Frankly speaking, at the beginning, Shen Fu never thought of linking the beginning of the universe era with solving the magic side problem.
Because these seem to be two completely unrelated directions, Shen Fu has known about the spaceship project for a long time. He started it after getting the corresponding technology from the heavy equipment world that day, and has been slowly accumulating theoretical knowledge and research. , what really stimulated its rapid development was the world void in the space of the forbidden world.
However, the plan submitted by Ji Ming and Chu Ping is to use a completely different level of technology to dispel the "rebellious heart" of these magicians, and at the same time, use the prestige of the new era to reasonably cover up certain things that would normally be amplified. Bloody activity.
Originally, Shen Fu was thinking about whether to start a nationwide live broadcast of such a key event in the main world, but Mr. Li vetoed it. This "spaceship" can actually only be regarded as an experimental product. After flying has valuable data, we can then create a final version of the main world.
Of course, this space battleship was assembled and processed by Shen Fu after the parts were completed in other worlds. The process was secretive and there was absolutely no possibility of disclosure. Therefore, it should also be important to the people of this world. It was a "big surprise".
Continuously, more and more magicians began to gather in this direction.
Citizens in nearby cities also discovered these relatively rare foreigners, but Chinese officials also stated that there was a large-scale event in Longhu Mountain recently, so citizens should not be surprised.
All the magicians were "courteously" invited to the mountain. In just a few days, many temporary residences have been arranged here, enough to house the less than a thousand magicians. Although the entire Longhu Mountain has undergone strict inspections, Military control does not restrict the freedom of these magicians too much. They can basically come and go at will.
Two days later, Laura also arrived at Longhu Mountain.
"General Shen, do you plan to announce the existence of magic to ordinary people?" This was the first thing Laura said after seeing Shen Fu.
"Yes, now that we have entered the information age, ordinary people have the right to know the truth about the world." Shen Fu did not deny it.
In fact, in the past few days, such an atmosphere has been vaguely created on the Internet, and there have even been some explicit indications that in addition to superpowers, there are other supernatural powers in this world, so not only Laura, but also other people on the magic side I should have vaguely guessed something.
Laura smiled bitterly, "There is an unwritten prohibition on magic, that is, ordinary people cannot know the existence of magic, at least not on a large scale. General Shen doesn't want to know the reason?"
"It's easy to understand." Shen Fu shrugged, "There are many reasons. For example, unknown things make people afraid, for example, they are worried about triggering resistance from ordinary people, and for example, after magic enters the public's perspective, they try every means to learn from it. There will be more and more magic people.”
Anyway, it’s not a just reason like not wanting magic to interfere with the order of ordinary people.
Although there are some bright spots on the magic side of this world, overall it is a decaying existence that will inevitably be replaced if it does not change.
"What you said is also one of the reasons." Laura shook her head, "But the more important reason is because of [faith]. Ordinary people will study magic like they study science, but magic is different from science after all. It is a power that requires sincere belief to be used. Once the existence of magic is made public and then is continuously studied by people, no matter what the results are, most people will gradually lose their awe of magic."
Shen Fu was slightly silent, Laura’s words were easy to understand.
Ancient magicians relied on their will to drive magic because of their sincere will and hope in the gods. Therefore, for a long time, even now, a considerable number of magicians believe that magic is a gift from the gods.
In fact, these magicians have not figured out the relationship between magic and belief until now, because in addition to magicians who believe in religion, there are also free magicians, and there is no difference between powerful magicians and sincere believers. There is no hard correlation, and there seems to be no concrete connection between the two.
But one thing is certain, that is, to use magic, you must first respect magic.
This is why the magic side will not spread the existence of magic to ordinary people casually. If you see something too much, you will lose respect.
"Your magic has gone astray." Shen Fu pointed this out unceremoniously, "The respect for magic means that you do not really possess magic, but have always been restricted by magic. So what you said, It has nothing to do with us, because our magic is the real power controlled by ourselves!"
The rules of this world can create many miracles created by will, but they also limit the development of magic. In Shen Fu's view, they are not even as good as the rules of the zero world with protection.
Laura would not understand the mystery of the truth about the rules of the world, and Shen Fu had no intention of explaining it to her. But even so, Laura still acquiesced to Shen Fu's plan to disclose the existence of magic. Otherwise, smart people would not Do things you cannot change.
As the days passed, more and more magicians came to Longhu Mountain. Although with Laura's help, Shen Fu still felt an aura of restlessness, which was specifically reflected in the words and deeds of these magicians.
Although magicians are said to be stronger than ordinary people, they also have all the characteristics of ordinary people.
For example, once there are more people, there will be some kind of incomprehensible courage.
Finally, this courage reached its peak in the evening of the week before the deadline.
"That group of magicians introduced seven representatives and want to see me?" Shen Fu was not surprised when he got the news from Chu Ping. "What did Laura say? Is she one of the seven representatives?"
"No." Chu Ping shook his head, "Lola seems to have been rejected by these magicians these days because she is too close to us, so the entire British Puritan Church has no influence at all among the current Longhu Mountain magician group. The right to speak, and in a very awkward position.”
"That little fox's social skills are not that bad." Shen Fu saw clearly, "Lola is deliberately trying to distance herself from this group of people. If expected, she even interacted with the royal family from her own country. The relationship between the representatives of the Knights and the representatives of the Knights is also deteriorating."
There is no doubt that Laura is showing her side. Even if as a magician, what China is about to do will also harm her interests, but it is obvious that as a smart person, she has a longer-term view than ordinary magicians.
