601 Another Hallucination (2/2)

”As long as you stop, I will satisfy all of your requirements.”

In his cognitive world, the model of the orbit of electrons changed again. The electrons in the form of clouds were separated naturally according to three quantum numbers. After moving randomly for years, they finally had their own distribution patterns. Protons and neutrons had similar changes, too, which immediately condensed Lucien's soul and cognitive world that were not very solid yet. The early version of the meditation method based on the wave-particle duality was finally upgraded!

The boundless, intangible, illusionary starry sky appeared again. Attracted by the strange and yet familiar force, the complicated and esoteric cubic symbols of magic appeared in Lucien's cognitive world and constructed into a weird, unimaginable magic model.

Since his cognitive world had half-solidified, Lucien controlled the range of his influence, making it barely possible for outsiders to notice anything wrong. If they looked at Lucien's 'Babel' from the blizzard, they would only see the weirdly shaking light in one of the windows, as if countless devils were dancing.

”Consider the values that do not agree with the commutative property of multiplication as non-commutation values…” Lucien did not stop at all but went on. ”…In the meantime, a pair of non-commutation values cannot be determined at the same time. If you know one of them accurately, the other will definitely be uncertain. For example, if you completely understand the speed and mass of an electron, you will lose track of it and can never discover it again…”

”…After deduction, time and energy are also similar. When time is shortened to a single accurate moment, energy will expand and plummet uncannily, and huge fluctuations of energy will appear in the vacuum… Perhaps, such 'vacuum fluctuations' happens around us all the time.”

”Ahh!” Miserable screams echoed.

”Wu!” Grievous moans echoed.

After the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle was written by Lucien, the 'devils' and 'angels' became desperate and then vanished into thin air!

The darkness and the snowy land were the same as before, but the snowflakes that had been flying like paper flowers stopped!

In Lucien's cognitive world, the weird magic model had been successfully constructed. It turned out to be a new legendary magic. Based on his intuition, Lucien could tell that the spell that was based on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle was a very weird one that seemed able to sabotage determinism, or the law of causality, which the arcanists of this world believed in.

Looking at the result of his deduction that matched the experiment data and empirical equations perfectly, Lucien closed his eyes. What exactly was the difference between the two worlds?

Why was there spirits and magic in one of them and not in the other one?

He had heard hallucinatory sounds twice. The first time, it was when he came up with the Planck constant, which marked the beginning of quantum mechanics, and the second time, he established quantum mechanics. Was it the reason behind everything? His mood might've been unsteady the first time, but he was certainly calm this time.

Lucien had read the introduction to the development of quantum mechanics in the spirit library. After learning a thing or two about the theories that were more magical than magic, more mythic than myths, and more fantastic than fantasies, he believed that he could find an explanation from the path.

”I have to pay a visit to the Furnace of Souls sometime. Perhaps, I can discover the secrets of souls from there and understand why the two worlds are different.” Lucien took a deep breath and made up his mind to visit the World of Souls. He would never be reassured if he couldn't unravel the secret. He would suspect the reality of this world and that somebody was manipulating everything. Other people might be satisfied as it was, but he would rather die than to accept it willingly!

Of course, Lucien was not a reckless man. He would never go to the Temple of Spirits unless he became level-two legendary and was led by the grand arcanists such as President Douglas.

Calming himself down, Lucien drew out the part about the uncertainty principle and kept it in the internal pocket of the Robe of Grand Arcanists. Then, he eliminated the proof that matched the experiment data and the empirical formulas in the remaining part, planning to let the arcanists finish them. It would be easier for them to accept the theory if the results of their deduction based on the theory matched the experiment results.

After he sorted out the paper and kept it in his storage bag, Lucien realized that it was already six o'clock in the morning, and it was still the most intense darkness outside.

”The night has passed without me knowing it…” His hands in his pockets, Lucien walked to the window and looked at the cold, gloomy night and the snow that was reflecting shimmers. He observed in a low voice, ”The darkness before dawn is truly the deepest and heaviest.”

Hardly had he concluded his sentence when an orange light broke the heavy darkness and drove away the coldness from far away.

The sun rose slowly, spraying brilliance that dyed the snow red, making it look like a furious fire that was burning in dreamy and glamorous colors.

The overwhelming snow began to melt, unfreezing the world, as if the 'fire' burnt up the obsolete stuff and brought a new order.

The splendid fire spread from before Lucien's eyes all the way to the infinite horizon. He couldn't help but narrow and eyes and said to himself: ”Dawn is here.”

Yes, the dawn of the new alchemy had come!

Just like the sun, it would never be stopped again. It would illuminate the era with its light and heat!
