Chapter 16 Choosing Science for Magic
Both Jennifer and Karen tacitly kept the secret of the party day, especially after studying with Locke, they were even more reluctant to spread the secret easily.

After all, there are too many things that Locke usually has to be busy with. In addition to mixed martial arts, marksmanship, and cold weapons, the skills that need to be brushed up are more important than math, physics, and chemistry, especially after learning magic.

Originally, Locke didn't have that much time. If the news got out, there would be more wolves and less meat. If you want to experience it, you don't know how long you will have to wait.

Since meeting Balthazar in New York, even after returning to Dallas, Locke still kept in touch with Balthazar, often asking him about magic.

Among the magician's apprentices, the magician has been passed down for thousands of years, but it is closely related to science, and the requirements for IQ are extremely high.

According to Balthazar, the reason why a magician can cast magic is because his utilization rate of the brain is far higher than that of ordinary people, and he can use the potential of the brain more.

For example, Dave, the successor of Merlin, is also a talent with a high IQ. He studied molecular physics in university.

For example, the most basic call to fire.

Vibration heats up the molecules. Even if it is a solid, the molecules that make it up are constantly moving. As long as the vibration of the molecules is accelerated through mobilization of magic power, the temperature of the object can be raised rapidly, thus directly igniting the object.

Of course, according to Locke's conjecture, the ancient magicians cast spells one by one, but they obviously didn't understand the root cause, but based on experience and their own imagination, through continuous attempts, they summed up and created one magic after another.

With the development of science, some phenomena can already be explained by science, and Balthazar will then link these scientific theories with magic.

Of course, modern science has its limitations. Many descriptions of magic in the magic book obtained by Locke still cannot be explained by existing scientific theories.

For example, shapeshifting involves various space theories and complex calculations, which obviously cannot be explained by modern science. When learning how to perform it, you can only learn and use it carefully according to the magic book.

After all, when these magics were created, countless magicians researched and experimented, and even sacrificed themselves to summarize them little by little.

Locke originally planned to choose a major in economic management when he was in college. The money he earned in finance could be invested in the banking industry, control a large bank, and then establish his own chaebol through investment.

For example, Wells Fargo, which is still a local bank, is a good choice.

But since this world has extraordinary abilities, then chasing the extraordinary and achieving longevity has become Locke's first goal, and wealth and power are naturally postponed.

No matter how much wealth and power there is, it will inevitably turn into a handful of loess after death, but Chaofan can have a chance to live forever.

Balthazar has lived for thousands of years and is still alive and kicking. Since science can be helpful for learning and understanding magic, Locke decided to major in mathematics in his university. After all, mathematics is the foundation of all science.

In addition, physics and chemistry are also essential.

If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you are not afraid to travel all over the world, especially after becoming a magician. After understanding the principles of magic, Locke has decided to be a mathematician.

Seeing that Locke still arranges his time at school extremely tight, and the girls who still frequently refuse invitations, even Mandy and Jennifer, only agree to hang out together when they are free on weekends.

Lip couldn't understand this, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw that Locke still didn't forget to read related books on the derivation of quantum physics from the quark model while eating.

He originally thought that Locke would have more dates after experiencing the beauty of girls, so that he could also get a chance, but it turned out that he thought too much.

Locke gave him a contemptuous look. After spending so long together, he had already seen through Lip.

"I have good news to announce today," Peggy said.

"What good news."

"You know that I gave a lecture on quantum chromodynamics at high temperature in a lecture on quantum chromodynamics some time ago."

"Yes, I was with you. After you answered Dr. John Sturgis's question, he invited you to give a lecture, which was very good."

"After this, I have been in touch with Dr. John Sturgess, and he invited me to sit in on his class yesterday."

"Very good, congratulations." Locke said with a smile.

"It should be congratulations to the two of us." Peggy said to Locke.

"What do you mean?"

"I told Dr. Sturgis that you wanted to sit in, and he agreed, so you could drive me there."

"What." Locke was taken aback: "Why didn't Linda take you there?"

"You know." Peggy shrugged her shoulders: "Because you often accompany me to technology exhibitions or lectures, my mother and father go out on dates from time to time, and now they are in the period of passion."

Locke didn't know how to say it. In order to trigger more tasks, he really took care of Peggy and gained a lot of potential points. Now it seems that Peggy has formed a habit.

And compared to Linda, Peggy prefers to be with Locke, because the two can discuss more common topics.

Mentioning Dr. John Sturgess, Locke thought of Little Sheldon, and it seemed that he first met Peggy in his class.

When Locke was a volunteer in the church, he also met Little Sheldon face to face. After recognizing him, he didn't have the slightest idea of ​​getting to know each other.

The reason is also very simple, that is, I don't want to make friends with Sheldon very much.

Anyone who has watched The Big Bang Theory knows that Sheldon has been an annoyance since he was a child. Maybe it will be interesting to watch Sheldon interact with other people while watching TV series.

But when it was really his turn, it could be said that no one could stand being with him all day long.

Some people on the Internet also said that they should be more tolerant of people like Sheldon, but this is just a keyboard man who can stand and talk without back pain. It really makes them get along with such people all day long. It may not take a few days for him to will be unbearable.

On the contrary, Peggy is as proud as Sheldon in science, but her emotional intelligence is very high, and she can easily mingle with those high school girls in school.

When she first met Locke, she was very rude because she regarded Locke as an opponent at that time, but now, the two get along very happily.

If it was changed to Little Sheldon, Locke really couldn't guarantee whether he couldn't help but beat him to death.

But after thinking about it, Peggy, a supporting role, can trigger so many tasks and increase the speed of accumulating potential points by a few percent. If she is replaced by Sheldon, I don't know if it will bring more surprises.

Thinking of this, Locke said with some reluctance, "In that case, I'll go with you. I'm also very interested in Dr. John Sturges's courses."
