Chapter 423 Lucian's first review comment (the third update asks for a monthly pass)
After the snow, the warm sun shines on the body, bringing a warm feeling.
Kicking and staring, the heavy footsteps of the steel golem came from the corridor, pushed open the door, his eyes flashed red, and his voice was as cold as metal: "Master, I have obtained the six similar papers previously submitted by the authors of the paper, as well as the evaluation opinions of the review committee."
This is one of the advantages of being a member of the Arcane Review Committee, you can access papers and evaluation results without arcane points, otherwise a committee member will have to spend arcane points to exchange for similar papers for comparison, which is too absurd and not an attitude to encourage arcane research.
Taking the thick stack of papers, Lucian waved his hand to let the steel golem guard the door, flipping through it himself.
By the time of this recent paper, a new geometric system has been constructed, based on the five axioms and four postulates of tower geometry and the premise that "a point outside the straight line, at least two straight lines can be drawn parallel to the known straight line".
"I didn't expect someone to derive the Roche geometric ...... by himself," Lucian said to himself.
This geometric system is the first non-Euclidean geometric system that appeared on the earth, and the proposer was Lobachevsky, who was a widely recognized young mathematician when he made the hypothesis of "at least two parallel lines" and deduced and derived a new geometric system, but after he put forward this research result, he ushered in a lifetime of indifference, contempt, slander and abuse, which was ignored or blamed by authoritative mathematicians. Afraid of facing dissatisfaction and opposition from the entire academic community.
In such a desolate situation, Lobachevsky did not give up, and has been working hard for the survival and development of his new geometric ideas, and completed a geometric work a year before his death.
It was not until more than ten years after his death that his new geometry received the attention and research of the academic community because another mathematician proved the realization of Roche geometry on special surfaces, and won high praise belatedly.
Such research seems to have no significance for the current development of arcane, nor can it improve magical strength, but in fact, arcane and magic continue to be explored, and when they step into space-time, universe and other fields, the current mathematical tools will face a dilemma and cannot accurately describe and help solve practical problems.
For example, on Earth, another non-Euclidean geometric system "Riemannian geometry" posthumously established on the premise that "no straight line is parallel to a known straight line" is the mathematical basis for the great general theory of relativity to explain the problem of space-time, and Roche geometry has been applied in human research on the universe.
If tower geometry (Euclidean geometry) is human intuitive experience and understanding of the world, then the two non-Euclidean geometric systems are close to objective reality - in fact, the three geometric systems are only different in curvature.
Lucian sighed, compared to the wizarding world, which can improve the level of strength by improving cognition, the field of mathematics, which is currently used simply as a tool, is more harsh and conservative on rebellious and subversive theories, just like the evaluation results they gave:
"A ridiculous reasoning with absurd results, I think the author should look out the window and see the real world...... My opinion, the paper cannot pass the review."
「…… This is a paper full of errors, worthless, and cannot pass the review."
「…… I think the best way to deal with this kind of whimsical dream that no one can understand is to throw it into the fireplace, which will play its only role, and obviously, it will not pass the review."
……
Although he has also encountered situations where papers have been given lower evaluations, the evaluation criteria and the tone of the words are all in common sense, and they are "products" that cannot be understood or cannot verify the conclusions.
After asking Fernando for leave, Lucian carefully read Levsky's new paper from beginning to end, and made his own deductive reasoning, then picked up a quill and wrote his first evaluation results as a review committee member:
"Bold assumptions, rigorous deductions......
…………
Alinge in the evening was dyed with a golden afterglow against the setting sun and sunset, which was extremely beautiful.
Inside a towering magic tower, an old man with white eyebrows wearing a special gray pointed hat of the "High Tower" was frowning and calculating a mathematical problem, and several complex magic circles occupying most of the desk lit up from time to time to assist him in calculations.
Dong Dong Dong, at this time, his assistant knocked on the door of the study.
The old man, who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, with the emblem of the eighth-level arcanist and the seven-ring magician on his chest, was interrupted by his thinking and said a little grumpy: "Come in."
His assistant was a beautiful and serious young lady, wearing a conservative Holm-style dress and holding a stack of documents in her hand: "Teacher, your secret puppet has sent the paper I received today, please distribute it."
The old man rubbed his brows: "Show me." If it's not important or difficult, let the students help with the review.
The beautiful and indifferent young lady walked forward with a small step, placing a few papers on the old man's right hand.
Suddenly, he slapped the table hard and made a bang: "Levsky submitted his imagination geometry again! Are the deacons of the magician management department sleepwalking and allowing him to submit them? Is our audit committee's time worthless? I have to propose to the committee that this paper be prohibited from being submitted again!"
"Samantha, you change it according to my previous review results and throw it back!"
…………
At the same time, in a villa in the city of Alinge, which claims to have the most variety of flowers in the world.
A graceful and beautiful lady with her hair pulled up threw the paper in her hand to the ground: "Levsky still hasn't given up? He is simply wasting his talent and life! What is the value of submitting this kind of paper that looks wrong at first glance?"
After thinking about it, she picked up the paper, took out a beautiful quill pen with a special shape, and began to write the review results.
Then, in anger, she ordered her servant, "Return it to the Audit Committee at dusk in two days."
Let the stubborn, crazy and disgusting Levsky suffer for two more days with hope!
…………
After returning the review results to the committee, Lucian smiled and took out his pen and paper and began to write his paper.
Three days later, in the morning, as soon as Lucian stepped into his teacher Fernando's study, he saw Douglas, the kind and kind Speaker of the Magic Council wearing a black evening dress.
"Good morning, Your Excellency." Lucian greeted suspiciously.
Douglas smiled and said, "I'm surprised to see me, I'm here to discuss the two theories recently put forward in "Arcane" and "Magic", which are the two that refute my experiments."
"At times like this, I really like to communicate with Fernando face-to-face. Listening to him rant about these theories will make me feel good."
Lucian almost couldn't close his mouth, His Excellency the Speaker also has such a humorous side?
Fernando shook his head with an ugly expression: "These worthless papers can actually be published in Arcane and Magic! Although their style and level have never been high, they cannot be reduced to this level! What charged particles are shortened relative to the motion of the ether, so the measurement will be biased, and the result is not accurate.
"In comparison, Brooke's thesis directly questioning your celestial orbital system is more powerful, after all, the planet is still in your dream."
Douglas was not annoyed, and said to Lucian with a smile: "Regarding my experiments and these controversies and doubts, Lucian, what do you think?"
Why is someone asking this question every day, Lucian is a little helpless, and then said what he had been planning for a long time: "Your Excellency, I have a small opinion, the problem of planets is the core of your theory, but it is also the weakest point, because you can never find a planet, so your theoretical system lacks strong support."
"Is there a way for you to find the planet?" Fernando unceremoniously hit his own students.
Lucian's expression became serious, and he said sonorously: "Since we can't find a planet, why don't we build one ourselves?"
"Why don't we build a small planet orbiting the world based on the calculated orbit?"
"If it can operate and be observed, it can strongly prove the gravitational system!"
This is a proposal that Lucian has been brewing for a long time after seeing Douglas's letter!
The study suddenly became quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing through the paper.
…………
In the magician management department, Levsky, wearing an old magic robe, knocked on the door of Eric's office with anticipation and anxiety and fear.
"Came so early?" Eric was not surprised by Levsky's arrival and greeted him stiffly.
Levsky nodded, his face pale with the cold wind: "Yesterday was the third day, the review results must have come back, and it should be issued today."
Not long after Eric arrived, he replied while tidying up his desk: "At about 9:15, the review results of the first batch of papers will be sent, you wait a little longer."
"Yes." Levsky sat down for a few minutes, but couldn't stand up calmly, pacing back and forth, restless, if he hadn't taken into account that this was the magician management department, he would have wanted to take out a low-quality cigarette and smoke one.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly, the iron cage lit up with a milky white light.
"Are you back?" Levsky asked excitedly and fearfully.
Eric picked up the stack of papers and flipped through it, raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise: "No? Without your paper!"
"Why?" Levsky was at a loss.
…………
The fifteenth floor of the Magician Management Department, the hall of the Arcane Review Committee.
Alchemy Life took the three review results and fell into a conflict.
