"On the way, I saw the ingenious and wonderful mechanisms in this treasure house that are in harmony with the power of nature. After deeply understanding the principles of attacking the mind and observing objects, I finally met Master Lu."
Knowing that he suddenly broke into Yang Gong's treasury, it was difficult not to arouse the other party's vigilance. Zhao Qing was not dissatisfied because Lu Miaozi manipulated the mechanism to attack. He just glanced at the core of the real treasury behind the main hub room.
Taking a quick look, I felt that there was a copper can hidden inside.
When he realized that the ultrasonic waves he had excited were transmitted into the inside of the copper tank, he found out that it contained extremely high-density liquid. If the prediction was correct, the tank should contain a large amount of mercury, and the mercury contained the evil emperor's relic.
Near the copper pot containing the evil emperor's relics, the vitality of heaven and earth is faintly combined with a small human-shaped area. There is no doubt that a peerless master who combines heaven and man and has mastered the method of invisibility is hidden. There is a high probability that it is Xiang Yutian.
myself.
"The heart has its own nature, and things have their own nature. The study of ingenious mechanisms requires summarizing the principles of nature, everything, and everything. Only then can we truly enter the room and gain a glimpse of its deeper mysteries."
Hearing Zhao Qing's evaluation of Yang Gong's treasure house, Lu Miaozi replied sincerely, and at the same time, she was shocked. She felt that although it was only the first time she met the other party, judging from the essence of her words that pointed to the art of dexterity, there was no doubt that she could
Become your own confidant in this area.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret. Without asking why, he controlled the central winch to trigger multiple destructive mechanisms in the fake warehouse. If Zhao Qing hadn't been so powerful, he would have almost injured the other party, creating irresolvable conflicts.
.
This is undoubtedly a reckless move, which shows that I have lost the mentality of my youth without knowing it. When faced with a stranger who has cracked my own mechanism, I no longer have curiosity and try to communicate with each other for mutual improvement, but instead
Killing someone because of the possibility of danger.
Could this change in character be due to the influence of demonic energy?
However, the other party happened to be the Zhao Qing whom I had talked to Lao Xiang not long ago. He was suspected of the existence of evil spirits, and it happened to fit the characteristics of Xie Tiao who often robbed tombs and was good at the study of mechanisms. Although he seemed to have a friendly attitude, he did not rule it out.
She poses a great danger.
…
It could be seen that Lu Miaozi had summarized many principles based on the knowledge of mechanisms and ingenious weapons. Zhao Qing was thoughtful and felt that the other party was indeed worthy of his title of the most skilled craftsman in the world and was close to the stage of developing science.
For example, the tunnels connecting Yang Gong's treasury to the inside and outside of the city used rail trains driven by water power and gear nooses to transport a large number of gold weapons in the treasury. Although the speed of the vehicles was quite slow, the concept was quite advanced.
"Through never-ending exploration and practice, we discover the laws hidden among nature, heaven, earth, and all things, and thus establish a systematic system of divisions and classifications. In my opinion, it is by no means a simple 'study of clever mechanisms'
, but something much more important, which can be called 'science'."
After briefly introducing the concept of science, her mind moved slightly, and she pointed to the stone wall on the side. Immediately, crystal clear light spots flew out and landed on the stone wall, on its surface.
A large swath of colorful graphics and text was formed.
In an instant, the originally rough and gray granite wall became smooth and shiny. The subtle traces etched by countless rays of light can present a three-dimensional shape when observed from a specific angle. This is Zhao Qing's understanding of optical imaging and
The results of further research on spiritual substantivity.
"This is a part of the basic theory of the branch of science I know called 'physics'. You can take a look and try to understand its meaning."
""Principles of Mechanics"?"
Seeing this magical scene, Lu Miaozi, who had heard about the vision outside Liyang City, was not too surprised. He just turned his head and looked at the content displayed on the wall, and saw Newton's three laws and the law of torque balance.
The laws of elasticity, etc., include the phenomena they involve and the process of deriving them.
"These scientific theories are applied to natural things. Taking into account the air resistance and other factors you define, there is indeed no counterexample. But when it comes to martial arts, it seems that they may not necessarily match completely."
Although he was still a little wary, Lu Miaozi completely forgot about it as soon as he was immersed in it. Soon half an hour passed. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked:
"For example, let's say I release a blast of Qi forward that is enough to push a thousand kilograms of weight. According to your theory, it should also give me a reaction force of one thousand kilograms. But in fact, this force does not exist, and because
What’s the reason?”
In such a short period of time, he basically understood the mechanical theory provided by Zhao Qing and found out the doubtful points. It can be seen that Lu Miaozi's intelligence level is indeed one of the top people in the world, and he can be called
An all-around genius.
This phenomenon of emitting true energy without any reaction force actually involves quite complex principles. This is why Zhao Qing has reached such a level of cultivation that he can release millions of kilograms of force, but it is still difficult for him to fly freely.
root cause.
Precisely because there are a lot of things that seem to go against science in spiritual practice, the wisdom of practitioners has been developed and is generally higher than that of ordinary people. However, it is difficult to sum up a systematic theory as smoothly as in previous lives, and it may even change in the development of civilization.
Have to go more slowly.
"Mr. Lu, you should be aware of phenomena such as the heat generated by firewood and the explosion of gunpowder, right? When Taoist priests refine elixirs and medicines, the properties of medicinal materials often change completely from before. Behind these events, there are naturally their principles.
.”
Looking at the other party with admiration, Zhao Qing nodded and explained: "Unlike physics that describes mechanics, this type of change does not involve the transmission of force, but additionally generates or absorbs energy. In my case,
It’s called ‘chemistry’…”
"According to my speculation, most of the true energy is a special gas that spreads in the form of longitudinal waves and can be controlled by mental power, releasing the energy contained in it like a chemical reaction, thereby generating additional power..."
"If we study the origin of Zhen Qi carefully, we have to mention the concept of 'refining Qi'. As we all know, in the realm of acquired heaven, the source of Zhen Qi's internal strength is generally the pulse energy transformed from the food eaten. And human digestion
The process of food is just a chemical reaction..."
"Although it is not yet clear how the detailed mechanism of energy storage and release of true energy is likely to involve microscopic changes that are more subtle than 'chemistry', it can be regarded as a major category in the 'chemistry' system for the time being, and its impact on
The principle by which other things exert their influence.”
From a microscopic perspective, in Zhao Qing's view, the formation and consumption of the internal force of Qi, which is composed of complex Yin and Yang Qi structures, can be regarded as the formation and breakage of various basic units of Qi, and the formation and breakage of their "Qi bonds".
, which is quite similar to chemical changes.
Among them, "Zhen Qi" is a complex chemical structure of Yuan Qi, and its physical properties are equivalent to that of a very light gas; "Internal force" is the "Chemical energy of Yuan Qi" contained in Zhen Qi. The two are similar but have different characteristics.
Nuanced definitions need to be distinguished in scientific descriptions.
Of course, this does not mean that "vital energy" is regarded as the molecules and atoms of the previous life. It is only temporarily used as a reference when describing the internal power of the true energy. The real martial arts system is undoubtedly much more complicated;
It is not only necessary to create the corresponding "chemistry", but also involves a lot of theories such as fluid mechanics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, etc., combined with Taoist ideas such as the transformation of yin and yang, and exploring the mysterious consciousness and spirit, in order to be able to fully describe it.
In fact, if we want to integrate martial arts into the scientific system, we need to establish a new discipline, which should be "Qi Chemistry" similar to the chemical level, "Micro-Qi Science" similar to the micro-physical level, and study the macro-Qi phenomenon.
The "macro vitality science" and so on.
…
"You mean that the effect of the internal force of the true energy is similar to throwing and detonating a thunderbolt fire bomb containing gunpowder. The power released is derived from the chemical reaction of the gunpowder and has no direct connection with the thrower?"
Lu Miaozi's eyes flashed, obviously aware of the truth contained in this, and discovered the significance of chemistry, a subject that is no less than physics, and was amazed by it.
"It can be compared to this, but it should be more complicated."
Knowing that Lu Miaozi was best at mechanical weapons, and more interested in physics, Zhao Qing did not explain in detail, but invited him: "This stone carving with some mechanical principles is written on it. I came to visit you specially and gave it to you."
Mr. Lu’s meeting gift.”
"If Master Lu is willing to delve deeper, explore physics, chemistry, biology and other fields, and discover the secrets contained in martial arts training, you may wish to join the research institute I opened and make progress together with other skilled craftsmen."
Having said this, she casually took out two letters and threw them in the direction of Lu Miaozi, then said: "These two letters are from Lei Jiuzhi, who you taught for half a year many years ago, and your niece.
What Shi Qingxuan wrote represents the sincere greetings from both of them."
"Thunder Nine Fingers? Qingxuan?" Lu Miaozi was shocked. The child who had been stubbornly studying behind him for twenty years appeared in his mind, as well as Xiao Qingxuan, who inherited Bi Xiuxin's character and Xiao Qingxuan, and reached out to take it.
After reading these two letters, I couldn't help but smile with joy.
Seeing that Zhao Qing's invitation was indeed quite sincere, Lu Miaozi thought secretly. Although he could not tell whether the other party was a so-called evil spirit, but since Xiang Yutian had been hiding nearby for some time but had not launched an attack, it should be
Does that rule her out as a suspect?
After pondering for a moment, he nodded and replied: "Miss Zhao's words gave me the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and a sudden enlightenment. Just to explore and pursue the mysteries of 'science', I seem to have no objection.
reasons."
"However, girl, you are the leader of the largest force in the south after all. I don't know what kind of treatment I will get if I join the 'scientific research' you mentioned. What exactly is the work to be done? Is it related to the development of ordnance for war?
"
After hearing a series of questions raised by Lu Miaozi, Zhao Qing smiled slightly and replied: "In my opinion, the real skilled craftsmen who have created technologies that benefit the country and the people, or summarized new scientific theories, have no status at all."
He is inferior to the famous and virtuous ministers who have always been respected by others."
"If you can join our cause, the treatment you will receive is closely related to the development of science and technology. The level will be measured according to the contribution you have made, and there will be special commendations and honors for scientific innovation."
"For example, according to my regulations, a major award will be awarded every other year, which is linked to the He's Jade I have on hand at some level. It is called the 'He's Jade Award'
The highest honor.”
"'He's Jade Prize'?" This time, the one who spoke was no longer Lu Miaozi who was nearby, but Xiang Xiang who moved from the core area of the inner Zhenku to the main hub room in an instant, slowly revealing his body and appearance.
Rainfield.
Apparently he had been listening for a while. He turned around and looked at the "Principles of Mechanics" carved on the stone wall for a while. Then he cast his eyes on Zhao Qing and asked calmly: "I am Xiang Yutian, the Holy Sect
The Thirteenth Generation Evil Emperor is an old friend of Lu Miaozi’s for many years.”
"Miss Zhao Qing, it turns out that after I placed the Heshi Bi in Luoyang, it ended up in your hands instead of being obtained by someone from the Buddhist sect. From the current point of view, you can create this system called 'science'
, the area under its rule is peaceful and healthy, and it is indeed worthy of this eternal treasure."
"But what is the meaning of the 'He's Bi Award' you established, and how is it linked to He's Bi?"
Through the magical induction of the devil, Xiang Yutian basically confirmed that what Zhao Qing said was the truth, and judged that the other party was probably the person who interfered with him when he visited the tomb, ruling out the suspicion that she was disguised as an evil spirit.
As he listened, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Qing's "indirect" release of evil spirits, but he was also deeply interested in the "scientific" theory she introduced. When he mentioned the rare treasure He's Bi, he suddenly appeared.
, decided to inquire in person, and also help Lu Miaozi explore the road.
"Considering that it is related to craftsmen and science, I originally wanted to set up a 'Mozi Award', but as we all know, Mozi is actually the ancestor of your 'Tianxie Dao' lineage in a sense, which is not good either.
Yue Zu takes over for you."
Looking at Xiang Yutian, whose breath was deep and unpredictable, Zhao Qingdan opened his mouth and explained: "The discovery and carving process of He's Bi, from the original jade to the treasure that represents the destiny and imperial power, let us understand step by step.
Discover the mystery of the natural principles of heaven and earth, and study from them the various forces that control all things, which can vaguely correspond to each other."
"Therefore, I plan to use the famous name of 'He's Bi' to set up multiple awards including science categories and martial arts categories. Among them, martial arts is divided into five categories: theory, internal strength, moves, body skills, and spirit.
In each aspect, science is divided into five categories: theory, machinery, agriculture, medicine, and materials."
"Making outstanding contributions in the corresponding field is the only condition for competing to win the 'Heshi Bi Award'. The winner will receive sufficient martial arts resources and worldly wealth, with a status equivalent to a high-ranking official position, and
Can get further support in his research area."
The reason why they are not classified according to disciplines is because in the current initial stage, Zhao Qing attaches more importance to the practical significance of scientific research. Except for two separate theoretical awards, the others are all practical fields.
If an individual develops a medical technique with high applicability and low threshold for practice, then he will be able to compete for two awards in internal strength and medicine at the same time, and may win them both.
"So, after Xiao Lu joins your 'research institute', he will have to wait for a while before he can get the treatment of a high-ranking official and a generous salary?" Xiang Yutian's eyes flashed with purple light, and he suddenly stretched out his arm and patted Lu
Taeko's shoulders, she kept encouraging:
"Are you confident that you will get this 'He's Jade Award'? With my full help, can you become a master-level figure in scientific research and strive to set up a 'Mozi Award' for my 'Heavenly Evil Way'?"
Xiaolu, you’ve mastered your skills!”
"Haha, you are a descendant of the Mo family, and I am a descendant of Lu Ban. Why should I help you get a 'Mozi Award'?" Lu Miaozi glared at Xiang Yutian with disdain and immediately retorted.
Xie Tiao, the first evil emperor who is revered as the ancestor of the Demon Sect, originally belonged to a cynical school of Mohism. He was good at the art of organization. He engaged in the tomb robbing industry based on the theory of "sparing burials" and treated other scholars in a hundred ways.
The family also dabbles in it.
Therefore, his direct lineage inherits the "Tianxie Dao" line and can also be regarded as a descendant of the Mohist family. He has a large number of classics passed down by the Mohist family. However, generations of evil emperors have basically been immersed in studying the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique". There are few
People who are involved in world affairs don’t have much research on the art of mechanism.
Very different from the evil emperors of previous generations, Xiang Yutian, who was born in a secret clan, has his mind filled with weird and bizarre ideas that are beyond imagination. He is full of curiosity and interest in exploring things that ordinary people don't pay attention to. He will jump from a place at any time.
The topic moved on to another topic that had nothing to do with the previous one.
In the process of cultivating the Taoist Heart Demon Technique, he made friends with interesting people such as Lu Miaozi. After hearing that Zhao Qing had unveiled a new field, he couldn't help but be filled with ideas for exploration and research.
