450 Everyone’s Experiments (2/2)

”It's becoming a new trend. Using the new words has been popular among younger sorcerers in Allyn, Rentato, Cooks, and even in the Solar Islands. It seems to have already become a trend, and whoever not joining in is falling behind,” said Barek, and then, looking more serious, he asked hesitantly, ”so Sir… You must have listened to the interview done by Lark, right?”

”So?” Brook turned around and looked at his student.

Barek tried to be brave. ”… I'm worried… about the experiment result.”

”Make your point,” said Brook calmly. When it came to arcana, he preferred to be straightforward.

Barek weighed his words, and said, ”I've done a couple of experiments before, and all the results favor the light quantum hypothesis, which now seems to be the only explanation for the photoelectric effect. I'm afraid that the accurate experiment result might not be on the side of the wave theory. So, Sir… I hope that when you conduct the experiment, you can put aside your beliefs. The wave theory still has its chance… we still have the diffraction image and a whole set of theory…”

Brook's jade-like eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses looked at Barek attentively. Finally, when Barek started sweating a bit, Brook looked away at the window again. It seemed that his green eyes could see through his demiplane and see the dark evening of Allyn in early spring.

”It's going to rain.” Murmured Brook.

...

In the headquarter in Allyn, on the thirty-first floor, which was a section specially for the Sky radio station.

During midnight, Truth of the World had come to the end. Arcana Voice had ended earlier, so no the entire floor was very quiet.

After drinking a tube of potion for throat protection, Samantha, who used the name Lark in the radio, walked out of the lounge in a good mood and was ready to go home.

As soon as she walked out, she saw that Lucien Evans was greeting the rest of the arcanists working for Truth of the World. She kept her serious and indifferent look, but asked curiosly in her silvery voice,

”Evans, why are you still here?”

It was very late. Ever since the two programmes started running smoothly, Lucien had never come here during midnight. What was going on tonight? Was it because of Mr. Brook and Lauren's experiment?

”Just finished some experiments in the institution. I know you all are still here, so I decided to drop by.” said Lucien briefly.

”Experiments? On the photoelectric effect?” Samantha got even more curious.

Lucien shook his head. ”No, Mr. Fernando's experiment inspired me, and I was using helium atomic beams to bombard some gases to see what I could find. Also, I used electron currents to bombard gold foil.”

”You're being too honest, you know? I might steal your idea.” Samantha slightly lifted her brow.

Lucien smiled. ”This isn't something fun. I had to sit there staring at the flashing light spots for a long time to seek for the traces, never knowing when I can find something, if there's any.”

”Umm… I feel that your honesty comes from the fact that you've already found something.” Samantha revealed a small smile.

Lucien shook his head again and laughed. ”You just simply don't take my words. By the way, the programmes have been very successful. You and Louise have become the lady in the young arcanists' dream. The only thing is that staying up late all the time isn't something good.”

”It doesn't matter to me. I'm an astrologer, and I'm very used to staying up late watching the stars. Now the programmes are recorded at night, so they can be aired on the next morning…” said Samantha, who was silent for a while as she saw the six-circle badge on Lucien's chest. ”… It's late. We can go and grab a bit, so you can better carry on your experiment.”

Lucien answered, ”thank you, but I need to head back now. When my magic tower is ready, I'll invite you all to come for dinner to thank you for the great effort running the programmes.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Lucien then turned around and left. When his figure disappeared around the corner, Samantha released a light sigh.

Coming back to the institution, Lucien walked back to the lab, turned on the magic circles beside the alchemical viewer to continue with the experiment, and recorded the data.

Beside his right hand on the operation desk, there was a pile of papers left in the corner. The papers were mostly covered under the other assorted stuff on the desk. But at the bottom, one sentence could vaguely be seen,

”Above are the accurate data record of the photoelectric effect experiment and its image.”
