Chapter 3529 The mystery of solidification

 Since it is a "specialty", it must have its own unique effects.

 The effect described on the circular mirror is: it can be between illusion and reality.

 But in fact, this is just a gimmick.

 The real effect of flowers on the cloud is to enlighten one’s wisdom.

 Inspire wisdom.

 Because what constitutes Cloud Shanghua is a large amount of information flow, which contains the thinking style, thinking logic, and thinking angle of the head-shot people.

Although these are not real "knowledge", as long as you are exposed to the flowers on the cloud all year round, you will be affected by the flow of information and gradually enlighten your wisdom.

However, the premise is that the object of enlightenment must have an absolutely powerful brain and a rich enough imagination.

 This may be a bit vague.

 For example, "Flowers on the Clouds" can be used by three types of beings.

 First, it is for use by beings who are close to enlightenment among sentient beings.

For example, common birds and beasts, birds, insects, fish, etc., but not all such creatures can be enlightened. They must be alien species in the group and have emotions and feelings.

 This type of heterogeneous species is extremely rare. Once it appears, it is absolutely outstanding. Some of them can enlighten themselves without relying on flowers on the clouds.

 Second, it is used by monsters and low-minded people among monsters.

 Low intelligence means that one already has a certain amount of intelligence, but may lack logic and thinking, resulting in low utilization of the brain.

Such a creature, as long as you light a little fire, the flame of their wisdom can burn brightly.

Flowers on the clouds can become the fire that ignites wisdom.

 Third, it is used by cubs in intelligent life.

Although the cubs of intelligent life will most likely be able to receive methodical intelligence training in the future and acquire corresponding high intelligence. So you don’t necessarily need flowers on the clouds.

 But if you can come into contact with flowers on the clouds at the cub stage, you can develop the ability to think, ponder, and speculate in advance.

 From a certain perspective, this can raise the upper limit of human wisdom.

Of course, this does not mean that human cubs can become smart as long as they are exposed to cloud flowers for a long time.

 Whether you are smart or not depends on your hard work. If you have a high limit of wisdom and don't use it, you will only lose everyone.

In short, the effect of flowers on the clouds is related to the wisdom in the dark.

If you look at it from a long-term perspective, the effect of Yunshanghua is actually very good. However, Yunshanghua requires long-term exposure to have an effect, and the effect is not obvious. This leads to the fact that although it is recognized as a specialty of the head lens family, there are very few buyers.

Compared with those extraordinary potions and extraordinary props that meet each other on a pole, the effect of flowers on the cloud is not very impressive, at least it will not be liked by short-sighted people.

 Even those who have a long view may not like flowers on the clouds.

 Because the effect of flowers on the clouds is too "mysterious".

It is said that flowers on the clouds can enlighten the wisdom of alien species among sentient beings, but in many cases, alien species can break through the upper limit of wisdom even without using flowers on the clouds.

　　When the alien species becomes enlightened, look back and see whether it was the flower on the cloud that prompted it to become intelligent, or was it itself able to break through the upper limit of intelligence? That's hard to answer.

Furthermore, Yun Shanghua’s so-called raising the upper limit of wisdom is also an effect that is not easy to prove.

Under such circumstances, even those with a long-term vision are not very optimistic about Yunshanghua, or have a wait-and-see attitude.

This is why the reputation of Yunshanghua is not very good now, and the owners of Xiaojing No. 4 shop have begun to use gimmicks to falsely promote it.

 …

What does Angel think of the effect of Flowers on the Cloud?

 Just talking about the effect, I don’t have any opinion.

If he had to say something, he could only think in the direction of Star Attendant. Star Attendant is now a hollow man. On the road of increasing wisdom, in a sense, he is also a "newborn".

Maybe the flowers on the clouds will have an effect on him.

This is the only thing Angel can think of.

 But if it was just because of the Star Attendant, Angel would not go out of his way to buy Yunshanghua. Because Star Attendant was once a transcendent person, his brain has been greatly developed. Although it is now empty, as long as it is filled with knowledge and three views, he will definitely regain his dazzling appearance as an intelligent creature.

Yunshanghua has a very limited uplifting effect on him.

 So, Angel will not buy Yunshanghua specifically for Star Attendant.

The effect of the flowers on the clouds in enlightening wisdom is of little use to Angel, so he basically has no opinion on the effect of the flowers on the clouds.

There is no difference between the stones on the street and the pools of wild flowers on the roadside.

But then again.

Although Ingres didn’t pay much attention to the effect of the flowers on the clouds, he was still very interested in the structure of the flowers on the clouds.

“Why are the flowers on the cloud half illusory and half real?” After hearing Angel’s question, 408 smiled and said, “This is actually very simple.”

408 did not answer immediately, but pointed to the actual flower on the cloud.

 On the fluffy clouds, there is a golden swaying flower.

 The body of the flower did not move, but the branches continued to spread outward. The spreading flower branches become more illusory as they move toward the branches; the closer they are to the flower itself, the more solid they become.

408: "Guest, I have said before that what constitutes the essence of Yunshanghua is actually the internal information flow. So has the guest now discovered what is the difference between the illusory half of the information flow and the solid half of the information flow? Is there a difference?"

Angor carefully observed the flowers on the cloud.

 The flowers on the clouds in the illusory part, the internal information flow, exudes little golden light, twinkling like stars at night.

In the solidified part of the flower on the cloud, the internal information flow also exudes golden light, but the golden light is connected together, as bright as the Milky Way.

 The difference between the two is obvious.

“The flow of information in the illusory part is relatively sparse, while the flow of information in the solid part is denser?” Angel said his observation.

408 nodded: "This is indeed a difference. However, have the guests ever thought about the reason for the sparse information flow? What does the dense information flow mean?"

Angor looked at the "starry sky" and "Milky Way" arranged by flowers on the clouds, and a flash of inspiration seemed to flash in his mind.

But this spiritual light was like a shooting star, just streaking across the sky filled with stars. It gave Angel a little inspiration and made him vaguely understand something, but it was still a little short of complete clarity.

On the other hand, 408 itself was not to test Angel, and she did not dare to test him. After all, she was a guest. The reason why I asked the question was just to liven up the atmosphere and highlight Angel's intelligence.

However, 408 was also very measured. Seeing that Angel didn't say anything for five seconds, she immediately started to make amends for herself.

If it takes a little longer, if Angel hasn't figured out the answer, not only will he not be able to reflect the guest's intelligence, but he may also make the guest angry. Therefore, it is most appropriate to be stuck for five seconds. Even if there is no idea, it can be said that the thinking time she gave is too short.

"Guests should know that if you want to express a complete information flow, you need a supporting skeleton." 408: "And sparse information flow, precisely because there is no such skeleton, it is chaotic and cannot express its meaning. It’s also illusory…”

 408 Speaking of this, Angel suddenly thought of something.

"I seem to understand. The illusory part of the flower on the cloud is because the internal information flow is disordered and cannot express the complete meaning..." Angel: "The solid part is because the information flow has a skeleton. Yes, there is underlying logic.”

 If expressed in text information, it would be—

 Because the illusory part is disordered, its information flow can be expressed as: "cloud, above, me, flower."

 At first glance, I have no idea what information flow means.

 The solid part gives the information flow a skeleton, and this skeleton is the logic that supports the meaning of the information. Therefore, for the same text message, the condensed part of the expression becomes: "I am the flower on the cloud."

 The amount of information contained in the two is the same, but because the former has no logic, it is confusing and difficult to understand.

 The latter has a series skeleton, which makes it clear and easy to understand.

Siu 08 smiled and nodded: "The guest is indeed very thorough. Yes, that's right. The reason why the flower on the cloud is half illusory and half solid is because it is half disordered information and half ordered information."

Angor: "Although I generally understand it, I still don't understand why orderly and logical information becomes solidified?"

Just like 408, her essence is a stream-of-consciousness life. When she is in her true form, every message she expresses is a complete and logically ordered message.

 But the ordered information she expressed will never be condensed into an entity.

 But Flowers on the Cloud can condense ordered information into entities.

This is what Angel is really confused about.

Faced with Angel's inquiry, 408 pondered for a long time before replying: "This...I don't know very well, but there are many scholars at Jingshan College who have studied this issue. Some scholars even think that, As long as we figure out how to condense information flow into entities, our combat effectiveness can be greatly improved."

 “But so far, there has been no progress.”

“Moreover, Jingshan College has completely given up on this research.”

Angor was stunned: "Give up research? Why?"

 Actually, these things are all secrets of the Toujing clan. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to tell the outside world about 408, but considering that Angel is a big customer.

 In addition, these matters themselves were not prohibited from being spread to outsiders, so 408 thought about it and finally told the truth:

“Because, according to the existing information, the reason why the flower on the cloud can condense the orderly information flow into an entity is because the flower on the cloud is very special and has such properties in itself.”

“In other words, the nature of flowers on the cloud is to condense ordered information into entities.”

“But this kind of condensed entity can only be condensed into flowers and branches, and will not be changed by external interference. It is even less possible to condense the flow of information into weapons like what Jingshan scholars have studied.”

“The solid part of the flower on the cloud is too weak to be used in battle.”

 In short, the reason why the orderly information flow can be consolidated is because of the special material of "Flower on the Cloud".

But the Toujing family currently has no clue as to why the flowers on the cloud have such properties and how to exploit them.

However, after listening to 408’s story, Angel felt his heart move.

 He suddenly had an inspiration.

The nature of the condensed information flow of flowers on the cloud is similar to that of mysterious figurative objects.

As for the mysterious figurative object, although Angel can create it and control it to a certain extent, he can only control it in a general direction and cannot control details.

 Because fundamentally, the internal information of mysterious concrete objects is actually disordered.

Angor can control it simply because there is a certain homology and commonality within it. Under the influence of commonality, the general direction can be controlled, but the details cannot be precisely controlled.

if…

 It can make the disordered information inside the mysterious concrete object, like the solidified part of the flower on the cloud, begin to become orderly.

After creating a mysterious figurative object, can it be perfectly controlled from the general direction to the small details?

  Don’t think that controlling small details is of little value.

  Its value is very great.

Because only small details can be controlled, Angel can perform various micro-manipulations to make the mysterious objects have certain effects and even have targeted properties.

 For example, Ingres can now create a mysterious figurative object in the shape of “double wings”.

 But with his current control power, he can only fly his wings and have a certain ability to float.

 But if it can master subtle manipulations, then it can develop various cool operations.

 For example, it can scatter thousands of feathers from its wings and turn them into a rain of feathers for group attacks; it can also turn the feathers into a rain of needles to target a single target.

 In other words, Angel turned the wings used for flying into weapons that can attack.

 This is what is called “giving targeted properties to mysterious objects”.

Even if Angel is willing, he can further modify the shape of the wings and the subtle internal structure to make the feathers more streamlined.

 This way, you can speed up your flight.

 This is the so-called "speed" targeting.

 Given Angel’s current control over mysterious figurative objects, it would be difficult for him to do this. But what if he could use the characteristics of the flower on the cloud to study the ordering of the internal information of the mysterious concrete object?

 Then he will be able to control the mysterious concrete objects in detail.

 Let the mysterious object change its characteristics according to your own ideas.

At first glance, this may not seem like a big deal...but if you think about it deeply, this is actually a kind of creation!

 Create a new way of alchemy!

 And this method of alchemy is—the alchemy of fantasy!

Angor had already had some ideas about "Fantasy Alchemy" before, and even started to use part of the ability of Fantasy Alchemy on the Fuxin Mirror.

 However, the utopian alchemy at that time was still an empty shell.

If Angel can study the solidification properties of flowers on the clouds and manipulate mysterious objects in more detail, it will actually be equivalent to further perfecting the alchemy of fantasy.

 Maybe, after this.

The false and empty fantasy alchemy will really come to the world!

 Once successful, there is no doubt that it is a new way!
