Chapter 17 Choice(1/3)
"The first law of psionics is that consciousness and matter can interfere with each other."
Does this sound like nonsense? Well, it really is nonsense, but isn't it true of those formulas, the first law and so on? They sound extremely simple and look even more nonsense.
But at the theoretical level, the simpler it is, the bigger the problem, the more careful the wording, and the more content it includes.
Just the extended formula of this first law includes:
"Consciousnesses cannot interfere with each other. No matter how big your gods are, they cannot interfere with other people's thoughts or forcibly distort other people's wills. You must use consciousness (spiritual energy) to interfere with matter, and use matter to erase (kill) other entities that contain consciousness.
of matter (life).”
"Consciousness and matter must be adapted to interfere with matter. The consciousness itself must have a correspondingly powerful life force field. But from another perspective, the more powerful the life force field of a creature, the closer it is to the high-dimensional existence of consciousness interfering with matter."
This extends to more. The courage of human beings to sublimate themselves and challenge gods is based on this foundation. A strong body is compatible with a strong consciousness.
"When consciousness interferes with matter, it must follow a certain form and pay a certain price. It is easiest to interfere with oneself, and the more powerful the target of interference, the greater the cost of oneself."
To put it bluntly, revising the laws of physics and nature, even for gods, consumes a lot of money and is a forbidden move.
The consumption of permanent law revision is even greater, which is equivalent to permanently eliminating the upper limit of one's power. In the high-dimensional civil war of the first level of gods, that is either a forbidden move or seeking death.
By the way, the metal resistivity is changed every now and then. Even the God of Metal consumes a huge amount of it. If you don’t look at history, I really don’t know how much hatred he has against mankind.
Zheng Li explained a few words casually, and as expected, he looked at Rabbit's face of "What are you talking about? I'm there, it's not over yet." He knew that his words were probably in vain.
"Is what is written on your resume true? Are you really a higher education trainee or a college student? How did you pass the exam?"
"Ah, do you still have to take exams in college?"
Well, needless to say, looking at the surprised face of the rabbit, inexplicable envy, jealousy and hatred welled up in my heart.
Higher education for all? This is a frighteningly rich world.
After thinking about it, Zheng Li picked the rabbit and would probably be able to understand what he was interested in saying.
"Superpowers are actually the way consciousness interferes with matter. They are human beings' imitation of the abilities of gods. They are the starting point for humans to transform from purely material creatures to spiritual creatures. Your self-gravity interference power should be in your ears. It
It is also the spiritual organ that you first awakened from."
Superpower is not sourceless water. According to the first law, it must be placed in matter.
There are more than one alien who dreams of returning home. Gravity-related powers are still ultra-rare items rated A-level. Is it because no one has a similar first wish, or is the rabbit particularly lucky?
In fact, it is just because the original wish of the right benefit is given to the right person.
Psionic energy is not a panacea. It has a set of self-operating rules. To consume spiritual energy and interfere with real matter, there must be material conditions for spiritual organs.
Magic requires a mechanism, and psychic organs are the catalyst for humans to use psychic energy. After the First Blade Ceremony, everyone's organs have mutated psychic awakenings.
Rabbit's space ears should be her organs that consume spiritual energy and use her gravity powers.
"Oh, I still dream of becoming the richest man, and they didn't give me the power to change money, or a cornucopia of spiritual weapons."
In fact, even Zheng Li knew that according to the laws of psionic science, even if someone really came up with the Midas Touch or the Cornucopia, the consumption of refining gold and treasures would definitely exceed the profit itself.
But the rabbit’s ears are the real Midas touch that can attract investment!
Didn't Zheng Li start to invest more? Didn't he really think that he was doing charity and warding off troublesome snakes for her?
Looking at these crystal long ears that are vaguely aura, Zheng Li is also a little envious. She was born with a space sensing organ, and based on this, she awakened the gravity A power. If she just digs into the potential of this area, she will have it.
Very good prospects.
"But no matter how rare the supernatural powers are, they must abide by the first law. Their use must consume the spiritual energy in the human body. Human spiritual energy is limited, so human supernatural powers can never match the talents of gods and high-level alien beasts.
Compared with superpowers, most superpowers serve as auxiliary functions and are used in conjunction with superpower martial arts."
Want to use supernatural powers to manipulate meteorites and create natural disasters? You can first upgrade your physical and spiritual bodies to quasi-mythical creatures, and you can even work hard to revise the regional physical rules, but at that time, the same level of spiritual power will be used by the spiritual blade to level it.
Isn't A more powerful?
At this time, after hearing Zheng Li repeatedly mention psychic powers, Rabbit, who was not actually stupid, finally understood.
"Spirit crystal?"
"Yes, spiritual crystal is materialized spiritual energy, and it is the hardest currency in the world."
Using supernatural powers requires consuming psychic energy, forging a spiritual blade requires psychic energy (spiritual crystals), evolving a spiritual blade requires psychic energy, and repairing a spiritual blade also requires psychic energy. Some psychic organs can also consume psychic energy to restore wounds and restore physical strength. Use
The various spiritual blade skills are consumed a hundred times, and the amount of spiritual energy consumed during the battle is even greater.
It can be said that the sword master consumes spiritual energy and spiritual crystals every minute of his life. During the period of longing for progress, the consumption increases tenfold. This is why Zheng Li said that what is most needed to train a sword master is resources and money.
The source of psychic energy is the soul of intelligent life, which is directly linked to the population and is always a limited resource.
"So, I say that if a professional warrior appears in every issue, it will be a disaster for this society. That will drive up the prices of spiritual crystals and spiritual materials to the sky."
If the total resources of a society are limited, then the resources dispersed to each individual are also limited. You have more, I have less, and everyone has endless needs, then the result will be quite terrible, or everyone will
Rarely does anyone forcibly deprive others of their share.
In fact, in some eras and in some regions, this was done.
Zheng Li took out a necklace from the drawer. Rabbit suddenly realized that she touched her pocket and found that she also had one. She just received it today.
The soul necklace is an artificial spiritual weapon that extracts spiritual energy from the human body and converts it into spiritual crystals. It is available for free in every administrative office.
"The person who developed this necklace and designed this system is really a genius! He gave the weak the freedom to choose their own lifestyle, and also gave the strong a reason to protect the weak. This is the basis for our society not to disintegrate."
Depending on how much spiritual power each person has (the initial gap is almost zero), each person can obtain four to five spiritual crystals from the soul necklace every month. This is also the source of the saying that the initial average total spiritual power of human beings is 4.5.
"It is impossible for a professional warrior with higher ambitions to wear this necklace. His spiritual power is not enough to feed his own spiritual blade. But even if he lives in the sixth ring, he will have to pay a tax of one spiritual crystal every three months."
The fifth ring costs one coin every two months, the fourth ring costs one coin per month, the third ring costs two coins, the second ring costs 10 coins, and the first ring costs 120 coins per month. It is really not affordable for ordinary people, but even so, the annual The moving application list is still full.
Those who can live in the first ring are definitely not ordinary people. Most of them also have their own special needs. They really have to bear the high tax rate and live in the inner ring.
In fact, the Third Ring Road and the Fourth Ring Road are the main population gathering places.
"Ah, I paid the tax at that time. But the 100 yuan that was directly deducted was said to be a replacement spirit crystal."
"Well, if you don't lose money, each person can only exchange 2 pieces every month. Basically, the money is exchanged for spiritual crystals. The spiritual crystals are always out of stock, and the number of exchanges is enforced. Many people are in urgent need (especially to pay taxes) At that time, people would spend money on the black market to buy extremely expensive black spirit crystals. I remember that last time it had gone up to 130 to 1."
Rabbit's expression became subtle. She remembered that when she was at the altar before, someone smashed the spirit blade and got 300 spirit crystals. Then
"when!"
Nothing happened! He even smashed it several times!
"Ah, I remember that during the live broadcast before, someone rewarded me with spiritual crystals!"
Rabbit suddenly realized that she seemed to have accumulated a lot of wealth. She looked through the records and found that there were nearly hundreds of rewards. After deducting the platform and the company's share, she also received nearly a hundred rewards, which was really not a small amount.
"Well, in fact, the city government has been promoting the consumption of spiritual crystals online. In particular, adventure live broadcasts can only be rewarded with spiritual crystals. This is a benefit for new warriors, and it is also a way to encourage ordinary citizens to hand over spiritual crystals. Every year, the council has proposals The rate of the poll tax has been increased, but it has not been passed every year, but the hunting tax and business tax have increased a lot."
"After all, although the dual-track system of spiritual crystals and money has been in operation for many years, there are still too many people collecting spiritual crystals. This thing maintains its value and is always useful. Every year, the tax revenue of spiritual crystals at all levels in urban areas is insufficient, let alone cultivating priority occupations. You are a newcomer, and you don’t even have enough time to develop new spiritual weapons. But there are always people using them on the altar to listen to the sound, what a bastard.”
Thinking of that live broadcast room, Zheng Li also laughed.
In fact, everyone is still a little guilty for cheating rabbits, and they are relatively well-off, so they do this nonsense. If you really want to face the public, it will take a long time to thank you for a spiritual crystal reward.
Although professional warriors are always short of spiritual crystals, they are still much richer than ordinary citizens. The magnitude of their needs is different, and the units they consume are different. A precious spiritual material often starts with three digits of spiritual crystals.
"Keep it all. This can be considered a very good starting capital. It will not be so easy to earn spiritual crystals in the future. Don't follow those bastards and take ten thousand steps back. Even if you are lucky enough to win, you are now I can’t afford two spiritual blades either.”
"Hunter Wu? He rewarded me a lot just now! Obviously I didn't broadcast live today."
Thinking of his old friend who should be in prison somewhere now, Zheng Li's expression became more subtle.
"That bastard, just keep it, he won't need it anymore. Don't look at him for giving random rewards. In fact, he is very picky. Those who give large rewards are potential newcomers. It can be regarded as promoting newcomers in a sense. They just pick the ones with good looks, which is a bit ugh, just accept it, no need to thank that bastard."
"Huh? Brother Zheng, you know him."
"It's a bad fate, I guess. If nothing else happens, you will also 'know' me in the future."
Human beings are a collective society, and the characteristics of a collective society are professional division of labor and resource allocation, which enhance the productivity of the entire society.
The generation and deployment of spiritual crystals have made the population the starting point of resources, giving the weak a reason and reliance to survive (every year there are low-income households who rely on selling spiritual crystals to survive, and the government also hopes that the more such people, the better!
), also makes it impossible for the strong to leave the support and constraints of the entire society.
As for why this model has developed to the present, it is too long to talk about, and there are too many sad pasts. In the end, I can only say with a heavy heart, "We have taken a detour."
Since human beings are now basically organized in large cities, travel is time-consuming and extremely dangerous. Many regions have their own way of life and systems, which are so different that they can even be regarded as one city and one country.
From the perspective of people in Shiqian City, many areas are still "on a detour." Of course, looking at it from the other side, it may be the same, thinking that you are inefficient and a waste of population resources.
"So, you don't have to worry about only being a hunter. As I said before, a mature society has various professional divisions of labor. Doctors, nurses, teachers, and even the webcast you are doing now are all
You can earn money and spiritual crystals. You can earn spiritual crystals through ordinary work and feed your spiritual weapons, and they will evolve as well, but it will be a little slower."
Well, it's just dozens of times slower. It's impossible to become a high-ranking sword master. I won't hope for anything in my life when I go home. Zheng Li won't say anything. Let's trick people into it first.
"But isn't it necessary for the spiritual blade to evolve? Many people say it evolves through killing."
"Oh, there are many conditions for the evolution of spiritual weapons, but it is recognized that using them more is the key. The way to use weapons is to kill, right? If you have a good boy who is not warlike, maybe he can reach the spiritual standard of evolution if he runs around more.
Just add spiritual materials and spiritual crystals."
One of the theoretical prototypes of the Spirit Blade is the Ninety-nine Gods of Japanese legend. According to legend, it took 99 years for an item to become a demon.
According to the theory of professional researchers, this statement is reasonable. Using a spiritual weapon for a long time and pouring your own spiritual power into it can indeed increase the spirituality of the spiritual weapon. The prerequisite for achieving evolution is to be very slow and very slow.
Depends on luck.
