Chapter 13 Summoning Newton
Lu Feng's chest rose and fell slightly, feeling a sense of exhilaration after completing the derivation.
At that very moment, system notifications kept ringing in my mind.
[Host successfully understood the cutting-edge technology blueprints: the fractional-order differential proof of the constitutive equation for elastic materials!]
[Reward: 2000 learning points!]
[Ding! Detected intense emotional fluctuations in the surrounding area (shock, self-doubt, worldview collapse). Emotional value conversion efficiency increased...]
[Congratulations, host, you have gained 250 emotion points!]
Lu Feng opened the system panel.
[Research Summoning System]
[Host: Lu Feng]
Current learning value: 11050
Current mood score: 1050
[Number of cutting-edge technology blueprints: 1]
[Number of entries: 1]
[Number of summoned experts: 0]
Eleven thousand learning points, and a little over a thousand emotion points.
Lu Feng himself was stunned for a moment. His emotional value had risen so quickly.
Whose drug did this person take?
Did you just add 250 yuan in one go?
Oh well, I've already inhaled it.
This world, where only Lin Wan broke down, was achieved.
The learning value and the emotion value are both sufficient.
Immediately afterwards, in the void in front of him that only he could see, the information database interface of "Big Boss Summoning" slowly unfolded.
Those gray human star icons, at this moment, were no longer unattainable legends in his eyes.
Who should we choose?
Einstein's theory of relativity was too advanced for our current industrial base to be applied.
Tesla's ideas are wildly imaginative, but many of them lack theoretical support.
Lu Feng's fingertip swept across the virtual panel, finally stopping on a name.
Newton.
If there is one person in the world who stands at the very pinnacle of both physics and mathematics, it is this name.
Classical mechanics is the foundation of all engineering disciplines, and calculus is the tool he uses every day now.
More importantly, Newton himself was the kind of person who could perfectly integrate mathematics and physics.
He invented calculus not for fun, but to solve real problems in mechanics.
This almost perfectly matches Lu Feng's current situation.
He had just mastered the drawing of the fractional constitutive equation in his hand, and he would be dealing with Li Hongde's gear dynamics project later. The intersection of mathematics and mechanics was the direction he needed to break through the most.
Choose Newton, you can't go wrong.
Lu Feng took a deep breath and clicked on the gray avatar on the panel.
[Summoning Confirmed: Isaac Newton?]
[Cost: 10000 Learning Points + 1000 Emotion Points]
A golden light shone in the center of the panel, even brighter than when exchanging for the black technology blueprint. The light lasted for about five seconds before gradually fading away.
The previously grayed-out portrait of Newton has now lit up.
The face of a middle-aged European man from the seventeenth century appears on the panel.
[Summoning successful!]
[The legendary Isaac Newton has joined your research team]
Communication channels are now open: internal space/external chat.
[Inner Space: You will enter a private space where you can communicate face-to-face with the bigwigs.]
[External Chat: Text/voice communication modes, available anytime.]
[Do you wish to enter the inner space immediately?]
Lu Feng's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the words "inner space".
Face to face?
Face to face with Newton?
He glanced around. There were a few people on the second floor of the library, but they were all engrossed in their own work and no one was paying attention to him.
Enter.
The moment he finished speaking, the world before his eyes changed instantly.
The library's bookshelves, tables and chairs, and the sycamore trees outside the windows all faded and disappeared from view, replaced by a vast white space.
The ground was milky white, and the boundaries were not visible.
There was no light source overhead, but the entire space had a uniform and soft brightness.
About ten meters directly in front of him, a man dressed in 17th-century European court attire and wearing a long, white, curly wig was leaning over a table with his back to him, seemingly intently adjusting something.
That was Newton?
Lu Feng felt his breath catch in his throat.
Seemingly sensing the presence of the newcomer, the figure straightened up and turned around.
A face that had appeared countless times in history textbooks appeared before Lu Feng, even thinner than in the portraits, with eyes so sharp they could pierce through one's heart.
Newton glanced at him, seemingly unsurprised by his appearance.
He casually picked up a bright red apple from the fruit plate on the table and tossed it towards Lu Feng.
"I'm working on a difficult problem. Have an apple first."
Lu Feng instinctively caught the apple, completely stunned.
No, is it really just one apple per person?
He composed himself and looked at the experimental apparatus that Newton was fiddling with.
It was a complex system consisting of several lenses, a mercury trough, and some precision metal supports.
Lu Feng recognized him at a glance.
This was an experiment designed by Newton in his later years in an attempt to unify optics and mechanics and to find evidence of the existence of "ether".
This experiment, in his original timeline, was never completed before his death because its theoretical basis was fundamentally flawed.
Newton ignored Lu Feng and returned to his workbench, his brow furrowed and muttering to himself, seemingly calculating something.
Lu Feng held the apple, unsure of what to do next.
After about ten minutes, Newton stopped writing. He stared at the complex formulas on his manuscript and fell into a long silence.
Finally, he turned his head and looked at Lu Feng again, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Friend, what do you think?"
Lu Feng's brain went blank.
What?
What do I think?
I'm here to instruct Newton? Is the script upside down?
He looked at the questioning gaze Newton cast at him and forced himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and his gaze fell on Newton's manuscript.
"Sir, you're trying to prove the existence of the etheric wind by observing changes in the interference fringes of light, and thus deduce the medium through which gravity is transmitted, right?"
Newton raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised that the young man could see through his core purpose so clearly.
"That's right, but no matter how I adjust the path of the light, the movement of the stripes contradicts my theoretical calculations."
Lu Feng certainly knew why.
"Sir, perhaps... the problem is not the path of the light, but the light itself."
"Light itself?" Newton repeated, his eyes scrutinizing.
"Yes." Lu Feng organized his thoughts, trying to use a way that Newton could understand.
"You've always considered light as a particle, but is it possible that light is also a wave?"
Wave-particle duality.
This term, familiar to physics students in the 21st century, shattered Newton's heart at that moment.
Newton's body jolted, and he stared at Lu Feng.
"Absurd! Waves require a medium to propagate. If light were a wave, then the universe would necessarily be filled with ether. My experiment is precisely to prove this!"
"But the experiment failed, didn't it?" Lu Feng met his gaze without backing down. "What if wave propagation itself doesn't require a medium? What if it's an energy field that propagates on its own in space?"
Energy field!
This vocabulary once again challenged Newton's understanding.
He didn't argue, but quickly returned to the table, grabbed a pen, and began writing rapidly on a new sheet of draft paper.
Lu Feng didn't continue speaking; he knew that it was enough to stop there.
For a genius like Newton, all you need to do is break through that barrier, and he'll figure out the rest on his own.
This time, Newton's pen moved faster and more smoothly across the paper.
He would sometimes stop, and at other times burst into a frenzied writing session.
Finally, he abruptly threw down his pen, picked up the triangular mirror on the table, and looked at the formula he had just written in the candlelight.
He completed the experiment, not on the instrument, but in theory.
Using the ideas provided by Lu Feng, he derived a completely new mathematical model.
Newton slowly turned around and walked up to Lu Feng. This time, his eyes no longer held confusion, but rather excitement.
He reached out and grasped Lu Feng's hand tightly.
"Thank you for your guidance, friend."
Lu Feng felt the warmth of the other person's palm and the sincerity that came from the heart.
"You're welcome, Sir."
