Chapter 123 National Level Array

"Of course there is a solution. The simplest way is to first build a magic array in each city, and then form a large magic array from small magic arrays, and finally form a super large magic array covering the entire country."

Uga Shoji shook his head when he said this: "Although this kind of array was also called a national array at that time, from today's perspective, it can only be regarded as a large-scale joint array.

The energy is mobilized slowly and the power loss is large. Not only is it consumed every time it is activated, but the effect it can bring out is limited. And it has to be based on cities as the points of the array. Once too many cities are lost, the overall power of the array will drop rapidly. "

"Huh?" Yang Liu became confused.

When he first heard the name of the national-level magic circle, his first reaction was to think of something similar, but he didn't expect that this didn't count.

"Then what can be considered a national-level magic circle in the modern sense?"

"According to the known information in the extraordinary world, the first country to appear in line with the concept of modern national-level magic array should be the Qin State." Uga Shoji replied.

"Qin Dynasty?" Yang Liu tilted her head.

"No, it's the Qin State, which is the Qin State during the Warring States Period in ancient China." Uga Shoji corrected.

"According to archaeological excavations in the past few years, China seems to have begun to use large-scale joint magic arrays on a large scale during the Zhou Dynasty, which was the so-called national magic array at the time. The seven major powers of the Warring States Period also used similar things, which is why there was a long period of war.

The most important reason why the Qin State, which ended all this, was able to destroy the other six states was that it was the first to complete the national-level magic circle in the modern sense: law.

After the reform, the Qin State abolished the land-based formation method and instead used "people" as the basis and "law" as the conceptual context of the formation.

The spiritual power dissipated by the people in the process of abiding by the law will be accumulated, and then through special means, this energy can be used to provide great blessings to the army.

Although the effect is simple, the amplification is very strong. The most important thing is that this array can be opened normally because of its high efficiency in collecting energy. It is not like other large-scale joint arrays, which consume a lot of materials and energy every time they are opened. "

"I didn't expect there was such a history." Yang Liu's heart was overwhelmed when he heard this. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind the real history.

Uga Shoji then shook his head regretfully: "But after all, it is the most primitive national-level magic circle, and the first batch of people who built it had no experience, so it consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

The assets accumulated by the six generations of the Qin Dynasty were almost exhausted, and in order to obtain energy more efficiently, the laws formulated in the late Qin Dynasty became more and more comprehensive.

However, the overly comprehensive laws also meant that citizens would be bound by the laws in all aspects. Once they did something illegal, they would be damaging national interests. As a result, the Qin Dynasty became increasingly harsh in enforcing the laws.

As the people's hearts and minds fell apart, the national magic array that was originally built based on "people" also collapsed, indirectly leading to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

The later dynasties learned the lesson of the Qin Dynasty's demise and chose to divide the construction base of the national magic array between people and land. As for whether to focus on people or land, it depends on each dynasty's own choice. For example, the national magic array of the later Han Dynasty: One Han against Five Barbarians, its base is based on several major capitals as the core, and the blood of the Han people as the secondary base. By killing enemies of non-local cultural groups to absorb their soul power, they continuously improve the body and blood of the people in a targeted manner, so as to achieve specialized killing of foreign races. "

"So exaggerated?" Yang Liu was a little surprised.

Uga Shoji said this with some envy: "It is indeed exaggerated. The effect of the national-level magic circle of the Han Dynasty in China is still quite powerful even in modern times. Even though the specific magic circle has long been destroyed, the effect left by this magic circle has even been passed down through the bloodline and has an impact to this day.

Whenever there is a disaster of genocide in this country, the entire ethnic group will continuously produce geniuses. This is one of the effects left by this magic circle, and it is also an important factor in why you call yourselves the Han people."

Yang Liu suddenly became curious: "What is the effect of Japan's current national-level magic circle?"

Uga Shoji coughed awkwardly upon hearing this, and glanced at Yang Liu cautiously: "In theory, the national-level magic arrays of each country are absolutely confidential, because once the specific effects are known to others, their weaknesses will be exposed.

But... for some reason, Japan's national magic circle was built under the supervision of China and the United States, so it is semi-public."

Yang Liu touched his chin, his expression becoming playful: "Can you actually play it this way?"

"After all, for those big countries, even a national-level magic circle can be used as a means to increase production."

Although Uga Shoji's tone was somewhat helpless, it was surprisingly calm. He was not as bitter and resentful as Yang Liu had imagined:
"Although it has not been fully disclosed, it can be basically inferred that the effects of Japan's current national-level magic circle, in addition to those conventional effects, the most special one is that it can convert positive and negative energy according to 'stability'."

"Stability?"

“It is an indicator unique to Japan’s national magic circle. With 50% as the dividing point, when the stability exceeds 50%, the magic circle can collect the positive energy emotions generated by the citizens, and when it is below 50%, it can collect negative energy emotions.

As for the method of maintaining stability, it is determined based on the country's own atmosphere, the state of the economy, the size of social pressure and so on.

If the stability is too low, it will make it easier for evil spirits to be born in the territory.

However, the most critical point of this magic circle is the moment when the stability exceeds 50%. When the stability rises from low to high, the magic circle can convert all the negative energy accumulated inside into positive energy, and vice versa. "

Yang Liu immediately recalled what he had said before about the gods: "In other words... Japan can cultivate gods in large quantities through the converted positive energy?"

"Yes, when a god is born, it will convert the positive energy it absorbs into highly condensed spiritual power with certain special properties and transform it into its own body. Because of its various unique and excellent effects, these special highly condensed spiritual powers are called divine substances. Japan is the world's largest producer of divine substances, and its annual production of divine substances accounts for more than 70% of the world's total exports." Uga Akiji introduced expressionlessly.

In his words, there is no difference between so-called gods and livestock such as cows.
