"Douglas" Magic School, the top floor of a seven or eight-story magic tower.
Cherie sat in the classroom of the advanced apprenticeship class, listening to Vernia give a lecture on the "Elemental Basics", which is a course that runs through apprenticeship, formal, and advanced levels, bringing apprentices into the door of elemental magic from simple to deep.
"Heidi, Leilia, and the others are said to have more than a dozen arcane points, and they are already official arcanists......" Cheri thought about the situation of several good friends with great envy.
Vernia said from the podium: "...... The theory of ancient elemental magic is introduced here, and the current elemental system is based on Lord Hathaway's atomic theory. What is an atom? It is the most basic substance, a substance that can no longer be divided. The same atom constitutes this type of element, which has various properties and reacts differently to combine into all matter in the world. This is also the basis of courses such as 'potions' and 'alchemy'."
"If I had come to Alinge a year earlier, and now that I had graduated and left school, I would have joined Mr. Evans' atomic research institute like Heidi and the others, and started magical arcane experiments and become a real arcanist." Cherie, who was in a daze, was quite annoyed, feeling that she had wasted a year and had not even passed the basic arcane assessment.
Vernia continued her lessons, pleased with the dedicated advanced apprentices—they already knew the importance of arcane and magic learning, and understood that it directly represented power, power, and status, so few were slacking off and slack, completely different from the apprentices who had just started their magic school.
The high-level apprentices who have been expelled from the "Douglas" magic school for so many years due to learning attitude problems can be counted on two hands.
「…… I brought some pure elements, you first get to know them, and then through experiments to understand their properties, as well as their role in different alchemical reactions and magic potion boiling." Vernia took out bottles of magic-sealed elements and opened the magic circle at the same time, turning the podium into an alchemy platform.
Apprenticeship and formal apprenticeship classes rarely talk about the nature of the elements in such depth, but only lead students to understand the elements, know the basic properties, memorize the magic reaction equations, and focus on cultivating their hands-on ability to study magic.
The brilliant magic circle light pulled Cherie's thoughts back and saw Vernia hold up two bottles of elementals: "These are two carbon elements...... Atoms are the constituent elements, and carbon is the main building block of the human body......"
Looking at the crystal clear diamonds and the dark gray opaque "scales" with a shimmering metallic luster, Cherie had a strong shock at this time, even though she had heard Lucian's explanation a long time ago: "Carbon elements with different structures are like the difference between angels and devils......"
"And is it the main building block of the human body?" Cherie buried her head in looking at her slender and delicate hands, it was hard to imagine that it was composed of carbon elements that were different in appearance and "reality" in the bottle, "carbon elements can also be divided into carbon atoms, and the other elements that make up the body are also the same, is the essence of 'I' such tiny particles?"
Turning to look out the window, the sycamore-like tree was green, a man wearing a black top hat and a dark suit passed under the tree with a cane, and a graceful lady wearing a light purple cake skirt walked opposite him.
"Is such a personable gentleman, such a beautiful and wise lady, and such a colorful and gorgeous world all made up of indivisible little atoms?" Cherie, who has not yet officially stepped into the magical world, is a bit unimaginable.

Inside the Atomic Research Institute.
Lucian improved the magic circle that created the vacuum and tried the experiment again.
After confirming that the cathode ray was continuously deflected in the electromagnetic field, Lucian took a deep breath and began to adjust the magic circle of the magnetic field and electric field.
After a while, Lucian recorded the data and began to calculate the charge-mass ratio of the particles contained in the cathode rays in his mind.
Unlike the excitement, fear, and nervousness when calculating Planck's constant, Lucian was very calm at this time, like a machine without emotions.
If the mind is calm and there is no wave, there will naturally be no hallucinations.
Experimental movements in different places in the room may come from the stillness, Lucian was not affected in the slightest, and accurately calculated the answer:
"The charge-mass ratio is 1.76 times 10 squares."
Rumble! In Lucian's spiritual world, the meditation environment was regenerated and changed, and the different elemental light spots suddenly enlarged, surrounded by countless tiny rays of light, and the trajectory was mysterious and indescribable, as if it contained infinite secrets.
"This is electronics!"
Electrons that break the illusion of atomic indivisibility!
The microscopic world is far more complex, more exciting, and more incredible than the arcanists imagined!
…………
Lentat, in the abbey.
After listening to Bishop Abidal's story, a trainee pastor asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, why didn't God directly create man and all things, but created atoms first?"
"Daniel, don't think about what to do for the Lord! Since the Lord first created the atom, and the physical study of the world and the human body shows this, there must be a deep meaning in it." Abidar scolded the trainee pastor Daniel's question, which was a mortal speculating about God's thoughts!
If it was in the late stages of the Dawn War, Daniel would be arrested and taken to court immediately!
Abidar looked at the trainee priests below, who looked a little frightened, and his voice softened a little: "The indivisibility of the atom is the embodiment of its holiness, representing the Lord's domination over the world, which cannot be broken by the arcanists who claim to hold the truth of the world. You just need to remember this and be able to use it in your study of magic."
"Yes, Your Excellency." The trainee pastors replied respectfully.
Abidar nodded in satisfaction, ordinary priests only need to understand this approximate extent, anyway, everything can be attributed to the Lord - more in-depth study is easy to embark on the path of an evil magician, and it is also easy to have a chaotic situation of thinking under the endless theories of the Magic Council, and thus be swallowed up by the Holy Light.
For example, in recent times, the Magic Council's assumption that "energy is a share" has no impact on itself and other clergy, whether it is continuous or not, it is all created by the Lord!
…………
From those tracks, Lucian captured the wonderful symbols that perfected his "elemental order" magic, but it was not complete.
For him, logical derivation, formula proposal, theoretical verification, and experimental confirmation must be done before building the cognitive world.
Even if the cosmic constants of this world and the earth are consistent, we cannot blindly construct them according to the experience of the earth, otherwise it is easy to blow up our heads when we find that the two worlds are different.
Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth!
After memorizing the new magic symbols, Lucian changed the metal substance of the cathode magic circle core and the composition of the low-pressure gas, and redid the experiment.
…………
Inside the Glorious Cathedral in Holm.
Philippe Bell took out a piece of information passed on from the Holy City of Lance: "It has been confirmed that Fernando's newly accepted student Lucian Evans X is Lucian Evans, the dead musician in the City of Psalms. Sald has sent several night watchmen to help with this."
The Storm Master is a great arcane, and attention to him has always been one of the focuses of the church, so even if he just became his disciple, Lucian's degree of importance also increased rapidly, and intelligence information was conveyed to the cardinals and cardinals of various dioceses, and then he was quickly "recognized" by the people of the Diocese of Vaorit.
"Lucian Evans, who wrote Ode to Joy?" Bahá'u'lláh couldn't believe it, "Is he mentally ill? Are there two souls in a body? Otherwise, why are you an angel and a devil?"
Valenhill had a cold face: "Do you think he has a bright heart but is in hell?"
"It's not impossible, the 'energy discontinuity' hypothesis he made almost destroyed many high-level arcanists, which is much stronger than most of the night's watches and cardinals." Philippe Bell half-jokingly said, "Anyway, the musician is dead, and it will be fake to appear in the future."
"We won't send someone to eliminate him?" Valenhill had a strong killing intent.
Philippe Bell shook his head: "It's not that important yet, even if he is the youngest winner of the Holm Crown Award, even if he is Fernando's student. Wait for the Night Watch sent by Sald to arrive before discussing."
…………
It was already late at night after the experiment, so Lucian simply stayed in the office, sorted out his experimental papers and wrote the rest of the article:
「…… Experiments have confirmed that the negatively charged particles emitted under different material conditions have the same charge-to-mass ratio, whether it is cathode generation or gas generation in the tube. This suggests that many substances contain this same particle......
「…… Its charge-to-mass ratio is about 2,000 times that of hydrogen ions in electrolytes."
「…… By approximate charge estimation, we can find that the mass of this particle is about one-thousandth of that of a hydrogen atom......"
"As we all know, hydrogen is the first in the periodic table, and its atoms are the lightest and smallest particles, so what is this particle with a mass of only one-thousandth of its mass?"
"The new 'atom'? Or something else?"
…………
At eight o'clock in the morning, Fernando was thinking about problems in his study.
At this time, he saw Lucian arrive half an hour earlier than usual.
"Teacher, I have completed a series of experiments and written a new paper, please help me take a look." Lucian smiled calmly.
Fernando noticed the oddity, reached out to take the paper, and saw the title at a glance:
"The Discovery of a New Particle".
His face gradually became serious, Fernando began to read carefully, and after a long time, he looked up at Lucian carefully and did not speak for a long time.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Lucian was a little hairy by his red eyes, hadn't he already reached a consensus with His Excellency Hathaway and temporarily abandoned the theory of the indivisibility of atoms?
Fernando rubbed the corners of his eyes, pursed his lower lips, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly:
"I always think you're going to destroy the world one day."
