Chapter 79 Truth 4
Hongshi took a closer look at this paper again.
The matter is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, the Republic has created an earthquake forecaster, which can understand the entire internal structure and movement of the earth through detection and analysis of the wave depths of the earth. This can predict earthquakes. This was originally a great thing, but human wisdom never simply develops in a beautiful direction. Gunpowder can not only be used as beautiful fireworks, but also as a weapon for killing. Because this earthquake forecaster obtains a large amount of data about the internal operation of the earth... it can also become a terrible weapon.
In a sense, the continent on Earth is "floating" above the magma layer. The calm earth actually contains huge power. Therefore, by using a little extra force at a key position, it is possible to pry the huge power below the earth, produce terrible destruction effects, and directly create earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and even continental plate faults.
Of course, these are just the imaginations of scholars, and even if it is a "little bit", it is relative to what the earth says. For humans, they are at least nuclear weapons-level powers.
However, this is a theoretical thing after all. Although it is indeed completely fine in theory. At least at present, the countries on Earth do not have the impulse to turn this thing from theory to practice.
Because first of all, it is difficult to get nuclear weapons. There are only a few large countries with nuclear weapons. These countries cannot risk being sprayed to death by global public opinion to do such research. After all, nuclear tests cannot be concealed.
Secondly, the relevant data are under the control of global earthquake forecasting agencies. It is very difficult and professional to obtain these data and understand them in depth. Except for countries, it is extremely difficult for other forces to use these data.
Finally, even if everything is ready, it is easy for everyone to imagine the uncontrollability of this weapon: this kind of destruction is all-round. Human beings live on the earth, and everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. You can't fly or you can't run away. The Americas are really over, and Eurasia will never be out of trouble; a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean, both Americas and Asia will be in trouble together; a super volcanic eruption, who knows how much the volcanic ash will cover? Half of the earth or the entire earth?
"If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about a weapon that only exists in theory." Redstone said. "I admit that this weapon is terrible, but..."
"Haha, look at the time of this magazine's paper publication. This was a year ago." The Duke didn't care. "It did exist only in theory at that time, but it is different now."
“You mean…”
"Now, I have installed such a nuclear bomb on this ocean. According to the results of computer simulation, once it detonates, it will set off a real tsunami. A wave of more than a hundred meters will sweep the coastline of the world. No country in the world can withstand a disaster of this scale. Even a country like the United States or the Republic. Not only that, it can also control the tsunami to a certain extent through some fine-tuning. For example, focusing most of the energy in one direction will completely destroy a country's coastline - very thorough."
"But...what if they don't believe it?" asked Redstone. "After all, it's a theoretical danger for most people."
"Oh, it's hard to say about the Republic...but the United States is sure that this is true. Because I have threatened them once before," the Duke said confidently. "Of course, for me, a nuclear bomb is not the end. As long as I am willing, I can get a second one. By the time the second one, I think people in the world will not know."
Redstone pondered for a long time.
He knew that this practice was very evil, and that this weapon would cause great disasters. But he could not resist another temptation: forcing the United States government to concessions and allow them to establish their own country independently. If this achievement is completed, then... he is also an ambitious person, and also a love and hate. Originally, both love and hate and ambition had to give up because of the ruthless suppression of objective reality, but now there is such an opportunity before him.
To be honest, even if the price is the ability of the great wizard and the review of the natural spirit, it is a cost-effective transaction. If you consider that this is just "possible loss", a great wizard asking a question to the natural spirit will not necessarily anger her, then this transaction can be said to be a big profit.
He didn't even realize that he was attracted by this idea, so he completely ignored the risk: he did not force the Duke to fulfill his promise. If he lost the natural spirit's scrutiny for this, he would not be able to do it.
In fact, this idea became increasingly attractive, making him gradually unable to resist this temptation.
The Duke sat in his position and gently stroked his chin with one hand. He had a very short beard, so his fingers shaved on the beard on his chin. The sun was shining and even strong, which also covered the strange brilliance in his eyes.
If you are a person, you have ambition and desire. As long as you act according to his desires, you will not fail. When Hongshi raised his head with difficulty, he knew that he had won.
"I promised this deal." Redstone said.
"That's great," said the Duke. "Do you need anything?"
"I need some special things, a kind of incense, some distilled alcohol..." He reported more than a dozen raw materials. These are necessary for preparing psychic potions. Although the spirit of nature has been very active recently, redstone does not take too much effort to establish a certain connection with her. But it is just a communication of power (or acquisition), not a communication of spirit and thought. Both humans and gods must be very careful, especially this kind of thing.
"Everything, all!" The Duke was obviously prepared for a long time.
In more than ten minutes, Redstone completed the preparation of the psychic potion on the table. There is no secret to the preparation of this potion. Now there are related teaching videos everywhere on the Internet. But it is meaningless for many people to prepare this potion. This potion is actually just an auxiliary. The psychic actually relies on the power of the wizard itself.
"Is this OK?" Hongshi was ready and asked.
"Of course," the Duke replied immediately. "It's safe. I promise you, just like at home."
The great wizard drank the potion he had just prepared in one sip. The strong stimulation made him feel a little dizzy. His physical perception in the material world decreased, but his physical perception in the void rose. He heard the slight summoning of the spirit of nature, and he could find the other person along the summoning.
He soon found that in the indescribable void, there was a two-dimensional, mirror-like thing. The breath of the spirit from the nature escaped from the mirror. Redstone knew that the god was in the mirror. Now he was no longer surprised by this. The spirit of nature has many faces, and all he had contact with was one of them.
"Great Spirit of Nature," said Redstone. "Your servant seeks answers to a question."
The consciousness of the natural spirit floats out of the mirror. "Say." It is simple and straightforward without any drag.
"Can humans live forever?" Hongshi asked.
"Yes." The answer from the other side was very straightforward. "You can sublimate your own essence, use spells to stabilize your physical state, and finally you can seek help from existence above human beings."
This answer made Hongshi feel calm. The Spirit of Nature answered this question so comprehensively, obviously for the Spirit of Nature, this kind of question is no big deal, and it is not a blasphemy knowledge that cannot be mentioned.
"How can we sublimate our own essence?" Hongshi asked.
The Spirit of Nature gave the answer. If humans can repeatedly strengthen themselves and reach the limit that the material world can tolerate, they can naturally understand this. Of course, if they feel that the things they have learned are not reliable enough, they can also seek detailed knowledge from those existences above human beings. However, redstone is still far away from this level. It is so far away that he does not have to consider the answer to this question now.
As for the second option, the caster must be strong enough to fight the world. Because magic will continue to pass through this world, he must have a stable and reliable source of magic that can withstand this consumption. This type of magic is not too difficult. For this method, the Natural Spirit recognizes its existence, but does not agree that it is a reasonable choice. Because this magic violates the concept of the Natural Spirit. Birth, Aging, Sickness and Death are the norms and laws of nature. If you force it against brute force, even if you succeed for a while, there will be no good results.
Needless to say, the third choice. Whether it is the gods or demons in myths, they have this ability in a sense - provided that they are willing to help. And it is obvious that they are reluctant to give such precious gifts to humans at will.
While the great wizard was sleeping, the duke was watching over the other person's body. In fact, at this moment, he was obviously far more excited than he seemed. He stared at the sleeping face of the great wizard almost without blinking.
Magic gave him true knowledge, so he knew that on the surface, the great wizard's body just drank the potion and fell asleep, but in essence, the other party's soul and consciousness had left the body's constraints and went to the indescribable void to seek answers. From this, it can be seen that the great wizard's psychic really exists. He just doesn't know what the existence that is connected to humans.
Is there really any natural spirit? Primitive gods, who have no desires and no desires for humans? No, the ancient magicians have long confirmed that this is impossible. It is like the salt-alkali land that cannot grow crops. You don’t need to search every inch of land to confirm that there is no crops. You just need to understand this environment to understand everything.
He waited patiently, but in fact the pointer on the watch didn't walk for too long. Redstone suddenly opened his eyes and the soul of the great wizard came back.
"Hisser Duke," Hongshi took the initiative to speak without waiting for the other party to ask. "I asked what you want."
He told the Duke that he had received the answer from the spirit of nature to the Duke. The Duke's expression was very strange and indescribable, as if he was disgusted or surprised. But at least he had quietly listened to the great wizard's words, and after listening to it, he pondered thoughtfully for a long time without saying anything.
"Is this the answer given to you by the Spirit of Nature?" asked the Duke.
"Yes." Redstone replied. "Now I have done what I want to do, it's your turn to fulfill your promise, Your Excellency."
"Of course," the Duke replied. "Of course, these things are not handed over with just a word. I will give you the relevant information. I will contact you in the specific details. If you need it, you can also arrange a specific person in charge and let him contact me. However, there are some unnecessary things, I have to remind you again that I can give you that nuclear bomb, but how to use it correctly without being backlash requires your own wisdom to grasp it."
What he said makes sense, Hongshi nodded and admitted. At this point, the meeting between the two was over, because there seemed to be no other words to talk about. The Duke sent him to the small conference room where he first met, where there was a space connection, and he could go directly to the art gallery where he came.
"In more than ten minutes, the door will open," said the Duke. "You just need to wait, and there is also your disciple Antiquus. You want to take him back, right?"
"Of course." Redstone replied. Although Anticus disappointed him, he had to take him back anyway.
"Well, that's fine," said the Duke. While he was speaking, a wave of ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the space behind him, and then the Mike who had met (and had fought) appeared. He followed Anticus next to him. He opened the Eye of the Void, and was sure that Anticus was fine, but his expression seemed a little indifferent.
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll send it away." The Duke said, and he turned around and stepped into the ripples of space that had not yet disappeared, and disappeared with Mike in a blink of an eye.
The ripples of time and space subsided, and the Duke had already left. Now... he began to feel something was wrong. How should the Duke contact him? But when he looked back, there was no reason to be without faith. In addition, the space spells over there were about to be activated. It was just a wall without any items, but the Eye of the Void could see the chaotic traces of magic on it. These traces were gradually changing from disorder to orderly and regularly flowing. He knew that once these magic powers were completely ordered, the space goalkeeper would be opened again.
Speaking of which, this duke is really amazing. He actually set up such a convenient time and space gate all over the world...
"Anticus." Hongshi said in a stern tone. "Go back with me!" Then he turned around and looked at the door and waited for it to open.
He suddenly realized that it was still a headache to deal with this matter when he went back, because behind Anticus was the official of the United States. At least in the short term... when he was thinking this, an indescribable, burning sting came from his back.
