This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 940 872: Energy? Energy!

Lin Ke opened the envelope and was once again amazed by the curiosity of these vast researchers."Exploring the Reasons Why Upright Walking Intelligent Species Can Perform Precise Throwing"

The researcher is a human who discovered that all ape-like species with human-like hands could perform precise throwing.

Since humans raised their forelimbs, they have flexible waists and joints, allowing them to store and release elastic potential energy to increase the strength and distance of throws.

This gives humans powerful punches and strikes, and allows them to wield tools to defeat beasts.

This researcher even speculates that the reason pre-Mythical Era humans could join the Holy Life Alliance and develop wisdom has much to do with their ability to hold tools with their hands.

It must be said, this guess is very accurate.

Human-like species in Naseng, before the Mythical Era, were estimated to be similar to those on Earth.

They all evolved from very ancient species.

However, due to the lack of historical records and archaeologists, there aren't many findings.

Also, the fossils left behind from the past are probably scarce, since the powerful people of ancient times were so destructive in battle, unlike Earth, where at least some skeletal remains exist.

"A discovery that's easy to overlook but not surprising, much like the discovery of gravity—it pervades our daily lives as a matter of course, yet remains extraordinary because it prompts us to ponder: what forms did humans and human-like intelligent species take in the past?"

"I believe this must be a very intriguing topic. How did our ancestors discover magic? How did they harness it? Did our ancestors look the same as we do now, or did they have a different appearance? Within a thousand years, it is familiar; within ten thousand, slightly vague."

"And beyond ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a hundred million, a hundred billion years... who were our ancestors?"

Penning these paragraphs, Lin Ke once again signed his name.

This question intrigued him too.

The butterfly effect existed in Naseng as well.

What kind of immense change would occur if magic were introduced as a variable in the ancient times?

And why, after introducing magic as a variable, did the final evolved life forms resemble those on Earth so closely?

In any case, Lin Ke was very interested in these questions.

He knew that his interest would be discernible to readers of the magazine from the comments in between lines.

This is a way to guide resources.

Those at the top talk, and those at the bottom run around, that is the meaning here.

His interest would certainly cause many to focus their attention on the relevant field and thus promote its development.

Currently, Naseng's scientific world could be considered flourishing, yet hidden beneath this prosperity are still numerous unknown problems waiting to be solved.

Additionally, thanks to the system of schools and academies that Lin Ke initially set up, "interest-driven" and "curiosity-driven" learning became mainstream.

Researchers didn't care about earning much money or holding high positions as long as they were well-fed and clothed.

Most of their efforts were devoted to areas they found interesting.

They could request funding, research, labs, and so on, which was enough.

The academic and scientific worlds placed more value on whether work could be published in prestigious journals, if feedback was received to enhance capabilities, or if awards were won, for example.

Strength and honor, these are timeless topics in Naseng.

Money? Politics?

They are merely peripheral results.

To develop Azanen from a rural viscount's domain to its current state, Lin Ke did indeed put in a lot of effort.

The change in Naseng is rapid and evident to all.

"This kind of life is really nice," Lin Ke wasn't tired at all but still stretched lazily, feeling quite comfortable.

Even though he had worked for less than a minute.

"However, the divergent thinking of these researchers is really impressive," Lin Ke marveled.

Some were interested in water striders, some in siphonophores, and others in throwing.

In the future, perhaps more and more topics will interest them; this is all possible.

With interest as the driving force, the subjective initiative of intelligent beings can be fully exploited.

It is conceivable that Naseng will surely continue to improve.

"The kinetic energy of water striders, I can learn that too," Lin Ke rubbed his chin, thinking that if he learned ripple walking in addition to the light-speed skill, it would be even more enjoyable.

"Such a small water creature can unleash such tremendous energy..."

Lin Ke believed every living being deserved respect; though weak, the water strider could unleash such colossal kinetic energy.

If applied to humans, all their energy and flesh would likely be exhausted, yet they couldn't replicate this.

"Wait..."

Upon reaching this point, Lin Ke squinted his eyes thoughtfully.

In the next moment, he rose from his desk and flashed into the principal's office at Great Wilderness University.

There were paper and pen here!

"Kinetic energy... potential energy..."

"Energy... matter... information..."

Lin Ke immediately sat at the desk, grabbed paper and pen, and began to write.

And his return did not escape Ove's notice.

"Lin Ke is back?"

Just having finished guiding several university students, Ove was about to examine the electromagnetic effect again when he sensed Lin Ke's presence.

As the dean of the physics department, Ove wielded significant power.

Nonetheless, he never used this power for personal gain; instead, he diligently aimed to contribute to the department.

Professors and students respected him greatly.

However, his progress had been slowing, even stalling at level twenty-two, unable to go beyond.

Originally, his potential only allowed for starglory levels; it was through Lin Ke's guidance, step by step, that he reached today's stage.

Ove felt quite content.

"Perhaps Little Lin Ke has made some discovery," Ove recognized that Lin Ke's behavior of locking himself in the office upon returning likely meant a breakthrough.

Lin Ke had been stuck at the starglory level longer than he had been at level fifteen.

So long in fact that many speculated, if a genius like Lin Ke was trapped by the legendary gap, what chance did others have?

But Ove knew Lin Ke was simply waiting for a catalyst.

Now it seemed, that catalyst had arrived.

Sitting in his chair, observing the energetic students on the sports field, Ove couldn't help but smile, "Good, really good..."

In the next moment, a letter appeared on his desk.

Upon seeing the letter, it hovered in mid-air, emanating waves of magic power.

"Ove! Sir Lin Ke has returned! He even revised three manuscripts!"

"Don't forget the favor I asked of you last time! Our Materialist School must get our share of the uranium mine for research!"

Having said these few words, the letter vanished into the air.

"That old fellow," Ove chuckled and shook his head, then continued sitting in his chair, sipping tea and enjoying the view.

At the same time, seemingly reminded by the letter, Ove took out the Thunder Staff and tapped it forcefully on the ground.

"Buzz..."

An invisible wave spread out, enveloping the entire Great Wilderness University, particularly focusing on Lin Ke's principal office.

Numerous professors sensed it and looked up to investigate, but upon realizing it was Ove's doing, they paid it no further mind.

"During this period, no one shall disturb Little Lin Ke."

Ove took a sip of milk tea, his smile warm.
