People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

It can be said that Illya's desire to learn this was a product of a momentary impulse. At a certain moment, she imagined that she could use magic, and as a result, she successfully bent the spoon in her hand... Well, it's a super classic and basic supernatural ability.

Then, she began to perform a random "magic exercise" every night, but apart from making the spoon bend, there was almost no other result.

As for why I said "almost", it's because the only special achievement was when Illya was so obsessed with "magic" that she forgot to do her homework.

Shocked, Illya began to imagine that she could "use magic to finish the homework", but not only did she fail to finish the homework, she also burned the homework book.

From that time on, Illya decided to stop her random thoughts of practicing magic.

All in all, combined with her previous experience with Qin Xuan, she began to believe that she really had the potential to become a magical girl, but she lacked the method to improve, so she could only use magic to control some simple phenomena.

But if I perform this trick for my classmates, they will probably just laugh and ask, "Illya, when did you learn magic tricks?"

Hey, this will only make people laugh at her, right? So, Illya decided to return alone after completing her studies, so that they would not laugh at her anymore.

But how to learn systematic magic is a channel problem. Illya felt that if she went to Sera and her family for help, they would probably misunderstand that she was sick.

"So, it's better not to let everyone know about this kind of thing. It makes sense. The magical girls on TV all fight without telling anyone."

Finally, Illya found a free time on the weekend and went to all the bookstores in Fuyuki City, but all she found were popular science books with similar contents, and no "magic tutorials" as she imagined. After all, how could the method of learning magic be sold casually on the street?

The books in her hand were recommended to her by the clerk after she asked him secretly. They seemed to be worth little compared to other big books. An inappropriate analogy is that she felt like she had bought a beggar's edition of "Tathagata Palm" for 10 yuan.

Illya first opened the Egyptian Book of the Dead and flipped through it and saw: "... a long water trough should be made of clay, in which spiritual incense is inserted, and the trough is filled with white milk. Only in this way can the flames burning on the dead in the underworld be extinguished... chant: Fire is coming, Osiris! The day is about to pass, the night has come, and the flames have burned to the side of Osiris, the lord of Ament..."

"——Eh, I don't understand. Besides, they all seem to be spells related to enslaving the undead." Illya felt that this did not conform to the "magical girl aesthetics" at all. However, a god's name caught her attention.

"Osiris...?"

This seems to be seen everywhere.

Chapter 191 Children, don’t read this!

After the spiritual body returned to this world, Qin Xuan disconnected the communication with the Second Event Hall.

According to Orange and Shion, the data collected by the spirit particle collector is almost complete, especially the data about the internal space of this "Little Holy Grail".

How should I put it? This data is indeed valuable, but not very valuable. After all, it is just a key in the Greater Holy Grail system, that is, a high-level authority and ritual props, not the Greater Holy Grail system itself. If you want to control the Holy Grail in advance during the Holy Grail War, then this data is indeed useful, but...

But anyway, Qin Xuan did not plan to hold the Holy Grail War in this world one year later according to the original model. Because the Holy Grail War of seven people was too small and could not achieve the goal he had planned in his mind.

First of all, the third law is definitely necessary. It is said that compared to the first law that was born in the early AD, the third law already existed before the BC, but it was successfully reproduced by the Winter Saint after the AD. However, the Winter Saint was only a one-time miracle. After the death of the Saint, the path of the law will be cut off. Therefore, the Saint was sacrificed alive, and the Great Holy Grail system was created, a device, system, and circuit that was intended to allow the third law to be passed on endlessly.

The key point that Qin Xuan cares about is the composition of the third law.

The principle of the third law is to materialize the human soul and form a perpetual motion machine. This statement is not clear enough. First of all, we need to involve the definition of soul science. The primate souls in the Type-Moon world are immortal to a certain extent and have great potential (heat). The reason for this characteristic is that any (human) soul stores the soul's soul design in the Astral World, which makes all descent, reincarnation and even resurrection possible.

According to the general theory of the magic world, during the Age of Gods, the management and operation of human souls belonged to the underworld in mythology, but after the Age of Gods, the underworld became a metaphysical existence. The soul reincarnation system still exists, so it is very likely caused by the existence of the Astral World. (No conclusion yet)

Therefore, it is speculated again that the principle of the third method should be to materialize the spirit body into an immortal body that is both connected to the Star World and independent of the interference of the Star World. Therefore, it can be immortal and continuously output heat.

But no matter what, the third law is undoubtedly closely connected with the existence of the Star World.

His goal was not just the Third Law, but the Star Realm. This was also the reason why the Third Star Realm, next to the Second Phenomenon Hall of the Law Room, was named the Third Star Realm Hall.

Therefore, in addition to the designated goals of the Holy Grail War, we need to add some additional research projects in the Astral Realm. Seven people is definitely not enough, and fourteen people is not enough either. How many people are needed? Is 128 people enough?

Forget it. Qin Xuan decided to find time to invite the old man of the Einzbern family, Eubusta Kuhaid, over to consult and discuss how to modify the Holy Grail system together.

What? What if they don't like it?

Don't worry, he will definitely agree. Look at how the association has suppressed the Clock Tower. The situation is stronger than people. As the intelligent AI responsible for running the entire family and recreating the Third Law, the old man will agree.

Of course, that is a matter for the future. Right now, Qin Xuan is planning to develop the "Ptolemaic Ruins" near Alexandria, Egypt.

He was going to contact the Atlas Institute engineering team. It happened that the construction and establishment of the earth veins and void service subsystems in the Egyptian region had not yet begun, so they could come together to assess the impact of the Ptolemaic underwater ruins.

If it interferes with the construction progress of the overall outline of the earth veins, it may be necessary to use some confidential space technology to deal with it.

As for the evaluation method, in addition to surveying the impact of the ruins on the surrounding area from the outside, it is also necessary to go inside to evaluate the value preserved therein.

The method to enter the interior was provided by Luvia and her family. Edelfelt's ancestors participated in the construction of the ruins exploration route for the tomb robbers. This route is different from the route that dives directly into the bottom of Alexandria. It is located on land dozens of kilometers away from Alexandria, but it can connect to the underwater ruins at once. In other words, it is almost certain that this road uses space technology.

Ancient tomb-robbing technology, isn’t it amazing?

Although every time she talked about it, she still wanted to emphasize that her family’s title was “Hunter”.

Just when Qin Xuan was sending an email to Ratio, one of the project leaders, a call came in from a "parallel world" that he specially noted.

"--Oh ha, big brother!"

The screen showed Chloe sitting in the communication room of the spirit particle collector, and her lively voice came out.

Last time, after Qin Xuan tried hard to eliminate the influence that Chloe had received after reading the records of the parallel world, he temporarily gave her some unimportant "entertainment service" permissions and gave her a room where she could play by herself, such as watching anime, movies, and playing games.

Anyway, the outside of the heart world is still sealed and can't get out, and there is no body, no need to eat, no need to sleep, so some services for spiritual needs can be developed. Then he gave a contact method, which is a zero-delay communication maintained by his spiritual ability. If there is a situation, he can contact at any time - but he refuses to harass when there is nothing to do.

"What's matter?"

Qin Xuan saw Chloe's figure and subtly turned the angle of the camera that was pointing the communication screen.

"It's so boring to live alone," Chloe swung her legs while sitting on a tall crystal-colored swivel chair. She then pushed the armrest to the side, and the swivel chair began to spin around quickly, her words coming out in a halting manner. "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Don't turn around, just talk properly."

"...Okay," Chloe paused, "Big brother hasn't answered my question yet, hehe, is there something unhealthy that you don't allow me to watch?"

"Nothing, confidential information, concerning some important secrets of the world. Children should not read it."

In fact, Qin Xuan deliberately adjusted the angle just now, otherwise Chloe would have seen the white legs of Birdie exposed on the bed behind.

Although she was in poor health, Bai Dewei was unwilling to admit defeat. She was even more unwilling to admit defeat than Toosaka Rin, so she was so tired that she fell down again and couldn't move.

"Hehe, I feel like Big Brother isn't talking about that," Chloe pouted, "Besides, Big Brother isn't that much older than me, is he?"

"Oh, Chloe, you can't judge a magician's age by his appearance. Well, if you're really bored, I can show you a 'live' of an Egyptian ruins exploration. But to prevent interference, the sound and images from your side will be turned off."

Chapter 192 Come on, have fun

"Wow, ruins exploration, what is that? Will it be an Egyptian palace like this one?" Chloe didn't care about the fact that her voice authority would be sealed, but seemed very curious about the so-called ruins exploration.

"You'll know when the time comes." Qin Xuan didn't know the specific situation on the seabed. He was editing an email and sending it to the engineering team of Atlas Institute.

"Okay, I'm going to get to work. Go play, kids, and don't call me suddenly again," Qin Xuan began to instruct the alchemists on the key points of their work. "When I'm ready to go on the 'exploration', I'll call you, but don't expect too much. Regular ruins exploration is much more boring than the movie plot you imagine."

"Oh, I know," Chloe said disapprovingly, making a face, "Big brother still won't tell me what you do for a living."

"You are not an insider in the magic world, so what's the point of knowing this? I am currently the president of a magic club. Anyway, I will tell you this for the time being. You have to obey me, Chloe. That's it, over."

After that, cut off the communication.

After that, Qin Xuan began to instruct the engineering team on the precautions for working on the seabed. The entire engineering team will be divided into two groups. All of them are external construction personnel. They will all start from the sea surface and go to the seabed.

——The Atlas Institute also has submersibles, and they are automated and unmanned, which is much more advanced than the technology in the surface world.

One of these two construction teams is responsible for routine geomagnetic surveys and external exploration of the entire ruins to ensure that the overall external outline structure of the ruins is fully understood and a data model is established.

Another group is responsible for using "large-scale mirror space technology" to store the entire relic.

That's right, that is to say, the way Qin Xuan and his team deal with these ancient "lost ruins" is usually not to send exploration teams to explore them time-consuming and laboriously like the surface world, but to directly move the entire ruins away.

In fact, this was also the way to deal with large-scale earth vein siltation, blockage, and obstacles when constructing the "Earth Vein General Outline". The association has set up a special task force in the Earth Vein Spiritual Road Management Bureau to be responsible for this matter. Everyone is very skilled.

However, according to the Edelfelt family and the intelligence feedback he had received from the Atlas Academy, the value of this ruins is extraordinary.

It is possible that the Atlas Academy of the Age of Gods and the Ptolemaic Dynasty of the time cooperated to build it. However, this kind of ruins is likely to be a lost item (Lost Number) in the eyes of the Atlas Academy today.

Because in the A-yuan, the results of individual research are only open to themselves. Even if they are logged into the headquarters' spirit particle calculation agency, the three-pointed Hermes, they are only logged records and are difficult to read easily. And there are always a few researches that have not been abandoned but lost outside. The cooperation with the Ptolemaic Dynasty may be a collective research project, but it is obvious that the A-yuan cannot be sure now, and it has been completely lost.

"Let's not talk about the lost items of Ah Yuan for now," Qin Xuan tapped the table with his fingers, "the importance of the ruins has increased. The construction sequence needs to be changed. The internal exploration process should be carried out first to ensure that the internal facilities are intact and not affected. I will go there in person, and the accompanying personnel don't matter--"

"Hmm?" Qin Xuan glanced at the message sent by Bazette and the others, "The Archaeology Department Monarch strongly requests to join the team?"

Oh yes, the Archaeology Department monarch Kalmagrif and his assistant Tika were temporarily placed under house arrest by Qin Xuan. Considering Kalmagrif's professionalism, he is indeed a good hand among the front-line explorers, but the problem is that he is not standing on the side of our association. For this reason alone, Kalmagrif will be eliminated.

Unless he made up his mind to completely turn the entire subject to the association, like the modern magic department did.

"Then let's delay it. Tell him that I haven't made up my mind yet," Qin Xuan ordered. "If he wants to ask anything else, tell him that it all depends on his performance."

Only after everything was arranged did Qin Xuan close the work interface.

Then, without turning his head, he spoke to someone who was still lying on the bed behind him, "——By the way, are you awake? If you don't get up, I will replace the internal exploration entourage with someone else, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of white arms reached out from behind, wrapped around Qin Xuan's neck and hugged him, and then a familiar touch and an inexplicable smell filled his senses.

"Darling is so cruel. I've been tormented for a long time and I haven't recovered yet." Bai Dewei lowered her head, her fluffy golden hair fell down, and the hot air from her talking caressed Qin Xuan's face.

But her voice was hazy, as if she was not awake yet, as if she was disturbed by the noise made by Qin Xuan.

"Okay, then we'll set off when you've had enough sleep."

"Don't worry. The external personnel of the association have just been arranged, right?"

"Pfft, aren't you quite sober?" Qin Xuan rolled his eyes, then turned his head and met Bai Dewei's meaningful eyes. "So you have been secretly paying attention to my work arrangements just now, and you are pretending to be unconscious?"

"Oh, Darling misunderstood me," Bai Dewei loosened his arms and supported Qin Xuan's shoulders with his hands. Then, he did a standard somersault as gracefully as a gymnast and sat directly in front of Qin Xuan. "What I mean is that it's still early for the staff to arrive. At least we still have plenty of fun time today~"

----------

The huge setting sun is about to disappear on the horizon, and the desert reflects a desolate luster.

This is the direction west from Alexandria. As far as the eye can see, all you can see is coarse sand and simple-looking stones. Such monotonous scenes constitute the red gravel desert.

Qin Xuan and Bai Dewei were sitting in an SUV. Qin Xuan looked at the desolate scenery outside the window boredly. He used one hand to release an etheric light weave that was directly connected to the car's central control system, allocating a tiny amount of computing power for "autonomous driving".

Bai Dewei was resting beside him, sounding sleepy. She could have rushed there in a more efficient way, but she smiled evilly and suggested driving there. Sure enough, as soon as she got in the car, she suggested "trying to play in the car", and then she fell down exhausted without knowing her own limits.

In silent silence, coarse grains of sand flew under the wheels, and according to the existing information, this desert journey will continue for dozens of kilometers.

Chapter 193 Tomb Raider.avi

The car ran for about an hour.

The surrounding scene, originally composed of thorny plants and stones, was gradually covered by red, endless sand.

Qin Xuan parked the car at the designated location. At the same time, Bai Dewei woke up. She already knew the length of the trip and would not delay the opportunity by indulging in pleasure.

The two walked silently in the desert, holding each other's hands tacitly.

This is not to show any emotional relationship, but a necessary action, because the surrounding weather is changing rapidly -

A sandstorm that was big enough to fill the sky and earth started to blow. The direct impact of this was that visibility dropped rapidly, and within the field of vision, there was no longer any scenery to be seen except for the partner that he was holding.

Bai Dewei had anticipated this. This was a "celestial-level" interference barrier that the tomb-robbing group had built outside the passage after reconstructing the path to the ruins. The purpose was probably to prevent later tomb-robbers from occupying and controlling this passage.

However, this barrier is still in operation today, and we can get a glimpse of the technological content it contains.

Qin Xuan did not intend to destroy it. Hiding the passage would only benefit him. Anyway, he had already got the entrance.

The invisible clean wind surrounded the two people and their surroundings, clearing a small sand-free area for them. If they didn't do this, the pervasive sand would immediately invade the seven orifices of the human body, filling the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other organs with a considerable amount of sand.

The two came to a steep cliff and saw a dark cave right in front of them.

This is the back door, which is a secret passage rebuilt by tomb robbers to lead to the ruins.

Qin Xuan roughly explored it and found that the space technology used here should rely on the ground veins to achieve distance deception. "Oh, so that's how it is. It's not as advanced as I imagined. It's roughly similar in principle to the ground vein spirit road technology widely used by the association."

Bai Dewei was also there, "Well, the records of our ancestors didn't explain the technical principles too much, so I guess it's not too rare or mysterious."

The two entered the cave and the sandstorm stopped immediately.

The environment in the cave is completely different from the desert environment outside. A cool breeze blows from time to time, and the inner walls of the cave show varying degrees of humidity.

This is enough to prove that the physical environment here is directly connected to a place similar to the seabed environment.

After the two of them walked for a while, the flat road turned into a downhill road. It was extremely steep, and if you slipped, you would fall to the bottom of the slope.

At this time, Bai Dewei stopped and stretched out her arms towards Qin Xuan beside her.

"?"

"Hold me, down."

Qin Xuan took a look at Bai Dewei's expression and carefully confirmed that she had no other hints. "You are like this (maintaining this 12-year-old loli form) just for this moment?"

If she grows normally, Luvia's mature sister-like figure will be taller than Qin Xuan (14-year-old form), and it will inevitably seem awkward to hold her. However, if Bai Dewei does not grow as a fake intelligence data, it will remain the same.
