The Economics of Prophecy

"The first, of course, is the analysis of the Magic Guide. How do you achieve compatibility between magic efficiency and magicians and magic props?"

"I don't need to be told. Well, that's not a glimmer."

Fulsey made a difficult face. That's right, the Empire has already dropped one of the kingdom's major cities.

"I have a tip. First of all, I've copied the pattern of the broken castle hammer used by the Empire, and this is the Imperial Magic Program... which should be a reference for the procedure, not the one. The real thing should arrive nearby."

I gave Meer a copy of the paper that appeared on the surface of the broken castle hammer used by the Legion of Horse Dragons.

"This broken castle hammer was spiralling like a giant warcraft and gaining more power. In other words, this pattern should incorporate a meaning that creates a helix."

This pattern is called a cipher that encodes a spiral formula.

"I see, if that's what it takes, it's a lot different"

Fulsey and Noel nodded. Coupled with Meer's mathematical abilities, would these two do it?

"Likewise, it is the reins used by the Legion of Horse Dragons. Isn't this a kind of magic prop, too?

I took out five leather guidelines that Craig gave me. Fulsey looked at it so closely that the hole was empty.

"Sounds like a similar format to the earlier castle hammer. Probably not a magic trick. Well, there were over two hundred horse dragon riders."

Fulsey nodded. This is an interface tip for many humans to use in common.

"There are numbers, so we can look them up in a destructive way. With regard to the nature of the dye in the pattern, Vinaldia would also like to help."

Vinaldia, who knows the dye, might find out something.

"I think not only the format of the circuit, but also the nature of the material that makes the circuit, would be a hint about magic efficiency."

"Well, for example, magic gold passes through magic a lot, but it's too much to pass through and it's hard to control it in detail. That's why so much magic is needed to process magic gold."

Noel said. I see. Then there's another thing I want... That's still early. Because if my project doesn't work, it doesn't make sense.

"That's important. Magic efficiency is important to gauge the ability to sustain war over there."

No matter how efficient it is, there is no doubt in itself that the Empire uses massive amounts of demonic crystals for this war. It is decisively important to know how many long wars are possible in a kingdom that does not produce demonic crystals. Imagine Japan in World War II and you'll see.

"Senior Leonardo has a favor to ask, too"

"Ah, oh. Say it."

"Yes, I want the Chancellor to make an estimate of the demonic crystal production capacity over there from his previous trade in demonic crystals with the Empire. Of course, you won't know the exact numbers, as the Empire tried to narrow the deal for Demonic Crystals before the war. But unlike now, if you can't afford more than a decade old data, you can tell some things."

"Okay. Father, tell His Excellency the Chancellor so."

We can now proceed with the analysis of the quality and quantity of the Imperial guidance. No matter how good a weapon, Zeroshen, can be developed, as Japan did in World War II, war cannot continue without the resources and fuel to make the weapon.

Well, in this case, it's a resource country over there.

"What about the Lord?"

"I'm going to do an analysis of the soil I took from the red forest."

I saw the lab equipment on the table. More than ten types of glazing and metal utensils. In the original world, chalet, test tube, etc. We have a lot more like it than we thought, but in order to achieve what we're trying to do, we'll probably need trial and error.

"I understand the magic guiding formula, the analysis of the magic guiding formation. But what good is dirt?

Noel tilted his neck.

"I wonder if it's close to finding a substance that responds to magic. Look, is it easy to tell when I say I'm gonna look for something like the black dye that's covering this room?

"Like I said before, can you find something like that so conveniently? The soil itself did not respond to the antenna in any way, and if anything happens to that soil, it will be very little."

"There's a very small way to find it."

Screening for useful substances in the language of previous life. Although the method used mainly to find antibiotics and anticancer drugs. In this case, the search for a new catalyst will be close.

Let's say the Earth has moved to a magical different world. There are two biological species that adapt to magic first. It is human and bacterial.

The reason is simple, common, and fast learning.

Bacteria are first and foremost numerous, and generations change overwhelmingly fast. These two elements are very important in a learning device that is common to life: DNA. Individuals with genes that randomly give birth to different types of offspring and adapt slightly to magic become advantageous in the energy acquisition competition. Naturally, it is easier to leave many offspring behind and to have offspring from among them that are even more suitable for magic. Later its repetition.

Evolution, natural elimination, is lifelong learning. It's like calculating what kind of DNA lines are superior in an environment.

Now, humans are close to the worst in the sense of learning by DNA. But it has a learning device with a different principle: brain and letters. It is an overwhelmingly flexible and fast learning that does not rely on generational shifts or mutations, and can be elevated by the combination and accumulation of the knowledge generated.

Let's go back to this world from a tentative story. The fundamentals are the same, but the length of the learning period is added. There is no doubt that several shifts have taken place from Earth to this world. In that case, bacteria could have come here billions of years ago at the longest. Dinosaurs are in 100 to 10 million years. Humanity, on the other hand, is 100,000 years at best.

What I'm about to do is try to borrow bacterial learning outcomes using the ability to learn "cheats" called intelligence.

The future is most difficult. I've learned the overview in venture business and intellectual property classes, and I've done brief experiments in college student experiments. I have also been given a tour of the compound bank thanks to the advisory position of a company that my mentor in my previous life said so.

Tools, raw materials and methods of operation (Materials & Methods) are important. Naturally, I don't sell experimental kits, so I have to prepare everything myself. Even if I say so myself, I'm counting on people.

"Noel. Did you make what you were asking for?

"... a pipette. I hate to call this a pipette, but it's done."

Noel took out a laser-gun-shaped tool that was going to appear in an old SF comic book. The part of the core has a cylinder and screw with demonic conductive gold. In addition, there are ten suction openings made of magic gold. It was called a micropipette in a previous life.

I've heard in biology labs that even doctorate holders before this are cursed items of turning into slaves.

"He wants to measure small quantities strictly. Your unscrupulous order made me struggle. [M] The first thing I did was I made it thin with magic gold so I could suck out a small amount, and then I could adjust the subtle amount with the screws. I can't help but squeeze my eyes."

"It really helps."

Next to the screw is carved up to a scale corresponding to the rpm. The more accurate you can handle a small amount, the more efficient your screening will jump.

"Well, what are we gonna do with this?"

I let my eyes shine like the elementary school student Fulsey saw the model gun. One way or another, it's a water cannon.

"We take out organisms adapted to magic, predicted to live in red forest soil. Do I make sense when I say invisibly small, all kinds of mucus"

"Well, by way of example, you've got a story you've never seen or heard."

Fulsey's eyes narrowed so much that he was coming and going between the horse dragon's reins and the pipette.

"It'll take a while, but you'll actually see. I don't want to inadvertently open the red forest samples, so I'll start with garden soil."

I took out the soil in the bottle. If you do poorly in this, it's more than humans in this world, definitely more than the number of humans in this world, with bacteria and mold companions living there.

"How do you treat an invisibly small mucus like that? I can't do that pipette."

"That's why it's so creative. By the way, when will the laboratory be completed?

"I hear about the next ten days or so"

I looked out the window happy as Fulsey rubbed her chin beard. Leonardo let his eyes swim. How much did you spend?

"I let you make an oven and ice room out of that confectioner's son's legend, as the Lord wishes. He asked me if I'd do it at the restaurant."

Was it more than half my fault? The smile on Prla's face I saw earlier may have been a drag.

"So you're ten days early..."

All right, in the meantime, let's practice experimental manipulation and check the instruments.

I opened the pan I was putting down from the fire. A good smell spread to the curator's office. There are two round glass vessels in the pan like a chalet. Inside the chalet is amber jelly. It's what I asked Dargan to make.

Touch the lid to make sure it is cool. I swayed gently to make sure it was solidified. Move the lid onto the table so that it does not shift.

"Smells good, but a new dish?

Noel said the same thing about Dalgan. Well, I know you're a little short of salt, but there's probably nothing you can't eat and eat.

"It's not human, it's extremely small mucus food. On top of this, increase the mucus until it's visible."

Simply put, it's a simmering dust with gelatin, gravy and sugar added to the blood. In fact, it is simmered to the rind and dried to preserve. It's so laborious. Probably the most expensive soup in the world.

When I came to this room, I cut about four slices of that dry simmering dust, put each in the chalet, and then poured water. Later, it was heated back in a pan soaked in water.

Now how do I explain it?

"The scale is completely different though. Think of this jelly, the medium of gravy, as a demonic vein where the empire sowed the spores of the mucus. Each Mucus is small and invisible, but if you increase it in large quantities, you can see it in people's eyes."

Mucus is eukaryotic, precisely because it's a mucus, and bacteria are prokaryotes, though.

"Hmmm..." "... it's not uncommon that what Vinder is saying is incomprehensible."

They're both twisting their heads. There's no microbial concept here. Not only is it invisibly small, but I don't care to explain in words that if you suck at division, it doubles in 20 minutes.

"Well, the first preliminary experiment will take some time, so the curators need to move forward with the magic team."

I opened one lid in two chalets and said: That's all I do first.
