In Fang Zheng's opinion, Academy City itself does not look very advanced. Although the animation says that it is thirty years ahead of the outside world, in Fang Zheng's opinion, it is only three years... Strictly speaking, apart from the fact that the buildings look newer and have a stronger sense of science fiction, Academy City does not look more sci-fi than other places.

Of course, it cannot be compared with the Tiandao Palace.

After taking a quick bus tour around Academy City, everyone came to one of the schools to experience a simulated course on ability development. The lecturer was a teacher who looked about the same height as an elementary school student and in fact gave people the feeling of being an elementary school student... Teacher Xiao Meng.

It was not until this time that Fang Zheng finally perked up and began to listen attentively to the other party's explanation.

"...In summary, the most important thing in the ability development course in Academy City is personal reality, that is, obtaining a reality that belongs only to you. This is the basis of all superpowers..."

Uh-huh……

"In the process of understanding personal reality, it is impossible to avoid the quantum theory based on the uncertainty principle proposed by Heisenberg..."

Hmmm... Hmm? What the hell?

"The common point among them is that their goal is probability theory..."

Huh…?

Hearing this, Fang Zheng was completely dumbfounded. He stared at Teacher Xiao Meng on the podium and felt completely stunned.

Are you fucking kidding me?

What the hell is this?

Although what you said sounds very high-sounding, but in essence, how is it different from his "Qigong particle research" and "wave quantum speed reading" back then?

Aren't they all just a hoax?! I'm here to listen to a lecture on superpowers, can you give me something reliable? You link superpowers with quantum mechanics, which sounds very high-sounding, but is there any connection between the two?

Forget it, maybe this is just part of external publicity.

Considering that developing super powers is Academy City's trump card, they probably won't actually offer real super power development courses for public viewing. What if someone steals it and uses it to develop super powers somewhere else...haha, wouldn't that be stupid?

So Fang Zheng quickly put away his mentality and focused on petting the cat. On the contrary, Riko listened with great interest. For her, who had always been discriminated against by her family for not having abilities, the superpower development in Academy City was Riko's last straw. Although she didn't know, in Fang Zheng's opinion, all this was nonsense...

After a MLM class that Fang Zheng thought was completely nonsense, Teacher Xiao Meng finally calmed down for a while and then invited a few students with superpowers to perform. Only then did Fang Zheng become more alert. After all, he was a god after all. He could basically understand the essence of this kind of thing just by taking a look at it.

The only pity was that Fang Zheng didn't recognize any of the superpower users who came. They all looked like there were just there for show, at least not Level 5. The superpowers they performed were also very ordinary, such as telekinesis, water control and so on. But as he watched... Fang Zheng still figured out some tricks.

However……

"This is really interesting."

Touching his chin, Fang Zheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes while watching the super power demonstration in front of him. Although it does look like a super power, and it sounds like a super power, Fang Zheng can see that this so-called super power is actually the same as the magic in the Zero World!

It’s all about manipulating particles!

However, in the world of Zero no Tsukaima, the four elements of wind, water, fire and earth are divided because of their different natures, while in this world, the classification is scientific, but the essence is actually the same. For example, the telekinetic psychic is a wind magician in Zero no Tsukaima's world, and the one who controls water flow is a water magician in Zero no Tsukaima's world...

Their working principles are basically the same, which is to think in the brain, obtain models, and then manipulate particles into the desired form.

It's just that this step in Zero's world is a little more "magical". For example, when it comes to healing injuries, the healing technique in Zero's world is based on the knowledge that "after chanting the spell, the wound can be healed". In this world, it becomes the idea of ​​"manipulating the body to accelerate the solidification to repair the wound".

The expressions are different, but the essence is the same.

But it is not surprising. After all, according to the records of that world, the "magicians" of the Zero World were originally people from this world. Although it was said at the time that the ancestor opened the door and led a large army to flee to the Zero World in order to escape the pursuit of another tribe, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that there must not be only one such tribe on the entire earth. If the ancestor fled to the Zero World with his tribe, wouldn't the other people with special abilities still stay in this world?

Come to think of it, they actually want to counterattack this world... Hehe, I'm afraid they won't even know how they died.

Fortunately, Red Ponytail stopped him.

But think about it carefully, if Louise is in this world, then she should be a Level 5 superpower, after all, she is a void magician, and void magic is simply the ability to manipulate atoms. This is why Louise's other magic will explode - if you use the method of manipulating molecules to manipulate atoms, isn't it natural for you to explode?

But in any case, this has nothing to do with the uncertainty theorem of quantum theory. Of course, if someone has superpowers and can manipulate particles, learning these things may help deepen their mastery and research of their abilities. But you are developing superpowers, and you want someone who can't even do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to learn calculus? You are crazy.

It turns out that public teaching is all nonsense.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately opened his personal terminal and hacked into the network system of Academy City, wanting to take a look at their teaching plan. As a result... the more Fang Zheng looked, the more surprised he was, because... these things were simply nonsense!

According to the teaching materials Fang Zheng had investigated, the so-called "personal reality" was indeed the focus of Academy City's superpower development, but its foundation was very strange.

That is to believe!

Believe in yourself - okay, this one is somewhat reliable.

Believe in the world - this... I don’t know how to put it.

Believe in science - this is nonsense!

Overall, Fang Zheng feels that this crappy place is not scientific at all!

What does it mean to believe in science? Science is a way of looking at things. It is to look at the value of something with a scientific worldview and method.

But what does it mean to believe in science here?

Believe in all scientific theories!

This made Fang Zheng at a loss for words... Any scientific theory is not the truth, and it needs to be tested. It is also very likely that later discoveries may overturn the previous reasoning. However, the teachers in Academy City completely regard scientific theories as the truth, requiring students to "worship" them, so as to shape their own "personal reality"!

In Fang Zheng's opinion, this is bullshit!

In other words, as a person with super powers, one must first firmly believe that the basic theory that builds one's abilities is an eternal and unchanging truth! ?

Is this a joke?

What if science develops in the future and new discoveries overturn previous theories? What will happen to these people then?

If a person with super powers who firmly believes in geocentrism encounters heliocentrism, what should he do?

Is he going to have a headshot?!

What kind of bullshit superpower development is this? This is clearly religious brainwashing! Isn't this the religion of science?

After figuring out all this, Fang Zheng finally solved the confusion he had when watching the animation. When Fang Zheng watched the animations of Toaru Majutsu no Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun, there were several places that puzzled him. Take the tree diagram designer, for example. The animation said it was a supercomputer that could not be surpassed in 25 years, and it predicted the weather every day completely and accurately.

But it’s just a computer after all!

What's the result?

Oh, the tree diagram designer said that as long as you kill 20,000 Misaka Mikoto you can reach Lv6, so everyone went to do it.

The tree diagram designer said this wouldn’t work, so the scientist immediately despaired. Oh my god, even the tree diagram designer said this wouldn’t work, so my idea must be wrong! There is no other way!

When Fang Zheng watched the animation at that time, he thought it was stupid.

It's just a computer!

Even if it is 25 years more advanced than the world, it is still a computer, right? Why do those teachers and scientists in Academy City worship the orders of that computer as if it were an oracle?

Is this normal?

Is this a normal, rational scientific reaction?

Besides, even if the tree diagram designer said that killing 20,000 Misakas would level up, so what? What theory is this based on? What model did they come up with? Aren’t the models and calculation methods designed by humans? Take Fang Zheng for example, he can also design a framework now, and then conclude that after killing 20,000 Misakas, someone can reach level 6. Isn’t this simple?

Just upload the model.

In the final analysis, the designer of the tree diagram is just a supercomputer, not even an AI, but this group of people actually took its words as the truth... Now Fang Zheng finally understood the reason.

After all this trouble, it turns out that this damn place is not a scientific city at all. It is the holy city of the Church of Science!

"Come on, Riko, stop listening to this nonsense."

After the visit, Fang Zheng made up his mind.

This crappy place is simply misleading. Whoever comes in will be the one paying the IQ tax!

"Eh? Is this all nonsense?"

Li Zi, who was originally very excited, was quite surprised after hearing what Fang Zheng said.

"But it sounds reasonable to me, and there are indeed many people with super powers in Academy City..."

"Indeed there are many, but most of them are powerless. Academy City's superpower development is not reliable at all. Forget it. After watching today, I already know what this superpower development is all about. I'll do it for you when I get back!"

"Why--!?"
