In April, 827, in Renstadt, the breeze was warm, and the spring sun was shining.
Imitating her idol, Queen Natasha, Heidi sat in a teahouse on the street of Rose Avenue in a neat female Knight costume, enjoying the soothing piano music and reading the Herald of Arcana and Magic on the table casually.
After the South Church was banished, the terms arcana, magic, and alchemy were more and more popular among the people. Even though many people did not understand the sophisticated arcana theories and did not have remarkable magic talents, they were still curious about the mysterious field that emitted infinite charm.
Also, as more and more generic schools and Bluphlei schools were established, and more and more ordinary people could read, "Arcana Voice" could no longer satisfy some of the citizens who craved deeper understanding. They often listened to "News of the World" and knew the interesting things that happened in the world of arcana and magic. They admired the famous arcanists and sorcerers as much as they admired musicians and playwrights.
In their lives, anyone who could discuss the cutting-edge arcana would be regarded as very fashionable and cool, even if they only talked about the dizzying words but did not know the specific meaning at all.
Therefore, the popular version of "Allyn Impression", such as the Herald of Arcana and Magic, was born. Its circulation was surprisingly good. According to Heidi's noble friends, many nobles were planning to run a similar newspaper.
Heidi picked up her cup of black tea and took a sip as she leisurely read the newspaper.
"After Prince Lucien Evans, 'Atom Controller', proposed a way to solve the radiation problem by quantizing the electromagnetic field, Mr. Annick and Sprint respectfully named it 'secondary quantization' and applied it to the electron system, achieving remarkable results. The two arcanists who won the Holm Crown Ring and the Silver Moon Medal for the electron spin model at such a young age have shown their talents again."
Reading the news that did not involve any specific theories, Heidi couldn't help but click her lips. Although she could keep up with Annick and Sprint in the microscopic domain and understand the complicated theories, she was not as distinguished as them. She only had a few achievements that were not exactly shocking. Her studies in the field of "artificial intelligence", however, were quite fruitful.
After many conversations with her teacher and countless thoughts and experiments, she, Chelly, Lowi, and Alfalia came up with a general plan for the preliminary design of "artificial intelligence", which was nicknamed "Heidi Chelly Artificial Intelligence System" by her teacher.
As for the corresponding alchemical products, with the help of Katrina and Layria's knowledge of materials, the guidance of "Magic Crystals" established by Hathaway and Hellen, and the influence of her teacher's "ingenious ideas", with the help of many amazing spells, and with the joint studies of hundreds of arcanists in similar fields, after more than a year of hard work, the most fundamental components had been found. The electron tubes that they had designed before had been transformed into smaller and simpler transistors.
"However, the current arcana theories cannot fully explain the mechanism of transistors. They can only be roughly manufactured and applied with magic, which requires a high level of magic and cannot be popularized at all. Can we only use the electron tubes for a long time?" Heidi raised her right hand and scratched her hair, deeply troubled by the problem.
Remembering that it was exactly because of the problem that she accepted a random quest and went to Renstadt to relax, Heidi decided not to dwell on it for now. Therefore, she drew back her thoughts and continued reading the content of "Herald of Arcana and Magic".
"Mr. Douglas, 'Emperor of Arcana', has announced two solutions of the Evans gravitational field equation. He believes that one of the solutions describes the special celestial body that is formed when a lot of matter is concentrated at a point in space. It will form a 'horizon' around it, and once it enters, even light cannot escape. It is the most terrifying celestial phenomenon that can swallow everything. Therefore, it is known as' black hole '.
"The other solution, on the other hand, is a supplement to the first solution. It describes the charged black hole that is formed by charged matter, but the previous' black hole 'is neither charged nor rotating …"
"Black hole …" Heidi murmured to herself. As a sorcerer close to the senior rank and a student of a grand arcanist, she knew much more than such newspapers. "Mr. President also believes that the Host Star of Destiny that corresponds to a black hole is the reason why the Untraceable Fates appear. They are not really traceless, and they can be confirmed by indirect observation … That seems to be the reason why my teacher's fate is mysterious. Does he have a binary star system made of a regular Host Star of Destiny and a black hole? "
Shaking her head, Heidi secretly speculated, "After Mr. President observes the traces of black holes in space and confirms the arcana significance of the two solutions, his gravitational spells will definitely be even more terrifying. Well, my teacher will be the same."
Although it was impossible to create a real black hole, Douglas could certainly simulate it in his cognitive world and project it out, resulting in extraordinary effects. As the constructor of the field equation, Lucien naturally had similar benefits.
At this moment, a few young people who seemed to be students of the fifth generic school nearby began to read the newspaper in a low voice. "Mr. Fernando, the Lord of Storm, has announced his discovery that the electron curse rays in the elemental decay show signs of energy non-conservation. Also, the spectrum of the electron curse rays is continuous and non-quantized …
"Based on that, he speculates that a tiny, uncharged particle will be released together with the electron curse rays in the process. It is a new particle that is different from other fundamental particles. He calls it neutrino. Also, he speculates about the possible situation of the decay of atomic nuclei and points out that the power of water, the only undiscovered force of the four fundamental forces, is probably contained in the process …"
"How impressive! He dares to predict a new substance with only some experimental phenomena! Arcanists are so cool … "The students discussed the matter in a low voice. In their eyes, arcanists seemed to be gods who grasped the laws of the world and guided and predicted everything through the fundamental laws.
Heidi looked at them with a smile, as if she were looking at herself when she was fifteen. At that time, she also felt that sorcerers were mysterious and powerful, so she had devoted herself to the endless ocean of arcana studies.
Turning around, she checked her watch, only to find that there was still some time left. So, she continued reading the Herald of Arcana and Magic.
"Ms. Hathaway, the Lord of Elements, and Mr. Fernando, the Lord of Storm, have announced their preliminary theory of the elemental decay based on the reverse cracking and the current studies in the microscopic domain. Of course, it is only a rough theory without a detailed magic structure … With their distinguished contribution, they have shared the third Evans Prize in Arcana and the third Holm Crown prize … It has found a new direction of energy for us and deepened the mysteries of creation."
"Ms. Hellen, the Witch of Iceland, and Ms. Hathaway, the Lord of Elements, have announced their research papers on crystals again. Their in-depth studies in the field in the past two years have established an excellent system … They are expected to win the fourth Evans Prize in Arcana …"
"Mr. Raventi, Mr. Morris, Mr. Gaston, and other arcanists have made breakthroughs in the study of the synthesis of life materials …"
"Mr. Dieppe, Mr. Larry, and Mr. Jurisian have independently applied the relativistic treatment to the Oliver-Brook wave equation, but they have also admitted that their attempts are failures. They can neither fit the current experiments nor infer the weird result of negative energy …"
"Mr. Felipe has submitted the standard textbook in the field of human anatomy, which has laid a good foundation for the new hospital system …"
Almost all the contents on Herald of Arcana and Magic were introductions of the most cutting-edge research results, but even so, they still filled several pages and were too much for the reader to take in. It was enough to show the rapid development of arcana in the past few years, showing a golden age where research results were surging out incessantly. It reflected the torrents of the age that were so crazy that the sorcerers found it hard to breathe.
"Twenty legendary sorcerers. Finally, we have more than before …" After reading the newspaper, Heidi somehow remembered the great development in the microscopic domain and the studies on the general theory of relativity were bearing fruitful fruits. Morris, the Silver Miser, and Annonis, the Astrologer, had both been promoted.
Heidi folded the newspaper and put it in front of her. She secretly shook her head. "Is there only good news? Over the past year, many arcanists have stagnated because of the probabilistic interpretation and the uncertainty principle, just like Mr. Donald … "
Just like before, most arcanists had been treating Lucien's "Basics of Quantum Mechanics and the New Alchemy" pragmatically, but the result was unbelievable, because it not only explained most of the experiments in the past but also promoted the development of the microscopic domain and predicted many things accurately. Therefore, many arcanists' attitude had changed.
The debates about the three principles had been going on in all kinds of journals and conferences. Douglas, Brook, Fernando, Oliver, and the rest of them proposed thought experiments to prove it, only to be pointed out by Lucien. Later, the arcanists who supported Lucien's three principles joined the debate, too.
The debate did not die down until Lucien submitted another paper. When he studied the exchange of particles with the wave equation, he discovered that when the particles were symmetrical, they obeyed Chloe statistics, and when they were inversely symmetrical, they obeyed Hellen-Fernando statistics. Therefore, the probabilistic interpretation was further improved.
"The peace can only be temporary. I have a feeling that a terrible storm is brewing …" Heidi looked at the empty cup before her in a daze, feeling suffocated. "The achievements in the microscopic domain in the past few years will be completely unified with the storm …"
At this moment, a square-shaped steel monster screeched to a halt beside the black teahouse. Then, a middle-aged man in a black woolen coat opened the door and walked over to Heidi. With a friendly smile, he asked, "Are you Madam Heidi?"
"Yes. Are you Mr. Buck from the police department?" Heidi rose with a smile.
Buck took off his black top hat and bowed slightly. "It's an honor to meet you, my lady. With the help of such an excellent sorcerer, the serial murders will definitely be solved soon."
Because sorcerers knew a lot of weird spells, the police department often asked the Congress of Magic for help in the form of missions when they encountered problems in investigations. However, Buck did not expect that the sorcerer who came this time would be Ms. Heidi from the Atom Institution! Such an arcanist who was close to the senior rank and had been at the forefront of the field for a long time was here for such a minor mission?
After the two of them sat down, Buck took out the photos of the crime scene and gave them to Heidi. The magic black-and-white camera had been somewhat simplified. At least, it was affordable for the police department that had real power.
Heidi accepted the photos and frowned. Even though she had performed many autopsies, she still subconsciously resisted such a cruel and bloody picture.
In the picture, the abdomen of an ordinary person was cut open, and all the internal organs were taken away. It was the filthy slums of the city.
