As magic plays an increasing role in China's scientific research system, the resources at the disposal of the Bureau of Anomalies have also skyrocketed.

After exchanging biological storage technology, the mages of China learned how to reconstruct microscopic particles through magic.

Since then, top scientists have naturally associated it with military materials.

With the participation of mages, China has made rapid progress in the research and development of coating materials for stealth aircraft.

Huaguo has prepared a new CI/CF magnetic dielectric composite material with a three-dimensional network structure through carbonization and vacuum impregnation.

At the same time, the 3D mesh structure provides clear conductive paths and controlled conductivity-temperature characteristics to optimize dielectric losses.

Moreover, this structure also causes structural magnetic loss through induced current to delay the attenuation of magnetic loss at high temperatures.

This stable high-temperature microwave absorbing material benefits from the coordinated regulation of dielectric loss and magnetic loss.

It shows ultra-stable wide EAB with a thickness of only 0.05mm, a maximum EAB of 8.48 GHz and a minimum EAB of 8.32 GHz in the temperature range of 298-573 K.

At the same time, the gradient refractive index fluoropolymer anti-reflective coating is combined with the composite material to create a composite invisible material with a 1+1 greater than 2 effect.

According to China's internal estimates, the stealth effect of this material is better than that of the RQ-180 installed by Amerikan.

Along with this, the resources at the disposal of the Bureau of Anomalies are not only material resources and human resources, but also administrative resources.

An ordinary researcher like Dong Wenxu under the Huaguo Academy of Agricultural Sciences was transferred from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to the Bureau of Abnormalities with a single transfer order.

Zheng Li knew that all his remarks, expressions, and mental activities would be observed and reported by the man in front of him.

He needs a character that fits Zheng Li's identity.

Zheng Li remained calm on the surface: "What do I need to do."

"What's the benefit?"

Dong Wenxu was surprised by Zheng Li's calmness. He went to invite other Chinese scientists several times.

Zheng Li is the calmest person he has ever seen after hearing magic.

"Magic requires human brain activity to cast spells."

"You are the top expert in the field of brain-computer connection in China and one of the top experts in brain science."

Kechuang Bio-Singapore Research Center has published several papers on brain science in mainstream international journals, and Zheng Li has signed all of them.

"We hope to explore whether mages can achieve spellcasting effects in the virtual world through brain-computer connection."

"What's more important is to explore the nature of the world."

"The existence of magic makes some people doubt the nature of the world."

"Conjectures about the brain in a vat are rampant. Another big topic we asked you to do is to verify the brain in a vat hypothesis."

Hilary Putnam puts it in Reason, Truth, and History:

The general meaning is that people will live in a virtual world. Everything you feel is a brain nerve signal converted by a computer, which is virtual.

Originally Putnam's argument was simply an attack on the possibility of global skepticism implied by metaphysical realism.

He defines metaphysical realism as the view that "...the world consists of a number of fixed, thought-independent objects. There is only one true and complete description of "the world as it is." Truth involves words or thoughts

A certain correspondence between symbols and collections of things.”

This interpretation advances the idea that, for metaphysical realists, truth is not reducible to epistemic concepts but rather involves the nature of mind-independent reality.

This characterization finds precise targets among those scientific materialists who believe in a "ready-made" scientific world independent of human classification and conceptualization.

Later, this concept was used by science fiction writers and became a symbol of anti-authority.

After magic appeared in the public eye, the number of ordinary people who were skeptical of anything increased rapidly.

The idea of ​​a brain in a vat has received renewed attention, and it is not necessarily just the fantasy of science fiction writers.

Zheng Li instantly understood: “By simulating the neural signals received by the brain, we will explore whether the brain can completely rely on neural signals to perceive everything in the real world?”

"Are the two signals consistent?"

Dong Wenxu nodded and said: "Yes."

Zheng Li refused directly: "It's unrealistic. Kechuang Biotech's technology can't do this. We can't even convert electrical signals into brain nerve signals."

Dong Wenxu: "It is because science and technology cannot do it now, so it needs to cooperate with us and needs the scientific research power controlled by the Chinese government."

"While studying the two topics of brains in a vat and whether magic can exist in the virtual world, virtual reality is just the product of this process."

"Mr. Zheng, Kechuang Biotech will have the right to use the virtual reality technology patent."

Zheng Li continued to ask: "There is magic, it sounds like it must be a secret base."

"I can't stay in a secret base every day and have no contact with the outside world."

Dong Wenxu was not surprised: "Mr. Zheng, you can stay in your company's research center."

"We maintain regular communication, and you will be responsible for research management and task allocation throughout the entire process. We will have someone remotely cooperate with your work."

"As for magic-related experiments, you may need to come to the base to do them, but this depends on your wishes."

"You can come here. After you have enough understanding of magic and magic brain, you can design experiments remotely and let the researchers implement them."

"We will encrypt the experimental data and experimental reports and send them to you."

Zheng Li: "I need to think about it."

"I usually stay in the Lion City. If I'm in the Lion City, I guess it's not convenient for Chinese mages to go abroad, right?"

Personnel with this level of confidentiality would not be allowed to go abroad without even thinking.

Dong Wenxu: "Yes, so you need to stay in the country, at least until the project is completed."

“But where in the country you want to stay is completely up to you.”

"For experiments involving the personal participation of mages, you can come to our research base."

Most of the core research centers of the Bureau of Abnormalities are located in the southwest border.

In other words, China's long-standing tradition is that really important research institutes are rarely located in coastal areas.

Except for research institutes involving the navy.

Zheng Li shook his head: "Forget it."

"I don't really like this feeling of being restrained."

"And I can get magi on my own."

Dong Wenxu explained: "Mr. Zheng, you may have misunderstood. This is not a restraint, but a kind of protection."

"If magic can be partially reproduced in the virtual world, the value of brain-computer connection is far beyond what the outside world imagines."

"Even if you are in the Lion City, it will be difficult for us to protect you."

"We also believe you can get magi, but it's more dangerous."

"According to our intelligence in Southeast Asia, even the Lion City officials have not obtained a magi."

"And if you obtain magi by yourself, you will definitely be coveted by the Lion City officials."

"If the subsequent brain-computer connection can fully prove its value, Chinese officials may even give you the right to use a magi."

Zheng Li doesn't have much affection for China, but compared to Amerikan, China has a much lower bottom line.

Zheng Li: "What you said is too false, and based on your status, I can't believe the promise you made to me."

"Can you understand? You are just an ordinary clerk, and the promises you gave me were too much in words."

"I will consider it, but I need someone more convincing to talk to me later."

Dong Wenxu nodded and said: "Mr. Zheng, I can completely understand."

"I'm just here to convey the content of the cooperation we hope to achieve. The final cooperation will definitely be approached by higher-level people."

"In addition, as a person, I very much hope that you can make more contributions to the country."

After finishing speaking, Dong Wenxu stood up and bowed deeply to Zheng Li.

The emergence of magic has calmed down the originally boiling situation in the world, but this is just a warm-up for the next boiling point.

The next turmoil will be more intense than this one.

Things move in a spiral.

Magic can only cool down the situation, but cannot completely reverse the situation.

Just like when the stock market is in a bear market, any good news will only bring about a rebound but not a reversal.

Countries around the world have increased investment in science and technology, and China’s official think tanks have also made their own deductions.

Magic will bring rapid development of science and technology, and with it, there will be no need for so many industrial people.

In other words, after breakthroughs in nuclear fusion and primary artificial intelligence technology are achieved, Germany's Industry 3.0 and the intelligent manufacturing that China calls can be fully realized.

In the future, there will be no need for such a large manufacturing population, and China's status as the world's factory will no longer exist.

If China cannot complete technological upgrades before its technological development reaches this point, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Therefore, everyone who knows the inside story has a very strong sense of urgency.
