Chapter 50 Verifying the Paper

Time passed by slowly, but there was no sound in the meeting room. Fleming's forehead was sweating. He had already read this paper when he came over, but he didn't dare to read too much. He believed that papers of this kind of content could only be reviewed by a knowledgeable high-level mage; otherwise, it may cause an academic disaster.

The students of the high-level mage were sitting in distress. They saw that their mentors were reading the paper with extremely focused eyes, and there seemed to be subtle waves of water in the air, which were the buzzing of magic.

Cornwall was the first to finish it. Because he was the creator of electrolysis, he quickly understood many of the contents of electrolysis in the paper. This seventh-ring mage's hands trembled when he read that Reiner had run electricity through ordinary water and finally collected two gases.

When he saw his own paper mentioned in the citations and acknowledgments at the end of the paper, Cornwall had complicated feelings.

"Everyone, I think I need a laboratory."

He said, doing his best to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"I think 'we' need a laboratory."

Lanchester then said. He had also finished reading this paper. Although he seemed calm, the heart of the legendary mage was already turbulent.

Fleming didn't dare to speak. He watched several high-level mages put down the papers in their hands with solemn expressions, realizing that the possible consequences of this paper were not just the cognitive collapse of one or two mages that simple.

Everyone was silent and came to a laboratory on the third floor, which was much more advanced than the laboratory of Luna Nova Magical Academy. All kinds of advanced equipment were available, but these high-level mages focused their attention on a sink.

"Cornwall, you are most familiar with electrolysis, so you can do the experiment."

Frederick looked at Cornwall.

"Alright."

Knowing that the boss of the mercury balance was trying to be humble, Cornwall didn't oppose it and began to use experimental tools.

The method of electrolysis was very simple, and it was not difficult for these high-level mages at all.

But the phenomenon was shocking.

Bubbles appeared at both ends of the electrode and slowly pushed the water out of the inverted test tubes. They then verified the gases in the two test tubes, including the results of various properties and mass of the elements. They were all the same as mentioned in the paper!

What did this mean?

This meant that water could be broken down, and the basic elements would no longer be "basic"!

Cornwall looked at the two test tubes and sigh.

He invented the electrolysis method and was the first mage to find new elements through the electrolysis method, but he ignored the most common substance, water. According to the inherent concept of the past, he believed that water was a basic element and could not be broken down, so he missed this discovery.

He, who once broke the old rules, did not expect that he would miss this great discovery because of being fettered by the old concept.

"Magic is the process of constantly introducing the old and bringing forth the new. The replacement of old theories by new theories is a historical necessity. Everyone, I think you all must have some thought about this experimental phenomenon."

Lanchester said, his voice was calm and his mind was full of thoughts. It seemed that there was a volcano brewing underground, and it might erupt at any time.

"This paper also makes bold assumptions about the existing combustion theory. Proposing that combustion is not a process of transferring fire elements, but a process of alchemical reactions between objects and objects of similar nature to Occles. In this process, the object and Occles form the Occles compound. It is a really interesting idea."

Madame Maria smiled. It could be inferred from the burning process of Hydra and Occles that the fire element did not exist in the burning process, and this basic element may not exist.

"How about negative mass, Fleming, I remember that this is the content of your paper, right?"

Eagles had always disagreed with the negative mass hypothesis of Fleming and others. The paper experiment at this moment was powerful proof that the paper about the negative mass was wrong, so he looked at Fleming in the corner of the laboratory.

"This, forgive me for my ignorance, your excellency..."

Fleming was at a loss for words. At least from the combustion reaction between Hydra and Occles, there was no room for fire elements to exist. There must be a problem with his theory, but Fleming was also unable to accept Reiner's theory for a while. So he could only fall into silence.

"Although this paragraph is not rigorous, it does reflect the pursuit of mages."

Robert pointed to the paper about refuting the theory that the fire element had a negative mass and said.

It was written like this: I believe that magic theory should be concise and elegant. The closer it is to the truth, the simpler the expression of formulas will become. Just like 1 and 0, they represent everything in the world and need to be explained by adding assumptions. Some theories are undoubtedly flawed or even wrong. We should remove those meaningless assumptions. If it is not necessary, we should not add assumptions.

This has been recognized by all the Excellencies. During the three hundred years of modern magic development, many theories have gone from complicated to simple, which made them believe that the key to the truth should be simple and elegant.

"According to this inference, if we can find elements similar in nature to Occles, can we classify them into one category?"

Lanchester had been studying the law between elements recently, but there was only a framework, and he had not grasped the actual law. However, the summary of the combustion reaction in this paper at the moment inspired him. whether it can pass The role played in the combustion reaction for the regular arrangement of elements? It made him wonder if it was possible to arrange the order of the elements through the role played in the combustion reaction.

Not only in Lanchester’s heart, but also in the minds of every high-level mage and every one of their students, countless ideas were constantly emerging. They were at the forefront of academics and were not obsessed with the old theories. In fact, many of them believed that the fire element combustion theory was flawed, and they were seeking a more accurate model to describe the basic phenomenon of combustion.

With Reiner’s paper, they had countless guesses that needed to be verified, and they didn’t even want to stay here for even a second more.

"Frederick, buddy, I think the next time we meet may be at the annual meeting."

Lanchester jokingly said that, in fact, his mage tower was located next to Frederick’s mage tower. The two of them could almost see each other easily if they wanted to. Lanchester’s words at this time meant that he might want to stay in the laboratory for a long time and he didn't plan to go out until the meeting started.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I had such a state of mind."

Frederick smiled, then turned to look at Fleming.

"Then Fleming, the mage apprentice who wrote this thesis, I think we should invite him to attend the annual Mercury Balance Convention in a week, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes."

Fleming was dazed, then nodded slightly.
