Chapter 297 Classical Mathematical Theory Model: Infinitely Thin Lines

"If the cut is too thin, the two petals may remain stuck together after the cut."

"So after creating the cut, you need to take the cut part away with you to cause effective damage, right?"

After observing the different damage effects caused by the two attacks, Lin Zhenxi came to this conclusion.

Yukuli narrowed his eyes, shook his face up and down twice, and confirmed Lin Zhenxi's inference with a "Hmm~Q~" sound.

Although the correct conclusion was reached, this conclusion was based on something that can almost only exist in theory.

That is, a line.

There is no mass, no thickness, it is just a simple, infinitely thin line.

This kind of thing is simply impossible to exist in reality. It is an assumption under ideal conditions.

However, in the space channel, the boundary between the two worlds is indeed a line that only serves as a partition and essentially does not exist in any world.

Once Lin Zhenxi separated the two sets of spatial coordinate parameters, the boundary of the spatial channel became clear. At this point, the function describing the spatial channel's outline became a line pattern that existed only in an ideal state. It existed only as a barrier between the two worlds, not as a physical entity, and naturally, concepts like thickness and fineness did not exist.

So theoretically, the outline of a space channel is a line with infinitely small width.

Even molecules, atoms, and even the smallest particles have a diameter, but the boundaries of space channels are infinitely small.

Here we need to clarify a concept: what exactly is the macroscopic world that we humans see?

The world we see, after infinite subdivision, is made up of various atoms. Water contains water molecules, sand is silicon dioxide, metals can be elemental or compound, and humans are also made up of atoms such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, and calcium.

Are these atoms actually connected together?

No, what connects atoms together are chemical bonds, atomic energy, electromagnetic force, and strong interaction. The macroscopic world we see is actually composed of the fields formed by the interaction of these atoms, molecules, and various particles.

In other words, things that seem inseparable to us are actually quite empty at the microscopic level. The gaps between all particles are as large as those planets in space, which are so far away from each other that the edges are invisible.

Then, in this environment, an infinitely narrow line is drawn through the middle, what happens?

Nothing will happen, it can't touch anything, and naturally it can't cut anything.

So, if he wanted the cutting to happen, Lin Zhenxi had to make the line thicker, at least thick enough to cover all the atoms along the way.

This is also the reason why Teacher Patchouli insisted that Lin Zhenxi learn the space gate first before trying space cutting, because the essence of space cutting is actually a space gate that moves like a blade.

Matter passing through the space gate will be transported to other places. When the space gate becomes extremely thin and narrow but also very long and narrow, isn't it equivalent to an indestructible and extremely sharp knife?

Now that he understood that space cutting was essentially a fast-moving space gate, Lin Zhenxi's next step was to reshape the space gate so that it looked like a knife rather than a ring.

In fact, the expression function of a ring is very complicated, especially in three-dimensional space, including the length, width, height, XYZ, positive and negative directions, and the description of the movement trajectory. Calculating these is very daunting.

Otherwise, with Lin Zhenxi's mental strength now exceeding that of an average person by many times, it wouldn't take her several seconds to open a stable space gate. Even with the magical power of prayer, the space gate she had just mastered was still of no practical value.

If the space gate is linear, the expression is much simpler. Lin Zhenxi can use a line as the basis to construct a space-cutting space gate, and then increase the width of the gate, turning the originally infinitely thin line into a narrow rectangle. This space gate has the ability to cut through other materials without energy protection.

With a clear and specific idea, it became easy to realize the new magic through magic prayer. Lin Zhenxi easily completed the advancement from space gate to space cutting, and the magic consumption of the latter was even smaller than the former.

This was normal. After all, even if a space gate lasted only a short time, it still took time for someone to get through. This didn't happen with the space cut. Its duration was equal to the distance it traveled. After simplifying the function, Lin Zhenxi could make the space cut move forward at a much faster speed. This gave it an extremely fast speed, allowing it to complete its attack in a very short time and then disappear with the part swallowed by the space gate.

And because the spatial cutting is a rectangle with the same thickness at the top and bottom, Lin Zhenxi does not need to draw a circle to complete it. He only needs to wave the magic wand in a straight line and the spatial cutting can be formed.

Lin Zhenxi swung her wand horizontally, and a gray linear beam of light shot out from it, like a gray shadow streaking across the target rockery, splitting it in two. This time, the upper half of the rockery collapsed directly. Simultaneously, some flakes of rockery fell behind Lin Zhenxi, shattering to pieces. That was the exit from the spatial cut she had haphazardly created.

Looking at the smooth cross-section of the collapsed rockery, Lin Zhenxi knew that the magic had been successful.

Holding his wand, Lin Zhenxi recalled the feeling of using Space Slash. He immediately thought of Divine Blade Shadowless. Similar to Space Slash, Divine Blade Shadowless was also released through a slashing motion, and the effects seemed similar. Divine Blade Shadowless summoned an invisible, sharp blade, inflicting a massive, non-healing wound on its target. Space Slash, on the other hand, directly sliced ​​through objects without energy shields.

It seemed that Spatial Slice was more powerful. However, Divine Blade Shadowless had a mysterious bonus spell, capable of cutting through even energy shields. And Spatial Slice… while it also consumed spells, Lin Zhenxi didn't feel like a spell, at least not in the same way as the magic system Lin Zhenxi currently possessed.

Anyway, Spatial Slicer is more suitable for dealing with physically strong targets without energy shields, as it has infinite physical attack power. Meanwhile, Shadowless Divine Blade is all-powerful but has limited damage, and the damage it inflicts cannot be healed, so it can inflict a continuous bleeding debuff on the enemy.

It can be said that each has its pros and cons, but Lin Zhenxi feels that spatial cutting is more powerful. After all, this is something she has just learned.

New is always better than old. It is a bad habit for young people to get tired of the old and love the new. Only older people will cherish the old things from the past.

Although he had successfully unleashed the Space Slice spell, Lin Zhenxi felt this magic still had much more potential. Before Patchouli returned, Lin Zhenxi began to destroy the self-repairing rockery target over and over again. Now, with the blessing of the Dark Moon, Lin Zhenxi no longer needed to worry about mana consumption and could spend it freely. If he didn't seize the opportunity to practice more, it would be a waste.

Moreover, Lin Zhenxi also believed that space cutting should be a very suitable magic as her main means of attack. After all, among the enemies she encountered, only a very small number had energy shields, and most of them were strong and powerful. In the face of space cutting, no matter how high the hardness or flexibility was, it was meaningless because its cutting occurred at the atomic level.

Even against enemies with energy shields, spatial slicing wasn't completely useless. Lin Zhenxi wasn't the only one who could do it, and she wasn't completely helpless against energy shields. As long as the shield was broken or cracked, spatial slicing would be effective again.

The use of space cutting is even simpler than that of space gate. You just need to wave the magic wand and chop at the air. Lin Zhenxi quickly made good use of this simple but powerful magic. With horizontal, vertical, left-falling, right-falling, curved and hook strokes, he broke the poor rockery target into eighteen different shapes.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhenxi's control over her own magic power was still slightly insufficient. When she wanted to abandon her wand and try wandless casting, the gray line that cut through the space disappeared directly in front of her hand.

In other words, she had to rely on the amplification of the magic wand to successfully release the magic of space cutting.

Lin Zhenxi began to feel that her computing power was somewhat insufficient, and she began to imagine that it would be nice if she had an auxiliary brain specifically for computing, just like the intelligent magic devices in the world of elementary school magicians.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi had another option, which was to let the parallel consciousness change its job. She had six parallel consciousnesses, and she could easily allocate one to be responsible for auxiliary calculations.

Not even one, but several. Lin Zhenxi could have all the parallel consciousnesses, except for the eternally meditative Number Six, put down their current tasks and help her calculate the magic expression function, thus gaining an additional five times the computing power.

As a result, the research and information processing that parallel consciousnesses are responsible for on a daily basis will be suspended.

It didn't seem impossible. After all, she didn't have any urgent work on hand that needed the parallel consciousnesses to handle.

Lin Zhenxi tried it immediately and held an internal meeting to ask the parallel consciousnesses numbered one to five to stop their work and help her calculate the expression function of spatial cutting. She herself was responsible for releasing these spatial cuts with clear functions.

The speed at which she launched space cuts increased several times in an instant. The space cuts she launched were one after another, almost connected end to end, and the rockery target was cut into pieces by Lin Zhenxi's violent attack, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground.

In other words, in the Dark Moon City environment, one could squander magic power so recklessly. Although the magic power consumed by a single spatial slash wasn't much, it was consumed at a high frequency. Several times a second, each slash consumed over 2% of the magic power. Without the magic infusion provided by the Dark Moon, Lin Zhenxi wouldn't have enough magic power to last ten seconds.

It is powerful but consumes a lot of energy, which is acceptable.

There seems to be something wrong with Papa's knee. I think we need to take an X-ray to check it out.

Ah, little money is going to fly away again, so sad.

Give me some tickets~~
