Chapter 428 Rare compliments
"Naturally?" Nesika coughed: "Commissioner Evans, your explanation is very appropriate, but as a journal in the field of pure mathematics, isn't this name a space generalization? Can't people understand at a glance what kind of journal it represents?"
yes! Journals such as "Arcane", "Magic", "Astrology", and "Elements" can roughly judge the direction of the papers according to the title, but "Nature" will make people mistakenly think that it is a journal founded by the druids, even if they like Lucian's praise of mathematics, and like the phrase "the most wonderful and essential language in nature, the unified rules of all fields", but the current situation of mathematics serving arcane and serving magic tells them that not everyone agrees with this.
Of course, Lucian cannot be said to be an episode of his own bad taste - science also has to define its own meaning and create words, and "nature" can be directly quoted: "Although "Nature" is currently a journal in the field of pure mathematics, I have good hopes for it, hoping that in the future, in addition to pure mathematics, it can also publish arcane theories that are temporarily incomprehensible or almost incomprehensible to almost everyone, and slowly develop into a journal that mainly focuses on pure mathematics and describes the real world of the world, which can be comparable to "Arcane" and "Magic"."
This, this is too whimsical, "Arcane" and "Magic" have a history of hundreds of years of development, one is slightly more focused on theory, and the other is inclined to application, both of which are the "Holy Scriptures" in the hearts of arcanists, and have an irreplaceable status.
After a brief period of astonishment, everyone took Lucian's words as his best wishes and didn't take them to heart. Mirina smiled and said, "Describing the world in mathematical language is real? Well, the journal name "Nature" seems to be quite good, at least better than using "world" and "real", and "mathematics" lacks expansive ......."
"Publish arcane theories that are not understood or understood by almost everyone? This is a good thing! Perhaps in the future, there will be many theories that go against our intuition of reality and are difficult to accept in a short period of time, and our journal can help 'them'." Levsky thought of himself and agreed with Lucian's proposal very much.
Salghero, a sloppy middle-aged man, frowned: "But how can you distinguish between valuable but buried theories or ridiculous and erroneous papers that are deliberately curious? If "Nature" completely opens the door, a journal with an impact factor of 2.0 will make the vast majority of arcanists jealous, isn't this encouraging them to detach themselves from reality, detach from research, make up nonsense, and make things up for the purpose that others can't understand? And then quote each other?"
Levsky did not yet have the consciousness of the editor-in-chief of the journal, and did not know how to answer for a while, while Lucian smiled preparedly: "Nature is a journal in the field of 'pure' mathematics, so of course it must be based on pure mathematical logic, as long as the premise of this paper is not wrong, and there is no problem with the logical deduction, even if it cannot pass the review of the committee for the time being, it can also be published as discussion content, and if the premise assumptions and logical deductions are wrong, then it is undoubtedly an unqualified paper, and the manuscript can be rejected directly."
"Yes, that's it!" Levsky remembered Lucian's deafening speech just now.
Nesika, Mirina, Mapel, Salghero and other committee members nodded silently, involuntarily recalling the mistakes they had made against Levsky before.
After a few minutes, Nessica looked up at the sun setting outside: "This is the longest and most lesson-taught small seminar I have ever attended. Commissioner Evans, please submit your three papers for review as soon as possible, and we are waiting for the evaluation results to be completed before the application of the journal Nature is approved."
Even if all the members of the mathematical field currently in Alinge are gathered in the conference room, the process that should be followed must be followed, which needs to be submitted by the Magician Management Department and summarized by the Alchemy Life Assignment.
"I will submit it before the Sorcerer Management Department closes today." Lucian then realized that he was so focused that it had reached five o'clock in the afternoon, and he had spent almost the whole day in Levsky's explanation and his own rant, not even enjoying lunch.
Watching Nessica, Sarghero and other committee members leave, Levsky turned to Lucian and said: "Commissioner Evans, thank you, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, a genius mathematician, I think I would have to continue to live a life of upheaval and pain and grievances."
Due to the long-term stagnation of strength, he failed to be promoted to the middle level, and concentrated on the improvement of the new geometric system, did not accept tasks, and did not waste too much time on alchemy, Levsky's life was quite difficult, and he had to leave Alinge, where the rent and food prices were high, and live in a nearby small town, relying on subsidies from second-level arcanists and second-ring magicians to maintain.
Therefore, even if the emotions have settled and he expresses his gratitude again, Levsky is still quite emotional and excited, and Commissioner Evans saved himself and "his own child".
"This is what you deserve, no need to thank anyone, so you also have to do a good job of running the journal Nature so that it can help geniuses who cannot be understood for the time being." Lucian's voice was gentle and sincere.
Levsky had been up and down several times today, and when he calmed down now, he was already quite tired, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I am really grateful, but unfortunately I am not good at magic in the elemental field, and I can't go to the Atomic Research Institute to work with you, Commissioner Evans, and I can't learn more from you."
"Instead, I learned perseverance from you. Well, just call me Evans or Lucian, it doesn't have to be that formal." Lucian said meaningfully and vaguely, "Everyone has their own areas of expertise, no need to force anything else, Levsky, you also know that your new geometry and my new geometry are currently just a framework, and there is still a lack of specific research and analysis ability, I hope we can continue to explore in this direction together."
"Of course, you can't forget arcane and magic anymore, if you want to research more results, if you want to solve more problems in the field of mathematics and science, you must improve your arcane level and magical strength, so that you can live longer and your head will not deteriorate when you are old."
"This is exactly the direction I want to study!" Levsky replied with excitement on his face.
Seeing the deep exhaustion between his eyebrows, Lucian motioned for him to go back and rest first and sleep peacefully.
With his hands in the pockets of his double-breasted long dress, he quietly watched Levsky leave, Lucian was about to turn around and sort out the paper and send it to the Magician Management Department for submission, when a sentence suddenly came from his ear:
"Your presentation today is not bad, and you can realize that the closer we really get to the world, the more limited our bodies and souls are, and we have to rely on magic and mathematical tools. Abandoning the correspondence with reality and focusing only on the axiomatic assumptions and internal logical deductions at the beginning may be a direction for the continued development of mathematics." Fernando looked forward expressionlessly and praised Lucian once.
Even though the level of praise was quite low, Lucian was flattered and looked at Fernando carefully, worried that he was a transformation of a small crystal illusion, but he glared back at him and confirmed the truth: "It's just a feeling of what happened to Levsky's new geometry."
"Really?" Fernando looked at Lucian with a smile.
Lucian replied very quickly: "Of course. By the way, teacher, what have you been studying lately?"
Fernando glanced at him angrily: "I redid the experiment on the cursed substance and found that it really radiates electrons and a new element, and in this substance, there seem to be traces of other unfamiliar elements, but it is quite small and unknown, and it cannot be extracted for the time being, so it will take a certain amount of time and effort."
"But this is enough to drive most arcanists crazy, what are the elements and atoms? What does its internal structure look like? Why are new elements radiating?"
"So, I have been making conjectures about the internal structure of atoms for a long time, but unfortunately without the right magic assistance, it is difficult to go deep into the microscopic world, which is the natural conditions of our bodies and souls that limit us."
Lucian finally understood why his short speech could impress his teacher Fernando and make him make a rare compliment, it turned out that he was already thinking about the internal structure of atoms, so he considered the language and said, "In this regard, we should make bold assumptions, and then use experiments to rule it out. In the absence of direct observation of the inside of the atom, we can only rely on indirect methods."
"Do you think I don't know this?" Fernando roared Lucian.

Inside the tower.
Samantha knocked on the door of the study with a thick stack of papers in her arms, and heard the teacher's slightly melancholic voice: "Come in."
It was rare to meet a teacher with this kind of emotion, Samantha raised her thin golden eyebrows, maintained a serious and indifferent expression, and pushed open the door: "Teacher, the paper that needs to be reviewed today."
"Hmm, is it Lucian Evans's?" Nesica, who was wearing a gray pointed hat, looked back.
Samantha flipped through the page: "Another Assumption of the Parallel Line Theorem"...... Lucian Evans...... Teacher, did you lose today?"
"Yes, we lost, we lost badly, and our arrogance and prejudice kept us defeated. Levsky's new geometry is right, a new geometry that is fundamentally different from the geometry of the tower but compatible with it." When there were no outsiders, Nessica seemed to have aged ten years because of this.
Samantha was slightly stunned: "Lucian Evans proposed a solid model?"
She is an arcane genius known as Larry, Ulyssian, Rachel and others, good at astrology, electromagnetism and mathematics, but after reading Levsky's paper, she is also unacceptable and cannot believe the conclusion that this is contrary to intuitive understanding.
"Yes, a hyperboloid that resembles a saddle." Nesica said bitterly, "He also gave a proof of the compatibility of the two geometries on the unit circle, and proposed another new geometric system, a new geometry opposite to Levsky's geometry, which is really an out-and-out genius. Maybe next month he will be able to win the Arcane Scepter Award with Levsky, not because of sharing, but because of their respective contributions."
A complicated change appeared on Samantha's expressionless serious face: "Why didn't I think of it...... He won the highest honors in three fields before the senior ......"
"Give me the paper, and I'll write the evaluation results." Nesika didn't want to say anything more, so after flipping through the paper again, she picked up a quill and wrote:
"Lucian Evans started from the opposite direction of Levsky's new geometric system, assuming that no straight line could be parallel to a known straight line at a point outside the straight line, and then through perfect logical deduction, he obtained a series of bizarre and bizarre propositions and conclusions, and once again constructed an independent and complete new geometric system - Evans geometry, and he proved the feasibility of this new geometric system on a spherical-like surface, so that it was no longer a simple imagination.
"Putting aside the practical meaning, only starting from axioms and postulates, and only focusing on the rigor and self-consistency of logical deduction, Lucian Evans showed us such a unique concept, which brought great impact, and at the same time, his definition and narration of curvature also brought about a conceptual innovation."
"There is no doubt that his new geometry system has made outstanding contributions to the development of the geometry field, and has a breakthrough, popularization and very important status, which is very valuable for discussion, and it is recommended to reward 400 Arcane Points and 4,000 Arcane Points."
When Nessica wrote, Samantha did not leave, she kept watching, her expression filled with chagrin, envy, and frustration.
"Samantha, a new journal will come out in a while, the cover inscription is a summary of Lucian Evans' speech, and the homepage is the content of his speech. Putting down the quill, Nesica said casually.
"Huh?" Samantha was stunned at first, then a strong curiosity surged up.
Tomorrow I will make up for the shortfall~
