I have to say that Henry's proposal in front of me is still very attractive to Sean.

As an international organization with great influence throughout the Eastern Continent, the Rational Society is nominally just an academic organization, but in fact everyone knows that the Rational Society has a huge power and has reached the point where it can influence the political situation and make laws.

For example, many ban bills targeting religions, myths and local legends in the Brighton Kingdom were all written by the Society.

Not only has a huge influence in the upper class of the kingdom, but also has a broad ruling foundation at the grassroots of society. The most common oral verb used by Brightons to express surprise is - rationality is above!

From this point of view, it is somewhat similar to the church in another world.

He had a vague feeling in the past that this organization was like many novels related to conspiracy theories I had read in his previous life, and the mysterious organizations in the movies intended to manipulate the world. However, unlike the villain forces that are usually defeated by the protagonists, the rationality of this world has successfully achieved this goal.

The benefits of being able to join such an organization are absolutely huge.

But what really touched Sean was his interest and vigilance about the mysterious powers mastered by rational learning.

The mysterious power they possess must be very amazing. Sean even suspected that if the other party could find him, he might have used some similar ability to keep a distance from such a powerful force, and be cautious every day.

It would be better to join in and borrow its power for your own use. Wouldn't it be great?

So he almost immediately wanted to agree, but he still maintained the most basic prudence. The other party spent such a great price to ask him for an article, and the matter was definitely not as simple as writing a book.

"Can you ask, why must it be me?"

"Because Mr. Sean has the imagination and the ability to look forward to technology that ordinary people do not have, and the world you write is like a real existence. The Nautilus is a perfect combination of imagination and scientific and technological theory.

Our publishing house has been trying to publish more ‘technology novels’ in recent years. In fact, we have considered many other authors before this. However, those people either lack imagination and cannot create amazing stories, or they do not have enough scientific literacy. The content they write is more like a mythical story than a ‘technology novel’, with no logic and no trust from others.

That's why we chose you."

There is no concept of science fiction in this era, so the 30,000 miles under the sea is considered to be a "technology novel". It is not criticized in the slightest like science fiction novels in later generations. Instead, it is a relatively noble thing.

However, the writing threshold is relatively high. After all, ordinary people don’t even have the most basic scientific concept, let alone expect them to write any science fiction novels...

"So you asked me to make an appointment with me to continue writing technology novels?"

"That's right, and we still have some specific requirements for your new book. Only when we meet our requirements can we complete the task.

"The first point we ask is that the story must be true enough to allow readers to be immersive. It would be better if readers can treat the stories in the book as real."

"The next day we asked was that there must be a magical and imaginative creation in the story, and this technological creation must be theoretically realized - at least it sounds like that, and it does not need to be able to pass the most rigorous scientific argument, but for ordinary people, for example, it must be sufficiently persuasive."

Sean suddenly felt a sudden movement when he heard this, and the other party's words made him have an instant association with some aspects.

‘Immersive?’ ‘Take the story as a reality!’ ‘The magical technological creation can convince ordinary people to believe.’

When these key points are combined, Sean immediately reminds Shawn of the ancient myths of the Nords. Those myths were once believed by the Nords, and they also have immersive plots and rigorous settings.

Do they want to interfere in reality in this way?

Considering that rational learning should have long known that human beliefs can interfere with reality, this speculation is by no means impossible.

If this is the purpose of rational learning, then his original inference will be added: Human belief can not only create gods, but also create technological products?

It is not impossible to think about it. The so-called faith means that people believe in something from the bottom of their hearts. It is not only religious belief that is considered faith, humanistic belief, technological belief, and moral belief. There are too many things that people say that people believe in from ancient times to the present.

As long as you believe in something piously, you can call it faith.

If thousands of people believe in the existence of the Nautilus and believe that this technology can be reproduced in reality, does that mean that people can really build the Nautilus?

Or maybe it is more direct, a ghostly fantasy ship will suddenly appear in the depths of the ocean?

If the power of belief in idealism can turn gods into reality and absurd stories into things that happen, then what's wrong with turning a more reasonable technological invention into reality?

Sean's thinking continued to spread and his brains kept popping up. This was an opportunity! He was a little excited to think of an opportunity to achieve his goal of spreading his faith without attracting the attention of the authorities.

He had been struggling with how to gain the power of faith and how to make people believe in a non-existent god, and in Brighton he could not directly spread religious myths.

But at this moment he had an idea, why didn’t he just add his faith to the book and package it as technology?

Anyway, as long as the goal can be achieved, what's the difference between being called "Divine Punishment Light" or "Solar-Powered Orbital Cannon"?

Many of the ancient human fantasies about gods, flying, clairvoyance, and clairvoyance were realized through technology in the end.

If the other party spent such a large price to make an appointment, it would definitely be vigorously distributed by the time being. I don’t even need to consider the review issue and go public directly through a backdoor listing. Wouldn’t it be nice?

He tried hard to calm down his excitement. He was not sure about the other party's specific requirements for the story, so he dared not say that he could definitely stuff his private goods into it.

"Can you tell me the specific requirements for this story?"

Henry shook his head, "The story is not the focus, the focus is the technological creation inside. The goal of our rational learning is to guide human beings to climb the peak of science and technology and create scientific miracles.

Therefore, we hope to see more technological miracles like the Nautilus in the book to increase human interest in scientific research, such as some kind of machine that can fly manned? You know, flying has always been one of the greatest fantasies of human beings."

Sean said: "Do you mean hot air balloons?"

Hot air balloons were invented sixty years ago, and they are currently quite mature in technology. Both the army and the navy are equipped with hot air balloons for reconnaissance, but the current hot air balloons do not have much power system and can only float with the wind.

Henry shook his head, "No, I'm not talking about hot air balloons, that thing can only be regarded as a toy. I'm talking about a flying machine that can truly fly freely, last long, long-distance flight, and is extremely reliable and practical, and can even exert its power in war, and it must be explained theoretically.

Of course, Professor Sean is an expert in technology, so you still need to listen to your specific opinions.”

Sean thought for a moment. With the technological level of this era, it is almost impossible to create such a war machine, but it is still easy to explain it from a theoretical perspective.

Sean almost instantly made up several options, airships, planes, and even spaceships... But let's start with what people are most accustomed to.

"I do have this idea."

He took out paper and pen from his pocket and drew it directly on the table.

He drew an outdoor picture of an airship. Above the sea, an airship floated in the air. The sun shone brightly in the sky and a few clouds were floating. Although it was relatively simple, it drew that artistic conception.

"What's this?"

"I call it a light airship. Its principle is somewhat similar to that of a hot air balloon, but it is much more advanced. This explanation is a bit troublesome - you should know that air is composed of gases of different components, right?"

Henry nodded, "Of course, although I am not a scientist, I still have basic scientific literacy. We Nathaniels understand this best."

Sean thought to himself that would be simple. "Among all these gases, some must be lighter and some are heavier. You can understand this.

If we can extract gases that are lighter than air and pour them into the airbag, we can obtain a balloon that can float. With buoyancy, we can naturally let the object fly to the sky."

Henry nodded, but was a little dissatisfied: "It sounds like there is no difference between a hot air balloon."

“Haha, of course there is a difference, the difference is very big.

First of all, the buoyancy of light air is greater. Hot air is just a product after heating ordinary air. There is no change in essence, but the volume has expanded a little, so the buoyancy is very limited. This kind of "light air" is much lighter than air. I don't know how much it is, but is this a novel? So we can exaggerate it a little, even if it is 90%.

In this way, the buoyancy provided by the light air is almost the same as the weight of the same volume of air.

And as long as the seal is good enough, the light balloon can float in the air and never fall.

If you have enough airbags, you can create a flying machine with a huge load and can float for a long time - an airship, or a spaceship, as you like.

Henry nodded, and it really sounded very powerful.

He pointed to the drawing, "So there are airbags above and cabin below?"

"That's right."

Sean said as he turned over the drawings and drew a more detailed structural diagram.

Looking at the small cabin under the huge airship, Henry shook his head: "It's too small."

"What's too small?"

"I mean, this cabin is too small, it doesn't seem to have many people at all. The airship itself is too big. Wouldn't it be very troublesome to build it? I wondered if I could draw the cabin bigger so that it would look better."

When Sean listened to the other party's words, he became more and more sure of his guess.

No more, rational learning must be based on the power of faith to develop technology. Anyway, the spacecraft relies on faith to float, so naturally there is no need to consider whether the laws of physics are compounded.
