Chapter 2756 Inanna's Doubts

For the next two weeks, Joan stayed with her daughter in the lair, taught Inanna how to learn spells, and chatted with her to relieve boredom.

After getting along day and night during this period, Inanna knew that she was not her biological mother, and her feelings for her became closer than before.

Apart from giving advice to her daughter, Joan herself was not idle, studying spells and consulting literature as usual.

During this period of time, the topic she was most interested in was "Spellcasting and Material Reduction". She collected hundreds of related papers and learned what research the academic community has carried out on this topic.

After reading it, I have gained a lot, but I also have regrets.

Joan really wants to know, what kind of sparks will collide with "casting without materials" and deformation spells?

It is not that there are no related literatures, but the entry points do not meet his expectations, and they only focus on specific problems, lacking systematic macro research.

Since the work of his predecessors and colleagues couldn't satisfy him, Qiao An started to think of self-reliance, but he needed to make great efforts to prepare for turning the flash of ideas into solid scientific research projects, such as collecting data, design experiments.

Inanna is like a "little tail", spinning around behind her mother's buttocks all day long. Joan is sorting out documents in the study and fiddling with instruments in the laboratory. assistant.

What surprised Joan even more was that when Inanna was chatting with him at the dinner table one day, she talked endlessly about the society and ecology of the beholder clan, especially the elaboration on the physiological structure of beholders and the principle of supernatural floating. The more An heard it, the more familiar it became.

"My lord, do you know? The talent of our beholders to adjust the flight angle and speed by spraying gas through the fine holes all over the body has greatly inspired scholars in the human world. It is precisely by observing the flying methods of our beholders that Humans have created a magical device called 'Vector Booster Engine', combined with the 'Levitation Technique', they can push heavy steel structures into the sky and fly freely!"

Qiao An was stunned for a while before recovering, and quickly asked her daughter, "Where did you learn this knowledge? Could it be the genetic experience you gained after awakening the potential of your bloodline?"

"Of course not! My biological mother and ancestors all harbored deep-rooted arrogance and prejudice, and dismissed the ever-changing magic technology in the surface world. How could they pass on such knowledge to me?"

The eyes of the young nest mother sighed regretfully, and longing appeared in her eyes.

"Mother, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't know why, the more I understand the civilization and progress of the surface world, the more interested I am in human society. If I have the opportunity in the future, can I become a human being and go to the surface world to travel and live?" a period of time?"

"Of course there is no problem. As long as you pay attention to safety and protect yourself, you can go to study wherever you want, but Inanna, you haven't answered the question just now."

Joan became more and more curious about her daughter's source of knowledge.

"My lord, that's the conclusion I got from an authoritative paper on the ecology of beholders."

Inanna replied with a smile.

"...What thesis is?"

Joan had a vague premonition.

"A full-score article published in the spring issue of Alpha Exploration, "Introduction to the Society and Ecology of Beholders."

Inanna answered frankly.

Joan's heart skipped a beat, as expected!

"Inanna, where did you read this article?"

"The literature library on the cloud network, the online pre-print version of "Exploration of Arcane Law", provides free previews, and you can read the full text for a small amount of money!"

Inanna smiled smugly, as if she had discovered some secret treasure.

"...It's really you, Inanna! I learned to look up documents on the Internet at a young age!" Joan couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's all thanks to your mother's cultivation! Thanks to you for inspiring my interest in scientific research and helping me open a cloud network account!"

Inanna looked at her adoptive mother with sincere gratitude in her large eyes.

"..."

The corner of Joan's mouth twitched slightly, speechless for a moment.

There's an old saying about "lifting a rock"...how come?

"My lord, the paper published in "Exploration of Arcana" is very interesting. It can be seen that although the author of the paper is a human being, he has a deep understanding of us beholders. The fly in the ointment is that it is too general. , after all, it’s just an introduction, in fact, there are many topics mentioned in the article, which are worthy of in-depth discussion.”

Inanna said excitedly.

Qiao An listened to her daughter's eloquent talk, and the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she had a vague sense of déjà vu, so she tentatively asked, "Inanna, do you want to follow up on that article and do related follow-up research?"

"Is it not possible?" Inanna asked nervously.

"Yes, yes, this is a routine interaction in the academic circle, but..."

Joan originally wanted to say, as a majestic beholder princess, why do you want to meddle in human scientific research?

But when I thought about it, my attitude was ridiculous.

Allow you humans to study beholders, but don't you allow beholders to stand up and clarify some biased views about their own race? Didn't this become a typical schoolboy style.

Then I thought that the introduction that aroused Inanna's scientific research interest was precisely written by herself. If Inanna, after citing her own paper, criticized it mercilessly and carried the banner of "down with reactionary academic authority", wouldn't it be It's not that the flood washed the river temple!

The more Joan thought about it, the more inexplicably sour she felt.

"Master! Can my daughter do the research she is interested in?" Inanna asked hopefully.

"Of course." Joan replied boldly.

"Then after I finish writing the paper, can you review it for me and submit it for me by the way?"

"It's a bit..." Qiao An couldn't help showing embarrassment.

"Isn't it possible?" Inanna lowered her eyes in disappointment and muttered to herself, "Journals created by humans really don't accept articles submitted by non-human beings..."

"No such thing!" Joan had to say something fair for his peers and editors, "Journals only look at the quality of papers, and don't care about the author's background. If you work in an institution, it will be more convenient to publish papers, even if you don’t have these conditions, it doesn’t matter, it’s the same for me to ask human friends to help you submit papers.”

"Okay! Thank you, Mother!"

Inanna waved her eye stems excitedly, circling in the air.

"Mother is amazing! It would be even better if your human friend knew Dr. Vader!"

"Oh... what do you think?" Qiao An suddenly became vigilant.

"If your friend knows the author of "Introduction to Ecology and Society of Beholders", Dr. Joan Vida from Colosseum University, mother, can you ask that doctor for me, what exactly did he use? What method did you get so much private information about the beholder clan!"

Inanna said excitedly.

Ask for a monthly pass!
