Chapter 144 The Scientific View of Magic
The faces of the seven magisters all sank.
What is magic?
This kind of question has always been asked by magicians when they teach laymen who have never been exposed to magic, or have no understanding of magic at all, but now Xu Yi asked them these seven people in the world of magicians. It can be said that the magisters in the top position are tantamount to humiliating face to face.
They originally thought that Xu Yi showed up to summon them, and they should have a truce in mind, and wanted to discuss specific measures with them, the magisters who represent all the magicians belonging to the two empires, but they didn't expect Xu Yi to come together. Just opening their mouths to say such a sentence immediately made them feel unhappy.
If it weren't for the scruples on the current situation on the battlefield, the seven magisters would have walked away without saying a word.
"President Xu, what do you mean?" a magister from the Maro Empire asked coldly. "Don't think that your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has mastered some small tricks, so you can be so rampant."
"Small means?" Xu Yi laughed. "Everyone, if you still hold this idea until now, then I can only express my disappointment."
"Okay, President Xu, if you have something to say, just say it directly, you don't need to beat around the bush." Another magister from the Maro Empire shook his hand impatiently. "I admit that with the current situation, even if we magisters go together, we can't help you Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but you don't have to humiliate us like this, it's meaningless."
The expressions on the faces of the Magisters of the Maro Empire were extremely ugly, but the expressions of the three Magisters of the Candela Empire were gloomy at first, but now they all looked thoughtful and did not join in the reprimand of Xu Yi.
"Do you think this is a humiliation?" Xu Yi shrugged. "I don't think I'm actually asking you this question very seriously. The understanding of magic is related to the real gap between you and our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's current magic research. If you don't understand this, I'm afraid Never know why we can easily repel all your mages including the magisters without even sending out the mages."
All the magisters were silent.
Whether they want to admit it or not, the fact is that in these countless battles. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has managed to defeat the magisters without using magicians, and even directly lost several magisters.
Such a thing did not happen even in the most intense period of the race war three thousand years ago.
The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce undoubtedly has abilities that even magisters like them cannot understand, so that they are helpless.
So no matter how arrogant Xu Yi said. They also have no ability to refute.
Strength is the foundation of all discourse.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has this strength, Xu Yi certainly has the qualifications to say these words.
After a long while of silence, a magister from the Candela Empire sighed and said, "Okay. President Xu, although I don't understand your purpose. But since you have serious discussions, I'll share my opinion. Yes. Speaking of what magic is... I don’t care what other magicians think. In my opinion, the so-called magic is just a manifestation of magicians using magic power to control magic elements to form various forms. Well, what do you think?"
The other six magisters nodded in unison.
Magic has existed on the continent of Sainz for more than tens of thousands of years, and even humans, a relatively young race, have mastered it for more than three thousand years.
After so many years of evolution, no one doubts that such a unified concept has already been formed for the basic concept of magic.
Although each magician has some differences in understanding of magic. Contains his own unique views, but this most basic concept is something that no magician would deny, and it has become an axiom on the continent of Sainz.
Now that the magister of the Candela Empire has come up with the most standard and impeccable answer, everyone wants to see what different opinions Xu Yi can come up with.
"Well, I admit, this view of magic is not wrong..."
Xu Yi's first words disappointed all the magisters.
"However, this view is too shallow and too general, and has no practical significance at all. The so-called magician uses magic power to control magic elements. How is the magician's magic power generated? During the generation process, it will produce What change? The so-called use of magic power to control magic elements. How to control it? How much should the speed and quantity of magic elements be controlled? As for the formation of various forms, what about the specific data of this form? For example, the most basic shape , volume and deeper density, vibration frequency, resonance strength and other data should be achieved? If you don't know these..."
If the first half of what Xu Yi said was barely understood by everyone, then the second half of what he said could only be understood inexplicably and at a loss.
What is density, vibration frequency, resonance strength... What is this mess?
"Wait. President Xu, what are you talking about?" A magister from the Maro Empire had to interrupt Xu Yi. "What do you mean by all these things?"
Xu Yi glanced at everyone, sighed, shook his head and said, "Sure enough, none of you have read the "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly" published by our chamber of commerce."
All the magisters looked at each other with embarrassing expressions on their faces.
In fact, since the rise of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. These magisters also pay more or less attention.
However, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is mainly famous for all kinds of magic machines, and in the eyes of these magisters who stand at the top of magicians, the so-called magic machines are nothing more than some clever magic props. Even if the design is clever, it is difficult to be elegant Tang, naturally they will not look down on them.
As for the "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly", which is mainly related to magic machinery, of course no one will pay attention to it.
"If you have read "Xinfei Magic Industry Weekly", you will have some ideas about what I said. What I just said is not a strange thing, but based on our chamber of commerce's continuous research on magic over the years The basic concepts of a whole set of theories that are derived. I call it ... the basics of magic science."
"Basics of magic science?" The seven magisters frowned.
Of course they know magic, but what is science?
They have never heard of the term that popped out of Xu Yi's mouth before, and it is likely that it has never appeared in Sainz's lingua franca.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xu Yi was a little helpless.
That's right, after looking through all the languages on Sainz's continent, there is no term "science", so this is completely transliterated by Xu Yi directly, which is equivalent to creating a new term.
He could only continue to briefly explain the meaning of the term "science" to everyone.
After listening, everyone was even more inexplicable.
"President Xu, according to what you said, science is to subdivide and classify knowledge, and then study each classification thoroughly, and finally combine them, so as to fully master this knowledge. Then magic is on the continent of Sainz It has been studied by countless magicians for tens of thousands of years, isn't it detailed and thorough enough?"
"From the point of view you just mentioned, it is indeed detailed and thorough enough, but from my point of view, it is far from enough. For example, what surprised me the most is that the history of magic research in Sainz continent It's been so long, and no magician has conducted a truly in-depth study of the magic element itself. You know, the magic element is the foundation of all magic."
The seven magisters looked at each other, still not understanding what Xu Yi meant.
Xu Yi couldn't help sighing, knowing that it was impossible for the seven magisters to understand what the so-called scientific viewpoints meant by relying on language alone in such a short period of time.
The reason why the magicians on the Sainz continent have studied magic for tens of thousands of years, but still haven’t figured out many problems, is that the magicians on the Sainz continent have always regarded magic as a job, so Their research direction is just how to make better use of magic elements to create more powerful magic and use these magic better.
In terms of classification on Earth, the magic research on the Sainz continent is completely biased towards the field of applied magic, and it is still a more biased field of applied magic that focuses on the lethality of magic. Naturally, there is not much research on the field of real theoretical magic. .
Although the magic machinery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be regarded as part of the field of applied magic, but because Xu Yi traveled from the earth and is a senior mechanical engineer deeply influenced by science, naturally he has been interested in researching magic and magic from the very beginning. Magic Mechanics has a scientific attitude.
In the twenty years since the establishment of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yi's request for the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has always been to let them study and understand how to use magic better, and more importantly, to know why it is so.
To put it simply, it is to know what it is and why it is.
It is precisely because of this requirement that the researchers of the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will gradually develop a complete scientific view of magic as long as they spend more time in the Magic Research Institute, so as to have a more profound and precise understanding of magic. Understand, so it can greatly improve the level of magic.
As their leader and leader, Xu Yi naturally has the deepest understanding of magic and the fastest improvement in magic level.
Otherwise, according to the traditional concept on Sainz's mainland, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Yi to become a magister in his early forties.
But these things are simply explained to the seven magisters who have engraved traditional magic concepts in their bones, and they will never understand.
So Xu Yi thought about it and decided to do a small experiment. (~^~)
