Waveshift led everyone deep into the forest, walking for about five kilometers before arriving at a lake.
There was a small wooden house by the lake, and there were traces of camping nearby, presumably other groups had already been here.
A large silver box had already been placed here in advance. The instructor walked up and opened it, and everyone saw that it contained gems smaller than a fingernail.
The red gems were dazzling, held in layers of soft boards. Wouldn't this box contain more than 20,000 gems?
"This is Taaffeite, two carats per person, come and get it yourself" Waveshift said.
Everyone was dumbfounded and took turns to get it. Someone who knew the goods held the two gems and exclaimed: "Is this really Taaffeite? Why are there so many? "
Taaffeite was quite rare, and there were no more than 20 publicly resold in the world. Among natural colored gems, it was considered the rarest.
Very quickly, each person received two of the twenty pills in the entire world. In total, more than four hundred pills had been given out.
And there were still many hexagonal gems left in Waveshift's box.
"Yes, it's Taaffeite. Although it's rare, it's not as rare as you think. The reason why there are only 20 gems in circulation in the world is because all the Taaffeite in the world is in the Blue and White Society, so it's so rare on the market "Waveshift calmly explained.
Everyone was speechless. The Taaffeite that monopolized 99% of the world's gems was rare.
Let alone Taaffeite, even if it was diamonds, such a monopoly would be extremely rare.
But why? Why would the Taaffeite be concentrated in the Blue and White Society?
Mo Qiong held the two Taaffeites that weren't even as big as his pinky and already had a guess.
Sure enough, Waveshift said: "It can strengthen your talents, allowing you to improve by leaps and bounds in a certain period of time no matter what you train"
Although they already had their guesses, they were still shocked to hear the instructor say that.
"Is this an anomaly?" someone asked in surprise.
Many people knew that the society would strengthen everyone's talents, allowing them to train to an extremely strong level in a short period of time.
And no matter how they thought about it, it was definitely an anomaly, but the instructor said it was Taaffeite. Didn't that mean that this thing that was worth tens of thousands of US dollars on the international market was an anomaly?
Waveshift shook his head: "It's not an anomaly, it's just one of the necessary materials for black technology strengthening"
"Advanced technology?" Many people did not know what the instructor meant by advanced technology.
According to conventional understanding, black technology refers to science and technology or products that are far beyond the scope of current human knowledge, lack the current scientific basis, and violate the principles of nature.
However, Mo Qiong had heard people talk about black technology on Meng Island. In the Blue and White Society, they had their own unique understanding of black technology. It also had another name: Universal Anomaly Characteristic.
"The Taaffeite itself isn't an anomaly, but its usage?" Mo Qiong asked.
Wabei snapped his fingers and smiled at Mo Qiong. "You're right. The technology I'm going to teach you today can be considered an abnormal characteristic. However, the material it requires, the Taaffeite itself, is just a stone. It can be said that a substance with a structure like Taaffeite is a condition for triggering a certain universal characteristic. "
Mo Qiong already understood, but there were still many people who did not.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Waveshift chuckled. "I know many of you still don't know what the supernatural is. As for the definition of anomalies, I'm sure you guys are very vague, right? "
"Perhaps in the Blue and White Society, you often hear about supernatural, abnormal characteristics, subverting the principles of science, violating the laws of nature. Perhaps, you might even vaguely think that these terms all refer to the same situation. "
"Today, I'll first explain the definition of supernatural to you guys."
Everyone knew that it was finally time to teach them something, but it would start from the basics of cognition.
"You guys should first distinguish whether this is supernatural or not." Waveshift said and suddenly squeezed into the crowd.
Everyone was neatly lined up and was immediately thrown into chaos. Everyone hurriedly moved aside, only to find that the instructor was gone …
In the blink of an eye, the instructor disappeared into the crowd.
Mo Qiong opened his eyes wide and looked at everyone one by one, but found that none of them was the instructor. He looked outside the crowd and even looked up at the sky, but still could not find where the instructor was hiding.
"Where is he?"
"Is he invisible? Or burrowing? " Mo Qiong was not the only one looking, everyone was looking as well, but the instructor seemed to have evaporated, there was not a trace of him.
Suddenly, Waveshift's voice came from the crowd. "He's neither invisible nor burrowing. It's just that I'm standing in front of you, yet you can't notice me. "
"F * ck!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the instructor was in the crowd. Now that he spoke, everyone immediately noticed him.
The few people beside the instructor were even more shocked. They had been looking around for a long time but could not find him. Now, they suddenly found the instructor talking to them. It was extremely shocking.
Waveshift walked out of the crowd and said to everyone, "Then, who can tell me if this concealment is supernatural or not?"
"Of course it is," a few people immediately said.
However, there were also some shrewd people who felt that since the instructor asked, it was very likely that it was not. Hence, they replied, "No, it's not supernatural."
Waveshift smiled and pointed at someone who said no. "You're quite the show-off! Come, come, come … "
"Come up and tell me why it's not supernatural."
That person's expression turned awkward. He coughed and braced himself to walk out of the crowd. "Uh … this … I feel like this can be achieved by science? For example, optical invisibility? "
"I said it's not invisibility. You just ignored me. If you used a camera just now, you could easily find me walking slowly in the crowd," said Waveshift.
"Alright, then it's supernatural" that person said.
Waveshift shook his head: "No, it's not supernatural. It's a type of black technology, called 'Assassin's Footwork' by the society. If you can master this technique and walk at a certain frequency, you'll be able to make the people around you ignore your existence. "
"There's such a technique?" everyone was shocked.
Waveshift smiled: "It's called a technique, but that's only to make it easier for you to understand. It's actually an anomaly that goes against the principles of science, but it's not supernatural.
"Whether or not it goes against the principles of science isn't the standard to determine whether or not an anomaly is supernatural. Even if an anomaly angered Newton to the point of flipping over his coffin, as long as we create something similar that can flip over Newton's coffin, it would be natural. This means that the anomaly isn't supernatural, but rather something that can be used for all purposes "Wang Zhong said.
"The definition of supernatural is to surpass nature itself. How should I put it? If I can do it, you can do it as well, that's natural. On the other hand, if the same thing happens under the same conditions, but I can achieve one result, while you all can achieve the other, it means that I'm supernatural.
"The majority of anomalies look the same as normal objects, even their physical structure is very normal. Some of them are found in nature, while others are directly created in a workshop.
"If we use the same material, the same conditions, and the same structure, we can perfectly recreate a glass sphere. If the replica has the same characteristics, no matter how inexplicable it is, it can at least be recreated. It can be artificially created, and it can be derived according to its laws. No matter how ridiculous the laws are, to the point where it contradicts common sense, it can still be called black technology.
"On the other hand, even if we artificially create billions of identical glass spheres, they'll all be normal glass spheres, and the abnormal glass sphere from before will be a supernatural anomaly.
"Countless' 1 + 1's equal to 2, but if there's only one '1 + 1', it'll be equal to '4 and 1/3'. Then '4 and 1/3' of '1 + 1' will be supernatural. "
