Chapter 638 Science is not metaphysics
227 days after birth.
Ouch~!
Professor Shen is still working on adjusting the research equipment that has been moved onto the ark.
Meanwhile, Tiger Girl excitedly approached Cangnian.
Without him.
Tiger Girl has already filled that fourth-tier spirit stone with pure spiritual energy.
Tiger Girl is only at the third rank, so it's very easy for her to restore the third-rank spirit stone to full spiritual energy. However, restoring a fourth-rank spirit stone is much less efficient.
In addition, according to Noah's calculations, the gestation time of a fourth-tier spirit stone is much longer than that of a third-tier spirit stone, so it took Tiger Girl half a month to fully restore it.
However, now that the fourth-tier spirit stones are full, Tiger Girl can't wait any longer and wants Cangnian to provide her with fourth-tier evolution meat to help her break through to the fourth tier!
With each evolution, Tiger Girl's size increases significantly, and her strength also becomes incomparable.
Therefore, Tiger Girl has fallen in love with this process of becoming stronger!
Tiger Girl, a little tiger of her age, longs to grow up quickly.
And Cangnian had no intention of cheating.
It has been half a month since Tiger Girl last evolved.
Based on the fastest safe evolution time for evolved creatures researched in the capital, Tiger Girl is now very safe to evolve to the fourth tier.
However, seeing Tiger Girl's excited enthusiasm for evolution, Cangnian felt it was necessary to explain the dangers involved to her.
"Little sister, now that you've filled up your fourth-tier spirit stones, I'll catch a fourth-tier evolutionary creature for you and help you evolve to the fourth tier."
However, there is one thing you should know: after the fourth tier comes the fifth tier, which is the evolutionary level where your parents, eldest brother, and second eldest brother reside.
But we hadn't paid attention to this issue before, so we completely ignored it.
However, there is research in this area in the capital. Each evolution requires a certain time interval before it can advance to the next evolutionary level.
The further you go, the longer the evolution time required. From the fourth to the fifth stage, at least a month of buffer time is needed to ensure safety.
So don't even think about evolving to level five right away. Safety is the most important thing, understand?
Seeing that Tiger Sister was already impatient, Cangnian earnestly advised her.
After saying that, he couldn't help but think of the abbot of Chanlan Temple, and Song Zhiyuan, who evolved to the third rank overnight on the night of the first spiritual energy revival tide.
This seems to be somewhat different from the conclusion reached in the capital!
"Little sister, please wait a moment. I have some questions to discuss with Professor Shen."
Thinking about this, Cang Nian was completely puzzled and itched to try it out. After hesitating for a moment, he softly gave a word of advice.
Ouch~!
Tiger Girl hadn't quite processed what Cangnian had just said about not evolving too quickly, so she just nodded and howled in agreement.
……
Soon, Cang Nian arrived on the ark and cleared out a research area for Professor Shen.
At this moment, Professor Shen's students were struggling to install the testing equipment, while Professor Shen himself was chatting happily with Noah.
However, Noah, who already knew that Cangnian was coming, naturally made Cangnian the center of everything.
Therefore, even though he was having a pleasant conversation with Professor Shen, he immediately stopped the topic when he saw Cang Nian arrive and turned his attention to Cang Nian.
This abrupt pause left Professor Shen somewhat bewildered, but following Noah's gaze, he turned and saw Cangnian.
"Hey! What's up? Why are you here at this hour?"
"Hurry up and tell me, I still want to share my experience of controlling electronic devices with my mind!"
Seeing Cang Nian, Professor Shen did not give him a kind look just because he was now "living under someone else's roof," and urged him impatiently.
Professor Shen is an extremely intelligent man, and he naturally understands that if he doesn't deal with Cang Nian, Noah definitely won't continue the conversation he just had with him!
"Uh... I'm sorry, Professor Shen, I'm sorry to have bothered you."
I mainly have a question!
I heard Yang Feng say before that the transition between every two evolutionary levels requires a sufficiently long period of time.
Otherwise, there is a risk of it disintegrating during the evolution process.
He said that it would take one day to go from the first to the second level, and three to five days to go from the second to the third level.
It takes more than ten days to go from level three to level four, and a month to go from level four to level five.
But why is it that Song Zhiyuan, a powerful figure from the older generation who had practiced martial arts for decades before the spiritual energy revival, is like this?
Is it possible to evolve directly to the third tier on the very night of the first spiritual energy revival tide?
Or is Yang Feng's theory wrong?
Cang Nian first apologized, then quickly asked.
"You should ask the Academy of Agricultural Sciences about this question; these are the conclusions they have reached through their research."
However, I am aware of this conclusion. It is an empirical conclusion that has proven reliable in numerous experiments and can be directly referenced.
As for why Lao Song and the others were able to evolve to the third tier overnight without their bodies disintegrating.
The Academy of Agricultural Sciences also lacks specific research conclusions, or rather, there are no conditions for verification.
But we've all gotten together to discuss it, and the most supported hypothesis is this:
The spiritual energy revival tide is a tremendous change in the world, inherently mysterious, whether it was due to some unknown substance released by the Earth at that time, or the Earth being in a special environment.
In short, these unknown factors suppressed the side effects of the rapid and drastic changes in a short period of time. Therefore, Old Song and the others didn't die that night, but rather advanced to the third level overnight.
Although Professor Shen was impatient, since Cang Nian had asked the question, and it wasn't something even a fool could answer, he patiently explained it, even though it wasn't related to his area of expertise.
"Uh... that's it? Isn't this some kind of mystical theory?"
Cang Nian was stunned after hearing this.
He never expected that Professor Shen, a national treasure-level researcher, would come to a conclusion that leaned directly towards metaphysics.
Moreover, it wasn't just Professor Shen who came up with this conclusion; it was a result of many researchers from other research institutes in the capital coming together!
Is there any difference between this and him making wild guesses on his own?
"Otherwise what? Scientific research isn't as magical as you think."
We simply use existing known conditions and mature scientific research methods to derive conclusions.
How did Lao Song and the others manage to break through to the third level overnight without dying? Firstly, we no longer have any subjects suitable for our experiments and observations.
Secondly, the first wave of spiritual energy revival has already passed, and we cannot predict the second wave.
Even if we can predict the timing of the third spiritual energy revival tide based on the first two spiritual energy revival tides, it's hard to say whether that special effect is only present during the first spiritual energy revival tide.
Moreover, we can't even predict whether there will be a third spiritual energy revival tide!
All the conditions for experimental verification no longer exist, so how can we possibly study its essence?
If we can arrive at a non-mystical conclusion under such conditions, then that would be true metaphysics!
Professor Shen rolled his eyes in annoyance.
