Chapter 278: Satellites
"I always knew that you wouldn't have any difficulty breaking through the purple robe, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. "Supreme Council," Magnay said to Kaichi.
"Some time ago, you just broke through, and you faced the threat of the Doomsday God Cult, so I didn't say much to you, but now that you are free, I will tell you about the things you should pay attention to after becoming a purple-robed mage. ”
Jia Yi followed Magnay to his laboratory and listened to him continue: "Each mage has a different cognitive world after becoming a purple-robed mage, but most mages' cognition is the starry sky, so our cognitive world is often called the cognitive starry sky, or the destiny starry sky, but it does not mean that the cognitive world must be the starry sky, forests, grasslands, or lakes and oceans. It's just that since the establishment of modern magic, the cognitive world is the starry sky has slowly become the mainstream, and other types of cognitive worlds that were originally scarce are now becoming more and more rare, almost extinct, can you understand why?"
Jia Yi thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Is it because the starry sky is the most common, and the laws of celestial motion are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so when we understand the construction of the world, we will spontaneously use this as a template." ”
He carefully recalled the feeling he felt when he was promoted to the purple robe, there was no conscious control at that time, and naturally the core of the cognitive world became a huge sun, and then the rest of the world automatically built a planet, revolving around the middle sun.
"What you said is basically not wrong, mountains, rivers, oceans, forests and lakes all have geographical restrictions, only the starry sky above our heads can be seen by any creature looking up. And when Isaac proposed the three laws of motion and gravitation, he summed up the laws of celestial motion, and from then on the motion of the stars became predictable. And when all mage apprentices first come into contact with magic, the first thing they come into contact with is this knowledge, which is deeply ingrained in their minds, so it is easy to turn into a starry sky when their cognition is solidified. If it is an elf, then the probability of knowing that the world is a forest is higher than that of a mage, and the same is true for the sea tribe in the sea.
"The cognitive world is closely related to a person's growth and cognition, representing a certain magical quality of a person, which cannot be modified, you may be able to deceive yourself, but you cannot deceive your cognitive world. Everyone's cognition will be different, and you must remember to keep your own cognitive world secret and do not disclose it to others. If there is any unusual change in your cognitive world, it is important to be aware that it is likely to be a sign of contamination or cognitive faltering. ”
There must be a core in the cognitive world, which is called the main star of destiny, and many times, the spells of the prophecy system are related to this main star, and it is only at the level of purple robes that this kind of thing finally has a little accuracy.
After saying this, he took out a notebook with an old cover and handed it to Kaichi: "This is my research note from when I didn't become a legend before, you can take it and take a look." Now that you have enough arcane points, you can go to the library and borrow some related books to see, your research scope is more complicated, and the more energy you need to spend in this step. You can also visit my private library. ”
The reward for Kaichi's mission at that time was that he could go to Magnay's private library to borrow books, but then he went to Elven Island, and this reward was not used much later.
"When it comes to the purple-robed mage, learning is not the main thing, the most important thing is magic research, if there is not some constructive research, then it will be very difficult to go further. It's not too difficult for you, though, and you've always done a good job of it. ”
Every purple-robed mage has reached the boundary of a certain aspect of magic, just like a doctor, almost everything that should be studied at this time has already been learned, and the next thing to do is to break through this boundary, if the breakthrough is big enough, you can become a legendary mage.
As soon as he mentioned the movement of celestial bodies, Kaichi suddenly asked curiously: "Your Excellency, the movement of celestial bodies has been verified to be correct, so has anyone been to a nearby planet, or is it the moon?"
Magnay suddenly stopped talking, and after a while he said, "This is indeed a good question, there are not a few mages who think the same way as you, and Mage Isaac has actually tried many times, but they have all failed. Although the legendary mage was able to survive in space, it didn't last too long, and he could only jump to the calculated location through the teleportation array, but he failed to see the moon after jumping through the teleportation circle many times. ”
"Why?" Jia Yi was very surprised, since he could jump in the teleportation array, theoretically he shouldn't fail, even if he jumped a few more times, after all, there are a lot of probes launched to the moon and Mars on the earth, and they are all launched by rockets, and there is no such thing as a teleportation array.
"If I knew the reason, Isaac wouldn't be so distressed. Magnay laughed, and Kaichi said a rare stupid remark, "Isaac even wanted to change to a larger star and teleport to Mars, but this distance was too far and unsafe, so we dissuaded it." And neither the church nor the elves wanted Isaac to really reach the planet, and then it was gone. ”
Elves also believe in gods, although not as fanatical as the church, but more religious, the moon is also considered to be a part of the elven god line, the elf god is also called the goddess of the moon, of course, it does not want people to blaspheme the gods.
The pursuit of planets is not exclusive to modern magic, and in the classical era of magic, there were many mages who wanted to reach the planet, and the moon that was considered the closest to the planet at their feet was the most suitable object. It's just a pity that not a single one succeeded.
This is also considered to be proof of the existence of miracles, and the gods do not want to be disturbed by mortals.
Kaichi doesn't believe in this at all, but it's clear that there's still a lot to be done on this point.
"Actually, why don't we make a planet ourselves?"
"Build your own?"
"Yes, if you make a small satellite and put it in a calculated orbit, if this satellite can orbit the planet smoothly, wouldn't it be the strongest proof of gravity?"
"It's a good idea, I'll tell him when Isaac comes back, and he'll be happy. Magnay instantly understood Jiayi's thoughts, a little excited, and he felt a burst of relief at the thought of being able to slap the elves and the church in the face.
Although elves are barely allies, even legendary mages are sometimes unaccustomed to elven arrogance - while no elves will show their arrogance to legendary mages, who has not grown up from weakness.
After a while, Jia Yi took out a paper and handed it over, Magnay took it and felt a little surprised when he saw it: "This is your paper with your own students?
Most of the time, the assistants who give the mage in the laboratory can mix two or three works is already very good, and there are very few that are listed as common works. This almost shows that their contribution to this paper is more than that of everyone else in the institute. Because there is no such thing as a corresponding author, unless Jiayi, the leader of the laboratory, voluntarily gives up, he is naturally a work.
"Yes, this is an extension of the study of cathode rays, which we call X-rays because this ray is a newly discovered ray that is very penetrating and unknown in many ways. We made a picture of it with a photosensitive agent that allows us to see through the human body. This is almost what Travis discovered independently while they were studying cathode rays. ”
Magnay flipped through the paper, which contained a black-and-white image made of photosensitive potions, on which was a structural diagram of a hand, and the bones were clearly visible.
"I can't imagine that in addition to your own research on magic, you are also so good at educating students. ”
Magnay sighed a little, this is a common problem of almost all mages, and it is not outstanding for teaching students, and legendary mages are even worse.
The legendary mage Ian O'Lane, who is known as an educator and the honorary dean of many colleges, is not very good at teaching students, but has made great contributions to the construction of the academy and other aspects.
