The appearance of magic and Merlin led China to revise its space strategy, and then proceeded steadily according to plan.
To be precise, the country has increased its investment in scientific research.
It's not just China; the whole world seems to have found its direction again.
Previously, the entire Blue Star civilization had reached a point where it could no longer find its way forward in its technological advancement.
I don't know which direction to take.
Virtual reality, controlled nuclear fusion, space mining and space colonization, quantum computers...
Investing a lot of money in these areas doesn't guarantee you'll see any results.
The emergence of Merlin and the magical system he represents has given Earth a new direction.
Magoyin's system drew the attention of Earth's civilizations, making them eager to turn their gaze to space.
Astronomy and mathematics have received significant attention and investment from both official and private sectors.
The existence of the soul has been proven, overturning existing biological and physical foundations.
A multitude of unknown questions related to the soul await exploration.
Later, Merlin's bounty posts on the magic forum went even further, directly telling the Earth civilization which questions they could research.
They even categorized the difficulty based on magoin.
If the online novel enthusiasts on Earth knew the inside story, they would definitely realize:
Merlin has installed a system on Earth! It has all the basic elements of a system, including tasks and rewards, and even a chat group function.
There are various speculations about Merlin's true identity, both among the public and the government.
The researchers have undergone so many years of science education that the vast majority of them believe in science.
In other words, most people want to explain magical phenomena using scientific systems and do not believe in idealism.
This includes the requirement to inject magical brains in order to become a mage.
This led them to believe that mages were simply a different technological system.
This raises another question: who exactly is Merlin?
Was he King Arthur's assistant in history, a wizard in English legend, or an alien visitor?
Or perhaps they are Earthlings who inherited extraterrestrial technology?
Various speculations are flooding social media platforms.
Some even speculate that the world is actually a virtual world, and everyone is just a piece of code.
Magic is also a piece of code, just written in a different language than the one used in the cognitive system of Earth.
Most Chinese scientists believe that the magical system originated from outer space.
There is absolutely no such magic in the history of Earth; at least, it is completely different from the magic in foreign legends.
Although both foreign and domestic history is full of legends about extraordinary people.
The research institute under the China Bureau of Abnormal Affairs has a special research group dedicated to this issue.
"Merlin's magic is definitely not the kind of magic that exists in European and American legends; the key lies in the language."
"Magic in Europe and America, whether it's Norse mythology, Roman mythology, or modern American mythology."
Because of their short history, the Amerinkan Islands don't have many myths and legends, and they can't possibly claim the mythological system of Native Americans as their own.
Therefore, the Americans adapted and recreated their own mythological system based on the mythology of Europe.
Decades from now, who will be able to deny that this is their mythology?
The most important aspect of a mythological system is not the stories themselves, but the shared understanding.
“The magic in these mythological systems all has a crucial element, which is the incantation. There is no magic system that does not require incantations.”
"Spells are an essential element of magic in Western mythology."
"Of course, some people might say silent spellcasting, but even with silent spellcasting, no wizard starts out by directly learning silent spellcasting, right?"
"However, our mages, after gaining the ability to cast spells, can only move objects like they do with telekinesis because they lack spell learning materials."
"However, after acquiring biological storage technology, the spell to change the properties of materials is still done through silent spellcasting, and the entire operation is completed at the brain level."
"No spells, no gestures, and no rituals are needed."
"Therefore, I absolutely do not believe that magic has anything to do with the magic in Western legends."
"On the contrary, the magical effects that Merlin demonstrated in Stockholm were closer to the gods in Chinese mythology."
The Bureau of Abnormal Affairs of China oversees several research institutes, and most of the research groups related to magic involve mages.
There are currently only six Dharma Masters in China. In addition to their main research work, each of these six Dharma Masters also participates in the work of three to four research groups.
Chinese mages rarely have the opportunity to participate in or exchange ideas with groups that study the connection between magic and the myths and legends of Earth.
The significance of group research like this is not so intuitive, and the resources available to them are limited.
"According to what you've said, then why does Merlin have a wand? There's never been such a thing as a wand in ancient Chinese legends," the Chinese mage retorted.
China is extremely envious of the magic wands obtained by the Europa League.
He has privately expressed his desire to conduct joint research on multiple occasions, and is willing to exchange half of the usage rights of China's FAST telescope for it.
The Europa League's refusal was equally straightforward: "You'd be more willing to exchange it for unused magoin."
Hua Guo responded, "Then let me participate in the joint research first. If the research results are worth the price, we'll accept magoin as well."
The Europa League studied for weeks without any results, except for determining the material of the wand.
The Europa League naturally disagreed, and the two sides reached a stalemate, with neither willing to compromise.
