Chapter Eighty-Nine: More Exciting
Since coming to this world, Zhang Quan has always been interested in legendary magic. The wonder of magic has long been described in the literature of the earth, magical, terrifying, almost unconstrained by the objective world, without basic logic, in his opinion this is magic.
He was full of curiosity about magic, the kind of curiosity that came from human nature, but he was a logical science student after all, and magic, although wonderful and beautiful to him, could not be combined with rigorous reality.
He had never imagined that he would actually face the power of magic.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that crossing into this magical world was a reality he had to face.
In this world, all the information he has received so far has shown him that magic is real in this world, and that it is of equal importance to this world or to the industrial science and technology of the earth.
For a long time, he had been privately speculating that the magic of this world might not be the kind of magic in the novels of the earth, but in fact it was just a concept that was very similar to the magic of the earth in the lingua franca, and he preferred to believe that it was his own grammatical misunderstanding of the lingua franca of the continent, and that this magic might be very similar to the concept of science in another world, and it was also a category similar to the accumulation of empirical knowledge.
A logical earthling who wants to understand and guess the magic that exists in reality may only be able to understand it in this way.
In this world, everything he has encountered so far has revealed to him the fact that this world is still materialistic, and it still follows the objective laws of physics that he knows, the laws of conservation, physics and chemistry—the laws of science that he has learned on earth are all in this world, and until now he has not found anything in this world that does not conform to the laws and logic of objective facts.
Of course, the wormhole door doesn't count, strictly speaking, it should be something outside the scope of the earth's scientific and technological explanation, and he doesn't understand it, but it doesn't mean that this thing doesn't obey the objective physical logic of the world.
In his impression, the world of Gaia, which is still a real world, is a completely objective and real world, a world that follows the laws of objective matter, and those things that are idealistic, do not obey logic, and are unrealistic in this world also exist only in human imagination, and should not be transformed into reality.
As an earthling, growing up in this era, science is extremely advanced, and its brilliance and power have already conquered the entire human world, transforming the logic of his brain, in this case, this is the only possible reaction he can have.
Even before, when he heard about the existence of the God of War sacrifice and was introduced to him by the orcs in an extremely proud tone, he only tried to understand it in the way of an earthling, even if he saw the elves with his own eyes, he never broke this cognition in his heart. In his subconscious, he has always been skeptical about the existence of magic, and has been refuting his real existence with various reasons!
And now, the description of the two elves just now has ruthlessly broken his expectation - magic actually exists, and the logic of existence is also true, the elves even use magic to transform plants, carry out agricultural production, and establish a complete set of material productivity system with magic as the core.
A whole system of material productivity!
Was this magic really as he imagined, the kind of magic that would appear with fireballs when magicians then swiped, and when they posed casually and recited a few incantations, they would explode into forbidden spells? Is it the kind of magic that magicians can use to transform the material world at will, and there is no self-respecting magic outside the mind? Is it the kind of magic that can even cross the boundaries of the physical world, awaken the souls of the dead, and transform corpses into creatures that transcend the boundaries between life and death?
How does this kind of magic, which is completely incomprehensible by the physical logic of earthlings, act on the physical reality of the objective world?
And once this legendary magic can come out of the imagination of consciousness and be used in large quantities to transform the objective world, what will the transformed world look like?
First of all, it can be said that a large number of laws of physical reality will be completely changed, the basic logic that people follow will also be completely subverted, and once the world that follows basic mechanics is invaded by magic, the entire worldview will cease to exist.
Think about it! The rules of gravitation will no longer exist, the existence of electromagnetic force is also questionable, even the law of conservation of matter and energy does not know whether it can continue to exist, and the basis for the existence of basic material elements has been subverted, so will the entire material world built on such a basis continue to exist? Is there still a possibility of a physical world?
World! Objective! Substance! Idealism! The conflict of these concepts is completely irreconcilable, and this is simply a mess!
For a while, countless contradictory thoughts appeared in his mind, and they fought to the death with each other......
At this moment, he was completely messed up in the wind, almost couldn't figure out who he was, what kind of world he was in, true and false, illusory and real, at this moment, everything he had experienced for more than a year passed in front of his eyes like a gramophone, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a real reality, or just a beautiful dream in his otaku dream series.
……
If all this is true, then what exactly is magic? What kind of existence is magic that can stand alone above the laws of the physical world? And the principle of magic, is it really a kind of magic? Is it really manipulated by the human psychic power, which is the most unreliable thing in the material world's cognition?
It contains a series of irreconcilable conflicts in human cognition, the opposition between body and soul, spiritual force and matter, the objective world and the independent will of the human subject, and in the end, if you keep thinking about it, everything will return to the original point - matter and consciousness, the ultimate torture of human philosophy!
……
The mind roared like a giant drum, and countless concepts and thinking patterns were transformed into the contact of countless neuronal cells in Zhang Quan's brain, and the dendrites and axons of countless cells were awakened at the same time at this moment, and they moved rapidly, Zhang Quan's brain was like a nest of boiling porridge, and all the neurons were stretched and expanded to the limit, transmitting a large number of surging electrical signals between each other.
Countless cells died, countless cells were born at the same time, huge knowledge systems collapsed, and at the same time, knowledge systems stood up again in the ruins!
In the end, when his mind returned to reality, Zhang Quan found that he seemed to have forgotten everything, but as if he had been reborn from the ashes, he once again found that this Gaia world was far from the world he originally knew, and this world was full of too many unknowns!
After a huge emotional shock, the kind of unstingy temperament in Zhang Quan's heart regained the upper hand, why do you want to go to NM? The unknown, there is nothing to be afraid of, what is terrible is that in the face of the horror of the unknown, human beings have lost the courage to continue to move forward and explore.
In short, no matter what kind of world this Gaia world is, no matter what kind of magic the elves are, he simply treats himself as nothing, is clear, and starts from scratch to re-understand this world.
It is precisely because of the unknown that it is more exciting!
