Chapter 107: "Launch"

Douglas's usual evening dress has been transformed into a large, flowing gray magic robe, with countless dots and lines forming mysterious and deep patterns, and on his head he wears a matching ancient magic empire top hat, surrounded by shining crystals of different colors, like a small celestial system.

This kind of dress suddenly reminds people that Douglas is not only the founder of the Magic Council, but also one of the remnants of the ancient Magic Empire, and the aesthetic he developed in his youth is deeply engraved in his mind.

"Lucian, thank you for your proposal, after careful calculations and a complex alchemy process, I have made an artificial planet, and the next task is to send it into the intended orbit. Douglas greeted Lucian kindly, and at the same time, pressing his right hand on the storage bag, a silver-gray sphere suddenly floated in front of him.

As the product of the first experiment, this "artificial planet" is not huge, only half the size of a body, the whole body shimmers with a silver-gray metallic luster, inlaid with various gemstones, painted with complex and wonderful magic lines, and the entire sphere seems to be completely wrapped in layers of magic arrays, full of mysterious and mysterious flavor.

"So complicated?" According to Lucian's idea, for the first time, as long as the satellite can be verified to fly around the world, it will be considered as a goal, and there is no need for other functions at all, and then consider the application of communication, reconnaissance, positioning, strike, etc., otherwise, if the gravitational force of this world is really problematic, the satellite cannot be orbited normally, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

Douglas laughed, "It's not complicated, it's not complicated. The universe is full of dangers, and this magic array is resistant to low temperatures......" He patiently explained to Lucien the role of each magic array on the appearance of this silver metal ball.

Lucien shook his head disapprovingly in his heart, while listening to Douglas's explanation with relish, learning the knowledge of the magic array, and asking from time to time, and at the end, he deliberately said in a flash of inspiration: "Your Excellency, why don't you add signals to receive and relay the magic array? So that we can use electromagnetic signals on the earth to determine its condition, observe it, and provide multifaceted proof of the authenticity and reliability of the experiment." ”

"When I was alchemy, I had a similar magic circle inside it. And. The function of the main magic array is beyond your imagination, almost comparable to legendary magic. Douglas was not annoyed by Lucian's too many questions, and answered his questions very kindly.

Ruciana, who was listening next to her, asked curiously, "What is the function?"

"Hey, keep it a secret. You'll see when this experiment succeeds. Douglas smiled and looked at his three students.

Aartiel's narrow eyes looked at the "artificial planet" with a little fanaticism: "I can't wait to know the way. Can't wait to announce to those stupid guys that the teacher's theory is correct. Puncturing their illusory dreams of the 'etheric medium'. ”

"Hmph, declaring victory before the experiment even begins, you're the most idiot idiot I've ever seen. Fernando sarcastically sarcastically at Artiel. The teacher who didn't care at all was next to him, and if it was Douglas, he would say the same.

Altiel did not dare to yell at Fernando, so he could only bow his head slightly in embarrassment and accept the accusation in silence.

The Tower "Prophet" Begner also looked at Douglas with some concern: "The reason why the planet has not been discovered is very complicated, and perhaps the artificial planet cannot be observed either, Your Excellency, you must be prepared to fail, this does not completely negate the correctness of your theory." ”

He wears a tower's distinctive gray hat, his eyebrows and beard are white, and he doesn't seem to be much different from other old men except for his eyes that are as deep as the starry sky.

Because of the reminder of the "prophet", the faces of Aartiel, Ruciana, and Norman all changed slightly, could it be that the prophet had already foreseen the end of defeat through astrology, wouldn't it......

As soon as their thoughts arose, they were interrupted by Douglas, who smiled rather freely: "I have failed many times on the planetary issue, and it is not a shame and despair to add another failure record, which only shows that my theory is still imperfect, and there are factors that have not been examined, and more failures are needed to find the reason." The throne of success has always been forged by failure, and you should not see that my current strength, reputation and status are so dazzling, and forget that I have also been tested by countless failures. ”

He looked up at the illusory starry sky in the half-plane, and felt something: "The world is so vast and so profound, the deeper we explore, the more we can feel our own insignificance, what the initial scene of the world is like, and what the final destination of all kinds of questions is, we can't imagine yet." All unknown things are worthy of awe, and we can't blindly reject and resist them because we don't know the way and can't explore them, so we can't hide from afar and don't study them. ”

"If our experiment today can be successful, it will prove that we humans can also create the planet and create the world realm, but we have just taken the first step!"

Speaking of this, Douglas turned his smiling gaze to Lucian: "And all thanks to Lucian, his unfettered thinking, his ability to think backwards, freed me from the shackles of past experience."

Uh, a small step for Your Excellency the Speaker, a giant leap for humanity? Lucien had no sense of being praised, and silently whispered Douglas's words.

Fernando, noticing his student's absent-mindedness, glared at him fiercely, and then said to Douglas: "Don't be verbose, the success testimonial should wait until it is successful, otherwise it will become a joke." ”

"Prophet" Begner also smiled and explained to Aartier and the others: "What I just said is not a prophecy, but a concern for an old friend, if I want to predict Douglas, I have to prepare for at least a month before I hope that I will not be so wrong." ”

The frustration and nervousness on the faces of Artiel, Ruciana, and Norman slowly subsided, and Douglas didn't say anything, nodded slightly, put the artificial planet into the space storage bag, and activated the magic tower.

I saw that in the illusory night sky in the half-plane, the stars suddenly extinguished one after another. The mountains, the forests, the lakes, the grasslands, and the magic towers were completely wrapped in darkness that could not be seen.

Then, the white lines on the magic tower lit up, forming a complex and abnormal magic array.

As soon as the magic array was complete, the magic tower suddenly buzzed and trembled violently, and countless energies converged in the space in front of Douglas like a turbulent sea, converging into a bright and deep gate with countless constellation symbols.

"Go back to Alinge, and watch the stars. Douglas commanded, and at the same time, his powerful coercion radiated. It's like a blazing sun. It made it impossible for Lucien and the others to open their eyes, and it was difficult for them to extend their spiritual power out of the lungs.

After speaking, he used his spiritual power to push towards the starry sky gate, opening a gap. Then step in. Disappear into the darkness.

"This is ...... satellite launch," Lucien silently looked at the vanishing starry sky gate. It's so different from Earth! You don't need expensive fuel, you don't need huge rockets, you don't need ignition. Just take the satellite with a space jump and you're done.

This made Lucien deeply realize that there are many aspects of the wizarding world that are better than the earth, and many fields have easier means, but they don't know the principle very well.

Here, a Grand Arcanist is a rocket in itself, a satellite, an intercontinental missile, and its strength and glory are its own!

"To explore other planets in the distance, space jumps take two to three years to prepare, sometimes decades, while this kind of near-orbit jump only takes a few days to prepare. Fernando wasted no time explaining to Lucien about space jumping.

"Prophet" Begner looked at the crystal ball in his hand: "We go back to Alinge to observe the starry sky, and we can't miss this historic moment." In about three to five minutes, Douglas will be on his intended track. ”

Douglas will be able to reach the intended orbit...... How is this sentence a little wrong, Lucien sneered, once again had a deep understanding of the inhuman nature of the Grand Arcanist, and then returned to Alinge with Norman, Ruciana, Artiel and the others who had become silent, standing on the thirty-third floor of the headquarters and looking up at the starry sky.

Minutes and seconds passed, but the night sky did not change, and Ruciana said a little nervously, "There can't be any problems, right?"

It was as if she was asking Fernando, Begner, Lucien, and others, as well as talking to herself.

"No! there will be no problem, it's just that other things are delayed!" replied Aartiel, who was as quiet as the two legendary magicians, and whispered, "The teacher's theory is not wrong......

Lucien also looked at the sky with anticipation and concern, this was another in-depth exploration of the nature of the world.

Will it be successful?

Is it really a planet?

The stars twinkled like countless eyes, and they moved according to their orbit for eternity, as quiet as most of the nights of the past.

............

Samantha observes the trails of the stars from her stargazing platform to improve a fateful interference magic.

During the short break, she still looked at the starry sky, looking at it with pure appreciation.

"The starry sky is the most beautiful scenery in the world, full of vastness and depth, and it makes people feel awe...... "Samantha muttered as if reciting poetry.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes opened wide, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, because in the midst of this starry sky, without warning, a star lit up, a star that had never appeared before, it was so close, so dazzling, and the trajectory was so special!

"The birth of the stars?"

Samantha's mouth was completely closed.

............

The holy city of Reims.

The Pope was flipping through the books, and suddenly, he looked out the window and saw the bright star that had never been seen before, the star that illuminated half the sky, the star that competed with the sunset!

With a snap, the book in Pope Benedict II's hand fell to the ground, and he blurted out in a trance:

"New stars?"

"Who is it?!"

............

In the Alinge Magic Tower, as the stars lit up, Artiel let out a low roar, as if to vent all the frustration in his heart.

"It can really work, the teacher's theoretical system is not wrong!" Ruciana cheered with tears in her eyes.

Fernando shook his head slightly: "Lest others not see it?"

Lucien held his forehead and sighed weakly, Is the function of His Excellency Speaker's main magic array to make the "artificial planet" shine like the sun?

"But with such a magic array, this artificial satellite can't run for a few hours, if it is shot down, it will be down, and then the satellite planning with different functions can be put on the agenda. ”

"It's really a planetary ......"

............

In Rentat, in Antiphre, in Tria, in Aalto, in countless cities, day and night, many strong people, many ordinary human beings, all looked at the sky in amazement.

They had never seen the "birth of the stars"! (To be continued......
