Chapter 609: Sonata of the Great Era
What is Magic Circle?
To understand what a magic circle is, you must first understand what magic is.
After becoming a magic array brick family, on this day, at this moment, in the fragrance of tea, in the conversation with Archmage Garodos, there were all kinds of magic, in Fang Tian's heart, like a stream, slowly flowing.
Between heaven and earth, or in the atmosphere, there is zài air, which is already a kind of knowledge close to common sense in the previous life.
This air is closely related to the activities of life, not to mention breathing or anything, just to say that whether it is this world or the previous life, people are very familiar with a behavior, fanning.
In the hot season, everything that is not too heavy and is generally in the form of sheets, such as clothes, hats, large leaves, books, pieces of cardboard, etc., can be held in the hand and swing back and forth to create "wind" to relieve the heat.
The so-called "wind" is actually the flow of air, which is no different from the flow of water, except that one is a sparse gaseous state and the other is an aggregated liquid state.
What if there is no air, in other words, in a vacuum, to fan a fan?
The answer is, no matter how much you fan, there can't be any "wind".
In this world, magic, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than mobilizing the movement of particles, air, water, and earth to disperse, gather, or flow in a particular direction.
When the air is propelled, the wind is generated.
If the speed of the push is fast, a storm is created.
If you don't push it straight, but push it with some deflection, you create a whirlwind.
If the whirlwind is three meters wide, it can be used to roll up or push an object, and if it is only a little finger width or even thinner, it can be used to cut the object. ――This is the advanced version of the Wind Blade.
It's a wind-based spell.
Water spells are basically the same as this. The earth system is dispersed and gathered, while the fire system is gathered and oscillated.
It may be difficult for people in this world to understand why, among the four basic elemental spells, wind spells are the easiest to cast, followed by water spells, and earth spells. This is something that was easy for elementary school students in previous lives, but in this world, it is likely that even the archmage can't figure it out.
They couldn't understand why some magicians were good at wind, some were good at water, and some were good at earth.
It stands to reason. A mage who is good at the most difficult earth-based spells should be easily "backward compatible" with the less difficult or even relatively simple water and wind systems, right?
But this is not the case at all.
They may not be able to understand the truth either.
And this thing, in a previous life. As long as one knows the word "frequency", it is easy to understand.
wind, water, fire, earth. The concussion of the four elements. Each has its own specific frequency. And when the frequency of a person's mental power oscillation is related to one of these four elements, he naturally has the ability to perceive the elements of this system.
In other words, this person is what the world calls "magically gifted".
Similarly, in the Chinese folklore of the previous life, it is said that someone is "yin and yang eyes". You can see a ghost.
Among them, nine times out of ten, or even more, should be rumors. However, it is not necessarily that there is not so much, but the ability of its eyes to receive the frequency of light waves is slightly different from that of ordinary people, so they can see things that ordinary people can't see.
In fact, the existence of "color blindness" has completely proved that there are indeed subtle differences in the function of the eyes between human beings.
And on this subtle difference, some people can see it, and some people can't see it.
The negation of the small part by the majority, the negation of the "actual" by the "conventional", the negation of the unknown by the known, and the denial of the future by the present are actually no different from the heresy of the Middle Ages.
In previous lives, the dawn of science dispelled the gloom of religion.
But when the sign of science was erected, it became the new religion for many.
This is actually very similar to the relationship between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law in ancient China. The daughter-in-law is always well-behaved, always aggrieved, and always has to be "set the rules" by the mother-in-law. But when many years later, this daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law, she ...... to the new daughter-in-law
At this time, will she still think of her grievances back then, and then be generous and tolerant to her new daughter-in-law?
No, it won't.
Because the identity has changed.
The change of identity means that the appeal for interests is no longer the same.
Religion was born for salvation and played the role of a savior, but when it walked step by step from the lower to the upper level and slowly mastered the power, it was to talk about salvation and ask for a sword.
For thousands of years in China, the same is true of the change of dynasties.
The new forces always carry the banner of "doing the right thing for heaven", but in fact, they are indeed doing the right thing for the sky. -- In the operation of human society, when the "way of man" cannot go on, the "way of heaven" will naturally kick in.
But what about after that?
Those who act for the heavens, after the day has been decided, the tripod has been obtained, and the momentum has been achieved, they will be the same as the previous forces, and there will be no essential changes.
In previous lives, with the development of the times, would science become another religion?
The answer is, yes.
Definitely!
As long as you have a slight understanding of the development of history, you will have no doubt about this.
It doesn't matter what emotion or reason is, it doesn't matter what science is and how it is defined, what matters is that it's in the hands of people. And people always represent their own interests.
The process by which a new interest class is formed and solidified, that is, the process in which it gradually changes to be no different from the previous interest class.
In the past life, in the East and the West, throughout the ages, nothing has changed.
So, in the passage of time, in the progress of the times, what has changed?
In the reflection of magic, Fang Tian fell into thought. But this thought, as he habitually picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, dissipated and returned to magic.
Oh, it's time for the magic circle.
Put the spell to spawn. Broken down, there are several factors or conditions:
First, there must be elements.
Second, there must be a medium, specifically, particles, empty water, water, earth, and further, in the terminology of the previous life, it is a variety of different types of substances,
3. Drive the elements so that they produce the corresponding motion.
For the magic array, one and two don't have to be considered. To consider, there are only three. - How can you make an element move? How can you make it move in a certain way?
To be honest, this time, the study and understanding of the magic array gave Fang Tian his understanding and understanding of the magic itself. It's also a little deeper, a little more systematic. And eventually. These two are combined. What made Fang Tian want to move was not the tens of thousands of magic arrays of Galodos, but ......
Rather, it is the various inventions and creations of the previous life.
The magic array, in the terminology of the previous life, is actually the "elemental power system".
It's a golden finger, it's a jack-of-all-trades. This is the primordial force of a social civilization system.
With it, many things from previous lives, and even more so everything, can be fulfilled in this life. And Fang Tian was the first to think of it. It's printing......
Take a piece of paper, impermeable, and pierce a hole with a needle anywhere in it, and then take another piece of paper and put it under it, and pour ink on this paper, and the ink will pass through the hole and dip into the paper underneath, forming a black spot on that paper.
Black dots can be formed, of course, you can go further, form a black line, and then go further, form a "word" composed of several black lines.
This is the printing press.
This is the "osmosis method".
Dip your finger in ink and press it on the white paper, and a large black dot will appear. If you change your finger to a willow leaf, the one printed on the paper is, of course, a willow leaf shape.
On this basis, the "seals" and "rubbings" of ancient China were born.
And then go further, engraving printing, so it was produced, and then further, the whole block of engraving from the whole to zero, into the most primitive "seal", many different "seals" together, is movable type printing.
This is the "rubbing".
In fact, the "rubbing method" and the "infiltration method" are the same, taking the same path, but the means adopted are different.
And on the basis of these two means, it is the "projection method".
This is also Fang Tian's initial conception of this world, printing.
"Fourth Elder, look. Fang Tian held the teacup in one hand and pointed to his side with the other.
Beside him, there was the big tree.
At this time, it was afternoon, and the sun hanging obliquely on the horizon cast a dappled shadow on the tree, and the breeze occasionally stirred the leaves, and some of the shadows also swayed.
"There is a clear difference between a shadow and a shadow. Is there any way to make the elements converge towards this shadowy ground, and the rest of the place, not contaminated at all? ”
"Think about it. When Galodos heard Fang Tian's words, although he didn't know what Fang Tian's intentions were, his heart was full of curiosity, and after answering, he fell into deep thought.
This method, Fang Tian has actually found it. ――
From the magic arrays that Galodos gave him, the combination changed.
Therefore, as the original owner of those magic arrays, as a true master of magic arrays, this question is not worth mentioning for Archmage Galodos. Sure enough, in only two or three minutes, Galodos said: "Little friend, you can ...... like this"
Fang Tian listened with a smile.
When Garodos finished explaining, Fang Tian said again: "Then, Fourth Elder, what about this?"
This time, Fang Tian condensed the guò water system spell in mid-air on the two of them, two "law" characters, but one of them was a standard way of writing, while the other was a little crooked.
Although it is crooked, it is undoubtedly still a "law" word.
"Even a child, as long as he is literate, he can recognize these two words. But the fourth elder, is there any way to let the magic array 'recognize' these two words? ”
This question is a further step on the question just now.
Galodos pondered again, but this time, the time of contemplation was long, and it took about a magic hour before his brows furrowed, and the other party said: "Little friend, I have thought of a few ways, it can be like this...... ...... so"
Fang Tian listened quietly, then applauded lightly, and then, in a half-joking, half-prophetic tone, smiled and said:
"Fourth Elder, in my opinion, the magic array actually represents a new civilization, a new era. ”
"Today, as a witness, I name this civilization 'Galodos Civilization', and as a promoter, I name this era 'Galodos Age'. (To be continued......)
