Chapter 767: Knowledge is Power

When night fell, Roddy sat in the living room of the mansion, thinking about how he would talk to Kardashian. Bayi?Chinese.com (8)?? .?8?1?

In the afternoon, Roddy wanted to go directly to Kardashian to ask about the search for the magic tower, but when he met the dragon in the research department, the latter discussed the topic of "airplane flight principle" with him for several hours with a serious face.

Speaking of which, since Tasman met the dragon, Roddy hadn't talked to her so seriously about a topic. Because Kardashian herself is a "big lady" character, she either goes her own way or is pampered and lazy. In fact, she is quite similar to Mai Lin Sera before the great change, except that she is more favored and has a more aggressive style.

Roddy was accustomed to her rough temperament, and thought that the other party was just curious to ask, but never thought that he would keep talking about the theoretical basis of "aerodynamics" - this was not a simple inquiry, but let Roddy explain "physics" from the root.

The laws of macroscopic physics are all in middle and high school, and they are completely handy for Luo Di, a "high-achieving student" who graduated from college. Newton's laws, air pressure, pressure, pressure, and other concepts are not profound things in his opinion, and after countless summaries by his predecessors, these laws are all understandable to smart people. But Roddy is obviously unaware that "science" is far from being a tool for people to understand the world in this world.

Even in modern society, the time when "science" has become the mainstream tool for understanding the world is only a short moment on the scale of the history of human civilization. For a person who has been instilled with more than a decade of modern education, it has become an instinct to use "science" to solve problems - for example, when designing "firebolts" or "airplanes", Roddy follows the scientific verification method in all steps in the plan: observe, ask questions, make hypotheses, verify and confirm that it is repeatable and draw conclusions, etc...

It looks much the same as what other mages do, but Kardashian is clearly aware of the difference.

Although she doesn't like to study, it doesn't mean that her knowledge is shallow. After listening to Roddy's description of the various laws of physics, Kardashian quickly fell into a strange state, and found a laboratory of her own and immediately began to test many of her thoughts.

Luo Di couldn't help it, he didn't dare to interrupt the other party at this time and ask to search for the magic tower, so he waited until the evening.

As a result, Kardashian seemed to have forgotten to eat, and it was not until midnight that she walked out of the laboratory with a solemn face.

"Haven't you eaten yet? I asked the restaurant to prepare dinner and go eat together?"

Seeing this, Roddy hurriedly came up to talk, but Kardashian's response was not as casual as usual, just nodded, and followed downstairs to the mage restaurant without saying a word.

She didn't speak, and Roddy didn't know how to start the conversation. In a somewhat cold atmosphere, Kardashian slowly spoke after eating three steaks in a row: "Who told you this?"

Looking at those calm eyes, Luo Di thought to himself that it was also a problem to know more, so he replied: "According to the summary of my predecessors, after all, I like things with regularity, and if you have regularity, you can save a lot of steps and time, right?"

"How do you know you're summarizing the right pattern?"

Kardashian's voice is flat, but there is an emotion that Roddy can't understand.

"It's very simple, it's reproducible. Luo Di took a sip of warm milk tea, and then pointed to the cup in his hand: "Heat the water with a flame, and the water will become hot." Behind this seemingly ordinary thing is a law: heat can be transferred from a hot object to a cooler object, but it is not possible to transfer heat from a hot object to a hot object. ”

"With this rule, I see a basin of cold bath water, which can naturally be heated by a flame before taking a bath, isn't it?"

Even children can understand the example given by Roddy, but Kardashian was obviously pondering what he said just now, her eyes flickered for a long time, as if thinking about these things made her lose interest in eating, and simply put the knife and fork aside: "What if it can't be repeated? ”

"If you can't repeat it, then it can't be a rule. In fact, what you are talking about is confusing 'correlation' and 'causation' with most people. A fall in the afternoon can be linked to three sneezes in the morning, and catching three fish today is the result of yesterday's prayers. Roddy shrugged, "However, when I really make a test, I pray every day that I may not be able to catch three fish tomorrow, so this is not a causal relationship." As for whether it is relevant or not, I don't believe it if there is no evidence anyway. ”

He actually wanted to say that this thing was not related at all, but there may really be gods in this world, and the "materialism" set naturally cannot be thrown out blindly.

After saying these words, Kardashian became noticeably more silent, staring at the empty plate for a few minutes, and then leaned back in her chair a little dejectedly: "... It suddenly dawned on me that the things of our dragon clan, which claim to represent the mysteries of the world, do not seem to be as incisive as the few words you said. ”

She was indeed stimulated - ordinary people are only amazed when they see "airplanes" and "cars", but Kardashian sees infinite possibilities, ordinary people hear the laws of physics and think that this thing is very simple, but she clearly feels the deeper meaning contained in it...

There is also a similar summary within the dragon family, but it is complicated and boring, and it is extremely troublesome to explain. There is no such thing as "mechanics", and if you ask how many degrees a stone can reach when thrown from the air to the ground, and how much buoyancy the stone will produce when it falls into the water, it can be considered a calculation, and the time spent will be a headache to think about.

F=ma, what a simple and straightforward formula, a few words are enough for Roddy to explain.

But Kardashian doesn't have the concept of "plus" in the dragon classics at all - after thinking about it for a long time, she can only find sentences describing the approximate state, and the words are still unknown.

This afternoon, she has been verifying the formulas and theorems that Luo Di said, and with her high magic control and perception, she can basically be sure that this is not a lack of purpose, but a theoretical basis that really makes the dragons feel ashamed!

This kind of present is probably more valuable than the "space-time rift", but at this time, she was worried about Roddy's situation, and suddenly said: "Knowing too much is sometimes not a good thing." ”

When Luo Di said this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and the phrase "guilty of guilt" involuntarily popped up in his mind.

"Could it be that the dragons will arrest me and torture me for this?"

He really didn't think about this possibility, it was all because Luo Di's realm was not enough, and he didn't realize how desperate the dragons' desire for the "Origin Mystery of the World" was...

Seeing Kardashian nodding silently, Roddy swallowed his saliva, several thoughts flashed in his heart, and then he shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, my life is in your hands." But by disposal, there are no complaints. ”

That being said, his look amused Kardashian, who had been shutting down her face.

She laughed out loud: "If you weren't smart, you would have seen that I didn't plan to poke you out, right?"

This sentence really relieved Roddy, he did guess like this - if you want to leak the secret, it is enough for Kardashian to fly directly to Victor in the afternoon, and what are you talking to yourself?

"It's useless to be smart, it's up to you. ”

Roddy got up to get milk tea for Kardashian, but she held him down: "I want to drink." ”

Calling the servant to change the red wine, Kardashian didn't say anything, came up and drank a big glass directly, and then said a little dejectedly: "Actually, I think that if you tell these things to those elders, they won't choose to believe it." ”

"The pride of the dragon clan has been maintained for tens of thousands of years, and suddenly a nobody pops up and says, 'You believe that everything you have been believing in all these years is wrong', who will agree?"

Kardashian doesn't usually like to use her brain, but that doesn't mean she's a fool. On the contrary, because of her status as the daughter of the lord of the dragon clan, her vision is broader and she understands the way of thinking of the dragon clan leadership.

Roddy was not surprised by this, after all, the process of "science" replacing the church was not achieved overnight, and there were many people who went to the gallows for spreading science - thinking that he almost became a victim of this, Roddy couldn't help but rub his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "So... What do you want to do?"

"I have only one request. ”

Kardashian sat precariously and exhaled slowly: "Teach me everything you know, and I promise that no more dragons will know." ”

The more you know, the more power you have. The way for a mage to improve his strength is not to rely on simple training and meditation, and the release of the "small fireball" ten thousand times cannot allow the mage to master the "Flame Explosion Technique", the breadth of knowledge and the thickness of one's own magic power determine the highest achievement of a mage - this principle also applies to the dragon clan.

This is probably the most important decision since Kardashian was born... Basta's unremitting pursuit makes her realize that if she has always been the "daughter of the lord" in the eyes of others, then she will never be able to escape the fate of "marriage". If the dragon clan wants to break free from this fate, only the real existence is qualified.

Originally, she was negligent in cultivating and improving, but now, she saw this opportunity.

Kardashian never imagined that a seemingly ordinary human being would hold the "key to the world" that mortals can't understand like this... In the face of this temptation, the gap in identity is meaningless, and only knowledge is the source of eternal power.

Roddy has never forgotten the purpose of coming to Kardashian today, but he didn't use this as a quid pro quo at the moment, but nodded and said, "No problem, I'll take out everything I know." ”

As soon as this sentence fell, Roddy saw a line of prompts pop up in the reputation bar: "Frost Dragon's reputation increased by 748o points."
