Chapter 2065 The Intersection of the Technological and the Mystical Sides, Tianji King He Xi's Confidence
"Acquiring technology is never the hard part; the value of an advanced and complete set of technical documents often far exceeds the technology itself."
"Taking the 'water droplet' as an example, the core lies in the strong interaction material; even though the fundamental parameters of our universe, such as the strong interaction constant, are different from those of the 'Three-Body' universe, making it impossible for us to perfectly reproduce the same 'water droplet'."
"But studying this technology can at least point us in the direction of pushing the intensity of macroscopic matter toward its theoretical limits."
"The essence of a two-dimensional foil is a directional weapon that causes the collapse of spatial dimensions."
"Its technological value lies in revealing what 'dimension' might look like as a weapon and a physical phenomenon in terms of 'operation method' and 'triggering mechanism'."
Holy Keisha spoke, and He Xi nodded in agreement.
"That's true."
"An advanced technology is itself a treasure trove containing many technologies, even if it cannot be fully explored for the time being."
"So, the second direction."
"It is to wish for some kind of mystical knowledge that is highly compatible with the characteristics and development direction of our angelic civilization."
She pulled up another set of data, which contained all the items Angel Yan had obtained through the shop after joining that place, including Devil Fruits, Divine Tree Fruits, Zanpakuto, cultivation techniques, and magic.
"Although because Yan joined there, we were able to access and even purchase knowledge from other worlds, including many products of the mystical system."
"However, those things are completely unanalyzable."
"They are like books written in unfamiliar languages and based on completely different physical and mathematical rules."
“We can obtain their power through the thing that Yan joined, but we are completely unable to truly study their essence.”
He Xi's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible frustration, which was extremely rare for her.
The Angel Civilization is essentially a creation born from the combination of technology and super genes.
All their power, whether driving the gene engine, utilizing dark energy, or performing calculations through the sacred treasury of knowledge, is based on observable, quantifiable, and modelable scientific principles.
Even if the secondary biological engine can interfere with concepts, it is a technological means based on specific information encoding and void energy conversion models, and it does not trigger areas such as mystical "rules".
The "mystery" of other worlds is often like a black box to them.
They can observe the inputs and outputs, but they are completely unable to understand their internal workings, let alone replicate, improve, or integrate their principles into their own systems.
The differences in the rules of the world are like an impenetrable barrier, preventing them from using the finished products and studying their essence.
"But this time, the chance to make a wish is different!"
He Xi's tone was full of certainty.
"Since wishes are granted in the form of 'law approval,' it means that the 'mystical knowledge' we gain through this wish can be adapted to our universe and integrated into our existing technological system."
Holy Keisha listened quietly, her beautiful face expressionless, but a storm was brewing deep within her eyes.
She completely understood why He Xi was so excited.
"In that case, why don't we use this wishing opportunity to obtain something that best suits our angelic civilization?"
"A good fit means a higher research success rate and faster translation efficiency."
Technology and mystery, or rather, the "materialist" path based on observation, experimentation, and logical reasoning, and the "idealist" path based on faith, concepts, and rules, may be clearly distinct or even mutually exclusive in the early and middle stages of development.
But when they stand high enough and see far enough, they will find that they may ultimately point to the same destination.
The description, understanding, and application of the essential rules of the universe.
The dark energy drive, gene engine, sacred language encoding, and even the interference of the secondary biological engine with "concepts" that they use are no different from "miracles," "magic," or "mysticism" in the eyes of lower civilizations.
They simply use formulas, algorithms, and models to deconstruct it, calling it "technology."
Those "mystical" forces, in their world, must also follow some kind of inherent, knowable "rules," only their manifestations and logic of action are quite different from the scientific system.
In fact, given the technological level of angels, researching things like Devil Fruits and Zanpakuto, and even reverse-engineering their application principles, is not particularly difficult.
The only difficulty is that they can't grasp their essence!
Why can a fruit grant a person the power to control fire? Why can a knife resonate with the soul and evolve? These questions are difficult to understand and even contradictory within the physical framework of the known universe.
The "effect" they see cannot be traced back to the "cause" of the world in which it exists, nor can that unique "cause" be transplanted into their own rule-based environment.
This resulted in all their research remaining at the superficial level of "knowing what, but not why," acquiring some insignificant application skills, but failing to truly absorb the core rules and achieve a fundamental expansion of the knowledge system.
However, this time, the number of wishes they can make allows them to directly wish for a mysterious power that is compatible with the rules of our universe, understandable by their existing technological system, and highly aligned with the concepts of the angelic civilization!
"It seems like there are two options, but in reality, there is no need to choose at all."
"The technologies represented by the first option may indeed be somewhat tempting and can inspire us on the relevant technology tree."
"But even without these technologies, with the wisdom of Wang Hexi of Tianji, as long as we determine the research direction and spend enough time, is it really impossible for us to make breakthroughs in the fields of strong interaction materials, dimensional manipulation, and even new energy?"
He Xi's tone carried the composure and pride of a wise man.
"Even if our research encounters insurmountable bottlenecks, or we want to take shortcuts."
"In the worlds corresponding to these technologies, will there really be no new members joining that force in the future? Once members from those worlds join, we will have the opportunity to purchase information about those technologies."
"It's just a matter of time."
Her gaze became distant, as if she could see the long and glorious history and future of the angelic civilization.
"What we angels have in abundance is precisely time."
"Keisha, you and I have been leading the angelic civilization for thirty thousand years; thirty thousand years is such a long time."
"It has allowed us to accumulate unparalleled knowledge and skills, and it has also taught us patience."
"In the known universe today, under the sway of a just order, no civilization can shake our foundations."
"Even the so-called 'ultimate fear' is by no means an insurmountable or incomprehensible existence, given our witnessing of the great power of other worlds and our own continuous evolution."
"We do not need to give up this opportunity that could open a whole new door for our civilization for the sake of a temporary technological advantage that can be gained over time or through future opportunities."
The consciousness of the Holy Keisha nodded in response to He Xi's words.
He Xi is right.
The Angel Civilization, starting with her and He Xi, has stood in the known universe for 30,000 years.
Thirty thousand years have not only endowed them with unparalleled technological prowess and military strength, but also forged in them the patience and foresight truly befitting a god-like civilization.
They witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations, experienced the cruelty of physical warfare and the preciousness of peace, and over the long course of time, forged the word "justice" into the foundation of civilization's immortality.
In the known universe today, under the protection of the righteous order of the Angelic Civilization, although occasionally the likes of the Styx Gluttony stir up trouble, remnants of demons secretly covet the universe, and scholars like Death God Karl who delve into the void bring unsettling variables, overall, no force can truly shake the foundation of the Angelic Civilization.
Even the "ultimate fear" that Principal Kieran foretold and that Karl so earnestly sought was no longer a threat in the eyes of the angels.
Although Angel Yan's mission only accounts for 10% of the total, and the level of the evil god's avatar, a [rule-level item] carried by the transmigrator, is limited, the reward value will not exceed "galaxy-level".
However, the individual power represented by "galaxy-level" is already a terrifying existence in the known universe that is enough to make most god-level civilizations look up to it.
The Angelic Civilization is not without means of destruction at the galaxy level, but these rely on massive celestial-class warships, complex energy systems, and "civilization-level" weapons; they are the culmination of technology and industry.
The idea that an "individual" possesses galactic-level power is entirely different.
That means that a single living organism can mobilize the immense energy of countless star systems at will, and its very existence can distort physical constants.
In the known universe, even for third- or fourth-generation divine bodies, the upper limit of individual destructive power usually remains at the "planet-exploding" level.
Driving a star and triggering a supernova explosion requires the assistance of a special celestial-level computing cloud and a long period of preparation; it is by no means a feat that can be accomplished by an individual in a single moment.
Destructive power may not be a complete measure of an entity's overall strength, but it is undoubtedly the most direct manifestation of that strength.
Therefore, even though this "number of wishes" is based on a task reward of "galaxy-level" value, the possibilities it contains are a gift that is enough to trigger reflection at the civilization level for the Angel Civilization.
Holy Keisha chuckled softly:
"You can decide what you specifically want."
"As the Heavenly King of the Angelic Civilization, I have never doubted your wisdom and vision."
"Only in your hands can this number of wishes be brought to its fullest potential."
She paused slightly, her tone becoming playful, even slightly teasing:
"Moreover, even if you don't use your wish on 'Angel Civilization' this time, but on something that interests you, or on some... well, 'selfish' reasons, it doesn't matter at all."
"After all, your precious apprentice, Zhixin, has brought a 'treasure' to our Angel Civilization that is more valuable than any technology or knowledge."
The Holy Keisha was referring to Bai Xuan here. Their collaboration, or rather, investment in Bai Xuan, was their most successful move.
From being initially favored by the will of Earth as the "Child of Nature," to later becoming the "Child of the Azure Sky," the "Child of All Heavens," and the "Lord of the World," and now to the "prototype of the multiverse."
Bai Xuan's evolution speed far exceeded their imagination.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that someone could grow from an ordinary person into someone with power that surpasses the world itself in just two years.
Two years is but a blink of an eye for civilization, but it has created an absolute powerhouse.
"With him here, with this connection there is no 'threat' to the known universe."
"So, He Xi, just as you said, the one thing we angels have in abundance is time."
While the opportunity to make a wish is precious, it is not an irreplaceable necessity compared to what they already possess.
If it can satisfy He Xi's curiosity, verify one of He Xi's conjectures, or acquire something unique and interesting for He Xi herself, Keisha believes it is entirely worthwhile.
When He Xi heard Keisha's words, which were somewhat "indulgent" and even "encouraging" her to "use her position for personal gain," she was first stunned, then as if she had heard something extremely interesting, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That smile instantly softened the seriousness of their previous discussion about the future of civilization, taking on a hint of cunning and mischief.
"Hahaha"
"You tomboy, you're being surprisingly generous now, even allowing 'using public office for private gain'?"
He Xi smiled, her eyes crinkling, and even raised her hand to point at Keisha.
She looked at Keisha with a teasing smile, her tone becoming relaxed and slightly mocking:
"You've already mentioned Bai Xuan, have you forgotten what my relationship with that kid is now? If I really had some wild curiosity, or some unbelievable conjecture that urgently needed verification, would I need to waste such a wishing opportunity?"
"I'm He Xi, you know. I'm already very close to Bai Xuan."
“I visit his world more often now than I return to my palace in the Heavenly Court of Merlo.”
"If I really have something I'm interested in or want to know, it would be better to just ask him directly; that kid is the master of the world, all the knowledge of the world is in his head."
"There's nothing that can stump him."
Therefore, it's best to use this wish opportunity honestly on the "right path," in a way that can have the greatest impact on their angelic civilization.
Keisha couldn't help but chuckle at He Xi's string of rebuttals and self-praises. She smiled and shook her head.
"I almost forgot, you're in a position to have an advantage right now."
"That is!"
He Xi accepted the teasing without hesitation.
"So let's go with the second option. As for what wish to make, let me go back and think about it carefully."
"Eternal life, powerful body, indestructible constitution—I actually think our divine body system is quite strong, it just consumes too many resources and lacks the abilities that the mystical side should have for an equivalent physical body."
