Chapter 303: Plagueis’ Research (Part 1)
301. Plagueis’ Research (Part 1)
During the following period, Tang Xiao was completely immersed in Da During the research of Plagueis, he read the manuscript left by Plagueis several times.
The knowledge recorded in it is simply shocking. If discovered by the Jedi Order, then these studies can be said to be absolutely taboo!
Judging from the content of the research, Darth Plagueis has truly touched the most taboo aspect of the Force - creating life!
Moreover, Darth Plagueis also conducted very detailed research on midi-chlorians, the carrier of the Force. This research can be said to be unique in the entire galaxy, and it can never be found even in the collections of the Jedi Temple.
As for the origin of the Force, one theory that both Jedi and Sith agree on is the existence of midi-chlorians (the old version is translated as midi-chlorians).
Midibilia are organisms that exist in the microscopic world. Every cell in a normal person's body contains about 1,000 to 2,500 midichlorians. The higher the density of midi-chlorians, the closer the connection between the person and the Force. Generally, the density of midi-chlorians of a Jedi is between 5,000 and 10,000 per cell. If the density of midi-chlorians exceeds 15,000, it can basically be said to be a creature of pure force.
And midi-chlorians are closely connected to life. When a person dies, the midi-chlorians in his body will also dissipate.
Through the midi-chlorians in the body, people can sense and utilize the Force. Of course, if the density of midi-chlorians is too low, there will be no response to this induction, or even if there is a response, it will be very subtle and cannot be noticed at all.
There are two different theories. One is that midi-chlorians were created by the Force to serve as a bridge between organisms and the Force. Another theory is that midi-chlorians themselves have the ability to sense the force, and the use of midi-chlorians is the use of the force.
Obviously, Darth Plagueis is a supporter of the latter statement and is also the direction of his research.
In the manuscript "A New Exploration of the Force" written by Darth Plagueis, the first sentence is: "The Jedi believe that the operation of the Force is mysterious and great. To say that they are uninducible and inexplicable is to admit their own ignorance. Any mysterious force can be explained by unremitting efforts and ever-expanding knowledge, as we do in the Congress of the Republic. The Parliament is the foundation of the Republic, and the Force is the foundation of the Jedi..."
For this sentence, Tang Xiao's understanding is that Plagueis believes that the Jedi have put the Force into a mysterious form. The cloak is to maintain one's transcendent status, so if this cloak can be taken off, the foundation of the Jedi no longer exists. And Sidious did the same thing - used the Council's own authority to attack the Republic.
Plagues’s manuscript was filled with annotations, and these were annotated more than once. Some key points were even annotated more than ten times. For this reason, Plagueis had to add annotations to the manuscript. Many pages were appended, giving the manuscripts an even more cluttered look.
The study of the manuscripts and annotations is equivalent to going through the entire thinking mode of Plagueis's research over the years. This is the most precious part of these manuscripts! These manuscripts, even taking a look at them, are definitely a felony among Jedi Knights, and this is definitely not a joke.
After Tang Xiao’s reading, he understood that Plagueis’s research on the Force can be highly summarized as the “Trinity”.
He believes that the Force consists of three parts, the infinity (theaperion [Note 1]), the soul (theanima) and the spirit (andthepneuma).
Infinity represents the Unifying Force, which contains all the energy in the universe;
The soul represents the Living Force, which is the birth and creation of all life. Foundation; spirit represents the conscious thought expressed in the Force and is the consciousness of all things.
Plagues believes that as long as he can start from these three aspects, he can decipher the mysteries of life and the Force, thereby directly creating life, and even allowing himself to achieve immortality.
Because midi-chlorians are the essence of thousands of creatures in the galaxy, as long as he can master midi-chlorians, he can do anything.
According to the manuscript records, Darth Plagueis conducted an experiment about 10 years ago. He contacted the spirits of living creatures throughout the galaxy through the resonance of midi-chlorians, and then through the powerful Force It set off a tidal wave all over the galaxy, hoping to create a force life through this.
However, the result of the experiment was nothing. Darth Sidious was also there at the time. The two waited for a few days and found that there was no change in the Force, so they considered the experiment a failure. But Plagueis still carefully recorded the results of this experiment. Later, because he was worried that such a big move would be discovered by the Jedi Order, this kind of experiment was never done again.
When he saw this, Tang Xiao's heart was beating fast, because if we extrapolate according to time, 10 years ago happened to be the time when the chosen son, Anakin Skywalker, was born!
Anakin Skywalker has no father, and was conceived out of thin air by his mother Shmi Skywalker, and Tang Xiao also knew that if he checked the density of midi-chlorians in Anakin Skywalker's body , this number will be a terrifying 20,000! !
If the density of midi-chlorians exceeds 15,000, it can be said to be a pure force life, while the density of Anakin exceeds 20,000. This number really has no other adjective other than terrifying.
He remembered a previous statement that the birth of Anakin Skywalker actually originated from Darth Plagueis's experiment of using the Force to create life. But this statement is still untenable. No matter how talented Darth Plagueis is, the gap between him and Anakin Skywalker is still very huge. He does not have the ability to create someone like Anakin Skywalker. existence.
Darth Plagueis also wrote a special manuscript for this statement of the Chosen Son, which shows that he also has a lot of research. After all, this is a very ancient Force prophecy, and may also be related to the life and death of the Jedi Order and the Sith.
Plagueis first believed that the term 'prophecy' was nonsense. It was just a conclusion drawn by the sages through their observation of the ways and laws of the operation of the Force. There was no need to be so mysterious.
In other words, just like weather forecasting, I observe changes in airflow to predict weather conditions, and the same is true for this prediction. Plagueis believed that as long as he could control the midi-chlorians, the Chosen One would be nothing more than insignificant.

[Note 1: aperion is a Greek word, which means unlimited and infinite, which means infinite. I am particularly grateful to my book friend General Kalani for his support and the Southern Soldiers for their great answers. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to explain this. 】
PS: These two chapters are so difficult to write! ! Regarding the concept of the Force, I tried to touch it as little as possible in the previous chapters, just because I was worried that everyone would get dizzy after reading it. However, after 300 chapters of preparation, I believe everyone has already had some understanding of this world, so at this time, I will start from the beginning. Let me explain to you what the Force is from the perspective of Darth Plagueis.
After all, this theory is also the basis of the future protagonist Tang Xiao's strength, because he will be the orthodox successor of Darth Plagueis.
