"So, what you mean is that mana fluctuations were actually formed from four strings of different intensities, combined in different proportions." In Jia Xiu's laboratory, a group of people listened to him explain his latest discovery with bewildered expressions.
"And this bug's function isn't to consume mana, but to convert mana into that, uh, primitive state with only four strings?" Margaret tried to summarize everything Jia Xiu had just explained.
This was an entirely new concept, and it was indeed difficult to take in.
More importantly, it was far too abstract for them. It was like taking string theory, which existed only as speculation, tweaking it a little, then declaring with absolute certainty that this was how things were.
If Jia Xiu had not been the one saying it, they would have taken him for some old man on the street corner rambling about heaven and earth.
Jia Xiu realized this problem as well. For the time being, he had no way to prove that what he was describing existed.
He had forcefully sensed it through Mana Comprehension.
But no one else had that ability.
The situation was a bit like needing to prove to someone with red-green color blindness that red and green were two distinct colors, both of which existed. A color-blind person could at least cross-check through what others said, but here, he was the only one who was not "color-blind."
He needed to make everyone else a pair of "color-blindness glasses."
Now that the excitement of discovering the bugs' function had faded a little, Jia Xiu realized that a mountain of problems was waiting for him.
First, he had to prove that mana could exist in discrete forms. Otherwise, this whole theory of his was nothing but empty talk.
Second, how could discretized mana be applied?
