Chapter 172: The Truth About Aether (I)

The boiling aether in the furnace is not only used as a catalyst for all members of the European Research Institute to carry out alchemy experiments, but also the medium and power to maintain the normal operation of all the alchemy arrays of the entire European Research Institute.

This is the so-called self-destruct device, which will cause everything to be buried in the sea as soon as it is activated, but fortunately, the castle designers are still sober and know that they can't drag their own people to the burial, so they specially left an emergency design to reduce casualties: the remaining part of the aether is immediately pumped into an emergency pipe after more than 95% of the leak, and the castle is fully balanced in the air, providing 10 to 15 minutes of reaction time for evacuees......

In short, we are pressed for time...... Therefore, we did not have enough time to persuade Gordon, who had already made up his mind to die here, to rekindle the hope of life, nor did we have time to come up with a way to rescue the old man and forcibly take him away, or even to ask the old man why he gave up the deal with Chen Xiaoshan and was bent on dying......

In the end, all I could do was to follow the old man's last request, reluctantly pick up Statham, who had been unconscious, and promise the old man that his eyes were getting darker and darker, and his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and he would try his best to take out his gray grandson who didn't know how many generations to avoid the old Ge family's bloodline from being broken, and then he picked up McCourt, carried Jiang Shasha, held Li Heigou, and led Xie Erdon, step by step, with heavy steps, and hurriedly walked towards the exit......

What? You ask me why I don't have to run? Isn't this nonsense? Lao Tzu now carries more than a camel, and you still want me to use it?

When I ran over, it didn't feel too far, but now I dragged my family back and found that the road was really long, the walls and floors made a creaking sound of collapse and shattering from time to time, and cracks suddenly appeared and spread everywhere from time to time, plus I was now walking heavily and in a very poor mood, and the atmosphere on the scene was naturally dull and depressing.

"Do you feel that we are cold-blooded?" said McCourt, who was lying on my back, and saw that I seemed to have an opinion of him, so she asked.

"Yes," I replied with a cold face, originally I had a good impression of the old man, but since I heard that the entire European Institute knew what happened to Gordon, but everyone had nothing to do with themselves, I had a good opinion of him, the top person in charge of the institute, and just now, Gordon insisted on staying where he was and seeking his own relief, and I tried to persuade him to no avail but McCourt didn't say a word the whole time, it was just a bureaucrat face who tightened his head and was willing to be an ostrich in case of trouble, and now I have a big opinion about this old thing who has no responsibility.

"It's normal for you to think like that" McCourt sighed, "after all, you're not from the European Institute......"

"You didn't say that if you engage in alchemy, you will train yourself to be hard-hearted. I replied coldly.

"That's not it," McCourt said as if trying to explain something to me, but abruptly changed the subject, "You've been at the Asia Institute for a few years, haven't ......you?" What exactly is science?"

"Why are you pouring me poisonous chicken soup?"

Ignoring my sarcasm (or perhaps not understanding), McCourt said to himself: "If the concept of 'science' is illustrated in the simplest dotted line diagram, it should be an irregular upward curve, with a high-speed upward burst phase, a stable transition reserve period, and even a dark age of decline and regression......

"You...... Is this science, or stocks?"

“…… Get the meaning!" McCourt said in a helpless tone: "In short, normal scientific development should start from scratch, keep moving forward, and theoretically, there is no end, no limit!"

In the last eight words, the old man bit his voice very strongly: "This is the most basic and important characteristic of science, and it is also the most primitive and basic motivation for every scientist who explores the road of science. ”

As he spoke, McCourt's tone turned gloomy: "But it's ...... The European Institute is on the wrong path, ether, and alchemy, it's all very wrong!"

"What do you mean?" I glanced back at McCourt in surprise. Listening to the old man's meaning, he actually completely rejected the entire European research institute, which is unimaginable for those Frankenstein, who value scientific research more than life.

McCourt smiled bitterly: "Just look at your expression, you must think I'm crazy, and even say that the experimental research that we have spent countless generations of effort to achieve is going the wrong way, but have you thought about it, why when I mention alchemy is a wrong way, the first thing you think of is the whole European Institute?"

"Uh, that's because ......?"

"That's because the European Institute only has alchemy! Everyone is revolving around alchemy!" The old man had a sad expression: "Take your Asian Institute as an example, each of you has different research directions and are trying to take different paths, but the European Institute ...... Everyone is going in one direction, and that is how to use the ether to play different tricks with alchemy!"

"Well, don't be angry if I'll tell you the truth," I said truthfully, "I don't feel any difference, our old thing is to put it bluntly, all we have been striving for all our lives is to play tricks with science, and we don't have much consciousness to contribute to science and mankind......"

"Then how can it be the same!?" When it comes to conceptual issues, McCourt immediately shows the unique tendon temperament of scientists: "Scientific exploration is based on different theoretical concepts, rationally deducing the process of transformation, and finally either achieving the expected experimental conclusions, or obtaining unknown results outside the deduction, no matter whether this step forward is right or wrong, after all, it is one step closer to the truth, but what about us?" The theoretical concept is always that ether is magical, and the process is nothing more than to see what wonderful changes will occur when ether comes into contact with different alchemy raw materials under different alchemy conditions, and if it succeeds, it will once again establish the irreplaceable and important position of ether in alchemy, and if it fails, it is a problem with your alchemy level, and you should quickly modify the alchemy array, or adjust the balance ratio of alchemy elements......"

The last paragraph, in my opinion, is simply sour and unreasonable, but with my many years of dealing with scientists (strange), my understanding of their consistent urine nature, the content is relatively easy to understand, and it can be summed up in one sentence: As a wonderful and coquettish scientific pioneer who looks forward to his own scientific research on the road, the old man, I think my path is too smooth and too unchallenging!

Or, it can also be summed up in two words: cheap...... (To be continued.) )
