========================================

1/02: Photon (photon)1/02/01: Photon (1) - An overview of photons, which is what the ancients called [magic]. But it is only a particle, not an energy.

A photon is a neutral particle that is ubiquitous in multiple parallel universes and can express quantum transitions. It is extremely particle-based.

Photons can induce various physical phenomena, photons can be converted into pure energy, photons exist in the particles of matter, and are part of the matter. Photons have almost no mass.

In the universe, photons, energy, matter, and space-time maintain a constant total amount that can be converted into each other, but the total amount of the four before and after the transformation remains the same.

Photons can also be classified according to their properties and can be divided into [free photons] and [intrinsic photons].

[Free photons] refer to the photons that exist in the world, can enter and exit the living body freely, and cannot be retained in the living organism for a long time, and their structure is generally relatively simple.

[Intrinsic photons] are generally generated in epic-level organisms, and are generally formed by the aggregation of [free photons], which can remain in the organism for a long time. Whether or not it can independently produce [intrinsic photons] is the criterion for determining whether a creature is an epic photonic organism. The process by which intrinsic photons are cracked into free photons produces a large amount of energy, which is one of the reasons why epic creatures are so powerful.

1/02/02: Photon (2) - Application of PhotonsIn the Pantoraken-Orim space-time, photons are generally used in two ways: photon mirrors and photon conduction.

1/02/02A: Application of photons (A): Photon mirrors come from an ore called [light stone]. Light stone has the property of reflecting photons from nature.

The lightstone is refined, tiled on a plane, and energized, the matrix of the lightstone can produce a stable and continuous reflection effect, continuously reflecting the photons of the matrix panel outward, and continuously replenishing photons from other planes, and finally forming a continuous flow of photons perpendicular to the matrix panel.

It only needs to consume electricity to maintain the flow of photons, and when the flow of photons can produce propulsion in the opposite direction, most of the initial photon mirrors are used in the propulsion system of spacecraft. The anti-gravity flight engine appeared in the very early history of the Pantoraken-Orim space-time, but the power supply at that time was still lagging behind, and the development of the anti-gravity engine was hindered.

1/02/02A1: (A1) Application of Photon Mirrors 1: The application of photon gun photon mirrors to weapon systems was in the Middle Ages. The original photon weapons were a stream of photons emitted by a large number of mirrors, creating a beam cannon-like effect. However, at that time, photon compression, photon diversion, and enchantment forming were not yet developed, and the power of the beam cannon was not ideal, at most it was the degree of baking food.

With the development of modern jishu, the photon stream can be compressed to a very lethal degree, and the emitted high-pressure photon stream can rub against the atmosphere at a certain distance, producing a highly hot ionized substance, making the light gun a very lethal weapon. However, beyond the range, the photon flow will decay rapidly, and the power will be greatly reduced.

However, there is a bottleneck in photon munitions: because the photons present in the atmosphere will have a photonic friction with the emitted photon stream, the velocity of the emitted photon stream is always limited to one-sixtieth of the speed of light, and no matter how high the compression law is and how energetic the photon flow is, it is impossible to exceed this rate of fire, because the higher the compression law and the higher the initial velocity, the more obvious the friction phenomenon of the photon flow. It was once envisioned that the use of enchantment plasty would create a photon vacuum region in the orbit of the photon stream in order to increase the rate of fire of the photon weapon, which was the concept of the so-called [railgun]. However, there has not been much breakthrough in the application of enchantment plasty in long-distance applications, and the railgun has not been able to be put into practical use.

1/02/02A2: (A2) Application of Photon Mirror 2: Photon Shield and Photon ArmorAfter the light bullets became a lethal long-range attack, enchantment plasty provided the possibility to defend against light bullets: by enclosing the flow of photons in a shrouded enchantment, it was easy to defend against most light bullets.

Due to the mutually exclusive effect of two high-density streams of photons, the photon shield acts as a buffer against the light, causing the light projectile to bounce off the user, or decay rapidly, and become less lethal.

As a result, the battle of modern times quickly became a mutual angle between the photon gun and the photon shield on the jishu. In fact, it is impossible for both sides to inflict massive damage on the enemy at once with ranged weapons, and it is usually necessary to cut off the opponent's photon shield before they can deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.

Photon armor is made of light stone mixed into the armor's alloy. Armor that is constantly charged during combat can provide reliable protection for the user, but the armor becomes "heavy" as the photons are charged, not because of the mass weight, but because of the photon friction effect, which slows the user down in movement. The more photons the photon armor is filled with, the better the protection and the more noticeable the slowdown. If you just increase your defenses, you may end up in a situation where you are completely immobile and left to be slaughtered.

1/02/02A3:(A3) Application of Photon Reflector 3: Light BladeIn response to the low efficiency of photon guns in battle, some people have proposed the idea of making photon melee weapons in combination with the high-precision enchantment shaping technique developed in modern times: by limiting the photon flow to a fixed energy field (enchantment), photons can be compressed to a very terrifying point, and the photon blade that constantly emits excess light in the enchantment surrounded by high energy can easily cut off any matter, and even the high-energy photon shield will become vulnerable.

In the era when photon shields and photon guns were at each other's angles on jishu, photon melee weapons became the mainstream. Of course, the price of this powerful attack is that you need to be close to your opponent in order to be effective.

Through very harsh training, as well as high-level photon armor, the knights of Pendraken have long been accustomed to this high-speed approach, one-hit killing method. They have even trained their mental reflexes to the extreme, and can easily dodge oncoming light bullets, or use light blades to bounce light bullets back. The Pandraken Knights, who went on a rampage in a hail of bullets, once terrified the entire continent, even though that was five centuries ago.

1/02/02A4: (A4) Photon Application 4: Photonic Buffering is actually an extension of photon friction. The core of this effect is that when a highly concentrated photon (later referred to as a stream of photons A) moves in a normal space, it will inevitably rub against the free photons in space, so that A will inevitably move slower.

The higher the concentration of A, the greater the frictional effect and the faster the decay rate.

Therefore, even if it can make a powerful ultra-high condensed photon stream, if it cannot be launched, or the range is extremely short and the bullet speed is extremely slow, it is of no practical significance.

The same is true for melee weapons such as light blades: even if they can gather a very high concentration of photons to produce amazing lethality, they cannot be used by anyone because of the cushioning effect, so they cannot be used as weapons.

Similarly, Photon Shields and Photon Armor will also increase the photon buffering effect during the process of charging photons. Blindly trying to improve the protective performance of the armor, Zuihou will only make the user immobile.

There is another interesting phenomenon about photon buffering. Suppose there are two beams of high concentration and confined to two independent enchantments: when A and B intersect at a certain velocity, these A and B will eventually bounce off each other because of the mutual buffering and the friction of photons in the atmosphere.

To put it simply, the blades intersect with each other and bounce off each other (much like a physical sword bounce off a collision), but the side with a relatively small photon concentration will experience a larger reaction force.

In the same way, if the blade is slashed at armor infused with a high concentration of photons, it may also be bounced off, so experienced warriors will generally choose the weaker part of the opponent's armor.

1/02/02A5: (A5) Photon Application: Photon Weapon Damage Determination: Basic AttributesPhoton Weapon actually comes with a series of complex damage after hitting the target.

(1) Cutting injury. It is generally evident in melee weapons such as the Light Blade. The flow of photons at high speed within the barrier is like a separate saw blade that can easily cut through the surface of an object.

(2) Cautery damage. A stream of high-energy photons transfers energy while touching the surface of an object, causing the target surface to dissolve at the molecular level, followed by vaporization or plasmaization. The situation is like welding an object. This damage is usually noticeable when hitting an object with low protection.

(3) Impact damage. The target's defense is high, and when the object composition contains a large number of photons, the cutting and dissolution are not obvious, but the photon buffering effect shows a single impact damage, as if the high-pressure water was hitting a rock. Light bullets are generally bounced off, and melee weapons are slashed on heavy armor, and both sides are subjected to a certain amount of reaction force, and the side with a lower concentration of photons in the weapon or armor is subjected to a greater force. (See 1/02/02A4: Photon Cushioning Effect) due to the impact force generated that may penetrate the armor and cause local internal injuries to the opponent, and there are also methods of using large photon hammers to break through the armor, which has significant lethality against targets wearing heavy armor. But the weight of the photon hammer is not something that the average human arm can wield.

Slashing, fusing and impacting are the basic attributes of a photonic weapon, and they are a must for any photonic weapon, and how each attribute manifests depends on the opponent's protective equipment.

1/02/02A6: (A6) Photon Application: Photon Weapon Damage Determination: Additional Stats - "Filter" and "Enchantment"

In addition to the three basic stats of Slash, Meltdown, and Impact, a stream of photons used to attack can also have additional physics attached to it. These effects are generally achieved through two means, namely [Filter] and [Enchantment].

[Filter] is a device that is generally used on devices that purely output photon streams, such as lightsabers, to change the properties of some photons while the photons flow through the filter to produce a series of special physical phenomena such as high temperature, freezing, and electric shock, which is somewhat similar to the process of magicians using magic.

Since the weapon's photon output is constant, the filter is equivalent to sacrificing a portion of the weapon's lethality to create a special physical effect.

[Enchantment] is applied to older real-world weapons to increase their performance. For example, a large number of photons are filled with an iron sword to increase the sharpness and hardness of the iron sword. Similar to [Filters], [Enchantment] can also produce various special physical phenomena, but the physical properties of the physical weapon itself limit the strength of the weapon's enchantment. That is, it is impossible to attach an enchantment that a physical weapon cannot withstand. If a hot enchantment is attached but the blade is unable to withstand the heat, the sword will immediately dissolve and become unusable.

Another problem with enchanting physical weapons is that they make them [heavy]. Although the actual weight does not increase or decrease after the photon is charged, the weapon becomes heavy and difficult to wield due to the photon cushioning effect during the swing of the weapon. The more powerful the enchantment, the heavier the weapon, so warriors who used physical swords in ancient times generally had amazing arm strength.

1/02/02B: Application of Photons (B): Photonic Conduction (Magic) has been passed down since ancient times, using the neural network of living organisms as a conductor of photon flow, and brain quantum waves as a catalyst for control, in order to induce various physical phenomena.

1/02/02B1: (B1) Magic Summary 1: The Origin of Magic "Magic" originates from the ancient superstitious belief that the legend is that the demon granted humans the jishu to control the photon. Nowadays, science is more likely to believe that magic is taught to humans by extraterrestrial visitors or visitors from other planes. It is not excluded that it was only discovered by chance in practice by the ancients.

Before the existence of photons was officially recognized by the scientific community, it was not uncommon for users of magic to be arrested and burned in public as "witches" and "wizards". The high probs of various religions to be able to use "miracles", but in the end they are a variant of photon diversion, which is essentially no different from magic.

Of course, there are still a lot of mysteries about magic. The use of magic by the predecessors was entirely based on the accumulation of experience, but the principle of magic-induced physical phenomena has only been explained in a very small part so far. The more convincing theory is that the quantum waves and photon streams in the caster's brain cause a series of complex chain reactions, and eventually partially distort part of the physical laws of Shijie, causing special physical phenomena. For example, the fireball technique distorts the ignition point of the catalyst, causing the catalyst to burn in an instant. (In order for a fireball to be launched, another "orbital acceleration" spell is actually required, but it is generally believed that it is part of the fireball spell and is cast at the same time) 1/02/02B2: (B2) Magic Summary 2: The pros and cons of magic are different from photon weapons with fixed output, and magic does not have a maximum output. The magic caster is just a channel, and the flow of photons in space passes through the caster's nerves, producing magic. Photons in nature are almost infinite, and so is the output of magic. A spellcaster, if he or she takes the time to learn and prepare the necessary catalysts, will be able to cast powerful spells, such as the ultimate magic spell "Fusion", the power of which can instantly turn a city into ashes.

Although powerful, the magic user will also suffer a serious backlash: petrification.

The number of photons that can be accepted by the physical body of an organism in its lifetime is fixed. Photons enter the body of living organisms by means such as eating to maintain the life activities of living organisms. If there is a lack of photons, the flesh will be weak and powerless, and if there are enough photons, the flesh will be strong and powerful. Most of the time, photons stay in the organism for a good period of time and then decay and leave the organism to return to nature. The cycle by which photons enter an organism until it returns to nature is called the biophoton cycle. The cycle of a human being is about 2 weeks. The longer the cycle, the longer the lifespan, and vice versa, the faster the aging.

Therefore, an excess of photons entering the organism in a short period of time will accelerate the aging of the cell, and if a very large number of photons flow into the organism at once, it will even cause the rapid necrosis of the biological cell. Using the Great Magic, a large number of photons flow into the caster's body in a short period of time, and all the body cells of the caster will die at once and keratinize at a high rate. The caster's body will immediately become stiff like a stone, and he will die in an instant.

Therefore, the user of magic is often associated with death. No one knows if it's time to petrify after using the next one. Even if it is used normally, the harm of magic to the human body still exists, and people who use magic generally age faster than normal people.

Therefore, magicians generally do not perform magic with their bare hands, but use very pure light stones as a catalyst for magic, so that the flow of photons passing through the human neural network is minimized, so that the damage to the flesh is minimized.

Of course, tools are not a panacea. The higher the magician, the more delicate the magician must be to control the flow of photons, the more he can minimize the damage caused by the spell. But damage is always inevitable, because the final phase of the magic requires the resonance of photon flow and brain quantum waves, and in any case there will always be a part of the photon flow through the human body.

1/02/02B3: (B3) Magic Summary (3): Magic and Strategy It is precisely because the use of magic is inevitable that the damage to the flesh is unavoidable, whether a spell needs to be activated, when to activate it, and how to activate it to receive the best effect, which has become the final topic that magicians need to spend their lives studying.

The use of magic, simply put, is a combination of skill and strategy, and only those who are truly wise can grasp its essence and live for a long time. As the magicians of the ivory tower often say: "The magician who can use the strongest magic is not necessarily the strongest, but the magician who laughs until he laughs alive is the real strongest." "1/02/02B4: (B4) Summary of Magic (4): Forbidden spells refer to those great magic spells that must never be used, and if used, the caster will inevitably be petrified. Even in modern times, with such advanced equipment and perfect photon control jishu, there are some magic tricks that are still unbearable for the mortal body. The human body is like a water pipe, no matter how strong the design of the water pipe is, and how good the drainage equipment is, it is impossible to let the water flow through an entire river in a short time. If you insist on using the forbidden technique, it will be like smashing a water pipe, allowing the water to flow without restraint, and causing the collapsed river embankment to overflow. The broken flesh bears only the initial catalyst, and the insufficient part is borne in nature by a chain reaction of photon flows. The effect is, of course, devastating. Therefore, forbidden spells, without exception, are destructive spells, and they are completely uncontrollable.

The three most well-known forbidden techniques: [Fusion], [Space-Time Fission] and [Mass Collapse], are all through the chain reaction of photons to create energy, space-time and matter out of control, the effect is devastating, any one is not well controlled, it may create an artificial black hole, destroy the entire universe, it can be said to destroy the balance of shijie, unforgivable forbidden art. Such a dangerous forbidden spell is, of course, kept by the Supreme Council of the Ivory Tower, and only a very small number of magic masters will know about it. However, in order to balance the ivory tower, the council of Pantoraken once let the heavenly knights of the Four Heavens Knights learn the three forbidden arts. As a result, the forbidden art has been passed down from generation to generation among the commanders of the Knights (Heavenly Knights).

========================================1/03: theMIRACALES All of the "magic" in the multiple parallel universes is induced by manipulating/changing the nature of photons. Because the total amount of mass-energy space-time photons is constant, the magic is merely an equivalent exchange of photons that exist on the shijie from one form to another.

A miracle is called a miracle because it completely overthrows the concept of equivalent exchange, not the mutual transformation of [being], but the conjuring of [being] out of thin air from [nothing].

The three known miracles, the first miracle [space-time creation], the second miracle [mass-energy creation], and the third miracle [photon creation], are all space-time/mass/photons created out of thin air from places that did not exist in the first place. Generally speaking, things created from this will be immediately modified by Shijie and eventually disappear, but they are indeed things that have been created and actually existed.

This kind of creation is actually very close to the realm of God, and whether or not a person can use [miracles] is something that is decided when this person is born, and it is the person's [talent].

People who don't have this kind of talent can't achieve [miracles] no matter how much they rely on acquired training.

A person with this talent is considered to be [burdened with a great fate], so Shijie bestows [miracles] on him/her as a tool for him/her to change Shijie.

Similar to magic, the number of times a person can use [Miracles] per day is limited, and the actual number of times depends on the scale and nature of the miracle, and has nothing to do with one's physique and level of cultivation. In other words, no matter how much you cultivate, you can't change the number of times a person uses miracles every day.
