Chapter 490 Inspiring "Genius"

Although the top leaders of both the Alchemist Association and the Magic Association agreed to this cooperation, both sides also restricted the personnel involved in the research from revealing the real key technologies in their hands to each other.

This caused some technical problems, such as the duplication of functional structures and old-fashioned and conservative technology, which were severely criticized by Perfect.

Although there are problems such as insufficient technical level and innovation ability of the participants, the main factor is that both sides are restricted in their performance.

However, when this system came into Perfect's hands, she naturally improved it quickly, removing the repetitive and wasteful parts, improving energy conversion efficiency and other issues. It can even be called a technological iteration.

All of Perfectcot's operations were merely improvements based on her own knowledge and technical strength, without even using the upgrade and optimization capabilities of the Eye of All-Seeing.

However, even so, it deeply shocked Schopenhauer and Weasley, allowing the two young men to see that the differences between people are sometimes greater than the differences between people and dogs.

Schopenhauer and Weasley are the two dogs that were shown off.

They fully realized how outrageous it was that he could be called the most talented alchemist in the empire, a top genius who had left his name in history and was written into textbooks at the age of sixteen.

Compared with Perfectoct, they felt that they had lived a dog's life for the past thirty years.

Especially Schopenhauer, although he had fully realized how powerful this talented girl was through reading Proficot's research results.

But when he actually saw with his own eyes that the technical problems that were originally difficult for him to solve were easily solved by Perfectok as if a university mathematics professor solved elementary school mathematics problems, he clearly realized that compared with Perfectok, he was like an unevolved monkey.

"Why do you have such an idea?" After noticing Schopenhauer's idea, Perfect looked at this young genius who was once as famous as himself in Langton with some surprise. After thinking for a while, he said, "You find it difficult because of your knowledge structure, not because you are dumber than me, or because there is an essential gap in IQ between you and me.

Although I do not deny that there is probably no one in this world who is smarter than me, your problem is that your knowledge structure is limited. You have received the most traditional alchemy education, which has made you form a mindset that you need to find a known theoretical basis for whatever you do.

I am not saying that this is a bad thing, but it undoubtedly deprives you of your innovative spirit. You can only move forward along the path opened up and planned by your predecessors. You cannot break out of the inherent thinking of your predecessors and look at problems from a completely new perspective.

It's like a person walking on the road. Because the person in front of him can only walk with his feet and only walks on this road, you can only walk on this road he has opened up with your feet like him.

You can't surpass him, you can't jump out of the path he has opened up, it's even more impossible to open up a new path yourself, and you can't even step on the high-speed train running next to you. "

At this point, Perfect couldn't help but sigh deeply, shook his head helplessly and said, "This is the inherent common problem of traditional alchemists. Alchemists like you who have received traditional alchemy education in the past, or even those who come from alchemy families, all have this problem. This has become a shackle that restricts you from exerting your talents, and is also the biggest obstacle to your growth.

Some of you may be able to break out of this mindset that limits your development, but some of you will never be able to get out of your comfort zone.

I don’t know which one you are, but I hope you can carve out a new path for yourself, because in my opinion your talent should not be limited in this way, and your achievements should not stop here.”

For Schopenhauer, being denied all the education he had received in the past with such an attitude and tone by Perfecto was undoubtedly an event that subverted his three views and cognition.

But when Schopenhauer felt that everything he had in his mind was denied and overturned by Perfect, he could not help but ask himself: Was he really wrong? Was what Perfect said true? Was he really limited by his education and knowledge?
The answer is yes.

Schopenhauer, who received the most traditional alchemist education since childhood, was told since childhood that he needed to follow the laws of alchemy, the laws of physics, the teachings of his family elders, and the...

There were too many things he needed to obey, and the rules had restricted him to the point where he could not move. Whether in his academic research on alchemy or in his daily life, he strictly followed the teachings of his parents in his childhood and did not dare to make any mistakes.

This certainly allowed him to grow up step by step along the path planned for him by his parents. He never encountered any setbacks in his life, and naturally became the genius praised by everyone in Langton.

Originally, Schopenhauer was extremely confident in himself. He believed that the path planned for him by his parents was the most suitable one. He also believed that he was a true genius, and he did not think there was anything wrong with all this.

But when Perfect showed up and destroyed his self-confidence and pride in a way that was completely beyond his understanding, causing him to even begin to doubt his life, he had to think about whether everything Perfect said was true.

After all, Perfect is now the most accomplished alchemist in the entire empire, and even in the world. She is also an authority on the new discipline of fantasy alchemy. Even if what she says is just a joke, people will interpret it seriously.

It's like in the original world, if an ordinary girl next door tells you, who has already obtained a doctorate degree and even has the opportunity to become a university professor, that you are reading the wrong books and are just studying blindly, you will definitely not listen.

But if top scientists like Einstein and Madame Curie told you that you were wrong, even if they were just joking, I'm afraid you would seriously think about whether you were really wrong, right?
Schopenhauer was undoubtedly in such a situation now. He had already fallen into a state of doubt about his life because of the brilliant achievements made by Perfecto. Now Perfecto's words made him start to reflect on himself completely.

And seeing that he seemed to have taken his words to heart, Perfect said to him, "There are some of my notes in the library of the Lord's Mansion. If you are interested, you can take a look. Perhaps it can provide you with a different idea."
