Lin En calmed down, recovered from the suspicion about the 'spellcasting obstacle', and asked with a slightly worried voice. "What does the council think now? Have they thought of a way to stop this riot?"
Philip shook his head helplessly. In fact, the Parliament was now in chaos. Such a sudden loss of the ability to perceive a certain element had never happened in the history of magic.
It is said that Speaker Vittorio convened many people and conducted physical and mental examinations on them, but no new findings have been found yet.
The only thing that is certain is that all of these people have questioned the nature of optoelectronics, and many of them have even directly participated in discussing the wave-particle debate and published several papers in newspapers.
After Phillip paused, he continued to speak. "Now, many wizards who support the particle theory suggest that the wave theory be banned to prevent the 'spellcasting disorder' from continuing to spread..."
Members of Parliament are also considering this suggestion. After all, the impact of this dispute is too great. This weird 'spellcasting obstacle' has made many wizards feel scared. Even several Speakers have expressed their opinions about this. Worry.
Although the main force of the church has already collapsed, Ella, who has fled outside the territory, is always a great threat.
The thunder spell is now a very critical force in the entire magic system. It has great advantages in the transmission of information. The derived electromagnetic field is also an important factor in restraining nuclear power!
"That's why the Speakers asked me to ask for your advice." Philip said cautiously.
"No, you must not do this! Tell them that I am clearly opposed to banning the Fluctuation Doctrine!" Linn objected directly. "We are not a church and cannot stop normal research and discussion on magic..."
"And...it's too late to ban now!"
After nearly two months of disputes, coupled with the manipulation of the two schools to win over each other and support each other, nearly 70% of the great wizards and the schools they led were involved. In addition, those who were originally watching the fun, In the end, they suffered an inexplicable disaster from the thunder wizard and the frightening spell-casting obstacle, which made this dispute known to everyone.
Even if they openly ban the Wave Theory, they can't stop the wizards from conducting research in private, so it's better to let them debate openly. The collision of ideas can also help break the rules.
However, Lynn also asked Philip to reply to Parliament and let them manipulate public opinion to slightly control the intensity of the dispute to avoid large-scale bloody conflicts.
This is not impossible. There have been many conflicts caused by academic disputes in the history of magic.
For example, more than 20 years ago, the debate about the origin of the fire element almost caused the two opposing schools to merge. In the end, the great wizard Arad relied on the newly developed six-ring magic [Fire Element Storm] to defeat him in a one-on-one duel. Only by defeating the opponent can the opponent be "convinced".
Even in the previous life, the dispute over the wave-particle nature of light caused a group of textbook tycoons to quarrel with each other for three hundred years!
The reason is that the contradiction between the two doctrines is almost irreconcilable if demonstrated by common sense.
What is a wave?
It is a physical quantity or a perturbation of a physical quantity that propagates in space in a specific form.
To put it more simply, in the eyes of wizards, this thing is a continuous and indivisible existence.
Particles refer to the smallest components of matter that can exist in a free state, one by one!
Because of this, because you can't say that something is continuous and dispersed, the brain simply can't imagine that kind of existence, just like you can't say that a cat is both alive and dead...
But the microscopic world is so tedious, and one needs to completely abandon the so-called common sense of the macroscopic world in order to get a glimpse of its mysteries.
Lin En shook his head and couldn't help but look at the manuscript on the table.
During this period of time, he had also conducted preliminary research and experiments in the microscopic field. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to publish some papers first, but the inexplicable 'casting disorder' that appeared now made him hesitate.
If these research results on quantum superposition and entanglement are released, the impact will not only be as simple as thunder wizards, but a large number of elemental wizards may directly lose the ability to cast spells.
That is the real magic crisis!
Just as Linn was thinking about it, a sturdy Garde falcon suddenly flew in from the wide open window and stayed on the desk, with a white letter hanging on its feet.
Linn recognized it as a communications hawk at a glance.
Although temporary communication base stations composed of patrol airships have been spread all over the mainland, enabling national emergency communications within fifteen minutes, some secret messages are not convenient to be transmitted by this method, and many schools still keep them in captivity. Communication hawks carry on the tradition of communication.
Philip on the side noticed that the beautiful feathers on the right side of the Garde Falcon were engraved with a lightning mark.
"This logo should belong to Master Anthony, right?" Philip said with interest. In recent days, the founder of the 'Electrotherapy Induction Method' and the proposer of the photoelectric effect has become famous.
As a leading figure in the light particle theory, he actually turned around and believed in the wave theory, which made many wizards who were watching the fun dumbfounded.
Philip is also more inclined to the light particle theory, and he really can't understand why the other party suddenly made such a crazy move. Maybe the truth lies in this letter.
Linn then took the tightly sealed letter, and after passing the identification magic on the envelope, he unfolded it and read it.
In this letter, Anthony elaborated on their research on electric and magnetic fields during this period, and stated that he had cracked the fourth equation of Maxwell's equations and derived an amazing fact from it—— Light is an electromagnetic wave with a unique frequency.
And successfully used this method to create light!
"No wonder..." Linn smiled. He could imagine Anthony's emotions of collapse and surprise. Now that he understands that light is electromagnetic waves, it is not incomprehensible that he suddenly chooses to embrace wave physics.
In addition, in the letter, Anthony also flattered him fiercely, saying that these research results were derived based on his Maxwell equations and calculus formulas, and then euphemistically stated that he had discovered a new explanation The model of the internal structure of elements may be very subtly different from the star orbit formula he proposed before...
Of course, Linn knew that this subtle difference was probably a huge difference. The purpose of Anthony's letter was obviously to test his tone.
I'm probably worried that I might object or even use my influence to block him, so I asked him his opinion first.
Lynn shook his head in a funny way. After thinking for a moment, he wrote a reply letter, affirming Anthony's research results in the field of electromagnetism and expressing his support for the other party's proposal of a more novel atomic model to explain microscopic phenomena.
At the end, I considered adding the hint that "light and electricity do have certain wave properties, but the particle characteristics they exhibit cannot be ignored."
Philip, who was extremely curious, quietly glanced at the content of the letter, and then his pupils tightened. He happened to see the last sentence Lin En was writing, and his heart was shocked.
Is it possible that the dean also supports the wave theory?
On the other side, Linn had already placed the envelope and tied it to the Communication Eagle's foot.
Seeing this, Phillip hurriedly said goodbye and left. However, he was still a little uneasy after walking out of the door. If he wanted to use electromagnetic communication magic, he would discuss it with some of his friends.
However, this time the spell failed...
Phillip opened his eyes suddenly, his face turned pale, and he suddenly found that he could no longer sense electric charges and magnetic fields.
"It's over..." Philip murmured to himself, he was also infected with the 'fluctuation plague'!
…
A few hours later, in the city of kerosene, in a luxurious manor.
The two great wizards at the center of the deep public opinion whirlpool, Anthony and Jeffrey, are gathered here.
"Do you think Speaker Lynn will approve our wave theory?" Jeffrey asked slightly uneasily.
In his opinion, the biggest obstacle to the wave theory is undoubtedly this magic star!
Thanks to the photoelectric effect proposed by Anthony, these two things are tied together, plus someone's sudden idea to re-improve the model of the internal structure of the elements using the wave theory, which is consistent with some of the magic proposed by Speaker Lynn. Serious conflicts arose between academic theories.
In this regard, Jeffrey was also very helpless, and even had some doubts about whether allowing Anthony to join the Light Wave School was the right decision.
You must know that Parliament has been considering awarding Speaker Lynn a second Corona Medal to appreciate his outstanding contributions in the fields of elements and optics.
At such a critical time, they stepped in and said that some of the magic star's research concepts were wrong. Who wouldn't be angry about this?
Jeffrey has no doubt that Speaker Lynn can shut down the fluctuation theory he has painstakingly researched with just one sentence. The other party's influence in the field of magic is really too great!
The law of free fall, universal gravitation, calculation of the speed of light, the deflection force of the earth... It can be said that the rapid development of magic in recent years is completely dependent on the various magic theories proposed by this magic star, and these theories have almost never been seen before. Make a mistake!
"Maybe." Anthony replied hesitantly. His photoelectric theory was derived from Maxwell's equations.
He could think of the fact that light is an electromagnetic wave, and Linn, who told him the formula, should also be able to think of it.
Although he said this, Anthony was still a little unsure. After all, it was not an easy thing for an authoritative figure in magic to take the initiative to admit that his research theory was wrong and give up the glory that was so easy to obtain.
Just as he was worried, a sharp scream resounded over the manor. Anthony raised his head and saw his messenger flying back.
"Have a look!" Jeffrey was also very eager. The Gardel Eagle had just landed and he hurriedly asked Anthony to check the letter.
Anthony's movements were also not slow. After cracking the warning magic arranged above, he opened the letter and read it for a while. The expression on his face gradually changed from solemn to relaxed.
"How was it?" Jeffrey asked.
"That's it!" Anthony's words calmed Jeffrey's restless heart, and then he handed over the letter without caring.
Jeffrey took it and glanced at it carefully. After seeing the last sentence, "Light and electricity do have certain wave properties," a slight smile appeared on his face.
As for the second half of the sentence, Jeffrey didn't pay much attention to it. You can't expect the magic star to take the initiative to admit that his element model is wrong in the letter, right? You have to find a step to get down, right?
In fact, Speaker Lynn's ability to so directly agree with the fluctuation theory was completely beyond Jeffrey's expectations!
"I have said before, Speaker Lynn is very open-minded. He is not the kind of person who is stubborn and secretly suppresses those who oppose doctrine." Anthony said with a smile.
He remembered that the magic star had publicly stated many times that anyone was welcome to use rigorous experimental results to refute his magic theory.
Jeffrey smiled bitterly. Who wouldn't say polite words? His wave theory has encountered many obstacles in the parliament. Most of the members are staunch supporters of the particle school. If Anthony hadn't suddenly rebelled, he would be in the current situation. It will only get harder!
"Master Jeffrey!" An apprentice knocked on the door lightly and came in, interrupting the conversation between the two, and then reported respectfully. "We have just received notification from the parliament that this year's academic seminar will be held half a month in advance."
"It seems that the parliament can't wait any longer!" Anthony raised his eyebrows, but that's right. More than half of the Thunder Wizards have lost the ability to sense electric charges, so the Speakers can't help but be in a hurry.
Jeffrey nodded slightly, it was time to end this long-lasting dispute.
What kind of fluctuation plague? He thinks it should be called particle imbalance disease!
…
Two weeks have passed in a blink of an eye. Since the shocking news that Anthony, a key figure in the particle theory, suddenly switched to the wave theory, the public opinion in the entire Magic Kingdom has become strangely calm.
This is naturally because the Parliament has strengthened the censorship system of newspapers. At least the previous exchange of insults can no longer be published openly in major newspapers. If you want to publish arguments about optics and electricity, you must be rigorous. Logical derivation or experimental demonstration will do.
As a result, even the sales of newspapers have dropped significantly, which made editors of major newspapers sigh.
However, this calm is obviously only superficial, and the secret disputes are still continuing. However, the two universities are accumulating strength and preparing to completely refute their opponents at this year's academic seminar...
Amid such undercurrents, September quietly arrived, and tens of thousands of wizards across the continent rushed to the royal capital to prepare to participate in the most grand academic event in history!
