"This is wishful thinking!" Neville couldn't help but refute: "You will never succeed! Even if you succeed, the new world you create may not be beautiful, and it may only lead to its destruction!"
"Yeah?"
Tiandis tilted his head and glanced at her: "How to be sure?"
"Because the world has its own laws, and magic is the basic law given to the mirror star by the goddess. For example, if you want to remove the foundation of a house, wouldn't it make the originally solid house collapse and destroy like a castle in the air?
?”
The words of the countess are exactly what Ringer and others are thinking. Although Tiandis believes that magic is the original sin that causes the separation of extraordinary life and mortal life, in fact it is also the cornerstone of the existence of this world.
When the scale of everything has become accustomed to following the rules of magic, blindly removing the foundation will indeed only lead to the collapse of the house.
unless……
Lin Ge suddenly thought of a possibility and his eyes flickered.
"Your worries are not unreasonable, Silver-Eyed Countess, but do you think that the things you can think of can't be thought of by the Witches' Association, which embodies the wisdom of all mankind?" Tiandis grinned, and his smile was somewhat intriguing: "Before that,
, let’s think about a question first: How does fire burn?”
This question made everyone startled. They didn't understand why the topic jumped so much. One moment they were discussing the feasibility of cutting off magic power, and the next moment they jumped to this physical phenomenon that can be seen everywhere. Could there be any connection between these two things?
Huh? And although combustion is a common physical phenomenon, if they were asked to summarize its principles, it would be hard to explain for a while. Even Olvera, the most knowledgeable person among them, would not be idle on weekdays.
You have to be bored and search for this kind of common knowledge, right?
In the end, Ringer, who was the only one who went to college, summarized it in a short sentence: "Combustion is a physical phenomenon of rapid heating and luminescence that occurs after the reaction of combustibles and oxygen, and is usually accompanied by the appearance of a flame.
.”
On a more fundamental level, it needs to be related to more advanced physical terms such as molecules and heat, which is not something that Ringo, a college student majoring in history, can explain clearly.
"Standard answer." Tiandis applauded softly: "It is almost the same as the definition I saw in the textbook. It seems that Mr. Ringer has not forgotten the knowledge he learned when he was young. This spirit is worthy of praise."
"So?" Ringer frowned slightly. He was not happy with her praise. He wanted to know the meaning of this question. Somehow, the young man always had a hunch that its meaning would not be very beautiful: "This
What does it have to do with the topic just now?"
"The relationship is that you don't think this is abnormal. Burning must be a physical phenomenon, just like the reason why we can stand on the ground instead of falling into the universe is due to gravity. The refraction and reflection of light, the attraction of magnetism and
Repulsion, diffusion and melting of liquids, propagation and reverberation of sound, these are all physical phenomena mentioned in the compulsory education process, but the problem is..."
Tiandis paused for a moment, as if to leave enough time for everyone to think, and then slowly said after a while: "I said at the beginning that the basic law of the mirror star world is magic, and the basic law of the earth world is magic.
It’s physics. If that’s the case, why can the physical laws of the earth world replace the magic laws of the mirror star world?”
The young man's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his premonition had finally come true.
"Fire is born because of combustion, people stand on the ground because of gravity, and steam engines operate by converting the energy when boiling water into mechanical kinetic energy... None of you have ever questioned these phenomena, because they are all commonplace.
It’s not surprising. However, you know very well that this is a world based on magic, and all the phenomena I mentioned above need to rely on the laws of physics to exist.”
"Actually the answer is very simple."
Tiandis chuckled lightly, and this laughter had different meanings to everyone: "A long time ago, our world was indeed dominated by magic: the burning of fire requires magic, and the Lortaxians believe that
The element is fire; the earth is a chaotic ocean condensed by magic. Simple shamanism calls it Gaia, and points out that it is because of the attraction of Gaia's magic that living beings can stand on the earth and avoid falling into the stars; water burns
The energy that boils when turned on is also a kind of magic power. Among the Morya people, Sangil, the great witch who predicted the disaster of destruction, said that it is the "water spirit". They are invisible and have no quality, but they dominate all the water and sources in the world...
…But then this phenomenon was changed, and the rules of physics replaced the rules of magic. Why?”
This time she did not leave time for everyone to think, and directly told the truth: "Because the connection between the earth world and the mirror star world is not that far away. They are not only connected through the Sky Realm Bridge, but they should actually be compared to mirrors."
There are two similar states inside and outside, and the barrier between the two rules of physics and magic is the mirror, preventing them from further contact. So, what will happen when one of the barriers, such as magic, is weakened? "
She looked at the crowd and raised her slender eyebrows slightly: "It's very simple, it will cause the physical laws of another world to invade the mirror star. In this case, the physical rules and scientific creations from the earth will apply to varying degrees.
In this world, from the most basic phenomena such as flame combustion and gravity to the more advanced mutual conversion of energy and mechanical kinetic energy, it is nothing more than this."
This huge amount of information shocked everyone so much that they couldn't say a word. Only Ringer was not so surprised because he had already had a premonition. He whispered to himself: "That's why it's called Mirror Star?"
The star in the mirror and another distant and unknown planet are both inside and outside each other. They should have been isolated forever, but they were connected by a mysterious bridge. This in turn prompted the Witch Association to conduct in-depth research on the different rules of the two worlds and
Analysis.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Galileo, the great man who named the Mirror Star during the Renaissance, was the philosopher of the Witches' Society.
"Yes." Tiandis chuckled and said: "So back to the original question: how can the mirror star world continue to exist if the magic power is cut off? Another world has already described a good sample for us. If a
A house will collapse if its foundation is removed, so just repair the new foundation before it collapses. The physical rules from the earth world are a good choice. Compared with the magic rules, they are more advanced, but this kind of advanced
The reason lies not in its complexity and rigor, but in the fact that intelligent life may be able to use physical rules to create many horrific war weapons, but it can never make itself a physical rule itself. Therefore, the essence of life has not changed."
“Science and technology are tools created by ordinary and fragile human beings in the process of exploring the truth of the earth. They are sometimes backward and sometimes advanced; sometimes they are confused and sometimes firm; sometimes they are overturned and sometimes they are verified... But no matter what,
, is always on the way forward. However, the mirror star world dominated by magic rules will only stand still. How can those false gods and evil gods who are eager to gather great power into themselves consider the well-being of mortals? For ten thousand years, only we witches have
The association is just working hard.”
Tiandis admires the physical rules and technological civilization of the earth world, and denounces the magical rules and extraordinary civilization of the mirror star world. This tendency is clearly reflected in her words. Alice came back to her senses, not knowing that she was aroused
Because of her rebellious mentality, as a human on Earth, she understands the world she lives in better, so she did not hesitate to retort: "Who said technology must be better than magic? Several world wars on Earth have killed millions of people.
, a nuclear strategic weapon can wipe out a city, the information network can silently eliminate the evidence of a person's existence, and the competition for energy in the interstellar era has reached the point of cosmic war... What happened on the Mirror Star
Wouldn't tragedy happen on earth?"
Although she didn’t know what the world war, nuclear strategic weapons and information network she was talking about were, Saint Xalia and others could still understand the matter of millions of people dying and the struggle for energy, and because they were
It is more believable because of the people on earth giving their own opinions, at least than Tiandis' theory.
Ringer sighed silently, because he knew that Alice still missed the point and her rebuttal was in the wrong direction.
"I told you already, Miss Alice."
Tiandis looked up at her. Even though both of them were standing at the same height, her eyes gave Alice a condescending and oppressive feeling: "The equality I pursue is not in the sense of class, wealth or power.
, but the essential equality between lives; the beauty I long for is not a world without struggle and death. Everyone knows that is unrealistic. I want to see lives doing their best in their ordinary and fragile lives.
The posture, the kind of beauty that cannot be denied by anyone."
"Technology will of course create disputes. I have fully understood the history of the earth before making this decision. The world wars, nuclear strategic weapons, information networks and energy competition you mentioned all exist, but they will deprive life of its own value.
? If you still can’t understand, let me put it in a simpler way: Those careerists who have launched wars for their own selfish interests in the history of the earth will eventually turn into dust and fly away, proving that their lives and deaths are inseparable.
There is no difference between the soldiers in the war and even an ant under the artillery fire; however, Abraham, the god of disaster who indirectly caused the dark age and the disaster of divine transformation, is still huddled in his lair in the Eastern Continent, every moment, even if I am talking to you.
In this minute and second, there are still countless believers praying to Him, eager to exchange blood and souls for power. If you were a mortal, which situation would you be more willing to accept? "
Alice choked and was speechless.
Lin Ge had to step forward and continue to ask on her behalf: "In order to let the rules of physics replace the rules of magic, your witch association weakened the magic barrier of the mirror star world while introducing various technological creations and scientific ideas from the earth world?"
"That's right."
Tiandi said frankly: "But weakening the magic barrier is not an overnight process, because the formation of the magic environment is related to many factors: aliens, monsters, magic plants and even extraordinary people, etc. It is impossible to try to do it overnight. We must find the best solution
A suitable breakthrough point will do. And in the end, the one we chose as the breakthrough point is——"
"Extraordinary ones." Ringer said the answer on her behalf: "In other words, it is the potion system represented by extraordinary ones."
Tiandis asked with interest: "Are you sure your answer is correct, Mr. Ringer?"
"If it were me, I would make the same choice."
"So, you admit that we are the same person?"
"..."
Regarding this question, Ringer could only remain silent because no matter what answer he gave, it was inappropriate.
Tiandis didn't care and laughed it off: "As Mr. Ringer said, we first focused on the potion system because it is the most twisted existence among all by-products derived from magic.
The erosion phenomenon that is destined to cause extraordinary people to lose their minds, or the equilibrium theory discovered by Abraham, the god of disaster, that swallows the bones of extraordinary people of the opposite sequence to maintain sanity, are both too barbaric and will only lead the world to the abyss of destruction."
Others also reacted one by one, and Saint Xalia murmured: "So the later magic system and magic guidance system came into being?"
Merlin, the founder of the magic system, is the philosopher of the Witches' Association. The Steam Order, the founder of the magic system, was the last disguised identity of the Witches' Association. In the past, everyone was puzzled as to why the association developed two magic application systems, and always
After developing the new system, they turned around and killed all the beneficiaries of the old system. Now it seems that the answer is close at hand.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have used the comparative method to analyze the differences between the two systems."
Linge suddenly said: "Then I discovered a very interesting phenomenon: these two systems seem to be very different, but in fact they have a common characteristic, which is that the magic power is gradually stripped away as a strength attribute. The original transcendent,
Magic power acts on both the body and the soul at the same time, so they have two mutually reinforcing powers, the soul and the body. The magic users of that era were not only able to control various extraordinary abilities, but also could
They rely on their bodies to fight, but perhaps it is because the magic power has penetrated their bodies and souls so deeply that they are unable to contain the erosion and eventually lose their minds."
"Later, the magic system created by the Archmage Merlin changed this situation. Magic power only resides in the etheric sea of the soul and no longer forms a dependency relationship with the body. This makes magicians more convenient and efficient in using and matching magic.
But it also makes their bodies generally weak, no different from ordinary people, and can be easily killed by a dagger or a bullet. In today's era, with the magic system created by the Steam Order, the magic power comes from the soul.
Stripped out, it becomes a pure energy source that needs to be matched with various magic devices to be used as extraordinary power. And the user of the magic device, the magician, no longer needs to meditate, drink magic potions or accumulate energy.
They only need to awaken their spirituality and master the operating skills of magic devices."
"This change in model is similar to the change in modern warfare: from knights wearing plate armor and fully armed with perfect martial arts skills, to gunners relying on matchlocks and steam muskets for long-distance suppression, to gunners who rely on matchlocks and steam muskets for long-distance suppression, and then to
In the end, even the muskets were abandoned, and modern soldiers relied on various war vehicles and fortresses to fight. Their distinctive characteristics are that the rigid requirements for magic power are getting lower and lower, while higher requirements are placed on the individual qualities of magic power users.
Require."
"So, I have a guess-"
Linge paused for a moment before continuing, but everyone listened attentively. Except for Tiandis, no one noticed this brief pause: "The human magic system is directly related to the magic environment of the mirror star world. When
The more magic users there are among humans, the higher the frequency of magic use, and the more direct and rough the way of using magic, the more active the magic environment in the mirror star world will be, right?"
"The development of the magic system and the magic guidance system by the Witch Association, and the slaughter of extraordinary people and magicians, are essentially reducing human beings' dependence on magic power, reducing the number of magic users and the frequency and method of use, thereby reducing
As a result, the magic environment of the mirror star world tends to be silent. Once the magic becomes silent, the original barrier will be weakened, so——"
He quietly stared at the black-haired girl not far away and whispered: "The physical rules of the earth world can gradually replace the magic rules of the mirror star world through this loophole."
