"The so-called truth is an eternal real theory. It is fixed, but different things have different truths. They conform to the objective laws of the development of things..."
In the tavern, Ma Wei explained the most basic definition of truth to William V and his family. Although aristocratic education is the absolute top elite education in this era, when it comes to matters related to truth, Ma Wei still starts from the most basic theory. Speaking of things, everything must be a step-by-step process. If you don’t understand the basic structure, how can you delve into it in depth?
"Truth can enable human beings to achieve absolute tranquility and peace, but the pursuit of truth is an extremely tortuous and bumpy road. In other words, on the road of pursuing truth, human beings will continue to progress and renew themselves, and consciousness and knowledge will be perfectly integrated. When you The moment you grasp the truth, you have achieved happiness. At that time, you will no longer be confused, and civilization will enter an ideal ultimate form."
"Sounds good..." the crown prince thought, "but how can we pursue the truth? Obviously, it takes a long time to bring society into its ideal ultimate form, and it cannot be accomplished by one or two generations. In this case, how can we achieve self-salvation?”
"I will not die, His Highness the Crown Prince." Ma Wei said softly: "The me here is a subjective concept of ideology. To me, you are you, and to you, I am me. The difference in subjective consciousness determines the way the objective entity exists, but the two seem to be opposite, but in fact there is no difference and they are completely unified."
"There is no difference?" Even William V, who was listening in, couldn't help but interrupt: "You and I belong to different individuals. Isn't that the difference?"
"Your Majesty, your starting point when thinking about problems is based on you as an individual. When I think about problems, my starting point is also based on myself. But if we think at a higher spiritual level, every person in this world, every intelligent person, will The starting point of our thinking is 'I', 'my' experience, and 'my' life are all part of society and part of civilization. 'I' will not die, but will continue forever."
William V nodded thoughtfully: "Although I am me, there is no essential difference between me and myself?"
"Yes, this is the primary interpretation of spiritual truth. As long as we understand the existence of 'I', then we will know what to do next. If we want to complete the sublimation of society and civilization, the first condition is to eliminate classes and realize Self-equality, in its ultimate ideal form, everyone is equal.”
When William V and his family were confused, Ma Wei said: "In addition to spiritual truth, there are also geometric truths and logical truths. These three complement each other. Some people agree with geometric truths, and some people agree with logical truths, but they all agree with them." They are a part of society and civilization. When they unite and pursue the truth that suits them, society will undergo a qualitative change. To reach this point, practice is essential, and truth is not afraid of making mistakes."
At this point, Ma Wei stopped. He had said enough today. William V and his family needed time to digest these contents, just as it took a lot of time for him to realize this in the first place.
"Father, why do I feel that you want to destroy us..."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly said with a resentful look: "According to your theory, our royal family seems to be the biggest enemy on the road to pursuing the truth..."
Crown Prince Daniel's intelligence stunned Ma Wei for a moment. He didn't expect that the other party would think of this so quickly. It was really...
It's exciting.
"You are very smart, His Highness Daniel. For truth, class barriers must be broken down, but equality of all living beings is not just a theory. Before reaching the ultimate form of society, we must combine the actual situation and explore the correct path through continuous practice. In this process, a leader is needed." Ma Wei said: "So you don't have to worry about being eliminated or anything else. As long as you are in line with the truth and are willing to be a pioneer on the road to pursuing the truth, then you will Has the potential to be a leader.”
"oh..."
After hearing these words, William V's expression softened slightly. He almost thought that Ma Wei wanted to kill them here, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"If I pursue the truth, will I be able to get help from the Church of Truth?" Crown Prince Daniel asked.
"Yes." Ma Wei gave an affirmative answer.
"I will think about it."
Regarding Daniel's answer, William V did not reprimand him. He did not intend to pursue any truth, but it was not a bad thing to win over an ally. It was not certain what the Judgment Cult would do in the future. It was good to take a longer-term view.
Maybe one day they will seek shelter from the Church of Truth...
jingle.
The bell hanging on the door of the tavern rang, and Dino walked in with Yunia who had just woken up. Seeing Mavey sitting in the corner, Yunia shouted "Dad" and then threw herself into him. in the arms.
"Father...is she your daughter?" William V looked at Yunia and asked.
"Well, her name is Nia and she is three years old."
Mawei ruffled Junia's hair, glanced at the two daughters of William V, and said with a smile: "Girls should be able to play together, Niah, hurry up and say hello to the two sisters."
Junia looked at Ma Wei, and then at the two princesses hiding behind William V. She rolled her eyes, walked forward, took out the chocolate she had bought by tricking the noble housekeeper, and handed it over: "Dad I said I want to share the good things with everyone, do you want to eat chocolate?”
The two princesses looked at each other, not knowing whether to answer or not.
Yunia was very courageous and stuffed the chocolate directly into their arms, then took their arms and said, "Let's go out and play!"
The three daughters ran out of the tavern and ran into the street at the entrance of the alley. Several cats resting on the roof immediately followed them, as well as two bats hanging under the eaves.
After tasting the wine of the Romanov Kingdom, Mavey took the tipsy William V and others through the long streets and arrived outside the camp, where the soldiers were undergoing target training.
The follow-up 'Edward 1' rifles are being manufactured at an intensifying pace and will soon be shipped to the front line with the reinforcements. Before that, Katerina first familiarized the soldiers with the firing rhythm of the new rifles, so as not to get the guns but not be able to fire them. Will be used.
Seeing the rifles in the hands of the soldiers spitting out tongues of fire one after another, and shooting several times in a row before reloading, William V was a little surprised and asked: "What kind of gun is this?"
"Oh, this is our latest development of the 'Edward 1' rifle, which can fire five times in a row. It has passed actual combat testing and is in mass production." Dino said.
William V's breathing suddenly became rapid. This was the first time he saw a rifle that could fire continuously. Although a revolver could also fire continuously, the accuracy of the revolver was not high and could only be used for close combat. For longer distances, you still have to rely on rifles.
The Kingdom of Frederick also has weapons similar to the Delisser bolt-action rifle. In other words, they sold the patent for the Delisser bolt-action rifle to the Kingdom of Windsor. It was a very advanced weapon, and fixed-loading ammunition technology had just become popular. Originally, William The Fifth Emperor thought that Frederick's Kingdom could win consecutive battles with the help of the Delisser bolt-action rifle, but it was unexpected...
The Romanov Kingdom, which he regarded as backward, decadent, and unworthy, had actually begun to equip more advanced repeating rifles on a large scale.
"Father Marvey, can I take a closer look at this 'Edward 1' rifle?"
Ma Wei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, things like rifles are too dangerous. For your safety, it's better not to look at them."
William V pursed his lips and kept his gaze on the rifle in the soldier's hand.
At the same time, a group of ministers of the kingdom standing behind William V were talking about it. Bismarck was holding a cigar in his mouth and took several puffs. He even accidentally took a breath and coughed violently.
"Everything will be okay, Your Majesty."
Everyone's expressions were all in view, and Ma Wei said with a smile: "Our Truth Church is committed to scientific and technological research and development, and advanced weapons are emerging in endlessly. I believe that in the near future, we will definitely become the leader of science and technology. By then, we will Advanced technology is given unconditionally to the kingdom that is in line with the truth."
William V was a little moved, but finally sighed: "Although repeating rifles are very advanced, magic is still more powerful..."
"For now, that is indeed the case."
"Currently? Will it be different in the future?"
"Technology is constantly improving. Your Majesty, the magic that is extremely powerful in our eyes today may also become a branch of technology in the future. This belongs to the category of geometric truth. On the road to pursue the truth, our church has always been a pioneer."
Ma Wei looked at Crown Prince Daniel and pointedly said:
"This son of yours is very promising. If you don't mind, you might as well let him study with me for a while. Maybe one day I will be happy and give him the blueprint of the 'Edward 1' rifle..." ..what do you think?”
