Dragon Clan: Restart your life

Lu Mingfei's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the familiar name "Ouroboros".

This guy who had been hiding behind the scenes and had completely exposed the secrets of the Dragon Clan to the world not long ago actually started to contact them.

She appears to have confirmed her identity.

I don’t know whether this letter should be regarded as a reminder or a warning.

There is a lot of information about "meteorites" on it, which saves the equipment department time on detours and greatly speeds up their research process. From this point alone, the other party seems to come with good intentions, but the following two sentences are already She pointed at his nose and said, "Don't take a shit in the latrine, you bastard."

But the fact is that the crown cannot be given away just because it is given.

This is not a symbol of royal power on the king's head, but a restriction, a shackles, and an inescapable responsibility.

In his memory, he felt the illusory sea pressing on his head, a weight that even he could not completely break free from.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Lu Mingfei didn't pay much attention to Ouroboros's warning.

Just exposing the secrets of the dragon clan is enough for the secret party to settle accounts with him.

He looked up at the meteorite suspended in the sky without gravity, and the doubt in his mind evolved from "where did it come from" to "maybe it's a fake, it will always be a fake."

Assuming that the starting point of everything is illusory, then even if it is given a real existence later, is it real or false?

At this moment, Lu Mingfei had to think about a question raised by the Equipment Department——

Are there really four elements in this world?

He thought that maybe he could evolve this question, such as what is the foundation of the world?

Whether in the West or the East, ancient people have proposed that the foundation of the world is wind, fire, earth, water and other major elements. The difference is just one less and one more. There is no essential difference. Most of these statements are influenced by the world view of the Dragon Clan. .

To put it bluntly, human civilization itself is inherited from the dragon clan, because most of the top ones, the proud ones who laid the foundation for human civilization, are of mixed race.

In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, everything in the world is composed of four elements.

At the level of the first generation species, you can often see four kinds of colors flowing on the sky, earth and ocean, red fire, blue water, black earth and white sky.

Whether it is a storm or a crack in the ground, the essence is the flow of elements.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Dragon Clan, the world is naturally composed of four elements.

Or it can also be said that the former is the concretization of the latter, and it is a concretization that can be seen by everyone.

Human beings cannot see the flow of elements, but they can see the sweeping storm and feel the vibration under their feet.

As for the spiritual elements, the spirit of the first generation species is so powerful that it forms a barrier outside the body to automatically offset the same level of elemental changes, but they still cannot see the spiritual elements flowing in the air.

Including the four former high priests.

And Lu Mingfei and the others... they do have control over spiritual elements, but they cannot see the flow of spiritual elements between heaven and earth.

Spiritual elements do not flow between heaven and earth, but they still exist, and the carriers that carry them are highly intelligent creatures.

For example, humans, hybrids, or dragons.

Human beings also have spiritual elements, but they are so weak that they are negligible.

Some people equate spiritual elements with souls, but Lu Mingfei thinks there are some differences between the two.

Today the Equipment Department put forward a novel point of view. There are no four major elements in this world, or the four major elements are all differentiated from spiritual elements.

Lu Mingfei thought for a long time, but could not find any examples or evidence to deny this.

All elemental power starts from the elemental sea, so what is the elemental sea made of?

A purely spiritual element?

The sea of ​​illusion that suppressed him was the beginning of everything.

But if the elemental sea is really composed of pure spiritual elements, then who created it, and what is it that has supported it for thousands of years and never dried up?

Regarding the former, Lu Mingfei had a vague guess in his mind, but the second doubt had not been verified.

Perhaps the elemental sea itself is already powerful enough to last for tens of millions of years, and there is no need to continue its energy at all.

Or maybe the cycle of epochs is just a way for it to maintain its own operation?

While Lu Mingfei was thinking, the vice principal and Deputy Minister Karl on the other side were already discussing.

"Do you think the four elements do not exist in the world?"

"Yes! The spiritual element is the most fundamental!"

"Then how do you explain that we extracted the purest fire element from Constantine's bones? If the quantity of this thing is large enough, the explosion caused will be nuclear-level, and this is only the most superficial use."

"Remember the point I just mentioned? Our understanding of everything is limited by our own understanding, which can easily create a closed loop, and within the closed loop, the world will really become what we imagine. , so we will always live in our own world."

"Are you talking to me about philosophy or science?" the vice principal's eyes widened.

"There is a saying that the end of science is theology. Of course, the actual theology is just a more advanced science that we cannot understand for the time being. But as far as theology itself is concerned, I think it doesn't hurt to talk about philosophy." Deputy Minister Karl spread his hands.

"So you want to tell me that this world originally only had spiritual elements, but because humans believe that the world is made of wind, fire, earth, and water, the most original spiritual elements were separated into the four major elements in human cognition?"

The vice-principal's voice was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"What the hell is this, idealism? Aren't you supposed to be a group of staunch materialist fighters?"

Deputy Minister Karl shrugged: "It's too rude to say that. In fact, we have quite a few religious believers, including Christianity, Hinduism, Chinese Taoism, Shintoism, and the FFF Heresy Inquisition... They are very diverse. Our Ma Tu Researcher Er was once a staunch Hindu."

"Why once? And that member of the interrogation team is still single now, right?"

"Oh, Mathur was a participant in the last Tokyo incident. I don't know who said that the end of the world will be the Christian version rather than the Hindu version. He changed the door on the spot based on his original intention to enter heaven since he was a child, so He is now a devout Christian.”

"Ask him for me if he is interested in having sex with Satan. I happen to have some friendship with Satan. It would be a pity that people like him don't go to hell." The vice-principal said with an expressionless face.

As for who Mr. Satan is, the first person below God is Satan who is not Satan.

"Your guesses are too idealistic. According to what you said, that world could be completely false. It is someone's fantasy world. You are false, and I may be false. Only 'someone' is real. And he might just be an evil scientist kept in a tank filled with nutrient solution, or a student with puberty syndrome lying on the desk and dozing off, just waiting for a piece of chalk to hit him from the podium. The world is destroyed because he wakes up.”

The vice-principal whistled, vividly simulating the sound of a piece of chalk hitting his head.

He was suddenly stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Wait a minute, you made such an idealistic guess, why did you dare to say that your discovery is the best proof of the real existence of the world?"

The vice-principal raised his head and squinted at the meteorite. There were two meteorites in the hands of Kassel College. One was brought back from Egypt by Angers, and the other was from Pompeii.

He has also studied this thing, and another meteorite is in his exclusive research room.

But unfortunately, he found nothing, because the four major elements fell into silence around the meteorite, and alchemy was still a "science" based on the elements.

He could only confirm that this meteorite could emit a field similar to [Commandments], but he had no way to start with other aspects.

"Because of it." Deputy Minister Karl pointed to the meteorite above his head and whispered, "In fact, it does not suppress the four elements, it restrains the spiritual element. It was mentioned in the man's letter that around it, The spiritual elements extracted from the carrier will automatically solidify. We used two 0.1-gram Philosopher's Stones for experiments. When the crystal was destroyed, the spiritual elements solidified in it did not disperse, but reappeared in it. The solidification was completed instantly.”

The vice-principal frowned and said, "Whose Philosopher's Stone are you using?"

"The ones stored in the academy and those extracted from Constantine's skeleton." Deputy Minister Karl said, "The Philosopher's Stone extracted from Constantine's skeleton originally had red impurities. You once said that it was the element of fire. Symbolizing the power of the Lord of Bronze and Fire. But after resolidification, the red color disappeared and it became the purest spiritual element."

This shocked the vice principal.

The Philosopher's Stone extracted from the Constantine Dragon Bone is actually "impure" and is very different from ordinary Philosopher's Stone. For example, it cannot come into contact with oxygen, otherwise everything around it will explode at an explosive speed. Burning, because it is mixed with the purest fire element.

Alchemy cannot extract this pure fire element from it.

This is also the first time a hybrid has captured the element of fire.

In the field of alchemy, alchemists never worked on how to refine the element of fire because the spiritual element was more useful.

They also don't think the fire element is very useful. It exists in all kinds of flames and can be seen almost everywhere.

But the vice-principal knows very well that every element has its role, and the above statements are just harsh words from some colleagues, because the fire element cannot be captured and can escape at any time.

From this point of view, perhaps there are really no four elements in the world, because alchemists have spent thousands of years only finding ways to refine spiritual elements, and in theory, spiritual elements are still higher than the four elements.

It's like they got it right that three times three equals nine, but didn't know that three plus three equals six.

The Philosopher's Stone with fire element impurities extracted from the bones of Constantine made them think that only the bones of the Dragon King could refine such a crystal. It was not so much the element of fire as it was the power held by the Dragon Kings, a concept.

Neither existing science nor alchemy can fully explain it.

The only person who could possibly explain it was the Lord of Fire, but he was dead.

So when Karl said that the Philosopher's Stone with fire element impurities automatically purified the impurities after it was reorganized around the meteorite, the vice principal immediately realized the problem.

He can accept that there is something in this world that restrains the "spiritual element". The big boy in red underwear with the charming little curls on his forehead is also restrained by kryptonite. He just can't accept that it can be purified so easily. The fire element?

It's not that he hasn't tried, but there is no way to extract the pure fire element from it.

Also, what does purification mean, with the fire element gone?

He is a master in the field of alchemy and follows the principle of equivalent exchange. Modern science also teaches that energy is conserved.

The element will not disappear, never, it will only be lost from the current carrier. Theoretically, the total amount of elements remains unchanged, it just ran from a to b.

"Do you have a way to verify where the fire element has gone?" the vice principal asked, "Purification does not mean it has disappeared, maybe it just overflowed."

The last sentence the vice-principal said was not very confident.

Because once the fire element, which represents the concept of combustion, is exposed to the air, it will automatically give the order to burn and cannot disappear or disperse silently.

It is completely different from the fire element contained in the flame that may be lost at any time, and is closer to the concept itself.

"We didn't say it disappeared, it was just purified. This is also reasonable evidence to prove that the spiritual element is the essence, because this Philosopher's Stone is still 0.1 grams."

Vice Minister Karl gave an answer that made the vice principal's eyes wide open. It perfectly followed the law of conservation of energy.

The vice principal's breathing quickened.

This means that the fire element has indeed been purified. It has not disappeared, but has been transformed from a pure fire element into a pure spiritual element.

Can elements be transformed into each other?

This is a big question in the alchemical academic world, and no one has given a perfect answer yet.

But the Equipment Department seems to have given a perfect answer at this moment. At least the fire element can indeed be purified into a spiritual element.

But what’s the rationale behind it?

The vice-principal suddenly felt itchy. Alchemy was one of the few things he was interested in and passionate about. This was why the elders respected and were willing to tolerate his unconventional style.

What was before him now was one of the ultimate mysteries in the field of alchemy.

The most important thing about anything is always its most basic part.

Elements are the basis of the dragon clan's power, whether it's word spirit or alchemy.

The vice-principal rubbed his hands: "Where's Comrade Little Snake's letter? Bring it over and I'll study it."

"Comrade Little Snake?"

"Isn't it the magic snake?"

"oh oh."

While Vice Minister Karl went to get the letter, the vice principal whispered in Lu Mingfei's ear and asked: "Mingfei, can elements transform into each other?"

"Not as far as I know. The Dragon Clan has not studied this, and there is no need. If we need a certain element, it is all available in the world. We can just call it directly. There is no need to seek transformation between elements." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "There is another topic that I care about very much, about the proof of the real existence of the world, but you were led astray by him."

I went to visit the temple fair during the Lantern Festival yesterday, and I came back a little late, so I fell asleep before finishing coding last night. I quickly touched a fish this morning and drove this chapter out. I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival (fog)
