People's mood is very strange, because with a word or a change of thought, the world will be completely different.
What is lost is lost, and this cannot be changed. But Lin also broke free from the regret of losing.
During the rest of the journey, he would sometimes hum a little tune and follow the carriage on foot. Sometimes he would pull two dogs and run into the forest alone to hunt and add dishes for that day's dinner. When he began to enjoy the trip from an optimistic perspective, After three years of traveling, the people around me were also not used to it.
Watching people go from one extreme to another will also make the person watching crazy. They always feel that either that person is crazy or they are crazy. The two young apprentices were so depressed that they wanted to give their teacher a sap.
If the car and horse team had not had a scheduled itinerary to catch up with, and would have to deliver a lot of supplies to the Tower of the Great Sage, and would not have spent time waiting for a group of hitchhikers, Lin might have gone crazy playing all the way. He seemed to be trying to The grievances that had been suffocating in my heart before were swept away in another extreme way.
Originally, such a rash action was quite dangerous for the people who were targeted. But except for the attack on the first night, the rest of the journey was quite quiet, as if it had been forgotten by the world.
Even on the night of camping, Lin ignored the group of indifferent or intimidating escort soldiers. He sang the tunes of his hometown happily. Unfortunately, he didn't open the music skill tree, and his tone-deaf voice screamed. The pain of others is unbearable.
At this time, the two young apprentices looked at the Lich for help.
Originally, to get the former tower owner out of his troubled state, Fen didn't intend to continue to care about that guy's mood. Just saying that he was in a good mood that he could sing was torturing himself, so he had to find a way. solve.
Although she has objections to that broken voice, in fact, from Fen's observation, things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. At least she sees the possibility of deeply exploring the reality of the world. And to guide the people in front of her, just Issues that have been avoided before need to be discussed.
"Do you know what the nature of power is?"
A certain former demon king suddenly spoke, interrupting his interest. It took Lin a while before he said, "Are you asking me?"
"It's so pitiful. It would be a righteous act for you to stop poisoning my ears. Yes, of course, I am talking to you."
"Oh, it's the topic from before." There was no discomfort at all. Singing is an act of self-pleasure, and Lin didn't have to sing. Since Fen brought up a topic that had aroused his interest before, of course he continued to discuss it. . He said: "Since my previous emotion, I have thought about this question - what is the nature of power."
Although he was not sitting upright, Lin still straightened his body, looked directly at his predecessors who had traveled further than himself on the journey of magic, and said: "Power is an indescribable energy, a wave. Through a specific The medium, or the way it operates according to the rules, can produce a certain force and thus affect a certain range. This is magic."
"If that's the case, it would be better to call it mana or mana. Why are there 8 types of powers?"
"Well... this..." Lin had never thought about this issue. He also didn't want to improvise and talk about some specious things on the spot. He spread his hands and expressed that he had no answer. Fencai continued: "For example, Kiel, Jiang, Danba, what’s the connection between them?”
"Well, most countries have coins that are common in the Lost World. Generally speaking, the exchange ratio is one kiel for ten rivers, or two hundred Danba. The exchange and exchange ratio in various places will vary depending on the money.
The purity varies slightly.”
"It's the value you place on it, seeing them as similar things. But what's the essence of it? Is it the same?"
Isn't money just money? This was Lin's first thought. However, his ancestors played the 'white horse is not a horse' so smoothly. If he wanted to play the debate openly, Lin might not be able to win;
If you become a scumbag with sophistry, you will have wasted your time traveling across the earth.
But if you do this, you have to take the risk of a certain former devil becoming angry. If you really do it, it will definitely be your turn to become a scum, and there is no second outcome. So it is unlikely to play sophistry; that is, playing
philosophy?
The source of all knowledge must come from an ancestor who asked the first "why" since the beginning of the world, and then created a civilization.
In the process of the development of civilization, people continue to give things value and meaning. It may seem beautiful and enrich the connotation of civilization, but it does not cover up the essence of things.
One kil means that a gold coin is equal to ten rivers, a silver coin is equal to two hundred damas, and a copper coin. This is their value as money in the world of Midi. But gold is not silver, and of course it is not copper. Not only are their colors different
, the weight is different, and even the atomic number is different.
Before there was the act of trading, of course there was no so-called money. Gold was just gold, and silver was just silver. Of course they were different things.
And what does Fen want to explain through the metaphor of gold, silver and copper coins?
The initial question is what is the nature of power.
Why are there eight kinds of powers? And why can such inexplicable things, after certain procedures and arrangements, bring about supernatural results?
Many issues become increasingly unclear and confusing when transforming the magic tower. Although the magic tower is regarded as a large circuit board, the magic energy is regarded as electricity, and then programs are written to computerize the magic tower, but
Many of these questions have not been resolved and have only been vaguely mentioned. Lin has asked the word 'why' countless times in his mind.
After obtaining the means to detect power and defining its value, Lin used this method to detect all observable objects. The magic stone that was kept in balance acted on the consumption of magic, and the bones of the original lich,
Even myself, of course, I also have two young apprentices.
Then, I don’t understand even more...
In order for mana and power to be perfectly preserved in artifacts, it must maintain a balanced proportion. But in the human body, this is not the case.
Mana and power are stored in the human body. In which part is it? Internal organs, bones, muscles, and cells can be said to be everywhere, but they are not a whole, but they form a whole. Quite confusing? In fact, Lin is currently doing
Can't think of a better explanation.
The mana and power stored in different parts of the human body have their own balanced proportions, and even have a clear emphasis. The only thing that is the same is that all eight powers will exist, and there cannot be only seven or six.
Even less.
Then the most interesting thing is that when using magic, the amount of power consumed by magic is not equal to what one pays. In other words, when people cast spells, they will generate entropy, which is different from the magic tower casting spells.
The situation is different.
How much mana power the tower consumes with magic will produce corresponding power. Any additional losses can be found in the process. For example, the magic channel is long and the switching between magic arrays is blocked.
Switching between different functions must go through the steps of turning off and on again. Although this time is so short that people cannot detect it, it actually generates additional consumption.
This was most obvious when we were making Fen's exclusive weapons, the four guns. Considering the problem of mutual interference between miniature magic arrays, we tried many ideas, including knowledge from the earth and magic knowledge from the Lost World, but
There is still no gratifying progress in energy conversion efficiency.
Really speaking, there has been progress, that is, from the situation where he fell down after firing eight shots, to being able to fire nine shots and still stay awake. However, Lin did not dare to fire the tenth shot. The feeling after the mana and power was drained was really real.
It was so bad that he didn't want to try it again.
However, these problems do not seem to be a problem when it comes to the lich with many secrets. Without using magic stones for energy and purely using his own magic power as the energy source for shooting, Fen can shoot.
The number of times is... I don’t know?
The trigger of the gun was still retained. After all, this is the most intuitive way to judge shooting. Fen used two guns and held the trigger and fired continuously for about 30 minutes. He was so crazy that he fired about 30,000 rounds with one gun.
, the two guns had a total of 60,000 rounds, the eldest lady's patience was gone, and she did not intend to test it to the limit.
Originally, Lin thought that this was because of the difference in the accumulation of mana and power between the two people. After all, that one was an immortal lich who created a dark age of two to three hundred years and ruled the world for most of the dark age. Just...
Compared to my age, I am not even a fraction of others.
Now that I think about it carefully, maybe it's not just a difference in accumulation, but maybe the mana and power between the two people are different. Even...
"Are mana and power different things?"
"Oh, your thoughts are jumping really fast. I just asked a question, and you thought of this." Fen showed admiration in her eyes and looked at the man in front of her again. She said: "Although it is not completely correct, you have indeed
A threshold has been crossed.”
With such a clear reminder, Lin gradually understood the essence of some of the eight powers and what they might be.
Taking a similar example from the earth, there is no doubt that the most important thing throughout modern society on earth is electricity. However, there are many sources of electricity, whether it is green energy such as wind power, hydropower, solar energy, or traditional fire power and nuclear energy. Most of them stay at
Research on geothermal and tides in the experimental stage.
There are various sources. It is quite unreasonable to simply use the kilowatts of power generated and treat all power generation methods equally. Because the energy generated by the complete fission of one kilogram of uranium-235 is approximately equal to the energy produced by the complete fission of 2,500 tons of coal.
The energy released by combustion, so the same weight of uranium is worth 2.5 million times that of coal...?
Putting aside the theoretical value and actual energy conversion efficiency, coal cannot be used to make an atomic bomb...
