[Rin Tohsaka: But Master Chen Xuan, even if using the world itself as a magic base is feasible, what about the spell formulas inscribed on the base? Isn't the purpose of setting up a magic base to inscribe one's family's unique magic formulas within it? Especially the magic circuits, how can we connect and activate the spells without magic circuits?]
After listening to Chen Xuan's explanation, Rin Tohsaka barely understood a little. She knew that Chen Xuan was using the world as a magic base. However, this brought up a new problem. They set up separate magic bases because only a separately set and adjusted magic base would contain the user's family's magic formulas.
Using magic and magic circuits to power these things is the key to activating a magic formula. But even though Chen Xuan's approach uses the world as the foundation of magic, the most crucial magic formula and the magic circuits used to connect and power the formula are missing. Without circuits to connect and power the formula, how can magic be activated?
[Chen Xuan: That's why I said we need to change our perspective. Rin, in your opinion, what is the essence of magic in your world?]
Seeing Rin Tohsaka's question, Chen Xuan didn't rush to explain but instead asked her in return.
[Rin Tohsaka: Is this a phenomenon that defies common sense?]
Rin Tohsaka answered hesitantly.
[Chen Xuan: Yes and no. The essence of magic in your world is to reproduce things that are common-sense and can be achieved with just time and money in an uncommon way. It is essentially distortion and reversal, that is, the artificial reproduction of miracles. For example, the artificial reproduction of natural phenomena such as freezing and burning in an uncommon way. This is the essence of magic in your world.]
[Chen Xuan: For the realization of magic formulas in your world, what's important is not the base and the formula, nor the circuits used to connect and drive the formula and the base, but the reproduction—that is, the successful use of the rules inscribed in the world.]
[Chen Xuan: Since the core of magic is to recreate miracles, which is to use the rules inscribed in the world in an unconventional way, then our idea of using the world itself as the foundation of magic becomes valid. Because the foundation of magic and magic tricks are themselves tools used to implement the rules, and the rules and regulations are already clear, we can actively remove those unnecessary steps and return to simplicity.]
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xuan spoke up in the group to explain.
[Rin Tohsaka: Master Chen Xuan, could you please explain this more clearly? I still don't understand how to use magic as a magic base without pre-marking a formula or having magic circuits.]
After listening to Chen Xuan's explanation, Rin Tohsaka, feeling even more dizzy, quickly asked a question.
[Chen Xuan: Well, to put it simply, it's about directly using the world itself as the magic foundation, connecting with it, and projecting the rules you want to reproduce onto yourself. Since the connector itself is the rule, there's no need for the complex connection system of the magic foundation and magic circuits to maintain the stability of the spell; you can directly remove it from the process.]
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and explained to Rin Tohsaka in what she considered to be relatively simple language.
[Rin Tohsaka: Huh? Projection rules? Becoming the rules yourself?]
[Rin Tohsaka: I don't understand, I don't understand at all. Is this the difference between me and the pros?]
[Rin Tohsaka: I'm bowing down to you, master.]
[Kanroji Mitsuri: I'm kneeling before the master.]
[Sakura Kinomoto: I'm bowing down to the master.]
[Nami: I'm bowing down to the boss.]
After reading Chen Xuan's simple deduction, everyone in the chat group turned into academic failures, exclaiming that they couldn't understand it at all, and could only kneel down to Chen Xuan as a testament to their own shortcomings.
[Chen Xuan: Actually, it's not that difficult. I'll upload these derivations and insights directly to the group later. Those who want to learn can just buy the materials themselves.]
Seeing that everyone in the group was saying they didn't understand, Chen Xuan stopped saying anything. After all, even Rin Tohsaka, the most knowledgeable person in the group, was completely dumbfounded and had become a complete academic failure. The level of the other three was even worse. Sakura, the Queen of Magic, was like a primary school student without anyone to teach her magic. Although Mitsuri Kanroji and Nami were older, considering their world backgrounds, their cultural level might not even be as high as Sakura's. No matter how much you explained to them, they would be confused. It was better to use the chat group to cheat. After all, it's stupid not to use cheats. Being able to cheat is a skill in itself.
[Chen Xuan: However, simplifying magic formulas by connecting to the memories of the world is only slightly interesting.]
Chen Xuan spoke up again in the group chat.
[Rin Tohsaka: Master Chen Xuan, do you mean there's a new plan?]
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Rin Tohsaka also asked a very supportive question, after all, Master Chen Xuan's talent had never disappointed her.
[Chen Xuan: That's right, this isn't my ideal final improvement plan. Admittedly, projecting rules can greatly enhance the power of magic spells, directly eliminate the need for incantation, and can be combined with spells imprinted in the body to achieve a superimposed effect. However, there is a limit to the number of rules that can be projected onto the body using this method. Once the number of rules projected onto the body exceeds a certain amount, the user will most likely be distorted and shattered by multiple rules.]
As Chen Xuan spoke, she picked up a piece of debris from A Long Park and held it in her hand.
[Rin Tohsaka: Master Chen Xuan, so this method of using the world as a foundation for magic, while greatly increasing the efficiency and power of magic and allowing for layering, might lead to the user's physical body being unable to withstand the backlash from the rules if too many rules are projected?]
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Rin Tohsaka quickly retorted, since magic spells were her specialty, and she was hoping to learn something from Chen Xuan.
[Chen Xuan: Pretty much. After all, using a human body to bear the rules and memories of the world is already like rowing against the current, and the more one bears, the easier it is to capsize.]
[Chen Xuan: Furthermore, the key to magic is reproduction. If the goal is simply to achieve this, it doesn't necessarily have to rely solely on magic.]
As Chen Xuan spoke, the ruins and rubble she was holding began to change freely.
[Chen Xuan: If the goal is simply to artificially recreate miracles, then adopting scientific methods to enforce the rules is not impossible.]
Chen Xuanyu held the ruins in her hand, which had somehow transformed into a silver and red belt with two sockets, as well as two long props that looked like USB flash drives with letters printed on them.
Chapter Seventeen: It's perfectly reasonable for me, with divine talent, to rub my belt by hand.
[Rin Tohsaka: ? ? ? ? ? ]
[Ganluji Mili:? ? ? ? 】
[Kinomoto Sakura: ? ? ? ? ]
[Nami: ? ? ? ? ]
When Chen Xuan suggested using science to solve the problem, everyone in the chat group was completely bewildered. After all, weren't we talking about mystical theology? Why did you suddenly switch gears and start talking about science? Besides, we couldn't understand the theology you talked about before, and now you're switching to science, which they haven't had much exposure to. Isn't this just talking to a brick wall?
[Chen Xuan: Well, the reason I said that is because it's just about artificially recreating miracles and natural phenomena. Since using magic is only to save time and effort, it's not impossible to incorporate or adopt some scientific methods, or in some aspects, using science and technology might yield better solutions.]
[Chen Xuan: To give an analogy, if you just want to light a pile of wood, then according to magic, what you need to do is use magic power and magic circuits to activate the magic formula on the magic base plate before you can successfully achieve the effect of ignition.]
[Chen Xuan: But if we use scientific methods, the solution will be much simpler. Without tools, we can spend a little time making fire by rubbing sticks together, and with all the tools, we only need a match or a lighter to easily achieve the same effect as magic.]
[Rin Tohsaka: So, Master Chen Xuan, what exactly are you talking about? I don't understand at all.]
Completely confused by Chen Xuan's explanation, Rin Tohsaka asked a thought-provoking question.
[Chen Xuan: What I want to say is very simple. Since the goal is simply to recreate miracles, then the magic formula and circuits are no longer important. Furthermore, after improving the approach, the process of performing magic can be simplified. However, if it is only limited by the limits of the human body, then an external conversion device will suffice.]
[Chen Xuan: And what I have in my hand is the first generation of external magic unfolding device that I made. Of course, if you find it hard to remember, you can also call it a memory device, Gaia Memory Device.]
As Chen Xuan spoke, she fastened the silver and red belt around her waist. Then, as if it came to life, the belt automatically extended two silver straps that connected around Chen Xuan's waist.
“Cyclone”
"The Joker"
As Chen Xuan pressed the buttons on the two memory modules in her hand, two mechanical electronic sounds rang out, and the surfaces of the two memory modules flashed with green and purple light respectively. Then, Chen Xuan inserted them into the left and right slots of her belt.
"Henshen!!!!"
As Chen Xuan shouted, the silver-red belt around her waist...
Pushed aside and transformed into the shape of the letter W, green gales and purple electricity surged from the memory, instantly enveloping Chen Xuan. However, this did not last long. The next second, the gales and electricity surging from the memory suddenly dissipated, and Chen Xuan, who had just been enveloped by the gales and electricity, revealed a completely different appearance.
The left and right sides are mainly green and purple, respectively. At first glance, it is obvious that the left and right sides contain different powers. It looks like a light cavalryman, but it is an armored knight with a high sense of technology.
[Kanroji Mitsuri: Eh!!! !!! !!! ]
[Kanroji Mitsuri: W-W-W-This is Master Chen Xuan???]
In the Demon Slayer world, Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Chen Xuan, who had suddenly transformed into an armored knight, with a great deal of doubt in her heart.
Admittedly, as the Love Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Mitsuri Kanroji has seen many strange-looking demons and humans whose appearances have been altered. However, all of these humans were either infected by demons and turned into demons, or were subjected to the demons' strange blood demon arts, which forced them to change their appearance, and the process was extremely painful.
To put it bluntly, this kind of change is essentially forcibly infecting and mutating people, which is a disguised form of physical modification. So, the experience of being called a modification is naturally not very good.
But I've never seen anything like the Kanroji Mitsuri who takes a belt, inserts two rectangles into it, and then changes its shape by snapping it in half. Especially since Chen Xuan even said that this thing is science.
For Kanroji Mitsuri, who possesses an extraordinary system but is still living in the Taisho era, the most advanced and latest scientific products are nothing more than steam trains and semi-automatic rifles. The belt and memory that Chen Xuan was making on the spot, which can change shape, are already considered mythical artifacts to her. However, Chen Xuan calls them science, which completely overturns her worldview.
[Rin Tohsaka: Master Chen Xuan, Master Chen Xuan, is this what you look like after using scientific technology to extract world memories? Is it really possible to use magic in this form? What will happen to the conflict between mystery and science? After the mystery is explained by science, will these magic tricks still be able to be performed?]
Rin Tohsaka looked at Chen Xuan, who had transformed into Kamen Rider W, and quickly asked.
After all, compared to Kanroji Mitsuri, although science had made great progress in her era, it was still at a normal level of development. As the eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family, she was quite knowledgeable, but even so, the most advanced things she had ever seen were computers, networks, and satellites. She had never even thought of anything like the transformation equipment that Chen Xuan had made by hand, which was similar to the transformation equipment in science fiction novels and tokusatsu dramas.
Moreover, the most important principle in performing magic is to maintain mystery.
So, can Chen Xuan really succeed by using science to develop magic? You know, the development of magic is nothing more than the application of the rules of the world, but the power of the rules is limited. Every time more people use it, the power weakens. That's why magicians have the rule of maintaining mystery. Because when the mystery is deciphered and understood, then that rule can be used by everyone, and the power that the magician gains from applying that rule will be negligible or even non-existent.
Throughout human history, numerous scientists have deciphered many rules, making many magic tricks that were originally easy to perform cumbersome and inefficient. As a result, many magician families have lost their lineage. Admittedly, this is also due to the huge background factor of the irreversible decline of the divine age.
However, there is no doubt that the rise of science has had a huge impact on magicians. This is why magicians in the Type-Moon world, who are also scholars and respect the scientists in human history who made inventions, have always disliked science and don't like to deal with scientists. Their research directions may seem similar, but their core interests are completely at odds. This is also why Rin Tohsaka asked Chen Xuan these questions.
[Chen Xuan: Lin, you've got one thing wrong. The key to magic has always been reproduction. The reason magic was called magic in the past was because people in ancient times were ignorant and therefore regarded all the rules of distortion and reproduction as miracles and divine intervention. But the essence of magic is still the reproduction of rules.]
[Chen Xuan: The so-called rules are merely one of the elements and memories that constitute the world. Exercising the rules is simply reproducing the memories and history that constitute the world. Magic can do it, and so can science. The only difference is the ratio of energy expenditure to time consumption.]
[Chen Xuan: But whether it's mystery or science, they are merely means to an end. Since they are both means to achieve a goal, how can there be any conflict or impossibility? Rather, it is precisely because I have integrated the two that I am able to have my current stance.]
Chen Xuan spoke up in the group chat.
[Kanroji Mitsuri: Science is amazing!!!]
[Rin Tohsaka: Science is amazing!!!]
[Sakura Kinomoto: Science is amazing!!!]
[Nami: Science is amazing!!!]
Chapter 18 Young man, I'll give you a cheat code.
[Chen Xuan: Well, instead of talking about all this theory, let me demonstrate it to you.]
Chen Xuan glanced at her group members, who had once again turned into repeaters, and smiled helplessly.
Although he was quite willing to explain his thought process and reasoning to his group members.
However, considering the world my group members live in, it seems they really don't know anything about science when I talk to them about it, as if I'm listening to gibberish.
After all, the world where Kanroji Mitsuri lives, although it has a supernatural system, is still in the early days of the Industrial Revolution, and the most advanced scientific devices are probably still steam engines.
Although the technology in the Type-Moon world where Rin Tohsaka lives is already close to the 21st century, she is a traditional magician and an electronics idiot.
The world of Meng Wang Ying is probably the closest to Chen Xuan's top ten technological level, but I'm just a primary school student, so there's not much to say.
