Inside the villa at the suburb of Allyn …
Blake, who was focused on calculating the redundant precession of the Morning Star at the perihelion according to the formula that Lucien gave him.
During the pauses that Lucien intentionally left out, he wrote with his quill nonstop.
Suddenly, he raised his head, with shock and disbelief in his eyes. Then, he rushed to his library and rummaged through the books on arcana and magic.
He was not a sorcerer who was good at astrology and force fields, and he did not remember the observation value of the redundant precession very clearly. He only had a vague impression of it, but the vague impression was like a fire that was burning in his heart, making him unable to control himself and his brain swollen.
The result of the calculation seemed to be very close to the observation value in his impression!
What did it mean?
What did it mean?
He picked up the books on arcana and magic and threw them aside after a casual glance. Finally, he found the primer in his distant memory — Fifty Puzzling Questions about the School of Astrology!
His hands shivering, he opened the book and saw 'The Discrepancy between the Observation Value of the Morning Star at the Perihelion and the Prediction Value of Douglas' Celestial Motion Theory — Page 39 '.
The sound of paper flipping could be heard, and Blake saw the eye-catching data at a glance.
With a thud, the hardcover book fell onto the carpet with a dull thud. Blake stood there with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was a stone statue.
They were so close. What did it mean?
At this moment, Lucien's voice came out of the magic radio again.
"After calculation, we can conclude that the redundant precession of the Morning Star at the perihelion is … It basically agrees with the observation value."
The sentence seemed to be enchanted, waking Blake up from his shock. Ecstasy and excitement surged into his heart, and the muscles on his face were twisted to a terrifying extent.
What did it mean?
It meant that the explanation of the nature of gravity was supported by a theory as well as a phenomenon!
It meant that Mr. Lucien Evans's general theory of relativity was the closest theory to the truth of gravity so far!
It meant that the problem that confused Mr. President and many other arcanists was not unsolvable and did not have to be self-consistent with the introduction of a supreme being! Mr. Lucien Evans's genius idea gave an explanation that completely surpassed the era and imagination!
It meant that the path of arcana was not wrong. Perhaps there were still many unresolved problems, but they were always on the path of solving them!
Although Blake barely understood Lucien's general theory of relativity, it did not stop him from inferring and calculating with part of the conclusions in it. It did not stop him from believing that the theory could explain the nature of gravity based on the facts, and it did not stop him from eliminating his confusion and frustration.
Perhaps it was because he didn't understand that he didn't question it and went straight to the answer.
Now that the nature of gravity had been explained, the other problems that made people doubt arcana could be resolved one day, too, as long as they kept exploring and studying forward and never gave up on the direction!
"Mr. President, have you heard Mr. Evans' theory? I believe that the confusion in your heart should have disappeared by now … "
…
"Through calculation, we can conclude that the redundant precession of the perihelion of the Morning Star is … It basically agrees with the observation."
When Lucien said that, Samantha looked at him in shock and excitement in the stream room. The problem that had troubled the school of astrology for years had been resolved in such a way, and it was also proved that Lucien's explanation on the nature of gravity was closer to the truth.
Although she had been convinced and admired Lucien's talents and achievements, she was still very confident in the field of astrology. Also, because Lucien had never made any achievements in that field, she had always thought that he chose the school of astrology only because astrology and prophecy were very useful. She did not know that he had such a shocking, profound, and unbelievable understanding about gravity and astrology.
Looking at Lucien who was talking casually, she had the illusion that Mr. President was explaining problems to her teacher and herself. They were both so peaceful and admirable.
Samantha thought in a trance. When Lucien solved the problem of the time error of the artificial planet with the space-time expansion effect of the gravitational field, her cognitive world that was like a starry sky suddenly seethed. Even though she had only roughly grasped the content and calculated the answer with the conclusion just now, her cognitive world began to half-materialize. Her teacher, Neeshka, was an authority in mathematics and one of the main creators of Evans Geometry and Tensor Analysis. He was only second to Lucien and Levski in that regard. Therefore, she was quite capable in the field of mathematics.
"This is definitely an epoch-making paper. No, it's definitely epoch-making!"
Around her, all the arcanists had the same expression, except that they were not as good at mathematics as Samantha and did not gain as much.
However, the fear caused by Douglas's talk just now was gone. As long as they did not lose their confidence, it was normal that they were confused! Lucien Evans' achievement at this moment, on the other hand, gave them great confidence and let them see the bright future of arcana studies. Even though they could not understand it, the conclusion and the final calculation did not seem to be a problem.
Hellen had stopped reading the paper. She decided to study 'Nature' for the next four years after she went back. She said to Fernando in a low voice, "I seem to have seen another Mr. President …"
"Sometimes, he is not so stupid." Fernando sniffed. He was about to criticize his student, but in the end, he gave a 'rather high' comment, as far as his standard was concerned. Then, he continued reading the paper.
This paper was the most difficult one that he had ever read. He kept nagging, "If Douglas reads this …"
In Allyn, in Renstadt, in Salivar, in Cocus, in Kasvik, in the Solar Islands, and in the Pearl Islands, the arcanists and the magic apprentices, whether or not they understood it, were all refreshed and confident.
Lucien cleared his throat and closed the backup paper. "This is my opinion on the nature of gravity. I should say that it agrees with the phenomena observed so far. I also propose a few predictions that await confirmation. I believe that as more approximate and exact solutions are found, we will have a deeper understanding of gravity and the cosmos."
As he spoke, Lucien suddenly changed the topic. "However, I can only say that my paper is closer to the truth, but it is not the same as the truth. Chances are that some of its loopholes will appear in fields that it is not suitable for in the future. Just like the localization in mathematics, it has limitations and applicability. With our current conditions, what we have grasped is only the relative truth, not the absolute truth …"
Seizing the opportunity, Lucien popularized some of the concepts that he only talked about in the Highest Council and the Arcana Review Board. Samantha, Blake, and the other arcanists nodded and had a deeper understanding of the development of arcana in the past hundreds of years.
"… I believe that everybody is confused by certain questions when they study arcana. They feel that they can't explain it at all. I've been through the same situation before, and I'm still the same even now. For example, I'm often confused about the principle and nature of the feedback of the real world … It's perfectly normal. You don't have to feel that you can't find the direction of arcana studies anymore. There are still a lot of things waiting for us to study. "
"'The more you know, the more ignorant you feel' is a philosophical saying. But I would like to add a sentence at the end. 'It is precisely because of this that we have to work harder and double our learning and research. We cannot let ignorance become our label.' In this world, thinking and exploring are the things that we should be most proud of."
Clap, clap, clap. There was no telling which arcanists in the stream room took the lead to applaud. They had more or less let go of what happened just now. Even if the conversation was true, so what? Who didn't feel confused and lose confidence? All they needed to do was to clear their mind and continue their journey!
Seeing that Samantha was about to speak, Lucien hinted her to wait. He smiled and said, "As a matter of fact, I completed an experiment just now and confirmed the existence of neutrons."
What?
The arcanists in the stream room and everywhere were all dumbfounded. Lucien Evans had discovered neutrons when he finished such a world-changing paper?
Was tonight the night of miracles?
All the sorcerers who were good at elements, such as Larry, K, Timothy, Ulysses and Annick, felt that blood was flowing into their heads and they almost passed out.
The discovery of neutrons meant that the basic framework of 'new alchemy' had been established, and the era of the great development of the school of elements had come!
Raventi controlled his body and listened attentively to Lucien's introduction of the experiment.
After Lucien finished, Raventi rushed into his own laboratory as if he had been enhanced with Advanced Acceleration.
Discovering neutrons from the conservation of energy and momentum after collisions had always been Raventi's idea. However, he had to experiment again and again to find the anomalies from the complicated data. Therefore, he estimated that it would take him two to three years to complete the experiment. However, everything was different now. With Lucien's experiment description, he directly touched the edge of neutrons.
After finding the materials and making the plate-like object, Raventi turned on the cyclotron and let the helium nuclei bombard the metal plate again and again.
When he captured the trajectories of the protons, he felt that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
When the data was recorded, he felt that his vision was blurred.
When he calculated that the rays that hit the protons were neutrons, there seemed to be two little suns rising in his gray eyes.
BOOM!
Dark clouds suddenly covered Rentato, and thunder rumbled in the sky!
"Somebody's cognitive world has half-solidified because of Lucien's paper and experiment?" Natasha looked at the sky outside of the window in surprise, delight, and pride.
Far away from Allyn, Kritonia watched the weather changes in Renstadt in shock after hearing Lucien's introduction. "Another archmage's cognitive world has half-solidified? Is it because of the explanation of the nature of gravity, or the discovery of neutrons? "
"Judging from the anomaly of elements and the illusion of nuclei, it's the discovery of neutrons." Benedict III also looked at Renstadt.
Kritonia found it hard to accept. "Before, we only knew that the progress of arcana studies would improve the strength of sorcerers, but a paper and an experiment could have such an astonishing effect?"
"Is Lucien's paper or experiment worth five legends?"
"Both the general theory of relativity and the new alchemy are far more valuable than five legends." Benedict III's voice became cold. "We didn't pay enough attention to Lucien Evans before. I'll raise his rank on the Cleansing List again and ask 'Night Executioner', the top night watcher, to deal with him."
'Night Executioner', the top night watcher, was a legendary sorcerer. Therefore, the Church had never counted him when they claimed that they had nineteen saint cardinals and five divine Knights (Melmax, Anthony, Belial, Stone, and Vaharall). However, when the Congress of Magic and other organizations evaluated the Church, they would still include 'Night Executioner' and consider the spellcasters of the Church as twenty.
Kritonia could not understand the influence of arcana studies at all, but it was so real. "Your Holiness, where are you going to rank Lucien Evans?"
"Thirteenth, the Fallen Morning Star, after all the top legends." Replied Benedict III emotionlessly.
After the explosion of 'Eternal Blaze', the top eleven on the Cleansing List had all become top legends. From one to eleven, they were: Douglas, 'Emperor of Arcana', Dracula, Danisos, the primordial dragon of time, the elven queen, the Bronze Duke on the first level of hell, Brook, the Prince of Abyss, the Emperor of Control, Fernando, the Lord of Storm, the Master of Boundless Ocean, and Hathaway, the Lord of Elements. The twelfth was' Silver Eye Count 'Rhein, who could borrow the power of the Silver Moon and be equal to a top legend for a short time.
