To the public, magic is a superpower, a projection of fantasy into the real world, and a feeling that has never been experienced outside of ordinary life.
This is true for individuals, but not for the whole.
In the eyes of various governments, magic is a technological system independent of Blue Star Technology and a crucial ticket for the next generation of technological revolution.
Countries that study magic more deeply have a better understanding of this point.
Although Neon does not use the magic brain, it has a good understanding of the importance of the magic brain.
Some clues can be seen especially from the massive expansion of the team of researchers within the system by Amerikan and China.
Neon and Kangaroo Country gave away the first magic coin to England. Even though England paid a certain price, Neon still believed that it had lost money.
After Merlin appeared in public, Neon felt that he had suffered a huge loss.
Now, after learning that England had withheld information, Neon's decision-makers were furious.
Just because most of Neon's ambitions have been castrated doesn't mean they've all disappeared.
Neon spent a lot of money to buy delayed information from China and the European Union that they should have known.
Compared with other countries, their progress is more than a year behind.
Neon chose to resell the news to Kangaroo Nation.
Kangaroo Country has a historical connection with England, but it has been so long since it has become an independent country, but it still recognizes the Queen of England as its nominal supreme leader.
The Kangaroo Kingdom was equally angry when they found out, and the two reached an agreement that one of them would use the magic coins they kept first.
The next magic coin is obtained by the other party.
In order to have strong effectiveness, Magic Coin is jointly kept by both parties, and the wallet address is divided into two halves, with each person holding half.
Then scholars who use magic coin need to be under the control of the other country.
For example, if Neon chooses to let Mochizuki Shinichi use the Demon Brain, then Mochizuki Shinichi will use the Demon Brain under the control of the Kangaroo Kingdom.
They now recall that when the first magic brain was used, they did not control Wiles in their hands.
I regret it now when I think about it.
The Kangaroo Kingdom has no worries that Mochizuki Shinichi will be able to escape from its jurisdiction without permission after mastering magic.
Because the alliance of England, Kangaroo Country and Neon launched a detailed investigation into Wiles.
Wizards and wizards are different, and the abilities Wiles masters are completely different from the abilities Merlin displays.
They internally joked: This is simply the difference between a mage apprentice and Dumbledore.
Many of the three-party cooperation projects fall within the borders of Neon and Kangaroo Country.
These projects are already driving away scientific researchers from England.
"I'm very sorry, you have to go back to China now to wait for arrangements."
"Is the project temporarily on hold?"
"The project will not be stranded. Only scientists from your country need to return home temporarily. It should be that there is a conflict between the top decision-makers that cannot be resolved."
The Neon State official responsible for handling the matter revealed some information that could be revealed.
The news that Neon Country and Kangaroo Country have recalled their ambassadors, and that Neon has repeatedly provoked the English Ambassador to face an angry rebuke, has been publicly reported for several rounds.
The news that the expelled scientists will know sooner or later will be revealed by Neon State officials first.
Projects cooperated by the three countries include but are not limited to: ILC (In-line Quantum Collider), neutrino detectors, a new generation of space telescopes, etc.
These projects are not located in England, and now they are expelling scientific researchers sent to work from England in large numbers.
Kangaroo Country even publicly announced that it would no longer recognize itself as a Commonwealth country.
Public opinion in England was in an uproar, but the information disclosed to the media by Neon and Kangaroo Nation simply said that England had deceived them.
The specific reasons will not be disclosed in the media.
Most of the media in England come from a wide range of sources, and some of them have the shadow of Amerikan behind them.
For a time, the gossip was rampant.
"According to a senior member of England, a joint research team composed of England, Neon and Kangaroo Kingdom concealed important research results from the other two countries."
The Times report is relatively close to the real situation, but it is still very vague.
"The wizarding world of England won the war with Neon and Kangaroo Kingdom. The wizarding community of Neon and Kangaroo Kingdom tried to continue this war in the secular world."
This was simply made up by the tabloid to gain attention. The editor added a sentence at the end, according to people familiar with the matter.
If you actually ask them who the insider is, they'll say it's a secret and they can't comment.
This is how most fake news is created.
Virtual insiders, virtual news, and in line with the needs of public opinion, were widely circulated for a time.
The following piece of news was discussed with much more enthusiasm by the people in England than the previous piece of news.
"Winning England's Wizarding World" even trended on Twitter.
"Does the magic world really exist? The magic world in England is indeed in line with our strong tradition."
"Can you urgently use magic to train the England team that will participate in the Europa Cup this year? These damn guys haven't won the Europa Cup yet."
The Europa Cup is held every four years and has been held 16 times in total. England's best result is the runner-up in 2020 and has never won the championship.
Among the three countries, England, Germany and France, only England has not won the Europa Cup. The other two countries have won it more than once.
"The wizarding community in England is doing a great job. I just want to ask when will Hogwarts or whatever the magic school is called be open to enrollment?
In the 21st century, magic recruitment is like forming a secret party. This is a bad custom that needs to be eliminated. "
"Can you release the video data of the Magical World War? I will buy it for any amount of pounds!"
"I would like to ask what role Merlin played in this war."
It aroused heated discussion among the people in England, and everyone believed or hoped that it was true.
What kind of news can be spread on a large scale? News with a greater amount of information will be more popular among people and spread on a large scale.
Shannon's information theory tells us that the smaller the probability of an event, the greater its information content.
For example, "Wu participated in Paris Fashion Week" contains too little information, and no one except fans will pay attention to it.
As for "Wu was arrested on suspicion of illegal crimes", you will feel that there is a huge amount of information.
What Wu did, the time, cause, result, motivation, victim, and how he was discovered are a series of information hidden under the water. The amount of information in just a dozen words is extremely huge.
The latter will undoubtedly receive attention and discussion.
The English are human beings, no different from the Chinese. They also prefer news with a large amount of information.
Although the content reported by The Times is more credible, it is not as hot as the tabloids.
The news about the war between the wizarding world of England and Neon and the wizarding world of Kangaroo Kingdom was out of the circle. Two days later, the whole world was eating this melon.
So much so that the little golden retriever personally tweeted that this statement was nonsense.
Gu Jun
“The differences between us and Neon and Kangaroo Country are real, but we have been communicating amicably to try to resolve these differences.
As for the War in the Magic World, I don’t know where you got this news from. Anyway, I’ve never heard of it. "
The following people asked him not to hide the existence of the magic world. Merlin has already appeared, and you yourself have publicly admitted that there are magicians in England. Why are you so stubborn?
The English people in the comments all questioned the authenticity of what he said, even rising to the point of dishonesty.
Later, Neon and Kangaroo Nation recalled their ambassadors in England, which pushed the people's distrust to a climax.
Just differences. Will these two countries choose to recall their ambassadors?
In the past two years, we could often see in the domestic news what cooperation England had reached with Neon and Kangaroo Country, and the heads of the three countries frequently visited each other.
You must know that recalling an ambassador in modern society is undoubtedly a sign that the relationship between the two countries is bad and is heading toward hostility.
If it was just a disagreement, how could there be such a big turn?
So much so that the opinion polls and trust of this government in England have plummeted.
"We are not comfortable disclosing the specific reasons to the outside world, but it is definitely not because of the war in the magic world. As far as I know, there are no magicians in Neon and Kangaroo Kingdom."
The golden retriever later tweeted.
"Hello, Professor Mochizuki, welcome to accept the NHK TV station's exclusive interview program!"
NHK TV anchor Sakurai Sho, who was dressed in a black suit, said welcome, but his face was very serious.
Sho Sakurai, who is also an actor, singer and anchor, rarely seems so serious.
After all, the most important thing for neon artists is affinity.
There was no emotion on Mochizuki Shinichi's face. He said calmly: "Hello, host."
Sakurai Sho looked straight ahead and introduced:
"Sitting next to me is Mochizuki Shinichi, a professor of mathematics at Kyoto University. He has made outstanding contributions in the field of far Abelian geometry and proved the famous ABC conjecture in the industry twelve years ago."
"At the same time, he also has another identity, that is, a magician!"
"I am also very honored to be able to interview a magician in person."
Sakura Jinsho's father is the director of the Neon Information and Communications International Strategy Bureau. He graduated from the Law Department of Tokyo University and was previously the deputy minister of affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
If he is not Sakurai Sho's father, this opportunity will never be his turn.
Neon official sent Sho Sakurai to fly to Kangaroo Country with the staff of NHK TV station, and found a venue in the Kangaroo Country's research institute to conduct this interview program.
As for why Neon chose to push Mochizuki Shinichi out, it was because they needed to gain more benefits in negotiations with England.
The Europa League obviously will not accept England, and England does not dare to cooperate with Amerikan.
If you cooperate with Amerikan, your research results will be eaten up and wiped clean.
If England still wants to occupy a place in the future industrial chain, it must choose a partner.
Neon is the best option available in England.
As for China, England wants to play with China. China says it is okay, but there is no substantive cooperation project. It is a typical case of paying lip service but not delivering on the reality.
The two sides are negotiating, and Mochizuki Shinichi's appearance is both a slap in the face and a reveal of his trump card.
Mochizuki nodded and said, "Yes."
Sakurai Sho continued: "Professor Mochizuki, compared to your well-known identity as a mathematician, this is the first time I know your identity as a magician."
"I would like to ask you, how did you become a magician? I believe this is also the question that the majority of people in front of the TV want to know."
Mochizuki Shinichi: "Everyone must be familiar with Merlin and the content he posted online."
“I’m primarily the head of the Neon team for the mathematical part of the cosmic coordinate system calculations.”
"After we mined the magic coin, Neon assigned the magic coin to me, so I gained the ability to magic."
Sakurai Sho's face was full of admiration: "Wow! So awesome!"
"I don't even understand how to calculate the cosmic coordinates of a planet, let alone Heber's algorithm."
"As expected of Professor Mochizuki."
"Then I would like to ask, is this the only way to obtain magic? Is there a magic academy in Neon or other countries?"
Mochizuki Shinichi: "At least according to our current understanding, magic coin is the only way to obtain magic."
"Magic academies only exist in literature and film and television works. Not only in Neon, there are no organizations like magic academies in other countries."
"There may be more ways to gain magic in the future."
Sakurai Sho: "I also want to ask Professor Mochizuki, what does it feel like to have superpowers?"
Mochizuki waved his hand and saw the cup placed one meter away from him move into his hand.
"This is a feeling that is difficult to describe in words. You will feel completely different from your past self."
"It's like there was a film in the world before your eyes, and you see the world through the refraction of this film."
"After you obtain magic, the membrane is broken, and the real world is no longer obstructed in your eyes."
"It is the evolution and rebirth of life."
Mochizuki Shinichi's casual display made Sakurai Sho envious.
As an actor, he expresses the emotion of envy vividly.
He was indeed envious in his heart: "Wow! Professor Mochizuki, was the move just made by the mage in traditional DND?"
"It's really cool. After listening to Professor Mochizuki's explanation just now, I have a new yearning for magic."
"Magic is not only a superpower, but also represents a new understanding of the world."
Mochizuki nodded and said, "That's right."
Sakurai Sho respected Mochizuki Shinichi even more, and he continued to ask:
"Professor, I want to ask you, after becoming a magician, will you feel that you are no longer the same species as ordinary people?"
"In movies and TV shows, it is often described that some people think that they are a more advanced species after possessing superpowers."
Mochizuki Shinichi shook his head and said: "No, magician is just a profession."
"Just like I graduated from Princeton with a Ph.D. at the age of 23. The Ph.D. only broadened my horizons, but it doesn't mean that I am not an ordinary person."
Mochizuki Shinichi's mentor during his Ph.D. period was Faltins, who was also a giant bull.
"Magician is also just a profession, which expands the boundaries of my understanding of the world."
"That doesn't mean I'm not an ordinary person anymore."
...
After NHK's exclusive interview with Mochizuki Shinichi was broadcast, a large number of neon people asked Jin Mao's Twitter why he didn't understand nonsense.
Just before he said that Neon has no magician, Neon's official TV station personally went to film an interview program to slap him in the face.
