Chapter 42: The Spear of the Star and Moon (Part II)
The papyrus and clay plate on his desk attracted his idea, and the astrologer's apprentice sat down and began to study the drawings of the magic circle drawn by the Adventist, and it took him ten minutes to tease out the outline of the circle from the very different images, and the demon adopted a very different method of drawing, very cleverly using a plane figure in a certain direction to represent the three-dimensional structure of the magic circle, which Jonah had never encountered in his school life, and was more sophisticated than any of the drawings in the geometry textbook.
"Demons. I don't know for what reason, Jonah cursed jealously and admiringly, the projection method is a relatively easy to master geometric drawing method, half an hour later, the astrologer apprentice basically mastered the ability to use the front projection and side projection to express the three-dimensional structure, and also successfully understood the operation of the magic array engraved on the pottery plate, the subtlety of the magic array design made him amazed, many of which are energy transfer, nature transformation, accumulation, diversion, acceleration, The superb design method of the vortex part made Jonah feel that a new window had opened in front of him, and the field that had never been talked about in the book was infinitely extended in front of him, and the use of the energy of the magic array in the star array would not further improve the efficiency of the star array, once this idea came to mind, it turned into an irrepressible impulse, Jonah quickly spread out the papyrus, and drew the shape of the "scorching ray" star array with a quill pen,
This star array is the first offensive star array in the astrologer's introductory textbook "The First House Thirty Star "Bear" and the Seventh House Seven Star "Small Boat" Starline Primary Practical Application", one of the simplest energy radial star arrays, and it is also the most proficient skill that Jonah has mastered, he knows every curve of this star array well, and can accurately draw the structure of the star array with his eyes closed, but now he depicts the outline of the "scorching ray" again, and a new feeling rises in his heart,
Four radiations guide the flow direction of the power of the stars, five concentric circles play the role of collecting energy step by step, two wave-like auxiliary lines are set according to the wavelength of the 130-77 interstellar line, the purpose is to calm the free energy and reduce the load of the star array, the input part of the scorching ray star array is composed of the above parts, Jonah scratched the tip of his nose with a quill pen, "This is simply verbose, why hasn't it been discovered before." He muttered to himself, spreading out another piece of papyrus, dipping it in ink, and after thinking hard, he drew an improved input part structure: three intertwined three-dimensional spirals copied from the input end of the Sand Thief King's magic array, followed by a simple Gilberto spiral, and the input part that took into account both efficiency and stability was completed.
"I don't know if it's going to work. The astrologer's apprentice looked at the figure on the paper, and his heart was a little worried,
Thousands of star arrays in textbooks are the crystallization of the experience of previous astrologers, if an astrologer's published star array through the association's review, appear in the journal, textbooks, and even in the classics of the astrologer association, it will be a great honor, Mr. Koshava's attack star array "Light of Judgment" and anti-gravity star array "Tower of Babel" are both included in the highest authoritative work of the astrologer association's "Astrology Code".
Whether it was a good idea to improve the existing star array, Koshawar, who was considered a heretic by traditional astrologers, agreed, "Don't be fooled by the old pedants who talk on paper, young man. The old man once taught Jonah, "As a practical astrologer, the only way to do this is to go through many attempts, improvements, experiments, Failure is the only way to make progress, the study of the star array is changing with each passing day, the works of the predecessors are not the saints crucified, no star array is perfect, you must dare to overthrow all unreasonable things, challenge the authority,,, even if it is the precious legacy left by the first teacher, the astrologer association refuses to publish works that are improved on the basis of the existing star array, but you have to understand, young man, astrologers are not the marionettes of the association, think about what to do for yourself, one day, you can find the answer by yourself, now, go and brush my boots cleanγ β
Jonah shook his head and shook the image of the teacher out of his head, he completed a partially modified scorching ray star array on the second papyrus, filed the copper powder according to the method of the Adventist, and covered the star array lines on the paper with metal powder to increase the conductivity, although the paper was a bad conductor of energy, it was still possible to barely complete a small power launch, Jonah held down the improved input with his left hand, held back the tension in his heart, closed his eyes, and flicked the 130-77 starline,
The orange-red energy was scattered, and the three spirals immediately greedily sucked in the energy, sending the power of the stars into the Gilberto spiral, and the energy containing the scorching breath was quickly compressed. Purifying, flowing along the copper wire to the center of the star array, and finally shot out through the output part, Jonah felt his palm tingle, and a small explosion blew up the air current, bounced his left hand high, and an extremely subtle but surprisingly bright orange ray shot out of the papyrus, piercing the cabin, and with a thud it did not enter the wooden wall, leaving a small burn mark, and at the same time, the star array on the paper collapsed due to the carrier, bursting into a cloud of sparks and green smoke,
"You really can. The astrologer shook his left hand, his eyes glowing brightly, he didn't expect the experiment to go so smoothly, the improved "Scorching Ray" fired faster, the energy was more refined, and the power was more concentrated, and only a small change in the input part brought such a big improvement, which gave Jonah great encouragement, he tore the charred papyrus twice, and bowed his head energetically to improve the star array,
The good luck didn't continue, and after a few minutes the trouble came, after the input, the center, and the output were all drastically improved, the test launch of the star array failed, and the whole paper was on fire, if it wasn't for Jonah covering the table with a thin quilt in time, it almost caused a fire, he coughed and shook the thin quilt, blew away the scorched shredded paper, and looked for the cause in confusion,
β...... I get it...... Each star array is a very harmonious whole, and any slight change can cause problems of balance, leading to all kinds of anomalies......" After a long period of research, the reason finally surfaced, only the second test launch of the scorching ray star array that only improved the input part failed, it seems that the first success was just an accidental phenomenon, the more changes, the lower the stability, this discovery made Jonah very frustrated, he threw the quill on the table, stretched his waist, and moved his neck, the star array left by the astrologer predecessors has been tempered thousands of times, and it is indeed a difficult thing to improve according to his own knowledge,
The astrologer's apprentice didn't rest for long, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed in his heart made him force himself to continue working, trying to make himself stronger, and for the rest of the day, he sat at the little table, scrap paper after scrap paper being torn apart, and the rays of success or failure illuminated the cabin again and again,
As the moon rises and sets, Danny brings dinner and lights a lime lamp, intricate lines flow on the yellowed papyrus, and the tip of the quill pen is wet and dry. Dry and wet; Hannah gently walked into the cabin, extinguished the lights, and covered the sleeping Jonah with a thin quilt in the first light of dawn; the first test shot of the overhauled star array made the astrologer apprentice ecstatic, and he wanted to jump up to celebrate, but he tripped over his numb legs and fell to the floor with a thud, frightening Danny who walked in to deliver lunch; when the launch rate of the nova array exceeded 60%, the golden Mattraktili sank into the sky again,
"Today's macaroni is my best, how does it taste, cargo friend. Danny sat beside him and asked, "Good, good." The eyes did not look at the food on the plate or the chef who longed for recognition, Jonah wrote and drew on the paper with his right hand, ignoring Danny's aggrieved eyes, before he fell asleep leaning against the wall in exhaustion, Jonah had basically determined the geometry of the nova array, adjusted the three parts without gaps, and the launch success rate was close to 89%, and someone in the haze came to his side and helped him lie down on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, extinguished the light, and a faint fragrance came from the end of his nose, and Jona thought to himself half-asleep, Hannah? Beneath Stewart's cold exterior lies an empathetic heart......
"Hey, cargo friend, get up, you must go out and have a look. Danny rumbled down the stairs, shouting as he ran,
"Well, it's dawn......" Jonah rubbed his eyes and sat up, the light came from the porthole, it was the morning of a new day, and before he knew it, two days had passed, and in these two days, he had not left this small cabin except for going to the toilet, and thinking of the results of last night's research, the astrologer apprentice couldn't help but lift the thin quilt and jump up, and shouted back at Danny, "You have to see my results first, I finally succeeded." β
"What a success, these things you drew on paper, don't joke about the quilt in the future, the day before yesterday you made the quilt scorched and black, or I went to wash it, take care of the mood of the sailor-cook-cleaner. The boy of the Stewart family grumbled, and stood in the middle of the room with his arms folded: "Okay, okay, look at yours first, then mine." β
"Wait a minute. Jonah hurriedly rummaged through the table, found the papyrus with the finalized new star array, spread it flat on the small table, pressed the star array input with his left hand, and grabbed the staff Sirafina with his right hand: "Danny, you get out of the way, beware of injury." β
"Cut, just the little bit of movement you made. Danny looked back at the small hole in the wall and pouted,
"This time was different. Jonah grinned, and with the help of the power of Syracina, he tossed the starline, and then activated the new star array,
"Buzzing ......" lit up with an orange glow in the geometric shape of copper powder, making a low sound, Danny looked curiously, and suddenly a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, a scorching wind swept past his ears, and the whole field of vision was filled with dazzling bright red light,
"It's no longer a 'scorching ray'. Jonah proudly looked at the stunned Danny and the three deep smoking holes in the bulkhead arranged in an equilateral triangle, and said, "From this day forward, I will name it the 'Mushroom Farm Trident' in honor of my chief chamber master, my most loyal knight,...... Toba, are you okay. β
