The so-called Dr. Nakabachi was standing on the podium and speaking confidently, but it seemed that because what he said was too confusing, almost no one in the audience paid attention to what he said.
The male protagonist sat in his seat bored, and Mayuri seemed to have lost the little robot just now, so she hurried to look for it.
On the other side, the male protagonist flipped through the book in his hand, suddenly widened his eyes, and then rushed to the podium angrily, shouting:
"Doctor! What's your theory of time machine? Kerr black hole! World line! Isn't this all plagiarism from John Titor? John Titor claimed that he had time traveled and published this theory in 2000. Don't tell me you don't know!!"
"How rude, of course I know! But don't confuse my theory with that kind of nonsense!"
"Then can you explain it? How is your theory different from his?"
All of a sudden, just as the hero was about to clash with Dr. Nakabachi, a red-haired girl suddenly appeared from behind him and pulled him away.
…
From the beginning to now, the overly messy narrative and large number of characters make the audience extremely confused.
But even so, people still grasped the point of this movie—a time machine!
"What is this story about? To be honest, I still don't understand what it's about."
"It's not that hard to understand. Although I don't know what will happen next, to put it simply, the protagonist attends a conference on the invention of a time machine and comes into conflict with the inventor."
"Time machine, what is this?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of such a thing before."
"There doesn't seem to be any special powers in this world view. Could it be that this movie doesn't have any fighting content?"
"Eh? That's too boring, I'm going to fall asleep..."
"… "
Various voices were heard in major movie theaters in the South. Most of the audience showed disappointed expressions at this moment. It was obvious that they did not expect that this movie would be so lacking in highlights.
After all, even "FateZero", after ending the overly long explanation and setting session at the beginning, immediately started the exciting battle plot, giving the audience visual and auditory enjoyment.
This time, "Steins;Gate" seems unable to experience this feeling.
On the other hand, King Hubbard and the knights were also very confused as they watched the plot so far. They did not expect that the movie that Durin would shoot this time would have such content, which was completely confusing.
"Who is the protagonist of this film? A magician? A scholar?"
Wilhelm also said with a little confusion about the king’s confusion:
"It seems that the protagonist is a scholar, but in the end, he is different. The scholars in this story are different from the scholars in our world who study literature, history, religion, heraldry and other classical knowledge. The field they study is closer to the level of magic..."
"Scholars studying magic? I feel like there's something a little weird about that..."
Wilhelm was also confused by Knight Commander Wycliffe’s words.
After all, for the people in this world, scholars in their common sense are those who study cultural allusions. These people are very influential in the aristocratic circles, but that's all.
When it comes to matters that truly concern the future development of the empire, ordinary scholars ultimately have no say.
In this regard, both magicians and the church have far more influence than scholars. After all, the former have the power to protect the human race, while the latter have influence among the vast majority of the people.
If a scholar wants to have a greater influence, he must either be welcomed by a big shot and become his aide, or suddenly awaken his magical talent and become a powerful magician.
Otherwise, no real big shot would even look up at him.
Right now, these people who seem to be scholars in the movie are talking about topics similar to those of magicians, which makes people in this world feel extremely weird no matter how they look at it.
Similarly, the orc prophet nearby was also looking at the movie scenes strangely, and also did not understand the scenes in the movie.
After all, in the Orc Kingdom, since the average IQ of most orcs is below the normal level, those who are qualified to be scholars are usually a very small number of shamans with magical talents. However, since they all have magical talents, they will naturally become magicians instead of scholars.
Orcs who have no magical talent usually become warriors directly due to their racial talent. They would not waste their time and become scholars reading books out of boredom.
This resulted in the profession of scholar not existing at all in the Orc Kingdom.
It is naturally even more difficult for the orc prophet to understand the many descriptions of similar scholars in the movie.
…
While the audience in the cinema expressed their opinions on the content of the movie, the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy also broke out into heated discussions.
They originally thought that this film would be about the story of a magician, but they didn't expect that it was actually a film about scholars. The most important thing was that the topic these scholars were studying was actually the time machine, something that even the Tower of Magicians had not made any progress on in thousands of years!
"What the hell is this? That Dr. Chubachi is just an ordinary person, right? How did he develop something like a time machine?"
"Yes, yes. Ever since time was classified as a special element by the Mage Tower, countless magicians have tried to see through the mystery of time and have conducted countless researches in this field. However, apart from the great sage who invented the magic of teleportation, no one has been able to make the slightest progress."
"Even the great sage himself did not publish any specific research theory on time. At the end of his life, he was still desperately conducting experiments, but he got nothing."
"This Steins;Gate doesn't seem to be that rigorous and magical."
“I don’t understand what this movie is about anymore.”
At the same time when the ordinary magicians were discussing, on a higher platform of the Imperial Magic Academy, the lecturers and professors were also engaged in a heated discussion, and the criticism was directed at Durin who was right next to them.
"Du Lin, what are you filming? If you say this is a group of magicians studying time theory, that's fine, but why did you bring out a bunch of ordinary scholars?"
"Yes, yes, what can ordinary scholars study? It's better to let these guys go back and read their saintly classics."
"After making a few good movies, you've become arrogant, haven't you? Have you thrown away all the rigor and magic of the plot?!"
"… "
In response to the harsh accusations from the lecturers and professors, Du Lin just stood there calmly.
After everyone had finished speaking, he smiled and said:
"Are you all done? I have no intention of refuting your ideas. After all, this is the movie I want to make. I can only say that it's up to you to watch it or not."
"you… "
No one expected that a newly graduated student like Durin would be so arrogant. Many lecturers and professors of the Imperial Academy of Magic widened their eyes, and they were all obviously angry.
But then, they suddenly realized that the person standing in front of them was a great magician.
Yes, since Durin seldom displayed his magical talent after joining the Alchemy Tower, most of the lecturers and professors present almost forgot his true strength. In comparison, most of them were just high-level magicians, a whole level lower than Durin.
Not to mention that Du Lin is now the dean of the magic alchemy department.
In fact, it is true. With Durin's current status, if the great sages from the highest level of the Mage Tower came, he would still act a little timid. But when facing the many high-level magicians, he was too lazy to even pretend and started to confront them directly.
After all, this is a magical world. There is no need to talk about seniority and inferiority in the face of the real gap in strength. There is no need for Du Lin to give face to these ordinary lecturers and professors.
Of course, not all the lecturers present were high-level magicians. Sterridge, who was in the distance, came forward as a great magician of the same level and asked:
"I think you should explain the meaning of this story a little more, Durin. After all, it feels a bit strange to use a scholar without magical talent as the protagonist..."
In response to Stirridge's gentle remarks, Du Lin nodded and said:
"You don't have to worry about the rigor of the story of Steins;Gate. Every plot in it has its meaning and necessity. As for whether the connotation is rigorous, this still needs to be combined with the story background of the story itself. You don't even know what the world in the story of Steins;Gate looks like, why are you so eager to deny everything?"
"this… "
After hearing Du Lin's speech, the lecturers and professors present were stunned.
After all, there is nothing wrong with what Du Lin said, and the movie "Steins;Gate" has indeed just begun.
Their performance just now seemed to be too reckless and difficult.
Therefore, all the magicians present shut their mouths immediately and watched the movie quietly, wondering how the movie would unfold unexpectedly next.
Chapter 185: Steins;Gate Released! (Part 3)
Chapter 185
The top of the Mage's Tower.
The great sages are now discussing the content of the movie.
"Time. There is not much relevant information in the forbidden library of the Mage Tower. For thousands of years, human magicians have made almost no exploration in this area."
In response to Dean Hohenheim's speech, Pollock, the great sage of the special elements discipline, immediately said:
"It's not that there is no possibility. The founder who invented teleportation magic once wrote in his last notes that time and space are similar but completely different concepts. Perhaps as long as we reach the end of space, we can see through the mystery of time."
"To the end of space? Does it mean the maximum distance of space teleportation magic?"
"I don't know the details. After all, even for me, the farthest distance of space magic is only within the empire. If you want to perform space magic that crosses the continent, I'm afraid you need to surpass the sixth level to do it."
"In this case, the mystery of time is probably still far beyond our reach?"
"Maybe, but after all, no one has ever come across a similar concept. Maybe in this world, there is a creature that can release time magic as easily as eating and drinking?"
"Well, if there is, then it's basically a god, right?"
The great sages exchanged their views in this way.
Even for many great sages who have reached the pinnacle of a certain field of magic, time magic is still a concept that is like seeing flowers in the fog and is impossible to understand.
Although the great sage who created the magic of teleportation once classified time into the elements and regarded it as one of the special elements, most magicians do not study it at all. Even if someone has done research on it, most of them will return empty-handed in the end.
Although the theoretical possibility of a time machine had been proposed, it was ultimately proven to be impossible, just like the perpetual motion machine.
Because, although there is no concept of time paradox, or grandmother paradox, in this world, magicians can easily see through the irrationality of time travel.
If you go back in time and kill your grandparents before your father is born, then when your grandparents die, your father will be gone, and when your father is gone, you will not be born.
So, who killed your grandmother
This easily conceivable paradox makes most magicians believe that manipulating time and changing history is something that cannot be accomplished even in imagination.
So, when Du Lin tried to explain the concept of time machine in the new movie, even many great sages did not think it was possible to realize it.
…
In the movie, the protagonist of "Steins;Gate" was dragged to the corner of the corridor by the red-haired girl.
Facing this strange girl who wore a coat in a strange way and whose identity was unknown, the male protagonist asked in surprise:
"Who are you?"
"That's what I was going to ask!"
"What did you say?!"
"You wanted to say something to me just now, right?"
"just?"
"About 15 minutes ago."
"What are you talking about?"
The male protagonist's confusion deepened, but then he suddenly reacted and said loudly:
"Are you Makise... Kurisu? The one who published a paper in a top magazine before?"
"I'm surprised you know which laboratory he is from?"
Facing Makise Kurisu's slightly troubled look, the male protagonist suddenly said in surprise:
"Are you a spy sent by the agency?"
"ah?"
"It's me. I was caught by a spy from the agency. Ah, the one called Makise Kurisu."
"What are you talking about on your phone? Are you talking to someone?"
"Yeah, no problem, just a spy, I will definitely overcome this situation..."
Faced with the male protagonist's nervous look, the girl snatched the phone from his hand, but was surprised to find that it was not turned on at all.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Makise Kurisu's confusion, the male protagonist was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and said loudly:
“Special…Specially, let me tell you, this is a special phone that will automatically cut off its power supply when anyone except me touches it, hehe, hehe, hahahahahahaha!”
"Really? So you were just talking to yourself."
"… "
"Anyway, let me make it short. What did you want to tell me just now? About fifteen minutes ago, you suddenly had a very worried expression on your face."
"… "
It was impossible to understand what the girl suddenly said. After all, the male protagonist was sure that he had never seen her before.
After thinking about it, he realized that the other party might be a middle school student like himself who "lives in the spiritual world", so he said happily:
