As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 58 The Only Two Magic Coins

"What are the experimental results?" William has read Merlin's publicly published papers dozens of times.

He was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine two years ago. His research direction was how macromolecules work at the cellular level. He was temporarily transferred from Harvard University to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory by American officials.

The assistant replied, "The results are as expected. The magic brain mentioned by Merlin in his paper can affect the real world after being implanted in small mammals. Our experiments have successfully achieved this in mice, raccoons, gray weasels and other animals."

William has been thinking that they can successfully reproduce Merlin's experiment, but they cannot explain it all through the existing scientific system.

What he needs to do is to find an entry point to crack the mystery of the magic system.

William thought for a moment and asked, "Have you observed the emergence of souls in these small animals in our experiment after processing them?"

The assistant glanced at the experimental report and said, "No, we have not observed any human-like souls appearing after the death of these small mammals."

William: "So the soul is not a necessary condition for the ability to cast spells. It is equivalent to saying that the monsters in fantasy novels do exist, and they can have magic even if they have no intelligence and act on instinct."

"There must be some difference between casting spells based on instinct and casting spells based on intelligent life."

"Forget it. These research directions are still too far away from us. Our most urgent research direction now is how to manufacture a standard magic brain."

"What did Mueller say? How many standard magic brains can we obtain for research after Merlin releases the standard magic brains at 5 pm tomorrow?"

Assistant: "Director Mueller said that 20 percent of the amount obtained was allocated to us."

Compared to Singapore, Zheng Li prefers the feeling of being unmonitored in Kuala Lumpur. Although he can easily detect who is monitoring him, he still doesn't like it.

Zheng Li has deliberately reduced the amount of research in Lion City.

The tardigrade radio transmitter he placed on Pluto has been continuously sending signals to Earth.

The news of the existence of magical civilization has spread on a certain level, and the news is spreading from astronomy enthusiasts.

Countries have tried every possible means to block the magic.com website, but have failed. If they cannot block the website, they cannot prevent the spread of the news at the source.

In the absence of being able to block the website, countries have asked Internet giants to increase their censorship in this area to ensure that nothing about Merlin can spread freely on the Internet.

"How many people will be able to get tickets to the magic show tomorrow?" Zheng Li thought.

In his opinion, Magic Coin is the threshold for obtaining the ability to cast spells. After gaining an in-depth understanding of Blue Star's technological level and system, Zheng Li believes that this threshold is just right.

In order to enable everyone on Blue Star to cast spells, the foundation is not currently in place. Even if Zheng Li can mass-produce magic brains, he cannot produce so many.

It would be better to select a group of people in some way, teach them magic, and then lead the integration of magic and technology.

In Zheng Li's opinion, the root cause of the struggle on Blue Star lies in the scarcity of resources. To get rid of this situation, one needs to climb the technology tree on the one hand and move towards space on the other.

At 5:29 pm the next day, Magic Coin went online as scheduled.

During this time, organizations or individuals with a certain level of strength have calculated the coordinates of Mars and substituted them into the Heber algorithm to calculate the Heber constant. In other words, the coordinates of Mars are certain magic coins.

In addition, by calculating the coordinates of satellites in the solar system that may have life, such as Enceladus, Titan, and Europa, it was found that only Enceladus could possibly give birth to intelligent life.

Scientists calculated the coordinates of all the planets in the solar system, and only Mars, Enceladus and Earth met the requirements.

像开普勒-186f、格利泽581d、HD40307g、T星e、格利泽163d、HD85512b这些人类推测有生命存在的星球，由于观测手段的限制，人们只能粗略估计其位置。

Scientists have no way of obtaining the coordinates of these planets, let alone substituting their coordinates into the Heber algorithm for calculations.

Luo Shu underestimated the difficulty of calculating the coordinate system of planets in alien galaxies, and he could not understand the contents of the Haber algorithm involving complex functions, real analysis and measure theory.

"It's over. This is too difficult. I haven't found any coordinates yet. I only have an approximate coordinate of Mars. Which coordinates of Mars satisfy the Heber algorithm?"

The volume of a planet is very large, just like in three-dimensional coordinates, the South Pole of the Earth and the North Pole of the Earth are both coordinates of the Earth, but only one coordinate satisfies the Heber algorithm.

Considering a planet as a smooth manifold, Zheng Li introduced in detail in the introduction of the Heber algorithm how to calculate the "center" of this manifold using the Earth as an example. The coordinates of this "center" are the cosmic coordinates of the planet.

It had only been one day since the article was published, and one day was not enough time for Luo Shu to learn how to calculate the coordinates of the planet in the cosmic coordinate system.

When the next day came, Zheng Li could see in the background that the number of connections to the biological cloud had reached its highest point ever.

When Luo Shu saw the Magic Coin interface, he immediately registered his own e-wallet and entered his estimated coordinates of Mars. As he expected, it did not meet the requirements.

"I failed as expected. Magic Coins are not that easy to obtain. It seems I need to learn more knowledge."

The Magic Coins associated with the two planets Mars and Enceladus were obtained by the two most powerful countries on the blue planet - China and America.

The two powerful countries each received a Magic Coin.

The real power behind American is still hesitating on who to use this Magic Coin on.

"I proposed Musk. As the founder of SpaceX, Tesla, and Paypal, Musk has a unique vision for scientific development. What we need now is someone who can gain magic and point the way for our development."

"I disagree. Musk has not yet cleared the suspicion that he is Merlin."

"Wouldn't it be better if he was Merlin? We chose to use the only Magic Coin in America on him. Doesn't that reflect our goodwill and trust?"

"I also don't agree with choosing Musk. The standard magic brain can give people the ability to cast spells. After giving it to Musk, Musk will be more difficult to restrict. We have no means to restrict him, just like we haven't found any trace of Merlin so far."

"I also disagree with Musk. Musk has two nationalities besides American. His loyalty to American is questionable."

"These are not problems. We can ask Musk to renounce his citizenship in other countries. Since Musk has so many industries in Bluestar, we have the means to restrict him. At worst, we can demand to know his 'real name'."
