Throne of Magical Arcana

In the beginning of the month (January), the weather in the Holm Kingdom to the north is still cold, snowflakes are flying, and the cool wind like a knife is roaring.

In the magic tower of the Allinge branch of the "Silver Moon Song Alliance", the warmth is like spring, which makes a magician who walks in feels comfortable from the heart-although they have "endure elemental damage" and "resistance" "Cold" and other spell effects are protected, but the cold wind is still uncomfortable.

"Hey, Julie, Happy New Year, is today's" Arcane "coming?" At the beginning of the new year, it was only this aspect that allowed Arcanists to come to the branch magic tower with the cold wind.

The female apprentice responsible for the reception, Julie, did not know whether it was because of the temperature contrast between inside and outside, or for other reasons. Her cheeks were flushed. "Arcane" and "Magic" have not yet arrived. "

After she finished speaking, her eyes were bright and her voice lowered: "Several gentlemen, have you heard about the Universe Observatory?"

"What cosmic observatory?" The arcanists replied in a daze, waiting for others to fall behind after the New Year?

Julie's voice grew louder and said excitedly: "The news came from the Institute of Atomic Research two days ago that Lord Evans established a cosmic observatory in the starry sky so that arcanists with insufficient magic power can also study cosmic rays and vastness The unknown mysteries in the stars. "

"What?" An intermediate arcanist couldn't control his emotions, and his voice echoed in the hall as if he were blessed with sonic spells.

"Is it really possible to go to the starry sky to study?" Another arcanist's tone was full of doubt and disbelief.

Julie nodded forcefully: "Ms. Heidi and others have already gone up!"

The loud arcanian believed that Julie would not deceive herself in this kind of thing, so she raised her head and stared blankly at the ceiling, as if she could see the vast sky through the layers of magic towers.

"Starry sky ..." His tone seemed like a sigh, because most arcanists are full of awe and longing for the universe, but they are unlikely to have the opportunity throughout their lives. Who knows, there is such a thing now, The great development of arcane has really brought one miracle after another!

The other arcanist asked nervously and urgently: "Can we apply for the use of the 'Universal Observatory'? Or is it only qualified as an arcanist at the Atomic Research Institute?"

Before Julie answered, a clear and calm male voice sounded at the entrance of the Magic Tower: "Of course, Lord Evans clearly answered the Magic Research Committee. Every time the" Universal Observatory "is opened, it can be given to the non-atomic research institute Arcanist A quota, but you must submit your own experimental plan in advance and pass a rigorous review. You ca n’t let the arcanist who simply feels the starry sky waste the resources of the council. "

Arcanists in the hall turned around one after another, and some asked excitedly: "Really, Mr. Urisian?" Some others saluted honestly: "Happy New Year, Mr. Urisian."

It was Yurisian who was already in the seventh ring to walk into the magic tower.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the Magic Research Council yourself." Urisian laughed humorously.

At this time, the arcanists had recovered, and some people asked with concern: "Our experimental plans are closely related to our own arcane research. Will this leak out give others inspiration?"

He said it was very euphemistic, but the actual meaning was very clear. He was worried that he would see the direction and basis of his research from the submitted experimental plan, so as to complete similar experiments in advance and snatch the results.

"Relax, all the experimental plans are backed up like papers, reviewed by the members of the Magic Research Committee, and don't worry about being stolen." Yurisian replied with a smile, he is the most interpersonal relationship in the "Song of the Silver Moon" One of the good high-level magicians has a strong ability to handle things, so he only joined the committee.

Huh, several arcanists lightly breathed and let go of their concerns. Some people began to think about what kind of experimental plan to submit to impress the reviewers, and some people continued to ask: "Mr. Yurisian, I do n’t know the alliance. Is there any idea to establish a 'Universal Observatory'? "

Ulissian smiled and said, "I don't know, this kind of thing is not so quickly decided, but what is certain is that some legendary magicians and Archmage think that" Universal Observatory "is unnecessary, they are not It is not possible to study, while others think it is not suitable to build too many. This is a great pressure on the Parliament ’s “resource reserve”, and it cannot be blindly promoted before the manifestation of its value by Lord Evans ’“ Universal Observatory ”."

"So, although there are legendary magicians such as the Speaker of the House, the Elemental Dominator, the Storm Lord, and other supporters of the" Universal Observatory ", it is estimated that the tower will build another one in a short time."

"The other lords' concerns are very reasonable. After all, no one knows whether the 'Universal Observatory' is useful. Hurry and recklessness are not the style of the Parliament." An arcanist nodded in agreement.

Just as they were preparing to say goodbye to Uris, a beep suddenly sounded on the reception desk in front of Julie.

"Hello?" Julie connected the wired phone. "Ah," Arcane "and" Magic "have been delivered?"

Arcanists who were about to leave had stopped and waited patiently for ten minutes, then bought the journals Arcane and Magic from Julie.

"This issue of" Arcane "is really thick." An arcanist said to his companion with a little doubt.

Urisan did not go to his office to pick up his own copy, but looked at the periodical on the reception desk that had not been sold.

"Quantum field theory? A series of papers by Lord Brooke, Lord Storm, Lord Evans?" Some arcanists quickly scanned the catalog and found the keyword "quantum field theory."

Upon hearing his words, other arcanists were even more surprised and puzzled. Quantum knew it and the field theory knew it, but what did they mean together?Is that what you guessed in your heart?

The thesis of quantum field theory is complex and difficult, full of dizzying calculations. These arcanists once again realized the bewilderment when they met general relativity and matrix mechanics. Some simply skipped the middle derivation process and looked for conclusions familiarly. .

"Essence of electromagnetic force?" An arcanist blurted out in amazement. The voice was filled with consternation and shock. As one of the two most studied of the four basic forces, the electromagnetic force is among them. In the heart of the Song Alliance magician, it has always been the basic constitution of the world, the closest to the "real" "thing", when can it actually give the essence of electromagnetic force?Is this directly from jumping to running?

——Among the four basic forces currently proposed, the strong interaction force (currently referred to as nuclear force), although clear, may lack further research, and even the basic characteristics have not yet been mastered, let alone the forming theory, weak The interaction force is only the conjecture proposed by Fernando, has not been supported by other experiments, and I do n’t know when it will be cleared. Therefore, after the initial interpretation of the nature of gravity by general relativity, the essence of "electromagnetic force" is full Symbolic meaning.

There have been many conjectures about the nature of electromagnetic force by arcanists who are good at electromagnetics, but there has never been a complete and shaped theory, and today a series of papers in "Arcane" seem to show some kind of congestion in the brain. may!

Urisian was slowly reading the thesis. The front is based on what he is good at, so there is no difficulty, but after hearing this exclamation, he also turned back and looked at the part about the nature of electromagnetic force.

"Electromagnetic force is an interaction realized by a series of reactions that exchange photons between charged objects? Virtual photons ..." The hall was quiet, and I didn't know how long it was before Yurisian said to himself, this conclusion has Complete theoretical support, with a mathematical description of these simple or complex processes, whether correct or not, this is one of the breakthroughs after the discovery of the electromagnetic force after the Brook equation.

The other arcanists looked murky and could only barely read the conclusion, but even so, their eyes were full of shock and joy: "Is this electromagnetic force?"

If you can really clear the electromagnetic force thoroughly, then you and other magicians who are good at electromagnetic will get unimaginable benefits!

"Well, the three lords raised the problem of quantum field theory, how to solve the infinity brought by the divergence?" One arcanist turned to the back. It turns out that quantum field theory is not perfect enough, and there are still many problems to be solved.

Somehow, he was relieved by the fact that he was ecstatic and excited about the nature of electromagnetic force, but he always felt unreliable and seemed to be dreaming, but now he is more acceptable.

The same psychology appears in the minds of all the arcanists present. It is enough for the general theory of relativity, a fantasy theory that transcends the times, to appear one more time.

They exhaled quietly and laughed: "If you can solve the problem of infinity, you will definitely get the Evans Arcane Award and Silver Moon Medal."

Although they have little hope for this, it is not surprising that the middle- and high-level arcanists solved the problems that the big arcanist failed to solve. Similar things have happened occasionally in the past few hundred years. After all, the big arcanist masters Too much knowledge, too much accumulation, but will be bound by past experience, the general middle and high-level arcanist may not be affected too much.

"Huh?" A hypothesis of protons and neutrons based on the results of scattering experiments ", Yallo Blue Hathaway Hoffenberg ..." An arcanist turned to a later paper.

The scattering experiments mentioned on the topic, they are very clear. Since the discovery of neutrons, the scattering experiments of protons and protons, and the scattering experiments of neutrons and protons have been carried out continuously, and a lot of data have been accumulated. A few months ago, Lavendi and Morris found that in similar scattering experiments, whether it is charged protons or uncharged neutrons, the nuclear force (currently strong interaction force) will not change, regardless of the charge, which Contrary to popular belief, in order to explain this phenomenon, many arcanists have made assumptions.

"... Maybe we can think of protons and neutrons as the same kind of particle. I call it a nucleon, just like some electrons spin to the left, some electrons spin to the right, some nucleons are charged, some are not charged. Therefore, they cannot be regarded as different particles ... "The arcanist pronounced one of the words, and the tone was a deep shock.

In the paper, Hathaway introduced a new quantum number to represent this state.

"What? Protons and neutrons are the same kind of particles?" All the arcanists and magic apprentices present, including Yurisian, said in shock.

This is not that they cannot understand, but that they feel unbelievable and worship the essence of the world. Could it be that the deeper you go, the simpler it is?

"So, there are only three types of elementary particles: nucleons, electrons, and photons. Among them, the interaction between charged particles and photons appears as electromagnetic force?"

"Sure enough, the most essential and basic things must not be so complicated!"

"This is the truth of the world?"

Sometimes, it ’s not that the more complicated, the more shocking, it ’s simple enough to make people feel a thrilling beauty, so although the arcanists have not finished reading the paper, they have already tended to Hathaway ’s guess.
