In the morning two days later, Lucien, who had focused on consolidating his strength in Babel, came to the thirty-fifth floor of the Allyn magic tower early and pushed open the door of the meeting room of the Highest Council.
This meeting room was not much different from the other meeting rooms that Lucien had seen. It was not very spacious either, and there was a regular long table made of cherrywood in the middle. The only special thing was that the twenty-four chairs around it were made of extremely precious materials. The velvet covering emitted a luxurious but subtle crimson color. Different patterns had been carved on the back to indicate the identity of every member. Among the chairs, there was a storm of lightning and a crown of arcana and magic.
"Evans, over here." Klaus, who had been wearing a naughty smile, pointed at the chair on his opposite side.
He was the legendary sorcerer who came first. Behind him was an alchemical puppet that looked like a golden-haired little girl.
Lucien looked at him, only to discover that behind the chair was the pattern of the internal structure of atoms where electrons surrounded protons and neutrons, like an infinite reduction of the celestial body motion system.
"What a classic model that is destined to be short-lived …" With mixed feelings, Lucien greeted Klaus with a smile and walked to his seat.
"Mr. Klaus, you seem to have been here for a long time." Seeing that they were the only two people in the meeting room, Lucien greeted casually.
Klaus smiled casually. "Evans, you are already a grand arcanist. There's no need to be so polite. Just call me Klaus. I like to be early. Every time I wait for someone, I feel that I have extra time. I can think freely and daydream in peace. It's a wonderful feeling to enjoy the luxury time that suddenly pops up. Don't you think so? You're early, too, don't you? "
"That's right. When I think about others waiting for me, I'll be very anxious and find it hard to calm down. When I'm waiting for others, as long as they're not late, I'll be calm and not anxious. My thoughts will be boundless and scattered, filled with inspiration." Lucien also replied with a smile. He didn't expect that he and Klaus would share the same sentiments in this regard.
Klaus opened his hands. "So, we know more about life and enjoyment than they do. However, for me, the luxurious time is over, because I have a lot of questions that I want to discuss with you the moment I see you. The new alchemy emits a charm that intoxicates me even more than all my puppets, golems, and alchemical lives."
"If it's a question about the new alchemy, I'm happy to discuss it," Lucien said with a smile.
Klaus tapped the table. A pair of metal arms suddenly extended from the ceiling, holding a cup of hot tea. The arms said respectfully, "Mr. Klaus, this is your favorite 'Count Black Tea'."
"Evans, tell me what you'd like to drink." Klaus sipped the tea and said, "As a matter of fact, after reading your rigorous deductions based on the proton, the periodic table of elements, the relative atomic weight, and the same elements, I have no doubt about the existence of neutrons at all. It's only a matter of time before they are discovered. However, I have too many questions about the orbits, transitions, and radiations of electrons."
As expected … Lucien was not surprised by Klaus' confusion. After asking for a cup of 'Sky Blue', he said, "There are indeed a lot of questions in that regard. We can discuss them together."
The naughty smile on Klaus' face was gradually gone. "First of all, the transition of electrons that you described is a quantization process. It means that when it transitions from one orbit to another, it does not pass through the middle but simply appears there in a flash. It seems to be a space jump or teleportation process, isn't it? Is it the basic theory of our space magic right now? "
Because there was no way to explain the problems of space teleportation, jumps, and barriers, the development of space magic was very slow and had high demands. Even the big organizations such as the South Church and the magic ritual did not have the spare time to establish more permanent transmission magic circles. They could only manage to establish channels that connected their headquarters to the capitals of various countries. As for the provinces, counties, and cities, they had to rely on primitive methods. It was not until the preliminary development of electromagnetism messaging, wired telephones, and telegrams that the situation changed.
"Maybe it's related, and maybe it's not. I haven't studied it deeply yet. The transition of energy levels is just a preliminary explanation. Maybe there will be better theories to describe the problem in the future. We can only approach the truth step by step, but we cannot announce that we have already found the truth. "Lucien did not expect that Klaus would ask such a sophisticated question at the beginning.
Klaus nodded, understanding that the problem could not be resolved anytime soon. After all, the energy levels and transitions of electrons were still in the theoretical description of Lucien's' new alchemy 'and had never been directly observed by experiments. They could only be inferred by partial measurements and phenomena.
"The question is, why do electrons have orbits? Why do they have 'transitions'? Gravity makes artificial planets revolve around the world, thus creating orbits. The electromagnetic force only makes electrons crash into the nucleus of atoms in the end. " A crisp but indifferent voice echoed at the door. The beautiful and rigid Hathaway had arrived at some point.
Before, the studies of the new alchemy were in the phase of bombardment and searching for neutrons or other anomalies. Although similar problems existed, they were not mainstream. However, after the discovery of neutrons, the explanation about the orbits and transitions of electrons became the most important place in the minds of the keen grand arcanists and legendary sorcerers such as Hathaway. Also, it was obvious that Hathaway had considered the problem for a long time. She spoke fluently and naturally.
Lucien rubbed his eyebrows and replied, "In the microscopic domain, perhaps the electromagnetic force does not apply anymore. There are other forces that play an important role. Orbits and transitions are just hypotheses for now. We can confirm the truth with the feedback of experiments and observations."
Those grand arcanists and legendary sorcerers were truly perverted. Their questions hit the loopholes in the internal structure of atoms described by the current 'new alchemy'.
"It must be that electrons, protons, and neutrons have inherent properties that lead to the appearance of orbits, instead of imposing an orbit on electrons and requiring them to move in such a way." Hathaway was still not satisfied with Lucien's explanation. She said clumsily.
"Also, the model of electron orbits in the new alchemy can only describe the simple structure of one electron. The more complicated structures of electrons cannot be explained. Your theory of the original alchemy reaction with the exchange of electrons at the outer layer is very realistic, but it cannot be included in your model yet." A loud voice came from the door. The Lord of Storm, who had always been impatient, had arrived in advance.
Lucien stood up and greeted his teacher. Then he shook his head and smiled. "Sorry, this model is still in the preliminary phase. More arcanists are needed to perfect it."
Fernando nodded his head. Sitting down, he said, "I always feel that deeper mysteries are hidden in this question."
The four leaders of elements and alchemy had a deep and extensive discussion about the new alchemy. In the process, 'Absolute Defense' Ataman, 'Eye of Curse' Atlant, and the other legendary sorcerers arrived one after another and listened to their communication carefully.
It was not until Douglas, the president, stepped in with his staff, which meant that the meeting was about to begin, that the discussion about the new alchemy gradually died down.
Lucien seized the time to ask Hathaway, "Granny, when will Mr. Raventi advance into legendary?"
Lucien had been trying to reach out to Raventi over the past few days, but he failed. Natasha, on the other hand, was too busy dealing with the parliament, the cabinet, and herself to know the details.
Hearing that Lucien called her granny like Natasha did, Hathaway's right index finger bounced, and her voice became even more indifferent. "Raventi has returned to his magic tower and cut off all the connections with the outside world. He is focusing on sorting out his knowledge and accumulation, hoping to grasp 'Element Decomposition' that he analyzed earlier as soon as possible."
'Element Decomposition' was Hathaway's unique spell. She did not submit it to the Congress, but the members of the Will of Elements could learn it with their contributions. Lucien also planned to change the reward of the Will of Elements after he became a grand arcanist and a legendary sorcerer into this spell, so that he could improve his' Elemental Order 'with reference to it and turn it into a legendary spell.
As for 'Atom Controller', the legendary class, Lucien also planned to submit it to the Congress and the Will of Elements in exchange for more legendary spells. After becoming a grand arcanist, he would be rewarded with legendary items, and after becoming a legendary sorcerer, he would be able to choose a legendary spell from the Congress for free.
"I hope that Mr. Raventi can make a successful advancement." Lucien sincerely wished him.
Both 'Lord of Elements' and 'Atom Controller' should have a high compatibility with Raventi's cognitive world. For him whose cognitive world had half-solidified, the higher the compatibility with the legendary class, the greater the hope of advancement would be. As long as he grasped 'Element Decomposition', he would be able to attempt advancement.
Klaus smiled on his opposite side. "In the future, the meeting of the Highest Council will be like the end of the world …"
He did not say it clearly, but together with his eyes on Fernando, Lucien immediately understood what he meant. Before, his teacher alone had often turned the meetings of the Highest Council into violent and terrifying storms. Together with Mr. Raventi, who also liked to roar, it was undoubtedly the end of the world.
Fernando glared at Klaus, who pretended to drink tea to avoid the pressure. Then, he said in a low voice, "Evans, you have a lot of ideas on the invention and simplification of alchemical items. Let's talk more when we have time."
At this moment, Douglas stood up and looked around at the other eighteen members of the Highest Council on the spot.
"Today's meeting is mainly to welcome Lucien Evans to join us."
Applause burst out. Because the Lord of the Undead, the Monarch of Fate, the Sun King, Donald and Morse, another member of the Highest Council, were not here yet.
After Lucien stood up, Douglas said with a smile, "Our first topic is, when will Lucien's grand arcanist celebration be held?"
