Chapter 356 Inscription (Second Update Seeking a Monthly Pass)
Since the periodic table has been used for more than two years, its irrefutable regularity always hints to the magicians who use it and study it that atoms are not so simple, otherwise why would they show periodic laws, so when Maurice, Lavendi, Gaston and other high-level officials began to slowly point out the problem and subtly lead to atomistic errors, most middle and high-level arcanists gradually had doubts.
After Hathaway used the discovery of the same element to deal a heavy blow to her own atomism, there were very few middle and high-level arcanists in the elemental will who refused to suspect atomic errors, and low-level arcanists, magic apprentices, etc. easily accepted it.
It is easier for magicians outside of the elemental will to transform into a position that is not solid.
This is an era of terrifying development, not only the magic council is exploring more and more deeply, but also the Southern Church, the Northern Church, the Druids, etc. are developing rapidly, who is left behind, maybe one or two hundred years later, it will disappear, therefore, after seeing the situation of changing perspectives, the sense of urgency made the Supreme Council no longer wait, and decided that the October issue of "Arcane" will be the first to publish Lucian's paper "The Discovery of a New Particle" to kick off the exploration of the microscopic world!
As for the very small number of arcanists who still refuse to suspect atomic errors, they are not considered.
"It's cruel, but it's also very realistic." Outside the magician management department, Lucian commented on Lazar and the others.
Lazar was a determined elemental mage, and his bright and optimistic smile became very bleak, almost wry: "I remember Lucian, you often joked, the wheel of history rolls forward, completely crushing anything that stands in its way, but not long ago, they were still known as outstanding arcanists with potential and know how to endure hardships.
The "Atomic Research Institute" is Lucian's "territory", and the task of changing the thoughts and views of magicians and magic apprentices in the institute must naturally be completed by him.
Fortunately, as the discoverer of the periodic law of elements, the first arcanist to question the meaning behind the law, Lucian's attitude has long indirectly influenced his friends around him, and the cathode ray was discovered by the Atomic Research Institute, and many experiments were completed by them themselves, and the low-level arcanists were still in the stage of using and understanding most of the theories, and things went very smoothly.
So two weeks ago, Lucian had already read the paper to them and demonstrated the experiment again, and everyone naturally accepted the fact that there were even smaller particles, and atoms were not necessarily indivisible.
"This is the cruelty of fate. However, they themselves are also using the periodic table, and there is a foreshadowing in front of them, and the impact should only make them realize that the world is broken rather than collapsed, even if it is difficult to advance, they still retain a glimmer of hope, and do not rule out the possibility that they will one day overcome themselves and re-accept the changed atomic theory." Lucian understood that Lazar was cheerful and enthusiastic, had a wide range of friends, and had many friends within the elemental will, and one of the more than a dozen arcanists who could not accept the questioning of atomism this time had a good friendship with him, so he comforted him a few words.
Lazar laughed: "No need to comfort me, Lucian, I'm just feeling for a moment, in fact, on the road of magic, there are many people every year who stop moving forward for various reasons, or even die. They are much better than those magicians who die of inexplicable exhaustion or are cursed in the laboratory and cannot get rid of them."
As he spoke, Lazar coughed and learned the words of the "Judge": "Magicians try to spy on the realm of God and violate the prohibitions, so they will inexplicably collapse, die suddenly or be cursed, which is the price of blasphemy!"
"No, this is the so-called God of Truth's fear of us! The closer we get to the truth of the world, the more crazy He becomes, the more mad He curses us. Being cursed by Him means that we are on the right path, and one day we will lift the mask of His hypocrisy!" Lucian saw that Lazar could still joke, so he smiled and cooperated.
These two lines are classic lines from the recently popular opera "Cerrod" in Alinge, which is wildly loved by magicians, and similar dialogues can be heard everywhere - "Cerrod" is a fictional magician who has excellent arcane and magical talents, proposes many essential laws and improves a lot of powerful magic, but is later betrayed by his beloved lover and caught and burned to death by the church. This dialogue appears in "The Court".
And the author of this opera is naturally Oliver, a great arcanist with a strong literary temperament.
Roque watched them "stage" the opera and said "helplessly": "If you like opera, do it yourself. Lucian, don't you have an excellent musical talent? Your Excellency Oliver's script is great, but the musicians who adapted it into an opera have never been good enough, for example, the story of "Cerrod" is very moving, but the melody is difficult to call a classic. In short, don't delay me in updating my arcane badge, I can't wait to see how far I am from being promoted to the intermediate level!"
He nagged and passed between the two of them, and Annick, Heidi, and the others also glanced at Lucian with a slight guilt, and then immediately followed in excitedly, to the offices of different deacons, they were about to become official arcanists!
——Previously, while they were working, they had to prepare for the promotion to official magicians, and it was not Lucian's reminder, so they almost forgot to update the badge.
"Actually, perhaps, I'm already intermediate?" Lazar came back to his senses and couldn't help but turn around excitedly and walked towards Eric's office.
Although his paper has been reduced to one article this month due to the completion of many experiments on cathode rays, there should be citation points!
Lucian smiled and shook his head, and also walked into Eric's office, today it was precisely because he casually said that he was going to update the badge and buy the latest issue of "Arcane", that the entire atomic research institute members were mobilized collectively.
"Only five arcane points are only five points away from reaching level three, Lazar, the discovery of cathode rays really makes you 'eat all-you-can-eat'." Eric sighed quite a bit, and used Alinge's slang "all-you-can-eat" to joke about Lazar.
In the past, Lazar had already smiled brightly and excitedly, but at this time he clicked his lips, shook his head and said, "There are still five arcane points left, I don't know when I will be able to collect ......."
Seeing Lucian come in, Eric did not continue to sit as before, but stood up and shook hands: "I heard that many members of the Magic Research Committee have an unoptimistic attitude towards the 'Atomic Research Institute', and do not think that Evans, you can achieve any great results in three years.
"The 'Atomic Research Institute' may be more promising than we expected, but unfortunately my main research direction is not elements, otherwise I would have wanted to quit my position as a deacon and join the institute."
"Thank you, Mr. Eric, for your attention, at least for three years, we don't have to worry about the results, and we can study in the direction envisioned in advance. Can you help me update my badge?" Lucian handed Eric the arcane badge of his five silver stars.
Eric's stiff face showed a suspicious smile: "The evaluation results of the impact factor have come out, "Arcane" and "Magic" are the highest 3.0, and the level of the arcanist who has the ability to have his paper published in these two journals will increase quickly. Evans, you have published many papers in "Arcane", and I believe there will be no less in the future, maybe in two or three years you will be able to become a level six arcanist and be promoted to a high level, which is much faster than your magic level."
As he spoke, he put Lucian's arcane badge into a small cage and rang the bell.
"Oh, today is No. 1, the date when the influence factor is officially implemented, what are the other journals?" Lucian only knew about "Arcane", "Magic", "Elemental" and "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly".
Eric took out a document that had just been issued: "Except for "Arcane" and "Magic", there is no 3.0, the journals of the seven factions such as "Electromagnetism", "Force Field" and "Elements" are 2.5, and the journals of the four factions of "Light and Darkness", "Illusion", "Metamorphosis" and "Summoning", the journals sponsored by the five Magic Council branches, and the journals of six small fields such as "Golem" and "Ice and Snow" are 2.0."
""Journals of Northland Magic", "Monthly Magazine of the Magic Council of the Solar Islands", "Sonic" and other nine sub-field periodicals, as well as "Ordinary Arcanist Monthly" is 1.5, "Blessing" and "Curse" and other four sub-field periodicals, "Arcane Exploration" and other five comprehensive journals are 1.0.
In recent years, due to the increase in magicians, the review committee has approved the addition of a small field journal and three comprehensive journals.
Lucien, who has become a member of the review committee only one badge away, knows more about the evaluation criteria, which is to encourage arcane and magical research, so that magicians do not indulge in ancient theories, and even if those theories are correct, they must delve into the reasons why the theories are correct or establish a complete system that is easy to learn.
Suddenly, the small cage lit up with bright silver, but before the silver stopped, the milky white light was mixed out.
"What's going on?" Eric frowned quite puzzled, wasn't he simply updating the badge?
Lazar twitched the corners of his mouth, every time Lucian this guy was in trouble......
The light subsided, and not only arcane badges appeared in the small cage, but also three more things, namely a badge facing back, two documents, and a book with a dark black cover.
"Arcane Journal?" Today's arcane journal was a little late, Eric thought it would be postponed until tomorrow, but he didn't expect it to be sent directly through the teleportation array in the tower now, which was really strange.
Therefore, he was the first to pick up the "Arcane" journal and found that there was an extra line of silver and white words with medium font on the cover composed of countless silver and white lines:
"The door to the microscopic world is opening to us.
—Lucian Evans X"
Eric turned his head to look at Lucian in surprise, the cover inscription of "Arcane" has only appeared more than thirty times so far, each time it is a theory that changed the times or an unusually significant discovery, and then the great arcanist and legendary magician outlined the territory inscription to explain the meaning, as a scene in the historical record, this time it will actually be written by Lucian Evans?!
"Actually, I still want to write 'Arcanists, do you want to ascend to the throne of the arcane? Then let's explore this unknown microscopic realm!' Lucian laughed at himself.
The gods are so cruel, asking for a monthly pass, please stay in the first four for a while~
