After unanimous review by several judges, a resolution was quickly passed to apply to Parliament for a Morning Star Medal as a commendation.
The wizards in the auditorium all looked at Glenn with envy. Normally speaking, as long as one gets the approval of the great wizards, the so-called application to the parliament is just a formality.
However, at this moment, Glenn stood up and interrupted, "Wait, masters."
"Do you have any new magical theories you would like to explain?" Lynn asked curiously.
"No, not really." Glenn shook his head, and then hesitantly said, "Thank you for your recognition, Master Lin En, but I want to know if you should have known about this spectroscopic device and the theory of original colors a long time ago, right?"
Lin En hesitated for a moment, not wanting to undermine Glenn's confidence too much, but he also knew that he had said too much, so after thinking for a long time, he explained. "Just over a month ago, I happened to do a similar experiment when I was in the kingdom, so I have some understanding of it."
Alok and others in the audience nodded in unison. They had all seen with their own eyes Dean Lin En using a small prism to conduct the exact same spectroscopic experiment.
"So that's how it is..." Glenn looked a little disappointed.
Although Lin En spoke very modestly, he naturally understood that the other party had already verified these two theories in advance. As a developer of glass, this was not surprising.
"In that case, I cannot accept this Morning Star Medal. It should be your honor..." Glenn was somewhat reluctant, but still spoke firmly.
He knew very well that as the recipient of the Corona Medal and the most shining magic star in the wizarding land, Lin En might not care about the ownership of the Morning Star Medal, but Glenn did not want such a charity. It was a shame rather than an honor for the magic school he founded...
When these words were spoken, the wizards present were all shocked, and Glenn's friends kept making eye contact in an attempt to make him take back his words.
You know, this is the Morning Star Medal!
At the annual academic seminar, usually only three to five people can receive this honor. It is no exaggeration to say that with this medal, you will become the focus of attention wherever you go.
Even those who are geniuses in academic research may only have one chance to be nominated in their lifetime, and if they miss it, they may not get it again!
At the judges' table, Raphael and others showed admiring expressions on their faces. Although they all believed that the Morning Star Medal should belong to Master Lin En, they were surprised and relieved when they saw Glenn decisively refuse.
Similar things have happened in the past. For example, at a society seminar five years ago, three schools of thought happened to be studying the same element and all achieved good research results. The only problem was that many theories overlapped to a great extent.
Of course, they couldn't give everyone a Morning Star Medal. Just to compete for this nomination, the three schools fought each other at the seminar, causing extremely bad effects.
Glenn's choice was undoubtedly much smarter. If he took the medal against his conscience this time, he would definitely attract some criticism.
After all, this is the first time someone has refused a nomination for the Order of the Morning Star!
Lynn, who was also sitting in the judging panel, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had not expected that pointing out the flaws in Glenn's theory would cause the other party to voluntarily give up the nomination.
Apparently, this was my first time as a judge, and I didn’t get the balance right…
Lin En reflected secretly. Of course, he had known these theories for a long time, but he was standing on the shoulders of giants after all. In comparison, Glenn and others were the real pioneers of magic! It would be bad if he undermined the confidence of these people.
Fearing that he might hurt the other party's self-esteem, Lynn did not insist on giving the award to Glenn, but just said it thoughtfully.
"Optics is a very new subject. Even the [Secret Society] does not fully understand its nature. Therefore, we are all on the same track. Since you have researched this spectroscopic device and the three primary colors, why not continue working on this aspect?"
"In addition to the three primary colors of visible light that can be recognized by the naked eye, there are many kinds of light that we cannot see. They are very strange and worth exploring..." Lynn talked freely and gave Glenn some suggestions on the research direction.
There are many invisible lights, such as infrared and ultraviolet rays. As long as you can research one of them, it would not be excessive to give you a Morning Star Medal.
If Glenn could study the nature of light, not to mention the small Morning Star Medal, even the Corona Medal, the highest academic award in the Wizarding Land, would not be enough to commend his achievements! Glenn listened to Lin's explanation very seriously. He was unwilling to accept the honor that came from charity, but it did not mean that he would refuse the other party's guidance. More importantly, he wanted to find out which fields no one had yet explored, so as to avoid his hard work in vain.
“Master Lin En, we can’t see these lights, nor can we perceive them through mental power, so how can we study them?” In the auditorium, an alchemist in the front row suddenly asked.
Lin En reminded calmly. "We can observe the characteristics of these lights acting on objects, analyze, classify and summarize them, and find a way to make an alchemical instrument that allows us to see and perceive them based on this..."
"Maybe magic transformation is also a good choice!" Sanchez on the side also suggested.
As a master of shaping magic, Sanchez naturally observed that different creatures can see different colors. For example, the giant monster he often transformed into was born color blind and saw many things in gray, white and black.
He had previously thought that the brains of these creatures were unable to distinguish colors, but now he realized that it was because they lacked the so-called photoreceptor cells.
"Well said, this is a very good direction!" Lin En nodded in approval. Some creatures have four types of cone cells in their retinas, and can see much more light frequencies than humans...
The power of wizards lies in their various magical spells, which allow them to transform themselves into these creatures for direct observation. Compared with using various scientific research instruments for measurement, this is a significant advantage! However, they had never thought about this in the past. When Lin En was reading a book on shaping some time ago, it mentioned that snakes are born with a kind of perception magic that can sense heat with their tongues. In fact, to put it bluntly, this thing is just infrared...
