The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

301. Plagueis' Research (Part 1)

During the following period of time, Tang Xiao was completely immersed in the research of Darth Plagueis. He read the manuscript left by Plagueis several times.

The knowledge recorded in it is simply shocking. If it is discovered by the Jedi Knights, then these studies can be said to be absolutely taboo!

Judging from the content of the research, Darth-Plagueis has really touched the most taboo side of the Force-creating life!

And Darth Plagueis also has a very detailed research on the carrier of the Force-the midi-plasma. This research can be said to be unique in the entire galaxy, and it is absolutely not seen even in the collection of the Jedi Temple.

Regarding the origin of the Force, one of the statements that both Jedi Knights and Sith agree on is the existence of Midi-chlorians (the old version is translated as Midi-chlorians).

Mycoplasma is a kind of organism that exists in the microcosm. Every cell in the body of a normal person contains about 1000 to 2500 microcosms. And the higher the density of the midiplasm, the closer the connection between this person and the Force. Generally, the density of a Jedi Knight's midiplasm is about 5,000 to 10,000 per cell. If the density of the midiplasm exceeds 15,000, it can basically be said to be a creature with pure force.

And the midiplasm is closely connected with life, when a person dies, the midiplasm in his body will also dissipate.

Through the fibrils in the body, people can sense and use the original force. Of course, if the density of the mitoplasma is too low, there will be no response to this induction, or even if there is a response, it will be very subtle and undetectable at all.

There are two different theories, one is that midiplasms were created by the Force to serve as bridges between organisms and the Force. Another way of saying is that the midi-plasma itself has the ability to perceive the force, and the use of the midi-plasma is the utilization of the force.

Obviously, Darth-Plagueis is a supporter of the latter statement, and it is also the direction of his research.

In Darth Plagueis's manuscript "A New Exploration of the Force", the first sentence is: "The Jedi consider the operation of the Force to be mysterious, great, inducible, and discoverable. Yes, such a statement is an admission of their own ignorance. Any mystical power can be explained by the ever-expanding knowledge, with unremitting efforts. As we do in the Assembly of the Republic, which is the foundation of the Republic, And the Force is the foundation of the Jedi Knight..."

For this sentence, Tang Xiao's understanding is that Plagueis believes that the Jedi Knights put on the mysterious coat of the Force in order to maintain their transcendent status, so if this coat can be taken off, then the foundation of the Jedi Knights will be no longer exists. And Sidious did the same thing - using Parliament's own authority to strike down the Republic.

Plagueis's manuscript is full of annotations, and these annotations are more than once, and some key places are even annotated more than ten times, so Plagueis had to attach many pages to the manuscript, so that These manuscripts look more cluttered.

And through the research on the manuscripts and annotations, it is equivalent to going through the thinking mode of Plagueis's research over the years. This is the most precious part of these manuscripts! These manuscripts, even a glimpse, are definitely a felony in the hands of the Jedi Knights, and this is definitely not a joke.

After Tang Xiao's reading, he understood that Plagueis's research on the Force can be highly summarized as "Trinity".

He believes that the force is composed of three parts, infinite (the aperion [Note 1]), soul (the anima) and spirit (and the pneumonia).

Infinity represents the Unifying Force, which contains all the energy in the universe;

The soul represents the Living Force, the birth and foundation of all life;

Spirit represents the conscious thought as expressed in the Force, the consciousness of all things.

Plagueis believes that as long as he can start from these three aspects, he will be able to decipher the mysteries of life and the force, thereby directly creating life, and even allowing himself to achieve eternal life.

Because midiplasms are the essence of thousands of creatures in the galaxy, as long as he can master them, he is omnipotent.

According to the records in the manuscript, Darth Plagueis conducted an experiment about 10 years ago. He contacted the spirit of the creatures in the entire galaxy through the resonance of the midiplasm, and then set off a burst of chaos all over the galaxy through the powerful force. Tidal hopes to create a life of the force through this.

However, the result of the experiment was nothing. Darth Sidious was there at the time. The two waited for a few days and found that there was no change in the force, so they considered the experiment a failure. But Plagueis carefully recorded the results of this experiment. Later, because he was worried that such a large movement would be discovered by the Jedi Knights, this kind of experiment was never done again.

Tang Xiao's heart was pounding when he saw this, because if we judge it according to the time, 10 years ago happened to be the birth time of the son of heaven, Anakin Skywalker!

Anakin-Skywalker has no father, it was conceived out of thin air by his mother, Shmi-Skywalker, and Tang Xiao also knew that if he went to check the density of the midiplasm in Anakin-Skywalker's body, the number would be terrifying. 20000! !

If the density of midiplasm exceeds 15,000, it can be said to be a life of pure force, while Anakin's density exceeds 20,000. This number really has no other adjectives except horror.

He remembered that there was a saying before that the birth of Anakin Skywalker actually originated from Darth Plagueis's experiment of using the force to create life. But such a statement is still untenable. No matter how talented Darth Plagueis is, the gap between him and Anakin-Skywalker is still very huge. He has no ability to create Anakin-Skywalker. The presence.

Darth Plagueis also wrote a special manuscript for the statement of the Chosen One, which shows that he also has a lot of research. After all, this is a very old Force prophecy, and perhaps related to the life and death of the Jedi Order and Sith.

Plagueis first thought that the term "prophecy" was nonsense, it was just a conclusion drawn by the sages through observation of the way and laws of the operation of the force, and there was no need to talk so mysteriously.

In other words, it's like a weather forecast. I observe the changes in the airflow to predict the weather, and this prediction is the same. Plagueis believes that as long as he can control the midi-plasma, the Chosen One is nothing more than an insignificant thing.

[Note 1: Aperion is a Greek word that means unlimited and infinite, which means infinite. Here, I would like to thank the book friend General Kalani for his support and the southern soldiers for their great answers. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to explain this. 】

PS: These two chapters are so difficult to write! ! As for the concept of the Force, I tried to cover as little as possible in the previous chapters, just because I was worried that everyone would feel dizzy after reading it. However, after 300 chapters, I believe that everyone has already had some substitutions for this world, so at this time I still start from Let me explain to you what the Force is from the perspective of Darth Plagueis.

After all, this set of theories is also the strength foundation of the protagonist Tang Xiao in the future, because he will be the orthodox heir of Darth Plagueis.
