Mana Static Boundary...... Turpospheric ......

Gawain is not well-versed in these concepts, but he is not unfamiliar with them.

As early as more than a thousand years ago, the scholars of the Gondor Empire tried to understand the sky above their heads, and summed up a lot of valuable knowledge - in this world where magic dominates everything, scholars have stratified the atmosphere according to the comprehensive consideration of the magical environment and the physical structure of the atmosphere. It exists only in the theoretical steady-state limit layer and in conjecture in outer space.

The static realm of magic is the area where almost all creatures on this planet live and can be touched, it extends from the ground upwards, to an altitude of about 13,000 meters, in this area, the magical environment is stable, and the atmospheric movement is relatively orderly, whether it is the realm of mortals or the birds and beasts of nature, they are immersed in this gentle drizzle of magic cradle, mortals' magical civilization is prosperous, and the birds and birds in the sky are flying freely.

From the static level of magical power, the planet began to reveal a different appearance - the magical environment in the air suddenly became fierce, and the magic readings skyrocketed, making this area a "rich zone of energy", but this abundant energy was turbulent, and the ubiquitous magical storm made the turbulence extremely dangerous, and no mortal could live to draw magic from this boiling sea of energy - and no ordinary bird could fly at this height. It is said that only a few powerful beasts and dragons of the more or less legendary race can soar in the turbulent layer, but they cannot stay for long.

The Turbulence Sphere is the highest point where the Magus of the former Gondor Empire can directly observe and "touch" through technical means, and then go up...... It is the steady-state limit layer that exists only in the theories of scholars.

Scholars of the ancient empire believe that the entire planet is "immersed" in the high-energy environment of the universe, and it is the interaction between the magnetic field and magic of the planet itself to form some kind of "protection", and this protective force forms a compressed "thin shell" at the top of the atmosphere, which fiercely confronts various forces in outer space, forming a rapid and harsh, endless storm, it is the limit state of "magic" that mortals can understand and master, and it is the frontier of this planetary order, and the steady-state limit layer may be very thin. But even legendary dragons struggle to defy this barrier.

And what does the broader "outer space" look like beyond the steady-state limit layer...... Even the incomparably advanced scholars of the ancient Gondor Empire could only imagine it.

With this inherited knowledge in his mind, Gawain couldn't help but sigh softly.

Even after so many years, even if he has become accustomed to life here, the strange rules of this world will still remind him over and over again - this is not the earth, this is not the earth......

"Your Majesty, we will one day solve the turbulence puzzle," Carmel misunderstood Gawain's sigh and immediately stepped forward and said, "The magic web and the anti-gravity mechanism have more potential than we thought, and the scholars of the Gondor period have encountered the problem of the limit of flesh and blood and the power supply of the Deep Blue Well before the turbulence level, but the magic technology is often very effective in solving such problems......"

"No, I'm not sighing about this," Gawain shook his head knowing that the other party had misunderstood, but he didn't know how to explain it, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "I'm just sighing a little...... We knew so much in Gondor......"

"yes...... We used to be so glorious...... However, everything has gone with the tide of demons," Gawain sighed, and Kamel couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, "Now that time has passed, a lot of knowledge has become fragments scattered all over the world...... But the good thing is that we have managed to collect some of them and have managed to make some developments, at least ...... I can now tell students at school every eight days what planets are and what orbits are, and these things that were once known to everyone in the Gondor Empire are now back in people's ears. ”

Hearing Kamel's words, Gawain immediately raised his eyebrows: "I know that Santis invited you to give a lecture at the school - how is the effect?" ”

"Outside of the lab, I still often scare people by the way I look—last week a Grey Elf lady saw me walk into class and even jumped out of the window," Carmel said, with a hint of a smile, "but overall it went well. The students at Imperial College are more inquisitive than I thought, and when it comes to knowledge...... They are curious. ”

"Curiosity...... It's the most precious trait of human beings," Gawain said with a smile, "and as long as there are these curious people, we will always move forward." ”

……

Curiosity is the most precious trait of human beings.

The sun was setting below the horizon, and a faint red glow spread along the rolling hills in the distance, spreading over the heights of Palamel, and the camp was already lit up, and the bright magic crystal lamp was brighter than any candle flame of the old days—it lit up the camp at this moment of sunset, and the light stretched from the outpost not far away, until it shone on Morgan Hugo's table.

The white-haired old man slowly stroked his fingers over the paper spread out on the table, his lips moving silently, and beside him, a dozen pieces of scratch paper and a dozen quills flew in the air, constantly performing various complex calculations and records, pale blue runes flowed between the paper and the bookcase, and the rustling of writing gently echoed in the room.

Then, the busy work of calculations came to an end, and the scratch paper and quill fell methodically on the two wide desks next to it, while Morgan Hugo looked up in the direction of the depths of the camp.

As night fell, the lighted camp saw a large pile of materials piled up on the construction site and some of the facilities that had been built - an extraordinarily large building frame stood in the center of all the facilities, it had a cylindrical body, its base and the first floor were partially completed, and the steel frame above the second floor stood silently in the gradually diffuse night, and the bright construction site lights shone on the craggy steel skeleton from all sides, and the lights were shining brightly. Many figures can be seen still shaking, as well as moving construction machinery - the builders are still busy, busy adding flesh to the skeleton of this giant.

After looking at it for a while, Morgan Hugo couldn't help but turn the corners of his mouth up, and wrinkles converged into a happy smile on his face.

Magic Technique ...... Good stuff indeed.

It would have been difficult to build a structure of this magnitude in such a short period of time in the old ways - even if the mages were to do it themselves, it would be difficult for the mages who often needed to rest to compare to the machines that never slept and were so powerful.

"Mentor," a voice came from behind him, interrupting the old mage's thoughts, "I have already brought you the information you need. ”

Morgan turned his head to see a middle-aged mage standing in the doorway as his apprentice and assistant, with many of the sorted books floating in front of him.

"Put it on the second shelf on the left, and don't mess with anything else," Morgan casually instructed, "and take the drawings on the desk on the right, and give them to Mr. Fisher in the camp." ”

"Yes, Mentor." The middle-aged mage responded immediately, and then began to get busy as instructed.

"What a great place...... Morgan retracted his gaze from his apprentice and looked out the window at the night sky, where the master astrologer from Saint-Sunil could not help but sigh softly before the first stars gradually appeared, "The sky is much clearer than Saint-Sunil...... Alas, after hundreds of years of time have passed, the sky of the old royal capital is no longer as suitable for stargazing as it was at the beginning, and it seems to be the right decision to abandon it and start over in a different place. ”

At this moment, the middle-aged mage had already placed those materials according to the teacher's request, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, "But...... This place is too close to Typhon. It is said that there has been a conflict in the Paramel Heights before, isn't it a little unsafe here? ”

Morgan Hugo immediately frowned and glanced at the apprentice: "Didn't your curiosity and spirit of exploration of the unknown give you a little courage?" ”

The middle-aged mage suddenly became nervous: "I...... That's not what I meant......"

"Forget it, I know you," Morgan snorted after a reprimand, his tone less stern, "I know you're worried about my old bones...... But I'm not as useless as you think. ”

As he spoke, the old mage couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It's true that this place is close to the border, and our relationship with Typhon was indeed tense before, but this is the best location in the entire southeast region, and there is no way to do it.

"The magic envelops the entire planet, and the elemental forces in the atmosphere are enveloped in magic, resulting in a 'polarized lensing effect' that interferes with the vision of those of us who are observers, so the 'windows' that are naturally suitable for observing the stars are precious. No matter how advanced the magic skills or advanced observation equipment is, it can only be multiplied when the 'window' is suitable, and according to my calculations...... This is the perfect window.

"Of course, there are also good windows on the side of Baisha Lake and the Frostwind Hills, and there will be an observatory there in the future, but ......"

When Morgan said this, he suddenly laughed, and his face bloomed with the brilliance of a young man: "As the best stargazer in this country, of course I want to stand on the best observatory!" ”

The gray-haired old mage was full of pride and confidence, which even sounded a bit harsh and arrogant to the laity who did not know the truth, but the middle-aged mage as an apprentice had long been familiar with it - he knew his mentor's temperament, and when facing the field he was good at, when facing things related to the "starry sky", this usually calm and respectable old mage would be like this.

"According to the current progress, the lens group of the main observatory can be installed before the end of this month," feeling the mentor's high spirits, the middle-aged mage also relaxed, he recalled the news he heard during the day, and said with a smile, "I heard that the first batch of enchanted crystals has been roughly polished in the crystal casting factory in Gülen, and will soon be sent to Tamdur for fine grinding and rune inscription by magic train, and the No. 1 power spine of the observatory was also assembled yesterday, and it seems that it is currently being done...... Oh, and the stress test, which is said to be sent from Kant's factory next week. ”

Listening to the good news brought by the apprentice, a smile first appeared on Morgan's face, and then there was a little more emotion in the smile, the wrinkles on the old mage's face stretched, and he suddenly whispered: "Age of Empires, ......"

The middle-aged mage didn't hear clearly for a while: "What did you say?" ”

"Remember that stargazing tower we had in Saint-Sunil?"

"Ah, of course I remember," the middle-aged mage nodded immediately, followed by a look of regret, "It's a pity...... When the city shield collapsed, the mana surged inward, and the runes and mana pools of the entire tower were melted down......"

"yes, that old fellow has been in the service for too long...... It should have rested many years ago, but at that time each of us would have only regarded the tinkered runestones as treasures," Morgan sighed, "Master Carmel said when he persuaded me to leave Saint Sunil, and he said that I could see more than the stars in the sky in the age of magicians...... Now I kind of understand what he means. ”

The apprentice just looked at it inexplicably.

Obviously, he hasn't understood yet.

But soon, the apprentice remembered something else and said happily: "By the way, mentor, there is good news for you. ”

"Huh?" Morgan raised an eyebrow, "What news?" ”

"There is definite information that the Paramel Observatory will increase the funds for the first phase - to speed up the construction of the main building and to install more advanced equipment," said the apprentice, a smile on his face, "it is said that it was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself......

"His Majesty the Emperor's personal order......" Morgan was stunned for a moment, and then a smile slowly floated up, "Good thing, good thing......"
