Wizard of science

"Boom - boom -"

The explosion sound of the high-energy particle collider was still echoing in my ears, and the image imprinted on the retina by the flames had not completely dissipated. Li He, who was knocked to the ground by the impact, struggled to get up regardless of the pain in his body, and quickly issued orders one after another.

"Turn off external energy immediately!"

"Activate emergency plan No. 1!"

"Report the damage...huh?"

Li He's voice suddenly stopped. He looked around and found that for some reason, he was no longer at the explosion site of the high-energy particle collision test base, but at...

In an old-looking castle room.

This seems to be a medieval-style castle room, all built of blue stone. The windows were opened very small, the room was a little damp, and there was a faint smell of moss in the air.

The weak sunlight shone in, making him feel a little dazed.

What is this...

Turning his head and looking at the bronze mirror next to him, his whole appearance changed drastically.

As if he had regained his youth, he turned into a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, sitting on the bed wearing a loose nightgown.

"What the hell is going on?" Li He asked, his mind spinning rapidly.

Could it be a hallucination before death?

With the help of his medical knowledge, he quickly made an inference... Hallucinations before death do exist. In medicine, they are called Near-Death-Experience (NDE), which usually occur a few minutes before death. Or a few seconds.

When the human body is on the verge of death, blood pressure drops, breathing slows down, and the heartbeat slows down. These physiological changes will change the internal environment, affect the function of the nervous system, and prompt the body to release endorphins, dopamine and other hormones, which in turn can cause hallucinations in the human body, such as watching. See light, hear sounds, etc.

However, according to the summary of the medical journal "The Lancet", the hallucinations experienced at the end of the life are generally life reviews, out-of-body experiences, seeing white light tunnels, seeing gods, etc., and will not be like what he is experiencing now.

It won't be so clear, let alone have an extremely clear consciousness.

So what's going on?

Could it be that the lack of oxygen in the brain before death caused damage to the brain and produced hallucinations that were more powerful than the deathbed experience?

Or is the theory of astral projection true, and after death of the human body, the astral self (soul) will detach from the body and travel to other dimensions?

It can't be a time travel in a novel, to a magical different world, right?

First of all, eliminate the most obvious wrong option - time travel - such an unscientific thing will definitely not happen, otherwise all the scientific systems he currently masters will be almost overturned.

Then it is...

While he was thinking, Li He suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

A little girl appeared at the door.

She looks about eight or nine years old, with long eyelashes and big eyes. She is wearing a milky white lace dress and her face is as white as a porcelain doll.

The other party stopped at the door with a worried look and tilted his head slightly to look at the door. The next moment he saw Li He had gotten up from the bed, his eyes widened instantly.

With an expression of surprise and joy on his face, he ran in quickly, grabbed Li He's arm, and opened his mouth to speak.

Then Li He heard the message, and the other party said urgently and quickly: "@#@#￥%%@#."

"Huh?" Li He was slightly stunned.

The other party was also stunned for a moment, and then realized that he probably spoke too quickly and Li He didn't hear clearly.

Taking a deep breath, he said with a cheerful smile: "@#@, # ￥%, %@#!"

Li He: "..."

girl:"……"

After silently looking at each other, Li He was sure of one thing. The other person was speaking a completely unfamiliar language, different from any language he knew.

That is to say, it is not one of the five international lingua franca, nor is it a niche man-made language such as Esperanto or Ido.

The pronunciation is a bit like English, but the syllables and rhythm are more like Spanish.

A very strange language... Li He relied on his linguistic knowledge to judge.

"%\u0026amp;%￥ # ￥%." Seeing that Li He remained silent, the little girl made another voice.

Li He still said nothing.

The little girl became visibly anxious. The next moment she said "%￥ @", turned around and ran outside.

I don't know if I was too anxious, but I didn't even look at where the door was, and ran straight into the wall next to it.

"careful!"

Li He made a sound and subconsciously reached out to pull it.

But the little girl was faster. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of the bluestone castle wall. Then under Li He's gaze, her whole body melted into the wall inch by inch and disappeared.

Wall penetration?

Li He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He walked to the wall where the little girl disappeared, observed it for a long time, then returned to the bed and sat down.

Eyes narrowed, lips pursed.

After a long time, he said: "So this is the first option to be eliminated? Is this a time traveling to a magical different world?"

"Interesting...very interesting..."

…

In the blink of an eye, half a year later.

In half a year, Li He learned the language of this world and figured out some things.

For example, this is a world similar to the Middle Ages, but unlike Earth, there are spells and wizards here.

Half a year ago, he traveled through time and became the fourth adopted son of the Blood Countess of Blackstone Castle - Lihe Gallie Gray.

The Blood Countess has a total of seven adopted children. Except for him, who is an ordinary person, the other six, together with the Blood Countess, all possess magical power. They are all wizards, or witches to be precise.

The little girl in the white dress he met back then was his nominal seventh sister Wei'er, who had the ability to walk through walls and heal. In addition, the sixth sister Fei'er can control fire, the fifth sister can speak animal language, the third sister... the second sister... the eldest sister...

The most powerful one is naturally the Blood Countess. No one has ever seen her take action, but according to rumors, her power is enough to destroy a small city.

Faced with all this, Li Hyuk, who traveled through time, was surprised at first. After that, I developed a strong interest in exploring the reason for the existence of supernatural spells, what kind of existence a wizard is, and what is going on in time travel?

Spells, wizards, and time travel all seem unscientific, but as a scientist, Li He knows very well that the so-called unscientific is just because he knows too little. No matter how unscientific things are, there are logical principles behind them. His purpose is to study these thoroughly in a scientific way. This is much more interesting than the step-by-step research on earth, and it might be possible to create a whole new field of science.

Wizard magic science field? Just thinking about it makes me excited.

But then again, it’s not easy to figure it all out.

Lack of instruments, lack of assistants, lack of resources... Everything had to be started from scratch, and the research progress was very slow. From time to time, it would be "influenced" by the six sisters and the countess, and the progress was as slow as a snail.

But in any case, with the help of scientific thinking, research is constantly advancing.

With the help of science, his power is increasing day by day.

…

Blackstone Castle.

In the open space inside the castle, there is a newly built stone house.

In the stone house, Li He, who had traveled through half a year, was sitting in front of a somewhat simple metal console.

On the operating table, there are a bunch of various parts, some are a round tube, some are a circlip, and some are various special-shaped metal parts.

Li He reached out and picked up the round tube first.

It can be seen that the circular tube is more than 40 centimeters long, and the inner diameter is not a smooth piece, but has multiple rotating and twisted raised thin lines.

This is rifling.

The real name of the round tube is the barrel.

Holding the barrel of the gun and looking at it for a moment, Li He reached out and picked up the scale base, scale notch rear sight, scale vernier, cursor lock button, vernier spring, sight spring, upper handguard latch and other scattered parts, and quickly assembled them.

Soon, a complete barrel assembly was completed.

Li He did not stop, calmed down, and quickly assembled the bolt, firing pin and other internal components...

…

Outside the stone house, a corner of the Black Stone Castle.

Two little girls, eight or nine years old, were playing on the swing.

One of the little girls, wearing a long red dress, with red hair, kept swinging high and falling at high speed on the swing, with her mouth slightly curled, without fear, and lively beyond her years. She was Li He's sixth sister Fei'er. .

There was another little girl, wearing a milky white lace dress, swinging gently on the swing, but she was much quieter. She was Li He's seventh sister Wei'er.

While swinging on the swing, Fei'er suggested boringly: "Wei'er, let's go and play with Li He?"

"Going to play with Li He? No." Wei'er shook her head vigorously and refused, "You're not going to play with Li He, you're clearly going to cause trouble. Li He said that he has something to do this morning and won't let us disturb him. We It’s better not to go.”

"Huh, stupid Wei'er, why are you so obedient? Li He said so. There must be some secret hidden for us to find out. He won't let us go, but we insist on going and taking a look."

"Fei'er, you better listen to Li He, otherwise he will be unhappy and will spank you again. He may even continue to draw your blood for research."

"Hmph, coward Wei'er! I... I'm not afraid. Li He is not a wizard. Even though he is taller than me, he can't beat me at all. As long as... he doesn't drink those weird potions or use those weird potions. A mess of weapons."

"Are you sure? Last time..."

"Don't talk about the last time!" Fei'er opened her mouth, revealing two tiger teeth, and said angrily, "Last time was an accident. Who knew that my fire spell wouldn't work after being sprayed by that weird powder? It must be Li He asked for special spell materials from the count to restrain me."

"No, Li He said, it's called dry powder. He mixed it with phosphorus, acid, ammonia, or water. It can put out fires. He also said that if you make trouble again, you will be sprayed with dry powder and then beaten. Your ass.”

"Humph, the more I say that, the less afraid I am. Anyway, I'm going to make a reservation today. The worst thing is... I'm secretly watching outside the window. It's okay if I don't go in. Are you going or not? If you don't go, I can go by myself. Already?"

"I……"

"I really went..."

"you……"
