Chapter 527 The Pursuit of Nothingness
Locke frowned, and after careful consideration, he said: "Breeding should be about studying a theoretically perfect ecology."
Locke realized that the breeding science in Yunze Wetland must be very developed, so he chose the answer that was the least likely to go wrong.
Because the ultimate goal of every breeder must be to create the best natural ecology within their knowledge.
There is nothing wrong with making your goals bigger.
Wizard Thomasson's face looked slightly better. "That's a good answer, and it's indeed one of the biggest purposes of botany, but the problem is, it's the wrong answer in our classroom."
Wizard Thomasson shook his head slightly, as if he hated iron for not being able to become steel. "You wizards have been deeply affected by the short-sighted thinking of the outside world." Wizard Thomasson turned around and wrote on the pure black wall with magic chalk: "We can use rhetorical questions to verify our thinking to help us get the right thinking. The simplest rhetorical question, if breeding cannot help us create powerful weapons , or are magic plants that provide some special function. Shouldn’t we study each magic plant, classify it, and study the reasons for its specialness? "
"If we find that the entire weather system is a chaotic system that cannot be predicted or precisely controlled, will we stop analyzing the trajectory of each cyclone?"
"So, what I want to tell you today is the habits of Yunze Wetland."
Wizard Thomasson wrote two words on the wall - "useless." 』
Wizard Thomasson whispered: "You are in the outside wizard land. Because there are few resources and high-level wizards, you are forced to constantly pursue the practicality of something, and this just lowers your upper limit."
"Pursue practicality and think about practicality, it is certainly very Good, but the greatest practicality is uselessness."
Wizard Thomasson turned to the many wizards and said, "Break the skylight and speak out. The entire Golden Mian Mountain, and even the high-circle wizards in the entire Yunze Wetland, are pursuing useless things."
"That is, the pursuit of basic disciplines."
"The biggest cognitive change when you come to Yunze Wetland is to stop pursuing practicality and aversion to useless things. You must want to learn something when you come to Jinmian Mountain, so I will tell you directly. What you learn here must be these useless things."
Wizard Thomasson turned around and took out a pot of seven colors of flowers from the astral ring. "Once upon a time, a witch in one of our colleges in Golden Mian Mountain loved beauty, so she spent a lot of time cultivating a branch with seven colors of plum blossoms."
"Then she spent another seven years researching why a branch of a plum tree could be grafted to obtain flowers of seven colors, and carefully explored the magic pathways involved, as well as the related metabolites of natural magic ingredients."
The wizards below the classroom are whispering.
Wizard Daniel asked Locke in a low voice. "One branch has seven plum blossoms. What's the significance of this?"
"Could it be said that this can enhance the performance of the magic plant?"
Before Locke could answer, Wizard Thomasson answered him directly. "It's meaningless. If you don't count the ornamental meaning, it's meaningless. Even if you count the ornamental meaning, it can be regarded as the kind of ornamental meaning that is of little practical use to wizards."
"To be honest, this is not as great as the actual ornamental significance of the seven-color plum blossom branch magic painting drawn by the speed painter. But it just so happens that being meaningless is its greatest meaning."
Wizard Thomasson walked on the podium, and the topic gradually deepened. "The Golden Crown Mountain...or the path to explore the truth in the magical world is all about studying useless science. Apart from discovering several mechanisms of action of the color variation of magic plant branches, that witch published several S-level articles of the association."
Wizard Thomasson said: "For For you outside wizards, spending seven years on how to make a plum tree look more beautiful seems like you have gone crazy. "
"But then this witch became the wizard of the three-ring throne, and her name was Witch Ekaterina."
Locke's eyes widened in surprise.
Has your co-mentor ever done this kind of thing when you were young?
Wizard Thomasson said: "In the process of studying this phenomenon, Witch Ekaterina discovered the key point that allowed her to obtain the Youth Cadre Fund and become a Qinggan during the second-ring wizard stage - the light element infusion mutation mechanism of plants."
"So, she was in the second level stage, so she cultivated a royal plum tree tree guard, which is the famous second level tree man, with seven ways of attacking magic."
"And, she was also allowed to be in the third level. During the ring stage, she published an epoch-making article "Variations of the Magic Co-Channel Cultivation Method—Basic Principles of the Rainbow Co-Channel Cultivation Method" in "Yanyu Yunze", a top journal that only three-ring wizards can publish. That article gave her the possibility of obtaining the title of Throne Wizard."
Everyone obviously did not expect that things would develop like this. The first-level wizard who sounded like a deviant was now the third-level wizard and the throne wizard of Golden Mian Mountain.
That research that seemed to be of little use in the first stage turned out to be the starting point for Witch Ekaterina to discover the light element reverse mutation mechanism of magic plants and the rainbow co-frequency cultivation method.
The wizards looked thoughtful.
Wizard Thomasson said: "Studying the most common-looking magic plants, or the weather, some common plant traits, or the weather, and studying its mechanism of action may seem like a waste of time, and it may seem like useless learning, but it is the most useful."
Wizard Thomasson said: "So, you must take this course on the first day you join, because there are a lot of subjects in Zhenzhi Academy, which are different from the experiments you have done before. They are all useless work."
"And, for a long time, you will definitely not find any use in them. Apart from writing articles, there will be no use for them."
"These are basic subjects that are not taken seriously in other wizarding lands. For wizarding lands that are short of resources and need rapid progress in a short period of time, pursuing these things will not improve them at all."
"But we in Yunze Wetland need to stand in the future."
Wizard Thomasson said: "This is why an article system is needed. Otherwise, all wizards can put aside articles and directly make actual projects. After making projects, everyone can naturally see his level, but the problem is that a lot of knowledge and many articles are useless, but they are the basis of those truly useful projects."
Wizard Thomasson said: "Therefore, in this class, magic plant science What kind of discipline is it? A theory that studies the mechanisms and pathways behind the emergence of unknown phenomena in magic plants. What is weather science? It is a theory that studies the formation mechanism of weather phenomena. "
"Magic plant science is not about making weapons, nor is it about agriculture, but a theory about studying nature. And weather science is not about making everyone have good weather, but a theory about wizards exploring the mysteries of the sky."
Wizard Thomasson said: "That's it for today. get out of class is over. I hope all the new wizards who have joined Golden Mian Mountain will be prepared. Golden Mian Mountain is different from what you think. What we do here is just vain things, and what we play here is useless stuff."
"If we only talk about practicality, There are many first-level wizards here, and even their comprehensive abilities and practical engineering development are not as good as those of the wizards in the wizarding land where you are originally. "If the pursuit of practicality has led you to the path of exploring the truth, then the pursuit of illusion can make you go further on the path of truth."
thomasson said: "Practice and nothingness are two sides of the same coin. The pursuit of practicality and the pursuit of nothingness are both beneficial to us. This... even involves your path after becoming a second-ring wizard."
“However, let’s not mention this for now. There is no need to explain the specific content in advance. When you become a second-level wizard, you will naturally understand how meaningful this lesson today is to you. The reason why there are so few second-level wizards in other wizarding places is due to lack of resources. , It’s also that there is a problem with their views.”
Thomasson said: “Today’s lesson is essentially laying the foundation for you to become a second-level wizard.”
All the wizards in the class thought deeply.
Locke blinked, thinking about why Thomasson, the second-level wizard, said that the content of this class was actually related to the second-level wizard.
Locke and Wizard Daniel left the classroom. Wizard Daniel muttered to himself, "Useless learning? Pursuing illusions?"
"I originally felt that after becoming a Proverb Master, the things studied by the Spiritual School were too nihilistic, so I studied weather science. However, after we came to Yunze Wetland, we were asked to adapt. What we learned was all nihilistic science."
· Wizard Daniel covered his forehead with a look of doubt. "This is really too difficult for me."
"Pursuing nothingness? In our fission mausoleum, if I want to do this, let alone become an official wizard, I'm afraid I will be eliminated at the first-class wizard apprentice stage. If you don't make results, you can't make money, and if you can't make money, you have no resources. Those who can pursue nothingness will be masters with extremely abundant resources and no shortage of money."
Wizard Daniel sighed.
Locke nodded slightly. "However, this is Yunze Wetland after all. Each wizarding place has its own rules, so we can just follow the local customs."
The two returned to their staff dormitory on the third floor of the castle.
It is said to be a staff dormitory, but it is actually two large adjacent houses. There are rooms divided into rooms inside, which are very large and equipped with five standard forest elf servants.
In short, the living conditions of the First Ring wizards in Yunze Wetland are still very good.
Furthermore, because of the advanced magic technology in Yunze Wetland, Locke feels that living here is much more convenient than living in the land of six towers.
One night passed, Locke sat on the bed. After a night of meditation, he found that his magic pressure had increased by 10 again.
At the same time, Locke saw the witch Ekaterina on the gray fog slate, saying that she could go to the laboratory of Group 6 at six o'clock this morning, and she had already told the group leader the wizard.
At the same time, Witch Ekaterina told herself that because the choice of advanced meditation method was related to her promotion to the second-level wizard, she could not choose it casually.
Hence, she planned to wait until next month, when she holds a group meeting, and give herself an hour alone to guide herself in choosing advanced meditation methods.
Locke had no problem with this.
In any case, he has not even achieved the first stage of crystallization, so choosing the advanced meditation method in advance has no practical significance for him.
Furthermore, if you make the wrong choice, it will be very troublesome. It would be more reliable to have a throne wizard choose it for you.
Locke looked at him in confusion, full of sleep.
Daniel Wizard waved his hand to himself. "Don't worry, it's mainly because in my fission mausoleum, I never went back at two in the morning and worked normally at six in the morning. So it takes some time to adapt to... this fast pace."
Locke said: "I meditated for half the night."
Wizard Daniel: "..."
Wizard Daniel was silent for a moment, looked at Locke carefully, and complained in a low voice: "For a moment, I thought you were a wizard born and raised in this area, and you have adapted to their crazy schedule so quickly."
"I still have to get used to it."
Locke hesitated and said, "Daniel, you are going in the wrong direction. I remember that the direction of the Climatology Laboratory is on the left, and I should be on the right."
In the corridor, wizard Daniel nodded, raised his hand and said, "Thank you."
Locke, on the other hand, walked forward along the corridor on the right. He found the target location, pushed open the laboratory door, and immediately saw a vast garden behind the door.
In the garden, there are birds singing and flowers fragrant, there are various large-scale breeding equipment, and there are magic fields one after another.
There are many first-level wizards in the crystallization stage here, and there are also second-level wizards doing experiments around the magic field.
At that time, a middle-aged wizard with a second ring wearing a modified wizard robe and a jacket with many large pockets, many magic plant seeds in the pockets, and fluorescent moss bracers on his wrists walked over with a frown.
The middle-aged wizard picked up a gold watch, a magic weapon in his hand, looked at the time, and suddenly frowned. "You are late. Catherine Throne told me that you would come at six o'clock, but now it is six o'clock, one minute and three seconds, and you are a full minute late!"
"Three more seconds."
Locke was extremely shocked. He did not expect that there would be a second-level wizard standing at the door of Zhenzhiyuan's Breeding Public Laboratory, waiting for him with a magic clock, and told himself that he was one minute and three seconds late.
The middle-aged wizard looked at Locke and frowned. "Although you are a wizard recommended by Catherine's throne, and I am also the team leader under this throne. Logically speaking, I should be very satisfied with you, but now I have two major dissatisfactions with you."
"The first major dissatisfaction is that you were one minute late on the first day. What else do you want to do in the future?"
"The second major dissatisfaction is that you are only a wizard in the first-ring liquefaction stage, not the first-ring crystallization stage. This has lowered the average magic level in our group. It should be said that my main dissatisfaction with you comes from this."
Locke ignored the second-level wizard's pretentiousness and asked: "Wait a minute, Mr. Second-level Wizard, I remember that my contract with Zhenzhiyuan stipulated that I can independently research projects, so I personally should not affect the six groups..."
The second-level wizard frowned, and his brows seemed to be able to kill flies. "Then I have three major dissatisfactions with you now. The third major dissatisfaction is that you seem to have no sense of community."
"It's a waste of time to fight alone. If you cooperate with others, it will be beneficial to everyone."
"My name is Celtic." The Celtic second-level wizard pursed his lips. As an ordinary second-level wizard, he did not dare to disobey the orders of Catherine's throne. He also knew how much the other party valued the young man in front of him, so even if he had three major dissatisfaction with Locke, he could only watch him join the group.
"The laboratory is divided into four categories of personnel. The first category is you researchers, the second category is us, the lecture mages of Golden Mian Mountain, and the third category is these jointly trained first-class wizard apprentice students. Some of them may become your students in the future."
"Finally, there is Lord Throne."
“I am the team leader here, and I am the middle tutor here, and you are the junior tutor here, and Lord Throne is the big tutor here.”
“Researcher Augustine, I hope I will not be more dissatisfied with you in the future.”
