Uplifting Journey

A quick glance on the computer screen almost made Risut, a vampire whose heart no longer pumps blood, break out in cold sweat——

Emotional Cheng Bin forbids me to suck biological blood, is it for a controlled experiment with vampires made in other places? Although doing so effectively maintained my sanity, but... I was still too naive.

But the tip of the iceberg of the power exposed behind Cheng Bin that he glimpsed at that glance made Risut unable to raise his emotions at all. The project is not bad

After making a few sharp turns in his mind, Risut cleared his throat. While observing Cheng Bin's expression, he repeated the question that the other party hadn't heard clearly before.

The doubts and wavering in Risut's heart stemmed from his brief battle with Diablo, and from the shock in his heart when he faced the terrifying ability of the Crimson King——

Looking into the future, distorting reality, and even tampering with the timeline editing ability of King Crimson in the past, it really challenges the three views of normal people.

Risut, who fought against him personally, was frantically thinking about countermeasures under the terrible pressure, but the deeper he recognized the ability of the Crimson King, the more desperate he felt in his heart—with his existing abilities and knowledge, even There is no chance of victory at all.

In this huge pressure and deep despair, Diablo's idealistic argument about the true power of the stand-in almost destroyed Risut's three views that Risut made great efforts to reshape under the guidance of Cheng Bin——

Is the electromagnetic interference ability developed by the substitute "metal product" combined with human scientific and technological knowledge adjusted and developed, really stronger than its original, almost void creation ability?

How long will it take for human technology to develop to touch the time domain of King Crimson? Is it really possible for something like the timeline, which only exists in human imagination, to be conquered by technology?

Without knowing why, metal products can create and control metals as they like, but now. Constrained by numerous frameworks, the ability to operate in accordance with known electromagnetic laws is this.

After listening to Risut's doubts, Cheng Bin, who was reviewing the results of the vampire's sunshine experiment on the testing instrument, turned around and looked at Lisut with surprise: "It's all at this stage, and you are still thinking about these things ? Haven’t you already talked about similar truths before? Have you learned it in vain?”

"No, I'm not questioning the path I've chosen, I'm just..." Risut sighed heavily, "...I'm just a little afraid—our research, which is full of restrictions and difficulties, can really surpass freedom Is it just imagination?"

——The difficulty of making an airplane from scratch is far beyond a person's imagination and belief that he can fly our way. Under such a dangerous environment, is there really a chance to make it through?

"Oh, I understand what you mean." Cheng Bin nodded slightly. After uploading the last part of the data, he turned most of his attention to Risut in front of him. After thinking for a while, he said, ". Risut, actually You got it wrong from the start——

"The real enemy of this road is the traveler himself. We are not moving forward to overcome other roads. We are moving forward to continuously dig deeper into ourselves and reality. Give an example."

Pulling out two sheets of A4 paper from which data was printed on one side of the table, Cheng Bin casually picked up a pen, and stood there with the paper in one hand and the pen in another, drawing two black and white pictures with inhuman stability and speed amidst faint ripples. draw it.

"From a certain point of view, taking the path of idealism and imagination does not contradict what we are doing now. Come on, Risut, look at these two paintings—"

Risut stepped forward to receive the two pieces of paper handed over by Cheng Bin. He looked carefully and found that the two pieces of paper were full-body portraits of women, which were very simple.

There is a big difference in the style of the two paintings. Risut, who doesn't know much about these, can only tell that one of them seems to be more ancient, while the other has the feeling of a realistic sketch

The people in these two paintings have nothing in common except that their appearance is very similar to that of their sparsely clothed clothes.

After looking at it for a long time, Risut raised his head and looked at Cheng Bin with a puzzled expression on his face: "What's wrong with these two paintings?"

Cheng Bin tapped the paper that Risut was holding in both hands with a pen, and said with a smile, "Art is idealistic, right? Let me use this as an example—which painting do you think is more beautiful and has more advanced painting skills?"

Risut glanced at the painting. As a modern person, he was naturally not too interested in the awkward ancient style of painting on his left hand, so after observing it, he raised his right hand and said, "This one? ?”

Leaving aside the invisible connotations of the painting, Risut feels that the painting on the left is far less pleasing to the eye than the one on the right in terms of posture, face, outline of the body, hands and feet, and it is uncomfortable no matter how you look at it.

After describing his feelings, Risut saw Cheng Bin spread his hands and said, "Then why do you hesitate?"

"Huh?" Risut blinked, confused.

After smiling, Cheng Bin explained: "The only difference between the two paintings lies in the use of knowledge of human anatomy in the composition - the distribution of muscles, texture, and bone structure. More realistic paintings, more complex skills, all need this kind of inner knowledge to support

"Art, beauty, these things are also very close to sensibility and idealism, right? But judging from the historical trajectory of human civilization, this kind of artwork often evolves following the progress of human science and technology. A person's art appreciation level and his vision There is a strong link with the level of knowledge."

Risut was even more at a loss: "Does this have anything to do with the issues we discussed before?"

"Did I not understand enough?" Cheng Bin slapped Risut's shoulder heavily, emphasizing that he hated iron and steel, "Vision! Vision! Idealistic imagination is not without limits! Even if you imagine If you can destroy a planet with one blow, you must first know what a planet is, right?

"Didn't the correlation experiment between stand-in ability and noumenon cognition already explain everything? Even if you have the ability to get what you want, you have to understand what you want before doing something, right?"

Risut was stunned, the substituting ability of the metal product operated instinctively, his gaze surpassed the limit of human beings, and he moved towards a wider and deeper place, and fed back countless information to his eyes through electromagnetic energy.

This is a wonderful perspective that ordinary people cannot witness or even imagine.

Looking at Risut, who has unfolded his abilities and realized something, Cheng Bin nodded with a teachable expression on his face: "Our way forward is essentially to deeply understand the 'self', and at the same time continue to Expand the channels of external cognition of "self" and see more unknown

"The same is the imagination. Ordinary people will never be able to conceive a complete Rubik's Cube in their minds, and can only see a two-dimensional screenshot of the Rubik's Cube at most, but your double can allow you to do this. When you need to understand the Rubik's Cube Who will appear stronger when it comes to doing something?

"The superficial strength doesn't matter at all. This kind of way to fundamentally expand one's horizon is the most important. So, do you understand why there are so many magical doubles, but I am always more interested in you? You can judge according to your opinion. There are quite a few people who know how to change the ability of a substitute, but it is very rare to be able to match the perception of the feedback of a substitute to your level, let alone your ability to directly point to electromagnetic force."

Risut, who nodded silently, felt inexplicably cold when he heard the word "interested", and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. But in the next moment, he put aside this discomfort, raised his vigilance as a killer, and turned around abruptly. He looked towards the door of the laboratory.

There was nothing unusual about the closed door, but the applause from behind the next moment made Risut realize that his previous sense of crisis was not an illusion——

"Ouch--" "Pa--pa--"

Jotaro Kujo, who appeared in the closed laboratory at some time, applauded lightly. He glanced at Polnareff lying on the ground at his feet with a look of disgust, and then glanced at A window separated by layers of heavy curtains.

The firmly closed window, together with the curtain covering it, opened instantly in the expanding air without warning, and the warm sunlight and fresh air entered the room directly, causing Risut, who turned around, to back away a few times in shock. Step, to prevent your own vampire body from being killed by the sun.

Jotaro, who is quite familiar with the various characteristics of vampires, sized up Risut for a while, then turned his eyes to the side, stared at Cheng Bin who was sitting by the experimental table, and sighed: "I heard your words from a long distance away. It brings back a lot of memories for me.”

In terms of the tight connection between the avatar and the body's senses, Platinum Star is also the top. Jotaro did not experience this kind of training at the beginning, but no matter how strong the senses of Platinum Star are, it is based on the human model. The product that can touch the magnetic field lines is completely different.

After shaking his head, Jotaro glanced at Polnareff who had recovered and stood up, then turned his head to look at Cheng Bin and asked curiously, "Are you dead?"
