Chapter 2: Magic is Science!_2

The appearance of these elements was diverse, vaguely giving Lynn a familiar feeling. Some were "incredibly heavy," and merely moving them slightly made him feel mentally exhausted.

Completely immersed, Lynn suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon.

The elements floating in front of him were being absorbed into his body at a peculiar frequency, only to be expelled again, repeatedly circulating.

So, a wizard's body frequently needed to absorb these magical elements?

This question suddenly appeared in Lynn's mind. Upon closer examination, he made a startling discovery because this phenomenon was clearly caused by his breathing…

Wait… Isn't this just oxygen?

Lynn was momentarily stunned, gasping. In his eyes, the high and mysterious image of magical elements instantly collapsed.

Previously, he hadn't recognized them immediately because he wasn't directly seeing these "elements"; instead, he was using a mystical method to perceive them through spiritual power and then influencing them with magic power…

Moreover, the proportion of chemical elements in this world's air was slightly different from his previous life, so Lynn hadn't initially thought in this direction.

But with this theory, the previous process of capturing elements to create water also had a new explanation.

What is water?

It is an inorganic substance composed of hydrogen and oxygen!

So, was he not performing magic just now but conducting a chemical experiment?

Was a wizard essentially a group of chemists?

This conclusion made Lynn pause, but he quickly shook his head. This world had an extraordinary existence called magic power, and from his recent spellcasting, it seemed that magic power could manipulate matter at a microscopic level!

If there were no limitations, wizards would be akin to gods!

According to the scientific theories of his previous life, all matter in the world is composed of atoms. If magic power could manipulate matter at that level, it could create or destroy anything.

Lynn quickly fell into deep thought, sharply realizing how terrifying his knowledge of chemistry and physics from his previous life would become when combined with magic!

If the scientific theories of his previous life could create various machines to transform the world, wizards could directly convert those theories into magic, wielding immense power!

Lynn extended his hand again, and the hydrogen and oxygen in the air around him were separated and formed a small water ball floating in his palm.

This time, Lynn was not satisfied with just that. If his hypothesis was correct, the key to the so-called first-ring magic "Frost Blade" was to change the form of water from liquid to solid, thereby enhancing its lethality!

To achieve this, he needed to lower the temperature of the water...

Lynn recalled his previous life's physics lessons: the faster the molecular motion of an object, the higher its temperature; the slower the molecular motion, the lower the temperature…

In other words, he needed to slow down the movement of the water molecules!

With a thought, the highly active water molecules in Lynn's palm slowed down under the influence of magic power, condensing tightly together. Almost instantly, the small water ball froze into a clear ice crystal.

Just as Lynn was thrilled by the realization of his hypothesis, a prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Special energy detected... Origin unknown, no records in the database. Would you like to establish a related file?"

Lynn was stunned at first, then his face immediately showed disbelief.

He could not have been more familiar with this voice.

But hadn't he traveled through time and space? Even his body had changed, so the auxiliary chip previously implanted should no longer exist...

"071, do you know how we traveled here? Is there any record in the system?" Lynn urgently inquired.

"System shut down and restarted due to unknown reasons. No records." the system replied.

Lynn frowned, feeling a bit disappointed, but he quickly composed himself and asked again. "How long can your remaining energy sustain your operation?"

Since he had arrived in this otherworld, constantly facing the risk of being hunted, Lynn could only find ways to survive.

The accompanying auxiliary intelligence was an unexpected delight. Although due to the Federal Amendment Act, personal auxiliary chips had limited intelligence, thanks to his previous life as a data storage specialist, 071 stored a lot of technological information from his previous life…

In this unique world where science and magic intertwined, the importance of this information was self-evident...

"Energy remaining thirty-seven point six percent. Special energy detected, can be used to supply system operation..." the system continued.

Special energy... did it mean magic power?

Lynn mused. The various characteristics that magic power exhibited amazed him. If he were still in his previous life, he would probably have thrown himself into the laboratory by now.

Unfortunately, he was currently a penniless, powerless wizard apprentice being hunted by the church. Whether he could see the sun tomorrow was uncertain...

Lynn sighed, then spoke solemnly. "071, establish a new file and name this special energy as magic power!"

"Loading into the database..." the system responded.

Taking advantage of this interval, Lynn turned to look at the diamond-shaped ice blade floating in his palm.

Due to the infusion of magic power, this ice blade differed from any ice he had seen before, continually emitting a chilling cold, with its head forming a pointed cone and its overall shape streamlined.
