Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 302 Ability on Page
When he once again came to the depths of his heart and saw the Emerald Book, Purficott's heart no longer had the same excitement as before, but instead felt a dull feeling.

Just like most things in this world, once you experience it more, you won't feel that there is anything worth fussing about, but it will become more and more ordinary.

"You're here." Cuiyulu greeted Purficott.

"I'm here." Purficott also responded to the greeting of the book of artifacts, and then came to it, and asked the Jade Record: "I should be able to open a new page, right? This time What's new?"

This may be Purficott's greatest expectation for Jade Record.

Compared with the technology on each page, the new functions that Jade Record can unlock are what attracts Perfectcott the most.

She has not forgotten that the last time she came, Cuiyulu told her that Page 7's ability was "omniscience" and that she could acquire all the alchemical knowledge that Perfection wanted to know in the world.

If she had this function now, let alone building a city in the sky, it would not be difficult to build a huge dome and artificially create a utopia like spring all year round in the apocalyptic winter.

For Purficott, it was knowledge, not creativity, that limited her.

As the so-called "terrible erect ape", "eight billion mad dogs", "P Society war criminals" and "a black hole above the neck", Purficott really has no shortage of plans to deal with this kind of apocalyptic disaster.

After all, until now, including the page she was about to unlock, she had only opened four pages of the Jade Record.

It has to be said that the Jade Record is worthy of being called an artifact. Although this book does not provide much help to Perficott at first glance, in fact, Perficott’s current achievements are largely due to Jade. record.

The entire Jade Record has a total of thirteen pages, and each page represents a powerful ability.

What she lacks is the skills, whether technological or alchemical, to put these plans into practice.

After all, the abilities the book gave her enhanced her abilities as an alchemist to a considerable degree.

The identification on the first page allowed Purficott to identify and understand all alchemical creations, giving her the ability to recognize everything.

The optimization of the third page may not seem as exaggerated as the first two abilities, but it allows Purficott to refine and improve his design, thereby creating a more perfect work.

The analysis on the second page allows Purficott to understand and analyze various alchemical creations based on identification, so as to continuously learn new alchemical knowledge.

It can be said that just these three abilities are enough to make her the greatest alchemist of this era.

Therefore, the so-called "omniscience" of Jade Record has great appeal to Purficott, but it is obvious that the seventh page is not something she can hope to unlock now.

So Purficott was very curious about what kind of new abilities the new page would have, and what kind of changes and impacts it would bring to her.

Faced with Purficott's curiosity, Cuiyulu also answered happily: "The ability of the fourth page is deduction. Its function is to show you the possibility of a technology."

"Deduction?" Purficott showed a slightly confused expression, but then he understood the function of this ability. At first glance, the deduction on the fourth page and the optimization on the third page seem to be very similar. They are both improvements based on the original technology or design.

But if you break it down, you will understand that the difference between the two is still very big.

Optimization is based on the improvement and improvement of the existing design. It is still based on the design itself and will not exceed the boundaries of the original design.

For a simple example, just like Purficott optimized the design of the steam engine. If she was optimizing based on a piston steam engine, then no matter how Purficott optimized, the final product would always be a piston steam engine.

Even if the steam engine she finally optimized was a steam engine that could launch rockets into space, it would still be a piston type and would not be optimized into a steam turbine.

But the deduction was different. Even if Perficott used the earliest Hero steam ball, she could deduce a piston steam engine, a turbine steam engine, and even a disc steam engine that had never been born in the original world.

What was obtained through the deduction was the future possibility of steam engine technology.

"I understand. I have to say that this is a very powerful ability." Perhaps the deduction is not optimized in the eyes of some people, but Purficott can deeply feel the terrifying potential of this ability.

What are you most afraid of in scientific research? It’s not that the project is unpopular, the subject is difficult, or the experimental process is complicated.

It is comparable to drawing characters with no UP in a mixed pool with no guarantee. You have no idea how many times you have to draw to win, or even whether the character you want to draw is in the pool.

To put it more directly, you don’t know whether the direction of your research is correct, and even if you find the right direction, you don’t know how much time and how many experiments it will take to get results.

This ability of deduction can directly anchor the originally uncertain research direction, and can also display the results of known or unknown research directions, eliminating the most time-consuming and labor-intensive experimental prizes. part.

Although Purficott's description may not be accurate, deduction is indeed such a way that can save the most boring and complicated parts of the research and get to the core of the problem.

As long as a new technology can be developed, we can use deduction capabilities to innovate based on this technology and quickly iterate the technology, thereby accelerating the development of science and technology.

Even if this ability can only be used in alchemy, it is still very terrifying.

It can be said that if Purficott can use this ability properly, then the floating city she was so excited about before will really be able to float over the North in a short period of time.

Of course, the floating city Purficott has always been built, but her real concern is the social problems caused by the construction of the floating city.

However, this problem cannot be solved by technology. In other words, if we restrict the development of technology because of such social problems, this may be another sense of failure.

But no matter what, Purficott will not build things like floating cities or flying battleships for the time being, even if she has such technology, she will not do it.

This is not about considering social issues, but what she explained to the old men in the military department. Human beings do not have the extra resources to do these things. They should solve the survival problems of most people first, and then consider these things after they have more energy.
