Throne of Magical Arcana

With the help of Tataraling, the magicians who arrived first opened the closed door, allowing the scene in the room to be clearly displayed in the eyes of Samantha and Rachel.

This is a refreshing and clean study room, each book is neatly arranged, without any mess, the paper on the table is very organized into several piles, even if the draft paper is also stacked meticulously, every other place Every corner of the details fully reflects the character of the host Ha Wen who is strictly serious and sickly forced.

On the chair behind the desk, Ha Wen sat quietly, and a layer of clear ice crystals condensed on his body. Even if the temperature was like a fire in July, they did not melt much, but turned the surrounding air into a silky white. Frost.

Havin in the ice cube sits very upright, dressed in a standard high-tower magician dressed in a gray pointed hat and a wide robe, and combined with badges such as arcane spells on the chest, it is grandly like to participate in the "Evens Arcane Award" or Award ceremony of "Arcane Scepter Award".

His face was pale, and his expression stiffened with faint confusion, despair and relief. With a glass of red wine in his hand, he seemed to stand up to welcome everyone at any time, but his eyes were empty and not angry.

"This is really the way of death that Havin would choose, clean and fresh, full of grace ..." Rachel whispered to Samantha.

They all knew Havin. After all, they were also the tower's hopeful advanced arcanist. They were competing and motivating each other, and the relationship was quite harmonious. Therefore, they also knew Havin's character better, but now , The two of them are already high-level arcanists and magicians, but Havin ended his life with ice and snow magic, which has to be said to be two miniatures of the times.

Samantha thought of her wandering, confusion, and frustration during this period of time, and felt that: "In fact, in ten years, Havin can also be promoted to the ranks ... In fact, even despair, you should not give up lightly, if It ’s me, I will live, live well, see what this arcane world will look like, and see if we lose is worth it ... "

"Havin has serious obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. I have been trying to build a corresponding hormone magic to help him, but unfortunately ..." Rachel said some of them, teachers and Lucien Evans respectively concept.

In the past, although this kind of psychological problem has magic to deal with, it is only a short-term effect, such as using mechanized mind and other spells, unless a magician is willing to abandon normal feelings and remain constant like magic for a long time. It is considered a "complete solution", so there are not a few extreme or crazy characters in ancient magicians!

Due to the relationship of good friends, Samantha is no stranger to the development of psychological arcane. He nodded slightly: "In addition to the help of magic, daily enlightenment is needed, but there is always a lack of basic theory in psychotherapy. Little by little converge into a complete system. "

In the speaking room, the two walked into Havin's room-as Havin's friend, and also a high-level magician, the rest of the arcanists defaulted their authority to deal with this matter.

Thanks to Havin's "good habits", Rachel and Samantha did not spend much time looking for them, and simply found an unsealed letter at the corresponding position on the desk.

The patterned paper in the letter, with a light fragrance of the scroll, folded into a square and square look.

Rachel didn't care. After careful inspection, she opened the stationery and read the contents above gently:

"... the debate over the past period has exhausted me. I can't imagine the foundation of the entire galaxy will be overturned. No, it is the loss of certainty in the entire physical world ... I keep arguing with people and arguing with people. The development is in the opposite direction ... "

"... Looking back at the rapid development of arcane in recent years, I feel deeply confused. The things we are afraid of, afraid of, and desperately resisting now happen to be the product of the theory we rejoiced and satisfied before. How ridiculous ... "

"... My brain is constantly thinking about difficult and even contradictory problems. I can't get quiet in a second, but my thinking can't solve any dilemma. I'm tired and exhausted. I want to end this. life……"

"... I made a cowardly decision, I think I can't catch up with the development of arcane art, and I can't accept this kind of development. I hope to return to the golden age of determinism in" Dream "..."

After reading this letter full of exhaustion, despair, and daze, Rachel suddenly felt a little empathy. Except for the few, most of the arcanists probably had similar feelings, only the depth was different.

"Havin ... oh ..." She wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

All the magicians who came here fell silent, as if mourning for Havin and being sentimental for themselves.

Samantha withdrew her gaze from Havin's body and looked out the window. The sun at noon in July was so brilliant, but so dazzling.

Time passed by one minute and one second, Rachel cleared her throat and prepared to arrange the next thing. At this time, a high tower magician came from the elevator with a thick book in his hand: "" Nature "The special issue" Mathematics and Basics "was released!"

His voice was obviously joyful, and just a brief glance seemed to show him a rigorously structured mathematical palace.

"" Basics of Mathematics and Physics "?" Samantha asked subconsciously.

The tower magician rejoiced loudly and answered: "Yes, Lord Evans' answer to many current mathematical problems. Through these answers, he built a densely-rooted and solid mathematical system!"

He could only answer that, because he had to read it carefully in the future. Suddenly, he discovered the situation in the study: "Ha, what happened to Havin?"

Another magician briefly told him the course of events and Havin ’s last words. He was annoyed and regretfully said: "I should have come up earlier. If Havin sees the book" Basics of Mathematics and Physics ", he will definitely reignite the study. Mathematical enthusiasm. I had similar confusion and frustration some time ago, but now these emotions cannot extinguish my enthusiasm for mathematics. It turns out that we still have so many things to do! "

Samantha and Rachel listened to his exaggeration, and couldn't help asking for the books he bought for him in his storage bag. They read them directly in the study room of Havin.

Although they did n’t have time to look at the specific derivation process, Lucien ’s proposal or redefinition of some concepts in the field of mathematics such as number theory, sets, groups, domains, topologies, etc. made them refreshing. It seems that the past scattered and random research Formed an inseparable whole, connected by flesh and blood.

Many of the contents of this book do not exceed their knowledge, because it is based on the current research in the field of mathematics and science, and has been integrated and further elaborated. The new concepts proposed in it are not very difficult to understand, not only have Rigorous logical deduction process, and it just hit the current difficulties encountered by the high tower arcanist.

Looking at this book, Samantha, Rachel and others seem to see the formation of new directions in the field of mathematics and science, and see an extremely broad world!

"His Lord Evans used to say that mathematics and science cannot rely on arcane and magic, and can not only serve to solve their problems. It should be an independent theory based on rigorous deduction and deduction. It has its own problems. It cannot be because of Do n’t pay attention to them if you do n’t use them. ”Rachel suddenly sighed.“ I remember these words very clearly and feel very reasonable. But in actual research, I still ignore many problems. Now, I fully understand What it means. "

She swept away the grief, confusion and confusion before, and she seemed quite alive, seeming to rekindle her passion.

Samantha was also very touched and said: "In the past, when applying scattered mathematical knowledge to solve problems, although it finally achieved its purpose, it always felt very obscure and difficult. It seems that there are invisible walls around us that are blocking our efforts, and Now, those walls are gone ... "

"Well, Lord Evans also conducted an in-depth analysis of axiomization, and gave a complete axiom system for the geometry of the tower." An arcanist said the content of the latter part, although Lucien proposed the axioms very early. The arcanist also has some research and application in practice, but after seeing this high-tower geometric axiom system, he still feels faintly that the basic viewpoint of mathematics seems to have changed quietly.

In the heated atmosphere of discussion, Samantha suddenly stood up, put a copy of the book in his hand and put it in front of Havin, and then lit it with a flame.

"With the foundation of" Mathematics and Physics ", the world after your death will be full of colors," she whispered.

Other arcanists also calmed down, quite sighed in their hearts. Fortunately, this time "Basics of Mathematics and Physics" was released.

After dealing with the events of Havin, Rachel, Samantha and others left his room one after another. In the process, an arcanist took the time to continue to read: "'The current difficult problems in mathematical research'?" "

"... Any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers ..." After he finished reading the question, he fell into a sluggish thinking.

"Four-color question?" The other arcanist turned to the next page.

After hearing their words, Samantha and Rachel glanced at each other and quickly turned to the back.

For a moment, the corridor was filled with a statue-like arcanist, who kept muttering something in their mouths, their expressions blank but crazy.

After not knowing how long, the footsteps awakened Samantha and Rachel, and then saw the circle of vertigo in each other's eyes.

As a result, Rachel said with a smile: "These questions are terrifying. At first glance, it seems very simple, but if you think deeply, you will find that the difficulty is extremely extreme ..."

"So, even Lord Evans was stumped." Samantha smiled rarely.

"The last question, the barber paradox?" Rachel saw the last few pages, "... a barber in a small town made a promise after something, 'I only help all the people in the town who don't cut their own hair. 'Haircut', may I ask, should he cut his hair? What is the problem? "

"This ..." After Samantha thought a little deeper, the book in his hand fell to the ground.

Boom, the rest of the arcanists who heard Rachel's words also let the book fall to the ground in amazement.

This is a well-known paradox about set theory. At the current level of research, this means a shake of set theory, which is the foundation of the field of mathematics. Therefore, it can be said that this paradox makes people doubt. The effectiveness of the basic structure of the entire mathematical field!

"Just just rejoiced in the perfection of set theory, and now I have to face the horror and despair that comes from it ..." An arcanist said something similar to Havin's last words.

…………

Elestin and Nord Daniel wandered around the city of Allinge, and under the shade of the trees, many arcanists were studying leisurely and painstakingly.

"It's really hard, no wonder that the Magic Council can develop so quickly." Elestin sighed, then looked at one of the young magicians curiously, "What book is he reading?"

"Mathematics ... Basics ..." Nordanil recognized them word by word with his strong vision.

"Mathematics ..." Elestin nodded, just turning around to leave, but he heard Nord Daniel add suspiciously: "These words have been drawn with a red cross on them, and there are other handwritten words below ... … "

Elestin became more curious: "What word?"

Nodaniel once again distinguished carefully: "Devil ... Book ..."

"" Devil's Book "?" Elestin repeated puzzledly.
