Chapter 597: Chapter 513: Do you know how many galaxies there are in the universe?
“Please forgive our previous offense, and thank you for your help,” Harrov coughed lightly and spoke, easing the slightly awkward atmosphere at the scene.
“No harm done. Being able to solve the issues with the Empire and the Church has always been our long-cherished wish,” Bo’er said with a smile.
“I have another question. What exactly is that Divine Power? Why can it not even be destroyed by the force of a nuclear explosion?” Aurora asked with a serious expression.
“Only a more microscopic force can withstand a nuclear explosion!” Albert Einstein answered.
Lynn had once witnessed the peculiarities of that Divine Power and was naturally able to answer this question to a certain extent.
“Quantum?” Vittorio murmured the term created by Lynn, recalling the double-slit experiment they had witnessed that morning, which could only be described as bizarre.
He had been considering whether to put off exploring the microscopic realm, but now it seemed not only should they not take it slowly, but they must also strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible, preferably finding a way to destroy the Divine Power.
“Who then killed that powerful Moon Goddess?” Harrov was even more puzzled by this question.
Eira had spent centuries ruling this continent to gather faith, presumably to seize control of the Divine Power and replace Moon Goddess Diana.
The power of the opponent was evident, definitely much stronger than Eira, whom they had faced before.
Yet, such a powerful entity was killed, which caused a hint of fear to arise within Harrov’s heart.
“Did the person who killed her also come from beyond the Space-Time Gate?” Vittorio asked urgently.
“We were not yet wizards when Moon Goddess Diana died, so our understanding is very limited. We only know that her death was very sudden, and the collapse of the church came within a few short years after those followers lost the protection of the Divine Power,” Bo’er replied, based on the scant information obtained from the books.
However, he knew very well that they needed to say something different to distinguish their information from what the council obtained from the Holy City’s books, to increase credibility.
Therefore, Isaac Newton took over the conversation. “If you say that the being who killed her came from the other side of the Space-Time Gate, it may not necessarily be the case. The universe we inhabit is not as simple as you think.”
Vittorio looked confusedly at the group, not quite understanding their meaning.
Isaac Newton did not immediately intend to explain but turned to Aurora. “I hear you have a significant understanding of astronomy?”
“I only have some insights,” Aurora shook her head. With a vast microcosm , it was clear that Isaac and the others’ knowledge of the cosmos was far beyond her own. She dared not use the word “understand” so easily in front of them.
“Then do you know how many galaxies there are in the universe? And among these galaxies, how many planets are there like the Eternal Star?” Isaac Newton continued to ask.
Aurora furrowed her brows; she had not carefully counted them because the myriad stars are simply too numerous, like droplets in a lake, impossible to count.
“Are you saying that every galaxy we see could potentially contain humans?” Vittorio quickly grasped the hidden meaning in the other party’s words.
“It could also possibly be non-humans,” Isaac Newton stated.
“Life evolution is actually not that easy. According to observations, most celestial bodies are barren and shouldn’t have conditions for life to emerge.”
“But there are far too many stars. Just among those we can see, there are trillions upon trillions. Even if only one in a million, or even one in ten million, has life, there could be hundreds of billions of civilizations in the universe!”
Hundreds of billions of civilizations, this enormously indescribable number, caused a tremor in Vittorio and Aurora’s minds.
Harrov also wore an astonished expression, having never considered that the threat would come from above, from the endless starry sky.
“But, those stars should be very distant from us,” Aurora said hesitantly, even the Sun that was closest and visible to the naked eye was billions of kilometers away.
“In the universe, distance is sometimes not an issue,” Isaac Newton said with a smile.
Aurora immediately fell silent, the Space-Time Gates erected across this continent springing to his mind.
After successfully diverting everyone’s thoughts with probability theory to avoid further questions about the War of Faith, Lynn secretly had the smart brain start to interrupt the magic power supply here.
The bright stars in the microcosmos began to dim, and Harrov and the others were abruptly roused from their contemplation of cosmic civilizations.
Those who had entered here before understood what this meant.
“It seems today’s discussion must end here,” Bo’er said with a sigh.
Harrov and the others also felt regretful, having many more questions they wanted answers to from Bo’er and the others, unfortunately, there was no longer enough time.
About a dozen seconds later, the light from an exploding star had completely dissipated and the surrounding darkness once again enveloped them; the five individuals felt this repelling force and voluntarily severed their connection with the Magic Domain.
“It’s finally over…” In the capital, within the Yeita School’s premises, Lynn removed the ring of secret magic from his hand and slowly exhaled with relief.
Although the Secret Magic Society had resolved many problems since its establishment, it indeed also brought no small amount of trouble, causing a risk of exposure if not handled carefully.
Deceiving Harrov and the others was not an easy task; had it not been for him presenting a substantial amount of knowledge far beyond his own abilities in reality, he would likely have been suspected and exposed long ago.
Fortunately, after this occasion, most troubles had been resolved, and the whereabouts of the legends within the Secret Magic Society were explained.
Lynn carefully considered any oversights in his own words, feeling that most of them should be convincingly justified; the most problematic issue might be the cause of the Moon Goddess Diana’s death.
Anyway, according to probability, there certainly are extraterrestrials. As for whether they did it, who knows?
He had only said it was a possibility!
As for whether in the future the council might penetrate the Space-Time Gate and someone would want to trace the whereabouts of Bo’er and the others… that was events of several hundred years past, and in such a lengthy time span, anything could happen, and brushing it off should be quite easy.
At this thought, Lynn relaxed, then picked up the research notes on the table, which bore the drawing of a massive signal tower.
This was the prototype of the magic base station!
To realize the mass production of wizards, this contraption and quantum computing technology had to be developed.
As Lynn was pondering how to refine it, the entire kingdom was already in an uproar over the proposed quantum wave-particle duality and probability wave….
