As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 67 Magic Forum
Simmons saw that Sassoon was talking enthusiastically, and even though he didn't understand what he was saying, he didn't interrupt him.

"From our observations, this new protein is somewhat similar to Sec18/N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (Sec18/NSF), but it also has some differences.

There are differences in SNAP receptors (SNAREs) and Sec1/Munc-18 between them.

Even the way your synaptotagmin, complexin, and DoC2 proteins regulate Ca2+-triggered exocytosis is different from ours.”

"In a sense you are evolving, you have become a completely different species from humans."

"Maybe it's the difference between a horse and a donkey. We might use your sperm to do fertility experiments."

"We can even breed the next generation for you and then observe their fertility."

"If you feel weird, you can do it yourself."

Simmons smiled bitterly and said, "Even if it was me 20 years ago, I would be happy to go into battle myself, but I am already over 80 years old, and now I no longer have the desire."

Sassoon reminded him, "Your brain stem neurons are recovering. You will return to your youthful state. Maybe you will think my reminder is a good one by then."

While Sassoon was talking, the landline on his desk rang: "OMG! Wait a minute, I'll be right there!"

Simmons asked, "What about me?"

Sassoon: "It's incredible! Not only are there new proteins in your cells, but there are also new organelles!"

"The Demon Brain can actually change your genetic expression to this extent! It's even more incredible than I thought."

"What an amazing creation."

Sassoon trotted all the way to the laboratory.

Simmons is old and stopped after running only two steps.

Suddenly, a few lines of text appeared in front of him. He looked again and found that the interface composed of these lines of text was a bit like an old-fashioned BBS forum:
"Magic Forum"

Simmons soon realized that Merlin used this method to allow all people who were injected with the standard magic brain to communicate directly remotely.

There is currently only one post in this old-fashioned BBS forum.

Simmons took a closer look and found a number in the upper right corner: 3. He immediately determined that this was the forum member number. Was he the third person to visit the magic forum?
The first one is most likely Merlin. Merlin is the builder of the magic system. Of course, it is also possible that Merlin does not take action personally. So who are the first two?
If my number is 3, it means that there are currently three people in the world who have completed the injection of artificial magic brain, and one of them must be the user of the magic coin determined by Mars.

I just don’t know if the other one is Merlin, or if the coordinates of a new planet that may give birth to intelligent life have been discovered.

Simmons continued to look carefully and found that there was only one post:
"Hello, the fact that you can enter the Magic Forum means that you have obtained Magic Coin and injected the Standard Magic Brain. Only when the Standard Magic Brain is fully mature in your body can you access this forum.

The Magic Forum is a platform for everyone to communicate and demonstrate their value.

As a mage, knowledge is your only driving force.

Using magic requires you to understand its nature.

Increasing mana is not achieved through meditation as you see in fantasy novels, but through a deeper understanding of the relationship between will and reality, combined with knowledge of biology and genes, to transform your cells and even body structure. Only evolution at the biological level can improve your spellcasting ability. Meditation can only help you concentrate, and it is not very helpful for increasing mana.

If you have new research results, questions, ideas, and inspirations, you can post them on the Mage Forum, and these posts can be set to be paid for viewing.

If others want to see your knowledge achievements, they need to pay corresponding magic coins. Of course, you can also set it to be free to watch.

My advice to everyone is to set it up as free viewing in the early stages, and then set it to paid content once you have a certain level of credibility.

For any paid content, those who pay to view it can rate the post to provide a reference for users who have not viewed it.

At the same time, if you have any questions, you can pay a certain amount of magic coins to ask others for answers. Obviously, the more magic coins you provide, the more people will want to answer you.

There may be many people answering the same question. The questioner will authenticate the answer and be responsible for distributing the magic coins he provides to solve the problem to the answerers.

When your answer is solved, the answers that did not earn magic coins will be made public for free, and the answers that earned magic coins will also require magic coins to view.

These magic coins paid out will be obtained by the answerer and the questioner in proportion.

So asking a good question is rewarded accordingly.

The Magic Forum will make everyone deeply aware of the value of thinking, so please cherish your abilities and give full play to your talents!
Merlin

For Zheng Li, the Magic Forum allows countries on Blue Star to share their research results on magic. He controls the forum, so the knowledge in it is naturally fully open to him.

Mages do not care about wealth or power, they only care about how much they know, how well they can graduate from the Mage Academy and become a Mage God. Knowledge is their eternal pursuit.

In the secret military base of Area 51, Simmons realized that the magic brain not only allows people to gain the ability to cast spells, but also provides a space for magicians to communicate privately.

As to whether Merlin had tampered with the demon brain, American scientists only speculated that there was, but this was only speculation and there was no evidence.

After the forum interface appeared directly in his field of vision, Simmons deduced that since Merlin allowed everyone to access the forum he set up through the magic brain, he also had the means to tamper with the magic brain.

The Blue Star investigators have a preliminary assessment of Merlin's portrait:
“It is likely that they are English, have a relatively in-depth understanding of classical English and even Latin, have been trained in a skilled scientific research system, are proficient in paper writing, and have obtained another kind of systematic knowledge of civilization.

The political spectrum should lean towards left-wing internationalists, economically inclined towards globalization, being a direct beneficiary of economic globalization over the past thirty years, and without nationalist tendencies.

This judgment has led investigative agencies in various countries to reduce the intensity of their tracking of Zheng Li. They are now just cruising around the periphery of Kechuang Bio's Lion City R&D center, mainly observing.

But the scientists on Blue Star did not know whether the magic brains distributed by Merlin were finished products or ones he had made himself.

If it is a finished product, it means that the ruins of civilization he found are still maintaining basic operations and can keep the magic brain active until now.

And if he made it himself, it means that Merlin's cooperation value is greater than his looting value.
