章 7: THE SCIENTIST AND THE MAGUS
Mount Luwa has a height of about 3,777 m above sea level. He is the closest volcano to the magical city of Magetan. According to Meyrlion, the status of this volcano is "rest". He estimates that this condition did not change around 125 years ago when his grandfather was still in prime condition. According to him, this mountain has been inactive and can be concluded by looking at the tightening of vegetation and eroded peaks. On the slope, there is a small crater that still emits water vapor and sulfur.
Mount Luwa is indeed very mysterious, cold and amazing. No one knows how many stories are written against the background of this mountain. This is according to the Meyrlion story.
The shade of teak trees, adds elegance to a still beautiful atmosphere.
When the morning came and the night ended, the sun seemed to wake up from his sleep on the bed of the sea of fog. The cold biting air and the colors painted in the atmosphere made Jack stunned.
Under the beautiful shade of the dawn sky that blushed red, Jack felt himself to be very small, meaningless. For a moment he felt like a cloud of dust standing proudly not knowing he was challenging the universe.
Jack pressed his warm orange jacket. He lit a clove cigarette to warm himself up. With pleasure, he exhaled the smoke. His mind was running everywhere. For a moment he remembered the Earth, his place of origin. There, there are also many beautiful places just like here to enjoy the sunrise. It is really beautiful scenery in a different world. Is there still a chance to go back there?
Jack realized. On Earth, he might consider dead already. There was nothing left for him. His life this time here, in a world or planet that Meyrlion calls Iocyania. Back, Jack exhaled the smoke of his clove cigarettes which then gathered with the white mist of the morning on this mountain. So Jack thought, it's time to meet a new future. New plans and new adjustments will do.
"So, you are here," the Meyrlion voice approached. He seemed to be approaching from behind Jack. "What's wrong? Seem's you are too absorbed in your brood over something."
"I just think about everything, bro. Almost everything..."
"What's, up Jack?"
"Except one thing, the unknown power called magic is exist in this world, I wonder why our world seems too similar? As if as our world is a mirror to each other."
"Well, I can not say more since I don't know about your original world, Jack"
"You're right bro. There was a mystery from the beginning of time, said some musician in my world before. I think he was right."
Meyrlion lit up a clove cigarette which he got from Jack. Somehow he is getting used dan enjoying this lifestyle. He inhaled the smoke and exhaling softly. "Are you thinking the origin of us ?"
"You hit the jackpot bro. Correct. Two different worlds should lead to different development. But looks at us, we are too similar to each other. I just realize that this morning."
"What do you mean?" ask Meyrlion while playing with his cigarettes smoke.
"There is a monkey in my lab. It gets hurt by yesterday incident. So I try to recover her by injecting nano-machines. The similar treatment I gave to you, but the result is too different. They worked on you, but not on her. I got my nano-machines too, and they worked well."
"Seems, your nano-something could not work on animals," said Meyrlion.
"Exactly! Seems, My nano-machines on work on human perfectly. That means you and I are specified as 'human' from the perspective of the nano-machines. This tentative conclusion will lead to another big question, bro. We both raised in a different world. I believe, like biological species we both have been undergoing different path of evolution that should result in different species. But that logic was failed because the reality was far too identic."
"Wait, wait. what is evolution ?"
"Well, say with simple words, what we are today is not what we were million years ago. In millions of years, we have evolved from the simple organism into this current form. Off course it also counts about natural selection, mutation, and variation. This is called evolution. Of course, this term is not only discussed in a single branch of science but few more such genetics, molecular biology, phylogenetics, biochemistry, ecology, and physiology..."
"I don't.... understand at all... " Meyrlion looks dumbfounded.
Jack laughed, "Don't worry, I will lend you the books related to those things. There are plenty of books on my labs..."
"Deal. I will read it all. Just gave me those books. Wait... how can I read text come from your original world ?" shout Meyrlion.
"You will have no problem. I just installed one of my original worlds - The Earth - we called it the English language, into your nano-machines. They supposed to work on you, so you will have no difficulties in reading those books."
Merlion laugh, "You are crazy scientist.."
"Bro, since I guess that you are studying about time and spaces magic, how far can you do now ?"
"Last month I managed to find the engineering mechanism of space and time, with my magic of course. Yesterday I managed to find the correct method to manipulate the flow of time in a very specific small area. I borrowed energy that almost killed me yesterday. Just a little bit is enough. This time is enough to cover an area of someone's grave. Well, I should not be too greedy ... "
"How about doing it, bro?"
"Yes, I can slow down time in certain locations. The comparison can be 1 hour versus 1 year. For example, I put the magic sigil in an area overgrown with viyez seeds - or you call it rice - in 1 hour you can harvest three times ... ", said Meyrlion proudly.
"With a little extra magic power, I was able to accelerate the ratio to 1 second, equivalent to a thousand year ... this is still my only estimate, hahaha ... and I can only do it in the Mount Luwa area because it actually utilizes the emission of environmental magic around ... "
Jack smiled happily. His scientist's instinct is disturbed. "Are you interested in trying Darwin's theory of evolution with your new sigil?"
"The theory of evolution? Do you mean ", This time it was Merylion who felt disturbed by his curiosity?
"Darwin said, human earth was an evolution from ancient apes, for millions of years evolved to finally reach humans like today."
Meyrlion stood up excitedly. "How do we do it ... the experimental theory of evolution ?"
"The primates on Earth took around 10 million years to evolve before reaching the stage of modern humans. I myself do not believe this theory will succeed without certain engineering, Of course, this time the experiment we are doing is a guided evolutionary process on a single object. Without involving the process of procreation. Rely on magic space and time engineering and manipulation and with nanomachines. This is a joint project between the science of the earth and Iocyania magic."
"Very challenging ..." said the Meyrlion while putting on a waistband.
# Same location, Jack's Research Facility, Private Assets of Titan Family, one day later
"Hey, Jack, what are you going to do with the beast?" Meyrlion's voice spoke in English. He wears borrowed Jack's shirt and pants.
"Well, this animal is called a monkey, Brother Meyr. She was my experimental object. But it seems that now she is the only friend of mine who came from the same village ... So I gave her name, Tyas.
Merylion is busy paying attention to the behavior of the monkey. "Last night I managed to find the engineering mechanism of space and time, with my magic of course"
Prang ...
Jack was surprised. The item that Jack holding was fell.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, I borrowed energy that almost killed me yesterday. Just a little bit is enough. This time is enough to cover an area of someone's grave. Hahaha ... I can't be too greedy ... "
"How about doing it, Brother?"
"Yes, I can slow down time in certain locations. The comparison can be 1 hour versus 1 year. For example, I put the magic sigil in an area overgrown with viyez seeds - or you call it rice - in 1 hour you can harvest three times ... ", Meyrlion said it proudly.
"With a little extra magic power, I was able to accelerate the ratio to 1 second, equivalent to a thousand year ... this is still my only estimate, hahaha ... and I can only do it in the Mount Luwa area because it actually utilizes the emission of environmental magic around ... "
Jack smiled happily. His scientist's instinct is disturbed. "Are you interested in trying Darwin's theory of evolution with your new sigil?"
"The theory of evolution? Do you mean ", This time it was Merylion who felt disturbed by his curiosity?
"Darwin said, human earth was an evolution from ancient apes, for millions of years evolved to finally reach humans like today."
Meyrlion stood up excitedly. "How do we do it ... the experimental theory of evolution ?"
Jack laughed. His right index finger leads to the monkey lab which is roaming cheerfully in her cage without any bad feeling.
"The primates on Earth took around 10 million years to evolve before reaching the stage of modern humans. I myself do not believe this theory will succeed without certain engineering, ... hahaha ... Of course this time the experiment we are doing is a guided evolutionary process on a single object. Without involving the process of procreation. Rely on magic space and time engineering and manipulation and with nanomachines. This is a joint project between the science of the earth and Iocyania magic. "
"Very challenging ..." said the Meyrlion while putting on a waistband. "Let's start right away ... while you are processing, please explain to me what evolution is, and what nanomachines ...is"
