From the trash cans on the side of the street to the huge projections on the buildings, and even the architectural style design along the street, they are all completely different from the native designs of this world.
All of this is to create a feeling of the future world.
In a sense, for people of this era, this can already be called a "science fiction" blockbuster.
As expected, the audience at this time has been completely attracted by the strong sense of "science fiction" in the movie, and everyone has begun to discuss whether such a world is possible to exist and whether the world may become like this in the future.
Unlike ordinary people who seem to be more interested in the details of the "science fiction" style, King Hubbard's focus from beginning to end was on the TV.
After all, unlike other, more obviously fantastical things, he knew that television was a product that already existed and had great potential to influence the world.
As the supreme ruler of this country, he had to be absolutely sensitive to the existence of various emerging things, because these were very likely to affect the entire empire, including the royal family.
"The use of television may in some ways be beyond my imagination."
King Hubbard sighed with emotion as images of a possible future emerged in his mind.
On the side, General Wilhelm also nodded seriously and said:
"Yes, although we can't feel it now, if this kind of machine can really enter thousands of households and allow everyone to watch the same program, the influence it will produce will be unparalleled."
"Well, and it's more than that. Nowadays, Baron Durin only uses television to play movies, which makes us think that television is only used for entertainment. But according to the description in this movie, the greatest significance of television is actually a channel for disseminating news on a large scale, which is the so-called concept of news."
King Hubbard sighed and continued:
"In the past, the public was not very sensitive to all kinds of news. Even the biggest events would be difficult for most people to know without being passed down one level at a time. Movies, as a thing that brings together large numbers of people, have greatly accelerated the process of news transmission, and TV pubs have made this transmission more detailed. However, these are not as good as the impact of bringing television into thousands of households. Once television really appears on a large scale, the speed at which the public receives news will be an instantaneous process, which will become a kind of thing that can change everyone's thinking as a whole..."
After much thought, King Hubbard still did not utter the word.
But General Wilhelm understood the meaning of the unspoken word.
arms!
When something like television can be deployed to a certain extent, it will become an invisible weapon to destroy any enemy.
No country can afford this kind of war, which can almost be described as a dimensionality reduction attack.
The destructive power of television is so terrifying, like a candy mixed with poison. If no one restrains it, its influence will be enormous.
It is obvious that most people at the moment do not see through the destructive power behind the television. Even the orc prophet on the side only vaguely feels the convenience brought by instant messaging.
Only very few people realize that any props that can change the times often first produce amazing destructive power that is enough to destroy the old era!
…
Imperial School of Magic.
Many magicians feel even more deeply about the various details of the movie, because the "science fiction" future depicted by Du Lin is, in a sense, the daily life of magicians.
Whether it is various convenient facilities, instant information transmission, or even convenient transportation, they are all normal things for magicians.
However, the world in the movie is obviously not a world of magicians. In fact, there is no "magician" in the orthodox sense in the entire movie.
However, the influence of "magic" is everywhere in this movie.
This feeling is quite strange for any magician.
Of course, in addition to feeling this weirdness, for most magicians, the almost weird plot design in the movie is also something they care about very much.
"What happened to Okabe Rintaro? Is the empty space that appeared just now really normal?"
"Perhaps Okabe Rintaro was attacked by spiritual magic at that time?"
"It seems that there is no magic in this world view?"
"How do you explain that strange scene at that moment? And most importantly, when Okabe Ryotaro asked the others later, everything that happened changed."
"Yes, yes, we all saw Okabe Rintaro attend the press conference, and even saw Makise Kurisu's death, how come all of a sudden they all disappeared."
"Thinking about it carefully... At that time, Okabe Ryutaro seemed to have received a very strange email on his mobile phone. Was it because of that email?"
"To be honest, although this first episode doesn't seem to talk about much, the amount of information contained in it is so overwhelming that I can't make sense of it at all."
"Yes, yes, if all this is just Okabe Ryutaro suffering a mental attack, causing mental disorder, and everything before is just his imagination, then it's simple."
"But this doesn't make sense. If this is the case, the plot design is too simple."
"… "
The magicians' voices of discussion continued to ring out, and most of them were very interested in the plot of "Steins;Gate" so far.
After all, magicians are the people in this world who love and are best at solving mysteries. The strong puzzle-solving style at the beginning of "Steins;Gate" makes everyone eager to try and see the truth behind these complicated events.
Compared with ordinary students who are immersed in thinking, the behavior of lecturers and professors on the platform is different.
They went straight to Du Lin, wanting to get the answer from him.
"You guys are also..."
Unexpectedly, these guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually wanted to copy the correct answers directly. Du Lin immediately glanced at them and then said:
“The overall relevance of the story of Steins;Gate is very strong. Each of the previous plots is foreshadowing the later plots. If you know the answer now, your expectations will be gone.”
"this… "
After hearing Du Lin's speech, many lecturers blushed and dispersed without asking any more questions.
Although Gebulun knew the entire plot of the previous part, he still said in confusion:
"Du Lin, there are really many things in your previous plot that are difficult to understand. Although I know why these things appear, they have caused more confusion."
"Well, it's only natural that this would happen, because all the information in the first half will be answered in the second half."
"What about the sequel?"
"In my head."
“Fuck!”
Geblun sighed helplessly and finally said nothing more.
At the moment, Scar is extremely devoted to the entire movie. All the scenes described in the movie are like scenes in his dreams, dreams that he once fantasized about but never realized.
"It would be nice if such a world really existed."
As one of the only two cutting-edge explorers of magical alchemy today, Scar obviously cannot long to see the scenes in the movie become reality.
In this regard, Du Lin also said with emotion:
"It will definitely exist. If it doesn't exist, we will definitely create it!"
As Du Lin spoke, he once again made up his mind, which he had long missed.
Chapter 187: Steins;Gate Released! (V)
Chapter 187
At the top of the Mage's Tower, the sages were also amazed by the sci-fi movie details, but these details did not give them much feeling except making them wonder whether magic could really be applied to everyone in the future.
After all, when magic power reached its peak, the environment they lived in was already far ahead of this era.
At this moment, the great sages who saw the content of the movie were more concerned about the confusing plot in the movie.
Obviously, even they don't understand why the plot of the movie develops like this.
"Why do you think there is a difference between the protagonist's memory and reality?"
In response to Dean Hohenheim's speech, many great sages gave their own opinions after thinking about it.
"I think the protagonist's memory may have been manipulated. Although generally speaking, this is very difficult to do, the story in this movie is set in an imaginary world, so no matter what happens, it won't be surprising."
"Yeah, I think so too. Otherwise it can't explain the fact that everything in my memory is completely different from reality."
"Why do you think there's something wrong with the protagonist's memory? Since there's a difference between memory and reality, maybe there's something wrong with reality?"
"Well, I've thought about your idea, but it's really hard to imagine. After all, what kind of thing would it take for the whole world to turn upside down in an instant?"
"Yes, and the most important thing is that everyone except the male protagonist has normal memories. They even remember what the male protagonist said. Only the male protagonist's memory is messed up. Do you think this makes sense?"
"Wasn't there an empty street before? Maybe it was at that moment that the protagonist's memory became confused."
"That's right, I also support this view."
When faced with the choice between the protagonist's memory and reality, many great sages chose the protagonist's memory. After all, this is more reasonable and easier to accept.
Dean Hohenheim thought about this and suddenly said:
"I think that might not be the case."
"oh?"
In response to his words, the other great sages looked over, obviously wanting to know what insights he could come up with.
Dean Hohenheim sorted out his words and said slowly:
"Do you remember the huge machine that suddenly appeared on the roof? In the protagonist's memory, the machine did not crash into the roof, but landed smoothly on the roof. On the contrary, when the protagonist's memory was confused, the machine in reality directly smashed the edge of the roof. Isn't the difference here too subtle?"
"That's why it's enough to prove that there's something wrong with the protagonist's memory."
"Well, but what if we think about it this way? Because the giant machine crashed into the roof, the press conference was suspended, causing the protagonist to not attend the press conference, so that everything in the protagonist's memory did not happen, but everything in reality appeared. On the other hand, if the giant machine did not crash into the roof, the press conference would go smoothly, the protagonist would attend the press conference, and everything that happened in the memory would happen..."
"you mean?"
Upon hearing Dean Hohenheim's conjecture, many great sages were stunned for a moment, and then they all felt horrified.
In response, Dean Hohenheim simply spoke slowly:
"Anyway, since Durin said this was a story about 'magic', we might as well speculate as much as possible. Perhaps, this time we can really see through a little bit of the mystery of time from this story."
Dean Hornham's speech made all the great sages nod their heads. These magicians, who were at the pinnacle of humanity, finally put aside their arrogance and looked at the story with a calm and decisive eye.
…
The plot of the movie "Steins;Gate" continues.
As the protagonist Okabe Rintaro put everything that happened during the day behind him, he began to communicate with the members of the research society.
In addition, Okabe Rintaro took out a strange machine and said he was going to conduct an experiment that would shake the world.
Of course, in reality, what he called the experimental material was just an oven that could heat things.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the signal of this oven is connected to Rintaro Okabe's mobile phone, and the oven can be started by sending an email through the mobile phone.
"Come on, let's start our experiment!"
As he spoke, Okabe Rintaro first put a banana in the oven and sent a text message to start the oven.
However, after the experiment, the banana simply became distorted due to the heat, and nothing special happened.
“It is indeed so.”
With a sigh, this experiment ended here.
The next day, Okabe Rintaro and Hashida Shigeki went to the university to attend a lecture.
Arriving at the university, Okabe Rintaro just stepped into the elevator and recalled the strange events that happened before. He suddenly remembered that in his memory he seemed to have sent an email to Hashida saying that Makise Kurisu had been assassinated.
Thinking of this, he immediately snatched the phone from Hashida Shigeki's hand and checked the text messages one by one regardless of the other party's objection.
"You are invading my privacy!!"
"Never mind that. I sent you a text message before, right?"
"ah?"
"Did you receive the text message about Makise Kurisu being assassinated?"
"You mean the one sent last week?"
"Last week?"
Unable to comprehend all this, as far as Okabe Rintaro's memory was concerned, this text message had clearly been sent yesterday.
Soon, Okabe Rintaro successfully found the text message he sent in the mailbox of Hashida's mobile phone last week, which made his expression suddenly filled with horror.
"The email was sent to the past?"
After saying this, the two of them had already arrived at the designated floor via the elevator, and after the elevator opened, the red-haired girl leaning against the wall, Makise Kurisu, appeared outside!
…
"This... What is going on?"
"Isn't she dead?"
"Why... How did you come back to life?"
