Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Murphy thought for a while and asked: "What if I don't want to use the 'Magic Network', can I present the most precise result in my mind and complete the magic directly?"

Haldane shook his head, "That's impossible. Human perception units only reach the level of 'objects'. We can imagine a grain of sand, but how can you imagine all the edges and ravines in the sand? Imagine all the things in the sand." The location and state of silica? If not, then the blank spaces in your imagination are all filled by the 'Magic Network'."

"Use some kind of model or calculation?" Murphy continued to ask, "For example...gold, we already know its atomic composition and its crystal structure. I can build its overall model. It is just a It's just the repetition of a simple unit cell, can I generate it directly without using the 'Magic Network'?"

Haldane thought for a while and said, "I think it won't be that simple."

"I have talked about the probability payment hypothesis before. The probability of a gold atom being generated from vacuum fluctuations is extremely small, let alone generating an entire block of macroscopic matter..."

"Okay, this example is wrong. Let's change it. For example, let's use the spell 'Split' to tear objects into regular shapes? Just like the table in front of you, connect the midpoints of the opposite sides to form two intersections. Use the center line as the tear line to split the table into four even pieces?"

"This..." Haldane hesitated, "Theoretically, it should be possible. But your description and image are still very vague. For example, how straight are the two lines you drew? Are they seemingly straight lines, or are they... A straight line in the strict sense of mathematics? Or is it the van der Waals force or the chemical bond that you are tearing apart?"

Murphy: "If I want to use two mathematical straight lines to divide this table into four pieces, whether it is intermolecular forces, chemical bonds, or strong and weak nuclear forces, all of them will be cut off. This can be done. Can you do it?”

"If you imagine the result you want to get and cast a spell based on it, you have only formulated a few rules and have not completely replaced the 'Magic Network'. For example, what is the way to cut through those electromagnetic forces and strong and weak nuclear forces? This process is probably similar to that, you propose a construction plan, but the person actually doing the road construction is still the Magic Network."

"Unless your cognitive level has reached the nanometer level, you can perceive the existence of those molecules and atoms, and have determined all the subsequent related motion trajectories for each atom and molecule, even protons and neutrons, so that They are separated from each other. You have basically bypassed the 'Magic Network' and completed the magic yourself."

"But what's the point? You might as well just wish for a sharp knife and cut the table into four pieces."

Murphy thought for a while and said: "With the help of a black box, it is not omniscient and omnipotent."

Just like the protagonists of those novels who rely on Goldfinger, without Goldfinger, they are nothing.

"Magic power is actually a black box." Haldane said, "But I probably understand what you mean, boss."

"It's just that it may be extremely difficult to completely replace the 'Magic Network'. First, you have to adjust your perception accuracy."

"We humans perceive the world in units of 'objects'. When we want to operate on a macroscopic object, this perception accuracy is sufficient. For example, we can make a book levitate, launch a stone, etc."

"We can use classical physics to understand and manipulate things at this perceptual precision."

"But if you want to finely control more subtle substances, your perception: vision, touch, etc., you must have at least one thing that can distinguish things of this scale, such as seeing a cell through a microscope. You only have perception Only when you get to it can you perform precise operations on it.”

"This is just a possibility."

"In fact, I guess that just as we have a certain degree of precision in controlling our bodies, wizards may also have a minimum precision problem in controlling magic power. This is the precision of control."

"In addition to the hard conditions of perception accuracy and control accuracy, you also need to have enough knowledge, knowledge on various cognitive accuracy."

"At the most microscopic level, it is quantum physics; at the material level, it is chemistry and polymer chemistry; at the cellular level, it is molecular biology and cytogenetics; at the tissue and organ level, it is medicine and physiology; at the object level, it is Classical physics, etc., and the scale continues to expand, reaching the level of relativity and cosmology.”

“This knowledge will help you construct an achievable path with the least ‘probability pay’ cost.”

"Finally, you also need computing power that is powerful enough to allow you to handle the massive amounts of information and calculations involved in the entire process."

“When you ‘make a wish’, as long as your wish is precise enough, you may get an optimal solution.”

"But without the help of the 'Magic Network', you have to build this optimal solution yourself."

"In general: perception accuracy, magic control accuracy, amount of knowledge, computing power...all are indispensable. But as long as these conditions are met, then you can have abilities similar to the Magic Network."

"You can manipulate magic as you wish, and control everything in the world, from macroscopic mountains, rivers, and seas to microscopic particles and fields. Your spells will achieve all your will. By then, you will be omniscient and omnipotent."

Murphy was silent for a while and then stood up, "Thank you for clarifying my doubts. Your several conjectures and assumptions about magic are very valuable."

"I would like to ask you to establish a research group like the Transfiguration Research Group to study how to improve these four abilities of wizards."

Murphy said, patting the other party on the shoulder, "Congratulations, you have found the second way for a wizard to become a god."

"I want to name it: 'Conjuration Pathway'."

…

"I can't stand it anymore." When Murphy returned to the ground, Patrick called. "A comprehensive investigation may be launched next week at the latest. Now they have asked the tax department to get involved and ask for all our accounts. Information.”

"FXXK!"

Murphy cursed secretly, but remained calm when he put the receiver to his ear again.

You can even comfort Patrick, "Let's be prepared to transfer our core business first. At worst, we go to Iceland or Southeast Asia. What are we afraid of? If we can create a protective umbrella, we can create a second one."

"Oh, that's all we have to do."

Patrick on the other side also sighed.

While talking on the phone, Murphy saw a piece of news playing on the TV that was on. The picture seemed a bit familiar to him.

He frowned and turned up the TV volume.

"This station reports that an explosion occurred in a warehouse in the dock area."

"The warehouse is located in the southern area of ​​the Wellhouse Storage Center in the old dock area. It is a special chemical storage warehouse. It was rented by Pansibo Company two months ago and is allegedly used to store hazardous chemical products."

"The explosion did not cause any casualties. The specific cause of the explosion is still under further investigation. Now let's look at another news..."

After confirming that the warehouse mentioned on TV was his own, Murphy quickly told Patrick to hang up the phone, and then dialed the number of the rescue team, "What's going on? Didn't it say a non-fatal trap?" ?Why did there still be an explosion? What on earth did you use?"

"A few animal traps and other traps and two or three trip mines."

"Tripping thunder?"

"We have set broad-blade mines at some points. If the opponent is frightened and retreats after encountering several ordinary traps in front, they will not be triggered."

Murphy: "..."

Broadblade mine?

You call this a non-lethal trap? !
