Chapter 1300 Fall In!
Morgan seems to have been ignited with fierce fighting spirit. This old scholar who was born in the ranks of the old Ansu court mages once thought that he was already a person who was indifferent to everything. The enthusiasm when facing new things has never faded. The last time he felt that his enthusiasm was burning was when the Paramer Observatory was just completed.
At that time, he observed for the first time a starry sky that was several times wider than what he had seen before through the modern enchanted lens group and automatic calibration array. The recording equipment of the new era crunched and spit out real-time parameters from other astronomical observation points beside him, He was as excited as he is today when the greetings from the imperial capital came from the communication terminal and a whole era came crashing down.
In all fairness, his resistance to the conjecture mentioned in that awkwardly worded and naive essay is actually not as strong as he expressed, although the content of the conjecture is too unimaginable and seriously violates ordinary people's understanding of the world. I know, but as an old scholar who has explored the mysteries of magic for most of his life, he knows that there are many "truths" in this world that run counter to people's intuitive perception. The "fluctuation conjecture" is also outrageously excessive, especially the "theoretical support" part, which is simply unacceptable to a rigorous and traditional scholar like Morgan.
Only based on an extended interpretation of the nature of magic fluctuations, only based on guesses about some phenomena, and based on only one "observation result" that cannot be replicated by others and has not left any traces of records, such a bold assumption is made on the cornerstone of the entire world Although the whole conjecture was finally internally consistent, Morgan did not agree with many premises of this conjecture.
Even if the person who proposed this set of conjectures is called "Mirmina", it is not acceptable to add the name of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Then it seems that you don't intend to duel with me anymore," Benjamin couldn't help showing a smile on his face when he saw his old friend's sudden fighting spirit. He drank the last bit of cold tea in his cup and bowed his head again. Glancing at the magazines spread out on the table, the corners of his mouth still couldn't help twitching. Obviously, this thing was still not easy for him to accept, but he didn't have the urge to post a rebuttal immediately like Morgan. He just shook his head and stood up from the chair, "This thing makes me dizzy. You can continue to study here. I'm going to the lens array to adjust my brain."
"I'll go with you. The content of this article can't be finished in a short while," Morgan also got up and said, "The observation conditions for the past two days have been very good, and we can just complete the Frost Sky Constellation." The re-measurement of the sixteen dark stars around, the data brought out from San Sunil are too old, and it is not an easy job to correct all the missing and wrong places in it.”
The two astrology masters were talking and walking towards the "Focus Platform" in the center of the rotunda, but at this moment, an assistant standing beside the Focus Platform suddenly ran towards them, and the young man had a smile on his face. With a nervous and confused look: "Two masters, come and take a look at the picture, suddenly something is not normal!"
Benjamin and Morgan glanced at each other subconsciously, then quickly followed behind the assistant to the focus platform
This so-called focus platform is actually the end observation device of the observatory's main lens group. The crystal is filled with a special alchemy solution, which can resonate with the lens group directly above and the rune array floating above the observatory, and accurately project the starry sky observed by the main lens onto the crystal surface, and through the platform Some surrounding manipulation devices, the images projected in the crystal can also be zoomed, recorded, or switched to the magic field of view.
In essence, the function and principle of this observation device are similar to the magic device used by the Royal Observatory of Saint-Sunil.
However, precise and efficient modern technology makes the mechanically driven lens group and the focus crystal powered by the magic net have far more stability and improvement space than before. For Morgan, this thing is better than what he used in the old king. Older antiques are much better.
He came to the edge of the platform and looked at the focus crystal embedded in the center of the platform and protected by a layer of transparent shell. His assistant stood in front of the control terminal on the side, adjusting the huge, sophisticated and complicated device on the upper floor of the observatory. , accompanied by the sound of machinery running and the buzzing sound of magic power flowing through the magic guide structure, the old mage saw dark ripples appearing on the surface of the focus crystal, and the ripples gradually calmed down to look like the night sky. In that black curtain, however, faint blue phantoms can be seen around each star, and the entire sky background seems to be covered with subtle but annoying, hair-like dim lines.
"It suddenly became like this just now," another assistant said nervously, "At that time, Berkner and I were adjusting the projection arm of the magic filter, and we wanted the filter to be superimposed on the main lens group. Many times, never had a problem, and this time there is no problem, the system is normal, all the mechanical arms are in the predetermined position and angle, and the rune array has no error, but the screen suddenly becomes like this, no matter how you adjust it, it is useless "
"You didn't touch the main lens? Any mechanical collision or slight scratch?" Benjamin frowned and asked very seriously.
"No, we can be sure," the assistant said hastily, "In fact, after the system was adjusted in place, the picture was still normal for a few seconds, and then no one moved it, and it suddenly became like this."
"Strange." Benjamin frowned and turned to look at Morgan, "I've never seen this kind of failure before. If the lens group is damaged, the defects on the screen should not evenly cover the entire crystal. If it is a non-solid filter Faulty, the rune array should call the police, do you want to go to the dome to check?"
Morgan frowned and said nothing from just now. It wasn't until Benjamin finished speaking that the old mage looked up thoughtfully at the open roof above the observatory. Then he lightly stamped his feet, The whole body soared into the air, flying towards the direction of the huge lens device.
After a short while, the old mage flew out of the roof. He floated in the cold night sky, his eyes sharply scanning the lenses, crystals, rune substrates supported by the mechanical arms, and the translucent layer covering the whole set of equipment. The barrier, and soon Benjamin also flew out of the observatory, floating in the air beside Morgan.
"What's the matter, do you see something wrong?" Benjamin asked casually while looking at the device below.
"There is no problem with the lens group," Morgan said in a deep voice, and then slowly raised his head to look at the sky. In the clear and deep night, the sky was full of stars twinkling. "There is a problem with the sky."
"The sky!?" Benjamin was taken aback, but he looked up and looked around the sky, only to see the twinkling stars as usual, "What's wrong with the sky?"
"Magic vision," Morgan reminded in a low voice. At the same time, a layer of light blue light appeared in his eyes. The old mage raised his head and slowly scanned the clear and cloudless night. In the special eyes with magic power, a hazy layer of dense "cloud network" that seems to be formed by countless criss-crossing mist is covering the sky above the earth, and those hazy and illusory rays of light present a very shallow blue Colors are completely invisible to the eyes of ordinary people, and even mages must have extremely keen observation skills to vaguely see a trace of them.
Benjamin also switched to the magic horizon under the reminder of Morgan. After carefully identifying it for a long time, he finally noticed the things floating in the sky, which surprised him: "What is that?! Is it some kind of huge structure among the stars? ?”
"No, it's in our atmosphere. If you look carefully, it passes through the top of the mountain on the west side," Morgan said seriously. "These things seem to have risen from the depths of the earth and floated in mid-air. They interfered with us. astronomical equipment"
Benjamin blinked vigorously, trying to see more clearly while muttering: "This thing looks really evil, I have never encountered such a situation in my life, should we report this to the imperial capital?"
"Of course we have to report, and immediately," Morgan said, but just in the middle of his words, the net of clouds and mist floating in the sky suddenly disappeared, as if shattered from a dream, leaving no trace.
The old mage subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and his eyes full of magic power scanned the night sky over and over again. However, except for the clear night sky and the sky full of stars, he could no longer find the "foreign objects" he saw just now.
A broadcasting device near the roof of the observatory rang, and the voice of one of the assistants came out: "Masters, the picture is back to normal! Did you repair the lens group?"
Benjamin and Morgan looked at each other and they haven't done anything yet.
"I didn't do anything! I just fish here every day!" The sea monster with long lavender hair floated in the sea water condensed from pure water elements, while waving the light wave war blade in his hand. He hurriedly said to the officer who came to inspect the situation, "I didn't know that this thing would suddenly change its direction, and even hurt a passing elemental lord!"
"I can testify," Vera, the sentinel with long blue hair, raised the tip of her tail and said, "Koroline is the number one cube salvager here, and she has fished out a full six cubes so far! "
"I didn't ask you to testify about this!" Coroline stared at her comrade-in-arms immediately after hearing this, "I want you to testify that these flowing dark blue veins were not distorted by me!"
"Oh, then I don't dare to say it," Vera waved her hands immediately when she heard this, "I don't understand this."
"you"
"It's okay, it's okay." A "Commander Haiyuan" who came to inspect the situation couldn't help interrupting the two noisy sentries in front of him with a headache. The short-haired Mermaid Siren was personally assigned by Queen Petia to investigate a sudden injury accident that occurred near the Infinite Sea Outpost.
It is said that a dark blue vein near this outpost changed suddenly, and the greatly changed energy flow seriously injured a water elemental lord passing by nearby. It is related to "salvage" things in the veins, and in order to avoid this matter from intensifying the relationship between the sea monster and the local water element, which was finally eased, the queen sent her to investigate the situation and mediate.
Commander Haiyuan, who felt a bit big-headed, turned her head and glanced not far away. She saw that unlucky water elemental lord was still floating in the sea water. His huge elemental body was almost broken in half from the middle, and the vortex-shaped body of the lower body was now He was still twisting and trying to merge with his upper body, but no matter how he looked at it, it was difficult to keep his attention from Commander Haiyuan. The water elemental lord immediately turned his head, and the blurred face of the head showed a vicious expression. He looked like that, but apart from this vicious look, he couldn't take any action, a look that dared to speak out but could not be beaten.
And next to this elemental lord, there are also many elemental guards who dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and more lower-level water elements who dare not be angry or speak out and cannot be defeated.
Commander Haiyuan looked in another direction. It was a huge blue light stream emitting a faint blue light in the depths of the sea, flowing like a rushing river. It was the culprit that caused this incident. The "dark blue vein" near the outpost is said to be the greatest pleasure for the soldiers at the outpost every day to salvage the black cubes in this vein, but now it suddenly changed for some reason, and the water elements living nearby put It is reasonable to suspect that this matter is on the head of the sea monster.
But Commander Haiyuan thought that this might not be the responsibility of the two sentinels in front of him.
They are incapable of interfering with the operation of the "planetary power system" of the Deep Blue Webway. The unlucky water elemental lord not far away probably understands this himself.
"I heard you said that there were other changes when the pulse flow changed its direction?" The commander thought about it, and turned to look at the sentinel named Coroline, "Did it split?"
"Yes, many small tributaries suddenly spread out from the main trunk, all the way through the sea, and I don't know where they spread to," Coroline said while recalling, "But it only lasted for less than half an hour. Soon the tributaries disappeared but the main trunk remained until now after the change of direction."
"Suddenly split into many tributaries and disappeared again." Commander Haiyuan frowned and muttered, "I don't know if the deep sea witches can research anything."
Then she looked at Coroline and asked curiously: "You usually salvage the most cubes from this vein, how do you do it?"
Although she didn't think that Coroline was the cause of the change in the flow, the necessary inquiries still had to be made, and she had to adopt an investigative attitude.
"Oh, it's so simple," Coroline immediately showed a smug smile. She raised the Lightwave Warblade in her hand and said while demonstrating, "I'll just use this, and watch it by the side in advance, and wait and see." Hit it when something comes, like this"
With a vigorous wave of her hand, she poked the light wave war blade into the dark blue veins, and stirred it twice: "Extraordinary Jane"
A swift black figure suddenly appeared in the rushing blue light stream, and Coroline was so excited to explain her own unique tricks that she didn't notice that the appearance of that thing was accompanied by a loud noise, and the black object fell firmly Hitting the war blade in Coroline's hand, the sudden and huge impact made her unable to take advantage of the momentum as usual, but directly destroyed her balance in the water.
Accompanied by an exclamation, the purple-haired sea monster who was excited just a second ago fell into the surging blue light flow!
