Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 251 Six Domains of Knowledge

"Civil war? Has it come to this point?" Although Rome has always had civil wars in history, it would be too cruel to start a civil war just because of a mistake in practice.

"So, your practice with the Rockets is important, isn't it?"

Victoria looked at him. "It's incredibly important. Because...do you know why Rome is divided into six parts?"

Apollonia had introduced Liufen Rome to Shangluo before, namely:

The Mystical Constantinople - Seat of the Senate
Alchemy's Alexandria - Home of the Palace of the Muses
Delphi of Astrology - Home of the Oracle
And
Sociological Rome
syracuse of physics

And the ideal city where all 'practices' come together: the New Antioch of America.Among them, New Antioch has a relatively higher independence, because Rome's territory in the New World of America is named after the "Great Columbia Governorate", and New Antioch is the capital of Greater Colombia.

Here, Rome deliberately separated the occult center from the political center.Political centers such as London, Paris, and Seville did not undertake mystical functions; while Alexandria, Delphi, Syracuse, and even the city of Rome itself were not important politically, they were not the capital of any region, or even It has been deliberately downplayed politically.

Apart from Constantinople in the east, the only one that undertakes both political and mystical functions is New Antioch.The skyscrapers of the Manhattan peninsula are also an interpretation of modern life: in the concrete forest of huge neoclassical buildings, there is a Broadway theater district and a huge rectangular central garden.

The crown jewel of all these achievements is the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere—in terms of skyscrapers alone, it's actually the world's tallest at 442 meters.But after expanding to all man-made buildings, the antenna of the Songjiang Broadcasting Tower is 30 meters higher than it.

If any city could have led the Roman Empire away from Constantinople, it would be New Antioch.At least there are no skyscrapers this tall anywhere else.

"So... you may not know the importance of 'practice' in this. Let me change the question: Do you know why Rome is divided into six parts: magic, alchemy, astrology, and sociology, physics, practice this Six domains?"

【oh. ] Apollonia mentioned God, 【She is going to tell you something very important.Listen carefully, I will turn off the microphone first. 】

"I don't know." Shang Luo shook his head.

"So...you are the king of Rome, you are entitled to know this." Emperor Victoria took a sip of tea, the tea was on her side, and there was no model loaded here.

She pressed a button on the table, and the window from which she could observe the outside world became a mirror.

"The mirror symbolizes closure. The next conversation." She glanced at Karin in the room, "Miss Karin, can we talk alone?"

"Ah?" Karin just realized that she shouldn't be here in the first place, "Ah! Sorry!"

Victoria nodded kindly.It wasn't until Karin walked out that she pressed the second button—

"boom."

The entire wall next to the window becomes a mirror.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang."

In a series of sounds, the remaining five sides of the room also turned into mirrors in turn.

There are only tables, chairs, Shangluo and Victoria, and the flag behind her left in the room.Shang Luo looked around, and his face and figure were reflected on the mirror, and the images in the mirror were infinitely copied and recursive, reaching an infinitely deep distance.And his every movement will cause countless mirror images to act together.

"Absolutely closed, absolutely safe. Then, it can be said: According to previous research, all knowledge in this world can be divided into three categories: human knowledge, world knowledge, and light knowledge or symbolic knowledge." knowledge. Combining them in pairs, we get the six domains that divide all knowledge:

"The study of the relationship between symbols and the world, the study of the communication and interpretation of meaning, that is, synology, is the supernatural power of the three great arts. It includes the study of language, magic, runes, and the immortal god of the world, that is, the divine machine. Research. The great arts are headed by supernatural powers.

"The study of the relationship between signs and signs, with the sign itself as the object of study, is semiotics, the alchemy of the three great arts. This study was carried out in Alexandria. It studies the arrangement and combination of elements and explores the great art. The end point of - that is, the Philosopher's Stone.

"The study of the relationship between symbols and people, and the study of what a person is from the perspective of light (symbols), is pragmatics, which is astrology among the three great skills. It includes the study of the relationship between heaven and man, astrology, and prophecy. Because The human element is involved, so it becomes infinitely complicated. We study astrology at the oracle at Delphi, and use the infinite to understand the infinite.

"The other three fields do not take symbols as the research object. The relationship between people is sociology in a broad sense, which is studied in Rome. The relationship between the world and the collision of rules and rules is physics in a broad sense. Research in Syracuse. The research in Rome and Syracuse is more symbolic, because physics and sociology can be studied everywhere, and they are just vases used to form a complete ceremony. And the last and last—human The study of the world, that is, practice. All the practice, our ideals, and our dreams, are slowly unfolding in New Antioch of Gran Colombia.”

"Then, she cracked?"

"Yes." Victoria sighed, "New Antioch condenses our dreams, but it is also the farthest from light. The realm of Constantinople is light and the world, and the realm of New Antioch is people and the world. Light and man are the two closest and farthest in the world. Whether to be dominated by light or by man, this is the most fundamental difference between Constantinople and New Antioch."

"Now, do you think the light should dominate?"

"No. Our eternal dream is that one day human beings no longer need the guidance of light, no longer need the intermediary of light, but rely on human beings' own power to understand the world. Helios Mithras responds to our dream And was born, he pursued this supreme goal just like us. That's why New Antioch was enshrined in the fantasy dream of the entire empire. It is the practice of all ideals, and all our achievements, technologies, and theories are put into practice in New Antioch. Therefore We built skyscrapers there, central gardens, and theaters, art galleries, where you can see all the good and beautiful things of human beings. But. "

"but?"

"People will die." Victoria said these three words slowly.
