Today is the second day that the five coolies arrived at the spaceship.

Due to the lack of energy of the bed sister, the hand-cranked power generation does not need Yuan Huang to go to work in person, and the temple snake has not shown its attitude, so it is difficult to determine how to deal with Xun Rin, and Yuan Huang has been very idle recently. In his spare time, he was hungry to ask Sister Bed for advice on Walland and science. Unfortunately, on the first day he understood that this was not a palace at all, but a ship that could go up to heaven and into the earth. Sister Bed is not a magical ghost, but a false personality created out of thin air by the people of the heavenly realm.

Deeply hit.

He no longer called it "palace", but changed the name "spaceship". It's just that the title "Sister Bed" has become quite habitual, and she herself seems to like this new name very much, so she continues to call it. It was nice that she didn't have to change her name to that extra long name - Sister Bed's official name was transliterated as "Aruchikaye Chilikarar Amishalo Rebrazi", and a few more shouts would surely break her tongue ten.

The devastation is far from over.

If you are busy all the time, you will not notice many things. But Yuan Huang is really idle, and there is nothing more important than calming down and learning the magic of the heavenly realm now. Because of this, he discovers more and more truths, and life becomes more and more cruel.

Today, Yuan Huang spent the whole day in his bedroom, listening to Sister Bed's story about Woland, and learning Celestial Language.

The former helps to understand how the magic of the heavenly realm works. He still can't understand the essence of magic like "science" at all, and I'm afraid that the reason why he was able to skip the mana link and activate the short staff was because the civilization origins of the Celestial Realm and the Starfall Continent were different, and he needed to start from the history of Walland and learn from scratch.

The latter is Yuanhuang's own unique experience. He was one of the few young mages of humble status who had mastered three languages—Starfall Continent, Fire Clan, and New World—and he deeply felt that many magic, cultures, and customs could only be understood more deeply after mastering the local language. Translation is not a no-option.

After holding the power of the Heavenly Realm, Yuan Huang did not rush to swindle, fight all over the world, make a fortune or return to his hometown, those are not important, only mastering new magic as quickly as possible and becoming the top archmage is the only thing he cares about. He's such a character, and he's easy to say anything other than becoming an archmage. At the same time, he also has the common problem of most mages, and likes to stay in an ivory tower to study. So for three days, he barely came out of the bedroom.

The carriage flying in the sky, the city wrapped in a huge barrier, and the metal golem that looked exactly like a human were all things that shocked Yuan Huang, and he even couldn't imagine what it looked like - even though Sister Bed provided the rough light green holographic projection of those things, he still didn't quite understand. This reminded him of the first time he went to the big town, like a dirt bun.

"At the beginning, I always wanted to ask why the palatial all-metal palace was only more than 20 meters wide and two or three stories high. It wasn't a palace. ”

In addition to this reason, there is also the issue of "access restrictions". It's no surprise that Woland has many large ships that can be called hundreds, if not thousands, of people, but this ship must be limited to such a size. On the way from Walland to here, you need to pass through a "wormhole". It took only 300 years for the wormhole to expand to about 20 meters in diameter from the first successful artificial opening, but it took more than 2,000 years to expand from 20 meters to about 30 meters today, and there are many problems in ensuring energy supply and stability. Therefore, the ship on the mission of extraterrestrial exploration is at most this size, and no matter how big it is, it will not be able to pass safely. ”

Yuan Huang can say anything at this moment except to respond to Sister Bed's "oh"?

"The planet's geology is different, and Woland has far richer metal deposits than here, and there is nothing in 'all-metal'." Sister Bed suddenly changed her words, "By the way, if you can, I hope that when I return to Voland, I can bring a space mage with me to assist in scientific research in Shuishu County." Space-related research has always been cutting-edge technology, with great difficulties and bottlenecks, but it is not very difficult for you. ”

"Oh." Yuan Huang immediately thought of Xiao Youxiang. Someday, trick her into going to Warland with you. As for whether it will be subjected to inhumane living research, it has nothing to do with him.

As his celestial vocabulary grew, Yuan Huang felt that things were becoming more and more wrong.

Walland also has a religion, and many of the words associated with religion are antonyms with "science." The blacksmith of Volander is not called a blacksmith, but a metallurgical engineer, and it is a profession closely related to "science", but Yuan Huang does not understand why the blacksmith is the same as the source of heavenly magic. The most unbelievable thing for Yuan Huang is that the celestial magic called "science" was developed by many mages, which is nothing, and then it was made and molded by many blacksmiths, which is difficult to understand, and finally fell into the hands of everyone, and this point is in the groove. What the hell is "everyone is equal before science"? What the hell is "you can buy scientific items if you have money"?

Science is really a form of magic, right?

With such a powerful power, what else could it be other than magic?

So Yuan Huang tried to understand how the science of the Heavenly Realm developed without the magic crystal.

"Before there were technologies such as classified machinery, astronautics, hacker programming, etc., Volander's science was originally born from a small group of alchemists. They started out as fraudsters, trying to exchange money and status for the technology of turning stones into gold, but they inadvertently laid the foundation of chemistry. In Wallland's early science, advanced physics and biochemistry were the two pillars of learning, and this foundation developed into what Wallland is today. ”

Sister Bed continued, "I have analyzed why you have not succeeded in developing a scientific civilization, mainly because of the convenience substance called "Magic Crystal". In a world where fire-based magic is within reach, the need for gunpowder has become low, which has seriously affected the foundation of chemistry and left it without a fertile ground to thrive. Not only that, but gold magic also greatly influenced the advent of the Industrial Revolution, and no matter how difficult metallurgy could be solved by magic, all that was needed was the training of a small number of specialized personnel. There is no need for a steam engine, as there is a shock mage that can easily rival the power of several horsepower; There is no need for electric lights, as it has a semi-permanently glowing magic crystal; There is no need for a telephone, because communication magic was developed very early; There was no need for airplanes and ships, because a huge teleportation station was built that could be used across the sea; There is no need for robots, as there are magic and magic golems. So your tech tree has missed a critical point in time and is moving in a very different direction than Woland. ”

"However, your magical civilization is extremely limited, and that is the limit of manpower. Judging by the information I have gathered from the books, the civilization of your entire world has been almost stagnant for a long time, and has long entered the bottleneck of technological development. The fatal drawback of the mage social civilization, which is dominated by a small number of elites, is the lack of manpower. In any case, the power of one person is limited, while science can gather countless people and countless resources into one. The highest magic rank in history is the Eighth Order, right? The Yan Emperor who had reached the eighth order had lived for nearly ten thousand years, but he was still an eighth order, and he had never been able to go any further. If you think of the scientists of Volander as mages, each of them only has two or three orders, and then use the power of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to jointly develop a technology, you can imagine a new magic, which can reach the fifteenth order. Is this really unbelievable? ”

Yuan Huang has endured a spiritual attack similar to the above, for a long, long time.
