"Isn't it a novelty that the artifact ship originating from the Danu Sea Temple can walk in the sea?" said to the Dawn and the others without showing off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This ...... Isn't it just a submarine!" Kevin was silent for a moment, then asked with some uncertainty.

"Submarine?" said Xiang Xiang was a little dazed.

"Terran societies in the outside world have long been able to travel to the bottom of the sea through the power of technology, and submarines are a general term for this type of equipment. Chenxi roughly explained the principle of the submarine to Xiang Xiang, and the old man couldn't help but have a very surprised expression on his face.

"The power of technology, it seems to be a simplified version of alchemy and pharmacy to hear what you say!" said Xiang Xiang with some uncertainty.

"The scientific and technological level of modern human society is indeed only in its infancy, and the analysis of basic substances still exists in the pure particle stage. Because with the existing instruments and equipment, they cannot observe the elementary particles of the universe, which they call 'dark matter', so their overall level is still far from the ancient civilization!"

"What, is technology and magic the same system?" said Guna with surprise when she heard this, in the eyes of many people, technology and magic are two systems that are incompatible. But from the meaning of the dawn, she heard something different.

"You don't know much about ancient civilizations, so it's not surprising that you have doubts. Dawn responded with a smile, he himself was still very satisfied with the current team, so he didn't mind conveying some of the knowledge he had gained from Bai Ze to everyone, "The theoretical system of magical civilization is now generally called occultism, and its original definition is the science of recognizing and analyzing the secrets of the world. This is almost the same as the definition of science, both of which try to analyze the laws of the world in their own way, and hope to strengthen themselves with it. ”

Kevin nodded when he heard this, and even Gu Xiang couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

"The only difference between the two is in the research methods. Chenxi saw that everyone thought for a moment, and then added: "In ancient times, the universe was still in the expansion stage, and although the area and scale were smaller than now, the density was much larger than now. High density also represents a more active particle response, which is reflected in the fact that the world is full of spiritual power, and natural elements are easier to explore and perceive. Therefore, the magical civilization does not pay much attention to discovering and analyzing the composition of basic elements, but focuses on the use of elemental particle energy. ”

"What about modern technology?" To Chenxi's surprise, the first person to ask was Xiang Xiang. He had been closed in the divine realm for thousands of years, and this was the first time he had heard the term technology. He was intrigued by this kind of knowledge, which allowed ordinary people to control the power of nature.

"Since the Middle Ages, the expansion of the universe has gradually slowed down, and the scale of the universe has expanded almost to the extreme. This was followed by a decrease in the density of the universe and the inertization of elemental particles. Manifested in external nature is the depletion of natural spiritual power, especially in modern times, it is impossible to perceive the existence of natural elemental particles by practicing oneself through traditional cultivation methods like in ancient times. Chenxi sighed, "So the magic civilization can be regarded as a complete stranger, which is also the origin of the end of the law catastrophe. ”

As she spoke, Chenxi casually threw out an ordinary fire talisman, and the rune paper burned in the wind, levitating in front of everyone like a small lantern.

"Fire is the most basic manifestation of natural elements in the release of their own energy, what we commonly call fire is the energy release phenomenon produced when the structure of oxygen molecules and hydrogen molecules in the air is destroyed and recombined, which is called combustion phenomenon in scientific terms. Dawn pointed to the small fireball in front of her and explained, "Therefore, understanding the essence of fire is a basic discipline common to magical civilization or technological civilization. For example, many magic apprentices started with a small fireball, and countless human scientists also started with a small oxygen combustion experiment. ”

"What's the difference?" asked Guna weakly, realizing that the peer in front of her was indeed a little unusual. She had heard the rumors of the Great Tribulation of the End of the Law before, and she also knew the fact that her natural spiritual power was depleting day by day, but she had never known what the basic principle was, and it was only now that she had a sudden sense of enlightenment.

"In essence, fire is more of a phenomenon than an element, but in the occult world, this similar phenomenon of energy release has been referred to by default as the element of fire. Fire is the energy released when the elemental particle structure is destroyed, so the more stable the damaged elemental particle structure, the greater the energy released. Dawn stretched out her fingers and gently controlled the fireball in front of her to constantly change shape, "In a magical civilization, a person's level of knowledge of the fire element can also directly reflect the person's mastery of the laws of nature. In our Kyushu, there is a saying that the true fire of samadhi is a sign that a practitioner has entered the stage of golden immortals. Fire in the air, fire in wood, and fire in stone represent different stages of the cognition of flame. ”

"In the air, in the wood, in the stone, what does that mean?" Kevin chimed in.

"It represents different material densities and stability. As we all know, the more stable the element is, the more stable the material structure is, so under normal conditions, liquids are more stable than gases, and solids are more stable than liquids. Let's take the example of iron, the most common type of metal, once the structure of iron is destroyed, it releases several times more energy when it burns than when oxygen burns. ”

"No matter how iron burns, it can't burn even if it turns into molten iron!"

"No, that's what you can't do to grind the iron fine enough to meet the standards of a secular social laboratory. At this time, the stability of the iron molecule has been reduced to the lowest point, and such iron can not only burn, but also release several times the temperature of ordinary flames. Dawn smiled slightly, "Solid elemental particles burn, this is one of the places where magic and technology have in common, and their essence is the same. ”

"Modern technology, because it is no longer possible to parse elemental particles as easily as in ancient times. So the Terrans had to learn about them in a more sophisticated way. In modern science, materials science, molecular chemistry and quantum physics, which represent the future, are all aimed at better knowing, understanding and using natural elements. It's just that we can no longer easily manipulate these elemental particles just by enhancing our own perception like ancient cultivators, but can only rely on the ever-increasing external equipment!" Chen Xi let out a long breath softly, "So we are very lucky to be here, no matter what kind of chance, we are fortunate to become a cultivator in this era of the end of the law, which is almost impossible!"
