With the limited light provided by the street lamps in the distance, you can see that the steelmaking furnace (it should be a steelmaking furnace?) has changed.

Not a very noticeable change. Maybe an old worker may not be able to notice what is wrong for half a day. But Lu Wu witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.

The entire shape of the furnace has been slightly reshaped, and the entire length, width and height have been slightly changed. That is, to transform its size and shape into what it looks like on the drawing. According to the size comparison, it is slightly smaller than the original.

I don't know how it was achieved - according to the normal laws of physics, let alone a steelmaking furnace, even if it was plasticine, it would have to dig out part of it now. After all, unless there is a reaction such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion, it is ironclad that the mass is constant.

But obviously, magic doesn't pay attention to the laws of physics. Every time I understand these supernatural abilities in depth, it's amazing.

However, no matter what Lu Wu says now, he is already an old bird. After understanding that the Warlocks are able to influence forces such as fate, time, space, and other levels that humans on Earth have not yet come into contact with and understand, it is no big deal to simply violate a conservation of mass.

Now I can vaguely perceive the kind of statement that the master said before. It is the combination of supernatural abilities and technology that gives birth to the most powerful civilizations.

Because if you want to climb the tech tree normally - even if you have a full set of information, you have to climb it step by step. For example, if an ordinary earthling, if he comes to a backward world to develop, it is almost impossible to develop to the current level of the earth before he dies. It is necessary and can only be done step by step along the lines of steel, steam engines, internal combustion engines, electricity, and so on. Each level of technology is the foundation and starting point of the next level of technology, so it cannot be crossed at all. There is no such thing as a one-step climb to the top – and even if there is, it depends on the equipment brought from home. It's called a castle in the air, and once the equipment is exhausted, it will immediately return to its original form.

There is no way around it, although the industrial society has the ability to develop its own science and technology, but this ability. When a new machine is built, the equipment to make it must be required. That's what the so-called "industrial machine tool" means. It is necessary to have the "mother machine" as the basic equipment to create all kinds of machinery and equipment.

But for supernatural abilities, these processes are unnecessary. A powerful warlock only needs to carry the blueprints, and he can rely on his own strength to directly create a very high-end "industrial machine machine". Then, in a condescending way, a whole scientific and technological system was quickly built.

The so-called bottom-up is called ascending, and top-down is said to be collapsing, nothing more than that.

Not only that, but even if technology hasn't actually advanced to that extent, supernatural abilities can still "go one step ahead" and fill those gaps, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of high-tech that has not yet appeared. This is known on Earth as the barrel theory: how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest plank. The development of science and technology also follows this theory. However, supernatural abilities are able to make things the other way around: how much water a barrel can hold depends on the longest plank.

This point, the master once explained to Lu Wu in detail. For example, the Floating Fortress, although it is indeed a weapon of war, should not have existed in the first place. Because the energy system can't afford it.

The strength of the Floating Fortress lies in the fact that it is a combination of speed, armor, and firepower, all of which are excellent. However, in fact, all war machines seek all three at the same time. For example, the tanks on Earth – who doesn't want their tanks to be fast, heavily armoured, and powerful, but in fact these three are contradictory, and strengthening one is destined to weaken the other. The reason is simple: there is a limit to what can be accommodated per unit volume.

At the heart of the Floating Fortress's performance is that it has a heart that provides near-infinite power, and it relies on an antimatter engine to operate. And antimatter...... According to the masters, the technology of the Wago world has not yet improved to the point where it can freely create and process antimatter. If there was that level of technology, the master had maliciously said that the warlocks might have emptied everything in the entire world with antimatter long before the disintegration of time and space led to the destruction of the world. At that time, there is no need to worry about whether the world itself will perish, and the human race will definitely die long ago anyway.

After all, even the most powerful warlock can't resist the onslaught of antimatter-level energy.

In short, the reason why something as irrational as antimatter exists is entirely because the warlocks possess supernatural powers called "magic".

Lu Wu didn't know how the warlocks made antimatter, and he didn't know how they controlled this thing, so that it obediently used as engine power instead of immediately causing a terrifying explosion. But the master made it clear: it was all magic.

However, the master also said that the earth does not need to be presumptuous. Having superpowers is a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing. While indulging in the convenience brought by supernatural abilities, intelligent beings can easily lose the motivation to develop scientific and technological powers, and instead strive to develop further applications of supernatural abilities. In general, however, the use of supernatural abilities has a very clear marginal effect, and technology has infinite prospects. One is that the more it develops, the slower it is, and the other is that it develops faster and faster.

Of course, all of this is a master's statement, and Lu Wu doesn't know if this is his true opinion, or just a comfort.

But in any case, even if the earth is facing the threat of a "nuclear winter", at least that is only in the future, and it has not happened in reality. And for the foreseeable future, humanity will be able to maintain its sanity. But in another world, the destruction of the world is no longer a future, not yet predicted, but a trend.

Although the current trend is still very weak. Or rather, there is room for salvation. But the master seems to have said that at this pace, it will only take a few hundred years for it to escalate from a small trend to an irresistible tide like a stream merging into a river. Thinking of this danger, Lu Wu felt that it was really good that there was no magic on the earth.

Amber circled around the tower-like steelmaking furnace like a nimble cat. In fact, she's not so much climbing as she's levitating. And her figure has slowly become obvious from the initial almost invisible. A blue-white glow slowly appeared around her body—a testament to Amber's fatigue and the gradual loss of precise control of her magic. The magic can be infinite, but the energy is limited. Too complicated operations are exhausting.

There was a slight rustle of grass and trees not far away. Then, a very ugly dog came out of it.

"Dumb, is there anyone out there?"

Dumb swept Lu Wu contemptuously, and then looked at the amber in the height. At this time, the blue-white light was clearly visible, reflecting Amber's half-suspended and half-climbing body like some kind of mysterious elf. However, as mentioned earlier, this is not a good sign, which means that Amber is no longer able to accurately control all the details of the magic due to mental fatigue.

"You mean, you can't go on?"

The dog nodded in a condescending manner.

If there is an unrelated third party here, I guess it will be very surprising. Because they'll see a guy talking to a dog.

This dog, or rather, this creature that looks like a dog, is Dumb.

Now Lu Wu already knows that it is called "Dumb" entirely because of transliteration, not paraphrasing. As for what the paraphrase is, at least Lu Wu doesn't know, and Hongyi doesn't know either. The only answer that Red could give was that it was its real name, but he couldn't answer what it meant. Although this dog-like creature is highly intelligent (perhaps only slightly inferior to humans, similar to the Destroyer), its vocal cord structure is not as perfect as that of humans, so it can produce limited sounds. This talent makes it impossible for them to develop complex social structures. Of course, they don't need to, as this creature has quite good supernatural abilities.

It's completely different from the magic of a warlock, but it's just as mysterious and powerful as the supernatural abilities. It is not known that there are other uses for this power, but what is known to be used is surprising - it can easily heal the sick and wounded.

According to what I knew from Amber, this was something that even the magic of the warlocks could not do. Warlocks can use Fourth Law Mana to temporarily suppress injuries, but this requires additional mana and energy to be consumed. And this is only suppression, not healing, if it must be said, the effect is equivalent to a hemostatic bandage with excellent performance. And dumb is a real sense of healing. It's a force of unknown principle.

I couldn't communicate with Dumb before, but after the master gave me a special translator, it was much better. At least Lu Wu knew why Dumb was hostile to him.

Because Lu Wu deceived it.

Dumb came to Earth to enter the Aether Sea from this side of Earth. Unfortunately, however, the world of Earth has neither the science and technology to enter the Aetheric Sea (let alone technology, not even theories, or even the first conjectures, because this world is too vast), nor does it have the natural channels through which living beings can leave directly. It is well-organized and structurally complete. For Dumb who wanted to enter the Aether Sea, it was almost immediately aware that this place was tantamount to a solid cage, completely different from what it had been promised! Compared to this hellish place, Wago was much better - at least it was much more likely, at least it was worth looking forward to.

Speaking of which, this is really a big wrong, Lu Wu didn't know that there was such a thing from head to toe. But how to say it, Dumb said that he had already asked Lu Wu, and Lu Wu's answer was acquiescence.

Damn, we don't understand the language (does Dumb have a language?), you ask me, ask a fart! If you can, Lu Wu really wants to roar so loudly. This is simply yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants -- it's not but is!

But, in fact, it just can't be helped. Because Dumb has already admitted his death - in short, it is Lu Wu who owes him. Since Lu Wu brought him into this world, it is his responsibility to bring Dumb to the Sea of Ether. Otherwise......

Dumb will stay here and despise him all the time, despise him to death.

Well, it's very rare that this intelligent creature with powerful supernatural abilities is actually a pacifist. Of course, Lu Wu was skeptical about this - that sharp dog tooth didn't look like an ornament no matter how it looked. I don't know if it will defend itself when it is threatened (it is not clear what means it will use to protect itself), but when its own life is not directly threatened, it will not use force, such as directly biting Lu Wu to death or something. Rather, they will always express their contempt.

Lu Wu had to say that the world is big, and there are all kinds of wonders. It's no wonder that it was easily captured from the Aether Sea by the Warlocks, and even if it was released by the Red Coat, it could only exist as a pet and a doctor. Luckily, the warlocks didn't think it was harmless and didn't plan to do anything aggressive, otherwise God knows who would have been more unlucky.

In another situation, Lu Wu could completely ignore the harmless contempt. Despise something and don't lose half a piece of meat. But as mentioned earlier, now Lu Wu is suffering from the backlash effect of the second law's magic power. Not to mention hostile contempt, even well-intentioned help can turn into fatal damage. This makes the situation completely different.

Through the translator, after some explanation and exchange, Dumb resolutely stated that the principle remained unchanged: it would not compromise unless Lu Wu sent it back to the Aether Sea. However, this matter was promised by Lu Wu (Lu Wu regrets it now, he should have let Amber hold Dumb in the first place), and it has nothing to do with Amber, so it thinks that it can coexist amicably with Amber. And Amber is a powerful warlock who can cross the edge of the world, and Dumb expresses his willingness to maintain a high level of respect.

In short, as an intelligent creature, its logic is obviously completely different from that of humans. It even refused to return to Wago on the grounds that the place was also dangerous for it - the Earth was much better.
