Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 80: The trajectories of stars

In the corner of the Rainbow Tower, there was a solitary and independent tower.

This tall tower located in the lush forest was not a straight structure, but a spiral building. It was full of a strange aura, but also exuded a wonderful sense of beauty.

This was the organization of the mages of the astrology system, the headquarters of the Stargazer.

In an office in the tower, a middle-aged man was contemplating.

His fingers kept tapping on the desktop, as if he was thinking of a difficult problem. The man frowned, holding a beautiful quill pen in his hand, but he didn't write any words for a long time.

Knock, knock...

As the man maintained this posture, a rapid knock on the door rang, interrupting his contemplation.

He raised his eyebrows, but quickly sighed helplessly, and put the quill back into the ink bottle.

"Come in."

After receiving the man's response, the knocker pushed the door and entered. It was a young man with the popular mage robe from the Rainbow Tower. The cuffs of the young man were five golden stripes.

"Fenrir, what's the matter?"

The man asked. His student has always been unsteady, but now he looked very anxious.

"Professor, I received an academic paper."

The student called Fenrir said respectfully and put the copy of the paper in his hand on the man's desk.

"An academic paper?"

At this time, the man remembered that his student was serving as a reviewer of the thesis review committee. This was instructed by him, and it was to make this reckless student more mature.

However, what Fenrir received should be the papers of low-level mages. Why did he want to tell him this?

"Professor Regens, this is a paper on mathematics, and the author is Reiner Ian Gray."

Fenrir added.

"Mathematics? Reiner Ian Gray? "

The high-level Mage Wilder Regens looked at the cover of that paper.

Reiner Ian Gray's thesis on the electrolysis of water had been spread in the Rainbow Tower. This young apprentice mage was very popular with mercury balances, but for Wilder, this was just an ordinary genius. So he did not pay much attention to him.

Wilder had long felt that the theory of the four basic elements had serious loopholes, and it was only a matter of time to be overthrown. Reiner Ian Gray had just followed the trend of history and found a fish that had slipped through the net.

But now it seemed that this Reiner Ian Gray still had some knowledge of mathematics?

But even so, it had nothing to do with him.

Wilder glanced at his student without opening the paper.

"Professor, this paper describes a brand new coordinate system. I think this may be helpful to your research."

Fenrir understood what the professor meant and explained.

He knew that his professor was studying the law of movement between stars, and he already had certain observational data and conjectures, but it was difficult to prove it mathematically, which caused many people inside the stargazer to mock him. In the eyes of most mainstream astrologers, the trajectory of the stars should be a perfect circle rather than the weird ellipse that Wilder insisted on.

It was at this time that Fenrir happened to get this paper. After reading it carefully, he hurriedly rushed here, hoping to help the professor.

"Coordinate system?"

Wilder didn't have any thoughts at first, but when he picked up the paper under the gaze of his student and saw the title, the calm high-level mage was also surprised.

"The derivation of the curve equation?"

It must be mentioned that at the moment, it was difficult for Wilder to establish a complete and concise way to prove his thoughts. Regardless of the content of this paper, at least the research direction was indeed in line with Wilder's theory.

It seemed that his student was not useless.

Glancing at Fenrir, Wilder opened the paper.

At the very beginning, Wilder read the polar coordinate text very slowly. He picked up the pen and followed the paper to perform calculations. When he fully understood the meaning, he put down the pen and sighed softly.

"What, what's wrong, professor?"

Fenrir originally thought he could help his professor, but looking at Wilder, who was frowning at this moment, he was slightly dispirited.

"I'm just sighing that I actually ignored such a simple thing. The idea of setting up this polar coordinate is not difficult, but it is very clever. Perhaps when you are in a high position, it is indeed easy to overlook some basic things."

While explaining, Wilder turned to the discussion about the curve equation.

The derivation process here seemed very simple to Wilder, who had already understood the polar coordinates. When he saw Reiner unifying several common curves into a functional equation, Wilder felt a buzzing in his brain.

Wasn't this the answer he had dreamt of!

He stood up abruptly, causing Fenrir next to him to back up several steps in fright, then Wilder immediately sat down again, picked up the quill, and continued to calculate.

Wilder had three conjectures about the movement of stars, and at the moment, he was verifying these conjectures with polar coordinates.

The first conjecture... established!

This was the most basic conjecture. Wilder believed that the trajectory between the stars orbiting the sun was not a perfect circle as he thought in the past, but an ellipse. At this time, the observation data was substituted into it in the form of polar coordinates. The derived result was exactly the polar coordinate equation of the ellipse!

The second conjecture... established!

According to the first conjecture, Wilder calculated that when the stars revolve around the sun, the area swept by the line between the stars and the sun per unit time was equal, which meant that the stars were not moving at a uniform speed!

The third conjecture... established!

The third conjecture was to demonstrate the relationship between the time it took for a star to revolve around the sun and its orbital semi-axis. This conjecture could be easily proved if both the first two conjectures were established!

The three conjectures that had troubled Wilder for a long time had been proved mathematically. From this moment on, these three conjectures were no longer just conjectures, but laws!

Regens' three laws about the movement of stars!

Wilder felt his heart lake turbulent like never before. Above the turbulent lake surface, stars were moving in strange trajectories, which were not perfect circles, but ellipses with different shapes!

This was feedback from the world!

He closed his eyes, and after a long time, Wilder slowly opened his eyes and felt the majestic power in his body. There was no doubt that he had received enough feedback through the establishment of these three laws. With only a little preparation, he would be able to successfully reach the Ninth Ring realm, and he was now only one step away from becoming the legendary mage.

Wilder looked at the paper again and couldn't help sighing again.

"Professor, is there any problem?"

Fenrir, who dared not speak, felt the magic resonance in the room before. He vaguely knew that his professor had received feedback from the world, but he did not understand why he still sighed.

"I just can't help but think that if the person who wrote such a paper could join our stargazer, he would definitely become the most shining new star, but unfortunately, he was snatched by the people from the mercury balance early."

Shaking his head, Wilder said helplessly
