As magic becomes more and more popular on the earth, people's use of magic becomes more and more common, and it is more and more integrated into people's lives. The most obvious manifestation of this integration is the emergence of various sports events.
Human beings have been crazy about competition since ancient times. From the ancient Colosseum to the modern Olympic Games, people have always been full of enthusiasm for competitions between people. As the saying goes, fighting with others is endless fun.
And with the emergence of magic, which can more intuitively reflect personal combat effectiveness and the powerful power of contestants, the competition has begun to develop in a direction that is simpler, more direct, and more eye-catching.
So there is indiscriminate fighting with limited magic power, and this is also the most popular sport in recent years. It has even become an important way to select talents, similar to the original college entrance examination. It has even been promoted from local competitions to
Winning the championship in a global competition often means being recognized as the strongest person on earth in this generation.
Of course, Lan Nuo will not participate, including all his clones. Otherwise, others will not have to play. Let's all come together to see how unparalleled he is in the competition.
As the event developed, the competition began to take on greater political significance.
The United Nations and the military have always hoped to gain a dominant position in these competitions, and use the winners to promote technology as the correct path for human development. Don't lose yourself in this magic just because of temporary benefits.
But this attempt has had little effect. The base of Nirvana is too large. Compared with some professional clubs and professional competition teams, the military's training of soldiers is more inclined to cooperate with each other in legion confrontations.
Rather than being brave in individual competitions, this resulted in them always suffering losses on the field. Even if they changed their training ideas, it would still be difficult to equal the first-mover advantage of the clubs.
…
In the training room of the special soldiers, Zhang Beihai took the document that had just been sent to him, read it carefully, and then placed the document on the table.
"Is my mission to win the next Magic Cup?"
"Yes." The officer responsible for communicating with him told him the details of the game: "In the Magic Cup, our biggest competitor is the Order of the Phoenix. They are the first and largest founders of the Extraordinary Club.
A large number of Nirvana practitioners are their supporters, so in terms of personnel quality, they are no worse than us.
And because their training of extraordinary beings is more focused on improving individual strength, they have a huge advantage over us in the competition.
And you are the most talented person who has emerged in the military in recent years. If you can win this game, then we will have a favorable propaganda high ground to popularize the importance of technology to the future of mankind to the people.
sex, to prevent human development from going astray."
Zhang Beihai nodded: "I will go all out to complete the task."
His words immediately caused cold sweat to break out on the forehead of the officer who was in contact with him: "You just need to work hard on the field, and never assassinate the opponent's players. Really... If we use this kind of off-game move,
It will directly lose credibility."
Almost everyone around the world knows about Zhang Beihai's deeds. In order for mankind to develop an interstellar spaceship, he would dare to kill even his own teacher. If he really wants to win the game by any means, he will definitely do it.
Assassinating all the opponent's seeded players outside the arena.
Zhang Beihai frowned: "In the information you gave me about the opponent's contestants, there are several that I am not sure of winning. In this case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task." This is not what a soldier should say.
But right now that's the reality.
Although Zhang Beihai is a genius who is unique among tens of millions, the human population now exceeds 10 billion. There are only 800 geniuses like this in the world. Even if they are, not everyone chooses to become a transcendent. On the field,
There are definitely many people who are as talented as him.
"You don't need to worry about this. We have our own secret weapon, which is also an important basis for persuading the public to recognize technology as the leader in human development." The officer responsible for communicating with Zhang Beihai took out a glass bottle, and through the bottle he could
You can see the light blue fluorescence inside.
"This is currently one of humanity's top secrets. It is a power that is different from magic. It has now been officially named Aura. Your task now is to use it and master its control skillfully.
Don't ask where this thing comes from? With your current authority, or even with my authority, you are not qualified to know the true origin of aura. You only need to know that this kind of power is more difficult to control than magic power, but it can be controlled.
But there are many more things than magic.
What you are going to participate in next is a real fight with no limit on magic power, no distinction, so there is no need to test the amount of magic power in the body before the competition. It doesn't matter even if all the magic power is replaced with spiritual energy. The official competition will be in two weeks.
, seize the time, adapt to the aura during this period, and don’t let down the organization’s expectations of you.”
Zhang Beihai took the blue fluorescent tube and followed the above instructions to activate his brain-computer interface and wirelessly connect with the tube. Under the guidance of regular neural signals, he felt that his spirit seemed to be
What is connected to is a deeper connection than manipulation through neural signals.
Then he saw that the light blue fluorescent substance in the tube began to squirm with his thoughts, and part of it had passed directly through the glass and squeezed out.
The spiritual energy contained in this glass tube is naturally controllable high-energy particles, and this substance is essentially a proton. Their size is small enough and can easily pass through the atomic gaps in the glass. This container only uses electromagnetic force.
, it’s just about constraining them. The real constraint strength is actually very low. It just ensures that these controllable high-energy particles don’t float around.
As soon as Zhang Beihai came into contact with controllable high-energy particles, he felt that this thing was much more difficult to control than magic power. The number of units he needed to control at the same time was at least ten orders of magnitude more than the previous nanomachines.
It must rely on programs for control, and even if it relies on programs for control, it can only be fuzzy control.
But at the same time, he also realized that the extent of this power was far beyond magic. He could affect the world at a more microscopic level. In the past, he could at most restrain the explosion of nuclear reactions and then guide high-energy particles.
To the same direction, this is also one of the most powerful applications of magic.
And this material in front of me...
Zhang Beihai concentrated his mind and relied on his own thinking and brain program, based on his previous experience in manipulating magic power, to control these blue fluorescent lights to gather together.
Then these blue substances were constructed between his index finger and middle finger, forming a silver blade. To describe the blade as thin as a cicada's wings is an insult to the blade. If a scanning tunneling microscope is used at this time
If you observe it, you can't even find its thickness at all, because the thickness of the blade is really only the thickness of a proton.
If you use it as a weapon for cutting, then I'm afraid there really won't be anything sharper than this in the world. No matter what you are cutting, as long as it is an existing material on the earth, it can be easily cut off with almost no force.
"Your talent is higher than we imagined. As you can see, the microscopic level of spiritual energy is much higher than that of magic power. If you have enough control ability, the power you can display will be greater than the use of magic power.
I don’t know how many times higher it is.”
…
There are some things that Lan Nuo is unconvincing to use. After all, he is too strong. Even if he participates in the competition and has the effect of crushing other players, people will only think that he is too strong.
It's not that what he uses is stronger than others.
Therefore, the task of using controllable high-energy particles to crush the Trisolaran nanomachines must be completed by someone other than Lan Nuo. Zhang Beihai is obviously a good choice.
The location of the second Magic Cup was chosen to be held in Rio de Janeiro, and the venue was chosen to be on the water. Although facing the Trisolaris crisis, humans still celebrated the festival with huge yachts on the sea.
The prototype of a sports stadium was created. Spectators sat in the auditorium on the yacht and observed the distant games through telescopes.
The vision of the spectators implanted with nanomachines has been adjusted to the limit of the human body. They do not need a telescope with a high magnification to see the game clearly. If you don't want to go through a telescope, there are drones that use cameras to view the game scene.
By taking photos, you can see the contestants up close.
Choosing such a competition venue also drew lessons from the first Magic Cup. That competition was held at the Xinxiang Stadium. As a result, in the finals, the contestants all used their own skills to beat the competition and completely overwhelmed the stadium.
It was demolished, and the audience even had to be asked to evacuate urgently in the second half of the game.
The temporary construction of a large stadium is really too luxurious for humans who are busy dealing with the Trisomy crisis. In order to save costs, the organizers this time chose to hold the event on the sea, and the stadium was
The former warship of Yisou Sou was directly converted into a yacht, which circled the arena.
If the contestants make too much noise, the surrounding yachts can be moved farther away from the contestants to avoid their impact outside the competition venue.
If there are such events again in the future, these modified warships can also be reused without causing waste, that is, building a venue specifically for the competition only to leave the venue idle after the competition.
With this design, more than 100,000 viewers can watch the game live. As for the number of people around the world who follow the game through live broadcast, it is even more difficult to count.
Human beings are such belligerent animals and have no ability to resist this kind of intuitive sensory stimulation.
Zhang Beihai sat in the contestants' rest area and observed the ongoing competition on the sea.
There are steel cables laid under the seabed, which can be regarded as infrastructure all over the world. With these steel cables as the foundation, most people can learn to fly, a skill that mankind once dreamed of.
This is also an important reason for placing the battlefield on the sea. Since everyone can fly, there is actually no need to compete on land.
Even if you have to use some down-to-earth methods of exerting force, you can completely freeze a piece of ice on the sea as a battle ground for both sides. This is not a difficult thing for magic users.
As soon as the competition started, the two contestants showed their strong strength. Each contestant is allowed to bring fifty grams of enriched uranium, as well as varying amounts of various metals and nanomaterials to participate in the competition. This is why the competition can be like this.
An important reason for the popularity.
The style of the first game looks like two space fighters constantly shooting lasers in the air. Both sides are Nirvana, and both have mastered the high-energy particle flow sword energy invented by Wu Mili. You chase in the sky
I rushed, and bright white beams of light shot out in all directions, evaporating the sea surface wherever they passed.
Fortunately, there is a water shield constructed of nanomachines in front of the auditorium, which can isolate the damage of attacks and radiation. The water forms a shield, which will not have much impact on watching the game.
Therefore, even if the high-energy particle flow sweeps by, the impact on the audience will be minimal.
However, although the entanglement at the beginning of the game was beautiful, it was not an evenly matched battle. It seemed that the player wearing a flame-patterned jersey had had enough, and suddenly controlled the field to condense into balls of high-temperature flames.
The flames instantly transformed into the shape of a phoenix, wrapping the opponent in the middle with nowhere to escape. The nine phoenixes blocked the world and gathered in the center, triggering a violent explosion on the sea surface like a cloud bomb. The explosion
During the process, his opponent had fallen into the sea, and rescuers on the sea quickly rescued him for treatment.
The audience cheered and shouted, and the host also explained excitedly: "As expected of the seed player of the Order of the Phoenix, Rodriguez's move Jiu Feng Chaoyang is really masterful, and he is worthy of being the favorite to win the championship!"
Zhang Beihai looked at his group, and then looked at Rodriguez, who was the most popular person on the field and was covered in flames. He probably already knew in his heart that the two would definitely meet before the semi-finals, and this should be
The first opponent who allowed him to use his spiritual energy.
The game was still going on, and soon it was Zhang Beihai's turn. In order to ensure the safety of both contestants, Lan Nuo himself was the referee for almost all games. For many players, the psychological pressure was actually quite high.
, after all, even if they finally win the championship, they are still aware of the huge gap between themselves and the referee next to them who does not look very impressive.
