As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 129 The End of 2022
"I still don't believe Merlin's method is full-blown spatial teleportation. I think it's a more advanced manifestation of quantum transmission."

Merlin's magic brain teleported and arrived at the destination almost instantly.

American used high-speed cameras at more than 25000 frames per second to try to capture the process.

It turned out that it appeared abruptly on the ground in a certain frame, with no continuous picture at all.

"Are you trying to say that Merlin's path to realization is actually some kind of quantum transmission, but it's much more advanced than what we understand?"

In the vision of Blue Star scientists, quantum transmission analyzes the material structure of an object at the starting point, stores it in the system, and transmits the data in the system to another machine through the network, and then synthesizes it at the transmission destination through the material at the destination.

"Yes, Merlin may have achieved his goal through some kind of matter in space."

"I think we need to break free from the shackles of the existing scientific theoretical framework. Magic is a theoretical system that we have never understood before. Our knowledge of the magic system is not even as good as that of an elementary school student. Don't force the previous theories on magic."

"In a sense, you are right, but if we don't find a theoretical coordinate to refer to, we have no entry point."

“We need the spirit of science, not the previous scientific system. Magic does not require meditation, there are no spells, and there is no magic network in DND.

On the contrary, there is a magic brain. Once you inject the magic brain, you will automatically have the ability to cast spells. Your perception, your thinking ability, and even your body will undergo changes that ordinary people cannot imagine. What do you think of?"

"The mutation theory is very popular in the base. There has always been a saying that Merlin's magic brain caused ordinary people to mutate, similar to the mutants in Marvel comics.

The magic brain is more like a gene mutation potion, could it be Merlin's own blood?"

"How is it possible that you have analyzed substances like red blood cells and white blood cells in your magic brain? Forget about that, you didn't even see any common compounds."

"Maybe Merlin's blood is different from ours?"

"Then our guess is completely overturned. If Merlin is an alien, how did he come to the Blue Planet? Long-distance space transmission or spaceship?
If it is a spacecraft, our GPS satellites have searched every inch of it and have not found it. We have also sent probes to the back of the moon and have not found it either."

An American science fiction writer has proposed a conjecture that Merlin is not on the Blue Planet, but an explorer of an alien civilization.

After discovering the Blue Planet, he observed the Blue Planet from space at a distance from the Blue Planet. Since he mastered the means of teleportation, he was able to teleport to the Blue Planet and learn about the Blue Planet's civilization.

Blue Star scientists do not believe that Merlin can achieve infinite distance teleportation. Teleportation must have limitations. The longer the distance, the more energy is consumed.

Of course, it would be another matter if the magic system could break the law of conservation of energy.

A hundred years ago, people might have thought that the law of conservation of energy could never be broken, but Yang Zhengning's parity non-conservation has proven the existence of energy non-conservation properties at the microscopic quantum level.

Then the energy in the macroscopic world may meet certain conditions and may not be conserved. Magic coin, magic brain, magic forum are all ways that Merlin has come up with to try to communicate with Blue Star in a friendly way.

Of course, after American science fiction writers put forward this hypothesis, they used various detection methods to explore the area around the blue planet, but did not find any abnormal objects.

"This is not something we can know. If we could obtain Merlin's blood, Merlin would have told us everything at gunpoint."

Another researcher sighed:
"If I told myself a year ago what the world would be like in 2022 and how I would spend the year, I would definitely think I was crazy."

"Who isn't? I feel like I'm a science fiction writer now, but a low-brow one. No one reads the experimental plans I write, but the dean will talk to me about some of the conjectures I write."

"Hahahaha, everyone is lost. They are running around the room like headless flies, trying to find the window to get out. But does this window really exist?"

"Who knows? Maybe only Merlin knows. I personally think we need to look for the essence of the magic brain from a biological perspective, rather than pinning our hopes on metaphysics.

It is true that the essence of magic is a completely new scientific system, but we need to find chapters from the previous scientific theories of Blue Star that can explain it. Even if we can explain it a little bit, we can slowly reverse engineer magic."

2022 is about to pass. The world situation was extremely turbulent this year, but unexpectedly it suddenly calmed down at the end of the year.

It's like a pot of boiling hot soup that is about to spill out, and then a bucket of cold water is added.

It will boil over eventually, but the timing will be pushed back.

Apple's press conference was held as scheduled in the fall. This time, Ke Chuang Bio's brain-computer connection technology landed on the iPhone 14 Pro and Max, as well as the latest iPad.

"This is an amazing product," Cook said on stage. "This is a new beginning for the iPhone. I'm deeply impressed after using it."

"You know, I only know a few simple Chinese words like hello and thank you. My previous experience with connecting my brain-computer to my iPhone was also very ordinary."

"But the new generation of iPhones equipped with English-language brain-computer connection technology will definitely make you shine."

"We have teamed up with Kechuang Biotechnology to carry out targeted optimization work, and his brain-computer connection operation experience will be smoother."

In fact, it was just publicity at the press conference. Ke Chuang Biotechnology did not make any targeted optimization for Apple. Apple itself did make IOS system-level optimization for brain-computer connection.

China has taken many practical measures to try to promote basic scientific research. The minimum scholarship standard for basic science students has been raised from 800 to 2,000.

(When I was in the School of Mathematics, as long as you didn’t fail any of the courses, you could get a scholarship, starting at 800 yuan.)
At the same time, certain things that happened this year made China more aware of the importance of independence and domestic alternatives.
