Chapter 456. 455. Magic and Technology
"Magic technology? Little fairy, do you mean the toy-like technology that the moon rabbits have made?"

As an expert in alchemy, senior sister Mia is not unfamiliar with the term magic technology, but in her impression, this technology has always been just a toy.

Among the many worlds in the western universe, there are not only magical civilizations, but also technological civilizations. For example, the Moon Rabbit Clan is actually a technological civilization.

It's just that the four major natural disasters standing at the apex of the universe are all magic civilizations, which shows that the current situation of those technological civilizations is embarrassing.

The apex of those technological civilizations is currently at the level of top silver races like Moon Rabbit, which is considered powerful in the entire universe, but in the eyes of natural disaster races like witches, so-called technology is nothing more than a trail, a toy. .

"Little fairy, although it is indeed a way to develop science and technology when we cannot obtain the power of a witch, the road of science and technology is essentially subordinate to the road of omniscience, and the knowledge reserves required for the development of science and technology are too much. It is impossible for us to build a complete technological system from scratch in a short period of time."

Senior sister Mia is obviously knowledgeable, and she pointed out the shortcomings of the road to technology.

Generally speaking, magic and technology are opposed to each other, and this opposition stems from the difference in ideology between the two parties.

The source of the power of magic is the mind, and almost all mages are idealists. They pay attention to the idea that all great powers belong to themselves. In essence, the end of this road is the realm of omnipotence.

The origin of science and technology is knowledge. Scientists are mostly materialists. They pay more attention to logic and laws, and are good at using external objects. In essence, the end of this road is the realm of omniscience.

This is the normal development route of magic and technological civilization, one is omnipotent, the other is omniscient, but in the end they will end up in the same direction.

A highly developed magical civilization may look like a science fiction world at first glance, but many things in a highly evolved technological civilization are no different from magic in the eyes of ordinary people.

It's just that the witches are obviously weird, they want them all.

Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be hard.

There are two paths of omniscience and omnipotence in the world of witches. Seriously speaking, the witch of the path of omniscience is the real witch, while the witch of the path of omniscience is more like a scientist in the cloak of a magician.

It's just who told the witches to change careers halfway from the highly developed magic civilization, which leads to even though the witches on the road to omniscience are scientists in essence, but these scientists never think about how to develop technology, but use all All the research results have been invested in better improving the efficiency and power of magic.

Well, the proud works of the great scientists of normal technological civilization are all kinds of inventions and creations, but the proud works of the all-knowing witches are all kinds of sophisticated spell models they have improved.

The reason why there is such a difference is actually the same as the witch on the path of omniscience has been secretly envious of the talent of the witch on the path of omniscience. Who the hell wanted to take the path of omniscience from the very beginning? Insufficient talent, unable to walk omnipotent, this is the way of omniscience with a lower threshold, thinking about relying on knowledge to make up for the lack of talent.

The same is true for those technological civilizations. The starting point of this type of civilization is generally mortal civilization. Without magical talent, they cannot become mages. Those who control the extraordinary power of magic have to rely on their brains to make some inventions to improve their lives.

After all, if everyone is born with the ability to fly, why would the airplane need to be invented?
It is precisely because the scientists of technological civilization cannot fly by nature that they use their wisdom to invent tools such as airplanes.

But witches can really fly.

Even though the witches who take the path of omniscience are poor students with "average aptitude", they are still superhuman per capita compared to ordinary people, so the "technology" they study afterwards is naturally suitable for superhuman technology, not ordinary people's technology .

From another perspective, the spell models improved by those all-knowing witches are actually "witch technology".

In other words, the "witch technology" mastered by the all-knowing witches is actually too high-end, several versions ahead, and this is actually a late-stage technology of technological civilization.

After all, with the advancement of science and technology, special technologies such as biological transformation and genetic evolution can allow mortals to evolve and gain extraordinary power.

Although scientific and technological civilizations generally call such evolvers arrogantly "superpowers", in essence, these evolvers have acquired the ability to control magic power.

It's just that different people have mastered different magical powers, so there will be differences in various abilities.

For example, a person who has mastered the magic power of life has a strong physical quality and is a superpower of the fighting system, and a person who has mastered the magic power of elements can manipulate water and fire, and is a superpower of the element system.

And the abilities of "superpowers" need to be developed to become powerful, and the development of abilities generally requires something called a superpower program, and so-called superpower programs, mages generally call their similar things spells Model.

Look, isn't this still the same goal by different routes?
Of course, the superpower program and the spell model only look similar, but they are still not completely the same in essence. After all, the core of one is still idealistic, and the core of the other is still materialistic. The two cannot be fully compatible. You can refer to each other for ideas.

Probably only when they really reach the state of omniscience and omnipotence can the two be fully integrated.

It’s just that for now, there is no other technological civilization in the western universe that can refer to these “witch technologies”. After all, the controller of the original magic power is really only the witch family, and most other technological civilizations are still using the third level. Even with the fourth-level degraded magic power, there are not many technological races like Moon Rabbit who can use the second-level degraded magic power.

But even the moon rabbits are hard to refer to the witch's magic. After all, the energy matching of the two sides is different. You are a difference machine powered by steam, and I am a computer powered by electricity. Difficult to copy.

In short, for now, witches are contemptuous of most so-called technologies. After all, those things are similar to toys in the eyes of witches. Those technological creations can do things that they can only do better with magic. it is good.

Who made the witch's magic itself have super cutting-edge technology.

The same is true for senior sister Mia. She feels that taking the technological route is a dead end. She gave up the magical path that the witches themselves have a foundation for, and went to the technological path with a lower limit. What a good way.

"I also have the same idea with my senior sister. Miss, you are people-oriented because you want to rely on these mortals. No matter how many mortals are in front of the angels, they are just ants. No matter how many ants there are, they can't kill the dragon."

It's not just Mia-senpai who objected, Madeleine didn't quite agree with the plan either, the succubus girl also questioned at this time.

That is, the two cuties, Alice and Audrey, looked at each other without saying anything.

Alice is because she is a scumbag. She really doesn't understand. Anyway, she just follows her sister without thinking.

And Audrey actually felt that the senior sister's method was a little inappropriate, but considering the miracles that the senior sister had created before, she felt that she should not use her mortal wisdom to question the senior sister's decision, so as not to be slapped in the face later Crackling.

When the senior sister went to the Nine Gates entrance examination before, she questioned the senior sister in the same way. In the end, the facts proved that she was indeed too good to have enough imagination.

Sure enough, Dorothy was already prepared to speak in the face of the doubts from Senior Mia and Madeleine.

"Seniors, don't you forget that the Witch Battleship is actually a magic technology."

With just a few words, she directly left Senior Mia and Madeleine speechless.

Although witches do rely on their own strength to fight most of the time, all giant war weapons are really useful when they have time, and the apex of giant war weapons is the witch warship.

Although at this time they can still stubbornly say that if they face a sage-level boss, most of the Witch Battleships are still toys, but this is a bit too unreasonable.

"Miss, although the Witch Battleship is strong, it's impossible for you to rub the battleship with bare hands, that's unrealistic."

Madeleine seemed to want to persuade her a little more,
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the young lady on the other side suddenly put her hands on her hips, with a smug look on her face, while Senior Mia, who was on the same front as her just now, didn't say a word.

Ah this
The succubus girl is not a fool either. Seeing this weird situation, she immediately realized a very outrageous possibility.

But this is a bit too unmagical, Miss, even if you can pass the Nine Departments entrance examination, but a single man-made ship or something is still too much, the Lord Demon King was not as open as you back then.

Madeleine is still a little unconvinced, after all, she is not a member of the Witch's House, and has not participated in the previous shipbuilding process.

But her own sister participated in it.

"Sister, it's true. Sister, she just built a battleship not long ago. It is now the car of our club. It is made of a pile of building materials. It can leap to the spiritual world, and the power of the main gun is also at the level of nine-ring magic. .”

Seeing her sister's disbelieving expression, Audrey hurriedly sent a voice transmission secretly.

Madeleine: "."

The chairman of the Disciplinary Committee is a little bit out of his mouth right now. My sister is a good boy and never tells a lie, so this is actually true?

fuck.
The succubus girl burst into foul words in her heart. She really aimed to arm witches as a career goal. Naturally, she knew the gold content of witch warships very well. If they could really build a few witch warships in this witch night, You don't need any high-end warships, just ordinary ones. You can eat hot pot and sing songs, and then directly bring the angels' lair and bombard the holy city of Pingna Church.

"Little fairy, don't you still have your memory? Shouldn't that knowledge be sealed?"

Senior Mia was also a little excited at this time, but she calmed down and asked again.

"Well, it is true that they are still sealed, but senior sister, you have to know that knowledge cannot be completely taken away, especially the knowledge you have completely mastered. The power of the Lord God King only temporarily blocks our memory, but It is like a dry river bed, as long as it rains, the river will still regenerate quickly."

Dorothy nodded and admitted first, but her face was still confident.

"Give me a little time and I'll be able to get that knowledge back in no time."

For such an explanation, senior sister Mia nodded, she believed it.

After all, in the God King's small class recently, she herself found that learning alchemy is much easier than other magic, and she can often draw inferences after learning it, which is much faster than when she first learned it when she was a child up.

Naturally, this cannot be because she has become a genius, it is simply because the residual memory in her brain has recovered. As the head of the contemporary alchemy school at Witch Academy, she was originally a master alchemist, even if her memory is gone, but instinct, vision, touch, etc The invisible still exists.

If she is like this, then the little fairy who is smarter than her must be even more so.

If the goblins can finally create the Witch Battleship, then even if the God King is not awakened and they cannot obtain the power of the Witch, then there is still the possibility of resistance, at least not so that they will not be beaten helplessly .

"If this is the case, then I have no objection, and I will fully support you."

Mia-senpai nodded and said so.

She now understands why the little goblin wants to take the road of science and technology. This is to prepare for building warships in the future. After all, after everyone loses the power of a witch, it will be a bit difficult to use the ship with bare hands. So first have a certain amount of industry It will be much more convenient if you are technologically advanced.

And if the individual can't do it, it is a matter of course to rely on the strength of the collective. After all, only by concentrating strength can we accomplish great things.

Only then did the golden princess somewhat understand the intention of the second rule of putting people first.

Although the group of mortals are not effective in combat, they can still be used if they are just assisting in the work.

Senior Mia nodded, and Madeleine didn't say much, and she didn't object too much.

Although as a pure warrior, she doesn't really like sitting in a battleship and manipulating a turret to shoot, but prefers to go to the battlefield and fight people head-on, but she also understands that before she has the power of a witch, such an idea It's unreliable, after all, she can't ask the eldest lady to give her a mecha or something just to take care of her.

Miss, she is already a shipbuilder, how could she even know how to construct armor.

However, on the other side, Dorothy was planning more things in her heart.

In war, as long as there is not much difference in frontal combat power, then the last fight is often the logistics ability.

Isn't this a coincidence, her civil witch is best at logistics, after all, her teacher Spider is best at building war facilities on the battlefield.

Well, I have to find a way to get a few giant soldiers taught by Mr. Spider to come out and prepare for construction, and open a few arsenals first.

Damn it, I promised to be a real estate tycoon, but in the end I became a professional counterpart inexplicably. I shouldn't have learned war puppetry from Teacher Spider in the first place. It's really unlucky.

In addition to shipbuilding and war building techniques, the magic of the Forest Witch series cannot be wasted. The magic system of a normal witch is based on idealism, which is incompatible with technological civilization, but the witch system is the materialism of my previous life. Created with doctrine as the core, it seems to be compatible with technological civilization.

"Okay, now that everyone agrees with the tone, it's time for us to discuss specific plans."

Dorothy didn't continue to think about it, she quickly continued the meeting, and then said so.

"To climb the technology tree, we need a complete industrial system and a set of related scientific research institutes to study technology. Secondly, we need enough materials and resources. In order to coordinate everything, we need a strong leadership organization .”

"And in the final analysis, what we need now is just enough wealth and talents."

"Everyone, we will create a rich world and a great civilization with our own hands."

Dorothy was talking eloquently.
