Lucien respected Raventi from the bottom of his heart. He smiled and said, "I just got the journal 'Arcana' and haven't read it yet. However, if you want to discuss the paper with me, it's not a problem. I talked to Mr. Oliver a couple of days ago in my teacher's place."
"You talked to him?" Raventi was a bit surprised. As far as he knew, Oliver barely knew Lucien. He should've talked to anyone but Lucien. However, Raventi soon thought of a reason. It must've been 'Hand of Annihilation' who talked to the Lord of Storm, and Lucien happened to be there, so he asked him to join them.
After thinking it through, before Lucien replied, he asked impatiently, "Do you think that the length of matter will shrink when it moves with 'Ether'? Is it necessary to explain Mr. Douglas' experiment from the perspective of 'Ether'? "
Raventi was an elemental sorcerer who was more open-minded but had his own insistence. He could accept that atoms could be separated, but he could not imagine that the length of matter would shrink when it moved without the integration of spiritual power.
"First of all, it's just an assumption, just like the assumptions proposed by many supporters of the wave theory before. It shouldn't be treated differently just because the proposer is a grand arcanist." Lucien repeated the reason that he gave to his student earlier and said, "Also, I don't think it's the contraction of matter itself. If it's true, I'm more inclined to believe that it's the contraction of space …"
Hearing the conversation between Lucien and Raventi, Heidi and Annick were greatly enlightened. So, their teacher had read the paper in advance. No wonder he could be so calm.
"I despise you!" Heidi complained in her heart. Then, like Katrina and the rest of them, she listened to the discussion between their teacher and Raventi attentively and checked the journal in her hand now and then.
After a long time, Raventi finally cut off the communication in satisfaction. Lucien raised his head and saw six pairs of clear eyes. They looked relaxed, as if their anxiety had been eliminated after he expressed his opinion.
"Sir, there's still something that I don't understand." Katrina hurried to ask. Their teacher was indeed on their side!
After Lucien explained his questions, Annick frowned and asked in confusion, "Sir, you said that you were neither inclined to the particle theory nor the wave theory? What's light exactly? "
Now that he mentioned it, Heidi and the rest of them finally remembered the topic that shocked them. They all looked at Lucien's eyes in confusion and worry. confusion.
Lucien thought for a moment and kept a serious attitude. "If you can drop your previous concepts about the wave theory and the particle theory and truly consider the experiment results and phenomena, you will discover that light shows both the obvious features of particles, such as the photoelectric effect and the Brook scattering experiment, as well as the obvious features of waves, such as the double-slit interference experiment, the diffraction experiment, and the Brook bright spot. Therefore, both the wave theory and the particle theory have insurmountable shortcomings so far and cannot describe light completely. I'm inclined to believe that, on a higher level, waves and particles are unified, except that they have different projections in reality."
This was the first time that Lucien had explained the problem in front of other people. It was sort of a psychological foundation for his students.
After hearing Lucien's explanation, Annick and the rest of them seemed to be deep in thought, but there was more confusion on their faces.
Lucien did not intend to continue the war between waves and particles right now. He stopped talking in time and prepared to return to his office to read this issue of 'Arcana' carefully. A few nights ago, hazy three-dimensional patterns that could not be seen clearly suddenly appeared in his cognitive world, like the structure of a new legendary class that his teacher Fernando mentioned repeatedly. It made Lucien suspect that somebody had verified a certain prophecy of 'new alchemy', but it was not the most important neutron.
In the beginning, Lucien could've searched for neutrons by himself by repeating the experiment, but right now, his magic level was not matched with his cognitive world yet, and he had not learned many common spells yet. His foundation was not solid enough, and major changes in his cognitive world could leave hidden problems. After all, the 'new legendary class' that he constructed was not of any use to him yet.
Lucien believed that it would be the best time to 'discover neutrons' when his seventh-circle and eighth-circle spells were more abundant and his magic level was more stable in one to two years.
When he was about to step forward, Lucien felt that his monocle became hot again.
"Lucien? Have you read the new issue of 'Arcana'? "It was Gaston's voice this time.
Lucien took a breath in relief with a smile. "I just finished the discussion with Mr. Raventi …"
After talking for a while, Gaston explained his opinion and absorbed Lucien's opinion. In the end, he said, "I rarely discuss arcana with you like this. You're even more excellent than I thought. Do you have any other suggestions about Mr. Oliver's paper?"
"I think his transformation equations can be applied to a lot of places. We can study them carefully." Lucien pointed out meaningfully.
Gaston did not understand Lucien's implication at all. He chuckled and said, "I also think that the equations can be applied to a lot of research fields. Right, Lucien, you don't know yet, do you? The Arcana Review Board has decided that with your current arcana level, you should not only be responsible for subversive papers. You're a veritable authority. Naturally, you should be responsible for reviewing papers in your field. "
"What field?" Lucien clenched his teeth. Ever since the 'folk grand arcanists' realized that they could not make any breakthroughs from him, Lucien barely had any papers to review in a year. He almost forgot that he was still a member of the Arcana Review Board. After all, subversive papers were not that common.
However, Lucien did not reject the board's decision, because reviewing more papers was also a kind of exercise. It was a way to get inspiration and ideas. Even if the papers were full of mistakes and could not pass the review, they could still bring him a new perspective.
Gaston smiled. "All the board members have unanimously agreed that you're an authority in Elements, Alchemy, Thermodynamics, and Mathematics. All the papers in the four major fields can be transferred to you. Also, you're responsible for the papers in the school of Light-darkness, Photon, Electromagnetism, X-Ray, Electron, and so on. Is that okay?"
So far, although Lucien had won the Immortal Throne Award and the Silver Moon Medal, no one really believed that he was an authority in Necromancy and Electromagnetism, not to mention Astrology, Force Field, Illusion, Transformation, and Summoning, which he had not made any outstanding achievements yet.
"No." Lucien replied.
Gaston praised, "Lucien, you have the best personality of all the talented arcanists that I've ever seen. There's one other thing. I want to establish my own research institute like you, but in the microscopic field, with the Atom Institution in front, the Congress will definitely favor you. So, I'm planning to pursue another direction other than the new alchemy. Do you have any suggestions? What other fields in the school of Elements are worth paying attention to? "
Lucien could almost imagine that more and more similar research institutes and centers would be established. The sorcerers were not idiots. After the new alchemy was proposed, they would not only be convinced of their own talents, but also see the advancement of the research form, both in terms of results and in terms of funding.
Thinking for a moment, Lucien said solemnly, "I believe that the studies on artificial synthesis of life materials are far behind the current arcana development. It's a field that deserves to be explored."
"Thank you." Gaston thanked him sincerely.
After the call, Lucien smiled at the students who had not left yet out of curiosity, which made them feel creepy.
"Master, what's the matter?" Heidi, who was the boldest of them all, asked in a shivering voice. Was there going to be more exercises or test papers? They were almost middle-rank sorcerers!
Lucien shook his head with a smile. "Don't worry. I'm just trying to find something for you to do."
That was exactly what they were worried about! Layria, Sprint, and the rest of them all put on a bitter expression.
"As you heard just now, I'm going to fully assume the responsibility of a member of the Arcana Review Board. So, as my students, you have to be responsible for the paper review work that I assign, just like the students of other members." Lucien stopped smiling and said.
Exhaling at the same time, Sprint, Katrina, and the rest of them were surprised and relieved. It was such a wonderful feeling to review other people's papers. But soon, they were all frustrated.
Chely said timidly and unconfidently, "Master, although our arcana level is three or four, and we're already middle-rank arcanists, it's because we've been studying in the Atom Institution with you. What we've seen and heard are all the cutting-edge things in the field of elements. It's very easy for us to get arcana credits."
"In fact, it's only been three or four years since we left school, and we haven't grasped a lot of knowledge yet. Our foundation is very unstable. If we review other people's papers, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of problems and you'll be punished."
Including Sprint, who was the most confident, all the other students nodded in agreement. One would fall if he stepped too fast.
"This is the way to improve your foundation of arcana. I'll review every paper that you review. If I find any mistakes, the reviewer will have to write a report to me about why the mistakes were made and what you can learn to avoid them. Just so you know, in the next couple of years, my reviews will be very careful and strict until you're on the right path. "Said Lucien solemnly.
"Yes, master." Seeing that Lucien was serious, the students immediately agreed.
Then, Heidi touched her cheeks in relief and chuckled. "In fact, reviewing papers is not bad. It's the fastest way to establish one's own knowledge system. I was so scared earlier. I thought that you were going to give us ten knowledge points and exercises like before. "
"That's a good suggestion. When I have time, I'll try to come up with a set so that you won't be lonely before you become an archmage." Lucien had planned to modify the Ten Volumes of Landau, but many of them involved the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and he couldn't bring them out yet. When those two fields were developed to a certain extent, his students and more arcanists would be blessed.
"What?" Heidi's face was pale, as if she sensed the eyes of Sprint and the rest of them.
If the archmages weren't lonely before, then their lives would really be lonely …
At this moment, the smile on Lucien's face was like the smile of a devil in the eyes of the students.
… …
Leaving the absent-minded students, Lucien entered his office and read the paper. Soon, he saw an article named 'Analysis of the Spectrum of Hydrogen Atoms from the New Alchemy'.
"… So, the Balmer formula was created based on theory and then matched the experiment results." Lucien understood where his harvest came from. It was different from the empirical formulas on Earth.
When he was about to read the paper carefully, Lucien's monocle became hot again.
"Who's looking for me again? How busy … "Lucien complained. He hadn't had any peace since the morning.
