"Although the hypothetical inference explains the generation mechanism of the spell, it cannot explain the most fundamental source of energy, that is, the issue of energy conservation.
Energy neither creates nor disappears out of thin air. It can only be transferred from one object to another, and the forms of energy can be converted into each other.
If the effect, power, and energy of a spell come from mana and free energy elements, then where does the energy in the free energy elements come from
As high-sequence superheavy elements, their decay time may be greatly extended due to the "island of stability", but it is impossible for them to exist stably for hundreds or thousands of years like iron and carbon. If they existed in nature in the first place, they would have completely decayed and disappeared long ago.
But in the previous process of out-of-body meditation, we could see that there were a lot of free energy elements, and they could also be 'generated out of thin air'.
But 'generating out of thin air' is not without reason.
There are only two ways for a new element to appear, either by fusion synthesis of low-sequence elements, or by decay of high-sequence elements.
For free energy elements, the latter approach can basically be eliminated, because high-sequence elements exist for a shorter time. If you want to continuously produce free energy elements, you must ensure that there is a continuous flow of higher-sequence elements to decay. So how are higher sequence elements produced? It still requires fusion synthesis of low-sequence elements.
Therefore, free energy elements are derived from the fusion of low-sequence elements. The specific situation of fusion is not yet known. It should be different from the uncontrollable nuclear fusion of hydrogen bombs on modern earth, and it is a gentler and more natural form.
But no matter what, one thing cannot be changed. This process of producing high-sequence superheavy elements from low-sequence elements requires the absorption of energy, or the use of external energy to achieve the conditions required for fusion.
Just like the modern hydrogen bomb on Earth, if you want to successfully detonate the hydrogen bomb for uncontrolled nuclear fusion, you need to load nearly one atomic bomb inside the hydrogen bomb. Only the explosion of an atomic bomb can create the environment required for nuclear fusion and detonate a hydrogen bomb. This is also the reason why if you want to develop hydrogen bomb technology, you must first develop atomic bomb technology.
So in the current world, low-sequence elements are used to produce free energy elements through unknown fusion methods. Where does the energy that needs to be absorbed come from
One guess is radiation.
Just like in the decay process, when high-sequence elements decay into low-sequence elements, there will be a high radiation reaction and energy will be released outward. Fusion, as a reverse decay in a sense, changing from low-sequence elements to high-sequence elements, also requires the absorption of energy through radiation.
Where does the radiation come from
Radiation comes from anywhere.
In fact, radiation, as a form of energy, is different from common sense. It is not rare. Radioactive nuclides, such as uranium series elements, such as actinium, may exist in every corner of the world, such as the earth, mountains, rivers, caves, etc. series elements, such as thorium series elements. Even in the human body, there is radionuclide-40K.
Of course, the most important radiation comes from the universe and from stars.
Just as the energy of the modern earth comes from the sun, the energy of the current world also comes from the sun. However, the difference is that according to the out-of-body observation of meditation, it is not only the sun that plays a role alone, but also the many stars and stars that exist around the current planet seem to be able to project radiation.
Is this what so-called 'astral projection' really means
Maybe, maybe not. But there is a great possibility that it is the projection of these star energies that gives low-sequence elements the conditions to synthesize free energy elements, thus continuously producing free energy elements.
When the free energy elements are ingested, they will react quickly during the process of releasing the spell. While showing a special state (spell effect), they will quickly decay back to the original low-sequence ordinary elements and release them. Energy, this energy is the energy of 'astral projection'.
The ordinary elements that have been transformed into will absorb enough energy projected from the stars one day and turn into free energy elements again, and then be consumed and restored to ordinary elements. This is a cycle of elements, as well as a cycle of energy and matter.
All in all, in short, the most fundamental energy of magic actually comes from astral projection, from the energy projected by many special stars in the current world universe.
In other words, the wizard is just using the energy of distant stars to release spells.
The energy of these stars is obviously not inexhaustible, just like the sun only has a lifespan of 10 billion years. These stars that can perform star projection may exist for a long time, but they will end sooner or later. Life, ending the process of star projection.
By that time, the free energy elements will be completely unable to be produced and will completely disappear from the world. The era of wizards' spells ended, and the era of magic-free came, which became what the modern earth looks like. "
"Sand...sand."
The quill stopped and Richard stood up. With his eyes flashing, he stepped out of the study, walked to the yard outside, and looked up at the night sky.
With the naked eye, the special stars that cannot be seen at this time and can only be seen in the meditative state can only be seen as an ordinary sea of stars, which looks no different from the modern earth. In fact, it is very likely that this sea of stars will eventually become exactly like the modern earth.
The current world, in a sense, is really similar to the earth.
Richard was thinking.
When he pointed out the North Star to Pandora in the forest, he used the judgment of the stars to determine that the current world should actually be around 2100 AD on modern Earth, which is the future.
But it should also be remembered that the changes in Polaris are cyclical and will repeat every Platonic year in astrology, that is, every 25,800 years.
The current world may be 2100 AD on modern Earth, but it may also be a point in time 25,800 years ago. More likely, not one 25,800 years ago, but two, three, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand points in time 25,800 years ago.
In fact, even ten thousand 25,800 years is only over 200 million years, which is a huge difference compared to the age of the entire planet and the universe.
According to research on modern Earth, the entire universe has a lifespan of 13.7 billion years, the Milky Way took about 12 billion years to form, the solar system took 5 billion years to form, and the Earth took 4.6 billion years to form.
Comparing the 4.6 billion years on earth, the length of 25,800 is really too short. In fact, the existence of a species or civilization is not worth mentioning.
We can look at it this way, if we regard the 46 years of the earth as a 24-hour day, then in the first 4 hours of this day, there will be no life on the earth, and then the first and simplest single-celled organisms will appear.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the lowest algae appear in the primitive ocean, and they perform their solitary show throughout the day and evening.
Only at 20 o'clock in the evening do molluscs begin to appear in the water.
Over the next three hours or so, arthropods, fish, vertebrates, amphibians and reptiles appeared.
Then at 23:30 in the middle of the night, the dinosaurs belatedly appeared on the stage. As a result, they were wiped out by a huge meteorite from outside the sky or other reasons after only 10 minutes of performance.
After the dinosaurs, mammals and birds diverged, and then in the last ten minutes of the day, the primate ancestors appeared. In the last 2 minutes, the brains of some primates tripled in size, becoming humans.
At the end, in the 20 seconds before the end of this day, the true history of mankind (one million years) is established, and the so-called real recorded civilization of mankind only occupies the 24 hours of this day. of 0.1 seconds (5000 years).
The life of the universe, planets, and stars is too long, and the traces of a species or a civilization in it are almost negligible. After all, even if they have existed for two full Platonic years, ten times as long as human recorded civilization - fifty thousand years, on the planet's 24-hour-a-day clock, it is just a tick of the second hand.
So is it possible that in the real modern earth world, there was indeed a civilization of wizards, which was longer than human civilization, but they existed in a gap in time, such as the time between the dinosaur age and human civilization? At a certain point, they exist, they develop, they destroy, they leave no trace.
But he suddenly came into it.
Richard continued to think.
what is this
When a suspected "time travel" event occurs, when the impossible becomes a reality, when the scientific system is impacted, when loopholes appear in the logical world, you must always ask why.
So why
I really want to get this answer.
Then we can only study and analyze bit by bit, try to figure out the principles of the current world, and then explore this most fundamental secret.
Maybe I am living in a box, maybe I am living in a book, who knows
After a while, Richard looked away, turned around and walked back to the house.
