As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 149: A Newbie Gift Pack for Blue Star
"We can nominate Merlin for the Nobel Prize in Physics or Physiology together.

Just proving the existence of the soul is the biggest discovery in recent years, comparable to the results of quantum mechanics."

"The problem is, this wasn't Merlin's discovery. This was someone else's achievement that Merlin announced."

"Merlin is just a code name. You don't think Merlin is really called Merlin, do you? Giving the Nobel Prize to Merlin is like giving it to the civilization behind this code name to show the goodwill of Blue Star.
I guess this is what is meant by the above. "

Since the publication of the paper named Miren, the existence of the soul has become a hot topic on the Blue Planet.

Various mystical speculations emerge in an endless stream.

In the past, some brave people might have thought that haunted houses were scary and it was just a psychological effect.

After the existence of souls was confirmed, there are fewer and fewer hosts doing ghost-hunting live broadcasts. What if evil spirits really do exist?
There is no need to risk your life for money.

There are countless masters, and the level of superstition in America is far higher than that in China.

Most Chinese people are pragmatists. I don’t really believe in it, but what if this god is useful? I’ll still worship him.

Of course there are some who truly believe, but they are a small proportion.

Many Americans really believe in this, and there are many different religions.

After the soul was confirmed to exist, masters began to emerge one after another, claiming that they could see your soul directly.

It can help you liberate your soul.

He produced forged evidence and claimed that he had known about the existence of the soul many years ago.

The so-called "masters" whose logic is full of inconsistencies have become popular in America.

"And it seems that they have already discussed with the Europa League to award this year's Nobel Prize to Merlin, and then asked Merlin in the magic forum whether he is willing to attend the award ceremony."

"I'm afraid Merlin wouldn't dare come in person."

"Everyone knows that he doesn't dare to show up in public, but what if? What if Merlin really comes?"

"We have too many questions to ask him, but now we only have the magic brain but no other ways to use it.

The improvement of personal thinking ability, changes in physical condition, and the improvement of perception are all part of individual evolution, but there is still a lot for us to explore on how to make better use of individual evolution.”

“Yes, we have no idea why a specific wavelength of laser light combined with ultra-short light pulses can detect souls.

Just like the principle of X-rays, we know very well that when X-rays penetrate matter, different density parts absorb X-rays differently, thus forming images of different brightness and darkness.
But what about the principle of soul observation rays? Even if Merlin tells us the application clearly, we still don't know the logic behind it.

This is very important to us. Only by deeply understanding the source of the theory and application of the magic system and learning from their thinking can we make more discoveries. "

Let Pierre and Jurgen get together to communicate. After they obtain the magic brain, they are surprised by its effect.

In their view, being able to comprehend the mysteries of magic does not require much. As long as Blue Star can manufacture its own magic brain, the interstellar era will be just around the corner.

Jurgen said: "I have a guess about this."

“Merlin, or the civilization behind Merlin, knew that this light could detect souls because their planet would be directly illuminated by this light, which would then be combined with ultra-short light pulses in the universe.

They observed white mist appearing whenever there was a death of intelligent life around a certain location."

"As magic technology advances, they figured out the reason behind the phenomenon and discovered that the white mist is the soul."

"In a sense, the essence of the soul is the information contained in the cells. When intelligent life dies, the information is expressed in the three-dimensional world in the form of objects."

"This information exists in all cells. Cell death information will also spread in some form, but it is too small to be directly observed by human observation methods."

“When intelligent life dies, a large number of cells in its body die. Humans can observe this phenomenon through the combined effects of lasers in special frequency bands and ultrashort light pulses.”

Zheng Li was reading the explanations of the soul uploaded by various countries.

Since he clearly pointed out in the bounty task that the explanation of similar content, only those who upload first can get points. Upload opportunities are limited.

For example, if there are two users of the magic brain in China, they only have two chances to upload.

The English, Neon and Australian alliances only have one upload opportunity.

The English side was very cunning and did not even mention the bounty mission.

On the surface, everyone is a partner. Neon is an orphan in Asia, England is a troublemaker in Europe, not to mention the Kangaroo Country, an isolated island overseas.

The three countries united together to seek warmth together.

But banding together for support does not mean close cooperation. England's scheming is no joke.

They only mentioned the existence of the magic forum and the bounty mission England wanted to take all the benefits for himself.

Japan doesn’t know anyway, so what’s wrong with keeping it all for itself?
Since Germany and France each obtained a magic brain, there is no point in keeping it secret for the European Alliance, so it is better for them to work together.

Due to various geopolitical reasons or magic research, the European continent has taken a step closer to substantive unification.

Germany and France take better care of these younger brothers economically.

As for China, it has both competition and cooperation with Russia.

Zheng Li looked through them one by one and found that the experimental data of America was the richest. The richest here was only relative to other countries, not really rich. Compared with the soul experimental data and inferences accumulated by the Mage Alliance, it was not worth mentioning.

China's answer was quite imaginative. It came up with a logically self-consistent theory based on a small amount of data and speculation.

The essence of the soul is a certain substance in the cell that guides the expression of genes.

It is equivalent to the soul determining gene expression, and genes providing options for the soul to decide.

Souls interact and guide each other.

Therefore, the soul, body and genes influence each other and exist as a trinity in intelligent life.

In a sense, China's speculation is more in line with the speculation of the Mage Alliance in the Middle Ages.

As for the soul, there was no definitive conclusion until Zheng Li came to Earth.

The understanding of the soul is constantly improving, and there are a large number of gods who specialize in research in this area.

Zheng Li is an enthusiast and has some understanding of this, but it is not his main research direction.

Just like quantum mechanics on the blue planet, it is a discipline with many sub-disciplines, and there are countless scholars studying this field.

There are more than twenty physicists who have won the Nobel Prize for their research on quantum mechanics.

Not to mention the sub-fields caused by quantum mechanics, there are many winners.

Quantum mechanics is a prominent subject in the field of physics, so much so that a science fiction novel would not be science fiction if it did not mention it.

The status of soul in the Mage Alliance is higher than quantum mechanics. Every breakthrough in soul research means an increase in the upper limit of spellcasting ability.

However, when it comes to the underlying principles, mages still have many unknown issues.

Zheng Li didn't expect the scientists on Blue Star to come up with any inferences that would surprise him, at least not now.

As for the responses from the countries on Blue Star, he could only say that they met his requirements.

Based on the responses of each country and some personal preferences, he allocated magic coins to each country as follows:

China received 4 medals, the European Union received 3 medals, Russia and America received 1 medals each, and England received medal.
America can also obtain 3 missiles, but Zheng Li is unilaterally targeting America.

Some previous facts left a bad impression on Zheng Li.

This is what centralized exchanges do.

(After this outrageous operation by some cryptocurrency exchanges, no one will believe that cryptocurrency is truly decentralized anymore.)
As for England, since their answer was too similar to the Europa League, which submitted in advance, they only received one magic coin.

The number of magic coins in each country is as follows: China has 7, the European Union and America have 6 each, Russia has 5, England has 1, and England, the Kangaroo Country and Japan jointly hold .

As for the cloud brain service launched by Zheng Li, no one was willing to buy it.

This is a bit of a blind combination. If you spend your precious magic coins and see no effect, it would be a pure loss.

When you only have a few magic coins in your hand, each one is so precious.

"How many magic coins did your country get from the bounty mission?"

"Two."

China and Russia have a special communication channel for magic, and they will exchange information regularly. This time, the two sides want to discuss cooperation in purchasing information from the magic brain.

There will definitely be internal plans for communication in such occasions.

Regarding this question, China originally wanted to say one, but one seemed a little too little, so the final answer was decided to be two.

The Chinese basically keep something to themselves in everything and are accustomed to hiding their shortcomings.

"We also got two. Now everyone can only get a few magic coins by guessing the nature of the soul.

In a sense, this is Merlin’s gift to Blue Star Civilization.”

"Don't you know that you play games? This is a beginner's gift pack in online games."

“Then this novice gift package is a bit stingy. I hope we can be honest. We have a total of five magic coins so far.

If your country also has five magic coins, then we can pool together to purchase the biostorage technology."

For Russia, they can only survive by selling resources. This is not what they want, they want to have pillar industries.

Biological storage, and the biological computer technology behind it, is seen by Russia as a rare opportunity to overtake others.

It can directly cross the various barriers set up by Europe and the United States in the semiconductor field and compete again in the new track.

"We also have five magic coins."

It's just that both sides are haggling over the specific details of the cooperation.
