People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Author: Chun Ming

Summary:

[There is no proper practice, it’s all about technology. 】

Qin Xuan, who was engaged in scientific research in his previous life, traveled to the Fuyuki Gosan family, and the world line gradually collapsed from then on...

"The twenty-seventh ancestor of the Dead Apostles? Try my Five Elements Fusion Array!"

"The clock tower at the center of the Western magic world? Mathers and Aleister don't even take it seriously!"

"Ainsworth wants to rewrite the planet's mythology? Has he asked the old man Chaos next to me?"

"The Holy Church launches a third war? Mobius and Velvet flip the table and switch to the scientific phase!"

"The next world line is in a crisis of humanity? We came just in time to see what the Fourth Disaster is!"

"The beast of disaster? It's not even half as good as the final trial of a human like me!"

……

Qin Xuan carried the World Tree of the Cave Heaven on his back and held Mooncell in his hand, facing the kings of the Lostbelts, the Predator Wanderers, the Blue Glitter Galaxy, and the powerful enemies of the multiverse, "Who else is not convinced?"

This game's universe numbering and character distinction

Since the Maji volume, I have written about other parallel worlds (Type-Moon), so it is inevitable that the characters from the parallel worlds will appear at the same time and it is difficult to distinguish the names of the characters. The solution I thought of was to imitate Marvel and add universe numbers.

Marvel's numbering method is mostly numbers, which is a bit arbitrary, so I will use the abbreviation of the relevant work name + letter number.

When isotopes from different universes appear, they are distinguished by "character name (number)". If only a single character appears in the scene and there are no isotopes, usually no number is added.

(To clarify, this does not mean that all characters in the book are called this way. This is a distinction that only appears in more formal scenes, or when there is really no other way. If there is a better way, such as calling him Shirou Emiya in this world and Emiya Giant Warrior in the Miyu line, it will be used first)

The following are examples of universe numbering and character numbering. Not all related stories will be written about, but there may be characters with corresponding numbers appearing. In the future, new parallel worlds and multiverses will be updated as appropriate.

This universe (origin universe): EARTH-Origin

Character number: When appearing at the same time as other worlds, the characters in this universe are not numbered by default.

Fate/kaleid liner (Magical Girl Illya): EARTH-KL, EARTH-KLB (Miyu World)

Character number: Character name (KL) / Character name (KLβ)

"Fate/Grand Order": EARTH-GO

Character ID: Character Name (GO)

Fate/Extra: EARTH-E

Character ID: Character Name (E)

"Fate/Extra CCC": EARTH-CCC

Character number: Character name (CCC)

"Fate/Extella" & "Fate/Extella Zero": EARTH-Ex

Character Number: Character Name (Ex)

Volume 1: The first experience of the reckless kid Rin Toosaka

Chapter 1: A magic family, but the family fell into decline

In early 2000, it was noon in Fuyuki City, a corner of Japan that was still unknown in the Western magic world.

"Well, that's it for today's class."

“Thanks for the guidance.”

A 14-year-old boy was bowing to an expressionless man dressed as a church official. After the ceremony, he said goodbye. The man turned around and left, as if he had done something insignificant, without any unnecessary expression or movement from beginning to end.

The boy's name was Qin Xuan. The man he had just said goodbye to was Kotomine Kirei, the son of Kotomine Risei, the priest of the "Cathedral Church" in Fuyuki City, and also his martial arts teacher.

Six years ago, Qin Xuan came to this world as a member of the 21st century time traveler army.

The good news is: in this world, he is still called Qin Xuan, and his family is well-off, even affluent. In his previous life, he was working day and night on research and development for others, but this time he has the opportunity to experience financial freedom.

The bad news is: within a year, his only living guardian, the grandfather of his original body, passed away. Without cheating devices or golden thighs, Qin Xuan was left alone to face a unfamiliar and cold world.

To be honest, Qin Xuan has only watched some works in the Type-Moon series, mainly the well-known ones such as fz and fsn. He is not a moon chef nor a person in the two-dimensional circle. He understands the world view and remembers some of the plots, plus a bunch of popular characters, that's all.

Of course, it’s not Qin Xuan’s fault, most passers-by are like this.

I'm not a researcher, so it's too much trouble to spend time researching these things. What's more outrageous is that who would have thought that they would travel to this world in person!

Therefore, "using the advantage of foresight and planning ahead..." This kind of operation can only be said to be better than nothing for Qin Xuan. Moreover, when he traveled through time, his original body was only eight years old. He had no fighting ability, no magic, no "golden finger" of any traveler, and no ability to "take advantage of the situation". After all, it is difficult for adults to listen to an eight-year-old child, and Qin Xuan's speech skills are very average.

The only advantage is that the original body's identity is not ordinary. He is the heir of the Qin family, one of the three major magic families in Fuyuki City, along with the Tosaka family and the Einzbern family.

That's right, this touches on Qin Xuan's "blind spot of knowledge". After all, there is no Qin family in the original plot, and it should be replaced by the Matou family. According to the original body's memory, the most famous inheritance of the Qin family is the earth vein technique, and the command spell system used in the Holy Grail ceremony is also realized with the help of the Qin family's earth vein technique.

In addition, the Qin family in this world is said to be related to the descendants of Tai Qin (Qin Hesheng). Qin Xuan is not sure whether the relationship is reliable or not, because the descendants of Qin Hesheng in his previous life's world disappeared as early as the Meiji Restoration. It makes sense that it is passed down now. Anyway, the history here is not ordinary. For example, a lot of historical celebrities, including Arthur, Nero and Attila, have changed their genders.

And there are many other differences in this world:

For example, Kotomine Rimasa did not die in the Fourth War, and Kotomine Kirei's mental state did not "transform", and he is still a wooden man.

The master and apprentice of the Clock Tower did not participate in the Fourth War, so the Holy Grail War is still just a "small ceremony in the Far East" in the eyes of the Western magic world.

Although Toosaka Tokiomi died in the battle, Toosaka Aoi is in good condition and can still raise her eldest daughter Toosaka Rin. Although due to the death of Toosaka Tokiomi and the obsolescence of gem techniques, a large amount of income from magic patent fees was lost, the Toosaka family was originally a large landlord in Fuyuki City, and Toosaka Aoi is good at managing the household, so the mother and daughter have no worries in their simple life.

At the request of Toosaka Aoi, Qin Xuan also became Toosaka Rin's teacher, responsible for teaching magic courses.

As for the Toosaka family's second daughter, Sakura, she had been sent to faraway Western Europe and adopted by a magic family long before the Fourth World War... Anyway, the original body did not have a deep impression of her.

The Einzbern family did not change much. After the defeat in the Fourth War, the family's "new creation" Illyasviel, probably disappointed that Emiya Kiritsugu failed to free her from the family (he actually tried but failed), and had the idea of ​​participating in the Fifth War.

Then there is the Matou family. The Matou family in this world still exists, but it seems to be a completely business family from the surface world. The head of the family, Rentou Yanye, has a good business sense. He manages the family businesses in this city well. Some of the industries have opened up new markets and are gradually radiating to surrounding cities.

At this time, Japan was still in the "lost thirty years" (counting before the 21st century). Affected by the collapse of the bubble economy and the Asian financial crisis in 97, people's income and consumption capacity declined for a long time, and a large number of companies reduced their scale or even closed down. However, under the influence of some reform measures, business formats such as electrical appliance stores, department stores, and clothing chain stores rose against the trend.

The businesses run by the Matou family may be of this type.

However, no matter how big the Matou family is in this world, it is only a family in the outer world. Therefore, unlike the Tousaka family and the Einzbern family, the Qin family cannot have any "old friendship" with them. In fact, most of the news about the Matou family comes from his classmate Matou Shinji.

However, not counting the connections, the secular assets that the Matou family can mobilize are already considerable, at least it is incomparable to the "declining" magic family like the Qin family. There are many reasons, the biggest and most important one is that the Qin family is almost empty, and now there is only Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan's parents died before he could remember. It was said that they disappeared during an archaeological excavation of a certain ruin and never came back. The original body actually spent his childhood with his grandfather.

Qin Xuan's grandfather, Qin Chen, was an old man who was not good at speaking and often had a stern face in Qin Xuan's impression, but he was gentle only to the original body. As a grandfather, Qin Chen was completely unlike the scumbag grandfather in the original plot, and he didn't even look like the head of a long-standing magic family. He was very doting on the original body.

For example, Qin Chen did not even let the original body, the only child in the family, get in touch with magic from a young age, or even learn any theoretical knowledge. Instead, he raised him as an ordinary grandson of a wealthy family.

It's just outrageous. It's like a political family in the United States, whose ancestors were Supreme Court Justices and whose parents were important members of the two houses of Congress, but whose only son actually received a happy education like a commoner since childhood.

Perhaps the original body's grandfather did this out of compensation for the original body's parents or for some other considerations. Qin Xuan did not intend to delve into it for the time being.

There is no point in exploring, since the person is gone, it is better to practice magic. This is how he has been spending the past six years.

Qin Xuan had just finished practicing Bajiquan with Kotomine Kirei today and was sweating all over. He was about to go home.

The Qin family's residence is a standard Japanese courtyard style, with a front yard and a backyard, similar to the Emiya residence in the original plot. However, in this world, the Qin family and the Emiya family are not on the same street, but are closer to the Tosaka family.

Qin Xuan walked to the door at this time. The Qin family's door opened without any warning, and as he stepped over the threshold, an invisible wave of magic power spread out, almost instantly spreading over his body. When he stepped into the front yard, the door closed automatically again.

If a magician traced the source, he might find that there were similar magical fluctuations all over the Qin family mansion, and no visitor could enter directly without passing through this layer of barrier detection.

When Qin Xuan walked to the entrance, the second magic fluctuation was triggered, and then nothing happened. Qin Xuan changed his shoes as usual, walked through the reception room, and walked into the basement through the secret door of his bedroom.

This is the laboratory where he spent six years.

The laboratory was quite large, but there were quite a few items placed inside. Due to the lack of light in the underground environment, the lights were turned off, and only the outlines could vaguely reveal that they were some mechanical products or parts of unknown purpose.

At this time, Qin Xuan said: "I'm back."

At the same time, as a pattern similar to that of a circuit board lit up, all the high-powered lights with magical halos were turned on. The underground laboratory was brightly lit, and rows of mechanical equipment with a metallic luster and that looked expensive seemed to be standing in neat rows and in clear positions, respectfully waiting for their returning master to inspect them.

A girl with gray hair, red eyes, and exposed metal parts on her limbs and joints was standing in front of Qin Xuan with her feet hanging in the air.

She responded in her distinctive voice without any inflection: "Welcome home, Creator."

Chapter 2 There is a secret book of immortality, but scientific practice

The girl who looks like a robot is named No. 17, and the official full name of the robot is "End of the World Association 0017". The image is of course adopted from the artificial intelligence codenamed "Prometheus" before "Honkai Impact 3rd".

In fact, No. 17 is not a mechanical body at all, but an automatically running magic program, a computer body. The image in front of him is actually a "virtual image" formed on the retina through the line of sight.

Having said that, it’s not that Qin Xuan doesn’t want to give No. 17 a physical entity, but the cost of doing so is too high. Because once there is a physical entity, he will need to consider a lot of issues such as body material adaptation, regular maintenance of body parts, subsequent upgrades, etc.

As for saving resources to make a beggar version, it was not within his consideration. Qin Xuan positioned No. 17 as the general manager of various affairs, so if he had to do it, he would do it the best. Once the hardware had problems, there would be a lot of trouble.

In fact, if he was willing to spend a lot of money, Qin Xuan could start making it now, but considering that he has no decent source of income now, his personal living expenses, the energy and equipment consumption of the underground laboratory, and the cost of magic research are already a considerable expense.

If he were to deal with No. 17's body now, some of his magic research projects would inevitably be suspended or even stagnant. In comparison, it would be more economical to deal with No. 17 without a physical body.

Now let's talk about the built-in system of No. 17. At present, although No. 17 looks decent, it is actually equipped with some household magic (developed by Qin Xuan to facilitate living alone, and its main uses are bathing, washing clothes, cooking and other housework) and a few magic for combat purposes. The rest are some computer functions for auxiliary research.

In this respect, No. 17 is still relatively simple.

For example, the "Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid" of the Clock Tower Lord Kenneth can "automatically search for enemies, automatically defend, and automatically attack", demonstrating superior information analysis capabilities and response speed; not to mention King Solomon's "Seventy-two Demons", which have self-awareness and comprehensive abilities that reach the level of mythical magic programs, which is something that the current No. 17 cannot achieve.

Qin Xuan walked to the workbench and said, "Number 17, cleaning ritual."

"Received, scanning...Service ritual "Clean and Refresh" activated."

Following No. 17's voice, all the sweat, dirt and dust on Qin Xuan's skin, hair and clothes disappeared in an instant, and even his hair that was slightly messed up by the wind on the road was tidied up.

Although this may look like a Harry Potter style trick, it is actually Type-Moon's own magic.

The so-called magic, simply put, is the use of magic power as energy to create various phenomena that allow humans to achieve the same effects with the help of tools (i.e. technology).

For example, the most basic fire magic, if we take the original concept of "drilling wood to make fire" as the object, its elements are nothing more than a certain amount of "wood" and a "drilling wood" action. Based on this, the action of drilling wood can be realized by magic means, that is, there is no need to drill wood and spend magic power to make the wood burn directly, or even add magic engineering to omit the element of wood and achieve the effect of burning out of thin air.

In fact, most of the principles of magic are nothing more than these. At most, some magic will embody more advanced concepts such as "mystery", "religion", "astrology" and even "abstract ideas".

Generally, this kind of magic is passed down within families with a long tradition of magic.

These are the rough summary. If we go further, such as "protection" and "power", they generally belong to the Age of Gods or the non-human realm. As for "Dharma", it is even more of an outflow from the root.

At this time, Qin Xuan pulled out a stack of drawings of puppets from the file bag on the workbench. To be precise, they were design drawings of a series of puppets named "Snow", "Moon" and "Flower".

This design drawing was not original to Qin Xuan. The puppet technology actually came from a secret book of the Qin family, which Qin Xuan suddenly found in the early stage of learning magic.

There was no name on the cover, so Qin Xuan called it the "Nameless Immortal Book". Its content was quite shocking, and it recorded in detail the training of qi, alchemy, talismans, formations, spiritual plants, spiritual pets, puppets, various secret techniques, etc.

Moreover, some of the techniques in the fairy book can produce quite good results after being transformed into "magic" (localization).

The development of this kind of immortal cultivation elements and the painting style are strictly inconsistent with the Type-Moon in his memory. He suspected that this immortal book also came from somewhere. Anyway, from the perspective of the cultivation system, the Qin family classics belong to the Type-Moon native system, which is inconsistent with the painting style of this book.

As a passerby of Type-Moon, Qin Xuan did not know that the opposite continent, the place with the same name as his hometown in his previous life, retained an independent magic environment equivalent to the Age of Gods (that is, the magic base, the redistribution of the world's mysterious system resources in the name of theory/thought/cultural belief), and even had more than 10 immortals, otherwise he would not have reacted so much.

Qin Xuan carefully checked the design drawings of the "Snow, Moon and Flower" series. Of course, he was not checking for any errors. After all, it was the technical content of "The Immortal Book: Puppet Chapter".

What he needs to do is to remove the key intermediate steps in the design, leaving only the introduction at the beginning, the expected final product, etc. In short, after going through it, the current design will make people feel mysterious and impressive at first glance, but in fact it will not reveal any technical principles.

In this way, Qin Xuan can wait for the arrival of a puppeteer with peace of mind. As long as he reaches a cooperation with that person, the finished product of "Snow Moon Flower" will be just around the corner.

After finishing all this, Qin Xuan came to a quiet room next to the laboratory, which was mainly used for cultivation. Qin Xuan must stay here for a while every day.

The "Book of Immortality" records the methods of cultivation. Qin Xuan chose one of them, "The Metamorphosis Chapter", for a more realistic reason, which is that this chapter has low physical requirements.

Qin Xuan knew that the quality of his own circuits was not high. There were 15 main magic circuits and 10 auxiliary magic circuits in his body. The circuit attribute was the "earth" attribute passed down from generation to generation in the Qin family.

Although it is much better than Shinji's closed magic circuit in the original work, it is still at a lower-middle level and is far inferior to that of Toosaka Rin.

Before Qin Xuan started practicing, he was not sure whether the quality of the magic circuit was connected with his "immortal spiritual roots", and he did not want to take any chances, so he made this conservative choice.

In addition, besides the breathing exercises that are common in general exercises, "The Yuhua Chapter" also includes the spirit training methods that can be practiced separately.

Refining the spirit means improving spiritual cultivation, which increases the brain's computing ability, reaction ability, external perception and other abilities. It can also derive a series of effects such as spiritual consciousness, illusion, telepathy, and mental parasitism.

According to records, cultivators seem to improve their spirit cultivation as their qi cultivation improves, and generally do not cultivate their spirits separately. However, the spirit cultivation method in "Yuhua Pian" is completely separate from qi cultivation, and has separate levels.

At present, the biggest benefit of refining the spirit is to speed up his learning of various techniques. In other words, he is currently in the stage of "although his own magic power is small, his comprehension speed is fast and the level of the technique is high."
