In the process of studying with Niya, Xia Duo is also reorganizing his knowledge system. As the saying goes, "reviewing the past and learning the new", in this process, his understanding of Nese magic is becoming more and more profound.
.
And today, after completing the status update of Niya's knowledge star map, Xia Duo compared the star map and once again came up with an idea that he had had a long time ago——
"What are the rules of magic?"
Xia Duo knows many magic theories at the principle level, such as the same essence of elements and substances, the structure of spells (the existence of phenomena), the essence of the magic network, the immutability of magic, etc.
But most of these are rules summarized from phenomena. If a special case occurs one day, then this rule will be broken, and new ones need to be found.
Others, more specifically, based on these existing laws, have reached conclusions that are very clear and almost difficult to overturn. Chateau calls them "laws".
For example, the single-string transformation law of the magic network string, the law of spell construction in the plane (the law of element expression), etc., almost every spell element can be called a law.
Going deeper from the laws, there are specific spells. Chateau believes that magic and science are essentially the same thing, but the biggest difference in expression is here.
The formulas used to express laws and theorems on Earth do not have the ability to interfere with reality in any practical sense, but in this magical world, the laws and theorems themselves can directly interfere with reality.
So if we continue to delve deeper, is there a summary rule in a specific direction?
The answer is yes.
On earth, this may be called the "XX equation", such as the famous Maxwell equation; but in the magical world, what is the specific expression of the equation?
Almost all the theories below the principles of the magic world have their magic expressions, but what about the equations?
Is there a special spell that can manifest a certain pattern, and its form of expression is closer to the imagined origin of magic?
Sha Duo believed that there was, but he was not able to see the full picture of magic in the past - even though he could not see it now, at least he was aware of the possibility of the full picture.
Through this opportunity to study with Niya, Sha Duo reorganized the entire knowledge system and became more convinced of the existence of equation magic.
And I already have a certain grasp of the derivation process of one of the equations!
…
After arranging Niya's study plan and test question set for the next stage, Shaduo escaped into his subconscious world and conducted pure theoretical derivation.
In fact, if the equation he chose had not been ready for a long time, he would not have been able to conduct purely theoretical derivation in consciousness without the need for various experiments in reality.
The plastic energy equation was the first thing that came to Sha Duo's mind.
First of all, it is basic enough, or simple enough, and only involves the transformation of basic elements and energy;
In addition, evocation spells are also a type of spell that Nese mages have studied more. They belong to a branch of creation spells. There are many related theories and data (spells), and there is no need to design new experiments to supplement the data.
Other spells are different. Either the category is too large, the data accumulation is not enough, or a more specific classification cannot be found.
In fact, Chateau wants to obtain the equation spell of the state of matter, which means that he can perform more refined and even subtle operations on matter.
But this category is too big. In the so-called state of matter, does size count? Does weight count? Does composition count?
Various variables are mixed together. Based on Chateau's current self-understanding, he does not think that he can complete the derivation of the equation of state of matter.
It would be better to resort to the next best thing and derive the "Energy Shaping" equation spell, which seems to be of little use, but may actually be of little use.
…
Tower of Time, study room on the top floor.
Beside the projection window, Niya was writing furiously and casting spells and calculations from time to time, while Xia Duo seemed to be asleep, completely unaware of the movements in the outside world.
I don't know how much time passed, but Niya suddenly stopped writing in her hand and waved her hand in front of Xia Duo twice. When she saw that Xia Duo didn't respond, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Throwing the pen away, he leaned heavily on the back of his chair. He was about to adjust the content displayed on the projection window and relax, but the next moment, Xia Duo suddenly opened his eyes.
Their eyes met, Niya smiled awkwardly, moved slightly away from the back of the chair, picked up the pen and prepared to continue answering the questions, but Xia Duo smiled slightly, took the initiative to change the content of the projection window, and said:
"Take a rest for a while! It's time to take a rest after working on the problem for such a long time."
"okay."
Niya quickly put down her pen and moved the chair to Xia Duo. After sitting down next to Xia Duo, she glanced at the development scene of Daxia citizens outside the window and asked:
"Approximately how many more papers do I have to do?"
Although Niya does not deny that she has made rapid progress during this period, she has never studied with such high intensity in the past. Even after trying hard to adapt for a period of time, she still feels a lot of pressure.
The reason why she is asking this now is not that she wants to retreat, but that she wants to have a clearer understanding of the next study plan.
To this, Xia Duo’s answer is——
"There is no end to learning, and you can never finish all the test papers. However, this phased study still has an end. According to your current efficiency and progress, you will have to complete almost as many test papers as before, and it will be over."
"Ah - there are so many more!"
Niya raised her voice and looked at Xia Duo pitifully, but in the end she did not say anything like giving up, but asked: "Then will you always stay with me?"
"Of course, just like now, I will always be with you."
Xia Duo's words gave Niya a lot of encouragement, and now that the goal was visible and tangible, she was full of motivation again.
After sitting next to Xia Duo for a while, Niya moved the chair back, picked up the pen again, and began to answer the questions seriously.
Upon seeing this, Xia Duo adjusted the projection window to the blue sky, and then used the detection field of the projection window to cast a spell to extend his own perception field. In an instant, his perspective was divided into two -
One is still in the Tower of Time, opposite Niya who is working hard on the questions; the other is already high in the sky, with the bright red sun above his head, and below him the people of Daxia who are still working hard to open up.
Xia Duo was no stranger to casting spells with the help of the sensing field, but this time the spell he wanted to try was a bit special. After the sensing field circled above the territory, it quickly jumped towards the south.
…
At the foot of Wolf God Mountain.
After many years, there are still traces of the orc tribe's life here, but most of the stone buildings have been covered by overgrown trees and vines, making them look a bit desolate.
If he hadn't known about it beforehand, Xia Duo would have thought that this place was the relics of some ancient civilization.
He sighed secretly, and then started casting the spell.
