Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1235 Bread Boat

Zhu Xianxi, who had solved the problem, returned with two rabbits in his arms. Although this operation was a bit frightening for him, it was an unexpected surprise. First of all, his "great achievement" had a good start. The sample of the medicine that could heal the world was finally completed, and the only thing left was to distribute the medicine.

He had been prepared to pay a huge price, and he had always been prepared. Because accepting the country's disgrace and misfortune has always been the code of conduct, his personal gains and losses are secondary. But he didn't expect that Shangluo would actually redeem his personal "great loss" and even double it. Now he has two more experimental assistants, two moon rabbits who can help him pound medicine, and both are top students who graduated from the chemistry department of a top university - and they don't ask for wages.

And the most important thing for him personally was that he ascended to the realm of heaven and man through this "merit".

"So it seems that the path of meritorious service is indeed feasible." Although it is hard to say what the ancient saints, such as Shennong, were like, it is clear that Zhu Xianxun did rely on "merit" to be promoted.

"But one thing is still unclear - how is the causal relationship between them established? Because it seems that Senior Brother was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Stage first, and then he has now fully established his merits. The moment he was promoted, he only had poison in his hand, and he poisoned himself to death."

[I think the cause can come before the effect, and the effect can come after the cause.]

"Can it still be like this?"

[To put it in detail - although he did not establish merit at the moment of his promotion, he has already established merit in the near future, so the 'Way of Heaven' favors him.]

"Interesting. So what does the Way of Heaven rely on to reward and punish?"

[I can give you some references - in Rome, there are three types of magic users. The first type is that he chooses magic, which is the usual sense of magician; the second type is that magic chooses him, which is relatively rare, but very powerful; the third type is that he neither chooses magic nor magic chooses him, but he can cast spells. ]

"The first two are easy to deal with. What is the third one?"

[The third type is actually the most common. Because broadly speaking, everyone can be a third type magician - mysticism generally believes that wheels, flames and throwing are the three original magics of mankind. These three magics have enabled humans to completely transcend nature. So as long as you have ridden a bicycle, you are a magician. Human civilization itself is based on magic, and everyone can be a magician. ]

"Is this possible?"

【So I said it in a broad sense. The third type of magicians in a narrow sense is actually very rare. They are magicians beyond mystery, and have the ability to control chaotic systems. For example, pilots belong to this category. From this perspective, magic is everywhere, but even if humans cannot understand magic, they can control it - all cognition in this world is circulating between magic, religion and science. For example, fire was magic at first, then became religion, and now it has become science. Who knows if it will become magic again one day in the future. Flying an airplane is magic now, but who knows if it will become religion one day in the future.】

"It will become a religion that is meant to please machine spirits, right?"

[It is indeed possible, right? So specifically, whether you can understand this process and whether you can benefit from it is not important. The rules of this world continue to climb along the triple helix of magic, religion and science. The Roman dichotomy actually has three parts entangled in it. For example, the Oracle combines magic and religion, the Muses Palace is based on magic and science, and Constantinople on the side of the magic is actually not interested in magic, but just combines religion and science - so.]

She concluded: [Your senior brother is now benefiting from the unspeakable "magic". If he can summarize the laws, he may be able to make it into dogma, or even real science. For a strong and hardworking person like him, this breakthrough can give him a considerable increase.]

“You mean I didn’t work hard enough?”

[God has mercy on you! Mr. Shangluo, you are totally a second-class magician. You are the one chosen by magic.]

"I think so too." Victoria suddenly popped up. "Can you please stop following her lead?"

"Then let's talk business. Those automata are almost here, right? This is the first time humans have faced an organized group of automata!"

"Yes, that was originally your problem, and now it has come to us. Tsk."

"I'm sorry. But you see, they don't seem to have any bad intentions."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. 20 bread ships, and then there will be a bunch of bread men coming down, right? I can smell the bread from here."

Before seeing the ships, you can smell them. Before the giant transport ships arrived in Edo, the aroma of bread was overwhelming. There was a kind of "happiness" taste. After all, the aroma of baking bread is really reassuring.

But the aroma was so strong that Shangluo thought the boat was not for making bread, but for roasting bread.
"Shangluo." Phaethon sent a message, "I have spotted the target. It is still three hours away from Edo. You will probably be able to see it on the horizon soon. Do you need to intercept it?"

"Did they write back?"

"There has actually been active communication since the connection was established. They don't seem to mind communication and they answer all questions."

"It looks like they are acquaintances. What do they want to do?"

"Their purpose is still under investigation. At present, they are just following the normal procedures to apply for docking, just like ordinary merchant ships."

"Is this like an ordinary merchant ship?"

"Ah, wait a minute." Phaethon paused. "They said they had already obtained approval and were allowed to enter the port. We can check the records in Chiba."

"Where can I check now? Just tell me what they are here for."

"We have asked it, but Jinyiwei always feels that they seem to be covering up something because the answer is too outrageous."

"what is the answer?"

"Bread. They said they were here to deliver bread. They were here to deliver unlimited amounts of bread, and subsequent bread ships were still arriving. Only one ship would dock here, and the remaining 19 ships would go to various parts of the world, 12 of which would go to Kinai, and they hoped to apply for docking at the same time. They wanted to give delicious bread to people all over the world. They said that Rome's national policy was bread and circuses, and they were responsible for providing bread to the world. They were the authentic Rome."

"Rebellion! Rebellion!" Victoria said angrily, "They provide bread? Does this mean I should provide the circus? Do they treat Constantinople as a circus?"
