"This is a hypothesis made specifically to explain the photoelectric effect. It does not have the universality that a normal theory should have. It cannot be used to explain other phenomena of light, and it even completely contradicts the diffraction image. At the same time, it does not have any precision. Experiments to confirm this theory make people have to doubt that it is always just a hypothesis, a hypothesis that is rigorous, concise, and beautiful but does not match the real situation.”
"Arcanists have made a lot of similar assumptions, but when it is not universal and cannot be used to explain other phenomena, it often means that the direction of the assumption is wrong. For this paper, I have the same view."
"I believe that Mr. Lucien Evans himself has a similar view. He understands the contradiction between this theory and Mr. Brooke's electromagnetic system, and the contradiction between many classical optical patterns, so he finally added a word in compromise, stating that this is just The processing of instantaneous values, as far as the whole situation is concerned, takes on the character of a wave."
The more Roland wrote, the more annoyed he became. If he hadn't considered the master of the storm, considered that Lucien was an audit committee member like himself, and considered his status forged by honor and arcane level, he would have imagined Nessica and others reprimanding Levsky It is also a direct personal attack on Lucien, let him wake up, stop being immersed in the absurd dream of quantization, and open his eyes to see the stable and perfect arcane system.
Taking a deep breath, Roland wrote again: "And this hypothesis, which is similar to the variant of particle theory, is still based on the discontinuity of energy, which makes people feel ridiculous. Even arcanists who support particle theory will not have any problem with it Anyone who agrees, of course, Mr. Lucien Evans fully expounded his own ideas and gave us a lot of inspiration, at least let the photoelectric effect get a 'temporary' perfect explanation, so my evaluation result is: 'A copy with To a certain extent, there are only papers with discussion value for the time being, and you can apply to modify the evaluation results after you have accurate experimental results. At present, it is recommended to reward one arcane point and five arcane points.'”
In the final summary, Roland wrote very carefully and cunningly, and did not dare to expose his tendencies too much. After all, Lucien Evans is not one of those Arcanists who have no background and status. If he catches him, he will easily lose his position as an audit committee member. .
The reason why this paper is passed is that there are still some supporters of particle theory. If we grasp the contradiction between particle theory and Brooke’s electromagnetic system and classical optical patterns and directly return these papers, then the review committee who supports particle theory will All the papers on the wave theory would be sent back because they did not conform to the Douglas light speed experiment and the photoelectric effect. Roland had to make a compromise to a certain extent, enduring his disgust to pass this variant of particle theory—although the wave theory has already occupied a dominant position, but Particle theory is still tenaciously supported, and has not admitted defeat.
After writing the review results, Roland picked up his pipe and took a puff, then sneered: "Whether you want this paper to be read by other arcanists or not, I have decided to recommend it to Drummond and let him publish it in "Arcane ", as a semi-discussion article. Lucien Evans, are you ready to accept criticism and attacks from thousands of arcanists?"
"Because there is no other theoretical explanation for the energy quantum hypothesis, there are not many arcanists writing papers to refute it, so they can only forget it, but this time is completely different, you dare to directly fight against one of the two arcane systems , is the enemy of the vast majority of arcanists! With classic theories and experimental images, I don’t believe that no one speaks!”
After spreading out the paper, writing a letter of recommendation to Drummond and sending it away, Roland stood up, paced in the study with his hands behind his back, and whispered to himself: "The best way is to use the experimental results And images to refute, that will be decisive evidence, leaving no chance for Lucien Evans to justify, showing his weakness and powerlessness in front of all arcanists."

In the branch of the Song of the Silver Moon League located in Allinge, a middle-aged man with a strange appearance was reviewing papers. He has many tattoos in the shape of electric arcs. On his oval bald head, small electric currents burst out one by one, making him seem to have a thick head of silver-white hair. His eyes are slightly narrowed, and electric lights jump out from time to time.
"Has Lucien Evans finally exposed his identity as a supporter of particle theory? Or is he trying to use this to promote his quantum theory?" Teixeira, a seventh-level arcanist and eight-ring magician, revealed a smile A mocking smile, "However, no matter what his purpose is, this paper of his is worthless except for explaining the photoelectric effect. It must be the result of simply ignoring other theories to explain the photoelectric effect. Hmph, He can only raise it when the precise experiment cannot be carried out, otherwise he will have his head blown off by the experimental image."
"For the sake of writing so many words and formulas, let's admit that the paper is worth discussing. Hey, I don't know what that mad dog Altil thinks?"
Teixeira replaced the content of his inner self-talk just now with written language and wrote it on the paper, and finally wrote: "... It is undeniable that it has a certain discussion value and provides us with direction and inspiration for explaining the photoelectric effect. Two magic points and six arcane points."
He didn't have any prejudice against Lucien in the past, but now he is full of disgust because he attacks the electromagnetic system that is the basis of his cognition from the perspective of particle theory and quantum hypothesis.
If it weren't for Lucien's many achievements and rapid improvement in magic power, he would have doubted whether Lucien's true arcane level was as terrifying as the rumors.
Putting down the quill, Teixeira looked at the information on the photoelectric effect, which is a phenomenon that has troubled him recently. Looking at it, he couldn't help frowning: "If you substitute Lucien Evans' hypothesis, the photoelectric effect It seems that there is a reasonable explanation, and it is quite in line with the simple, intuitive, and beautiful pursuit of arcane achievements."
"Why is this so? A hypothesis that is completely inconsistent with the classical image can explain the photoelectric effect that contradicts the wave theory?"

Unwilling to see Brooke and his students and supporters arrogant, Altair settled in his hometown town. The black spire is the most eye-catching building in the town, and everyone who comes and goes is full of awe.
In the study room of the Magic Tower, the expression on Artier's face has changed from anger and disgust to appreciation and ecstasy: "Haha, light quantum, light quantum, don't think that I don't know you if you change the word description! This is the same as particle theory to find What is the difference between photons? One by one, with the smallest limit, isn’t it just a particle?”
"Isn't quantum processing of light just another explanation of particle theory? And after introducing the assumption that the frequency is related to the energy of a single photon, the photoelectric effect is perfectly explained. Haha, Lucien Evans is worthy of this generation of arcane The most outstanding genius in the division, the one who has the most hope of becoming a Grand Arcanist in the future!"
Lucien's previous artificial planet proposal helped Douglas lay his own theoretical foundation, and this time the light quantum hypothesis clearly stands from the perspective of particle theory, so Artier began to introduce him as a confidant.
"I would like to see what those idiots who support the wave theory use to overthrow this explanation? Are their classical theories and images useful in the photoelectric effect?"
Altir was full of energy, gritted his teeth, and smiled all over his face: "Except for the weak last sentence, this is the theoretical explanation that best fits my bounty so far, um, publish it, if there is no other explanation within a year , 50,000 arcane points belong to Lucien Evans! I really want to give it to him now!"
After sorting out the rubbings of the thesis and sending it to Drummond, Arthier thought happily: "From the perspective of particle theory, Lucien's previous quantum hypothesis of energy seems not so difficult to accept. I was Blinded by past experience…”

In the Magician Management Department, Eric received the evaluation results of Lucien's thesis.
Having witnessed Lucien's subversive or innovative achievements many times, he looked through the documents curiously, and his face turned livid. He is also a staunch supporter of the wave theory.
After flipping through the paper and looking at the descriptions of the two committee members, Eric really wanted to write something to refute Lucien's light quantum hypothesis, but suddenly, he thought about the periodic table of elements. That time, Lucien's thesis also seemed to have received a very low evaluation, but later it was confirmed by the accurate prediction of the discovery of new elements, which made the two committee members admit their mistakes and gave them a very high evaluation again.
"There are also many assumptions based on light quanta in this paper... Could it be..." The past experience planted seeds of doubt in Eric's heart, "Let's wait for the precise experiment to come out before discussing this issue..."
※※※
Under Roland's intentional disclosure, although there are still two or three weeks before the release of the next issue of "Arcane", Lucien proposed the light quantum hypothesis, and the matter of explaining the photoelectric effect from the perspective of particle theory quickly spread. Many arcanists cursed after reading this paper, but most of them, like Eric, did not dare to directly write a paper to refute it because of Lucien's past glory and correctness, for fear of being thrown out by him. The result of the experiment was a slap in the face, and under the huge impact, I am afraid that my head will explode.
Because of this, after they discovered that this hypothesis could indeed explain the photoelectric effect, they slowly wavered and prepared to wait and see for a while, only discussing and criticizing in private.
Such an atmosphere pervades Allinge, making Lazar, Annick and others feel indifferent and excluded, but Lucien seems to be unaware of it, and continues to improve the meditation method without paying attention. structure.
However, there are always radicals in any group. Near the end of the month, Lucien received a lot of letters, all of which were anonymous insults, threats and attacks.
Laughing and flipping through the pages, Lucien, who felt like he had become the public enemy of Allinger, suddenly frowned, because one letter was too radical: "...Maybe I can't kill you, but don't you think about it?" Your friends and students? Take back your absurd light quantum assumptions! Admit your mistakes to all arcanists!"
