Chapter 399: Different Paths to the Same End

The imperial capital, on the Purple Mountain.

Li Shouyi walked into the hall where the golden body of Emperor Guan Sheng was enshrined.

He solemnly picked up a pillar of incense, bowed respectfully, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

Emperor Guan Sheng is the protector of the Federal Empire.

The latest title is: Great Xia Federal Empire Protector of the Dharma, Protecting the People, Loyalty, Righteousness, Divine Martial Arts, Xuande, Demon Suppression, Evil Pass, Saint Emperor.

It is the seal of the Son of Heaven, the central line, and the title officially approved by the Council of Doctors.

It is also one of the hole cards in the hands of the Federal Empire.

Enjoy the national sacrifice and be crowned by the emperor of the Son of Heaven.

Once the launching ceremony is fully awakened, it will have at least the power of the main god.

Now, the emperor has awakened a little bit of consciousness and can communicate officially.

Therefore, Li Shouyi personally came here to try to communicate with him in order to obtain more information.

"Emperor!" He held his official seal and the golden book after the seal of the Son of Heaven, and bowed to him: "I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to pay homage to the emperor!" ”

"Please also ask the emperor to manifest his spirit!"

The huge golden body gradually appeared a little spiritual charm.

A coercive divine power appeared from the idol.

A majestic divine consciousness sounded in Li Shouyi's ears: Governor, please ask.

Li Shouyi's expression was slightly dark.

"He recognizes the rank of the Empire?"

This is an important message!

In the past, the gods that the black-clothed guards had communicated with would always be arrogant when they met for the first time.

They even regard mortals as slaves, pigs and dogs.

At every turn, it is a request for a burnt offering!

For such a guy, the black-clothed guard is naturally very intimate to prepare a full set of services for him.

Smashing the temple and removing the rituals, a set of processes went down.

These gods, who only have a little awakening consciousness, are basically obediently crying and shouting for mercy.

But like Emperor Guan Sheng, who was very cooperative at the beginning of the communication, and was even willing to recognize the gods of the imperial jurisdiction, Li Shouyi encountered it for the first time.

Thinking about these in his heart, Li Shouyi asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, what do you think of the world today?" ”

This is the first question that the Blackguards will ask most of the gods.

I saw the golden light looming on the statue, and the emperor's voice said in my ears: "I am the protector of the law!" ”

"Decree, my life!"

Li Shouyi raised his head and looked at this god incredulously.

Dharma Protector?

The highest legal body of the Federal Empire was the Dali Temple.

The supreme judge of Dali Temple is the Great Protector.

The Great Protector has the right to interpret the Constitution.

He is accountable only to the Son of Heaven, and to the people.

It was elected by the Council of Ministers and ordered by the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the Great Protector of the Dharma, who prides himself on being the gatekeeper and guardian of the Constitution, is generally regarded by public opinion as a living sage and a living moral model.

As if sensing Li Shouyi's doubts, the emperor said: "I am a divine ...... born from the illusion and born in the prayers of all people."

"It is canonized by the Son of Heaven and the god of social offerings......"

"Today...... The Son of Heaven is commanded by the people of the world...... I am commanded by the Son of Heaven ......"

"Therefore, I am the protector of the people of the world!"

Li Shouyi raised his head, his face full of incredulity.

Because of the words of Emperor Guan Sheng, a fact was revealed: this emperor did not wake up from his slumber.

He is a God who was created out of nothingness by all nations with the resurrection of the aura.

What's more, this emperor revealed a fact that made his heart beat faster: He said, 'The Son of Heaven is commanded by the people of the world, and I am commanded by the Son of Heaven'.

In other words, this emperor will also change with the development of society, especially the development of ideology and culture.

So, He is not a god in the usual sense.

………………………………

When he walked down the Purple Mountain, Li Shouyi's heart kept echoing the moment of communication with Emperor Guan Sheng.

There is not much time for the emperor to wake up now.

According to Him, you can only wake up three times a month.

No more than five minutes at a time.

If it is exceeded, it will damage the original source and will require a long period of cultivation.

However, as the revival of the aura intensifies, the time for the emperor to awaken in the future will be longer and longer.

One day, Emperor Guan Sheng will fully recover.

"It seems that ......" Li Shouyi looked back at the Guansheng Emperor Temple on the Purple Mountain, and he thought in his heart: "Dali Temple may be about to appear as the tenth great protector!" ”

This is the biggest result of his communication with Emperor Guan Sheng today!

This emperor, conceived from the prayers of all the people and the faith of all sentient beings, is not only the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, but also the imperial canonized 'Protector of the Dharma, Protecting the People, Loyalty, Righteousness, Divine Martial Arts, Majesty, Xuande, Demon Suppression, Evil Guan Holy Emperor'.

It is linked to the national fortunes of the empire and relies on the constitution and institutions.

To put it simply, He is the self-born god of the Heavenly Dao to maintain order.

Because the Federal Empire revised the definition of 'Heaven'.

Therefore, this god is practicing the path of 'the unity of heaven and man'.

The thoughts of all the people are the way of heaven.

The law of all people is the rule of heaven!

And He is the god who upholds the way of heaven and the rules of heaven.

The stronger the Heavenly Dao, the stronger He is, and the stronger his ability to execute the Heavenly Rules!

Therefore, at the end of the communication, Emperor Guan Sheng even made a request.

He wanted a supercomputer.

And it's the networked kind!

What does this mean?

Li Shouyi understands it.

Guan Shengdi can also keep up with the times!

This made Li Shouyi have an extremely absurd idea in his heart.

"In the end......" he thought, "Metaphysics has developed to the end, and there may be scenarios in science fiction......"

Super AI, impartial handling and distribution of everything.

This is something that a lot of science fiction has fantasized about.

But who knows that it is not a super AI that may appear, but a god born based on the wishes of all beings?

"The end of science is metaphysics!" Li Shouyi thought about the famous words left by the late Newton scholar.

"And what about the end of metaphysics?"

"Science?"

Or ...... The essence of the two is that they have the same ......"

"Metaphysics, Science...... may all point to the same path......"

He remembered the coins that had been given him by the owner of the bookstore.

It seems to be half a tael, but in fact it contains endless energy, comparable to a small nuclear bomb.

After dismantling, it was discovered that the formation inside was similar to a chip.

Countless miniature formations, inlaid one by one, integrate hundreds of millions!

But people have no way of knowing how these formations were burned into the inside of that small coin.

It is even more unclear how it works.

It can only be simply imitated in its rules and arrangement.

"So ......" Li Shouyi sighed: "The reason why we can't know is because our level is too low!" ”

"It's like a leopard in a tube, like a blind man touching an elephant......"

As soon as I think about it......

"Go to the Imperial Capital Optoelectronics Research Institute!" Li Shouyi suddenly said to his driver.

"Yes!" The driver nodded, and the car drove into the highway and headed towards the Institute of Optoelectronics.

………………………………

Li Shouyi's car drove into the scientific and industrial zone in the northern suburbs.

It is one of the largest research bases in the empire for cutting-edge technology.

It is also a paradise for university scholars.

All institutions here enjoy subsidies and tax exemptions from the central state government.

Academics can spend their taxpayers' money as much as they want to satisfy their fanatical pursuit of science and technology!

And many of the results of their research here have changed the world.

Integrated circuits, mobile phones, the Internet, satellites, and even space-based weapons were all born from research institutes in this industrial zone.

So, it's one of the most secure places in the world.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

Idlers, connections close to be investigated.

There are also several retired generals who are cultivating here.

Li Shouyi's car was parked in the parking lot in front of the Institute of Optoelectronics.

Zeng Jing, who had already received the news and notice, took people and came out to greet him in person.

"Elder Li!" Zeng Jing was very respectful in front of Li Shouyi: "Welcome! Welcome! ”

Li Shouyi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zeng Jing: "Didn't disturb the research of the scholar, right?" ”

"Nope!" Zeng Jing smiled and said: "We have been looking forward to you coming, we have been looking forward to it for a long time!" ”

It's the truth!

In addition to being the black-clothed governor of the guard, Li Shouyi also holds several important positions.

One of them is the executive director of the Cabinet Science and Technology Committee, which is responsible for appropriations.

At the same time, he is also a member of the "Science and Technology Ethics Review Council" under the Council of Secretaries of Justice, and has the right of veto.

He has the final say on all matters involving transcendent matters.

The Institute of Optoelectronics, the largest project at present, is also under his direct leadership and management.

"I'll take a look, our new photovoltaic power station!" Li Shouyi asked, "Now, have you assembled the first generator set?" ”

"Returning to the Governor...... It's already been assembled! Zeng Jing said with a smile: "Moreover, they have already started to generate electricity!" ”

"As long as the cabinet allocates enough ......"

"The first batch of commercial power stations will definitely start construction next year!"

Li Shouyi nodded and said, "As long as the technology is feasible, there is no problem with the appropriation!" ”

In the Federal Empire, the annual investment in scientific research is generally around 4% of the budget.

Among them, more than 30% are smashed on psionic-related research.

Even so, these studies have only been papers, but no results.

But the empire persevered and persevered.

This is because it is a matter of long-term peace and stability and national security.

Uncontrolled forces, once they break out, will be chaos in the world!

Why are so many people in the Black Guard hostile to the transcendental?

I feel that those people are all potential 'Wei Boya soldiers', because these people have power, it is difficult to control.

A school-level rebellion can cause devastating deaths and injuries to civilians.

Zeng Jing listened, and his face bloomed with a smile.

He felt that he was very close to being knighted by the Son of Heaven.

"Li Lao ......" Zeng Jing smiled and invited Li Shouyi in: "Since you are here, please take a look at our experimental power station!" ”

So, he led Li Shouyi to the top floor of the institute by elevator.

Here, slices of silicon cut solar flakes reflect dazzling light in the sunlight.

Su Changming, a college scholar wearing a hard hat, was inspecting the power station with several students.

When they saw Li Shouyi and Zeng Jing, they all raised their heads.

"Elder Li!" They gave it up.

Li Shouyi returned the salute, and then observed the power station.

Photovoltaic power generation, although Li Shouyi doesn't understand much, but he also understands what is going on.

The basic principle comes from the photoelectric effect of the semiconductor itself, which forms an electric current.

The photovoltaic power station in front of us also uses a similar principle.

But......

Li Shouyi's eyes narrowed slowly.

Because, he could see that on the surface of these silicon wafers, there were faint ripples of psionic energy flowing.

So......

In addition to generating electricity, it can also collect psionic energy from sunlight?

Li Shouyi turned his head and asked Zeng Jing: "Bachelor Zeng...... How's the progress in psionic abilities? ”

When Zeng Jing heard this, he shook his head slightly: "Old ...... Li We don't have a good psionic storage technology right now......"

"Most of the psionic energy collected by the power station ...... We can only use the ...... on the spot," he pointed to the several magic circles placed in front of the power station: "We are now directly transporting the collected spiritual energy to these magic circles, and then with the assistance of several officers of the Black Guard, these spiritual energy will be converted into magic ......"

"What spell?" Li Shouyi asked.

Zeng Jing laughed: "The dust removal technique ......"

"Now, our building can be said to have a constant cleaning technique......

Li Shouyi listened and nodded.

Dusting is a basic spell that can be used by a lieutenant.

It is also a common technique used by transcendentals.

After all, doing laundry or something is a hassle for many people.

With the dust removal technique, most of the dust and stains are immediately cleaned with a single technique.

It can also be regarded as the most popular spell at present.

Up to him, down to the captain of the black guard, everyone is using it, and the effect is very good!

"Now, the psionic energy generated by this power station can maintain the dust removal of this building?" Li Shouyi asked the key.

"Almost!" Zeng Jing replied: "Sometimes it may not be enough...... But it doesn't matter......"

"We don't need to dust all the time......"

"In fact, apart from the initial demonstration, we only dust more than a dozen times a day......

Li Shouyi listened, but his eyes lit up: "You don't need to dust all the time......

This sentence made him pause.

Oh, yes......

Most spells only need to be used in key cases.

Other times, it's the right thing to do.

So, he asked, "Is it possible to solve the technology of psionic energy storage?" ”

Zeng Jing shook his head: "It's difficult!" ”

"The properties of psionic energy, very special ......"

"And there is no pattern......

"And it's easy to get away!"

"If it......" he looked at Li Shouyi and said, "We can have the magic circle technology engraved in the coin......"

"Even if it's just one percent ......"

"It should be ready to be stored......

Pity......

Li Shouyi also sighed.

He's seen the cracked coin, and it's a miracle!

Hundreds of millions of tiny circles, in a very special way, are integrated with each other.

And those magic circles, I can't even see them clearly.

It can't be observed!

Because they are not engraved on the material at all.

It is engraved on psionic energy.

It's like a restraint, restraining that huge amount of psionic energy.

All the instruments of the Federal Empire cannot be directly observed.

If you can't see it, how can you talk about research?

However, Li Shouyi's heart is still agitated.

Because, he finally confirmed.

Science and metaphysics are interchangeable!

Now, the reason why people can't metaphysics, perhaps, is as he thinks.

The ability of life is too low, and the knowledge is too little.

Just as ants can't explain humans, how can humans explain something more advanced?
