People's moods were very strange. Because of a few words, a change in thought, the world was different.
What was lost was lost, and this could not be changed. However, Lin also broke free from the regret of his loss.
For the rest of the journey, he sometimes hummed a tune and followed the carriage on foot. Sometimes, he took the two dogs and ran into the forest alone to hunt for extra dishes for dinner. When he began to enjoy this trip that he had not seen for three years from an optimistic point of view, the people around him were also not used to it.
Watching someone go from one extreme to another would also make people go crazy. They always felt that either the person went crazy or they went crazy. The two young apprentices were so depressed that they wanted to hit their teacher with a stick.
If it weren't for the fact that the caravan had a fixed schedule to complete, as well as the fact that they had a lot of supplies to transport to the Great Sage's Tower, they wouldn't have wasted time waiting for hitchhikers. It was as if he wanted to use another extreme method to sweep away the grievances in his heart.
Originally, such a rash action was quite dangerous for the person who was regarded as the target. But other than the attack on the first night, the rest of the journey was very quiet, as if the world had forgotten about it.
Even at night when they were camping, Lin did not pay attention to the group of cold, or perhaps fearful guards. He happily sang the tune of his hometown. Unfortunately, he did not open up the music skill tree, and his tone-deaf voice was very painful for others.
At this time, the two young apprentices looked at Lich and asked for help.
Originally, Fen did not want to continue to care about the former Tower Master's mood after he broke free from the state of being stuck in a dead end. But saying that he was in a good mood to sing was torture for her, so she had to find a way to solve it.
Although she had a problem with the broken voice, in reality, from Fen's observation, things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. At least she saw the possibility of exploring the truth of the world. And in order to guide the person in front of her, she had to talk about the problem that she had avoided before.
"Do you know what the essence of power is?"
A certain former Demon King suddenly spoke, interrupting her mood. After a while, Lin said, "Are you asking me?"
"Oh my god, how pitiful. Being able to stop you from tormenting my ears is an act of righteousness. Yes, of course, I'm talking to you. "
"Oh, it's the topic from before, right?" There was no unhappiness. Singing was an act of self-enjoyment, and Lin did not have to sing. Since Fen had brought up a topic that had piqued his interest, he naturally continued the discussion. He said: "Ever since you lamented before, I have been thinking about this question – what is the nature of authority?"
Although he didn't go as far as to sit up straight, Lin still straightened his body and looked directly at the senior who had walked further on the path of magic than he had. "Authority is an indescribable energy, a kind of wave. Through a specific medium or operating method that conforms to the rules, it can produce a certain kind of force that can affect a certain range. This is magic. "
"If that's the case, then why don't you just call it Mana or Mana? Why are you divided into 8 different authorities?"
"Hmm … This …" Lin had never thought about this. He didn't want to improvise on the spot and spout some specious nonsense. He spread out his hands, indicating that he had no solution. Finn continued, "For example, Kiel, Jiang Yan, and Danba. How are they related?"
"Hmm, it's the universal currency of the Maze World. Most countries have it. Generally speaking, the exchange rate is one Kiel for ten Jiang Yan, or two hundred Danba. The exchange rate and exchange rate vary slightly depending on the purity of the money. "
"This is the value you place on them. You regard them as similar things. But what about their essence? Are they the same? "
Isn't money just money? This was Lin's first thought. However, his ancestor had played the "white horse is not a horse" so well. If it was a fair debate, Lin might not necessarily win. If it was sophistry, if he didn't turn the Lich in front of him into dregs, it would be a waste of his time traveling from Earth.
But if he did that, he would have to risk the anger of a certain former Demon King. If he really did that, it would be his turn to be turned into dregs. There was no other result. So the possibility of sophistry was not high. Then was it a game of philosophy?
The source of all knowledge must have come from an ancestor who asked the first question since the beginning of the world, and then created a civilization.
And in the process of civilization development, people endowed things with value and meaning. It seemed beautiful and enriched the meaning of civilization, but it also concealed the essence of things.
One Kiel, which was a gold coin, was equal to ten Jiang Yan. A silver coin was equal to two hundred Danba and a copper coin. This is their value as money in this world of confusion. But gold was not silver, and of course, it was not copper. Not only were they different in color and weight, even the atomic order was different.
Before there was trade, there was no such thing as money. Gold was just gold, and silver was just silver. They were naturally different things.
And what did Fen want to say with the analogy of gold, silver, and copper coins?
At the beginning, the question was what was the essence of authority.
Why were there eight kinds of authority? And why could this kind of inexplicable thing bring about supernatural results after a certain program and arrangement?
There were many questions that became more and more unclear as the Magic Tower was remodeled. Although the Magic Tower was treated as a large circuit board, magic energy was treated as electricity, and then a program was written to computerize the Magic Tower, there were many problems that were not solved. Lin Zai had asked the question 'why' countless times in his heart.
And after obtaining the method to detect authority and defining its magnitude, Lin used this method to detect all observable objects. The magic stone that maintained balance, the consumption of magic, the original Lich's skeleton, himself, and of course, his two little apprentices.
And then, he was even more confused …
In order to perfectly preserve the authority of magic power in an object, a balanced ratio had to be maintained. But in the human body, this was not the case.
Where was the authority of magic power stored in the human body? Organs, bones, muscles, and cells could be said to be everywhere, but they were not a whole, but they were also a whole. Was it a mouthful? In fact, Lin could not come up with a better explanation at this stage.
The authority of magic power stored in different parts of the human body had their own balanced ratios, and there was even a clear emphasis. The only similarity was that there would be eight kinds of authority. There would not be only seven, six, or even fewer.
And the most interesting part was that when magic was used, the amount of authority consumed by magic was not equal to the amount consumed by the user. In other words, during the process of casting magic, there would be entropy, which was different from the situation of casting magic in the Magic Tower.
The amount of authority of magic power consumed by the Magic Tower would produce a corresponding amount of power. And any additional loss could be found during the process. For example, the magic channel was long, and the switching between magic arrays was delayed, and the switching between different functions had to go through the process of closing and reopening. Although the time was so short that it was undetectable, it did indeed cause additional consumption.
This was most obvious when he was making Fen's exclusive weapons, the four guns. Considering the problem of interference between the miniature magic arrays, he tried many ideas, including knowledge from Earth and magical knowledge from the Land of Confusion, but there was still no gratifying improvement in the efficiency of energy conversion.
If there was any improvement, it was from the situation where he fell after eight shots to being able to shoot nine shots and still be conscious. However, Marco Lin did not dare to fire the tenth shot. The feeling of having his authority and authority drained was too terrible, and he did not want to experience it again.
However, these problems did not seem to be a problem for the Lich who had a lot of secrets. Without the use of magic stones, and using only his own authority and authority as the source of energy, the number of shots Fen could fire was … unknown?
The trigger of the gun was still kept. After all, this was the most direct way to determine the accuracy of the shot. And Fen was using two guns. She held the trigger and fired continuously for about thirty minutes. As if she was crazy, she fired about thirty thousand shots in one shot, and the two guns had a total of sixty thousand shots. The young lady's patience was running out, and she did not intend to test the limit.
At first, Lin thought that it was because of the difference in the accumulation of authority and authority between the two of them. After all, the young lady was an immortal Lich who had created the Dark Age for two or three hundred years and ruled over the world for more than half of the Dark Age. In terms of age, he was not even a fraction of the young lady's age.
Now that he thought about it carefully, perhaps it was not just the difference in accumulation, but also the difference in authority and authority between the two of them. In fact …
"Power and authority are different things?"
"Oh, your thoughts are jumping really fast. I just asked a question, and you already thought of this. "Fen looked at the man in front of her with admiration. She said, "Although it's not entirely correct, you have indeed crossed a threshold."
With such a clear hint, Lin gradually understood the nature of the eight authorities and what they might be.
Taking an example similar to Earth, there was no doubt that the most important thing in modern society on Earth was electricity. However, there were many sources of electricity, whether it was wind power, water power, solar power, or traditional firepower and nuclear power. Most of them were still in the experimental stage of geothermal and tidal power.
There were various sources, and it was not reasonable to simply use the number of kilowatts of electricity generated. Because the energy produced by the complete fission of one kilogram of uranium-235 was equivalent to the energy released by the complete combustion of two thousand five hundred tons of coal, so the same weight of uranium was worth two and a half million times of coal …?
Let's not talk about the theoretical value and the actual energy conversion efficiency. Coal could not be made into an atomic bomb …
