This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 59 - 51: High-End Combat Power Is Also the No. 1 Productivity
Chapter 59: Chapter 51: High-End Combat Power Is Also the No. 1 Productivity
A medium-sized paper mill covering several hundred square meters was completed.
As for the roof, it was simpler. Ove once again used the same method to create a factory with an otherworldly style.
"I can only manage this step; you’ll need to hire an [Architect] to inscribe ’durability’ and ’ventilation’ runes, and a [Secret Text Master] to depict protective and concealing barriers."
Ove offered professional advice once more.
Worthy of being Teacher Ove...
Professions like [Architect] and [Secret Text Master] don’t exist in Parrot City, it seems I’ll need to inquire in cities within other noble territories later.
And only after Lin Ke’s father returns.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Ke suddenly had an idea: "Teacher, is there such a book as the ’Compendium of Professions’? That records the characteristics and abilities of various professionals?"
Ove was taken aback: "How could there be such a divine object..."
Seeing this, Lin Ke kept it in mind but didn’t press further, instead saying, "Teacher, then I shall start my research on paper."
Ove praised, "Good, if you genuinely manage to create better paper, that feedback could easily raise your limit by four or five levels."
The profession of [Scholar] requires continuous learning and research, receiving feedback from successful endeavors, enabling unhindered progression.
For example, the knowledge Lin Ke learns from Ove, including Nathanese language, history, politics, etc., provides some minor feedback.
This allows him to accumulate meditation without the bottlenecks of level one or two.
Without bottlenecks, advancing in levels is possible as long as the career energy is sufficient.
Like Ove, who has been stuck at the nineteenth-level bottleneck for a long time; minor experiments no longer provide sufficient feedback.
His profession as a [Truth Researcher] is crucially about research, especially on truths.
To the point that even his part-time role as an [Enlightenment Teacher] has reached level eleven, while his [Truth Researcher] has yet to breakthrough to level twenty.
There are too few epiphanies.
For Lin Ke, researching and inventing paper benefits the [Scholar].
Once paper is invented, perhaps Lin Ke could even transition to [Inventor] within the "Luck" bloodline in the future.
"Right, Little Lin Ke, what profession do you want to pursue after this? If it’s [Truth Researcher], you’ll need to join my school of thought."
Ove and Lin Ke slowly strolled by the riverbank, engaging in idle chatter.
"No, teacher, I don’t want to join a school; I prefer more diverse ideologies." Lin Ke gently shook his head, directly refusing, "Teacher, adhering long-term to a single logic and thought pattern can limit one’s possibilities. Even [Idealism], I think, offers points worth learning."
Upon hearing this, Ove immediately recalled the idealist thoughts Lin Ke had previously shared with him.
However, Ove knew Lin Ke certainly wouldn’t be as extreme as those people.
"Hm, your viewpoint is interesting." Ove began to contemplate Lin Ke’s words.
Lin Ke took the opportunity to relay a phrase he’d heard in his past life: "Teacher, the only truth in the world is that there are no truths."
The pursuit of truth in science is merely an infinite approach to the truth.
The essence of science isn’t gravity, or relativity, or any specific theory...
The essence of science is a set of effective, logically rigorous thinking systems.
Scientists utilize this thinking system to prove or disprove truths, exploring the real truth, which is the essence of science.
Just like how scientists once thought our solar system revolved and rotated like a flat plane, later realizing it actually moves forward.
Now, what we believe to be forward motion might later turn out to be the solar system orbiting an unknown celestial body, who knows?
So, never believe you’ve grasped and mastered all truths.
Most people can’t master it; only a few can touch it, and of those, only a tiny fraction can grasp parts of the truth.
Upon hearing Lin Ke’s statement, Ove was momentarily stunned.
He stood frozen, leaning on his Thunder Staff, murmuring, "The only truth is... there’s no truth?"
Lin Ke assumed Ove was asking about the meaning of this statement, so he conveyed his understanding: "Like how mages in the past believed those with Earth Elemental Talent should learn earth magic and absorb earth elements."
Pointing to the paper mill, Lin Ke continued: "Now, everyone knows that professionals provide a more comprehensive and excellent system, and in the future, perhaps new systems will overturn the current professional system, right?"
"Previously, people thought we lived on a vast and flat land, only to realize we’re on a sphere, right?"
Lin Ke expectantly looked at his teacher: "Teacher, you believe materialists can grasp or access the truth, but have you considered why idealists share the same belief? That only idealists can touch the truth?"
"Moreover, you’re all very powerful, intelligent, and wise."
"Sometimes, understanding and absorbing completely different or even opposing thoughts might spark interesting ideas."
Lin Ke finished, standing still, awaiting Ove’s reflection.
He’s truly hopeful that Ove can break through to level twenty, reaching the reserve for legendary status.
And ideally, break through to level twenty-one to truly become legendary.
Of course, that’s just wishful thinking.
At least ninety-nine point nine nine nine nine percent of people can’t breach this barrier, as the feedback required is overwhelming.
Like cultivators needing enlightenment to achieve immortality, sufficient epiphanies are necessary to overcome the barrier.
For [Scholars], not transitioning until level twenty means that breaking through the level twenty-one barrier isn’t possible with just one or two small research feedbacks.
There are many experimental methods Lin Ke could offer to Ove, but he couldn’t explain their sources.
So, they must proceed step by step, like needing glass for distillation...
Lin Ke’s "Luck" bloodline suddenly ignited.
Though he didn’t notice, he suddenly saw some wandering electric light rising from Ove’s body.
If this were ancient times, the teacher would certainly be a powerful Thunder Mage... Lin Ke couldn’t help but think.
However, just then, a few fine electric lights suddenly left scorch marks on the ground.
Startled, Lin Ke immediately backed away, distancing himself four to five meters from Ove, observing from afar.
But upon looking, he noticed a reflection not far from Ove’s feet.
Reflection? Why is there a reflection?
Wait...
This is... glass!
Lin Ke slapped his forehead.
Right! Glass can also be made!
Then, it’s possible to conduct some metal experiments to determine metal properties and measure some element reactions, possibly leading to the development of chemistry.
Chemistry, periodic table of elements, various chemical materials, and products...
"How could I forget glass..."
Lin Ke felt slightly relieved; with the addition of "Knowledge" and the "Luck" bloodline, he could capture many inspirations.
After all, he knew so much from his past life that it’s easy to overlook some things.
"Boom..."
At that moment, Lin Ke suddenly noticed something while thinking...
An awe-inspiring phenomenon was forming above Ove’s head.
The sky was covered in dense clouds, with lightning interweaving as though lightning from a hundred miles around was being drawn to Ove.
And here with Ove, it was even more terrifying.
His entire body was enveloped by glaring currents, as if he had transformed into a humanoid lightning bolt.
Just as Lin Ke thought "Heavenly Tribulation" was about to descend, all the currents outside Ove’s body suddenly retracted, absorbed back into him.
The thunders in the sky seemed to lose their source of attraction, gradually dispersing as well.
However, beneath Ove’s feet lay a gleaming mess of broken glass fragments.
Indeed, high-level combat powers have immense productivity, directly surpassing some high-temperature furnaces... Lin Ke watched, considering the prospect of a "one-man factory" in the future.
Thinking of having high-ranking legends working to produce glass and paper for him made him somewhat excited.
...
While Ove was breaking through, a few miles away from Lin Ke.
This place was the outskirts of a small wood, a desolate desert, with the famous Great Marsh to the south.
At this moment, a figure stood on the perimeter of the small forest. It was a barren desert, and to the south stretched the renowned Great Marsh.
At this moment, in the place where Lin Ke had once been, a mysterious woman stood before a stone, frowning as if trying hard to sense something.
This stone was the very one Lin Ke had encountered before.
Focusing intently, this woman sent a swift message to the center of the Great Marsh.
"I am the Tide, inform the Majesty of Sleepless, the King of Gods is gone, and the core deity is missing."
"All the Kings of Magical Beasts are to come see me in ten days!"
