Chapter 225 The Power of Results
"Indeed, mana is the power to make your wishes come true."
"But because of this, don't you think this is very strange?"
"Strange?" Chen Shijian and Meng Qiannian looked at each other. "What's strange about that? The power of magic has always been like this."
I saw Shuhai slowly shaking his head.
“No, no, no, in the eyes of a researcher like me, the power of mana is actually a very strange power.
There shouldn’t be anything like this in the world.”
Having said that, Shuhai's eyes were filled with deep thought.
“Let’s put it this way, if I and many ordinary scientific researchers want to get a result, it requires countless conjectures.
From the initial flash of inspiration to detailed preparation, carefully planning each step, and then implementing the plan and conducting experiments.
In this process, failure is commonplace. We fall down again and again and stand up again and again.
Even so, the final results are often unsatisfactory.
To achieve one success, we have to go through countless failures.”
Having said this, Shuhai sighed slightly and continued:
“But the power of the Dharma is different. Those who seek the Dharma want to do something and achieve something, although they will go through a painful psychological process.
But after the pain, those who seek the Dharma gain the power of magic and magical powers. The magic power seems to be able to help them skip this difficult process and get the results directly.
This is truly a miracle, and it is amazing that dreams can come true.”
"I used to admire this power very much, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of studying brain-computer simulation to simulate this power." Shuhai's expression became complicated, "But now, my thoughts have changed. I began to think, is this really a good thing?"
There was a trace of confusion and worry in Shu Hai's eyes, "Many people who have gained magical powers feel as if they have received a gift from God.
They think they are omnipotent, and often in a fit of rage, they can soar into the sky, and each of them is like a dragon.
But now I think about it, maybe this is not a blessing, but a potential curse."
"Curse? From your description, can this kind of power be called a curse? I still think it's a blessing."
"I can understand your idea." Chen Shijian still couldn't understand, but Meng Qiannian suddenly agreed. She agreed with Shu Hai's point of view.
“If you think of human civilization as a child that is growing and learning.”
“Many of the difficulties that humanity is currently facing are like the difficulties that children encounter in their studies.
And mana is like throwing the answer directly in front of the child.
Humans copy without thinking, completely ignoring the thinking process.
Although many things seem to be resolved quickly, many problems seem to have direct answers or even processes. "
Meng Qiannian paused, then continued: “However, in this process, children gradually lose their motivation to learn, and their interest in exploration also slowly disappears.
If this continues for a long time, the foundation of human civilization will inevitably become unstable, and our need for the power of mana will gradually deepen, just like a seedling that is being forced to grow.
This is the same as those kids in the class who copy homework every day. They will never get as good grades in the future as those kids who think and solve problems by themselves every day.
It’s not that the power of the Dharma cannot bring about the process of obtaining answers, it’s just that humans are becoming increasingly lazy to go through this process.”
Meng Qiannian: "From this perspective, magic power is castrating human thinking and practical abilities, and even castrating people's patience and desire for exploration."
“If one day, human civilization reaches the point where the learning child is too lazy to even copy answers, then humanity will be doomed!”
The more Chen Shijian thought about what Meng Qiannian said, the more frightened he became.
“The power of mana, the power of results, is like a poison to the entire human civilization.”
Chen Shijian's expression turned serious, "The dosage of this poison in every era might be very weak, and there might not be any harm at first.
But as time goes by, the toxins accumulated over a long period of time will be extremely considerable.
It takes advantage of the inherent bad nature and laziness of human beings, and while helping you, it poisons your nature at the same time.”
“Too scary!”
The three of them thought about it carefully and couldn't help but break out in cold sweats.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy and depressing, and everyone felt like a huge rock was pressing on their hearts.
Suddenly, a sound rang out from the room, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"Jiu Hai, Shi Jian. Are you in the room?"
It was Meng Ning's voice. Shu Hai then remembered that Shi Jian's original purpose in coming to see him was to convey the summons from his adoptive father Meng Ning.
"Oh no, we've been delayed for a long time. I'm afraid my godfather must be getting impatient."
"I will go with you. Together we can explain the pros and cons and convince our foster father."
"I will go with Brother Zhuzi too. Humph! Lao Deng's mental state is unstable now and he has to rely on my magical powers. He has to consider what I say!"
The three of them looked at each other and moved together towards the throne where Meng Ning was.
Meng Ning on the throne seemed to sense something, sighed and shook his head silently.
The three of them hurried to the throne room, but as soon as they entered, Shu Hai saw Meng Qiannian and Chen Shijian beside them suddenly froze.
The two of them seemed to have their fate suddenly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and fell into a strange pause.
In an instant, little pink flowers rose from the ground like a dream. They were delicate and gorgeous, with a mysterious light flickering on the edges of their petals.
These small flowers spread rapidly in a graceful yet irresistible manner, like flexible ribbons, gently yet firmly entangling Meng Qiannian and Chen Shijian.
Each flower seems to have its own life. They dance and intertwine, forming an airtight pink cage.
Time seemed to have stopped for the two entangled people. Their expressions were frozen at that moment, and the excitement and hope in their eyes were also frozen at that moment.
Beneath the dreamlike beauty, the sea of trees feels an indescribable terrifying danger.
He looked up at Meng Ning on the throne, and saw that his expression was as cold as a stream in late autumn, revealing a terrifying chill that made people's hearts palpitate.
"Jiu Hai, I always thought you weren't a fool. Where did your rationality go?"
With just one sentence, Shu Hai felt as if his throat was being strangled, and his mind was spinning wildly in the sky.
This was the terrifying pressure from the strongest man in the world. Just a hint of murderous aura made this top scientific and technological talent feel the breath of death, as if the god of death was kissing his neck with his scythe.
"I'm...I'm sorry, godfather. I...I lost my composure..." After a few breaths, Shuhai finally uttered a few words.
The first thing he said was an apology. After he finished apologizing, Shuhai only felt that the breath of death in the air had disappeared. He then gasped violently and exhaled sharply.
The air had never been so sweet to Shuhai at this moment.
Seeing Shuhai like this, Meng Ning nodded and spoke softly.
"Xiao Hai, it's time to start the Sea of Trees Project."
