The operation at the Stockholm Concert Hall lasted only half an hour, but Zheng Li spent several months preparing for this operation.
Just for the crows flying in the sky, he needed them to not only enhance his spellcasting ability, but also to prevent abnormalities in the crows from being studied by Blue Star scientists after he left. This work alone cost him a lot of energy.
After the consciousness was disconnected, the main body in Kuala Lumpur suddenly opened his eyes. The trigger had been pulled. Zheng Li could only wait for any subsequent effects.
At best, he can make a rough guess through deduction, but no one can predict the real direction of the future.
Zheng Li's ability indeed shocked all the countries in Blue Star, and their interest in magic greatly increased.
Many countries that do not have the capital to participate in this game are also trying to get tickets through alliances.
Originally, the Lion City was promoting joint development among ASEAN countries. The joint development group made rapid progress in the early stages, but could not reach a compromise on who would take the lead.
Although the Joint Research Institute has been established, and research on the search for the cosmic coordinate system where intelligent life exists is also underway, progress is slow.
Except for the Lion City, which sent a luxurious R&D team, other ASEAN participating countries only sent a few big cats or two.
After Zheng Liren became a saint, Ah San realized that it would take too long to rely on oneself alone after more than a year of research.
Alliance with the northern powers is something Asan cannot tolerate, so they want to get involved in ASEAN.
Lion City is obviously unwilling to do so. Without Asan, relying on He Zong Lianheng and Lion City's own research and development capabilities, it is an achievable goal for Lion City to take the initiative in the alliance after the results are achieved.
But after Asan came in, his size and national strength were guaranteed, and the Lion City could not compete at all.
On the second day of the Nobel Prize Ceremony, Ah San contacted ASEAN through official channels and expressed his hope to form a joint research and development team on magic and technology with ASEAN.
As soon as the Lion City received the news, they lobbied various ASEAN member states, saying that our ten countries were enough and no other forces needed to join in.
As for neon, after intuitively feeling the power of magic, a magic craze started among the people.
The government has also appropriately announced a joint research plan with England and Kangaroo Country, stating that it will make its best efforts in this regard in the future.
Governments of various countries know that information cannot be suppressed, so they can only lift the ban appropriately and make some unimportant information public.
The department in charge of public relations in China even directly addressed the BBC’s issues at a regular press conference:
“Yes, Huaguo Seed Group’s new genetically modified seeds are a product of the combination of technology and magic.
We firmly believe that the combination of magic and science can better promote the development of science and technology and benefit the general public. "
This news is a well-known secret among the major countries at the national level. It is also out of consideration to show off their muscles by releasing it appropriately.
And the reason why Merlin overreacted was not because of Amerikan's probing behavior.
If the news has spread to this extent, it will definitely not be suppressed. China can still accuse Amerikan from the moral high ground.
Merlin has not harmed anyone's life in public, so for the general public, there is not much fear and worry.
There was another heated discussion on domestic social media:
"While the English magicians were killing everyone in the Stockholm Concert Hall, the Chinese magicians were quietly farming in the fields and studying seeds. Is this the romance of the Chinese people? I love it!"
Because Merlin is an English magician in myths and legends, and there is currently no official statement on Merlin's true identity, public opinion temporarily believes that he is an Englishman.
As for Merlin being an alien, it only exists in speculation. Everyone generally believes that magic has existed on Blue Star since ancient times.
"Perhaps only the magicians in China are engaged in industrial research instead of killing."
“Farming is indeed the racial talent of the Chinese people.”
"I also want to learn magic and contribute to the country. Can I choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination at the Huaguo Magic Academy? I am willing to take the exam even if it requires a score of 450 points for the preliminary examination."
"Second, I hope the country will provide each of us with a fair opportunity to learn magic. I also want to take the entrance exam to the Magic Academy next year."
"I want to know how our country's magicians are selected?"
"Will the registration number of Huaguo Magic Academy appear in next year's college entrance examination? I won't mind if the last two characters of its name are from the academy."
Everyone gradually became interested in how to learn magic, and everyone was coveting Merlin's grand performance at the Stockholm Concert Hall.
It would be great if I could do magic myself.
Many buildings are tilted towards cultivating immortals:
"Since magic in the West really exists, what about the cultivation of immortality in China? Logically speaking, cultivation of immortality should also exist."
"My home is right on the edge of Mount Emei. I will go to Mount Emei tomorrow to find out what's going on."
Later, all ancient Chinese Taoist books with the word "Dharma" in their titles have fetched high prices in recent years.
It is highly sought after by collectors, just in case there are clues about cultivating immortality hidden in it.
Chinese officials were questioned. In England, which was more closely related to the incident, reporters and people directly surrounded No. 10 Downing Street that night, demanding an explanation from the Prime Minister.
Journalists in England are much tougher than those in China. Some threw stones and smashed the glass, and some brought empty wine bottles to smash the glass.
"We need an explanation!"
"We need an explanation!"
The people of England, led by reporters, chanted slogans deafeningly.
Bao Zhongtang had to come out to respond to everyone, but for him who likes to be in the limelight in front of the media, this is not a bad thing.
Bao Zhongtang came out wearing pajamas, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. After seeing Merlin's performance in Stockholm this afternoon, I am as excited as everyone else."
"If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. I will give you an answer if I can answer it. However, after I have accepted the interview, please leave in an orderly manner and do not disturb my quiet weekend time."
"Sir, is Merlin from England?" a reporter hidden in the crowd yelled with a loudspeaker in his hand.
"I don't know, maybe." Bao Zhongtang was a thief.
"So does the government know that magic exists and that we have our own magicians?" another reporter asked.
"The government knows magic exists, and there are magicians in England who do the government's bidding."
Bao Zhongtang, who was also a thief, did not say that Wiles's research results need to be shared with Neon and Kangaroo Kingdom.
In addition to Wiles, by answering the question of the nature of the soul, England obtained another magic coin unknown to neon and kangaroo countries.
They used it as soon as they got it, which meant that there were two magicians in England, and one of them was hiding in the dark.
At the research base where Wiles is located, scholars from Neon and Kangaroo Kingdom are involved. Another scholar with a magic brain is in another research base in England, and the information is completely kept secret from the outside world.
The system developed by Zheng Li is completely a black box for forces without a magic brain. Neon and Kangaroo Country were easily fooled.
It is impossible for other countries to disclose relevant information to Neon.
"Sir, does Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Harry Potter really exist? And do we really have a Ministry of Magic?"
"Sorry, these are just things from the movie. I was just watching the video at home and saw a lot of people going to Platform 90 at King's Cross Station in London, trying to rush across.
I want to tell you that Hogwarts does not exist, and that there is no train to the Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry from King's Station. "
London's King's Station is already crowded with people, and many people even come from other countries in Europe just to see if they can rush through platform nine and three-quarters.
Wherever everyone lined up to hit the wall between platforms 90, they obviously saw the people before being hit dizzy, but they felt that they were the special ones.
"So do we have a magic academy?"
Bao Zhongtang said deceptively: "Not now, maybe there will be in the future."
According to the magic coin acquisition mechanism, are there only a few students in the Magic Academy?
"Then what is the admissions mechanism of the Magic Academy?"
"I can't answer your question now, that's in the future."
"America just expressed its condemnation of Merlin's behavior. Will we follow up? Or will we support Merlin's behavior?
Will we cooperate with Merlin in the future? "
“I support Merlin’s actions personally, but I only speak for myself.
He is a superhero.
England hopes to communicate with Merlin at any time and cooperate in the interests of both parties. "
"Can you ask the government magician to be interviewed?"
"Sorry, the magician is not a movie star, and I need to respect my personal opinions when it comes to interviews."
Bao Zhongtang ended the interview after hastily answering a few questions. He gained a lot of popularity in front of the media.
The media also gets traffic, a win-win situation.
December 10th was Tuesday, and the market opened the next day, and all stocks in the forestry sector reached their daily limit.
There is a news spreading wildly among the stockholders that these forestry companies assume part of the function of producing wands. Since the wands are directly supplied to the government, it has never been reflected in the financial reports.
On that day, all the listed companies in the forestry sector were blocked at the daily limit by hundreds of thousands of hands. Originally, there were only a few big A forestry companies.
Moreover, hot money has also released news that the wand may be opened to civilian use in the future, which will release a lot of profits.
If you just sell wood, the profit will be very thin, but if you sell wands, the profit will disappear.
Especially in the ** Forestry Industry, which was rumored to have a large number of magic plants, the phone number of the secretary-general was about to explode.
"Excuse me, Secretary Dong, does your company produce wands? It's the wand Merlin used yesterday."
The secretary-general looked confused. He felt baffled when he saw the daily limit was sealed in early trading. Later he was even more speechless when he saw the rumors on the Internet.
Later, after reading the rumors posted online, he even went to ask the chairman if there really was a secret production line for wand production.
Due to the extremely high degree of confidentiality, it cannot be disclosed to the outside world, and even the secretary of the board of directors has no right to know.
The chairman of the forestry company said categorically: "Absolutely not. At least I have never known of such a thing, but you can answer more ambiguously."
The secretary-general replied: "Everything is based on the official announcement."
The chairman's son, who is in his thirties, even called his father at night to ask if what was posted online was true and if his company was really responsible for producing magic wands for the country.
People who knew the inside story expressed their sincere admiration for the imagination of investors after seeing it.
Before Merlin appeared, no one knew that a wand was needed to cast spells.
The wand left by Merlin was even snapped up by various countries, and Amerikan insisted on taking back both the man and the wand.
The Europa League said that you can take the person away, but the wand must be left behind. The wand belongs to Merlin, not your Amerikan.
The Europa League is extremely strong on this matter. Because it is in someone else's home stadium, Amerikan cannot take it away even if it wants to. You cannot leave the Stockholm Concert Hall if you want to take it away.
The magic wand used by Zheng Li was immediately snatched by the Europa League staff present. America's side even wanted to steal it, but there were too many people crowding in, so they had no choice but to give up.
After Li Miaomiao saw the viral video that night after the incident, she called Zheng Li as soon as possible.
"Zheng Li, have you watched the video of the Nobel Prize Ceremony? It's so handsome! The effects of magic are exactly the same as those in the movie."
"You have to go see it."
Zheng Li didn't show any signs of fatigue on the other end of the video.
Although this scene consumed a lot of energy for him.
It took a long time to prepare for this level of spellcasting, including the subsequent punishments, which all needed to be prepared in advance.
But the real one in Kuala Lumpur looked obviously tired, while the one in Lion City was just a clone, and there was nothing unusual about it.
"I didn't see it. I just came out of the laboratory. Why did you suddenly mention magic?"
Li Miaomiao said: "I sent you the video on WeChat, please hurry up and watch it!"
Zheng Li knew what it was without looking at it. He glanced at his circle of friends. The people in his circle of friends were well-known in the Chinese business community. Everyone expressed their disbelief at what happened today.
Lao Ma even made it clear that if someone in his circle of friends sells unused magic coins, he is willing to spend one billion yuan to buy them.
Xiao Ma's Moments posted it later than Lao Ma, and directly raised the price by 500 million yuan. If anyone was willing to sell magic coin, he was willing to pay 1.5 billion yuan.
Zheng Li pretended to have read it and said, "It's indeed incredible. The effect of magic is even more powerful than I imagined."
Li Miaomiao could no longer hold back her desire to express: "Melin's previous papers published on the Internet and the magic coin he created are a system for obtaining magic."
"It is too advanced for the outside public. No one will be willing to read about the Heiber algorithm, the Heiber constant, and how to calculate the coordinate system of the universe."
"This big ticket content is placed at the front. Except for a very small number of people, others can't see it at all. The majority of the people can't see the bottom."
"Even those who knew about its existence before, few people knew about the magic coin system. It felt like the magic world and the secular world had been disconnected for too many years."
“In today’s fast food era, no one has the patience to read through something they don’t understand at all.”
"The magic coin should be placed at the top. Tell everyone that if you can find a planet with intelligent life after reading this set of things, I will give you the magic brain to give you the ability to cast spells."
"Put magic first. I really don't understand what Merlin is thinking."
“If it weren’t for Kechuang Biotech’s team that specializes in research in this area, I wouldn’t even know about Magic Coin, let alone the public.”
Zheng Li felt ashamed after hearing this. It turns out that there is still such a problem. No wonder the number of visits has not been high since it went online.
He thought it was because magic was unattractive.
Li Miaomiao continued: "And the magic that Merlin claimed in the past was just a bunch of papers and dry theories."
"There's no intuitive feeling."
"Merlin's appearance in front of everyone this time is very good. At least I can intuitively feel what magic can do."
"It can resist bullets physically, it can knock people down with a wave of its hand, and it can summon divine guards to restore people's energy. This is very intuitive."
"I used to have a dispensable attitude towards the research on magic and magic coins. Cheng Gang has always been responsible for this matter. I even vaguely felt that it was a waste of the company's funds."
"But after this time, I think magic is very necessary. In the future, magic will become the key to whether a company has core competitiveness."
"The role of magic is by no means limited to combat. Magic can definitely show its role in more aspects."
"Just because they are completely different systems, the value contained in them is difficult to estimate."
"I now feel that we should increase investment in the magic coin research team in the future, and you can even join their research team in person."
"It's best to let them go to the Lion City. If something is discovered and Cheng Gang has other thoughts that he shouldn't have, why don't you lead the team yourself."
From the time she started her business with Zheng Li to now, Li Miaomiao has been a senior executive for a long time. Even when talking about social news, she can look at many things from the perspective of corporate management and development.
Merlin's appearance is social news, not entertainment news.
Zheng Li agreed directly after hearing this. At his age, it would be strange for him not to be interested in magic: "Okay, that's what I meant."
"You can make arrangements. I will personally lead the Magic Coin R&D team. Those who are willing to come to the Lion City can have them come to the Lion City. Those who are not willing can communicate remotely in Suzhou."
“Then we can recruit more people as appropriate.”
"It's just that it's difficult for the Lion City to recruit such people, and it may be better for China to recruit them. In the past two years, all the Ph.D.s in the departments of astronomy and mathematics have been recruited by the Lion City officials, and very few have left for employment."
Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange this myself. I always feel that the emergence of magic is the beginning of a great era."
"Now is originally called an era of great changes, but with the emergence of magic, I feel that the changes will be more drastic, and the changes in the times will be far beyond all of our imaginations."
"So if scientific and technological creatures want to avoid being left behind in the new era, magic is likely to play a key role."
"I believe in your scientific research capabilities the most, and you can do some good in your company."
Li Miaomiao explained, and Zheng Li was thinking in his heart, I was the one who created the magic, but it's a pity that I can't tell you yet.
