People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

'North American companies Tianming Entertainment and ETStudio have once again cooperated as streaming companies and producers. This time, AI solutions were used extensively to complete actor models, image materials and special effects. What is the biggest challenge facing traditional Hollywood film industry? ...'

'Strange, why are there so many technological breakthroughs in recent years? Is this catching up with a new round of technological revolution?'

It was the first time for Kuroto Kan to use the virtual network on a smartphone extensively, and he operated it for a while. So, relying on the intuition brought by intelligence, he felt a huge amount of true and false information. The media could write as much as they wanted to fool the readers in order to fabricate gimmicks. Even if the key information was true, the opinions contained in it could easily guide the direction of public opinion.

Kuroto Mikiya was writing and drawing in his notebook. What he did was a bit like a corporate spy, but essentially he was doing it out of interest and because he had nothing to do.

And it just so happened that the person on the other side was also quite interested in his notes.

"——Is this your conclusion?" The brown-haired man on the other side suddenly spoke. His voice was very soft, as if he was speaking specifically to Kuroto Mikiya. "'The construction of the Science City is essentially the investment and interests of large capital groups, and is related to the large and small companies that have been listed in the past three years...'"

"Hey, this," Kuroto Mikiya raised his head and smiled gently, "This is just a guess I made when I was bored. I'm just a college student majoring in intelligence. At most, I can make some insignificant speculations based on some superficial information."

"Really? Your talent is indeed worthy of this major."

The brown-haired middle-aged man closed his work laptop and said, "If you are interested, you can learn more about ETStudio."

He handed over a business card.

"ETStudio? This...! Are you Mr. Walter Yang?" After Kurotogi Kan'ya accepted the business card, he realized that the middle-aged man opposite him was a "celebrity".

He had heard of the name Walter Young, who was the leader of the North American production company. Although it was established not long ago, he had served as a screenwriter many times. His various works were of top quality in terms of both technology and script quality. His representative works include "Norse Gods", "Celts", "Alahato" and other series, covering a wide range of subjects, including animated films and live-action films.

The only regret is that Walter is very particular about the original design and usually chooses the style of the film based on local traditional tastes. The subject matter does not involve Japanese elements, which does not fit in with the strange aesthetics of the Japanese people, resulting in relatively unsatisfactory box office results in Japan.

Chapter 319 Science Phase Laying Plan

Just like that, the two of them chatted quietly for a while, and no one noticed that a "big shot" had come here.

“From the looks of you, it seems like you’re waiting for someone,” Walter adjusted his glasses and prepared to leave, “Just in time, the person I’m waiting for is almost here. It’s time to go.”

“No, no.” Kurotogi Kan'ya was about to stand up to see him off, but Walter patted him on the shoulder with just the right amount of force, pushing him back to his seat.

When he looked up again, Walter had disappeared.

--------

At this time, Qin Xuan had already arrived at the work place of the engineering department. Einstein was complaining to Tesla with a headache on his face. Next to him was Vivi, who seemed to be unconcerned. Vivi was focusing on something else and immersed in her own world.

"Dong dong."

The security level of the Engineering Department is very high, and there is a multi-level security authentication system on the inner layer, so this room that is half laboratory and half office is half open. Qin Xuan knocked on the door next to him and walked straight in.

"Ouch."

Several people turned around and saw Qin Xuan's new image. Most of them were stunned. Wei Liwei laughed: "If someone (Aili) hadn't informed us in advance that our boss had changed his image again, I might have assumed that you were his brother or drank some kind of rapid growth agent from Mebius."

Velvet seemed to be in a good mood and was in the mood for a joke, probably because she had just witnessed the possibilities brought about by the new technology of Klilonomea.

"Really? In the entire Academy City, Airi is the one who can come and go freely and lives the most comfortably."

"...That's not necessarily true. If we talk about freedom alone, it must belong to the current Padu."

"Pado? I remember she got a job from you?" Qin Xuan had seen the name of Padofils when he was looking through the Academy City plan. He originally thought that the proprietress of this paradise was planning to just idle away her time in this peaceful environment, but she ended up getting a job as the general manager of logistics. He didn't know if she felt embarrassed because her companions were all busy.

"Oh, that," Vivi mobilized her mind and recalled a technical adjustment, "It was a planning mistake at the beginning, or rather a mistake of being too 'efficient'. Originally, Pado's position was not a problem, but later, the logistics system of Academy City was upgraded and it can realize unmanned warehousing, sorting and delivery, and the management system is even more so. Manpower is not very necessary. So -"

Wei Wei spread her hands and said, "Pado became dispensable in every aspect. In the end, she came up with an idea and then ran away."

"What's the idea?"

"She didn't say it at the time. But I used a machine to track her for a while and found that she was selling some illicit things, such as... well, stolen campus passes and the like. I didn't stop her because she turned around and handed over the information of the transaction person and the items after the sale... I thought of it as working overtime and adding some pressure to the person in charge of the campus security anti-theft system."

"Is the security vulnerability tester okay?" Qin Xuan asked another question. "By the way, what is Mobius' growth agent? Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, you know that, don't you? Her current body shape... maybe she is not satisfied with it? Ah, but that may not be the case..."

"not necessarily?"

"I don't know. If you're interested, go ask her in person." Velvet wasn't very interested in this topic. Anyway, she herself had this level (figure), so she lowered her head and continued to study Krilonomea.

Qin Xuan looked to the other side. Einstein's face looked much better. It seemed that this was not the first time that the Japanese officials came. "Are those government officials still anxious to ask about the progress this time?"

"Well," Einstein said weakly, "According to the agreed rules, the technology exhibition is an event at the end of the Daiba Star Festival. They are thinking of using 'internal channels' to 'inspect the goods in advance'."

"Don't bother with them." Qin Xuan knocked on the table. "We just borrowed a channel from them at the beginning. Keeping in touch with them later is just an unnecessary burden. With our accumulation, we will soon surpass the superficial forces of this world."

"Of course I know about this kind of thing... But, they've been refusing and delaying too many times, so they might be impatient," Einstein suggested a possibility. "You also mentioned that any government agency can be involved in the magic world, and there are many people who are willing to come for profit."

"The users of magic..." Qin Xuan thought this made sense, but he thought it could just be part of the plan. "It doesn't matter. I just happened to have an idea (experiment) that required Academy City's cooperation. If it goes well, we can deal with all the magic-side intruders during the Daiba Star Festival."

"......?" Einstein heard something new that she had never heard before. "So what's the backup plan? If we fail, Academy City will have to suppress it completely. We have enough combat power, but I'm worried that the battle will cause more damage and chaos among the residents..."

"That's not necessarily true." Velvet suddenly raised her head. "I roughly understand this Krilonomea. With nanometer-level precision and the ability to spontaneously absorb a single heat source to do work, it can be made into a nanomachine that is invisible to the naked eye. In simple terms, any small application can replace the current physical system of the Academy City. For example, the monitoring system can rely on nanomachines that are almost invisible in the air to achieve omniscience within the range of the information. Do you understand?"

"Pah, pah, pah."

Suddenly, applause was heard at the door. A blond young man stood at the door. "I see. He is worthy of being the great inventor of the previous civilization... No, I should say, he is worthy of being the mysterious chairman. He brought such amazing technology right after returning. I can't wait for the exciting contents of this unified council meeting."

"Otto Apokalis." The doctors of Anti-Entropy seemed nervous.

"--Otto, don't block the door." The voice of the brown-haired man, Walter, came from behind.

"Oh, sorry, the content just now was so fascinating that I almost forgot that my old friend was waiting there."

Walter declined Otto's so-called 'old friend' and said, "Don't call me old friend all the time. There is no real friendship between you and me. Even if we take the time in the 'setting' into account, I can't be called your old friend."

Then Walter looked at Qin Xuan, "Chairman."

"Where are the others? When will Jackal, Gray Snake, Nagamitsu, and Mebius arrive?"

"I'm on my way. I think I'll be here soon."

----------

After everyone arrived, Qin Xuan announced something:

"Although I have summoned you to the Engineering Department today, for the sake of confidentiality, the actual meeting place is not here—"

Qin Xuan pointed to the windowless building, "--In there. I will personally take you in."

Before the directors could even begin to wonder, they saw Qin Xuan clapping his hands.

“——Wow.”

It was as if in a flash, the world changed, and everyone had a contradictory illusion - Qin Xuan said that this was the inside of the building, but what they clearly saw was the boundless starry sky and the distant earth beneath their feet!

"Okay, we can keep this a secret from others. Let's start with the first topic - the plan for laying out the scientific texture."

Chapter 320 Humans Should Have Humanity

Qin Xuan and a group of directors stood in the void. Although they were all surprised because they had not been informed in advance, the directors' reactions were not panic, because they were now standing on solid ground and felt a solid touch under their feet - there was obviously an invisible floor there.

The Earth in the distance is rotating and revolving at a visible speed. No matter how the data is observed, it can be concluded that this is the Earth they live on. However, the starry sky outside is extremely magnificent and brilliant, making it difficult to confirm whether they have really arrived in outer space.

When Qin Xuan announced "starting the first agenda item", large tables and chairs appeared in front of the directors. It was obviously impossible for them to hold the meeting while standing.

"The following is an explanation of the scientific texture—"

After the directors took their seats one by one, Qin Xuan began to explain the first agenda item, but before that, someone - Miss Changguang raised her hand with a smile.

"Is something wrong?"

"--Oh, sorry, Chairman. I see that Mr. Otto-- seems very curious about the situation here. How about explaining the situation here before the meeting starts?"

Although Changguang was originally a member of the Destiny Research Institute, the affiliation is now completely different. She seemed to have no psychological burden at all when joking about the "former bishop".

Sure enough, Otto continued, "Ma'am, you don't need to involve me in this matter, right? Although I am indeed interested, it is not worth it to make the chairman unhappy."

"This space is indeed inside the building," Qin Xuan looked at the directors' reactions and found that they really wanted to know, then he began to explain, "In simple terms, it is a non-Euclidean space."

Although the theory of non-Euclidean geometry was born in the 19th century and was further explained in the general theory of relativity, it still exists beyond the imagination of ordinary people. For example, objects in space are small when they are close and large when they are far away, how to move forward but always return to the original place, how to see the front and back of an object at the same time, and how objects are round when you look at them from a distance and square when you look at them up close.

Another example is the current situation, where the directors seem to have entered the distant outer space, but in fact they are just sitting in an ordinary meeting room inside the building. In other words, they are clearly inside, but they appear to be outside, and in fact the scope of the space does extend to the scale of outer space, as if completely subverting the relationship between the inside and the outside in real common sense.

"——That's basically it. As for how I did it, you want to ask? The answer is that I——changed the rules here, only within the building."

Qin Xuan said softly, if this sentence is true, then it is quite beyond the scope of theory whether from the scientific side or the other magic side.

"Eh?" Changguang showed a distressed expression. For her, rewriting the rules at every turn was a violation of her normal scientific research thinking.

"--If I remember correctly," Mebius said, "there is a well-known cosmic creature in South America, Oort. The environment created by its special ability, 'Crystal Valley', seems to be a complete rewriting of the laws of the earth."

"Well, that guy can turn everything that enters his domain into crystals, but that kind of existence has no reference value. It is different from the development direction of us humans."

UO is an extreme single species born from a planet, and Oort also belongs to this category. Many stars in the solar system have the habit of nurturing such beings, which is a concept that advocates the strength of individuals, but only the beings born on Earth are different - humans, representing the strongest collective rather than individual species, and the originally prepared Earth UO - Elquit has always been in an unfinished state.

"So, this is how the chairman exists?" Changguang asked curiously.

"That's the case for now, at least not right now. If you mean that everyone can become my size, it's not possible before we break free from the shackles of the planet. As for why, it has something to do with the scientific phase I'm going to talk about."

"——All of us should know that the Earth we observe and live in is not the true appearance of the planet, but the surface world. This surface world is the world that we humans (primates) have laid out as reality (texture), and then the space-time that has continued to develop steadily. This is pan-human history, this is human nature."

"However, the stability of this reality cannot be achieved by us humans alone. First, we used the relics of the gods when paving the way for reality. Second, we need other devices to continuously stabilize human nature."

"Do you know why this world is developing science, but there is still a mysterious world of old times where magic is practiced? The reason is also due to the human logic laid before the BC."

Qin Xuan expressed his own conclusions through his cooperation with Ah Yuan over the years, his research on the Holy Spear, and his observation of the entire human history of the original Meiyou World:

"I believe that human order, which has been relying on the remnants of gods since the past, is incomplete and unstable. Technology may seem to be developing, but at its core, humans have never gotten rid of their dependence on the past."

This is obvious. In fact, the inner part of the Holy Lance that connects the inside and outside is God. Solomon created the magic base to preserve magic that should have ended completely. Before that, magic was exclusive to God. All magicians in the Age of Gods relied on making a covenant with God to gain the power to perform miracles. Modern magicians rely on connecting the base.

Moreover, another legacy of Solomon, the Human Reason Cultivation Technique (Goetia), is a device (ritual) used to help stabilize human reason.

"What we need to build is a human principle that is not dependent on the past and leads to the future, that is, a scientific human principle and a scientific reality. As for gods and foundations, in the final analysis, they are constantly dependent on the soul of the planet. If we continue to develop in this way, we will only continue to fight against the planet. If we want to take the first step, the first thing we need to do is to lay our own foundation."

----------

Kurogiri Mikiya left the cafe. He and his sister had already met and discussed things. As expected, Kurogiri Hana did not tell him whether Ryougi Shiki would appear at the Daihastari Festival.

In fact, Kurogiri Hana told him that it would be meaningless even if he knew where Ryougi Shiki might be, because even during the Daihasei Festival, the school grounds and most institutions would not be open to the public.

Chapter 321: Sakura, Ryougi Shiki's Kendo Friend

Bad news comes one after another.

Kuroto Mikiya also learned from his sister's speech that his sister's pursuit of him was known to his parents. Considering the status of the siblings in the family and the impression their parents had of them, Kuroto Mikiya felt that his parents had a greater chance of breaking his legs than his sister's.

As for what Hana said, "My parents might accept it", Hei Tong Qian didn't believe a word of it. My sister has only made some money in the past few years, and it's not possible that her salary can be raised to the point where even my parents' ethical concepts can be compromised, right?

Hei Tong Gan also felt that the sky in his inner world was raining lightly. He walked into a small path with his head down. At this moment, he heard the sound of wind, neither in front nor behind.

“——Crash.”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew from above.

Unfortunately, Kuroto Kirei was not a trained combatant, so he could not react at all. It was not until a long-haired figure appeared in front of him that he realized it was Ryougi Shiki.

"you……"

Kuroto Miki didn't expect that she would appear in front of him again just when he was thinking that he couldn't find her. ... But she appeared too suddenly. He didn't know what to say. Should he ask if she had been doing well in the past few years? Or if Ryougi Shiki's dual personality problem had been solved? No, no, no, what he should ask is... How much impression does Ryougi Shiki, who never took the initiative to look for him, have on him now?

But when the words came to his lips, Kuroto Kirei couldn't say them.

Because the aura that Ryougi Shiki exudes is completely different, it is a completely different feeling from the everyday world. As a former classmate, Kuroto Kirei can clearly feel that she is completely different from the eldest daughter of the family in the past. Even the murderous look that Ryougi Shiki once showed in high school is like a childish look now.

——It was as if I had transcended the ordinary people and reached a certain extraordinary state. I was very far away from myself as an ordinary person.

"You shouldn't be here."

Ryougi Shiki spoke first. She was still wearing a kimono and holding a long sword, but judging from her swift movements just now, this attire did not affect her actions at all.

She knew Kurogiri Kan'ya. It wasn't that Kurogiri Hana informed her about the matter, she just happened to meet him on the way to the dojo. In her memory, Kurogiri Kan'ya was her former classmate.

As for why the expression "in her memory" must be used, it involves the changes that happened to Ryougi Shiki after she woke up from the car accident.

In high school, she used to be a very good friend of Kurodori Kan'ya. To be more precise, she was very close to another personality 'Ryougi Ori'. However, after the car accident, Ori died instead of Shiki.

Ryougi Shiki woke up and gained the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, but lost Ori.

And another change, she lost the sense of reality of the past. Without a personality, her sense of the past was unreal, and those once vivid memories were just a replaying movie for her. Her brain's memory "recognition" mechanism malfunctioned.

For this, a solution is needed. In another world line, Ryougi Shiki eventually returns to normal life, that is, she completely accepts everything about Ori, from imitating Ori's male voice and appearance at the beginning to accepting all his ideas later, thus filling the emptiness in her heart (the Cave of Galan). But in this world, it is completely different.

Ryougi Shiki gained different identities and experiences in Academy City. She chose to create a completely different self from the past and fill herself with a continuous and new future. A psychic, a Dead Apostle, a magician, a swordsman, a researcher, and numerous scientific theories... She can enrich herself to her heart's content. She does not have to pursue the past. In the endless process of exploring the future, meaning itself is realized.

"——In short, Kurogiri, if you continue to stay here, one day you will face something that you as an ordinary person feel completely powerless against. If you haven't made a complete decision, the best choice is to leave."

With a whoosh, Ryougi Shiki "flew" up the wall using a move that even Kuroto Kirei didn't understand at all. It was even more exaggerated than in an action movie. After a few take-offs and landings, she completely disappeared from overhead.
