of light is constant. Since the speed of light in vacuum is absolute in different reference frames, and the measured value is constant," Lucien went one step further and explained the specific arcana definition of the hypothesis.
Fernando clenched his right fist and tapped his chin softly. "The speed of light is constant … Based on the hypothesis, a lot of things will be inferred … Just show me your paper."
Lucien hurried to add, "There's another premise, which is the principle of relativity. There are a lot of papers in this field. Master, you must've read them before. "
Because sorcerers often used soundwave spells, they had long discovered that when the enemy used soundwave spells, the sound would be quite different when they were flying towards them and when they were running away from them. One of the soundwaves would be shorter, while the other would be longer. It seemed that the wavelength of the soundwaves had changed, and it was closely related to the speed. This phenomenon was discussed as a phenomenon to illustrate the principle of relativity, and the change of the wavelength of starlight was also discussed.
The more common phenomenon in this field was that when a magic steam train was approaching from afar, its whistle would gradually become sharper, and when the train turned sideways and moved away quickly, the whistle would become lower and lower.
Fernando nodded slightly, hinting that he knew the phenomenon and the theory in this field. "Only two premises? It fits the theory that you advocate very well. Starting from as few axioms and hypotheses as possible, a series of results can be obtained through logical deduction. Show me your paper. I'm already mentally prepared. "
"Master, why don't you infer Mr. Oliver's transformation equation yourself based on the two premises, so that the quantity introduced by the equation will have a brand-new arcana significance instead of just being a mathematical aid?" Lucien proposed.
Fernando said angrily, "I'd like to see what kind of conclusion you'll come up with!"
He sat behind the desk again and picked up the quill. He listed down the two premises first, and then based on them, he started to derive Oliver's transformation equation again.
At the beginning, everything went well. As a grand arcanist with abundant knowledge, Fernando deduced a bunch of equations almost without thinking.
As he wrote, Fernando's quill suddenly stopped on the paper and did not fall down for a long time.
The black liquid on the tip of the quill gradually condensed into a drop of water. Under the influence of gravity, the drop of water left the tip of the quill and fell on the paper in an elegant and beautiful trace, dying a small patch of black.
The thunder hell outside of the magic tower suddenly became violent, like roars.
Fernando raised his head and stared at Lucien with his crimson eyes in shock, as if he were trying to confirm something.
Lucien did not flinch at all. Their eyes met in midair. Immediately, the illusionary sound of electric sparks seemed to be echoing between the two of them.
Fernando took a deep breath and closed his eyes, continuing his derivation.
As lines of equations appeared and conclusions were drawn one after another, the feeling of time and space changes appeared in the library at some point.
The ruler, the quill, and the books seemed to be shrinking, and the clock seemed to be beating slower and slower, too.
Lucien closed his eyes and blocked his ears, sensing with his spiritual power, only to discover that it was not an illusion!
However, the change was so slight that sorcerers below the senior rank could not have noticed it.
That was the influence of the changes in his teacher's cognitive world on the real world!
That was the power of a legendary sorcerer!
After a long time, Fernando put down the quill in his hand and looked at the result of his derivation carefully. He laughed in self-mockery. "I thought I had a basic understanding of the general appearance of the world, but now I find that everything is still so fuzzy. Space and time are no longer what I thought and intuitively felt. Hehe. Time is a function of speed and depends on matter. If I hadn't derived it myself, I would've cursed you so hard that you wouldn't be able to say anything."
He raised his head and looked at Lucien, before he said solemnly, "This is a conclusion based on assumptions and must be supported by actual phenomena. Otherwise, your concept of time and space will always be an assumption. Well, it can explain why part of the starlight is moving to the red spectral area."
Fernando did not fully accept it. Something that was logically deduced from the premise must be proven, or it would only be an attractive toy that was meaningless.
"Some of the problems of the artificial planets can be solved by the clockwork effect. However, this theory is still incomplete and does not take gravity into account. There must be a lot of loopholes."
Lucien took out some of the data collected in recent years and the problems that Annick and Sprint discovered. "… When the particles are accelerated with the cyclotron, the reality deviates from the theory, but it can be explained with the introduction of the relativistic system. It's because the mass increases as the speed increases, and the orbit period changes accordingly. We can calculate the amount of change with this formula and then adjust the frequency of the change of the electric field. If the particles are accelerated again without being separated from the electric field, it will indirectly prove the existence of the relativistic effect. "
Fernando was a man of action. He immediately started the derivation. Then, he opened the magic laboratory and turned on the cyclotron. When the speed of the particles reached a certain level, he adjusted the frequency of the change of the electric field.
After a while, Fernando received the particles that had more energy than any previous experiment. Seeing that, he sighed softly. "Lucien, in your 'Arcana Voice', you proposed the concepts of worldview, life, and values. In my opinion, worldview is the understanding of the world. Without the content of history, it is equivalent to the cognitive world."
Lucien did not know why his teacher was talking about that. He was rather confused for a moment.
Fernando chuckled. "The views about time and space, on the other hand, do not only exist in the cognitive world but are also reflected in life and values. Therefore, your legendary class might as well be established as a brand-new one, named 'Worldview Destroyer'."
"Master, please don't joke at such a serious moment …" Lucien said awkwardly.
Fernando looked at Lucien with a vague smile. "I wouldn't have been able to bear it if I hadn't been suspicious of any theory because of your multiple disruptions."
"The thing that you named 'Incomplete Theory of Relativity' has to be thrown out slowly. In particular, it cannot be seen by Douglas immediately. It will be a great disruption to his theoretical system. After being hit by the wave theory of light for a hundred years, I suspect that he won't be able to bear it. Although his head won't explode and his demiplane will be destroyed, chances are that he will end up like Brook. Also, chances are that he will have other psychological changes, too … "
"Master, I didn't mean to throw it out in the first place. It was you who insisted on reading it." Lucien protested that he was wronged.
After spending too much time with his teacher, Lucien's casual and lively side was often revealed.
Fernando pretended that he did not hear anything. "I'll start with Oliver first. Now that he has discovered the problem, he should be able to accept it. Then, I'll ask him to propose his paper and guide the arcanists above the senior-rank to think."
"Why the arcanists above the senior-rank?" Lucien was somewhat confused.
Fernando put away the serious look on his face and grinned, "Do you think the arcanists below the senior-rank can understand it?"
Fernando closed the lab and slowly walked back to his study. On his way back, he nagged, "Your arcana credits have already reached level seven, and the debate between the wave theory and the light quantum theory is still going on. After a while, when the feedback of the new alchemy starts, plus the achievement of this paper, it won't be hard for you to reach level eight."
"However, as long as you can find neutrons or complete this paper, you can directly get the title of grand arcanist. Credits don't mean much to you. The most important thing for you now is to seize the time to improve your magic power. This time, the possession of the Silver Moon and the existence of the World of Souls must have brought you a lot of benefits. Also, the resources of the congress will all be on your side."
Lucien's arcana credits were now more than fifteen thousand, and he was still half way to level eight. However, the feedback of the new alchemy would be unimaginably rich.
In the study, Fernando handed the paper to Lucien and said, "See if there's anything missing. If there's nothing missing, I won't read your paper. "
Lucien glanced at the paper and found that his teacher had missed the mass-energy equation just like Mr. Einstein did many years ago. So, he smiled and picked up the quill, "Sir, there's one more inference missing."
The quill fell on the soft and tough parchment, making a rustling sound. Fernando put his hands behind his back and looked at Lucien's inference. Gradually, the look on his face became more and more serious, and there was a faint glow of excitement on his face.
Lucien's quill did not stop until the end of the paper. Then, he gave a general formula:
"… E = mc ^ 2."
Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning flashed across the sky outside the window, illuminating the whole demiplane in the heavy rain.
Boom! The thunderous sound that seemed to be able to destroy the world even made the window tremble violently.
"So that's what the magic model means! The conversion of mass and energy! No wonder the new alchemy can create high temperature! "Fernando murmured in excitement.
His voice was almost roaring, as if he had finally found the direction to improve his legendary class through the new alchemy. Also, he had integrated electromagnetism, light-darkness, element, heat, force field, and alchemy that he was good at.
Although most of the magic models of fusion and fission were still beyond his understanding, and he had to rely on the discovery of phenomena and in-depth experiments, it was not something that he could reverse engineer in a short time. However, there was finally a glimmer of hope!
… …
In the Bright Hall, the Grand Cardinals in the Holy City of Lance were discussing the materials and reports submitted by Sardes.
"The clerics and night watchers in Holm parish are in serious mental condition." Saint Melmax, the captain of the Temple Knight Legion, reported.
The rest of the Grand Cardinals were all silent, because it was obvious from the report, the materials, and the previous facts that the change was partly due to the pope's improvement of theology and theurgy. Talking nonsense at such a time would infuriate Benedict II.
"If we decide to go to war, the mental condition of most of the clerics and night watchers in Holm parish is something to be happy about. However, the alternate dimension that has just been discovered has abundant population and material resources, and many evil organizations are coming to rob it. We cannot afford to be distracted for now." Benedict II said with deep eyes, "Punish the night watchers according to Sardes' proposal and summon Amelton and other red robes."
Philibell of the Diocese of Orvarit immediately agreed, "I'll follow Your Holiness' order. I'll appoint a new red robe to take charge of the inquisition."
The rest of the Grand Cardinals had nothing to do with it, so naturally, none of them objected.
… …
In the Radiance Church, Sardes saw the written reply and rubbed the paper with a smile.
As he rubbed the paper, Juliana's name appeared at the end of the punishment list. However, her punishment was much lighter than that of the two night watchers who subdued Baron Austin. The two night watchers were executed, while Juliana was imprisoned for one year.
"Ask Octave to come here." Sardes said to the red robe on duty through the divine power circle.
… …
Soon, Octave, wearing a bright red cardinal robe, walked out of the study of the Grand Cardinals. His face was extremely gloomy. He had been deprived of his position as the head of the inquisition!
It was a real power position among the red robes, second only to the duty of a small parish.
The radical night watchers showed up every year. What did it have to do with him?
What was the big deal about killing a noble who listened to Arcana Voice and sided with the Congress of Magic? Did it violate the Lord's teaching?
Did the Lord allow the evil to grow?
The Church was getting weaker and weaker!
Walking in the Radiance Church, Octave sensed the sympathy of many people. He couldn't help but shout in his heart, "Your Holiness, do you see it? They're all sympathizing with me, and they're all questioning your way of dealing with it! "
… …
On June 20th, after the funeral of King Feltis and Prince Patrick …
Natasha, wearing a conservative black dress, received Duke James, Duke Russell and Count Henson.
"The punishment of the Church is out. The two night watchers who did it will be executed by the inquisition. The rest of the night watchers will also be punished to different degrees. Please convey this result to Baron Austin's family, and also convey my condolences. "Natasha drew a cross in front of her chest.
Duke James was a bit dissatisfied, "Only the night watchers? Those lunatics won't be scared! Are we going to live in fear all the time in the future? The head of the inquisition must be punished to wake them up. Also, the night watchers in the inquisition must be screened immediately. Those with extreme tendencies must be controlled and killed. That's the view of us nobles. Your Majesty, this is also to ensure your safety. Lunatics should not be alive! "
He could more or less accept the punishment. He couldn't raise a war with the Church directly, could he? It was already not bad that the Church had made such concessions. He was only making a fuss because he was testing Natasha's attitude and tendency.
Duke Russell and Count Henson both nodded in agreement.
Natasha said solemnly, "Duke James, Duke Russell, Count Henson, it's indeed the Church's fault for not supporting the extreme night watchers, but their apology is very sincere too. I think the punishment is acceptable. The execution of the murderers is enough to comfort Baron Austin."
"Also, Octave, the head of the inquisition, has been removed from his post too. I believe that Saint Sardes will gradually control those lunatics. Your request is not wrong, but it's too radical and does not leave any room for negotiation. It's both the benevolent teaching of betrayal and the time to fulfill your request. "
Duke James said, somewhat disappointed, "Since Your Majesty thinks it's acceptable, we have no objection."
After leaving the Nekso Palace, Russell and Henson both squeezed into James' carriage. The three of them were caught in indescribable silence.
It was not until they were close to the villa that Russell finally sighed and broke the depression. "Her Majesty has been raised by the Church since childhood, and she grew up in Aalto, which has a conservative religious atmosphere. It's perfectly normal that she's more or less partial to the Church. There's no need to be too pessimistic."
"I'm afraid that this is just the beginning. Her teacher is' God's Glory 'Belial." Said James gloomily.
Henson Count nodded and said in a low voice, "We won't be at a loss if we're prepared in advance. We have to make some preparations in advance."
Suddenly, the sound of a horse galloping close came from outside. A Knight who had been keeping an eye on the Nekso Palace leaned to the window.
"What's wrong?" James recognized that it was a Knight of his family who was loyal to him.
With a weird expression, the Knight said in both surprise and delight, "Her Majesty has visited the seniors in the Royal Magic Tower of Holm!"
"What?" Henson Count blurted out. Such a change? What happened to this world?
… …
Inside the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, Natasha was waiting to meet the sorcerers of the royal family of Holm in a spacious hall. She said gloatingly, "I have to thank the radical night watchers, or I wouldn't have been able to find an excuse to come here. When Duke Rex asks, I'll say that I'm here to appease the liberal nobles. Hehe. The Church is in the wrong. They'll certainly agree with me. "
However, she knew very well that the Royal Magic Tower of Holm was the limit. It was impossible for her to go to Allyn. This place was still under the name of the royal family, and many members of the royal family were there. With sufficient reasons, the Church and the conservative nobles would not be irritated.
"You must've come to the Royal Magic Tower of Holm for other purposes, right?" Camille knew Natasha very well. She would not act recklessly.
Natasha became solemn. "According to Lucien's suggestion, I collected some hair and flesh from my uncle's body, which can be used to determine his age. As long as we compare the age with my uncle's actual age, we will be able to determine if he was affected by 'Heart of Time'. It's very powerful evidence. Time will never leave no traces!"
"'Heart of Time' can also reverse time after the prince's death." Camille did not know the limits of Kritonia's abilities very well.
Natasha shook her head. "Time reversal? It's impossible for him to do that. Also, Lucien also said that some changes can only happen to living people, unless he can bring my uncle back to life. "
"Sorcerers always have a lot of weird spells." Camille did not quite understand what was going on.
Natasha calmed herself down and looked down at Renstadt. After a while, her mood was better. She chuckled. "I've known Lucien for so many years, but I've never really celebrated his birthday with him. I was rather unhappy that June 26th was coming, but we couldn't meet each other. But now, the problem has been solved. I'll visit Duke Rex's manors and properties in a couple of days, and then I'll visit the Royal Magic Tower of Holm again on the evening of June 25th! "
"What birthday gift should I give him?"
Natasha paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, she noticed that Camille was staring at her. She immediately asked curiously, "Aunt Camille, what's wrong?"
"Look at yourself in the mirror." Camille raised her chin and pointed at the mirror in the corner of the living room.
Natasha walked to the mirror in confusion and confusion. She saw a tall, slim, and well-proportioned purple-haired beauty. "Her" cheeks were flushed because of happiness, softening the stiffness that was too prominent, making the beauty that was already unparalleled in the first place even more glamorous. In the meantime, "her" eyes were like water, and there was a smile on her lips. There was something indescribable about her.
"Is this me?"
Natasha had forgotten how many years it had been since she last saw herself like this. It should be when she was with Sylvia.
Camille said calmly, "You've fallen in love with Lucien Evans."
She was not asking or being surprised, but pointing out a fact.
"What?" Natasha's face was immediately twisted, as if she had been struck by lightning.
