I made science magic

As for the mental strength rating, Alex checked and found that his rating was only 0.4, which was 0.1 away from the minimum standard for an apprentice.

With a clear goal and progress, Alex was not discouraged. He immediately made up his mind that after returning, he must work hard to train his mental strength and reach the standard of a wizard apprentice as soon as possible. He then learned two basic spells in the magic network, namely [Hand of the Mage] and [Water Condensation].

Alex opened his eyes again and started to experiment. Under the control of the [Hand of the Mage], the books on the table immediately floated up.

"Magic, this is magic!" Alex was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He never thought that he would actually become a wizard.

However, an ordinary person's mental strength is limited after all. Even though Alex is a leader among the common people and has taken the [Spiritual Awakening Potion], after maintaining the [Mage's Hand] for about thirty seconds, he felt dizzy in his brain and quickly canceled the spell.

The potion master recorded Alex's performance one by one, and looked at him with a complicated expression, because from today on, magic miracles were no longer the exclusive domain of gifted people. He didn't know whether this change was good or bad...

In fact, there are many wizards who share his grievances against the magic network. Some radical wizards even maliciously hope that something goes wrong with the magic network constructed by the magic star.

Although the hereditary aristocracy of the empire was uprooted, there were signs of a revival. With the rise of status and strength and the improvement of the living environment, the theory of magical bloodline also quietly emerged.

The main point is that wizards are noble, and their bodies are filled with magical blood, so they can control the incredible power of magic!

However, before this trend of thought had time to develop a large enough audience, it was broken by the magic network constructed by Lin En.

The establishment of the magic network system means that even civilians who have no magical talent at all can gain power comparable to theirs through learning, so naturally there are endless voices of opposition.

Fortunately, this sound did not last long and became smaller and smaller. The reason was that more and more wizards discovered that the magic network was so convenient!

Calling on computing power to assist in promotion is just one of the functions. One can also intuitively see the remaining reserves of one's magic power, detect one's approximate physical fitness, assist in magic experiments, and even assist in combat to a certain extent - but this is an advanced option and not everyone can apply for it.

According to rumors, the magic star also plans to continue adding communication and currency trading functions...

This made the wizards who gradually became familiar with the magic network reluctant to give it up, and accordingly, the voices of opposition naturally decreased a lot.

On the other side, Lin En also received the experiment report of [Spirit Awakening Potion].

"A thousand people all succeeded? It seems we can consider large-scale promotion." Lin En thought to himself. He was not surprised by the result. It was just to let a person have initial magic power, which was not too difficult.

The only problem with large-scale promotion is the lack of materials. Each bottle of [Spiritual Awakening Potion] consumes a lot of magic potion reserves. Even if the parliament occupies the entire continent and obtains part of the church's magic potion reserves, it is only enough to make 50,000 bottles.

However, the gains from laying the magic network throughout the empire this time are also enormous. Now, there are 19,000 official wizards connected to the magic network, and more than 300,000 apprentices.

Lin En, who had tried the magic network link, found that with the help of computing power, he was only a short distance away from the limit of the nine-ring wizard.

Thinking of this, Lin En turned his gaze to the several open books on the table. Recently, he took the time to finish reading the books written by "Element Master" Artok. Indeed, he could only be described as crazy.

It was full of all kinds of groundless speculations and fantasies. Fortunately, Lin En managed to find some clues about quantization from the few words in it. It seemed to be related to his own soul. He also had some vague guesses about what to do specifically, but he was not 100% sure.

He has also found time to complete the quantum theory that integrates the special and general theories of relativity. It has been divided into ten manuscripts, which he plans to publish one by one. Only grand wizards and above can view them.

If they could break the great wizards' fear of microscopic phenomena before the war in which the Lord of the Undead invades this world begins, they would be able to recruit a few more legendary fighters.

Finally, there is the issue of obtaining antimatter!

This is the weapon agreed upon by Lin En to be used against the Lord of the Undead. It can destroy everything through the powerful force brought by the annihilation effect of matter and antimatter. However, how to obtain antimatter has become a problem!

Antimatter is like the mirror image of ordinary matter, just like the Taoist Yin-Yang theory, everything has a positive and a negative!

However, it is not the same as what many people imagine. Antimatter is actually not uncommon. Instead, it is everywhere. Positive and antimatter appear continuously in the surrounding space and in the body.

They exist for a very short time, often annihilating each other and releasing energy the moment they appear.

When this phenomenon was first detected, many researchers in history even said that the law of conservation of energy had been broken!

Because these particles and antiparticles appear out of thin air, they may even emerge from the vacuum without any warning.

Of course, subsequent research has proved that the law of conservation of energy remains stable, but a vacuum is not really nothing, or in other words, the Federation's technological level is not yet able to truly expel all matter and energy.

As for antimatter extraction devices, there are quite a few in the intelligent computer. For example, the most advanced antimatter extractor has an antiparticle trap inside that can capture antiparticles emerging from the vacuum and store them.

However, it is obvious that they cannot produce such convenient high-tech, so they still use some ancient methods, such as the collision between high-energy particles.

When enough energy is used to smash the particles together, some of the energy is converted into antimatter.

This requires the use of a magic high-speed particle collider, which he has already had built in secret, but has not announced to the public for the sake of confidentiality.

"I just don't know if antimatter can also be analyzed and controlled by magic..." Lin En thought to himself. This was also the problem that worried him the most, because mass production of antimatter was almost impossible at their level, and there was not enough time.

The only solution is to create some anti-hydrogen atoms, then analyze them through the [Great Disintegration], and then use magic power to mass-produce them, just like they magicalized nuclear explosions, and construct corresponding spells to perform [annihilation of matter and antimatter]!

While thinking, Lin En organized the manuscripts, and called Alok to compile some of the relativity manuscripts into a book, make a hundred copies, and send them to the great wizards in the parliament who were studying quantum phenomena.

It's a pity that there is too little time. There are only about three months left. If they could have a few more years, they would definitely be more relaxed...

Chapter 538: Reversal of Causality, Delayed Choice Double-Slit Experiment

In the Royal Capital, Magic Research Institute, Micro and Quantum Laboratory.

Dozens of great wizards gathered here to conduct a new round of double-slit interference experiments.

Although Lynn had conducted a similar experiment at an academic seminar a few months ago, and used indisputable experimental results to prove that quantum has both wave and particle properties.

But this result is really hard to accept. First of all, this so-called probability wave completely violates common sense and almost overturns the foundation of the entire magic science!

How can the world be random?

There is no way that truth is rolling the dice all the time!

As for the observer effect, it brings quantum theory to a very strange situation. Human consciousness can actually have a decisive influence on quantum phenomena, or in other words, microscopic particles are conscious and can perceive their observations.

This theory was incredible to many great wizards who studied microscopic theories, so much so that many people suspected that the so-called probability waves and observer effect were concepts fabricated out of thin air by the magic star in order to explain the phenomenon.

Just like before the theory of planets came into being, they all firmly believed that the continent under their feet was flat and that the sun, moon and stars were revolving around the continent.

In fact, this is just taking appearance as reality, so quantum theory must be the same!

In order to verify this hypothesis and stabilize the collapsing foundation of magic, these fifteen great wizards who had made great achievements in the microscopic field decided to improve the double-slit interference experiment.

Among these people are former scholars of the particle school, as well as founders of the wave school like Jeffrey.

Many people had an unhappy quarrel a few months ago and almost came to blows on the spot, but now they have put aside their past grudges and united together to determine the truth of quantum theory!

As for the measurement methods, they are also varied and full of imagination and strange ideas, but in general they focus on the opposition between waves and particles.

The biggest headache for the great wizards is the problem of detecting the paths of microscopic particles. Fortunately, with the gradual opening of the magic network, this problem has been solved to a certain extent.

These great wizards have three opportunities to mobilize the computing power of the magic network every week, each time for ten minutes, which means 450 minutes for fifteen people!

It has to be used sparingly, which is why they choose to get together instead of studying individually.

"Everything is normal in the 27th double-slit interference experiment!"

Jeffrey, who was in charge of the experiment, quickly adjusted the experimental steps. The goal of their experiment this week was very clear, which was to verify whether observation could have an absolute impact on the transformation of wave-particle properties.

Jeffrey's idea was also very simple. Since the phenomenon occurred when the electron passed through the double slit, why not wait for the electron to pass through the double slit first, and then investigate what would happen in the second half?

Because they did not observe the first half, the electron should not know that someone is observing it, and it might show a wave form and be caught by them!

Jeffrey explained his idea while putting on the electron accelerator. The conception and experiments over the past few months had consumed a lot of his energy. He had done many similar experiments before, but due to the problem of observation being too difficult, he had not been able to obtain good results.

And there will definitely be an answer today, Jeffrey is extremely sure of this - he has been waiting for too long. The last time in the City of Kerosene, he witnessed two colleagues being swallowed up by the terrifying energy wave. The fear of quantum phenomena has shrouded his heart like a nightmare.

Jeffrey knew very well that if he didn't solve this problem, he would never dare to step into the formation to be promoted to a legend!

"Everyone, let's begin!" Jeffrey took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and then opened the magic net.

An invisible magical field enveloped the entire place, and Arad and others on the side also connected to the magic network and used the function of shared perception.

The electron accelerator was quickly started, and one accelerated electron after another flew towards the middle partition at an extremely fast speed.

Jeffrey was concentrating and his mind was tense to the extreme, and the other great wizards did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Because the accelerated electrons fly very fast, it is difficult to detect them even with the reaction speed of a great wizard.

"Particles, it's particles!"

Almost at the moment the accelerator started, a great wizard shouted loudly, and a light appeared behind the partition.

Then another electron was shot out, and this time everyone felt it. The disturbance of the electromagnetic field was extremely obvious!

"This shouldn't be right!" Jeffrey frowned immediately. He waited for more than a minute and fired hundreds of electrons. As a result, all these electrons obediently passed through the single gap in the form of particles.

This was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Could it be that the distance is too close? How about trying from a farther distance?" Sanchez said thoughtfully.

In order to better capture how a single particle appears in multiple locations at the same time in the form of a probability wave, interferes with itself, and forms several striped interference spots for exploring the magic field, it is almost attached to the partition, just to capture this moment.

Jeffrey hesitated for a moment, then agreed with this guess and pushed the perception field back five centimeters. The result was the same. Then he gritted his teeth and pushed it back another ten centimeters, only less than one centimeter away from the perception screen.

In this state, they can only vaguely capture the trajectory of the electron, and cannot determine which slit the electron passes through, let alone see how the electron passes through the two slits.

But even after achieving this level, there are still only two clear spots of light projected on the fluorescent screen at the rear, which shows that the electrons are honestly in the form of particles and passing through a crack.

"Why...why does it know that we will set up perception magic in the rear?" Jeffrey muttered to himself, puzzled.

"Perhaps the domain is too large, and the electrons sensed the fluctuations in magic power, so exploration occurred!" Sanchez speculated again. "It is also possible that the particles passed through the gap in the form of probability waves before, but after entering the domain, they collapsed back into the particle state!"

"How is this possible?" Jeffrey frowned. "If it was still in the form of a probability wave when it passed through the slit, then interference would have occurred, and there would definitely be light spots on the screen that deviated from the area..."

The other great wizards also nodded, so there was only one possibility, that the electron had made its choice the moment it passed through the gap!

Jeffrey was extremely sure but unwilling to believe this guess, so he moved his perception field back another centimeter.

Just as the magic field just left the surface of the perception screen, a number of eye-catching bright spots appeared outside the two light spots, which meant that the path of electron movement was interfered with again.

This discovery shocked Jeffrey and the others. They felt a chill rising from their backs. The electron actually realized at this moment that its path could not be sensed, and then it was transformed from a certain particle into a probability wave again...

"Why...why can it know whether we have set up perception magic behind the gap?" Jeffrey muttered to himself, his face looking extremely ugly.

“Is it possible that it saw the sensory field in front through the gap?”

For them, the magical field of perceiving electromagnetic fields may be invisible, but it is possible that to electrons, it is a huge solid wall. So the moment it is emitted by the thermal field electron gun, it sees the perception field in front of it and then changes occur.

This conjecture is undoubtedly a bit outrageous. It not only means that electrons have consciousness and can perceive their perceptions, but also have a certain degree of vision.

"Impossible. Speaker Lin En has already experimented with this. If one simply constructs a magic field without observing it, the electrons will still pass through the two slits at the same time in the form of probability waves, and will show interference fringes in the back. So it can't be a problem with the perception field." A great wizard of the particle school objected.

"So what you mean is that the electron knew in advance that we would observe it? That's why it turned into a particle state in advance, is that right?" Sanchez shouted angrily. This judgment is even more outrageous than the electron having the ability to perceive!

This not only seriously violates common sense, it even violates the theory of causality!

Either electrons can see the future, or this thing can change the past!

"I've told you long ago that your method won't work, Jeffrey!" Arad said mockingly. In his opinion, such a strange result confirmed that there was a serious problem with the experiment designed by Jeffrey!

"You can, come on!" Jeffrey gave up his position and looked at Arad with a sneer. He wanted to know what the other party could do.

"My method is actually very simple..." Arad cleared his throat and took out a box more than half a meter high under the gaze of everyone!
