Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

Chapter 101 The theory is wrong

"So far, I don't understand cursed energy too much, but looking at this, I think I understand it a little more. The problem is the heating. Cursed energy is not an ordinary energy; it's not photonic either. It's an energy with mass, and it takes up space. When you heat it up under these circumstances, it expands, and there is no longer a way to increase its density. That caused it to explode." Klaus said.

Jasmine frowned. "You mean thermal expansion? There's no way; how could energy suffer the effects of thermal expansion?"

Klaus smiled. "An energy can suffer such effects, although it could only do so under certain circumstances, and for now, I don't know them, but I think it's more that they don't take into account that the cursed energy is like a kind of gas imperceptible to the common human eye. Heating it so much increases the pressure on the walls of the container, so it will end up causing the same effect sooner or later."

"And there's one more issue." He said quickly, as he finished his words and, at this point, became a bit more serious.

Jasmine looked at him, confused. "What is it?"

"Well, it's not one issue, it's several. The theory may be wrong."

"Why do you say that?"

"Let's say that the first option is incorrect, and we must look for a second option. It is even simpler, and it is one of the reasons why the experiment will not be able to take effect: In the face of continuous explosions in order to heat the energy, it fills with gasses, so even if you have a container strong enough to withstand what was said above, when you try to cool it following the theory, what will happen is that it will fail once again. The gasses will seek to get out somehow, and you will end up exploding the whole thing."

"Gas?"

"Yes. Also, if they have some way of getting across that problem, then there is still a third option by which it can fail: lack of fuel."

"Lack of cursed energy, right?" she asked, and Klaus nodded.

"In this theory, the cursed energy is like a fuel, so by burning so much, not only is it very likely to fill up with gasses, but when the temperature is suddenly changed, those gasses will look for a way to get out and will use up all the fuel as they try to get out of there. By downsizing, there won't be enough room for them, and they'll end up using up all the fuel needed."

Jasmine looked thoughtful after hearing all this, but Klaus wasn't finished yet.

As he spoke, he couldn't stop talking because he had noticed several problems with the theory.

"And the last option is, let's say, they manage to cool it down, and by luck, they manage to create the body of a cursed beast. When that happens, all the gasses contained will explode and damage the body unless they are expelled before they are created. In the end, everything left will explode, and there will be nothing; the theory will fail. That whole theory is poorly put forward or perhaps executed; you would have to rephrase everything and understand why it came about in the first place." He culminated.

After several seconds of silence, Jasmine couldn't find words to refute his words.

'He had to have known the theory from before. There's no way he could know that deep, just from what I told him and what he's seen.' She thought, feeling stunned.

He even realized the problem the great scientists of the world had when they tried to realize it; how could he not know it?

Although she felt skeptical in that regard, she was in awe of Klaus' amazing intelligence.

Whether he knew it or not, figuring out all those problems was already a great achievement, and he could solve that millennial riddle.

Naturally, his answers created many questions in her head, but she could not ask them, for, at that moment, they had reached the place where they would eat.

The rest of the time, they ate and chatted about many things. Klaus learned about the precarious situation of science in this country from the words of each of these scientists.

The government did not want independent science to improve, so it blocked different access networks. Most scientists were hired by the government, working on large projects exclusively for the government, and those who did not want to were facing difficulties in every way.

An example of this is research that has something to do with what they are doing today; although they are supported by private investment and enthusiasts, they will never be supported by the government because they deal with a dangerous subject. That's why they usually don't advertise too much to the public.

The government wants to control science and knowledge pretty tightly, which is why it has taken over some renowned universities in recent months.

Klaus understood what they wanted to do. When you control knowledge and the networks through which it is distributed, you can achieve a perfect state of control of the population, so they can easily pass off the truth as a lie and vice versa. These practices go against science, or at least against everything Klaus believes science to be, but they are common practices.

Still, he didn't ask too many questions because he wasn't in a situation where he could ask; being an 'outsider', he would later investigate like Klaus. However, Jasmine did seem to be interested, so she asked a few questions, which were answered in full.

Everyone acted in a good manner and followed their hearts to talk, so there was a lot to talk about, although, being science-obsessed scientists, most of the conversation revolved around those topics.

But Klaus never told them why they had failed.

After several hours, when midnight came, the scientists decided to say goodbye, but they invited Klaus once more, so he decided to visit them in the near future.

After that, Jasmine and Klaus walked around the city.

"It seems that your mind is formulating plans. What are you planning?" Jasmine asked as they walked through a beautiful square with few people.
