Chapter 152 Excellent but Not Great
In fact, the relationship between applied science and productive forces is a bit like the mutual promotion and mutual restraint that political textbooks say, just like the economic base and superstructure. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the development of theoretical science can still rely on some geniuses to surpass the times and imagine wildly, then the development of applied science will really be limited by the times, and the emergence of many experimental instruments depends on the development of industry and materials science.
If there is a one-to-one correspondence, in this world, magic is similar to the applied science of the earth, and the study of the elements is similar to the theoretical science, if Al believes that the mages of thousands of years ago have already set foot in the field of onlookers, in that era when bronze tools were still used and many people were still wearing animal skins, the atomic theory was developed, how is this possible?
If that's the case, it can only be explained by the black technology brought by aliens.
If it weren't for the splitting and fusion of atoms, what was the principle that caused the magic like an atomic bomb? Al couldn't figure it out, and even Sheldon and Old Mage Potter didn't have a clue.
"Let's put that aside and think about something else. Seeing Al and Sheldon both looking at him in surprise, Old Potter waved his hand and said like a fly: "Perseverance is certainly a beautiful quality, but if you only think in one place, it will inevitably become a bull's horn." It's like fighting a war, if you can't break through head-on, try a side detour, and you shouldn't block all other paths that are likely to succeed. ”
"For example, we can think about why the elves mutated after the Big Bang? He raised a new topic.
Al wanted to complain: isn't this a problem any simpler than the previous explosion? Who knows why those elves mutated?
Even on Earth, human beings have made major breakthroughs in the quantum realm, and can ascend into space and land on Earth, but there is still much we do not know about the mystery of the human body. For example, the mysterious DNA, such as cancer, is still threatening human beings, such as what is heredity, what about the origin of species, why is there a fault line in the Big Bang, and trying to explore the mysteries of the human body is as difficult and time-consuming as exploring the universe.
So why do elves mutate, and why do they become different races like a new race? This is another difficult subject of study, and Al is not optimistic about it at all, it is likely to be time-consuming and laborious, and in the end it will not lead to anything.
Seeing Sheldon and Mage Potter frowning and the way the slaves were thinking, Al really couldn't bear to watch them blink their heads in front of the iron wall, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I once saw such a saying: the human body is actually the most sophisticated magic circle, and I think the body of the elf may be the same. Since it is a magic circle, it will naturally be affected by the elements, could it be that the big explosion caused a violent change in the elements, causing the elven body to change - this magic circle has changed?"
Then he added: "And this mutation is not a temporary change, but will be passed down with the bloodline, and even form a new race, and the impact of elemental changes on the body may be beyond our imagination." ”
Sheldon and Mage Potter looked at each other, "The human body is actually the most sophisticated magic circle. Master Potter chewed on the words, stroked his palm, and praised, "Wonderful ideas, wonderful ideas, really genius ideas, if you consider it from this point of view, ......", he leaned back in his chair, and began to ponder.
"Who came up with this idea, Al?", Sheldon asked, also intrigued.
"I saw it in that book. Al coughed lightly and said briefly. But despite the vague words, Sheldon and Mage Potter immediately thought of the forbidden books that Al had taken out of the three bookshelves on the top floor, and Sheldon didn't speak again, and everyone fell silent for a while.
"So if the magical knowledge of our predecessors can be passed down to the present, what kind of glorious civilization can we create? "If this is the case, the elemental changes may be far beyond our imagination, and it will not be as simple as a big bang. ”
After the U.S. military dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the harm caused by nuclear radiation exceeded the destructive power of the atomic bomb itself, and the powerful radiation caused radiation sickness, which is a systemic reaction of the body, and pathological changes occurred in almost all organs and systems, but the changes in the nervous system, hematopoietic organs, and digestive system were the most obvious, and even caused cancer, causing fetal death and malformations.
From this point of view, the element also has radioactive properties, that is, it spontaneously emits rays from an unstable nucleus, and decays to form a stable element and stops radiating. But why hasn't the body of a mage who uses magic a lot changed? Al thinks it's probably human blood, and because human blood can't react to the elements, it can't rely on instinct to cast spells naturally, but it also forms protection.
On the contrary, the blood of the elves may be more sensitive to the elements, and the Silvermoon Forest has a density and content of elements far beyond other regions, so the sudden strong changes in the elements cause aberrations in the elves' bodies and even genes, which is what El guessed about this.
In this case, the subject went back to the original point, what principle did the mages discover thousands of years ago?what experiments were done?caused such a drastic change in the elements? Al discussed with Sheldon and Master Potter for a long time, until the sun went down, everyone was exhausted, and still could not come up with a result, not even a conjecture, every time an idea was proposed, it was quickly refuted, and every one of them stood up.
The library slowly dimmed, the electric lights sent by Al began to glow, Sheldon got up and began to pack up the various experimental equipment, while Al accompanied Master Potter on his daily routine of sorting out the books.
"Little El, I agree with what you said to Sheldon that you want to use magic for the benefit of the people and not just for killing. Mage Potter looked at the bright light and said to Al, "We are mages, not butchers, and executioners. As you strive to find the truth, you may as much as you can to leave some kindness, so I have always been sure that you can be a good mage, and I feel comfortable handing over that book to you. ”
"Is it a good mage, not a great mage?", Al said with a little frustration and a little self-deprecation.
