Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 229 Magic Research
"The essence of gods: This is the memory and wisdom of a god that has been stripped away, and it contains the spark of divinity. For gods, this is the ultimate punishment, which means that they are completely knocked out of the dust, and there is no chance to make a comeback .It is rare for the lord of the plane to punish the gods in this way. Cost: 0. Characteristics: Although this memory and wisdom are good, they cannot be absorbed by mortals."

Well, this is just a subsidiary product, the real benefit lies in the power of skyrocketing creation.

It is the instinct of World Tree to absorb the power of chaos and transform it into the power of creation, without Zhang Cheng's intervention.In fact, World Tree is doing this all the time.And the speed of transforming the power of creation does not depend on the World Tree itself, but on the whole of the Void Castle.

For example, Zhang Cheng could completely wipe out the gray wolf (now reduced to a wild beast), but he didn't do it because he knew that letting it live in the void castle would speed up the speed of World Tree's extraction of the power of creation. .For another example, if he uses the power of good fortune obtained this time to increase the area of ​​the Void Castle, the speed of extracting the power of good fortune will also be accelerated.

Because it was a windfall, Zhang Cheng didn't think too much about it.Under his consciousness, as if appearing out of thin air, the composition of the entire Void Castle increased rapidly, causing the overall volume and area of ​​the Void Castle to increase rapidly.However, as the master of the plane, Zhang Cheng knew that this was not created out of thin air.Rather, in the sea of ​​chaos, matter itself is endless.It just needs to spend the power of creation to "extract and filter" to make it a part of the world.

After a long time, Zhang Chengcai withdrew from World Tree's consciousness.This little accident took him so long that it was already late at night when he returned to Earth.

Frustrated with the computer for a few minutes, with no other gains worth mentioning.Obviously, the research on witchcraft and magic has been carefully kept secret by that side.In fact, this is normal...Of course, although Xiaoxiong said that it is difficult for people on earth to understand the realm of spirituality on the material level, Zhang Cheng really wants to know how they research it.

……

In a clean and white office, two people are sitting, watching a video playing on a monitor on the side wall.

In this video, Redstone is lying down inside a giant machine.A large hood is worn on the head, and countless wires extend out of the hood.Anyone who has watched this video knows that this is a brain test instrument through which many details of human brain activity can be observed.For example, which area is active, which is dormant, and so on.This is the most important and advanced instrument and equipment for human beings to study their own brains on earth.

"How's the situation?" A middle-aged white man in casual clothes sat on a chair and asked aloud while watching the video.Opposite him was an old man with most of his hair rebellious, and the rest of the unrebellious hair turned white.Two people are sitting in a large but somewhat messy office.It should be pointed out that although it can be seen from the positions of the two people that the old man is the master of this office, but in terms of the attitudes of the two people, the two people are exactly the opposite.

This is natural, because the old man is just a scholar, and he is facing a commissioner, who is said to be jointly sent by the government and the military.But whatever his origins, one thing is clear: His words will determine the fate of this research project.

"No progress." The old man scratched the few remaining hair, or his scalp. "Our existing theories do not support this phenomenon. At present, we can only say that he is a completely ordinary person. All indicators are normal."

"That is to say, it cannot be explained?"

"Yes, it can't be explained... just like the situation in the last century." The old man sighed. "In the last century, our predecessors went through a series of researches and experiments, and finally confirmed the two superpowers of 'super-sensory' and 'fuzzy mental signals'. There are many superpowers other than the two, but due to restrictions Due to the technology at the time, it is impossible to confirm. I have to say that the current situation is strikingly similar to the last century."

"It's a little different." The middle-aged man replied. "Things like 'super-sensory' and 'fuzzy mental signals' are super powers, but they have no practical value in themselves, only research value. And this time... this Indian can really predict the weather. According to his It is predicted that the drought in the southwest will continue for at least another month. Our meteorological experts have studied for half a day, and finally came to the same conclusion." He laughed. "But our meteorologists have weather satellites, they have Doppler radar, they have telemetry, they have a lot of weather stations . Weather, predicting the weather correctly, doctor, you know, it has indispensable value whether it is political, economic or military. For example, this drought. If you trade grain futures, you can make money without losing money. Of course, buying it now may be already late."

"Perhaps you are right." The old man known as 'Doctor' replied.

"So what's the final conclusion?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I hope there is enough time to study slowly and find a breakthrough. But if not," the doctor replied. "Then my conclusion is that modern technology cannot help in this regard."

"That is to say... if we want a 'own' Indian wizard, we can only gradually train and cultivate them according to those primitive methods?"

"That's what I mean."

"Are those training methods reliable? We have collected a lot of wizard practice methods from those tribes through multiple channels. Facts have proved that Redstone did not lie to us, but we are summarizing these... practice methods full of superstition in primitive society Afterwards, I felt that those methods were too unreliable. Some of them were even suicidal."

"I can't be sure." The doctor replied dejectedly.There is nothing more frustrating for a scientist than to admit to being ignorant and incompetent. "My opinion is that if we have to carry out this research, we must make this project long-term. We can subsidize Redstone to train two tribesmen as apprentices. In this way, we can observe every detail of the wizard's training process and get enough Data... I admit that this is probably a relatively long-term research project, and I can't expect any results in the short term... This is my conclusion report document." He handed a stack of documents to the other party reluctantly.

"Thank you for your opinion, doctor." The middle-aged man said, then put away the documents and got up to leave.The poor doctor was left holding his head, leaning against the desk in frustration and helplessness.

The commissioner walked out the door, and there were already assistants waiting for him outside the door.The commissioner handed the document to the assistant. He didn't speak, but the expression on his face revealed enough information.

"Your Excellency, that..."

"The 'brain altering' faction has conceded defeat. They cannot explain Indian magic," the commissioner said. "They say they need enough time, but I think the success rate of this project is very low."

Explanations for paranormal phenomena such as superpowers or magic have historically been divided into several theories.One of these is the so-called "brain altering" theory.This theory holds that so-called superpowers are actually the result of a special enhancement of a certain part of the brain.

Regardless of the results of this theory, at least the theory itself is very attractive: it means that there is a shortcut to witchcraft or superpowers: you only need to stimulate a specific area of ​​​​the brain to make it "strong".

"How about the church?" He suddenly asked beside him.After all, things like magic involve a lot, and the church is always an important communication partner.According to many legends, the church is a collection of a large number of various types of magic, witchcraft and alchemy materials.Of course the same is true in reality.This is the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years, and it is no small matter. Even the United States, which claims to be the strongest on earth, is far inferior in this respect.Not even comparable.So if you really want to study magic, communication with the church becomes an indispensable content.

"It is believed that the Indian magic comes from the contract with the devil." The assistant replied. "But it does sound like it."

In church propaganda, at least on the surface, human magicians or witches can only use magic because they sign a contract with the devil.In the inheritance system of Indian wizards, wizards also gain power through communication with the spirit of nature.The two do have obvious similarities.Only when human beings communicate with "existences beyond human beings" and finally reach some kind of contract can they have supernatural power.

"A demon... a spirit of nature?" The commissioner lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "The doctor suggested that we pay for that Indian to train several fellow apprentices. Maybe we can use this method to figure out what magic is all about."

"Why choose his kind?"

"The Indian has clearly rejected it. He will not teach the way of white wizards." The commissioner sneered. "However, if we really find a suitable apprentice, he should not refuse. Because there are very few people with wizard talent, it is difficult to find. He also does not want to have no successors."

"Can't we get other wizards to help?"

"It is indeed much easier to convince other wizards, but their strength is limited, and they are more deceitful. The same practice method, there are obvious differences between different people. More than one person told me that the Indian is the last great wizard .And it is very likely that there will be no next great wizard... To be honest, I am not sorry to hear this news at all." The commissioner sneered again. "By the way, where is the Indian? Has he gone back?"

"I went back. I left after the experiment." The assistant replied. "It is said that Gerald is looking for him."

"Gerald... the billionaire?" The commissioner frowned. "He still has this idleness? Didn't it mean that he had some serious illness and was already terminally ill?"

"Yes, pancreatic cancer has spread all over the body, and there is no cure. So this time he came to the Indian to treat him. Science can't help him, so he can only turn to magic."

"That Indian can still cure diseases?" The commissioner was very interested. "With his psychic potions?"

Those psychic potions have been repeatedly tested a hundred or eighty times, and the ranking of the active ingredients from the highest to the lowest is clear at a glance, not to mention the active ingredients, and the ineffective ingredients have been tested clearly.If you want to talk about magic, witchcraft and superpowers, after all, the principle is unknown, and it is really difficult to judge.But it is a certain fact that these medicines are useless.

"No, with some... some kind of witchcraft. He's promised." The assistant laughed. "It's impossible not to agree. Mr. Gerrard has offered an astronomical treatment fee."

"How many?"

"I don't know, but it is said that it is a price that can directly make the entire Indian tribe rich. But this is completely understandable. Our Mr. Gerald is only in his 60s this year. If he doesn't have this disease, he can still live for many years. .”

"Any specific updates?"

"The Indian is said to be performing some complicated rituals, and he needs to communicate with the spirit of nature to gain more power. According to our current information, he may even need to temporarily increase his own power at the cost of damaging his body And he himself admits that, even so, he is not 100% confident in curing pancreatic cancer. Mr. Gerrard promised that even if the treatment fails, he will provide a lot of money. But compared to the reward of cure, this The cost is negligible.”

"That's interesting..." the commissioner replied. "This is a rare opportunity. Pay attention to this matter, and let me know any new developments as soon as possible. By the way, is there any latest development about that Mr. Martin?"

"It is certain that Mr. Martin has left our country. Maybe there was no such person as Martin from the beginning." The assistant replied with some anxiety.The commissioner's duties have nothing to do with this matter, but he cannot refuse the other party's questions. "We found the driver, Mr. Conn. He was the one who took Martin to the airport. We were supposed to get first-hand information about Mr. Martin's superpowers from him. But Mr. Conn insisted that there was nothing unusual along the way, and he It's just an ordinary hired driver. From his description, we can know that whether it is a supermarket murder or a road accident, it has nothing to do with Mr. Martin."

"Sure enough... have you been brainwashed by superpowers?"

"Yes. Considering Mr. Martin has this ability, he is a bit too dangerous." The assistant sighed.Fortunately, this kind of brainwashing ability is limited and cannot be constant, and it can be recovered after a period of time.But that alone is scary enough!
Think about it, he can hypnotize you silently and forcibly change your cognition in a short time.From this point of view, all ordinary means are ineffective against this person.It is impossible to catch him, at least it cannot be done by humans.In addition, this Mr. Martin may also have incredible powers including mind power, controlling lightning, space movement, and summoning monsters.In terms of strength, he may not be as good as those superheroes in the comics, but in terms of diversity of abilities, I am afraid that superheroes are also not as good as him. "This matter has been reported to the director, and the relevant information must be kept secret. We can only wait patiently for this Mr. Martin to appear again."
