Inside the Land of Truth …
Douglas inferred something with Lucien's paper and compared it with the known experiment data. In the end, he put down the paper and pulled his bow tie, before he asked in confusion, "What do the calculations mean exactly?"
He had read the paper too many times in the past few days. He appreciated Lucien's ideas based on the particle nature and discontinuity, and he was delighted that many problems in the new alchemy had been resolved. However, as time went by, his delight did not ferment into satisfaction or delight. He was not even as excited as he expected.
For sorcerers, the solution of a problem often represented a deeper understanding of the arcana field, which corresponded to specific models or laws. However, Lucien's quantum mechanics was not like that. After complicated calculations, it was true that the results that were in line with reality could be obtained, including the problems and quantum numbers that were discovered recently. However, there was nothing except for that. It could neither describe the internal structure of atoms more accurately nor provide the laws that were hidden inside. Everybody was confused. They knew the result, but they did not know why it was the result.
The matrix was like a gate that guarded the truth of the world. It was so mysterious and cold that everybody was excluded from it. Except for the arcanists in the fields of elements and alchemy, nobody else was as excited as they should be when the problems in the new alchemy were resolved.
"The matrix itself is not difficult. There were similar mathematical tools in the past, but after it is melted into the complicated system of the new alchemy, the calculations become a headache, especially when one has to consider the meaning of the calculations." Douglas shook his head and said in amusement, "Everybody has been locked into the maze of the matrix by Lucien. Even if he modifies it with the existing mathematical tools, the fundamental problems cannot be resolved, which is the arcana significance behind it and whether or not the formulas that are derived have specific arcana definitions."
"However, in any case, it is undeniable that Lucien's quantum mechanics is of great significance. We just need to spend more time exploring it."
Instead of delving into quantum mechanics, he put it aside and continued his efforts to find an accurate solution to Evans' gravitational field equation. He believed that the central part of the equation should contain the mysteries of the vast cosmos and the macroscopic celestial bodies.
Even a grand arcanist of his level was mostly focused on arcana. He might spare some time to study the new alchemy, the soul, and the electromagnetic field, but he spent most of his time on force fields and astrology. The general theory of relativity also gave him hope to explore the secrets of the vast space and find the path of demigods.
Just like Douglas, most of the arcanists realized how complicated and unfriendly the new system was after the initial excitement and joy. It was like the most reserved lady, coldly rejecting all the men and not letting them know what was on her mind.
More and more arcanists were having headaches because they had to imagine the internal model of the atom and give Lucien the internal meaning of quantum mechanics.
However, one day in the future, they would certainly regret their action of looking for the internal meaning. They wished that Lucien had never come up with it, and that the truth of the world was also a 'destructive behemoth'!
In that regard, only a few people were different.
After reading the paper in silence, Hathaway calculated in the clean library for a long time. The tea and snacks before her did not change at all. Then, she slightly frowned and was deep in thought, searching for the arcana significance of the system and the two quantities that did not conform to the commutative law of multiplication.
After failing to find anything for now, she gave up the boundless divergence and decided to start from the new system to solve the problem of the atom with two electrons. On one hand, she wanted to confirm the correctness of the new system and make up for the possible problems in it. On the other hand, she hoped to find the arcana significance through practice.
Fernando accepted Lucien's idea and gave up the idea of finding a model for the internal structure of the atom. He focused on the arcana significance and combined it with his own studies on the arrangement of electrons.
Vicente and Hellen, on the other hand, began their studies by exploring the arcana significance of Lucien's quantum mechanics and the features of electrons that boasted the characteristics of waves.
In the Kingdom of Electromagnetism …
After checking Lucien's paper, Brook nodded his head at first, affirming Lucien's idea. Then, he devoted himself to his work again, trying to give electrons a wave function. Since electrons showed the characteristics of waves and particles respectively, and the problem of new alchemy could be solved from the perspective of particles, why couldn't it be solved from the perspective of waves?
"Did I miss anything?" Brook said to himself in confusion. The wave function at the beginning was full of problems.
The more he deduced the wave function, the more he felt that Lucien's' mathematics first 'was of great significance.
In the Theater of Destruction, Oliver was caught in a similar situation.
… …
Because they were waiting for Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, Raventi and the rest of them to prove the derivation of part of the matrix mechanics, Lucien's quantum mechanics was actually published on 'Arcana' a month later. Also, the electron diffraction experiment that was supposed to be published in April was postponed to May. Otherwise, how could most of the arcanists who did not understand the complicated calculations judge the value of the paper on quantum mechanics?
The journal in March, on the other hand, made the sorcerers consider the questions in the unknown domain. They were amazed by Lucien's amazing perspective and accepted the idea without any difficulty. In the meantime, Fernando's exclusion principle delighted the arcanists who were adept at elements and alchemy, as if they had found one of the laws to analyze the old alchemical reactions. Lucien, on the other hand, was making all kinds of preparations for the production of legendary items. He had also constructed 'Evans's Hand of Uncertainties' into his soul.
On April 1, when the College Entrance Exam of Advanced Magic officially began, Lucien showed up at the central area of the Nekso Palace and went to the treasury of the royal family under the lead of Natasha.
"I almost let Alferris know that I was coming to the treasury of the royal family." Lucien said to Natasha in amusement. The guy had pestered him to 'borrow' 'Superconductivity', the Silver Moon medal that he did not need, to 'appreciate' it.
Natasha had seen Alferris, the crystal dragon. She knew how greedy Alferris was. "Hehe, I'm sure it will move to the treasury and settle down there! When it saw the Holm Crown Ring 'Element' on my finger for the first time, it even asked me if only a lady could receive such a beautiful and precious ring, and if a man could only receive a broken 'Iron Ring' like you. I suspect that if it weren't a male dragon, it would've probably married a rich man and a rich dragon to cheat them of their wealth. "
After making fun of the little crystal, Natasha smiled. "Which legendary material are you going to choose?"
Natasha had already told Lucien what was inside the treasury so that he could communicate with other legendary experts and find the materials that he needed and could trade for. Regarding that, the Grand Dukes Of Orvarit could only shake his head with a smile. Such secrets were generally only known to kings or queens. Even their partners would not be told in detail.
Looking at Natasha who was wearing a white court dress, Lucien nodded. "The Dragon Marrow Stone. Mr. Oliver wants it for his life extension ritual in the future. He has a Stellar Core that is suitable to host the special abilities of the legendary class, 'Observer of Time and Space'."
The Dragon Marrow Stone was produced in the mausoleum of dragons. The essence of the dragons that had reached the end of their lives had been condensed into brown, translucent crystals after a long time. Also, because of the air of death that lingered in the mausoleum for tens of thousands of years, such stones boasted the features of life and death. They were one of the most precious materials in the school of necromancy.
Among them, if the Dragon Marrow Stone was condensed by a primordial dragon, it would be a legendary material. Although it was not as effective as Fernando's ritual with a primordial dragon, it could still extend one's life for about a thousand years. Of course, those below legendary couldn't bear the effect and would die on the spot.
The Stellar Core was a 'relic' of one of the few collapsed planets in the star mausoleum. It seemed to have no mass, but under special circumstances, it could unleash enormous gravity. In the entire Congress of Magic, Oliver was the only one who had one. Douglas had received one before, but he had used it to strengthen his unique legendary items.
"Alright." Without any hesitation, Natasha opened the treasury and took the Dragon Marrow Stone with Lucien. Although it was a very precious material that could extend one's life, she was not reluctant at all.
Playing with the translucent, translucent, brown crystal in his hand and sensing the gloomy green inside, Lucien joked, "Are you not worried that you won't be able to find a material that can extend your life in the future?"
Lucien, who had been touched, was about to say something gently, but the words turned into mockery when they reached his mouth. It was unnecessary for the two of them to thank each other. Of course, Lucien's left hand had already grabbed Natasha's right hand, letting her know his feelings.
Natasha said like a Knight, "I believe that I can certainly advance into legendary!"
Then, she added in a low voice, "I must become legendary and surpass you!"
Although she said the last sentence firmly, there was a hint of "grief and indignation" in it.
Lucien immediately smiled.
… …
On April 8, two days before the wedding …
Inside the Atomic Universe, on the weird planet made of iron elements, Lucien was crafting his unique legendary item in the magic laboratory that he had moved over.
The glittering Stellar Core was placed at the center of the magic circle. It was a polyhedron the size of a fist, and pure light was reflected on every surface, constituting a dreamy scene.
At this moment, the Stellar Core had been melted into a weird liquid. The magic materials were embedded inside it under Lucien's control, making it twist and wriggle, as if it were trying to generate something weird.
Lucien knew that the critical moment had come. So, he clenched his right hand, and his spiritual power surged out, illuminating the peripheral magic circles that were deployed according to the advancement ritual of 'Observer of Time and Space'.
Everything was covered in vague light, as if ripples were spreading out, emitting the air of time.
Then, the light seemed to be attracted by something and collapsed abruptly toward the Stellar Core. There was nothing but oppressive darkness around.
The complicated structure and the indescribable patterns were fed back to Lucien's head. As someone who had never crafted a legendary item before, he did not have enough time to deal with it. Thankfully, he had the complete model of 'Observer of Time and Space' in his cognitive world.
In his mechanized mind, Lucien calmly drove the model of his legendary class with his spiritual power, allowing it to influence the process of fusion.
After the difficult beginning, Lucien began to work smoothly. The spells, gestures, and spiritual power were completed one after another. In the end, a cluster of silver colors burst out from the center of the magic circle, driving away the collapsed darkness!
After the light died down, a silver pocket watch appeared in the broken magic circle. It was exactly the size of one hand!
