As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 236: The Interstellar Exploration Period in the History of the Mages' Union
Regarding whether there were wizards in ancient humans, most people believe that super powers must have existed in ancient humans, and wizards are a classified and improved form of super powers.

The improved form is expressed differently in the myths and legends of various countries. In ancient Western culture, it is a magic system: wizards, sorcerers, arcane systems, etc. As for China, it is Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, among which Taoist legends are the most common and widespread.

However, for governments that can mobilize massive social resources to verify the authenticity of ancient magic, as the investigation and research deepens, they become less and less convinced that super powers existed in ancient times.

So far, no extraordinary items or heritage have been passed down from ancient times.

On the contrary, the magic given by Merlin is a real ability. In contrast, the view that Merlin is an alien has become the mainstream inside.

Zheng Li also learned this from Academician Zhao.

Therefore, he also wanted to add another vest to cause trouble, to confuse the judgment of the Blue Star people and give them some sense of urgency.

It is even possible to create different types of magical civilizations.

In response to Li Miaomiao's question, Zheng Li said directly: "There is no evidence of the existence of ancient magic."

"You should have talked to many people who have a lot of social resources. Have you heard from anyone that they have seen ancient magical creations?"

"After using the magic brain, you will have perception abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, and can perceive more information than ordinary people."

"I heard that China has collected a lot of artifacts that are said to be handed down from ancient times and have mythological colors, but I haven't sensed anything abnormal from those artifacts."

Zheng Li intentionally lowered his voice when he mentioned the magic brain. With his control ability, almost only Li Miaomiao could hear the voice.

It has a bit of the meaning of transmitting sound to the ears.

"I'll tell you in detail when I get back, and let's talk about something else."

Although the Chinese side told Zheng Li to keep it confidential and he signed a confidentiality agreement, Zheng Li never took the confidentiality agreement seriously.

It was signed by Zheng Li and has nothing to do with me, Clark.

As long as the mage does not sign with his real name, it will not have any impact.

In the Mage Alliance, there are strict requirements for the real name of the mage. It does not mean that the name you are given is your real name.

When you are collectively trained by the Mage Alliance, you will only have a code name, and the name you give yourself when you grow up will also be just a name.

Even if one becomes a mage, one may not have a real name.

The real name needs to be authenticated after communicating through complex magic arrays and high-dimensional space.

The higher-dimensional space will associate your real name with your own magical fluctuations, and mages will basically abide by the oaths or agreements made with their real names.

Because once you break your oath, your spellcasting ability will be reduced at best, or you will become a complete criminal at worst.

You should know that the Mage Alliance will allocate a standard magic brain to everyone as soon as they are born. Even if they fail to become a mage, they still have the ability to cast spells.

It is unacceptable for a mage to completely become a criminal. Criminals are even more miserable than ordinary people.

They can only rely on endless virtual entertainment for the rest of their lives and lose all research capabilities.

No wizard tower will accept criminals.

Once you become a criminal, you won't even be able to control your own mage tower.

However, there are only a few mages with real names. Having a real name will enhance your spellcasting ability to a certain extent. Registering a real name requires a strong ability to understand high-dimensional space.

And the knowledge about registering a real name is extremely expensive.

Zheng Li was given the knowledge on registering a real name in a higher-dimensional space by the Mage Alliance when he became the God of Mage.

Even after coming to Blue Star, Zheng Li was unable to communicate with the higher-dimensional space and verify whether his real name still existed before he had the ability to cast spells.

After the soul space jump, some mages will lose their real names, while others will not. The specific reasons behind this have not been solved yet, and this is also a classic problem.

Many issues related to the soul have not been resolved, and the soul is also a popular subject in the world of mages.

The true name is not a language, but a string of gravitational waves of different frequencies.

"Let's go to Guanqian Street to have a meal, and then go shopping and today's activities will be over. What do you think?" Li Miaomiao asked with anticipation.

She dressed up carefully for her date today.

I usually wear light makeup when I am in the company.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "Okay."

Watching the movie this time brought Zheng Li a lot of inspiration, and he roughly knew how to realize the new vest.

Now that we have the general idea, the only thing left is the implementation stage.

In Zheng Li's vision, a long-term mechanism can even be formed.

In a good mood, he agreed to all of Li Miaomiao's requests.

Now that you're out, just take a good look around.

Guanqian Street is the earliest commercial pedestrian street in China with a very dense flow of people. It is located in the old city of Suzhou.

Guanqian Street is named after the Xuanmiao Temple, the largest Taoist temple in China during the Western Jin Dynasty.

Li Miaomiao had come here many times with friends, but this was Zheng Li's first time.

"Come, come, come over here and take a look."

"Come here, try this."

Zheng Li had a good experience under the guidance of Li Miaomiao.

This breath of life can only be experienced in the virtual world of the League of Mages.

Most mages only stay in their own mage towers, and occasionally go out for work. Most entertainment activities can be met in the virtual world.

Several large entertainment companies regularly distribute their latest products to various mage towers, and mages in need can redeem them with their points.

Since there is no large-scale networking function or online game, mages can only play games with ordinary people within the jurisdiction of their own mage tower.

No matter whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, the Mage Tower is responsible for centralized purchasing. Once the mages have purchased the games, ordinary people in his jurisdiction can also play them.

Game publishers occasionally give away games for free.

Ordinary people in the jurisdiction of some shabby wizards can only play free games.

Zheng Li became the God of Magic at a relatively young age and was still in the golden age of research. He earned a lot of alliance points from his research.

Therefore, he can be considered a very generous mage, and he basically updates his game library once a month.

Zheng Li himself would play it when his research progress was slow. Compared with the games in the magic world, the games on Blue Star were too monotonous.

Because the treatment in Zheng Li's jurisdiction is so good, many people want to come and live in their jurisdiction.

However, the movement of ordinary people requires the consent of the Mage Tower, and it is difficult for ordinary people who have not made special contributions to move within the jurisdiction.

Zheng Li gave the management rights of the area under his jurisdiction to artificial intelligence, leaving no room for any manipulation.

The consequence of the developed gaming industry is that very few people live in reality. The virtual world is too exciting and the real world is just a supplement.

Of course, ordinary people's addiction to the virtual world is also beneficial to mages.

Ordinary people connect to the biological cloud through the magic brain, and their brains will allocate part of the computing power to the biological cloud.

Some people may wonder why the poor wizard is unwilling to buy games and let the people in his jurisdiction become addicted to the virtual world?
Because even if they don't buy it, people will spend a lot of time in the virtual world.

Because free games are still more fun than reality.

For a mage, spending his precious alliance points to buy virtual games is a very low cost-effective thing.

As for why Zheng Li was willing to do this, it was because he didn't lack the money and he also loved to have fun.

Have money and be willful.

The downside of the rich entertainment in the virtual world is that not many people live in the real world. Zheng Li has hardly experienced such a coming and going in the Mage Alliance. The atmosphere he felt in Kuala Lumpur is slightly different from that in China.

The flow of people here is more dense, as it was the off-season when he went shopping in Kuala Lumpur.

There is still a difference between reality and virtuality.

Moreover, even the Mage Alliance cannot achieve 100% authenticity.

After the idea came to his mind, Zheng Li kept thinking about how to avoid arousing suspicion and make a clear distinction between the other vest and Merlin.

He knew there was a way, but its implementation would require the use of magic plants.

Ever since Heber, a mage who ranks among the top in terms of contribution in the history of the Mage Alliance, discovered that planets that may have intelligent life must meet certain conditions, the Mage Alliance has set off a craze for exploring the starry sky.

It was during this period of enthusiasm that the Alliance of Mages became an interstellar force.

And in another galaxy they discovered the biggest opponent they had ever encountered - the Empire.

The Empire and the Alliance adopted completely different systems, completely pyramid-shaped social structures.

The social structure of the Mage Alliance has only two levels: mages and ordinary people. The God of Mage is an honorary title awarded by the Alliance.

It can even be said that in terms of quality of life, there is almost no gap between ordinary people.

Anyway, you can experience everything in the virtual world, and the alliance in the real world guarantees the basic living standards.

All people will go through many tests in the process of growing up. If your belief in pursuing the truth is strong enough, you can become a mage even if you are not talented enough.

But the empire is completely different, so I won’t go into details here.

Zheng Li never visited the empire nor went to the front lines.

Back to the point, Heber developed his own set of algorithms based on the cosmic coordinate system studied by his predecessors.

After that, the Mage Alliance actually controlled dozens of planets.

Some of these territories are actually inaccessible by spacecraft, and the mages communicate with the humans who were on the planet before them.

Then, they obtained the cooperation of human forces on the planet, had the local forces clone the bodies, and some dying mages reached the planet through soul teleportation.

Directly participate in territorial unification and management.

The soul, body and memories cannot be teleported at the same time, which is an iron rule of teleportation magic. No one has been able to solve this problem since it was discovered.

Even if the distance is short, it is impossible for all three to be transmitted at the same time.

The difficulty and status of this problem in the Mage Alliance are comparable to the Riemann hypothesis on Blue Star.

This method requires the cooperation of other forces, but what if the local forces we communicate with do not cooperate?
The mages of the Mage Alliance have designed a special plan.

This plan allows people on the planet to use magic without a magic brain or understanding the nature of magic, and they can use magic even if they don't have any talent.

This method can invalidate the original order of the planet, and then the Mage Alliance can come forward to communicate with the forces on the planet and reach cooperation.

If this method does not work, the Mage Alliance will choose to give up and consider the next planet with intelligent life.

The most important thing about a planet to the Mage Alliance is knowledge, the knowledge that is born on it.

Rather than resources, a civilization that can achieve mining within the galaxy and advanced artificial intelligence will not lack resources.

Only more knowledge can substantially advance the progress of a civilization.

When the territory managed by the mages reached a certain extent and they encountered the Empire during the exploration and had fierce conflicts, the Alliance slowed down its pace of exploring the universe.

Therefore, the coordinates of intelligent life that Zheng Li obtained on Blue Star are also very valuable when he returns to the Mage Alliance, and can be understood as BTC with practical significance.

As for if they can reach a cooperative relationship with the Blue Star civilization, even a trading relationship, the Mage Alliance will give Zheng Li a high alliance point reward.

Zheng Ideal thought that when the Mage Alliance communicated with a civilization that could not cooperate directly, it would generally break the original order first.

Although people cannot be teleported there, items can be teleported there.

After thinking of a solution, Zheng Li knew that he had to add another item to his research plan.

Although it was a solution proposed many years ago, he did not have the relevant knowledge before.

It is like asking today's mathematicians to go back a hundred years to study the principles of alkali production. It takes time to think, and all they can rely on is the scattered relevant knowledge in their memory.

".What is your relationship with Zheng Li now?" Li Shuyao was speechless when she knew that her sister went to the movies with Zheng Li again.

Li Miaomiao replied: "Friends."

Li Shuyao sighed: "I can't understand the world of genius.

However, geniuses always have privileges, let alone a genius like Zheng Li.

Has Zheng Li ever performed magic for you?

Whenever my colleagues see something related to magic, they come to ask me if magic is like this.

It's like I have magic."

Li Miaomiao laughed happily after hearing this. She could even imagine Li Shuyao's look when she didn't know what to say when her colleagues teased her.

It's rare to see Li Shuyao being humiliated.

"No, this involves confidentiality regulations. How can it be leaked casually?"

Li Shuyao nodded and said, "That's right. So far, even on Zhihu, I have never seen anyone come out and say that their friend knows magic and performed it for him.

None of the anonymous ones said that.

At best, you'll see someone anonymously say that a friend of theirs has become a magician.

What are your plans now? Are you and Zheng Li stuck in this situation?"

Li Miaomiao asked back: "What else? Show your hand and get rejected?"

"Zheng Li clearly has no interest in love between men and women."

"At least after he returned to China, I learned from his supervisor in Singapore that when he was in Singapore, there were countless girls who wanted to chat him up."

"Zheng Li always tests others with questions that are as difficult as the entrance exams for top American universities."

"I actually found a woman who met the requirements in Lion City. She is a Harvard graduate with a PhD in science and engineering, and she is also very beautiful."

"But the problem is that even this level of intelligence is clueless when it comes to pure math problems."

"Since I found out, I've given up. I think it's fine this way."

When Zheng Li was still in Lion City, the person in charge in Lion City thought it might work, so he didn't report these things to Li Miaomiao. These are not part of the job.

But after Zheng Li returned to China and became a mage, it was clear that he would never come to Lion City again. Even if Zheng Li wanted to go back, China would not allow it.

Therefore, when the person in charge of Lion City came to Suzhou for a meeting, he told Li Miaomiao what he knew in a flattering tone during casual conversation.

I am ready to start writing about the magic showdown on the streets of London and New York. I have conceived the method a long time ago, but I need to think carefully about how to unfold it and the subsequent reactions of various countries.

As for how it is implemented specifically, you can guess haha.

So we should officially start this part this weekend.

There are many things that cannot be written at Qidian, and one can only be restricted in what one does.

Many deductions really cannot be expanded, and once they are expanded they will be blocked.

I also know that it is not reasonable to give all the magic brains to scientists. In reality, some magic brains must be used by other people, no matter where they are. But I can't write it like this.

I hope everyone can forgive me.
