After unanimous review by several judges, the resolution to apply for a Morning Star Medal from Congress as a commendation was quickly passed.
The wizards in the auditorium all looked at Glenn with envy. Generally speaking, as long as they were approved by the great wizards, the so-called application to the parliament was just a process.
However, at this moment, Glenn stood up and interrupted. "Wait a minute, masters."
"Do you have any novel magic theories that you would like to explain?" Linn asked curiously.
"No, not really." Glenn shook his head and then said hesitantly. "Thank you for your recognition, Master Lin En, but I would like to know that you should already know this spectroscopic device and the theory of essential colors, right?"
Linn hesitated for a while, not wanting to undermine Glenn's confidence too much, but he also knew that what he had just said was indeed too much, so he thought about it for a long time before explaining. "Just over a month ago, I happened to do a similar experiment when I was in the kingdom, so I have some understanding."
Alok and others in the audience all nodded. They all saw with their own eyes that Dean Lin En performed the exact same spectroscopic experiment using a small prism.
"So that's it..." Glenn looked a little disappointed.
Although Lin En said it very humbly, he naturally understood that these two theories had been verified by the other party in advance. As a developer of glass, this was not a surprise.
"In this case, I can't take this Morning Star Medal. This should be your honor..." Glenn was somewhat reluctant to give up, but still said firmly.
He knew very well that as a recipient of the Order of the Sun, the most shining magic star in the wizarding land, Linn might not care about the ownership of a Order of the Morning Star, but Glenn did not want this kind of charity, which was very important to the creation of his It is a shame rather than an honor for the school of magic...
As soon as these words came out, the wizards present were all shocked, and Glenn's friends frequently winked in an attempt to make the other party retract his words.
You know, this is the Morning Star Medal!
At each academic seminar, only three or five people are usually awarded this honor. It is no exaggeration to say that with this medal, you will become the center of attention no matter where you go.
Even those who are geniuses in academic research may only have one chance to be nominated in their lifetime. If you miss it, you may not get it again!
At the judging table, Raphael and others had expressions of appreciation on their faces. Although they all believed that the Morning Star Medal should go to Master Lin En, when they saw Glenn's decisive refusal, they were both surprised and disappointed. Rejoiced.
Similar things have happened in the past. For example, at the society seminar five years ago, there were three schools of thought that happened to be studying the same element and all achieved good research results. The only problem was that many of the theories were highly overlapping.
Of course, it was impossible for them to give everyone a Morning Star Medal. Just to compete for this nomination, the three schools fought fiercely at the seminar, which caused extremely bad effects.
Glenn's choice is undoubtedly much smarter. If he gets this medal without conscience this time, he will definitely attract some criticism.
Now after rejecting it, the situation has opened up. Raphael can imagine that the name Glenn will spread throughout the wizarding land with this seminar.
After all, this is the first time someone has declined a nomination for the Medal of the Morning Star!
Linn, who was also sitting on the judges' seat, was a bit dumbfounded. He did not expect that he pointed out the omissions in Glenn's theory, and actually made the other party voluntarily give up the nomination.
Obviously it was my first time being a judge, so I didn’t have a good grasp of this...
Linn reflected secretly. Of course he had known these theories for a long time, but after all, he was standing on the shoulders of giants. In comparison, Glenn and others were the real pioneers of magic!
It would be bad if it undermines the confidence of these people.
Because he was worried about hurting the other person's self-esteem, Linn did not insist on giving Glenn the award, but just said in a deep voice.
"Optics is a very new subject. Even the [Arcane Society] has not fully understood its properties, so we are all on the same track. Since you have developed this spectroscopic device and the three primary colors, you might as well Keep working on that.”
"In addition to the visible light that can be recognized by the naked eye, such as the three primary colors, there are also many kinds of light that we cannot see. They are of various types, very strange, and worth exploring..." Lin En talked eloquently and gave Glenn some tips. direction of research.
There are many invisible rays, such as infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, as well as so-called alpha, beta, gamma rays, etc. As long as one of them is researched with some success, it is not excessive to give him a Morning Star Medal.
If Glenn could study the nature of light, let alone the small Morning Star Medal, even the highest academic award in the wizarding land, the Corona Medal, would not be enough to commend his achievements!
Glenn listened to Lynn's explanation very carefully. He was unwilling to accept the honor from charity, but that did not mean that he refused the other party's guidance. More importantly, he wanted to find out which areas no one had yet explored, lest he himself All the hard research was in vain.
"Master Lin En, we can't see these lights, nor can we perceive them through spiritual power, so how can we study them?" In the auditorium, an alchemist in the front row suddenly asked.
Linn reminded with a calm expression. "We can analyze, classify and summarize the characteristics of these light effects on objects by observing them, and find ways to create alchemical instruments that allow us to see and perceive them..."
"Maybe magic transformation is also a good choice!" Sanchez on the side also suggested.
As a master of shaping magic, Sanchez naturally observes that different creatures can see different colors. For example, the giant monster he often transforms is born with color blindness and sees many things in gray, white and black.
It was just that he had always thought that the brains of these creatures were unable to distinguish colors, but now he realized that they lacked so-called photoreceptor cells.
"That's right, this is a good direction!" Linn nodded in approval. Some creatures have four types of cone cells in their retinas, which can see much more light frequencies than humans...
The power of wizards lies in the various magical magics that allow them to transform into these creatures and directly observe them. Compared with using various scientific research instruments to measure, this is a big advantage!
It's just that they didn't think in this direction in the past. When Lin En read a book on body shaping some time ago, it was mentioned that snakes are born with a kind of sensory magic and can sense heat with their tongues. In fact, to put it bluntly, this The thing is just infrared...
