Chapter 86: Pursuit and Escape (4)
Bruno makes it clear that everything in nature, including your position, is in universal connection and constant movement.
As a result, the plane cracks that have ruptured in recent years have caused huge ocean tides, seawater erosion, and tsunami disasters.
This dimensional change is the process of continuous transformation of various forms of energy contained in the unified cosmic material entity, and the things of several planes, or the energy of the ocean, will eventually form a unified and stable giant ocean connecting several planes after mutual infusion and balance.
Bruno also discusses his opposition to the "great" infinite cosmic space and the "small" microcosm.
He pointed out that "in the universe, there is no difference between volume and point, no difference between the center and the periphery, no difference between the finite and the infinite, and no difference between the largest and the smallest."
Roughly speaking, there is no marginal concept of the entire universe, and the extreme distances above and below the four directions are seamlessly connected with other directions, so naturally there is no difference between the center and the periphery.
He regarded the principle of the unity of opposites such as matter, the amount of magic energy, etc., as the key to understanding nature and discovering the truth, and raised this doctrine to the level of methodology for exploring the ultimate mystery of magic.
He concluded: "Whoever wants to know the greatest secret of witchcraft and supernatural power should study and observe the greatest and smallest differences between the contradictions and opposites of magic and natural power." The innovation of esoteric spell analysis lies in the ability to first find the point of combination, and then lead to the opposite side to compare repeatedly. ”
Then.
Their discussion gradually extended from spells and martial arts techniques, and various purely academic issues to the turmoil in Sarn City.
Bruno was silent for a long time, and at last, after careful consideration, he sighed meaningfully and said: "There can be no such country, such a city, such a generation, such a family, whose members should have the same spleen and stomach, without opposing and contradictory personalities. Even the Griff father and son are no exception~ There is only one ruler of a city after all. Whether to choose a syndicate with strong internal control, or to throw into the arms of a cartel alliance with relatively loose control members, is only a temporary choice for the ruler!"
"You mean, the current Speaker Clement is probably not a staunch supporter of the Syndicate Alliance, right, he still needs the resources and strength of the Alliance to support him to stand firm now, just as his stepfather borrowed the Alliance's huge multinational ocean-going fleet with strong ships and guns when he occupied this continent's resource chain many years ago. ”
Chen Xuyuan's next opportunity to talk was also through the mouth of Bruno, who had traveled to several continents, to understand the subtle political relations between various continents and countries, especially several behemoths across continents - four huge commercial and resource monopoly federations led by wizards.
"The great wealth and power that comes with the city of Sarn's prominence and influence over commerce throughout the island of Wraeclast. It is not only the "source" of "all evils", but also the "bread for the development of civilization" and the "foundation of the teacher and cultivator" of all virtues. After all~ social progress and the construction and development of civilization always need money, isn't it~ hehehehe~"
"I really admire your astrological and astrological attainments, as well as your clear understanding of the political situation~" Master Chen rarely expressed his sincere admiration to a local indigenous scholar.
After all, in his opinion, although the world has a wonderful witchcraft that pries the laws of animal reason, the overall scientific concept and technology are of different lengths, and on the whole only stay in the seventies of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century.
The world has not yet developed to the stage of breakthroughs in the application of electrical energy that occurred in Germany and the United States in the recent history of the earth world, and the internal combustion engine has not yet appeared.
On the basis of this kind of civilization, those who can put forward some unique views on the future development of mankind with great foresight are not the prophets and sages of human civilization who have developed hysterical neurosis and are far beyond the limits of ordinary people's vision and thinking ability.
However, according to Bruno, some alchemists have made expensive fuel that far exceeds the effect of oil, and combined with the enchantment effect on the machinery, the operation of the steam engine can be greatly enhanced.
It's just that this expensive fuel is a special case after all, and it is impossible to develop it to the point where the logistics and transportation of land vehicles on the earth are prosperous, so that the development of civilization and the exchange of commercial goods can be greatly promoted.
Only a few developed countries on other continents have maturely applied the steam engine to airships and ships to transport some lucrative local specialties and bulk futures of physical commodities and goods.
"Where~Where~ You also have a good opinion on this way, and it is rare that you are also proficient in anatomy, biology, anthropology, geology, etc., and at the same time proficient in martial arts and witchcraft to a very high level, it is really an amazing doctor~"
Giordano Bruno also stroked his long beard, and was a little impressed by the fellow wizard in front of him.
After all.
Even if Bruno himself is modest, he is regarded by ordinary people as one of the most learned anthropologists of this era, how can he not have arrogance in his heart.
Just after talking and communicating with the wizard opposite him, who was twenty years younger than him, he immediately restrained his usual tone of teaching juniors, and quickly turned into a fierce academic discussion between them.
The two of them talked this night, and they both felt that they had gained a lot in knowledge and ideas.
Although Chen Xuyuan has repeatedly brought over the conceptual knowledge of the earth, there are some places that are not suitable for this plane.
While Bruno gave him some suggestions, he thought that he was a hypothesis made after his own thinking, and was even more amazed by his whimsy and talent, and even wanted to recommend him to the position of chief scholar in some country where his theory was admired.
You must know that in this scientifically backward world, the status of famous scholars is not inferior to that of any wizard.
On the contrary, because of his expertise as a doctor, pharmacist, historian, navigator, court astrologer, political and financial advisor, etc., he has an absolute foothold in the court of a country, and even the most conceited emperor will ask his scholars before deciding on something.
As a matter of fact.
In some small and medium-sized countries, the position of prime minister, the hand of the king and the supreme leader of the civil service, is generally held by the most prestigious polymath.
The founding emperors of many new small and medium-sized countries were a bit like the kings of ancient Europe.
Many of them were pioneers, and they could only fight and lead their troops, and only after the establishment of these new kings would they invite some famous scholars to teach their children all kinds of knowledge necessary to rule.
