Chapter 271: Standing On The Shoulders of Giants To Comprehend The Nomological Laws
Deep in s.p.a.ce,
Huge beasts twisted their bodies and rapidly shuttled through the spatial turbulence.
Aatrox was at the very front.
He was the leader of this team from the Beast Taming Corps.
As they got closer and closer to the target, the galaxy map on the Zerg tracker became clearer and clearer.
At this moment, he discovered something unusual.
"This is…" Aatrox opened his eyes wide and stared at a planet on the map very seriously.
According to the labels on the map, it was a planet with signs of life.
He thought that the Lomerians would escape when their s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p started moving on the map.
From the looks of it, they should have gone to this planet.
Aatrox didn"t give it much thought because this s.p.a.ce field was in a barren area.
He thought that even if there was life, the level of civilization wouldn"t be too complex.
And, even if it was an advanced civilization, it could not hurt them.
This time, he was determined to get his way. He would kill anyone who stood in his path.
…
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
In the blink of an eye, half a month pa.s.sed.
Within the Purple Bamboo Forest, Qin Chuan sat with his five centers facing the sky, holding a pitch-black stone in his palm. He was still, just like a statue.
With the [Stone of Nomological Laws], he had already comprehended the [Law of Gravity].
But he was still far from mastering it.
Comprehending laws was equivalent to having the qualifications to use them.
If he wanted to master it, he would have to continue working hard.
It was as if Qin Chuan was given the right to play a certain game. But, he didn"t know how to start playing, let alone how to play it.
Qin Chuan wanted to break out from this state, but no matter how hard he tried, he had no progress.
He knew very well that the more this was the case, the more he couldn"t be impatient. Compared to the others, he was much more outstanding.
Even if other people had the [Stone of Law], it would be very difficult for them to comprehend the nomological laws within half a month.
But Qin Chuan did it.
However, he was still limited to comprehension. If he wanted to grasp it, Qin Chuan speculated that it would take at least half a year.
Previously, he had thought that he had a chance of grasping it. Looking back on it now, he knew he was grasping at loose straws.
Something as profound as the nomological laws required more than just a brain.
Furthermore, this was the [Law of Gravity], a high-level law. It was even more difficult than other laws.
Right now, Qin Chuan didn"t have much time left.
He didn"t have any extravagant hopes of grasping it, but he couldn"t give up, so he chose to continue working on it.
Three days pa.s.sed.
Qin Chuan still hadn"t made any progress. Although the law fluctuations around him were very strong, he was still lacking something.
As Archimedes had said, he could move the earth with a lever and fulcrum.
Right now, Qin Chuan was missing a fulcrum.
He felt that as long as he found this fulcrum, he would be able to open the door to the [Law of Gravity].
However, he only had two days left.
Qin Chuan felt that even if he continued to study it, nothing would change.
Therefore, he stopped meditating and pondered why that was the case.
He believed that he was quite talented.
Even though he didn"t have a Soul, he had the cultivation insights of his predecessors, so his comprehension was definitely not bad.
Qin Chuan reflected.
There was definitely no problem with his comprehension ability, so he must have gone in the wrong direction.
He thought that since he had managed to comprehend the law in such a short period of time if he continued to do so, he would definitely be able to grasp it.
However, after so many days, his progress remained stagnant.
If he continued to follow his original path, he would succeed, but it would require a lot of time.
However, if he changed his direction, he might discover something unexpected.
Since there wasn"t enough time, he might as well try.
He thought of a term called [Backtrack], which was to search for the source.
Qin Chuan had comprehended the [Law of Gravity]. Since he wanted to trace the source, he first had to know how gravity was produced.
This question wasn"t difficult for Qin Chuan.
Anyone who went through nine years of compulsory education knew the answer.
There was a pa.s.sage written in Qin Chuan"s book.
"The force that objects receive due to Earth"s attraction is called gravity."
Now that he had learned how gravity was produced, he thought of a great scientist.
Newton.
Newton was a master of mechanics. He discovered the laws of gravity and proposed three basic laws.
Qin Chuan believed that understanding these laws would definitely be of great help to master the [Law of Gravity].
Other than Newton, Qin Chuan also thought of another great scientist.
Einstein.
Einstein was one of the smartest people on the planet.
Together with quantum mechanics, his theory of relativity was the two cornerstones of modern physics.
Qin Chuan didn"t understand the theory of relativity, but he knew that it involved gravity.
Therefore, he felt that if he grasped the knowledge of these two great men, then grasping the [Law of Gravity] would not be difficult at all.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the Merchant Shop and exchanged for all the works of these two great people.
The items in the Merchant Shop were all-encompa.s.sing. There was everything that one could think of. There were also things that one could not think of.
Newton and Einstein"s works were considered literature works in the Merchant Shop. They didn"t cost much.
One book only required 1 point.
If he exchanged all of them, he wouldn"t even need to spend ten points.
Qin Chuan picked up the thick book and started to study it seriously.
For immortal cultivators, reading was very simple. They could read ten lines at a glance and had a photographic memory. It was like quantum speed reading.
No matter how thick the book was, it would only take a few minutes to memorize all the content.
However, to Qin Chuan, it wasn"t enough to just memorize the content. The most important thing was to understand it thoroughly.
Qin Chuan discovered that within the contents, there were many points of knowledge that he had to obtain from other sources.
In order to find out the sources and figure everything out, he exchanged the books related to these knowledge points from the Merchant Shop.
After getting these books, he realized that there were more knowledge points that weren"t explained in these books and had to be obtained from other books.
This was like an infinite matryoshka doll, neverending. It stunned Qin Chuan.
After exchanging for tens of thousands of books, he finally connected all the knowledge points together.
Newton once said, "If I have seen farther than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
The birth of theories and technology was not something that could be done by one person. It gathered the wisdom of many people.
After Qin Chuan collected all the information, a brand new door opened for him.
He swam proudly in the sea of knowledge.
Gradually, he found the fulcrum that opened the door to nomological laws.
Just like that, Qin Chuan opened this door.
In an instant, a large number of [Stone of Nomological Laws] appeared in his palm, emitting large amounts of power of laws.
The power of nomological laws continuously surged into Qin Chuan"s body.
For some reason, Qin Chuan"s entire body started to distort before he disappeared.
Huang Huang, who was guarding him, was instantly stunned.
???
What the h.e.l.l?
Where was he?
…
At the same time, the Beast Taming Corps had already arrived in the s.p.a.ce field of this planet.
