I Pioneered Scientific Magic - Chapter 674

Chapter 674: The Power to Modify Rules and the Exposed Plot

When the Eternal Star reached its third perihelion, three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the first two years, Lynn focused on micro and dimensional studies. Now he could directly analyze and simulate basic particles at the quark level, and his control over the four fundamental forces had reached a new level.

In the last year, Lynn spent his time on the Arcane Divinity.

This was the foundation of his ascension to the Chief God, and the key to deciphering the world's rules. Both divine and magical arts are applications of the universe's laws, and what these laws themselves are, and how they are formed, is one of the ultimate questions of the universe.

Lynn naturally could not provide an answer now, but after touching upon a higher realm, he had vaguely grasped some edges, acquiring some ability to modify rules.

This power was undoubtedly terrifying. Once the universe's laws themselves were altered, both technology and magic would become completely ineffective!

To give a simple example, the direction of electromagnetic force follows the left-hand rule: if the left hand is extended flat, placed in a magnetic field with the magnetic flux lines perpendicular through the palm, and the fingers pointing in the direction of the current, the thumb points in the direction of the conductor's motion.

If Lynn reversed this rule, turning it into the right-hand rule, the warships of the Geometric Civilization, using magnetic fields to accelerate proton cannons for attacks, would end up blowing themselves up!

However, this modification was not omnipotent. First, it could only affect the area covered by his Divine Domain or a specific limited region. Second, it had to obey the law of conservation of energy.

Energy does not arise out of nothing but only transforms from one form to another, and this is true even for higher-dimensional sources like magical power.

While deep in thought, a message from the Magic Web pulled him away from his speculations and thoughts on the application of rules.

It was time to return to the Great Universe!

……

At the same time, in the Great Universe, within the 0600 galaxy.

Researchers were tensely conducting the final adjustments on a massive energy-state conversion device covering over ten thousand square kilometers, storing fifty percent of the antimatter elements in the entire star domain. Any small mistake could obliterate the entire planet and potentially affect other planets in the galaxy.

The testing and adjustments took seventeen atomic hours, and after confirming everything was normal, researcher Ita had ten thousand Geometric beings ready to undergo carbon-based life energy-state conversion.

The process would take about six atomic hours, and all the researchers waited anxiously. The experiment had not received permission from the Disc Council and was privately conducted with the tacit approval of leader Gerter.

If successful, they could use this achievement to persuade the Disc Council, becoming heroes driving a major leap forward for their civilization and possibly joining the ranks of the Disc leaders.

Failure could lead to charges and trials.

Heaven and hell were just a moment away.

But Ita deemed some risk necessary, knowing they weren't the only group secretly researching large-scale energy-state conversion.

Competition was intense.

Six atomic hours passed slowly under tense data monitoring. Seeing the final energy shaping stage without any errors, all the researchers breathed a sigh of relief.

"The results are out; everything is normal! Out of the first batch of ten thousand, a total of nine thousand five hundred and thirty-three completed the ascension. Our calculations were correct, with a success rate over ninety-five percent!" an assistant exclaimed excitedly.

This was undoubtedly a huge success, indicating that the plan to elevate the race's energy and ascend to higher-dimensional beings was feasible!

They could establish one or more giant energy-state conversion devices in every star domain. Within a hundred years, the entire civilization would transform, becoming a true energy-life civilization!

Chief researcher Ita was equally excited.

A ninety-five percent probability was high enough to be used directly, even making him want to undergo the transformation immediately.

As a researcher of carbon-based life energy-state conversion, Ita was a staunch supporter of ascension and was keen on undergoing transformation.

Three hundred years ago, the Geometric Civilization had thoroughly studied genetic modification of carbon-based life, with an upper limit and no room for further progress. They needed to explore new paths.

Moreover, the benefits of becoming an energy being were immense: nearly ten thousand years of lifespan, the ability to survive in space without a protective shield, and, most importantly, the mind's operational speed would no longer be limited by the physical body!

However, Ita, with his long lifespan and greater caution, was hesitant without absolute certainty, especially after achieving such a significant merit and the opportunity to become a Disc leader.

"First, let’s report this good news to the leader," Ita temporarily set aside the idea of immediate transformation and gave direct instructions.

At that moment, the laboratory door was flung open. A square researcher with chaotic light flashing around him rushed in, urgently reporting.

"Lord Ita, we've just captured the direction of the magical signal."

"How timely!" Already elated by the experiment's success, Ita was even happier.

It was indeed a double blessing!

Previously, while studying the properties of magic, Ita had discovered that when using magic to transform matter, some of it would automatically enter the Quantum Sea and disappear without a trace. They had tried many methods to counter this loss, to no avail.

Ita had always been curious about where this dissipated magic went when it flew to the Quantum Sea. Thus, related research had been ongoing.

Ita suspected that magic, like electrons, was a whole in higher dimensions and that part of it would be attracted back to its source when its form was changed.

The researcher who had rushed in urgently sent a message to Ita using a specific frequency of electromagnetic waves, interrupting his reverie.

"Lord Ita, something is wrong. We've traced the precise coordinates... It's about three hundred light-years southwest!"

"So close?" Ita was extremely surprised, then suddenly thought of something, his expression changing drastically.

Three hundred light-years southwest was the location of the star domain belonging to the Magic Empire!

Realizing this, Ita felt a chill run down his spine...
