Ti passed by slowly, but there was no sound in the eting room. Fleming's forehead was sweating. He had already read this paper when he ca over, but he didn't dare to read too much. He believed that papers of this kind of content could only be reviewed by a knowledgeable high-level mage; otherwise, it may cause an academic disaster.
The students of the high-level mage were sitting in distress. They saw that their ntors were reading the paper with extrely focused eyes, and there seed to be subtle waves of water in the air, which were the buzzing of magic.
Cornwall was the first to finish it. Because he was the creator of electrolysis, he quickly understood many of the contents of electrolysis in the paper. This seventh-ring mage's hands trembled when he read that Reiner had run electricity through ordinary water and finally collected two gases.
When he saw his own paper ntioned in the citations and acknowledgnts at the end of the paper, Cornwall had complicated feelings.
"Everyone, I think I need a laboratory."
He said, doing his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
"I think 'we' need a laboratory."
Lanchester then said. He had also finished reading this paper. Although he seed calm, the heart of the legendary mage was already turbulent.
Fleming didn't dare to speak. He watched several high-level mages put down the papers in their hands with solemn expressions, realizing that the possible consequences of this paper were not just the cognitive collapse of one or two mages that simple.
Everyone was silent and ca to a laboratory on the third floor, which was much more advanced than the laboratory of Luna Nova Magical Academy. All kinds of advanced equipnt were available, but these high-level mages focused their attention on a sink.
"Cornwall, you are most familiar with electrolysis, so you can do the experint."
Frederick looked at Cornwall.
"Alright."
Knowing that the boss of the rcury balance was trying to be humble, Cornwall didn't oppose it and began to use experintal tools.
The thod of electrolysis was very simple, and it was not difficult for these high-level mages at all.
But the phenonon was shocking.
Bubbles appeared at both ends of the electrode and slowly pushed the water out of the inverted test tubes. They then verified the gases in the two test tubes, including the results of various properties and mass of the elents. They were all the sa as ntioned in the paper!
What did this an?
This ant that water could be broken down, and the basic elents would no longer be "basic"!
Cornwall looked at the two test tubes and sigh.
He invented the electrolysis thod and was the first mage to find new elents through the electrolysis thod, but he ignored the most common substance, water. According to the inherent concept of the past, he believed that water was a basic elent and could not be broken down, so he missed this discovery.
He, who once broke the old rules, did not expect that he would miss this great discovery because of being fettered by the old concept.
"Magic is the process of constantly introducing the old and bringing forth the new. The replacent of old theories by new theories is a historical necessity. Everyone, I think you all must have so thought about this experintal phenonon."
Lanchester said, his voice was calm and his mind was full of thoughts. It seed that there was a volcano brewing underground, and it might erupt at any ti.
"This paper also makes bold assumptions about the existing combustion theory. Proposing that combustion is not a process of transferring fire elents, but a process of alchemical reactions between objects and objects of similar nature to Occles. In this process, the object and Occles form the Occles compound. It is a really interesting idea."
Mada Maria smiled. It could be inferred from the burning process of Hydra and Occles that the fire elent did not exist in the burning process, and this basic elent may not exist.
"How about negative mass, Fleming, I rember that this is the content of your paper, right?"
Eagles had always disagreed with the negative mass hypothesis of Fleming and others. The paper experint at this mont was powerful proof that the paper about the negative mass was wrong, so he looked at Fleming in the corner of the laboratory.
"This, forgive for my ignorance, your excellency..."
Fleming was at a loss for words. At least from the combustion reaction between Hydra and Occles, there was no room for fire elents to exist. There must be a problem with his theory, but Fleming was also unable to accept Reiner's theory for a while. So he could only fall into silence.
"Although this paragraph is not rigorous, it does reflect the pursuit of mages."
Robert pointed to the paper about refuting the theory that the fire elent had a negative mass and said.
It was written like this: I believe that magic theory should be concise and elegant. The closer it is to the truth, the simpler the expression of formulas will beco. Just like 1 and 0, they represent everything in the world and need to be explained by adding assumptions. So theories are undoubtedly flawed or even wrong. We should remove those aningless assumptions. If it is not necessary, we should not add assumptions.
This has been recognized by all the Excellencies. During the three hundred years of modern magic developnt, many theories have gone from complicated to simple, which made them believe that the key to the truth should be simple and elegant.
"According to this inference, if we can find elents similar in nature to Occles, can we classify them into one category?"
Lanchester had been studying the law between elents recently, but there was only a frawork, and he had not grasped the actual law. However, the summary of the combustion reaction in this paper at the mont inspired him. whether it can pass The role played in the combustion reaction for the regular arrangent of elents? It made him wonder if it was possible to arrange the order of the elents through the role played in the combustion reaction.
Not only in Lanchester's heart, but also in the minds of every high-level mage and every one of their students, countless ideas were constantly erging. They were at the forefront of academics and were not obsessed with the old theories. In fact, many of them believed that the fire elent combustion theory was flawed, and they were seeking a more accurate model to describe the basic phenonon of combustion.
With Reiner's paper, they had countless guesses that needed to be verified, and they didn't even want to stay here for even a second more.
"Frederick, buddy, I think the next ti we et may be at the annual eting."
Lanchester jokingly said that, in fact, his mage tower was located next to Frederick's mage tower. The two of them could almost see each other easily if they wanted to. Lanchester's words at this ti ant that he might want to stay in the laboratory for a long ti and he didn't plan to go out until the eting started.
"Hehe, it's been a long ti since I had such a state of mind."
Frederick smiled, then turned to look at Fleming.
"Then Fleming, the mage apprentice who wrote this thesis, I think we should invite him to attend the annual rcury Balance Convention in a week, what do you think?"
"Yes, yes."
Fleming was dazed, then nodded slightly
