Since he wouldn't be able to catch up to the others, Wang Zhong decided to take a leave of absence. After eating a good meal, he went to find Old Potter. He planned to strike while the iron was hot and experience the so-called explorers' base. Frankly speaking, as a member of the Federation, he was filled with yearning towards the frontlines, especially since it was the place where Teacher Grace had fought.
Compared to Aioros and Mu Zi, his understanding of the hyperdimension was pitifully lacking. If he wanted more information, he would have to go to Copperfield's library and find Old Potter.
Wang Zhong could be considered an old acquaintance of Old Potter's laboratory. Upon arriving at the library, he saw Old Potter talking to Luo Er.
"Wang Zhong, you've come at the right time. Hurry up and come over …" Upon seeing Wang Zhong, Old Potter immediately abandoned his adorable granddaughter and warmly pulled Wang Zhong over.
"Grandfather, I'm talking to you about something." Luo Er called out in dissatisfaction. She had something very important to discuss with her grandfather.
"If you have something to say, we can talk about it later. You have plenty of time. Wang Zhong, come come, I have a new idea. Help me look it over. Yes, it's about higher dimensional life forms …"
Luo Er gawked. What did he mean by she had plenty of time? Did he mean that Wang Zhong's time was more precious than hers? However, when she saw Wang Zhong being forcefully pulled into the laboratory by her grandfather, she didn't know why, but she couldn't bring herself to be angry at all. Wang Zhong, I'm not done with you!
Wang Zhong only had enough time to give Luo Er an apologetic smile before being dragged into the laboratory by Old Potter.
Old Potter was rather excited. "After chatting with you last time, I've updated my understanding of the existence of higher dimensional life forms. With a new standard, I've conducted new research on the basic existence of higher dimensional life forms. You know, the basic existence of life on Earth is water, and the basic unit is the cell. In summary, it's a protein type life form."
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Wang Zhong, who was listening attentively. This made him even more excited. "All along, our research on higher dimensional life forms has been based on this theory. However, there hasn't been much progress, or perhaps it could be said that we've taken the wrong path. It was only a few days ago, after chatting with you, that I discovered that our definition of life is too narrow. The existence of life runes allows all elements to have the possibility of becoming life. Not just water, rocks, soil, trees, even wind, air … it's the infusion of consciousness. Naturally, the prerequisite is that they exist in the hyperdimension or higher."
The more Old Potter spoke, the more excited he became. He had found a treasure that he might not be able to fully research in his entire life. Moreover, it was different from the previous times when he couldn't find the core of the treasure. This time, he knew where the key to the treasure was. What he wanted to do was to create a master key that could open the treasure!
Wang Zhong was moved by Old Potter's words. In fact, he had a faint feeling that Simba, who had descended with the Fate Stone, didn't belong to the hyperdimension. Instead, he was a life form from a higher dimension. From Simba's performance, his learning ability, innate talent, and intelligence far surpassed that of humans. Although it couldn't be said that he was a life form from a higher dimension, at the very least, it reflected one aspect.
Yet, Old Potter was able to come up with such a conjecture without any basis and was extremely certain of it. Frankly speaking, scientific fanatics were extremely frightening. It was no wonder that they were the root cause of mankind's change in history.
Just like that, an old man and a young man revolved around this new theory, engaging in an intense discussion within the room. This new theory had a high possibility of allowing mankind's understanding of life runes to reach a whole new level. From there, the current miscellaneous and complicated application of dimensional runes would be upgraded to a dual layer application that focused on life runes.
In Old Potter's imagination, the two would form a double helix DNA structure. This would be a brand new domain of life, a genuine domain of gods!
In the past, mankind had believed that grasping the complete cloning technology would make them gods. However, from the looks of it now, this was a one-sided view. It was a laughable view of the sky from the bottom of a well. It couldn't be said that they were wrong. It was just that in a limited environment, one could only obtain limited 'facts'.
"This theory still has many imperfections. For example, it's still unable to explain whether life is a rune, or a higher dimensional life form. In other words, is the essence of the soul created by runes?"
"You mean to say that the human DNA sequence is actually considered a low-end life rune?"
Sometimes, an old man and a young man would ask questions together, while at other times, they would answer together. Most of the time, their answers might not be the same question, but they were able to inspire each other. This was the realm of research. Old Potter had never dreamt that there would be a day when he would become close friends with a 'little brat'.
"That's a clever use of words. Low-end runes, that's right!"
Old Potter continued to raise his doubts to Wang Zhong. It had to be said that Wang Zhong would always break through his doubts from points that he would never have imagined even if he were to break his head. There were many times when Wang Zhong would lead to even more questions. However, this was precisely the point that made Old Potter wild with joy. In science, one should never be afraid of the 'why'. That was because discovering more unknowns was the fundamental method that science used to solve problems. Old Potter had been bound by many 'truths', while Wang Zhong clearly possessed the spirit to break through. It was unimaginable that a place like Tianjing would actually give birth to such a genius with such unconstrained thinking.
"Runes and runes. That's the essence of the conversion of words. Chatting with you is truly refreshing."
Wang Zhong smiled. "Dean, if you're praising me like that, why don't you give me something practical?"
Old Potter was tickled by Wang Zhong's' practicality ', causing him to burst into laughter. "I knew that you would definitely have a motive for taking the initiative to find me. You've been searching for information about the hyperdimension for the past few days. Is it because you want to understand the matters regarding the frontlines and the explorers' bases?"
Old Potter was extremely sharp, but he had been waiting for Wang Zhong to speak his mind. He did not wish for Wang Zhong to focus his attention on the frontlines, or those matters of fighting and killing, as it would easily attract the attention of youths. It wasn't that Old Potter did not respect soldiers, but from a practical and historical point of view, the people who truly made the most outstanding and influential contributions to mankind would never be the soldiers who bled on the frontlines. Only when soldiers were a whole, would they be the incomparable Great Wall and sharp sword of mankind. A single soldier was just like a single cell. It wasn't that they weren't important, but that there was a fundamental difference between their existence and a brain.
As for Wang Zhong, he had the potential to become a brain. Nevertheless, Old Potter wasn't anxious. A melon that was forcefully picked wouldn't be sweet. Furthermore, would a Wang Zhong who was restricted and unable to advance in the direction of his passion still be Wang Zhong?
It would be better to let this youngster go out and try his luck. Once he had enough of it, he would sooner or later return to a position that was most suitable for him to display his abilities, and would be able to make the most outstanding contribution to mankind. Just like Glenn Grasso in the past, there were very few people who knew of his dark history. That great scientist who had changed the fate of mankind had wanted to become a soldier from the very beginning.
