He casually made a fist movement, and the power of Wang Yu's chariot extended out, smashing the alchemy machinery embedded in the ceiling of the room. Astarte said that there are other people besides him who can observe the Sky Mechanical City through these eyes. , he didn’t want to be watched while he was reading this book.
The contents he copied on the endless pages entered Wang Yu's mind little by little. The contents were basically anecdotes, but the people who experienced these stories were all famous people in history. They told them When experiencing these things, how did you choose, what did you do, and what did you say?
"A person's talent is not eternal, and a sage may not always be a sage..."
He murmured to himself what Merlin said in the book.
Wang Yu was not reading aimlessly. The content Astarte was trying to convey to him was obviously about Sky Mechanical City, so he only needed to find people related to Sky Mechanical City.
The existence recorded in this book is most related to the Sky Mechanical City, and it is the Astartes and the creator of the entire Sky Mechanical City, Merlin. At this moment, Wang Yu was quickly reading the part that recorded Merlin's life story. .
When I was reading it, I sighed that Merlin had so many roles in this book, and they were all positive stories, while the other celebrities had some dirty stuff.
Later, he learned that this book was written by Merlin's creation, the machine spirit Astartes. Wang Yu just attributed this to Astartes' preference for Merlin. Now it seems that it is not that simple...
After sorting out the stories Merlin experienced in the book, Wang Yu summarized what the book might want to convey to him.
Merlin is a guy who values abilities very much and doesn't care much about power. The series of rules he has set are all to promote the rapid development of technical knowledge in Sky Mechanical City.
In his view, the title of sage is not static. A talented person may lose his ability over time, and a person who was not a sage before may become qualified to be called a sage over time.
These sages are the ones who lead the Sky Mechanical City forward, and are the ones who should be entrusted with authority. Putting aside basic moral standards, Merlin believes that ability is the only criterion for judging whether a person with authority is qualified.
The identity assessment mechanism seems to be a legacy of Merlin from that period. As long as he can produce works that are recognized by the Central Council, he can improve his status in Sky Mechanical City and gain more privileges.
This point seems to have been implemented quite well. With sufficient strength guaranteed, Sky Mechanical City has become a veritable academic palace.
Talented people promote technological progress through research, and their status is improved after submitting these new technologies to the central council, forming a virtuous cycle that continuously maintains the enthusiasm of researchers.
It is this that makes Wang Yu confused. From Astartes' words, it is not difficult to detect that there is a high probability that the problem lies with the real master of Sky Mechanical City at this time, the Central Council.
But in fact, on the surface, the other party is doing pretty well. Whether it is the advancement of technology or the overall stability of Sky Mechanical City, Wang Yu, who has been here for a while, can't find any faults.
"What exactly went wrong? The last thing Merlin wants to see is for Sky Mechanical City to decay in stagnation. Only by constantly producing new things can we maintain progress. This is the meaning of the name Academic Palace, new technology, A new direction, but it’s true..."
Wang Yu recalled the books he saw in the library about Sky Mechanical City. One of them recorded the new research results that had been accepted by the Central Council in recent years. After one to two years of similar patent protection, these Knowledge will then be open to everyone for learning.
Judging from the content of that book, there are no shortage of new results produced every year. They maintain a relatively equal value and occasionally have a little more than before. The so-called stagnation seems to be completely out of the question.
This contradictory feeling made Wang Yu very suspicious of whether his judgment and guessing had gone wrong somewhere. He frowned and thought, looking for key clues.
"Wang Yu, how is the production of the alchemy power core? Can I take a look at it for you?"
Wang Yu's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of opening the door and talking to Aviya. Looking at the girl walking into the room, Wang Yu decided to seek extra help without hesitation.
"Aiweiya, something happened just now. Let me tell you. By the way, I have a question that I hope you can help me take a look at."
Wang Yu raised his head and recounted to Aviya exactly what had just happened, along with his question - what went wrong?
The girl's face became serious when Wang Yu started to tell. As the story progressed, more thoughts appeared on the other person's face.
When Wang Yu finished telling what happened and asked his doubts and stopped talking, the girl first thought for a while with a stern face and said nothing, and then a look of surprise appeared on the girl's face.
"Wang Yu, your idea is not wrong, but you should start from the point where this matter is related to us."
The girl confirmed Wang Yu's guess in a calm tone and pointed out the correct direction of thinking. This made Wang Yu think about what the other party said after being stunned for a moment.
The point related to them... was the earliest warning given by Astartes to him, not to inform the Central Council of the results of metamagic research?
That's right, there are so many new studies every year, but why is it the study of supernatural beings? There is also the Seeker Society. It's the same, the research on supernatural beings has been suspended inexplicably.
"What's so special about metamagic research?"
Wang Yu successfully found the key to the problem with Aviya's prompts. The problem lies here. Why is the Central Council doing research on super demons? This thing isn't evil either.
"Wang Yu, it's normal that you don't understand this. If it were a professor who came to distinguish the difference between metamagic research and other research results that are added every year, he should be able to see it."
Aviya showed a wry smile. She knew that Wang Yu was already thinking about it very seriously. Unfortunately, Wang Yu was not a scholar in the true sense. In his eyes, the research on super magic and the new research results produced by Sky Mechanical City every year were the same. of.
But Aviya, who is a scholar herself and participated in the research of super demons, almost immediately discovered the two differences after comparing the new research results of Sky Mechanical City every year with the research of super demons. The difference between the two is huge. Unimaginable.
"Using your subject knowledge on Earth as an analogy, comparing metamagic research to the research results released every year by Sky Mechanical City is like electricity to steam power, and Einsteinian mechanics to Newtonian classical mechanics."
The girl paused and explained it to Wang Yu in a way that he could understand. When Aviya said this, Wang Yu almost understood.
"In other words, the research on super-magic has truly embarked on a new path, and those so-called new research results are just piling on the framework of existing knowledge?"
Wang Yu asked.
"That's right."
The girl nodded to confirm, and Wang Yu understood quickly. In many aspects, the study of super-demon has diverged from the previous school of thought.
Take the magic circle as an example. The basis of the traditional school is the physical magic circuit. The new research results are also a new way of constructing the physical magic circuit, with better magic endurance and stronger effects. However, super magic is To a certain extent, the physical magic circuit can be abandoned directly...
"So what Merlin said is new, is this new? Damn, so to put it this way, Sky Mechanical City has been stagnant for a long time. It seems that it is constantly producing new results, but in fact it is just in the original things. On the basis of constantly adding decorations, it looks like it has changed, but in fact the things are still exactly the same?"
Wang Yu patted his head, smacked his mouth, and figured out what was wrong.
"They are eager to get new results..."
Chewing this sentence in the alley, Astartes commented on the Abyss mage's loss of control. Looking at it now, the meaning of this sentence is completely different. The abyss, a thing that has not yet been understood, is indeed compared to Next is also a new direction.
The Central Council seems to be eager to produce research results that can be called "brand new". On the one hand, it wants to prevent new roads from emerging, and on the other hand, it is trying to find a new road on its own.
"It seems that there is something wrong with our evaluation of Sky Mechanical City. This so-called scholar's palace seems more like a scholar's tomb."
Shaking his head, Wang Yu said with a sarcastic tone. He didn't have any objections to this sky city where a large number of scholars gathered. He could see the enthusiasm and pursuit of these scholars. He just felt that the people in the Central Council It probably rotted because it stayed in that position for too long.
But he thinks it's quite normal. Where there are people, there are levels. It's similar to Aleister. If you reach that position, who would want to come down? It's true to keep making yourself more stable.
There are really not many people who can reach that level of ideological realm. The elves and feather tribes seem to be doing pretty well, but the human dwarves orcs are barely interesting.
Combining the points stated by Merlin in the story in the book, Wang Yu and Aviya have almost confirmed that Sky Mechanical City probably has a mechanism for replacing the members of the central council left by Merlin.
The criterion for this replacement mechanism is whether it can produce brand-new research results, but this mechanism seems to have been filled with holes. Since it cannot produce new research results, it cannot prevent the mechanism from proceeding after someone provides new results. Change, then, just directly prevent others from making results or hand over the results.
Don't mention it, it seems that this method is really effective. Aviya carefully recalled the list of new research results and was surprised to find that at least there was a technological breakthrough on the same level as "Super Demon" for more than a hundred years. Appeared.
Combined with the sudden end of the Seeker Society's previous attempts at researching super-demon, I'm afraid there are countless new paths and new directions that have been stopped midway. Now the academic palace is really going to become an academic tomb.
"The role played by the tower spirit Astartes is very special. It should be another means of repairing errors left by Merlin. When this happens, it has some authority over Sky Mechanical City. The machine spirit will try to correct the problem."
"It's just that something happened on its side. Even communicating with normal intelligent life forms with souls was a problem. It wasn't until I happened to meet me that I was able to convey these messy situations through loopholes."
After Wang Yu clarified one aspect of the matter, he began to analyze the very special individual Astartes. He did not fully understand the existence of the machine soul, but judging from what the other party had done and the identity of its creator, Astartes Start is obviously on the opposite side of the current Central Council, and it wants to change the status quo of Sky Mechanical City.
"Wang Yu, I feel like you are like a character in movies and TV shows. Wherever you go, something will happen."
With a hint of ridicule, Aviya said to Wang Yu that this time was also a coincidence. Instead of Wang Yu, Astarte, the tower spirit, could not even speak. It was difficult to use metaphors to communicate with that person. This book informs others about what is going on in the Center Council.
"Hey, this has nothing to do with me. The problem has always been there, but it may have happened by chance, or it may have been brought out because of my special characteristics."
Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said casually that he might have felt this way before, but he had long figured it out. If he didn't run around, things would still happen elsewhere, but he couldn't see it.
And his particularity will indeed cause some troubles, but without these particularities, he would not be where he is today. The troubles caused should be regarded as the price of these particularities.
"of course."
The girl responded with a smile. Of course she didn't really think so.
"Then I want to ask, can super-magic research really bring us a lot of help? I remember you said that this is a path with endless potential, right, especially Professor, with this new path , the damaged magic circuit on his body may be repaired in a new and extremely powerful way."
Wang Yu asked Aviya seriously.
"Of course, this is definitely a path full of possibilities. Once successfully pursued, regardless of the changes it will bring to other people, all the magic instruments we have can be upgraded, and there has been no way to make them by hand. The new Spellweaver's Book can also appear in a new form based on this."
The girl answered with certainty.
"Then there's nothing more to say. Just keep going and it'll be over. As for the problems you may face..."
Smiling at each other in a tacit understanding, Wang Yu and Aviya bumped their fists. This research of great personal significance to them will never stop. As for the problems they may face with the Central Council, similar things have been experienced. , at the same time, just like what Wang Yu said.
"This is not Aleister. I chose Sky Mechanical City for a reason after all."
