Lucien said innocently, "I just had an idea based on the amazing result that electrons have the nature of waves, so I revised and abandoned some of my previous ideas."
"Treating them as waves to deal with the problem of orbits?" Fernando knew that the quantized orbits would naturally be inferred in that way.
Lucien shook his head. "It's not entirely impossible to solve the problem, but I have another idea. When this path doesn't work out, I'll go back to the perspective of waves."
"Not from the perspective of waves like electrons?" Fernando had always been solemn in arcana discussions. He did not understand what Lucien could relate to from the experiment result.
Lucien said solemnly, "It's based on the thinking part of the phenomenon. As I said earlier, 'we can only deal with the problems inside the atom based on the phenomena and results that can be actually observed'. We cannot base it on the original concepts that cannot be directly observed, such as the orbit, just like we can only describe the electrons with the features of waves and particles."
"Then we can infer it with mathematical tools?" Asked Fernando with interest.
Lucien nodded. "Yes. Leaving aside the arcana significance of some things, we can connect the problems inside the atom with the problems in the real world with mathematical tools."
"Didn't you say that the microscopic domain cannot be equated with the real world?" Fernando was more or less confused.
Lucien smiled. "That's why we can use mathematical methods. The microscopic world and the real world indeed follow different laws, but when the laws of the microscopic world are extended to the real world, the observation results must be consistent with the classical laws, or we cannot explain why we can exist for real instead of turning into waves. Therefore, we will not consider the arcana implications of the changes of the laws for now. We will construct a model that is similar to the classical theories with pure mathematical tools so that the solution will be consistent with the experiment results. Then, we will discuss the actual symbolism of the model."
"This is the most primitive and classic approach, but we have forgotten it for a long time." Fernando sighed. At the very beginning, before the concepts took shape, many theories were constructed from the results of the exploration of the world and the experiment data. There were functions first, and then the practical significance of functions was discussed. However, as more and more theories and concepts were created, the arcanists were bound accordingly after they could explore the world with the previous concepts and definitions easily. "Then, where do you plan to start?"
Lucien did not hide it. "Of course, I will start from the sum of the observable information of the system inside the atom. That is, I will introduce a state function based on the general state of the system. Then, I will use the observable arcana concepts as operators to manipulate and change the state function to obtain the corresponding measurement results. The results must agree with the experiment results."
Fernando was silent for a while, as if he were considering the meaning of Lucien's words. In the end, he praised, "It's a very novel idea. Introducing the state function in the field of thermodynamics into the system inside the atom and using observable arcana concepts as operators. I'm afraid that this inspiration can only come from those who are interested in pure mathematics. However, cold and complicated mathematical models can only be accepted by the general public after they show their arcana significance."
He did not ask for the specific content, which was Lucien's own work unless Lucien asked for it himself. "You've found a new way of thinking. You should be able to construct a theoretical system very soon. I hope that it will bring good news to my research."
"Master, what are you studying?" Lucien asked curiously.
Fernando said solemnly, "Two directions. Firstly, I've discovered that the abnormal splitting experiment can only be solved by introducing half of the quantum numbers, which is contradictory to the previous belief that quantum numbers can only be integers. Secondly, I've gained some inspiration from my previous studies, and I believe that there cannot be two identical electrons in an atom, which means that at least one of their quantum numbers must be different."
So far, three quantum states about electrons had been discovered.
"This seems to be able to preliminarily resolve the distribution of electrons and the exchange of electrons in the old alchemical reactions. It will provide some theoretical guidance for Mr. Gaston's studies on the synthesis of life materials." Lucien did not expect that his teacher could come up with the Pauli exclusion principle so quickly. He was rather surprised.
Fernando was not delighted but nodded. "There's still a long way to go. Like you said, this is a field that was unimaginable in the past. Also, I'll be in charge of the forward base in the World of Souls at the beginning of next year."
Since the Lord of the Undead betrayed the World of Souls, the Congress had established a base near the gap of the World of Souls in Heidler to explore the World of Souls. Because they suspected that the disappearance of Maskelyne, Viken and other legendary sorcerers had something to do with the World of Souls, they had been very cautious during the exploration. After several years, the forward base had been pushed to the depths of the World of Souls. Also, a legendary sorcerer, preferably a grand arcanist, would be guarding the base at all times.
"Master, you must be careful." Said Lucien concernedly. The World of Souls was as dangerous as the depths of hell. Also, when he checked Adol's memories with the permission of the Highest Council, he saw an unimaginable picture that was quite shocking.
In Adol's memories, in the soundless, silent world, everything was covered in black, white and gray, and at the center of everything was a splendid black palace that was half the size of the Kingdom of Holm. The high spire pierced into the sky and into the void, as if it had connected the sky and the earth of the World of Souls.
In the area that Adol could enter, terrifying specters were everywhere. There were primeval vampires, mummies, Specter Lords, and 'Servants of Death', which was the name of a type of specter. There was not a real God of Death, but there were Skeleton Kings, Dragon Liches, and 'Demigod-liches'. The number of legends was almost equal to the total of the three major organizations. Thankfully, most of the specters were unintelligent and acted based on their natural instincts. They were not as good as the Congress as a whole.
Of course, the Congress couldn't devote all the legendary forces to the exploration, which would give the South Church and the North Church an opportunity. Also, nobody knew what other monsters were hiding in the depths of the Temple of Spirits.
What shocked Lucien the most was the 'Furnace of Souls' inside the Temple of Spirits. It was located at the deepest place that Adol could reach. It was a grey curtain that looked like a wall and dangled from the highest place that the Temple of Spirits could not touch. Inside it, the faces of souls were frozen. Their expressions were sometimes peaceful and sometimes twisted. Some of them were even enshrouded in the fire of souls.
Those souls were so dense that Lucien suspected that they outnumbered all the intelligent creatures in the world.
Also, except for the few intelligent legendary spectres who could touch the Furnace of Souls with the gift of the mysterious existence of the World of Souls, embed their subordinates in it, and burn it with white fire, the senior-rank spectres, including Adol, could only see it but not touch it. It was like the feeling when the sorcerers saw the ball of godhood during their advancement. It was high and far away that they could never reach.
Adol had observed the Furnace of Souls carefully before, only to see his own face in a certain place high up. He was already inside the Furnace of Souls!
Even though he was an emotionless specter, his spiritual power was still shaken and his soul was shaking. He could barely control himself.
Perhaps, the mysteries of souls were hidden in it. That was the only thought that came to Lucien's mind after reading the files.
Fernando glared at Lucien angrily. "At least so far, only a couple of legendary specters in the peripheral area have reached level three of legendary. Also, the means of communication have been set up, and the mysterious existence of the World of Souls has fallen asleep again. What danger can I possibly be in? You should focus on the model of your new alchemy! "
After leaving his teacher's place, Lucien went straight to the Affair Committee. The records of the meeting were circulated among the few arcanists.
