"The Theory of Everything - A Brief Introduction".
This booklet is very special and has a great impact.
What's special is that it is a book written by His Majesty the King, and the confidentiality level is "Under Confidential." The printing work is done directly by the Research Institute's Manufacturing Bureau, without the use of an external printing house.
"Secret" is followed by "下", which was added during a certain improvement of the confidentiality system.
The confidentiality level changes every five years. "Down" means that the next time the confidential documents are sorted out, their confidentiality level will be lowered by one level and become "secret."
When it reaches the "secret" level, add "common", and relevant government-owned enterprises and university research laboratories will be able to access it. If it is lowered to the "secret" level, it will be declassified and allowed to be viewed, but will not be actively promoted.
This confidentiality system has a great inertial force. People who are accustomed to the confidentiality system do not realize that some things are being declassified year by year, or they are aware but do not carefully distinguish what has been declassified. Anyway, the things they come into contact with at work are not at work. Don't talk about the occasion.
In addition to its content, it is said to have a great impact, but also because although it is "confidential", its management form is the same as "secret" level. All confidential personnel of the institute can see it, while normal "confidential" should be limited to a certain project. Communicate within the group.
When everyone was chatting, they all thought that they could not understand the worldview of His Majesty and the Queen.
Now that I have read "The Theory of Everything - A Brief Introduction", it is enough to understand that the world in His Majesty's eyes is composed of matter and energy, without any subjective factors. It is a world in which all existence can be described using mathematics alone.
No God, no faith.
But really not?
If you think about it carefully, in a world where there is clearly a god, and the Mother of All Living Things even released a miracle during His Majesty's wedding, it is also a kind of firmness to maintain a materialistic worldview in this environment.
Along with the "Brief Description", there was also a periodic table of elements supplemented to number 103, as well as a job requirement.
The periodic table of elements only reached the 88th position of radium at the earliest. This representation is widely circulated. Even if you don't count alchemists, half of ordinary mages have at least one copy.
However, because there was no clear "Atomic Theory" before, the vast majority of mages and alchemists did not actually understand the sorting logic in the periodic table. As this periodic table of elements spread, many variations appeared, and some people even tried to Insert some strange things into the table, such as earth elements, crystal elements, etc.
Because the queen directly teaches at the institute, she has a certain understanding of atoms and their extranuclear electrons. Although it is not systematic, it can be inferred that behind radium No. 88 is an element with an outer electron number of 2 like the lanthanide series. Tie.
In fact, some people from the Night Clan who came with His Majesty can recite parts of the periodic table. Unfortunately, the parts that the institute has come into contact with can only be recited to the thirties at most. This may be related to the living environment of the second generation of disasters.
This new table directly completes the Actinium series, and also has an additional large version with annotations and explanations.
There are many knowledge points in the big picture version.
Radioactivity and unknown properties were marked, and His Majesty directly said here, "The natural elements in the hometown of the Night Clan can only reach plutonium No. 94, and everything thereafter is artificially synthesized. By checking the state of elements in this world, it can help confirm the stability of this universe. , should be prioritized.”
The label also contains isotopes, some of which are the results of alchemists from various places, and some of which are suddenly taken out. These isotopes are directly inserted into the enlarged grid.
Isotopes, like the actinium series, are substances that can confirm the stability of the universe. By studying and separating them, it is conducive to the understanding and development of atomic theory suitable for this universe.
His Majesty even "thoughtfully" wrote in the instructions how to separate heavy water and super-heavy water... It's very simple, precise temperature control distillation, both of which have higher boiling points than ordinary water. Although the boiling points are only a few degrees different, but now With advanced technological means and energy utilization capabilities, separation can be easily achieved.
The most important part of the description is "radioactivity".
Radioactivity is classified here. The harm of radioactivity is proportional to the number of neutrons an element can emit per unit time. The greater the atomic weight and the lower the half-life of radioactive elements, the greater the harm.
Taking the Yezu universe as an example, the atomic weight of cobalt-60 is relatively low, but because its half-life is only more than five years, and it releases gamma rays through low-harm beta decay, it is extremely harmful. Several grams of cobalt-60 cannot be exposed at close range without protection. Exposure can cause vomiting, diarrhea, internal bleeding and even death within an hour.
Correspondingly, although uranium-238 has a large atomic weight, it is stable and has a half-life of hundreds of millions of years. During the initial refining process, the powder is directly touched by hand and will not have any adverse effects in a short period of time.
In response to this series of research topics arising from the newly added actinides and isotopes, a new protection system (opinion) was customized in the explanation, including building protection and personnel protection.
This is the part of the job requirements. There are two jobs.
First, corresponding to the new topics brought about by the development of the periodic table and atomic theory, the institute is required to first build a research center with level four protection (the highest). Problems encountered in the process should be communicated to the Ministry of Industry in a timely manner. After the laboratory is completed, a research center will be formed. A complete protection system has been established, and regulations on the control of radioactive materials within the territory have been promulgated.
The second is to formally establish a basic research group on mathematics and physics. This part of the work will be mainly handed over to people from Phoenix University. Interested researchers from the Master Department can participate in it in their spare time.
Phoenix University was established later than Black Forest College. Most of the first two batches of graduates were used to fill the education system. The graduate school has only received some talents in the past year or two.
The cooperation between the mage department and the non-mage department is a difficult problem, and the institute is also in the trial stage of various cooperation plans.
First of all, you cannot leave all the calculation work to people in the university department, because if you do this for a long time, the mathematical ability of the researchers in the magician department will decrease relatively, and the upper limit of the tacit understanding value of a group will be very low. Later, it will become a lot of time to hand over work. .
Secondly, people in the university department have never been exposed to the magic array system, and their ideas in product design are completely different from those in the mage department.
Not using magic does not mean it is bad, but it is a bit wasteful to not use magic. Especially the full name of the institute is "Magic Weapon Research Institute". If you don't use magic, it is better to change companies or go to school to do research. This problem also makes university departments in the research group Generally, they only undertake auxiliary work, which somewhat dampens their enthusiasm.
The institute is also considering whether to separate non-lawyer personnel and open a branch. Now the job requirements seem to be recognized.
Dean Xiu took the opportunity to write a report and received a reply quickly.
The idea of separating theoretical research and applied research is good, but at this stage the overall scientific research strength is still insufficient, and the accumulation and depth of knowledge in classification science is not enough. It will take a few more years.
However, facilities can be prepared first.
Through the transfer coordination of the Ministry of Industry, the institute has approved a piece of land in Nanzhen to prepare for the construction of a new campus.
The specific details of whether it will be a branch hospital after completion, or whether it will become a main hospital instead of focusing on guests, are still being coordinated at this time.
