Crow's Paradise

At this time, Yao Yan had an inexplicable feeling.

This feeling did not exist when he was in the position just now, but it only appeared when he was close to this distance. To be precise, it was when he flew up the pillar.

The source is undoubtedly the "place of chaos" shrouded in black mist ahead.

Seeing that he didn't move sluggishly and that he arrived in front of the black mist with "skilled" operations, Lou Lan was even more convinced that this giant crow-like polluted body was no stranger to Buzhou Mountain.

As Loulan became more and more sure of his suspicions, he became more cautious about this pollutant who acted like he had come to Buzhou Mountain for the first time.

Lou Lan suppressed some tentative thoughts that came up in him and immediately led the way towards the black mist:

"Your Excellency, come this way."

When the words rang out, her body had disappeared into the black mist.

And Yao Yan did not hesitate. In that strange feeling, he flapped his wings and flew into the black mist.

puff--

As the black mist surged, a strange, shadowy crow with no specific outline appeared at the corner of a street.

This giant crow is of course Yao Yan.

However, the scene in this area in his eyes was different from before.

It was a mess, a strange building made up of countless strange and different styles of materials.

It's even more confusing than Buzhoushan's overall style.

In that weird space, gravity is directed toward the solid "ground".

On the ground, gravity is pointing downward, and on a wall, gravity is roughly pointing toward the wall.

But other than that, the various buildings are relatively regular.

And here are the words.

The buildings on this block that Yao Yan saw were put together in an unusual and strange way.

For example, there is a three-story building standing in front of him. On the whole, it resembles the style of the ancient Greek stone beam and column system. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are some Roman structural styles embedded in it. .

Not only that, but there are also some Baroque architectural styles.

It's just a bunch of similar looking things thrown together haphazardly.

If you don’t know the details, you will feel a little strange at most, or even feel that the style is unified.

For Yao Yan, who could recognize these structural styles, these "look-alike" styles were mixed together, which seemed very strange.

and

Yao Yan's eyes turned to the right.

To his right, there was a building with a very different style from the white building on the left.

It was a metallic building.

The general colors are yellow, gray, and black metal buildings.

but.

Yao Yan quickly identified what was mixed up in this building.

Exposed pipes with an industrial feel and some rust, a Gothic-style copper-colored building, and gears and transmission rods on the corners.

With a sense of heaviness, it seems that wood is like a metal support structure and fitting mortise and tenon joints.

The main body of the rough metal building has a cold and heavy industrial texture.

In his impression and memory, each image has a corresponding background and a series of symbols.

The first one corresponds to the overall image of steam machinery, and the symbol related to power is steam machinery, which is a driving device brought by heat, mainly solid fuel coal.

The second one corresponds to the overall image of a wooden mechanism, and the symbol related to power is a clockwork mechanism, an mechanism driven by water power, wind power, and purely mechanical energy storage.

The third one corresponds to the overall image of a heavy device, and the related symbol of power is an internal combustion device, a driving device brought by heat and liquid fuel.

Although what you see in front of you is just a building and there is no power involved, the overall background that comes to mind after seeing the relevant elements is enough to make this building seem unusually inconsistent.

However.

It just appeared, in Yao Yan's vision.

This building puzzled Yao Yan even more than the building next to it that was a mixture of several eras and regions.

After all, architecture doesn't involve technology, it's just a matter of style.

But when it comes to technology-related buildings, it is easy to cause a sense of disobedience.

Because the technologies corresponding to these buildings themselves will be technically suppressed by each other.

Pure mechanical energy is the easiest to obtain, but the least efficient, but if supported by the natural environment, it is endless.

A steam heat engine evaporates water through combustion, and converts mechanical energy into a propelling device through the expansion of water into water vapor.

An internal combustion heat engine directly drives the mechanical device through the combustion of fuel to expand the gas at high temperature.

The first is the simplest and most primitive mechanical device.

The second and third types are efficient and more efficient development devices.

If we take them two by two, the first type can be combined with the second type, and the first type can be combined with the third type.

But the second and third types are difficult to coexist.

Because the first type is the most primitive and the most direct use of the mechanical device itself, it is a basic device.

To compare with a simple example, the plow itself is nothing special.

Whether using human power or ox power, or cultivating machines, plows are used.

It is the most necessary and the least unnecessary.

What is necessary is its meaning as a tool and as a mechanical device.

What is not necessary is its external form.

Iron rake, copper rake or the appearance of alloy rake, it doesn't matter.

The third type has crushing efficiency over the second type.

During his lifetime, Yao Yan had seen many steam-powered devices covered with the same layer of skin as the engine, he had also seen internal combustion heat engine power devices covered with the same layer of skin, and he had also seen devices driven by electricity with the same layer of skin.

And for this world.

Even more so.

This world is neither a steam engine, nor an internal combustion engine, nor an electric motor.

Spirit.

"Yanren", from a physical sense, they are mechanical devices, but their power is not fuel machinery.

If we have to talk about fuel, it is the "matter" of "spirit".

The relationship between "organ" and "steam engine", "internal combustion engine" and "electric machine" is that they can be replaced at any time.

In this world, every element and representation is a surface that can be replaced and transformed at will.

"Spirit" is the core of this world.

After waking up, his step-by-step understanding of the world allowed him to quickly switch his thoughts and grasp the essence.

Whatever appearance or characteristics it has, it is just a layer of skin.

There was no emotional interference and calm thinking, allowing him to quickly escape from doubts and confusion.

It was at this moment that in front of him, the architectural features that originally seemed "violating" became like useless, lost their flavor, lost their superfluous meaning, and returned to their consistent essence——

It's just a building that mixes certain elements.

As his wings flapped, Yao Yan's gaze quickly fell in front of him.

The black mist broke through, and Loulan, who had entered before him, only broke through the black mist at this time and appeared in his field of vision.

As for Loulan, after noticing this, her mood started to wander again.

ps: The protagonist’s statement is the protagonist’s statement, which is different from the actual situation.

In this world where spirit is the main body, his understanding and worldview will affect his power.

He will have wrong understandings, and these understandings will have an impact on himself.

I apologize to book friends who understand relevant philosophy. I lack writing skills and can only describe relevant knowledge and concepts in a superficial, vulgar, entertaining, and simplified way, which may lead some people to misinterpret relevant concepts.

Therefore, I would like to apologize to all the book friends who do not understand relevant philosophy. If you want to understand relevant knowledge, it is best to find some more professional books and people to understand, discuss and study, and enter philosophy with caution.

However, it is not recommended to casually use corresponding philosophical concepts as discussion materials. After all, different philosophical schools have one or more sets of methodologies. Related concepts are formed based on this set of methodologies. They are different from general concepts and are used without foundation. , it is easy to become the laughing stock of others.

If there is any problem, you can directly explain that it is the misleading caused by my book. After all, from the dissemination process, even if I am not the direct cause of the error, I am one of the sources of the error.
