When it came time to the committee, Lucien happened to meet Norman, one of Douglas's students.
"Lord Evans, you are the truth of the elements," Norman saluted as the council had ordered.
Lucien smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, delay a lot of time, I used to only use salutations when I first met Your Excellency." ” "Lord Evans, you have something to tell the committee," Norman asked, "you don't have to go to such trouble, just use the communication tools in the tower to contact the committee member on duty, or let us go to your study." ” Lucien pointed to the conference room: "There are some things that are better explained in person. ” After telling the story of the Holt School of Magic, Lucien looked at Norman and said, "What is not clear?"
"Your Excellency, this is a very good idea, a teaching model that I have never seen before.
I also graduated from a magic school, and if I had been able to choose my own courses and teachers at that time, I would have saved at least a year.
Norman laughed and praised the new model, and the fact that he was able to be spotted by Douglas shows that his talent was amazing.
Lucien thought to himself that if someone else had proposed such an autonomous teaching model, it would probably be considered to have ruined the school atmosphere and the traditional teacher-student relationship, just like the predicament he had encountered at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but now, Norman gave very high praise based on his impression without careful analysis.
"Many apprentices are not very old, and their own choices will only indulge themselves, different age levels require different methods, and blindly indulging is definitely not a good way."
Lucien got up and said, "The year of the academy is limited to two years, you can graduate early, or you can apply for a one-year extension, you can draw up the specific things." ” "Okay, I'll organize a committee meeting as soon as possible to discuss and draft."
Norman had recorded Lucian's story in the magic circle.
Just as Lucien was about to leave, a mid-level arcanist from the Affairs Committee walked in: "Norman Commissioner, the confidential recording stone from Her Excellency the Ice Witch for the committee to compile into a discussion article. ” "Recording Stone" Norman gave Lucien a strange look, the Supreme Council had something else to order After Gaston found the materials to complete the magic phonograph, many arcanists developed similar products, and the Recording Stone was one of them, which was much easier to simplify than before.
"It's some pre-meeting discussions."
Lucien stopped his departure and prepared to observe Norman, although he could be sure that this discussion would not cause the mage's perception of the world to be shaken based on logic and prophecy spells, but he still had to judge the acceptance of Norman, a high-ranking arcanist, after hearing the recording, and adjust the release of the next paper.
Norman saw Lucien sit down again, thinking that he still had an explanation of what was in the Recording Stone, so he motioned for the mid-level Arcanist to go out first, and he opened the soundproofing and secrecy circle in the conference room before activating the Recording Stone.
"There are no experiments to prove the fluctuation of electrons," Hathaway's clear, cold voice came out.
Norman suddenly had a clear idea that he should be discussing Dieppe's paper and Evans's assessment.
As the argument continued, Norman listened attentively, and several of the lords represented his own views well, such as why the human body is not a wave if microscopic particles are waves, such as Hathaway's explanation of the special vibrations of particles that exhibit waves.
When Oliver asked Lucian for his opinion, Norman glanced curiously at Lucian, who was sitting in the chair in the back of the conference room, and it was difficult to understand why he would ask the question of what is a wave and what is a particle.
But after Lucien clearly explained his thoughts with the story of "the blind man touching the dragon", Norman's expression became very solemn, as if he was thinking about a profound question, and whispered to himself: "Big bats, big lizards, waves, particles, this is really an angle that has never been seen before" The discussion came to an abrupt end before Fernando could speak, and Norman remained in a pensive state, as if he was making sense of Lucian's ideas.
After a long while, he said with a little bitterness in his joy: "Your Excellency Evans, with your perspective and easy-to-understand metaphors, even if the electron is proved to be fluctuating in the future, I am not worried that the cognitive world will collapse. ” He then reiterates his understanding, seeking Lucian's affirmation: "It can be regarded as a thing that we have not yet fully recognized, and it cannot be easily defined by partial features, but can only be described within a certain range, which is not that day is equal to night, but that the sky can show two states, day and night, and the difference in observation time causes the difference in its character." ” It's much easier than directly accepting that particles are waves, and magicians always have a strong sense of awe for the unknown, and what the result of the experiment is, then describe it for the time being.
Lucien naturally couldn't say that it should be a superposition of "day" and "night", and seeing that Norman accepted it well, he got up and said: "This is a discussion of some current issues, mainly to make the arcanists have a more cautious and open attitude towards the unknown, and they can't simply substitute the original concept, otherwise it will be a blind man touching the dragon and replacing the face with points." ” "Arcane research is important, and the thinking of arcane research seems to be just as important," Norman said.
Lucien smiled and nodded, this is the methodology, the external embodiment of his own worldview, which is reflected in what kind of method and what kind of attitude to observe and deal with problems.
Norman saw that Lucian was leaving, so he sent him to the door, and sighed slightly melancholy: "Is it possible to solve the problem of new alchemy only by treating electrons as waves, this makes people feel that new alchemy has come to the most difficult moment, there is almost no hope, and the light that can be found is still unacceptable to itself." ” The existence of matter is real, and even Norman, an arcane who is inclined to wave theory, is a little unacceptable when he introduces the concept of waves into the material base, and has a sense of powerlessness and frustration with the predicament of new alchemy.
"You forgot again that it's just a mysterious substance that manifests the Fluctuating surname."
Lucien waved goodbye, and the reversal of opinion was not something that could be completed in a moment.
After seeing Lucien leave, Norman pinched his cheek: "It's hard to believe that it will have a fluctuating surname" As the president of the "Elemental Will", after the discussion of the surname article was sorted out, Morris quickly got his hands on it, looked through it, and a self-deprecating smile appeared in his silver-gray eyes: "On the one hand, there is new alchemy, and on the other hand, the electron has a fluctuating surname, which is really difficult to choose." ” "Teacher, this is the third time you've made a similar exclamation today, at least three times in the short time I've been discussing the issue with you."
Florence said with a slight complaint, "This kind of problem can be explained by worrying about so many fluctuations, it doesn't mean that it can't be done from a particle point of view, worrying about this is better than spending more energy on research, but your tone doesn't sound as wandering as the previous two times." ” She is a member of the Panel Committee on Competence over Research.
Morris laughed, "Very perceptive, Lucien expounded on the problem of electrons from a fresh angle, and if it showed a fluctuating surname, it would not be unacceptable. ” "Is it" Florence stretched out her hand to take the paper, read it carefully, and finally said with a smile on her face: "The previous discussion is really intense, but Lucian's way of thinking is also unique enough, this should be the internal factor of his repeated subversive results, it is difficult to see a metaphor to simplify the problem so much." ” "Maybe that's the essence of the two-dimensional surname."
Morris sighed softly, "Judging from the meaning of Lucian's words, he tends to use the fluctuating surname to solve the problem of new alchemy. ” "It's ironic that the cornerstone of the elemental realm, the fundamental code that describes particles, actually has to use the wave surname to solve the problem in the end."
Florence chuckled, her expression slightly gloomy.
Morris got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the gray weather outside, the heavy snow blocking the view, bringing a sinister and oppressive feeling: "The current new alchemy is in such weather, surrounded by white snowflakes, unable to see the direction of solving the problem, caught in a difficult predicament, can only grope forward step by step, even if it is unacceptable and difficult to reconcile in the past, as long as it can show the way, it must be firmly grasped." ” "This is Lucien's predicament, and it is also the predicament of all our elemental and alchemy realm magicians, we are like a besieged beast, we must struggle hard, use all resources, and seize every opportunity in order to escape from the siege and see a new dawn."
Florence followed to the window and sighed slightly: "I hope that this confused and confused situation, such a depressing cold and directionless wandering situation will end as soon as possible, so that we can pass through the vast night and reach the dawn where all the rays of light stain everything." ” "The night before dawn is the deepest and deepest."
Morris half-jokingly said that this was also the last obstacle before his understanding of the world was half-solidified.
High-level arcanists such as Lavendi, Gaston, Loclinne, and Marcus also had similar feelings when they saw the discussion article, on the one hand, Lucian's explanation made them more open to microscopic particles and began to have a change in their way of thinking, and on the other hand, they sighed a lot about the bottleneck of new alchemy.
After trying to get rid of the particles, I finally asked for help from the waves If even volatility doesn't solve all the problems, then is the new alchemy model wrong from start to finish?
In a dark and unknown world, the new alchemy seems to have reached a fork in the road that will determine its own fate "Maybe we are close to success, but in the darkness of the front and back, there is only one way to live, if you take the right step, you can ascend to the throne of the arcane and master the mysteries of matter in one step, and if you take the wrong step, you will fall into the bottomless abyss and be shattered."
Lavendi looked at the depressing scene of the heavy snow outside the window, and inexplicably had a premonition: The new alchemy has reached the most critical moment, whether it will rise like the sun and illuminate everything, or the silver moon will set in the west, and let the darkness cover the world again In the evening, after replying to many letters, Lucien re-entered the study, sat down in a chair, and then took out the numerous experimental data.
Plans are not as quick as changes, Lucien shook his head, picked up his quill and wrote: On quantum mechanics.
Outside the window, snowflakes are flying, cold and dark
