After finishing the paper on 'On Quantum Mechanics', Lucien did not submit it immediately. Instead, he studied the applications carefully and analyzed the new legendary spell that was formed inside his soul. Having received the feedback from the real world, his soul and his cognitive world were much more stable than before. He was already able to construct the fourth legendary spell model.
After a month of analysis, Lucien had basically grasped the weirdness of the legendary spell. It was an ancillary spell that could reflect some features of the microscopic world to the macroscopic world. For example, no matter how solid, amazing, and mysterious the enemy's defense was, there were bound to be uncertainties, and there was a chance that the attack and weakening spells that were enhanced by the ancillary spell would penetrate through the enemy directly.
In other words, at that moment, in the current world, determinism would collapse. No matter how many life-saving magic spells one had prepared, even if one had made a phylactery, and even if one's life was guaranteed by these preparations, after being affected by this magic, there was a certain probability that one would completely die.
Of course, for Lucien, the stronger the enemy was, the lower the odds would be. When he was faced with people of the same level, there was a twenty percent chance that determinism would be broken. When he was faced with President Douglas, who was at the peak of legendary, the odds would be less than one in ten thousand. As for the Silver Moon Alterna, the odds were probably higher than one in ten thousand.
"No wonder it gave me such a weird feeling. This legendary spell is truly a great weapon." After finishing the analysis, Lucien scratched his chin and remarked, "But what's the mechanism? Why can it reflect part of the features of the microscopic world to the macroscopic world? Can interference be ruled out? Why can interference be ruled out? "
Vaguely, Lucien seemed to have grasped something that was closely related to the soul and the essence of magic. Also, it was the exact opposite of the ability of his left hand to eliminate magic and divine power.
However, the inspiration was fleeting. Lucien could only shake his head and think of several names for the legendary spell. In the end, he decided on 'Evans's Hand of Uncertainties'. Although the name was tedious, it did not really matter. The spell was not a type of spell that could be cast directly. Instead, it could be stacked according to one's will when casting other spells, and there was no need for extra preparation.
Of course, as a result, the casting time of the legendary spell would be increased by one second, and the consumption of the spell would increase exponentially. Lucien could cast thirty to forty legendary spells in a battle without the help of potions. However, if those legendary spells were enhanced with the effect of 'Hand of Uncertainties', his spiritual power would be exhausted after seven or eight times.
After finishing the analysis of the spell, Lucien decided to devote most of his attention to its construction in the following month. Then, he packed his paper and went to the Allyn magic tower, ready to submit the paper to his teacher.
In the past month, the members of the Highest Council had been studying the wave nature of electrons and the corresponding wave function. Due to the shortcomings in mathematics and the unproposed concept of spin, they did not make much progress. However, the experts in mathematics such as Douglas, Hathaway, and Brook gradually had ideas and began to improve certain mathematical tools. The other arcanists, on the other hand, were mostly devoted to the design of the magic circles of electron diffraction and interference experiments other than their own studies. It was a pity that they did not make much progress either.
In the meantime, Hathaway, Hellen, and Klaus all visited Lucien. They were very curious about the studies on crystals too. Lucien, on the other hand, subtly said that he was mired in the gaps of mathematical tools and prerequisites when he tried to deepen the studies in that regard.
After hearing Lucien's words, Hathaway and Hellen did not say anything, but it was obvious that they were interested in studying the mathematical knowledge in that regard.
Perhaps, they would be remembered in the history of magic again for their great contributions in mathematics. Perhaps, they would be able to construct the complete system of "magic crystals". Lucien was quite optimistic about that, because they were actually more talented in mathematics than he was. Hathaway, in particular, was undoubtedly one of the top three experts in mathematics in the entire Congress.
In the meantime, Lucien and Natasha's life went on as usual. The pressure from the experts of the Church and Kritonia seemed to have been forgotten as time went by, which made Lucien's life quite comfortable. Apart from arcana and magic studies, there was music, love, the fun that came from their personalities, the fun that came from destroying Annick, Heidi and the other students, and the bad fun that he intentionally added in the preparation of the magic college, the Lanphlei School and the generic school.
… …
Instead of jumping to his office directly, Lucien put on a black top hat and strolled to the Allyn magic tower with his hands in the pockets of his suit, not for anything else but to see the red banner that was hanging outside of the magic tower. In the meantime, he thought about the things that he would be busy with in March. "Other than constructing 'Hand of Uncertainties', I have to start the production of the unique legendary items. I've wasted a lot of items in the past half year before I was confident about it."
Although he was an authority in the field of alchemy, Lucien had always been a theorist. He had barely produced magic items in practice. Concocting potions was much better than producing items. Also, the unique legendary item could not be made by other people. Therefore, he invested most of the arcana points that he earned from the new alchemy and the general theory of relativity into the purchase of materials, increasing his familiarity and confidence through alchemy experiments again and again.
Over the past half year, Lucien had wasted one item after another and wasted one material after another. Even though he had exchanged all the items that he had successfully produced, his arcana points were running low and he was almost confident enough to produce a legendary item.
"It's true that the familiarity can only be improved by burning money …" Lucien remembered the games that he played in the past and joked casually. At this moment, he had already reached the Allyn magic tower. He saw a vulgar red banner hanging on the gate, which was at the opposite end of the style of the dream tower, which was full of texture.
"The designated venue for the College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic."
The moment he saw the banner, Lucien couldn't help but put on a smile. It was too familiar and warm!
Below the banner, many sorcerers had already gathered. They were reading the introduction board at the gate in excitement.
"The Holt Magic College has abundant teachers. Middle-rank and senior-rank arcanists. Many members of the Arcana Review Board work part-time …" Although the introduction was a bit weird, it did not stop them from understanding what it meant. They communicated with the people around in excitement. "Is this a college for low-rank arcanists? Great! It's too painful to study on my own without a teacher. I can't understand most of the papers on the journals at all. "
"Yes. It was fine in the past, but the arcana theories nowadays change drastically every year. I can't keep up with them however hard I try."
"The deadline for registration is the end of March, and the exam will be held from April 1 to April 6 … Do we have to pass the College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic?"
"That's great! We don't have to worry that the sorcerers with connections will take the places. We can rely on our own abilities. Let's see what the test is about! "
"Yes! Yes! That's the fairest way! "
Hearing their compliments, Lucien's lips twitched. I hope that you can keep such an opinion and not curse me or the College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic in the future.
… …
Passing by the arcanists at the door without attracting anybody's attention, Lucien came to his teacher Fernando's library, only to discover that he was sorting his paper.
"Master, have you finished your research?" Lucien asked with a smile.
Fernando looked at him. "Yes, the exclusion principle, but it's not clear what the fourth quantum number represents yet. Have you made any progress in your research, too?"
Lucien took out "On Quantum Mechanics" in silence and gave it to Fernando. "I've solved it mathematically, but the specific arcana significance has yet to be explored."
Fernando took over the paper and asked cautiously, "Is it subversive?"
"No. It's from the perspective of particle nature and discontinuity." Lucien thought to himself. Although the most subversive thing was hidden inside, nobody would notice it until its significance was figured out. Also, he had already eliminated the parts that were uncertain about the principle.
"Particle nature and discontinuity?" Fernando smiled. "You proved the wave nature of electrons and asked Brook, Oliver, Hathaway and the rest of them to depart from the direction of waves, but you turned around and solved the problem from the perspective of particles. How interesting."
He opened the paper and slightly frowned at the definition and calculation rules of matrices. The strange and obscure mathematical tool gave him a cold and unfriendly feeling. When he saw that the multiplication of matrices did not conform to the commutative law, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the bookshelf on his opposite side. Deep in thought, he said, "Mathematical tools that do not conform to the commutative law of multiplication existed in the field of mathematics in the past and were applied to the analysis of classical systems. Also, your idea on matrices has something similar in the past. It has existed since a long time ago …"
"Yes." Lucien did not deny it. Some of the mathematical tools in the paper were exactly the ones that he wanted to infer Dirac's paper with. The arcanists were more familiar and concise with the mathematical tools right now. After all, the world of magic had its own special results, but they all had their own problems. It was also one of the reasons why the development of set and group theory was relatively slow. Therefore, he was also perfecting the foundation of mathematics.
Because he did not know what Lucien was thinking, Fernando did not pester him about why he was building a new mathematical tool instead of using the old one. He continued reading.
The rest of the paper was difficult to understand. Fernando read for a long time and calculated nonstop to make sure that it was correct and incorrect.
When the sun set in the west, Fernando naturally inferred the conditions of quantization with the new theory and confirmed the experiment results. It was not until then that he raised his head and frowned in confusion. "Everything is fine. I feel better now. But what arcana significance does this matrix represent? What is the meaning of its calculation? Why are there no real models? "
Lucien thought for a moment and repeated the old words again:
"Experience is unreliable, imagination is unreliable, and so are the models and images of imagination. Mathematics reveals everything."
