Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 129: Searching for Aliens' Magic, the Two Sides of Magic

Since ancient times, humans have had special feelings for things that they find difficult to understand.

The worship of mountains, rivers, fear of mountain spirits and monsters, and awe of ghosts and gods in the dark.

The sun, which has been hanging high in the sky and benefiting all things before the birth of mankind, and the moon, which brings tides and night light, are naturally more revered by humans.

In almost all mythologies around the world, the gods who control the sun and the moon often have a relatively high status in the pantheon.

However, different civilizations have different interpretations of the meaning of the sun and the moon.

In Eastern civilization, the moon, also known as the lunar star, symbolizes night, water, women, and fertility.

In mysticism, it is a quiet, gentle, accepting and auxiliary force for the growth of all things. It also means mystery, purity and immortality.

The literary level is loneliness, longing, and reunion.

Western civilization is similar to it, but also different.

In Western culture, the moon has the connotation of madness, in addition to its mysteriousness that is often associated with femininity, femininity, fertility and magic.

The moon is the protector of evil and the source of madness.

The werewolves transform by looking at the moon, and the dark magic creatures such as vampires appear at night, which are also influenced by this aspect.

The interpretation of the moon in life is also different from the "eternal immortality" in the East. In the West, it represents the cycle of life and death. The waxing and waning of the moon is a metaphor for the cycle of life and death.

When Roger was trying to create the Moon Rabbit, he could clearly feel the echo of the thoughts flowing in the moon, which had been placed in the heart of countless intelligent creatures since ancient times.

The echo was too strong, much stronger than what he felt on Earth, which made Roger understand why magic became weaker after leaving Earth and being away from the collective subconscious sea of ​​human beings, but became stronger after getting closer to the moon.

"Under the magic, longing can transcend distance." It is like quantum entanglement in quantum mechanics.

'Magic' is a whole. As long as changes occur within its coverage area, its entirety will instantly change.

It is like another sea of subconsciousness that is larger than human Alaya and covers the deep space of the universe. If one person creates a spell, another person thousands of miles away can also use this magic by chanting the spell.

Rather than having to start from scratch.

When a person starts to miss someone, a reaction will occur on the other side of the starry sky.

"Harry, I seem to have found the 'steam engine' that belongs to wizards." Roger conveyed his will to Harry with a smile on his face.

Humans have been boiling water for thousands of years. It was not until modern times, when the relevant technology matured, that the steam engine was born, leading to the Industrial Revolution and ushering in a new era for mankind, an era of rapid development.

Those seemingly simplest things often have the power to change everything.

Fantasy Creation can reconstruct already determined magical creatures and allow them to change according to one's own wishes.

And another new law he discovered...

Roger's gaze suddenly changed, turning from the earth and Harry to the farther distance, the deep dark universe.

"The universe is huge. There are nearly 4000 billion star systems in the Milky Way, and nearly 2 trillion galaxies like the Milky Way. 2 trillion times 4000 billion, plus billions of years, the possibility that humans are the only life in the universe is extremely small."

After all, if even something as low-probability as time travel can happen, let alone extraterrestrial life.

Ever since he officially set foot in the magical world, his imaginary enemies have always been from outside the world.

Is there other life in the universe? If so, do they use magic? Roger once asked Professor McGonagall this question.

Professor McGonagall did not give him an answer, but at this moment, Roger realized that perhaps he could search for the answer himself.

If there is another magical civilization under this starry sky.

Then they will definitely look up and have endless reverie about the starry sky.

if.

I found too much "missing" in a star or galaxy that humans don't care about, then...

At this moment, the word "Dark Forest" flashed through Roger's mind. Could it be that, in the distant other side of the starry sky, there was also a magical civilization that discovered this law, and that they were born first and were observing him at this moment?
Roger suppressed his joy at discovering the new role of fantasy creation and sighed silently: "The more I know, the more insignificant I feel."

He understood why many astronomers, sociologists and other scientific researchers, when studying possible cosmic civilizations, would come up with absurd conclusions like "aliens must be friendly after developing for so many years," which ignores the development and changes of all things.

On Earth, there is a generation gap between humans every three years, and people in different periods have different ideas. Even if aliens are kind at a certain stage, they can't remain unchanged forever, right?

And if we bring this factor into the picture, and the statement "alien life forms are not necessarily friendly" holds true, then the future that humans face, and even their present and past, will become quite terrifying!
The fear of the unknown is enough to drive many people crazy and cause things to go in a bad direction.

Although aware of this, Roger had no intention of joining in.

After thinking for a moment, Roger told Harry about his discovery of a method that could be used to determine whether there were other civilizations in the universe by observing the gathering of thoughts.

And passed on his own thoughts: "Harry, what I can think of, there will definitely be others who can think of it in the future."

"If you meet someone who has similar thoughts, remember to warn him not to step into the forbidden area at will. It is very dangerous to rashly initiate the third kind of contact when you are too weak."

Confucius and Mencius said, "Man is born good." With their wisdom, they certainly can see the evil side of human beings.

Xunzi saw the evil in human beings and hoped to correct it in his own way.

Confucius and Mencius stopped arguing about the "nature of human nature" and instead directly defined human nature, laying the foundation for the development of civilization.

Human nature is good and must be good. Even Mencius once said that those who are not compassionate and are not good are not worthy of being human beings, and they should be expelled from the human race and the debate should be ended directly.

They believe that only by making human kindness the foundation of civilization and resisting and expelling those who are not kind can the world develop better, so they proposed this theory.

Modern scientists are also trying to believe that "aliens are good in nature and their high civilizations must have high morals."

But... this will also make many people have too many unrealistic fantasies about extraterrestrial civilizations.

Once aliens really arrive, the adventists who think that the moon on the Three-Body Planet is rounder will most likely appear.

Roger didn't want to see such a future. He didn't like killing. So in order to have less blood on his hands in the future, Roger refused to join their team and take the lead in bragging.

"Oh." Harry nodded, responding with a vague understanding.

Roger didn't say anything more about this.

The development of the times is about to accelerate, but now is before everything happens. Saying more at this time will not make Harry have too many feelings.

So, just planting a seed is enough.

As for the rest, he will understand it when the time comes and he recalls what he said today.

The unpredictability of magic once brought a lot of difficulties to Roger's magic research and caused the wizard civilization to stagnate for thousands of years. Roger once hated this.

But today's ideas have changed a little. In a sense, magic is also a kind of cosmic civilization's "big filter" like the nuclear energy and source crisis. If there really are aliens, Roger believes that there must be quite a lot of civilizations shackled by magic.

Just like the current wizard civilization on Earth, its development has stagnated, which has invisibly reduced the number of potential enemies in the future.

Pure technology route?

Roger didn't think that after knowing the magic of magic, someone would never think of "cutting corners". Once they fall into the trap of magic and become dependent on it, they will want to get out of it...

That's difficult.

After the conversation, Roger cast a layer of powerful defensive magic on the Dream Builder, which already had the ability to conceal its form.

They have just landed on the moon, and Roger and Harry still have a lot to explore on the moon.

The Dream Builder was so big that the two of them couldn't carry it with them, so they could only cast a spell to prevent meteorites from hitting it and keep it where it was.

"Let's go, our next stop is the back of the moon!"

In his previous life, Roger had read a lot of information about the moon in his childhood. The mysterious back side of the moon was naturally a must-visit place on this trip.
