"What were the experimental results?" William had read Merlin's published paper dozens of times.
He was the Nobel Prize laureate in Medicine two years ago, and his research focused on how macromolecules function at the cellular level. He was temporarily transferred from Harvard University to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory by the American government.
The assistant replied, "The results were as expected. Merlin's paper mentioned that the 'magic brain' could affect the real world after being implanted in small mammals. Our experiment successfully achieved this in animals such as mice, raccoons, and ferrets."
William kept thinking that they could successfully replicate Merlin's experiment, but they couldn't explain it using the existing scientific framework.
What he needs to do is find a starting point to unravel the mysteries of the magic system.
After thinking for a moment, William asked, "After treating these small animals in our experiments, were any souls observed to appear?"
The assistant glanced at the lab report: "No, no souls similar to those in humans were observed to appear after the death of these small mammals."
William: "So a soul is not a necessary condition for the ability to cast spells. In other words, the magical beasts in fantasy novels exist, and they can possess magic even without intelligence, acting on instinct."
“There must be some difference between spellcasting by instinct and spellcasting by intelligent beings.”
"Forget about those research directions; they're still too far removed from our current needs. Our most pressing research direction right now is how to create a standardized demon brain."
"What did Muller say? How many standard magical brains will we be able to obtain for research after Merlin opens up the standard magical brains at 5 PM tomorrow?"
Assistant: "Director Mueller said that twenty percent of the amount obtained would be allocated to us."
......
Zheng Li preferred the feeling of being unmonitored in Kuala Lumpur to the Lion City, even though he could easily detect those who were monitoring him.
Zheng Li has deliberately reduced his research workload in Singapore.
The tardigrade radio transmitters he placed on Pluto have been continuously sending signals back to Earth.
News of the existence of a magical civilization has already spread to some extent, starting with astronomy enthusiasts and spreading outwards.
Despite various efforts, countries have been unable to block the magic. website. Without blocking the website, it is impossible to stop the spread of information at its source.
Unable to block the website, countries are urging internet giants to increase their censorship efforts in this area to ensure that everything about Merlin does not spread freely on the internet.
"How many people will be able to get a ticket to magic tomorrow?" Zheng Li wondered.
In his view, Magic Coin is the threshold for obtaining the ability to cast spells. After gaining a deep understanding of Blue Star's technological level and system, Zheng Li believes that this threshold is just right.
To enable universal spellcasting on Earth, the current infrastructure is insufficient. Even if Zheng Li could mass-produce magic brains, he couldn't produce that many.
Instead, we could select a group of people to teach magic and then lead the integration of magic and technology.
In Zheng Li's view, the root cause of the struggle on Earth lies in the scarcity of resources. To get out of this situation, it is necessary to advance the technology tree on one hand, and to move towards space on the other hand.
At 5:29 PM the following day, Magic Coin was launched as scheduled.
During this period, capable institutions or individuals have calculated that the Mars coordinates can be substituted into the Haber algorithm to calculate the Haber constant.
In other words, the coordinates of Mars are fixed magical coins.
Furthermore, by calculating the coordinates of moons in the solar system that may harbor life, such as Enceladus, Titan, and Europa, only Enceladus is considered a likely candidate for intelligent life.
Scientists calculated the coordinates of all the planets in the solar system, and only Mars, Enceladus, and Earth met the requirements.
Planets like Kepler-186f, Gliese 581d, HDg, T e, Gliese 163d, and HDb, which are speculated to harbor life, can only have their locations roughly estimated due to limitations in observation methods.
Scientists are unable to obtain the coordinates of these planets, let alone substitute them into the Haber algorithm for calculations.
Luo Shu underestimated the difficulty of calculating the coordinate system of stars in other galaxies, and he couldn't understand the complex functions, real analysis and measure theory involved in the Haber algorithm.
"Oh no, this is too difficult. I haven't found a single coordinate yet. I only have a rough idea of the coordinates of Mars. Which coordinate on Mars satisfies the Haber algorithm?"
A planet is very large. Just like in three-dimensional coordinates, Earth's south pole and Earth's north pole are both Earth's coordinates, but only one coordinate satisfies the Haber algorithm.
Treating a planet as a smooth manifold, Zheng Li detailed in his introduction to the Haber algorithm how to calculate the "center" of this manifold, using Earth as an example. The coordinates of this "center" are the planet's cosmic coordinates.
The article was published only a day ago, which is far too short for Luo Shu to learn how to calculate the coordinates of a planet in the cosmic coordinate system.
The next day, when the time came, Zheng Li could see in the backend that the number of connections to the biological cloud had reached an all-time high.
Upon seeing the Magic Coin interface, Luo Shu immediately registered his own e-wallet and entered his predicted Mars coordinates. As expected, they did not meet the requirements.
"As expected, I failed. Magic Coin isn't so easy to obtain. It seems I need to learn more."
The Magic Coin, linked to the two celestial bodies Mars and Enceladus, was acquired by the two most powerful nations on Earth—China and America.
The two major powers each received one Magic Coin.
The real power behind America is still hesitating about who to use this Magic Coin on.
“I propose Musk. As the founder of SpaceX, Tesla, and PayPal, Musk has a unique vision for scientific development. What we need now is someone who can be given magic to guide our development.”
"I disagree. Musk hasn't cleared himself of suspicion that he is Merlin."
"Wouldn't it be better if he were Merlin? Wouldn't our choice to use America's only Magic Coin on him demonstrate our goodwill and trust?"
“I also disagree with choosing Musk. The Standard Mind can give people the ability to cast spells. If it is given to Musk, he will be even more difficult to control. We have no means to limit him, just like we have not found Merlin’s shadow so far.”
"I also disagree with Musk. Musk has two citizenships besides America, and his loyalty to America is questionable."
“These are not problems. We can make Musk renounce his citizenship in other countries. Since Musk has so many businesses on Earth, we have ways to restrict him. At the very least, we can ask to know his ‘real name’.”
