Chapter 425 Roaring Lucian (nearly 8,000 words long chapter asking for a monthly pass)
The winter sun passed through the thick clouds, passed through the bright glass, and shone on the astrological charts hanging in the study, leaving a light yellow halo, warm and bright.
Samantha, a young female student in Nesica, still looked expressionless like you owed me 10,000 arcane points: "Teacher, do you want to attend the small discussion meeting tomorrow morning?"
"Of course, why not? I want to fiercely refute Levsky and Lucian Evans, and I want the committee to stop accepting such worthless papers!" Nesika said angrily and sharply.
Samantha nodded slightly, completely ignoring the teacher's anger: "Then I will tell your coachman to be ready tomorrow morning and not be late again."
After saying that, she turned around and left with a stack of documents in her arms, leaving Nessica angry as she looked at the paper and Lucian's evaluation results.
…………
In the villa surrounded by flowers, Mirina stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself with anger at the corners of her eyebrows, and a few shredded pieces of paper lying quietly at her feet, lowering her voice and saying fiercely: "Lucian Evans......"
In her view, the geometry of the tower is the only geometric system, and there is no new geometry that is fundamentally different from it, and Levsky's paper is full of problems that can be seen at a glance because it is contrary to the real world, and such a paper has been so highly evaluated by Lucian Evans, what calculus revolution in the field of geometry, what is groundbreaking, groundbreaking, popular, highly discussed, and will play an important role, is simply nonsense, reversing black and white, trying to disguise a pile of cow dung as cream.
This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of oneself, the face of all the arcanists who study mathematical knowledge in the tower, and there are only a handful of results in the field of mathematics with such evaluations! Even if he got the results of the arcane scepter, he didn't get such a high evaluation!
Leaving the mirror, Mirina walked to the bookshelf, took out several papers she had published, synthesized the ideas in them, and wrote a new paper.
After writing, she wrote the title at the front of the paper: "On Parallel Lines".
As a rigorous mathematician, astrologer, she never fights unprepared!
After reading it roughly, other authorities in the field of mathematics and science who received the papers and evaluation results sent by Alchemy Life had emotions and reactions similar to those of Nessika and Mirina.
…………
In the early morning, the haze of several days dissipated, and the sky was rarely transparent and clear.
Lucian leisurely sorted out his black double-breasted long dress, white shirt, and light yellow vest in front of the dressing mirror, and after a few tens of seconds, he looked at it carefully to confirm that he was dressed appropriately and meticulously, and then smiled and said to himself in the mirror: "I have to change my style today."
After saying that, Lucian took out the Holm crown ring "Element", "Electron", and "Origin", and put them on the thumb, middle finger, and little finger of his right hand in an orderly manner.
Then, Lucian took out the arcane badge as deep as the night sky, with six silver stars shining, holding the auditor's badge with a quill and wearing it on his left chest.
At the same time, the right chest position of the black double-breasted long dress transformed from the Immortal Throne robe highlighted a distinct mark, a gorgeous throne held by white bones.
Almost all members of the Arcane Review Committee have won the highest honor in the field they are best at, but like Lucian, who has won three field awards and so many rings, it is still a minority among the few.
Looking in the mirror again, Lucian picked up the black top hat hanging on the coat rack next to him and put it on his head as he walked out the door.
Quietly walking through the streets, entering the Magic Tower of the Council Headquarters, and climbing the elevator to the fifteenth floor, Lucian walked unhurriedly towards the predetermined conference room.
"Commissioner Evans?" Just as he was about to push open the door of the conference room, Lucian heard a hoarse male voice.
Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man with a magic robe that was quite old, still more than ten years ago, standing on the nearby balcony a little uneasy, holding a gray-white ordinary cigarette in his hand, with a few wisps of green smoke billowing out.
"Mr. Levsky?" Lucian probably guessed who he was, "Why didn't you go in?"
After hearing Lucian's question, he smiled bitterly: "As soon as I entered, I would be accused of sarcasm by the six committee members, so I was still waiting outside for the meeting to start, and I was a little nervous, just taking a cigarette to calm down."
Compared with the dull autism some time ago, he seemed to be a little more relaxed after being affirmed and was able to express his meaning fluently.
Lucian understood his situation and smiled gently: "Then are you ready? Are you ready to face their indifference, slander, and attacks and show them your new geometry?"
A trace of pain crossed Levsky's face, and he said unconfidently: "I'm ready, but they ...... I once spoke my thesis in front of all the arcanists who were good at mathematics in the tower, and that was the first time I proposed a new geometric concept, but unfortunately, they did not respond, did not discuss, did not believe, in addition to indifference, contempt, ridicule and criticism, or indifference, contempt, ridicule and criticism, I am afraid that if I wait, it will affect you, Commissioner Evans."
"I'm confident in your new geometry, so I'm not afraid of any attacks." Lucian used his attitude to give Levsky confidence.
Levsky became excited again, the most difficult thing in life is to understand yourself, understand your persistence, and understand your results: "Thank you, Commissioner Evans, you were the first person to accept my new geometry, and you directly gave such a high evaluation, even I myself did not describe my thesis like this, thank you, thank you......"
He is a magician who is addicted to the arcane world, not good at words, and only thank-you and slight trembling are tossed and turned.
At this time, Fernando, who was dragging the red magic robe on the ground, came to the conference room and motioned for the two to enter.
"Good morning, teacher, you are still here." After watching Levsky sit down, Lucian greeted Fernando at the door of the conference room.
Fernando showed a serious expression discussing serious matters: "I read his paper, although it goes against intuitive experience and understanding, but it is a bit interesting and interesting."
Sure enough, he never praises the storm master of others.
In the conference room, except for Lucian, there were a total of six members, which was much smaller than the fifteen or sixteen members in other major fields when similar seminars were held.
Although many members are good at multiple fields and can attend different discussion meetings, such as Lucian, who can participate in elemental and thermal aspects respectively, mathematics is only a tool and does not directly bring about changes in the cognitive world and the improvement of magical power.
"Commissioner Evans, I'm Nessica." Wearing a gray pointed hat, Nessica greeted Lucian without smiling, but after seeing the three rings on Lucian's right hand and the immortal throne mark on his right chest, his long white eyebrows moved slightly, and he subconsciously shook the black scepter in his hand, which was deep as if it contained countless mysteries.
After all, the special advisor who presided over and supervised the meeting today was Fernando, the storm lord, who was known for his irritability and ruthlessness, and most importantly, he was Lucian's teacher! No one wants to have a stormy roar over issues other than academics!
Lucian returned the salute one by one, noticing that five of the six committee members belonged to the tower, all of them wore special styles of pointed gray hats, even the two ladies Mirina and Mapel, with a faint sense of eccentricity and funny.
"This kind of hat is really not suitable for women." Lucian sighed and deliberately sat on the other side of the long table, directly opposite the six committee members.
Fernando hated nonsense the most and said bluntly: "For Levsky's article "Strict Proof of Geometric Principles and Parallel Line Theorems", Commissioners Nessica, Mirina and Evans had opposite assessments, so we held this small discussion to make a final ruling on Levsky's paper. Next, Levsky will explain his thesis, and all committee members can raise their hands and ask questions at any time."
Levsky silently picked up the paper and walked towards the magic platform in front of the conference room, and just a few steps out of the room, he suddenly tripped over the chair, made a loud noise, and stumbled and almost fell.
"Huh." "Hmph." The ridicule and sneers of Neshka, Mirina and others sounded one after another, making Levsky's face quickly turn red.
Trying to calm his panic, Levsky used the magic circle to enlarge and project the paper, and began to explain his postulates, reasoning and deduction.
"Mr. Nesika, what's the problem?" Levsky was interrupted by Neshka raising her hand when she spoke of a deductive conclusion.
Nesika held his deep and dark arcane scepter and said indifferently and angrily: "Tell me why the sum of the three inner angles of a triangle is less than one hundred and eighty degrees?"
"This is based on the previous axioms and postulate deduction." Levsky pointed to the derivation mentioned earlier.
Nesika snorted coldly: "Then you can find such a triangular model."
"This ......" Levsky was speechless for a moment, this is a pure mathematical logical derivation, not dependent on physical objects.
Nessica spit out word by word, as if she wanted to express her anger: "Since you can't find it, it goes against reality, it proves that your thesis is worthless! Completely wrong!"
After saying that, he sat down directly without giving Levsky a chance to explain.
Levsky became wilted as if he had been beaten by frost, but he still tried to raise his head, meet the unfriendly gaze below, and was encouraged by Lucian's smiling and approving eyes.
Fernando raised his hand: "Continue to explain."
So Levsky took a deep breath and told the story, and after a while, Mirina raised her hand.
"Ms. Mirina, do you have any questions?" Levsky found himself trembling a little, and so many years of experience made him guess what Mirina wanted to ask.
In her hand was an arcane scepter inlaid with many star-like gemstones, and she sneered: "Levsky, tell me why the vertical and diagonal lines that are in a straight line do not necessarily intersect."
"This is the result of the previous deduction......" Levsky replied a little weakly, seeing that Lucian couldn't help but shake his head, at this time he needed momentum, he needed to overwhelm the confidence of others.
Mirina picked up a stack of papers in front of her, smiled restrainedly, and said with a hint of anger: "Please make such a line, or find a realistic model of it!"
"I haven't found ...... yet," Levsky replied honestly and smashed, "but from the premise and logic, there is no problem with it."
"This is your problem, you forget that we live in the real world, not in imagination!" Mirina mercilessly accused, and then read her thesis, discussing the inconsistency between Levsky's geometry and real experience and intuitive understanding.
Each of her statements seemed to be like a dagger thrown at Levsky, piercing him "bloody", turning pale and "shaky".
"My opinion is finished." Mirina said indifferently, no longer looking at Levsky, as if he were a clown, deliberately making exaggerated and eccentric papers to attract the attention of others.
"Continue to explain." Fernando pointed out that there are still many unexplained aspects of Levsky's paper.
Levsky received Lucian's encouraging gaze, and his voice weakened a little to talk about the rest of the story.
One by one, the committee members raised their hands to ask questions, some distorted Levsky's meaning to prove his fallacy, and some followed the methods of Mirina and others, refuting them from a realistic perspective.
However, in such a bad atmosphere, Levsky still insisted on explaining his thesis without interrupting or giving up, nor did he get angry and "scolded".
Back in his seat, Levsky closed his eyes, as if he could foresee the final ruling, his thesis still lacked strong model proof, thinking of this, he opened his eyes, looked at Lucian, and gave him an apologetic look, Commissioner Evans.
"When Levsky explained just now, Nessica, Mirina and other committee members had already raised questions and gave their own opinions and arguments, and then Commissioner Evans, who had not yet spoken, told the reason for his high evaluation." Fernando turned his gaze to Lucian and motioned for him to come on stage to explain.
Lucian tidied up his neckline and walked up to the podium with a stack of documents, his steps steady and unhurried.
"Commissioner Evans, if I were you, I wouldn't insist on it, I understand your love for disruptive results, but it still has to respect basic reality." Nesika suddenly spoke, if Lucian's teacher was not the Storm Lord, he would never be so polite.
Lucian smiled and looked at him: "I only respect the truth."
Regardless of his expression or tone, the committee members could tell that what he was really referring to was Levsky's paper, so Mirina laughed softly, without the slightest smile, cold like a cold wind in the depths of the north: "Commissioner Evans, I don't think you know that if a review committee member makes an obvious, intentional, and unjustified mistake when reviewing the paper, he will be disqualified."
"This is also what I want to say to you." Lucian stood on the podium, his smile was flat, but his words were by no means soft.
Boom, as if something was exploding in my heart, every member of the committee in the field of mathematics and science was full of anger, this is accusing and attacking us?
Fernando blinked, a little puzzled that his always elegant and polite student could say such provocative words, he secretly said in his heart, a bit abnormal, it seems that some people are in trouble......
"Commissioner Evans, you should think about how to turn the imaginary geometry into reality." Another female commissioner, Mapelle, mocked her as ordinary, old-fashioned and serious, wearing a gray pointed hat, like an old nun in the church.
Salghero, a middle-aged man with messy black hair who didn't seem to like taking care of himself, pinched his face with his left thumb and index finger, and said in a low voice: "I would like to know why Commissioner Evans, why do you call Levsky's thesis a calculus revolution in the field of geometry, what is your reason? Can you prove him right?"
"You have no achievements in the field of mathematics and science, and I seriously doubt your ability to review this paper." Nesika, who spoke first, directly questioned Lucian's mathematical level.
Enraged by Lucian's words, each committee member turned into an aggressive rooster.
Lucian raised his hand and pressed it, his voice was loud: "Please raise doubts about my mathematical level to the committee after I finish explaining."
Then he roared slightly: "From now on, everything except the thesis will disappear, you are a review committee member, not a child!"
Shocked by this sudden roar, the conference room suddenly became quiet.
Lucian looked around the conference room, nodded slightly to Levsky, and then said loudly: "When I tell the reason, I am not allowed to ask questions, I am not allowed to interrupt, all questions are raised together after the narration, but when I tell, I will ask you questions, please answer honestly, worthy of the committee badge on your chest and the starry sky above your head!"
The committee members were silent, unable to find a reason to refute Lucian for a while, as a review committee member, as a three-time winner of the Holm Crown Award and one Immortal Throne Award, he was qualified to make certain reasonable demands, and his momentum was like a storm ready to break, choosing people to eat them, making people subconsciously not want to provoke him on small issues.
"Since everyone has no objection, then it is considered agreed." Lucian looked at the teacher Storm Master.
Fernando said with a straight face: "Next, do as Commissioner Evans said."
So Lucian turned around and manipulated the magic circle so that only the initial axioms and postulates were displayed on the projection:
"Commissioner Nesika, let me ask you, are these axioms and public opinions wrong?"
Nessica reflexively replied: "This is different from the real world."
"Commissioner Nesika, forget the sunshine outside, forget the outside world, forget the content behind this paper, you answer honestly, are these axioms and public opinions wrong?" Lucian shouted sharply.
Nesica was suppressed by Lucian's momentum, and took a closer look, isn't this the five axioms and four postulates of tower geometry, as well as the hypothesis proposed by Levsky, so she nodded and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the previous axioms and postulates, but the last one is ridiculous."
"This is a counter-evidence, don't you know the counter-evidence?" Lucian shouted again.
The white eyebrows shook slightly, and Nessica couldn't make herself look like a fool, a fool who hadn't learned math: "That's no problem."
"Do you think there is a mistake? If you have it, stand up bravely!" Lucian was like attending a magic school, facing magic apprentices one by one, with a powerful momentum.
How could this be wrong, the other committee members shook their heads.
So Lucian projected a few lines again, and sure enough, it was Levsky's paper.
"Commissioner Mirina, do you think there are premises and logical errors in this reasoning?" Lucian looked at Mirina with a stern gaze.
Mirina got up and sneered: "This is different from reality, I can't find ......"
"Forget about them! I said forget them! Only consider premise assumptions and logical deductions, only pure mathematical problems!" Lucian roared and interrupted Mirina, "Tell me, is there a logical error in this reasoning?"
Mirina was so angry that she didn't know how to refute it, so she deduced it carefully, shook her head and said: "There are no logical errors and loopholes, and other equivalent propositions are not used as conditions."
"Very good." Lucian motioned for her to sit down, and then projected a few lines again, "Commissioner Mapel, do you think there are any premises and logical errors in this reasoning?"
In this way, Lucian asked and roared again and again, making the committee members forget about other factors and only consider simple axiomatic postulates and logical deduction issues.
Receiving the roar, listening to the questions, and answering whether there were any mistakes, the faces of Nesica and the other committee members gradually began to turn blue, and there seemed to be a little cold sweat on their foreheads, while Levsky was refreshed, as if every roar of Lucian, every answer of the committee members, was injecting confidence and joy into him, while Fernando nodded thoughtfully.
As the last few lines of the paper were projected, Lucian's eyes turned to Nessica, and he said in a low voice: "Commissioner Nessica, is there any loophole in logical deduction in this paragraph, and is there any error in the premise assumption?"
Nesica clenched her hands tightly, vaguely feeling the dampness of her palms, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, did not dare to mention the reality again, and said with a slight trembling: "There are no loopholes, no mistakes."
"Very good, no loopholes, no errors." Lucian looked at the six committee members, as if they were talking to themselves.
Suddenly, he roared in the loudest voice, as if a violent storm was coming:
"Since there are no mistakes in every place, then tell me what is wrong with this paper?!"
"Tell me, what is wrong with it?!"
Mirina was startled and subconsciously replied: "It is contrary to our intuitive understanding and real experience......"
"Throw them out of your head!" Lucian roared and interrupted, "Tell me, in terms of pure mathematics, in terms of premise assumptions and logical deduction, where is it wrong?"
"What is wrong?"
Nesika, Mirina and others were silent, not knowing how to answer, not mentioning reality, not mentioning experience, and really not finding premises and logical errors.
Levsky clasped his hands tightly, raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and his face was full of complex emotions, including joy and sorrow, pain and hope.
"Lucian Evans' roar really has the momentum of a storm master, worthy of being his student."
"Another storm lord?"
For some reason, instead of thinking about the words of rebuttal, these thoughts suddenly popped up in Mirina and the others' heads.
Fernando shook his head and said to himself amusedly: "I don't have an illegitimate child."
Seeing that his momentum made them unable to organize a counterattack for a while, Lucian pursued the victory, put another paper in his hand into the magic circle, and then adjusted the magic circle to display it together with Levsky's paper.
"Attempts at Geometric Explanation of Non-Towers" ......" Mirina saw the title of the paper and continued reading.
The papers are displayed page by page, but instead of replacing the previous content, they are displayed side by side around the conference room.
Nesika rubbed her brows and said doubtfully: "The knowledge of differential geometry used ......"
Mapel, Salghero and other committee members also read along, and as they read, their faces turned pale, drops of cold sweat slipped from their foreheads, and their hands almost couldn't hold the quill steadily.
"This is ......" Levsky jumped up, as if seeing the goddess of magic appear in front of him. This is a model of your own new geometry! This is a "hyperboloid" model that goes beyond normal imagination and intuitive understanding! This is the strongest proof!
He cried silently and truly saw the sun rising, the darkness receding, and hope coming.
Suddenly, another paper appeared, quite simple, using the concept of projection to prove the compatibility of Levsky geometry and tower geometry on a unit circle, if tower geometry is true, then Levsky geometry is also true!
Concise derivation, wonderful proof, full of mathematical beauty, there is no more evidence that shocked Nessika and other committee members more than it!
I'm not wrong, I've been on the right path! Levsky screamed wildly in his heart.
At this time, Lucian's voice sounded softly in their ears: "As we all know, we can only see light within a certain frequency range, beyond this range, we cannot feel it directly, we can only rely on other tools to judge, and other tools also have limits."
Since some of the pre-mathematical results required for the paper did not come out, Lucian deduced and gave it by himself, which was a little more complicated than the original paper, but this did not prevent Milina and the other committee members from understanding.
"Therefore, in specially arranged light scenes, our eyes will be deceived due to their own limitations, resulting in hallucinations, which is the principle of partial illusion."
Although confused, Nessica, Levsky and others all nodded, and they were right.
Lucian continued to say softly: "The same is true for our ears, if the sound waves exceed a certain range, they cannot be heard, and under certain conditions, it will be disturbed and cause auditory hallucinations."
"Our knowledge, our experience, are limited by the structure of our body and soul, and there will be a considerable degree of limitations.
"No." Levsky replied affirmatively that although many transfigurations rely on physiological and anatomy understanding, such as the metamorphosis of bats before knowing that bats rely on ultrasound to find their way instead of their eyes, the transfiguration obtained from the original magic pattern can still allow magicians to partially understand the world felt by different creatures.
Lucian smiled and looked at the confused Mirina and the others: "Are we right, or are they right? Obviously, this is looking at the same thing from different perspectives, everyone is right, and they are all part of the truth, so our experience and our understanding are limited."
"And our imagination is based on our experience, and limited experience constrains our imagination, making it not omnipotent. The deeper we explore the world, the more we will find that there are many things that we cannot imagine at all, completely contrary to our intuitive understanding."
Fernando nodded solemnly, probably understanding what Lucian meant.
Nessica, Mirina, Levsky and others were still a little confused, looking straight at Lucian.
Lucian raised his right hand, his expression becoming serious:
"So, your eyes will deceive you, your ears will deceive you, your experience will deceive you, and your imagination will deceive you as well."
Speaking of this, he paused, pointed his right hand at the paper projected on the wall in everyone's eyes, pointed to the logical deduction and conclusion, and whispered:
"But math can't."
It has been changed.
This chapter is more than 7,700 words, which is equivalent to adding another chapter.
