Chapter 53: The Magic Tower's Millennial Star Map
Repeat the calculation, think about whether there is anything wrong with your program logic, and try to think about whether there are important factors that are not taken into account. When these things were done, Lin stopped doing this meaningless act. Because the final forecast has not changed much. On the contrary, the more accurate it is, and the more frightening it is.
At this time, he began to study the star map in the dining room, which had been preserved with the Great Sage Tower for thousands of years. Dismantling the magic array behind it and analyzing the meaning of each pattern, there are still many things that I don't understand. And the most important point is that this star map is different from Lin's own prediction.
The closer he was to the time of the six-star alignment, the more Lin believed in his calculations rather than the thousand-year star map. What is causing such an error?
In the thousand-year star chart, the part that Lin can understand is actually about the position and trajectory of the planets. The reason for the successful analysis is precisely because I have been pondering this part of the program during this time. And whether it is a program to a magic array, or a magic array to a program, there is a certain context to follow. As long as you get the hang of it, you understand it all.
However, in the thousand-year star map, the magic array and magic pattern about the planetary trajectory only account for a small part of the whole. The rest of the dense stuff, Lin felt familiar, but he had no clue.
It was also the complexity of this part, as well as the density of the magic patterns, that made Lin mistakenly think that it was normal for the magic tower to be arranged like this. Therefore, the difficulty of the recent transformation of the energy channel of the magic tower is far lower than the magic pattern behind this thousand-year-old star map, and Lin also sincerely admires the wisdom of the ancients in the world of the lost land.
It's just that a certain traverser doesn't know, and the original situation that a brick on the wall only has one magical power passage is a normal magic tower architectural arrangement. And the complexity of this thousand-year-old star map is also one of the reasons why the successive tower owners of the Great Sage Tower did not tear down this wall.
The previous tower owner purely felt that this wall was very eye-catching, and wanted to demolish one of them, but there was no guarantee that after destroying the wall, it would not have a bad impact on the energy transmission of other parts, so he didn't dare to do it. Or if you want to tear down the wall and rebuild it elsewhere so that you can continue to do research, there is no guarantee that it will be able to be put back together in good condition and maintain its original function. This is the reason why the Great Sage Tower has been handed down for thousands of years, and the only facility has been preserved as it is.
And this star map, which has been carefully preserved for thousands of years, is actually wrong! Is it the builder of the Tower of the Great Sage, the wisdom of the Dharma Saint Atoli in the name of the Great Sage, who is invincible to the baptism of thousands of years, or is there something else?
In fact, in the process of researching, Lin thought of a reason that he was very reluctant to admit. It was the three of them who had suspended the energy supply of the entire tower for several days in order to renovate the magic tower after they entered the tower of the great sage. Although it was discovered during the renovation process, this thousand-year-old star map wall still retains an energy supply and continues to operate. For this reason, the three masters and apprentices were surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, does the suspension of energy supply really have no effect on the star map wall? As with the Earth, power supplies can be maintained by a backup generator for ordinary electric equipment such as electric lights and elevators. However, computer equipment needs to use an uninterruptible power supply system (UPS) to maintain normal operation. Otherwise, the computer will reboot after the original power supply is interrupted and the backup power supply is switched.
So for the backup energy supply of the star map wall, is the great sage to the extent of an uninterruptible power system, or is it just a backup power supply?
In other words, the error of the thousand-year star map is not so much questioning the wisdom of the ancients thousands of years ago, but rather that it is more likely that you have messed up.
"Ah~" Lin rolled around on the floor of the core room, a little trying to escape from reality.
Anyway, if this thing is messed up, will there be any adverse effects? It shouldn't be a big deal.
But according to the 'law of Mofei'......
"Ah~~"
In order to change his mood, or to escape from reality, Lin called two little apprentices.
"It's been more than a year since you got the apprenticeship qualification. During this time, I let you teach yourself the magic of the second ring, and although you are allowed to ask me at any time, I haven't seen you ask a few times. So as a teacher, today I will assess the results of your self-study during this time. ”
With this as a start, someone begins to ravage the two little girls unscrupulously. This is completely different from the apprentice promotion exam, in order to test their students' proficiency in apprentice-level magic, the magicians in the Lost World practice completely use actual combat standards.
Generally speaking, if the teacher uses a certain magic, the apprentice must use the corresponding magic to counter or crack it. If you fail to cast a spell, you will inevitably suffer some sin. Those with a better conscience will say that they want to use the magic before starting, and the apprentice only needs to be ready and see the time to cast the spell. If you don't have a conscience, you will be treated as an additional test of personal reaction and magical knowledge.
The famous quote from the military education film I watched when I was on Earth, Lin was catchy in front of the two students: reasonable is called training, and unreasonable is called training. So now, Lin Ke is working very hard to hone his two little apprentices.
During this time, the two dogs, who were already larger than people, returned to the woods around the Great Sage's Tower. Originally, I wanted to be coquettish with my master to see if I could mix some cooked food to eat.
But when they saw that the lord of the tower, which was entrenched on the third floor, had come downstairs and was training his master, they silently retreated into the forest to find other small animals to comfort their bellies. There is no way, the shadow in the young heart is still there, and it is estimated that it will not disappear for a lifetime.
Although it is rare to practice two, the little apprentice who has gone crazy during this time, Lin still has the bottom limit of not seeing the wound and not seeing the red. It's just to make the two little apprentices embarrassed, unkempt, and eat a few mouthfuls of soil. It's not to the point where you want to kill people by breaking your hands and feet. But for girls in their early teens, the lesson is enough.
Time passed, and it was getting late. Lin looked at the two girls with tears in their eyes, biting their lower lipes, this is not the first time he has seen such expressions. As apprentices with no background and no home, the girls are already more mature than their peers, and they can clearly know that they are their greatest support. So they haven't complained about it, but that doesn't mean they won't feel wronged.
Lin felt that it was almost enough, so he sent the two girls to take a good bath and tidy themselves up. At the astronomical event in the evening, Lin Ke didn't plan to let the two girls be absent. As for dinner, it's up to me.
As a former fat house, Lin belongs to the kind that doesn't pay attention to eating at all. Something that is basically convenient and fills your stomach quickly is good food. Of course, when he is conditional, he will not abuse himself.
Tonight's event can be regarded as a long-awaited event, so Lin prepared a few good dishes to treat himself and the two girls as a condolence. As for entering the hall on the first floor of the magic tower, the two big dogs with gray hooves and white noses sticking out their tongues were ignored by someone.
However, when I saw the two dogs, they both pulled the animal skins they used to make their beds into the tower, and it seemed that they wanted to stay in the magic tower tonight. Lin then guessed in his heart that perhaps the instinct of the beasts had made them aware of the unusual situation today, so they unusually went into the tower to spend the night, instead of nesting under the shed outside the tower as in the past.
I didn't plan to serve the two dogs, but I didn't plan to drive them out. Lin just instructed the two girls to pack some travel items after dinner, put them in their backpacks and prepare. If something happens, such as a tower falling, it won't be buried in the ground.
When everything was ready, the three of them sat around the stargazing platform, roasting meat on a small stove while listening to their teacher tell the mysteries of the sky.
Nanna Moon is as complete as a mirror, hanging high in the sky. The girls took turns looking through the astronomical telescopes at the large and small craters that were faintly visible on the surface of Nanna's moon.
For the first time, Lin tried to describe his research and actions during this period in a language that even elementary school students could understand. Of course, a lot of complicated mathematical formulas and precise data are omitted, and more easily understood metaphors are used to make people understand the meaning of the unimaginably large astronomical numbers.
The two girls were not bored at all, but listened with relish. It can only be said that the entertainment of the world is too lacking, as long as it is something different from the usual, it can attract people's attention. And the child's unformed concept, in Lin's discourse through the crowd, gradually detached from the inherent ideas of the lost people.
It's impossible to talk about that thing in the sky in one night, even if it's a cut version. And as the prediction time approached, although Lin was in the stargazing room, he still turned on a few screens of water mirrors. One is to display the time, the other is the surveillance screen in the multi-grid magic tower, and the largest block of them is the thousand-year-old star map wall for the restaurant. Lin was worried that when the six stars were aligned, there would be unpredictable changes in that wall.
In addition, it is a scaled-down photosphere star map. In everyone's eyes, the six planets have entered a small sector, as if they were connected in a straight line. Lin knew that this was an illusion without a reference. If you really compare it to a line, the six planets will not obediently stay on the line.
And then the most important thing is that Lin started the video recording program. In fact, it is just to set up two more monitoring screens on the stargazing observatory and astronomical telescope. Whether it's for the sake of this astronomical spectacle in front of us or for future observations, it is imperative to retain as much and as accurate data as possible. So of course, Lin is using all the technology he has now. It is to preserve this scene that only happens once in more than 120 years.
"Teacher, look, a dark shadow has appeared in the corner of Nan Nayue." Harumi exclaimed excitedly.
Time: 11:54 p.m. The moon of Nanna, which hangs high in the middle of the sky, begins to obscure the moon of Gudalana behind it. In general, the two moons will be staggered and will not overlap. At the same time, in a small corner to the east of Nannayue, a black shadow of an arc appeared. As time progresses, the area of the Gudarana Moon decreases, while the dark shadow on the Nanna Moon increases.
The alignment of six plus two stars is about to enter the sector of the smallest angle.
At this time, the Great Sage's Tower began to shake slightly.
