Chapter 19 The Secret of Evolution
Shadra put away the dishes, walked out of the kitchen, and sat next to Lei Luo.
Putting away the books he had read in the morning, Shadra took out a quill and an empty piece of paper and sketched on them.
“Although there are countless small categories of academic research in modern natural sciences, in terms of large academic directions, they can be divided into six.”
For the first time, he truly came into contact with modern natural science knowledge. Lei Luo listened carefully to Shaduo Luo's explanation, took out the Ice Firebird Notes given by Master Lianyi, and carefully recorded it.
"The first is to study basic mathematics and deduce the laws of nature. The second is to study natural specimens and deduce the secrets of evolution. Then there is the mystery of human potential, the field of spiritual power, alchemy and practical technology. The research of each major principality focuses on various aspects. It’s different.”
Listening to Shadra's explanation, Lei Luo combined some of the information mentioned in "The Mystery of Evolution" with deep thought.
Shadra continued: "Among the six major academies, scholars who study the laws of nature and the mysteries of evolution are the most numerous. Whether it is the pioneer Gauss Adolf who studies the cornerstone of mathematics, or the pioneer Antonio who studies the mysteries of evolution, they have provided insights for future generations of scholars. It has a very advanced theoretical foundation, and as a result a large number of senior scholars have been born.”
One of the three great pioneers in human history was burned to death by the church. It is easy to imagine the status of the remaining two pioneers in the hearts of many scholars.
I just don’t know why there is an academic book called "Evolution of Secrets" in my family inheritance?
As far as Lei Luo knew, the author of this book was Antonio and it was published by the Gran Academy of Nature. It had a circulation of tens of thousands of copies. There was nothing special about the volume in his hand.
Could it be that his ancestors had some relationship with Antonio's pioneer?
After a pause, Shadra continued: "However, in recent years, the strength of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Principality of Barda has been rising steadily. It has recruited a large number of students and has produced many geniuses. I heard from the instructor that the human history is likely to be born there. The fourth pioneer, so I suggest that your research direction, junior brother, should be chosen from three directions: the laws of nature, the secrets of evolution, and the potential of the human body."
Being watched by Shadra, Lei Luo seriously thought about his future development direction.
The laws of nature are undoubtedly the concept of elemental magicians in my traditional understanding. The way of learning and growth is derived from the cornerstone of mathematics. The secret of evolution is somewhat similar to the art of transformation, and the direction of growth is derived from the anatomy of specimens.
As for the study of the human body's potential, could it be a magician's version of a samurai?
"Senior brother, which college was the pioneer who published "Heliocentric Theory" born in, and what academic secrets did he study?"
"Shh!"
Hearing Lei Luo suddenly ask about this matter, Shadra made a silent gesture.
"Junior brother, try not to mention this matter again in the future, so as not to offend the church! Because of this matter, the powerful Utolan Academy of Natural Sciences was suppressed by the church, and the royal family was also monitored by the church. Now it has become one of the six major academies. The weakest."
Although he said this, Shadra whispered: "Pioneer Bai Nivens was born in the Utolan Academy of Natural Sciences and studied cosmic astronomy. Unfortunately, since that incident, the research of this great pioneer has All of them have been banned by the church along with his "Heliocentric Theory" and have been completely lost..."
"ah!"
Lei Luo nodded cautiously, took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I'd better follow my mentor's footsteps and choose the direction of studying the secrets of evolution!"
As expected, Shadra had a natural smile on his face after hearing the academic direction Lei Luo had chosen to study.
"That's good. Senior brother is really worried about your choice to study the potential of the human body!"
Lei Luo looked puzzled.
“Is there anything wrong with studying the potential of the human body academically?”
Shadra looked dark and solemn.
"I heard from my instructor that the conflicts between the scholars in the Principality of Barda and the Holy See have intensified in recent years. According to their human potential theory, as long as everyone's potential can be fully opened, they can break through their own limits and become a true god. Almost It is very similar to what those ancient evil wizards said, and it has begun to be taken seriously by the church. If it is not handled well, it is likely to be suppressed by the church's heretics, and even the royal family will be subject to dry cleaning. This is no joke!"
"Hiss... Humans become gods by opening up their own potential? The scholars there are really crazy!"
Lei Luo was familiar with "The Ceremony of Light", and every word was praising the unique nature of God, its majesty, and its divine and irresistible nature. Who would have thought that someone would say such words that blatantly challenged the authority of the Creator of Light? He couldn't help but marvel.
"It's crazy indeed!"
Shadra extinguished the crystal lamp and shook his head, worried about the situation of the scholars there.
"Junior brother, before learning the basic academic knowledge of evolution, you must first understand the conceptual basis of scholars' existence in the world!"
Lei Luo sat upright and listened carefully.
Shadra recalled the first enlightenment lesson given to him by his mentor Gu Bo many years ago, his eyes gradually turned into hazy reverence.
"The scholarship of scholars, which is what civilians call magic, is not a supernatural force. The basic research philosophy of scholars believes that in this infinite universe composed of space and time, there must be an objective truth law, and its Existence cannot be changed by any independent will, and even the bright Creator whom the church believes in can never affect its operation. We call it the law of truth, and the discovery of the research process of the truth law of this world is called modern natural science!"
Shadra looked proud.
"The so-called academics and the so-called magic are nothing but the power of truth and laws mastered by scholars in the process of exploring natural science!"
"The power of truth and law?"
Lei Luo recalled the infinite praise for the God of Light and the Creator in the "Light Ceremony", who is the starting point and source of everything, and is omnipotent!
Even by summoning the faint divine power of light, I felt the vast and infinite power, as if the eternal will of the world was beyond the reach of mortal creatures.
And scholars actually believe that there are laws of truth in this world that cannot be affected by the Creator of Light?
In this case...
Shadra's words were not stated clearly, but Lei Luo already knew clearly what he meant. This world is not dominated by the Creator of Light, but by the laws of truth!
But because this kind of words is too disrespectful to the Holy See, it must not be put on the table to appeal. It can only be expressed in another more tactful way.
Lei Luo understood the profound meaning, watched Shadra's warning eyes towards him, nodded seriously, and said nothing more.
Shadra continued: "On this basis, in the process of exploring natural science, scholars finally discovered the eternal first truth: conservation of energy!"
Seeing the confusion in Lei Luo's eyes, Shadra pursed his dark lips.
"The general meaning of conservation of energy is that there is a concept of balance in the world. Force is an interaction. There is no force that is born for no reason."
Lei Luo was still puzzled: "The concept of balance, what kind of balance?"
"kindness……"
Shadra said firmly, word by word: "If you want to achieve a certain goal, you will inevitably pay other prices! All expressions of energy must be explained by this law of truth! This includes the academic work of any scholar, or other ethnic groups The way living things exist, even natural phenomena, and even great gods!”
"god?"
"right!"
Shadra said firmly: "The power of gods does not come out of thin air. Under their seemingly omnipotent appearance, there must be some source of power, and they will pay a certain price for their divine power! Even gods, He will also perish!"
"hiss……"
Lei Luo took a breath, such disrespectful and arrogant words actually came from the mouth of this honest and dull Senior Brother Shaduo Luo. He quickly panicked and said: "Brother, please don't say such disrespectful words in the future. It brings trouble.”
"Well, junior brother is right."
Shadra stopped talking about Shinto, thought for a while, and gave an example: "The birth of every academic must abide by the balanced cost of energy conservation. The same goes for clergy, who summon divine power..."
"I know the price of the clergy!"
Lei Luo suddenly took over Shadra's words with a solemn voice.
"The price for clerics to summon divine power is their own lives!"
