Things such as sound, electricity, magnetism, light, color, heat transfer, thermal radiation, chemical reactions, and even the formation of life ultimately come from electromagnetic force!
Even if a person spends his entire life exploring any branch of the field, he may not be able to fully understand it.
This is also the reason why Lin En did not cling to this knowledge and develop related magic on his own. After all, it is a pipe dream for him alone to summarize and organize the crystallization of thousands of years of human wisdom, combine it with magic, and deduce it to a higher level.
Whether it is the development of science or magic, it cannot be accomplished by one person...
Although most of what Lynn explained were electromagnetic phenomena in the macroscopic field and had not yet touched upon the more profound electromagnetic quantum theory, it was already particularly shocking to Anthony.
Originally, Anthony thought that his understanding of the Thunder was profound enough, except for the most critical cause. However, after Lynn's explanation, he was shocked to find that his knowledge was so shallow!
Electrons, electric charges, alternating current, direct current... as well as constant magnetic field, alternating magnetic field, pulsating magnetic field...
All these concepts and nouns rushed into his brain, making Anthony feel ashamed of his research over the years.
Although he created many powerful thunder magics, discovered the phenomenon of electricity generating magnetism, and even created alchemical runes that could induce electromagnetism, his understanding of thunder and lightning was undoubtedly superficial.
"Sir Lin, I wonder which master or legendary wizard is the research result of these theories..." Anthony asked curiously.
"The development of electromagnetism is not the result of the efforts of one or two people, but the joint research result of many scholars in the Secret Society..." Lin En began to speak.
"For example, Master Faraday discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, Master Ampere measured the direction of magnetic flux lines, Master Millikan used the oil drop method to measure the charge of an electron, and so on..."
In order to fit the identity of a wizard, Lin En tampered with the stories of these sages into a different form.
Anthony couldn't help being fascinated just by listening to it, and he wished he could join them and discuss and study the mysteries of the electromagnetic field with these masters.
However, what surprised him was that Lin En did not mention his own contribution, but had such a deep understanding of the development and inside stories of electromagnetism!
This is obviously abnormal. Magic doctrines and theories are so valuable that no one would pass on all their research to another person without reservation, unless it is a master-apprentice inheritance, academic exchange between peers, or for other purposes.
For example, just now Lin En explained to him many electromagnetic theories and phenomena, but he still avoided talking about many key issues and spoke very vaguely...
Of course Anthony could see that these were all hooks, but his thirst for knowledge made him unable to care about so much. Even if there was a poison inside, he wanted to taste the sugar coating first.
Lynn talked for a long time, and after arousing Anthony's emotions, he took out his trump card!
"There are many theories that describe electromagnetism, but generally speaking, they can all be summarized in this set of mathematical equations!"
The moment Lin En finished speaking, extremely bright spots of light lit up in the void. They gradually gathered together, outlining four mathematical equations composed of letters and symbols.
They are Gauss's law describing how electric charges generate electric fields, Gauss's law of magnetism that explains the non-existence of magnetic monopoles, Maxwell-Ampere's law describing how electric current and time-varying electric fields generate magnetic fields, and Faraday's law of induction describing how time-varying magnetic fields generate electric fields.
This formula can be said to be the culmination of everything. It unifies electricity and magnetism in a nearly perfect way, predicts that light is an electromagnetic wave, and lays the foundation of electromagnetism!
Chapter 236 Anthony: Could it be that you are Lynn Maxwell?
"This is the answer to electricity and magnetism - I call it Maxwell's equations!" Lynn's indifferent voice echoed beyond time and space.
Anthony stared at the series of complex mathematical formulas in front of him and memorized them firmly in his mind. Without annotations and explanations, he had no way of figuring out what each symbol meant.
But the precise mathematical formulas and Lin En's words made him firmly believe that it must contain the most profound electromagnetic theory.
"Maxwell's equations..." Anthony murmured softly. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and now it was time for him to pay!
However, Anthony could not imagine what knowledge he possessed that could rival the final answer of electromagnetic magic.
Is it the formula for converting magic power into lightning? Or is it the experience gained from studying thunder magic? Or is it the alchemical rune that can induce lightning and magnetism...
Anthony fell into deep confusion. How could he come up with such a superficial thing?
The other party will only understand it more deeply than he does!
Another thing that he values the most is the entire wizard school, but if you think about it, you will know that the [Arcane Society] only recruits elites and they don't think highly of his apprentices at all.
Anthony thought about it, and finally, as if he had thought of something, his eyes burst into a brilliant light, and he immediately fell in front of Lin En, saying in a trembling voice, "I have no way to repay your selfless teaching, please allow me to become your disciple and learn the secrets of electromagnetic magic with you!"
Lin En was completely stunned. He used Maxwell's equations as bait in exchange for Anthony's research results on thunder magic. After all, the other party had developed six-ring thunder magic and must have his own unique insights into the conversion principle of magic and electromagnetism.
However, he did not expect that Anthony, already an old man, would actually want to worship him as his teacher.
Lynn didn't know that after seeing the Faraday cage, the principle of lightning generation and the planet's magnetic field, Anthony no longer had any confidence in his research results.
Apart from equal exchange, the only way Anthony could think of to get the other party to continue explaining to him was the master-disciple inheritance!
As for the age issue... Anthony would not judge people by appearance. He knew that some powerful witches would usually use unicorn blood and the juice of the magic quill to brew a special alchemical potion to keep their appearance in the best condition.
So Anthony guessed that the other party was most likely a great wizard who had the ability to maintain his youthful appearance, or even a legendary wizard who liked to pretend to be young...
After all, knowledge reserves cannot be faked. In addition, the wizard in front of him has the authority to control the projection of the universe, so a bold idea emerged in Anthony's mind.
The other party was the key figure who summarized the electromagnetic theory and one of the senior leaders of the [Secret Society] - Lynn Maxwell!
Only the originator of this theory is qualified to pass on this equation representing electromagnetic magic to another person!
It was because of this that Anthony did not hesitate to throw away his so-called face and asked to become the other party's disciple. Perhaps in his lifetime, he would still have the hope of breaking through the six-ring wizard and even glimpse a higher level - the legendary realm!
After a brief moment of surprise, Lin En quickly came to his senses. He neither agreed nor refused, and a smile appeared on his lips. "It's too early to talk about this now. When you have learned all the knowledge of the Olympiad mathematics, we can talk about it..."
"This is the basis for learning Maxwell's equations!" As Lin En spoke, countless spots of light reappeared in the void and turned into a large number of complicated symbols and formulas.
Solid geometry formulas, curve equations, finding limits... countless calculus equations and theorems cover almost every corner around us.
Yes, the prerequisite for learning Maxwell's equations is calculus, which was also a trap that Lin En had deliberately set before.
Using the lofty electromagnetic equations as bait, if the other party wants to learn, they have to start with calculus, which is a long process.
He could exchange it for the other party's research results over the years. By the time Anthony really started to study Maxwell's equations, his own strength had improved to another level, so he no longer cared.
However, the other party was very sensible, and Lin En didn't mind speeding up the process!
Lin En's mind moved, and these equations floating in the void rushed towards Anthony, turning into light spots and merging into the other's body. He was ready to make an attempt!
Anthony immediately felt that something was hitting his brain. After hesitating for a moment, he released the mental protection he had built.
A large amount of unfamiliar knowledge immediately flooded into his mind. For a moment, Anthony was so shocked that he was a little dazed and completely immersed in these exquisite Olympiad mathematical formulas and symbols.
Sure enough!
Lin En's eyes flickered. When he learned that the intelligent brain could break through other people's mental defenses and mobilize computing power, he was considering whether he could engrave some of the knowledge into the other party's mind.
Now it seems that it is possible.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that he can help people master certain knowledge immediately; at most it can just speed things up.
Because knowing and learning are two different things!
This method is just like forcing the contents of a book into your mind. If you want to fully understand it, you have to study and research it slowly.
……
About ten minutes later, Anthony's consciousness broke free from the magic field, and a group of wizards from the school who were waiting nearby immediately surrounded him.
"Teacher...what happened? Are you okay?" Fulla asked with great concern. Soon after activating the ring, Anthony's expression began to change drastically, and his body was shaking slightly, looking very abnormal.
"I'm fine. No, I'm very good!" Anthony stood up from his seat, his face full of excitement. At this moment, he did not look like a pale-haired old man. His whole body seemed to be filled with new energy.
Flora and the others were frightened by Anthony's excessive reaction, and then they sensed a strong wave of magical power emerging from the other party's body.
Dense electric arcs began to appear around Anthony, and the metal products in the secret room seemed to be pulled by something, shaking rapidly and flying towards Anthony.
Accompanied by a violent thunder, the iron spoon, ornaments, and sword blade began to twist and melt under the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees and the effect of the magnetic field...
Anthony's magic power surged, and its intensity continued to rise without stopping, even exceeding the previous level, reaching a new level...
Chapter 237 Advanced Material Deconstruction Technique!
At this moment in the secret room, Fulla and others were forced into a corner by the sudden flash of thunder and Anthony's terrifying aura.
"Teacher, has he been promoted?!" A wizard looked at everything in front of him in horror and said in disbelief.
He knew clearly that his teacher Anthony had been stuck at the level of a five-ring wizard for more than ten years, and had lamented more than once that he was already over a hundred years old, and that his physical strength and energy had reached their limits, and that he was afraid of having no hope of advancement.
Unexpectedly, this time, after communicating through a ring and discussing with the young-looking wizard for more than an hour, he was promoted again.
Anthony had no time to pay attention to them. He was concentrating on feeling the lightning and changes in the magnetic field. In a trance, he actually sensed what Lin En said... the existence of electric charge!
But this thing was very strange. Anthony couldn't even tell whether it was a mass of fluid or a single element. He could only vaguely realize that it 'seemed' to exist somewhere, but when he tried to perceive it more deeply, the charge suddenly disappeared...
Immediately afterwards, Anthony came out of this strange state, and then he was shocked to find that he had been promoted to a six-ring great wizard!
However, in the past he was just one step away from success. This initial contact gave him a glimpse of the mysteries of the microscopic world, which naturally allowed him to take this final step!
The thunderstorm in the secret room soon subsided, and Fula and the others gathered around him, saying in surprise: "Teacher, are you already a six-ring wizard?"
Anthony stroked his long beard and nodded, "Yes, I have learned a lot from discussing the secrets of thunder magic with that master this time. I have gained a lot and gained some insights."
Seeing that her idolized teacher actually used a honorific, Fulla couldn't help but frown. "Is that wizard named Lin En really that powerful?"
"I should have told you before, Fulla, don't be fooled by the appearance of things. Appearance is the most superficial thing!" Anthony said disappointedly.
After personally experiencing the magic and weirdness of electric charge, Anthony's assessment of Lynn's strength was raised to a higher level.
With such a profound understanding of electromagnetism, the other party must have reached the legendary realm!
After learning that Lin En might be a legendary wizard who was quite old but liked to pretend to be young, Fulla and the others quickly put aside their discomfort and began to imagine what the rumored wizard land would look like.
……
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the dean's office of Yieta College, Lin En opened his eyes and withdrew from the magic field.
Having successfully fooled another great wizard, Lin En was naturally in a good mood.
Ever since he proposed the [Secret Law Society], an organization that didn't exist at all, he gained a lot of convenience, but at the same time, it also created a hidden danger. He was almost always thinking about how to make it happen.
Fortunately, Helram's magic field provided him with a gathering place, and now he also pulled in Anthony's school. When the time comes, he will go to the territory of the Kingdom of Hadratha and fool more wizards with academic spirit, so that the most basic framework will be built.
After that, you just need to develop slowly and you will be able to cope with it.
Thinking of this, Lin En quickly studied another function of the magic network that he had just discovered - that is, it can engrave knowledge into the opponent's mind, and at the same time break the opponent's mental defense without anyone noticing.
Previously, the intelligent brain took advantage of the gap in transmitting knowledge to speed up the cracking of the mental frequency, and now it can mobilize about 5% of Anthony's computing power.
Don’t underestimate 5%. The improvement in computing power is even greater than that of the twelve three-ring wizards including Tik and Alva combined!
Lin En was thinking about whether he should create a knowledge exchange function so that more people could be incorporated into the magic network system.
[Detected that target No. 14 has a strong mental fluctuation...]
"Anthony has... made a breakthrough?" Lin En paused, and immediately had a guess. Judging from the mental power assessment given by the intelligent computer, he should have made a breakthrough from the fifth-ring great wizard to the sixth ring.
