Chapter 1582 Sunset

During the synchronous observation window that lasted about three hours, Noy and Loren conducted four deep space scans in the same direction at the same time, during which the technicians performed system resets and circuit inspections on the sensor array of the Holy Mountain. Various attempts including hard switching, and the results of all these attempts are the same... The ghostly "extra shadow" still exists, two sets of completely different observation data are superimposed, even if it is carried out on two planets In the case of synchronous observation, the error cannot be corrected.

In fact, at the end of the test, even Nuoyi's technicians began to suspect that the "extra shadow" was an error, or another real magic wave.

After many fruitless attempts, the observation window finally ended inevitably-the simultaneous scanning of Loren and Noi was forced to stop.

The clicking sound of the printing device sounded continuously, and the snow-white paper tape was slowly spit out from the printing port, on which was a message from "Witch" Nova: "The observation window is over, and we still have time to start from the second window before the second window arrives." other ways to solve the current problems encountered.

"The wise men have received the system operation data sent by Loren, and we will conduct a comprehensive analysis of it in the next few days, in order to find the reason for the abnormal value of the observation device. In addition, our super-light communication will remain normal Open, hope to exchange their progress as soon as possible."

Looking at the handwriting on the tape, Gao Wen breathed out lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Got it, the communication system on Loren's side will also remain open as usual. In addition, we will continue to carry out the process before the second window arrives." Single-star benchmark test, although the parameters observed by a single planet cannot be used to construct the barrier frequency, but we may have the opportunity to find the cause of the failure from the benchmark test.. All test data will be shared in real time. If you have any Suggestions are also welcome to contact at any time.”

The printing device was silent for a few minutes, and then finally there was a clicking sound, and the paper tape that was slowly spit out was clearly and sharply written: "Noy received it—I hope everything goes well."

"I hope everything goes well."

After the printing device and the magic network terminal gradually returned to silence, Gao Wen sighed deeply, then he stood up from behind the desk, and slowly came to the large French window, looking out the window with a heavy heart. prosperous city.

The huge sun has already passed the highest point in the sky, and it is slowly sinking westward at this moment. The surface of the huge orange-yellow sun disc has faint grain-like grains floating on its surface, forming a magnificent crown above the horizon, against the background of the sun disc Under the sky, some towers and high walls on the west side of the city turned into black silhouettes. The silhouettes overlapped, and the details near and far seemed to be covered in the cold sunlight.

The Magic Net terminal on the desk suddenly buzzed again. Hetty, who stayed in the study, took a step forward to connect to the terminal. Then Rebecca's figure appeared in the holographic projection, and the background behind her was a busy experiment room.

"Master Ancestor!" Rebecca's voice sounded in the room, "I have also roughly read the data of the last observation just now, and neither Jenny nor I can determine where the problem lies..."

"You and Jenny are waiting in the magic technology department." Gawain turned around and looked at Rebecca in the projection with a serious face. "I'll go over in person, and we'll discuss this issue together."

Then he looked up at Hetty again: "You pay attention to the news from the 'Observer Chamber', if there is any change in the observation device, please contact me directly."

After finishing the order, he left Cecil Palace directly, and went straight to the building of the Magic Energy Technology Department not far from the central administrative area, and arrived at Rebecca's office not long after, and when he arrived, Rebecca He and Jenny were already waiting here.

"There is no need to be too polite, there are no outsiders here." As soon as he entered the door, Gao Wen waved his hand to Jenny who was about to get up from behind the table, and he grabbed a chair from the side and placed it opposite Rebecca's table. Immediately afterwards, it landed on the documents that were being spread out—the documents were full of symbols, numbers and graphics, covering almost the entire table, some of which were obviously just printed observation data, while the other part seemed to be from It was taken out of the file cabinet, and the above depicts the original drawing of the magic tide observation device.

"Just now, Jenny and I dug out the original blueprint sent by the Noi people," Rebecca said quickly, "You know, in order to adapt to the environment on the planet Loren and to use the dark blue webway to build "Focus of Vibration", we have made many adjustments to the blueprint of the Nuoyi, especially the connection between the sensor array and the focus of vibration. These changes may be the reason for the abnormal results now... "

Gao Wen frowned tightly. Of course he knew about these adjustments, but he didn't think it would cause such a big problem today: "At the beginning, the Nuoyi people confirmed every change we made on the blueprint, and all adjustments were made. After repeated demonstrations by all experts on the two planets, it is ensured that the normal operation and observation accuracy of the observation device will not be affected. In theory, today’s problems should not occur.”

"Theoretically... it is true in theory," Jenny said, her expression was a little tired, which is the fatigue caused by high-intensity brain use in a short period of time, "but such a large-scale device, such a short It is normal for the experts to have some mistakes in the working cycle, and perhaps there are some hidden dangers in the adjusted blueprint that were not discovered at the beginning..."

Gao Wen stroked his chin, and pondered briefly: "Then what have you discovered now?"

"Not yet, we're just getting started," Rebecca shook her head, "There are a lot of original blueprints for the observation device, and this is only a small part. It's not something that can be done in a few days to sort out all the blueprints from scratch. , and now I’m just telling you that we have this idea—aside from the doubts on the blueprint, we’re still discussing whether there is any defect in the dark blue magic power used as the energy source for the vibration focus, or whether some environmental factors in the Ancestor’s Peak are interfering with the induction Operation of the array of…”

Gao Wen frowned. There were too many possible factors. Obviously, even experts like Rebecca and Jenny were at a loss for a while, but he soon shook his head, his voice as calm and reassuring as ever: "Don't Hurry up, we still have time to slowly find out the problem, today we will first find a few suspicious directions, and then the technical experts from the two planets will verify these directions.”

In the following half an hour, Gao Wen, Jenny, and Rebecca brought up all the factors they could think of that might cause major deviations in the observation results, and Jenny sorted and recorded them in the memo.

Among all these possible factors, "blueprint defects" and "deep blue magic characteristics" are considered to be the two answers that are most likely to lead to the current situation—and they are also huge troubles that require the most time to verify, and are difficult to solve once verified.

In this way, the time gradually passed in the discussion, and dusk gradually descended on the earth. The high-intensity brain operation made Gao Wen feel a little tired. He rubbed his forehead and tapped the table casually with the other hand. Said: "Think again, there is something we didn't expect..."

Jenny looked at the records she had sorted out on the memo. Her hair was a little messy, and a few strands of gray hair hung down from her forehead, but she didn't care about tidying up. After a while, she shook her head slightly: "Maybe The direction of everything is already on this ... but I think there is an element that we haven't paid enough attention to."

Gao Wen raised his head: "Which factor?"

"Interference, some kind of interference from outside the system," Jenny said while thinking, "Maybe there is some kind of interference source that can cover the entire holy mountain area to affect our observation results, and this interference source is strong enough for the observation array to Two shadows appear in the..."

"We discussed the interference just now," Rebecca scratched her head, "but what kind of powerful interference is needed to make the system deviate to such an extent? What we guessed just now is that there is a disturbance in the dark blue magic itself, and it directly The energy drawn from the interior of the planet may require additional processing to mitigate this disturbance, but in theory the energy that is finally transmitted to the sensor array has already been processed by the 'Ms. Even if the dark blue magic power is not up to the requirement, then we can't find any better solution."

"...No, I always feel that there is still something wrong, and there are interference sources that we have ignored," Jenny slowly shook her head, "The dark blue magic is still a factor in the observation device system, but as I said, this interference Should come from outside the system..."

Rebecca was stunned, and turned to look at Gawain, as if she wanted to ask her ancestors for advice, but Gawain was also immersed in thinking at this time, and did not give any response.

The setting sun was sinking gradually, and less than a quarter of the magnificent arc of the glorious crown was finally left. The golden-red rays of light splashed over the city like a waterfall, spreading all the way from the western urban area. In the sinking sunset, the light in the office seemed a little dim. Rebecca shook her head, got up and walked to the switch of the magic spar lamp: "The sun is going down soon, I'll turn on the light first..."

Before she finished speaking, Gawain suddenly woke up from his contemplation. He suddenly raised his head to interrupt Rebecca's movement: "Wait a minute."

Rebecca was confused: "Huh?"

Gao Wen didn't continue to explain, he just seemed to understand something suddenly, stood up from the chair little by little, and then walked around the large desk slowly under the confused gazes of Jenny and Rebecca, and came to the In front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows.

The last golden brilliance of the setting sun was surging over the city, and the corona outline near the horizon was only left with a few brilliant golden edges. There were large swaths of light reflected on the clouds, and it turned into a blurred floodlight filling his vision. Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly. Eyes, watching the huge sun slowly sinking, suddenly said softly: "...it is the sun."

"The sun?" Rebecca heard Gawain's muttering, but didn't react for a while, "What sun?"

Gawain's voice was deep and deep, and he spoke slowly, every word seemed to carry great force, while Rebecca and Jenny gradually opened their eyes wide in his words: "Virtual celestial body, we use this term To refer to those large celestial bodies that contain high-energy reactions and continuously release magic power. They are the natural focus of magic power in the universe, and they are also the source of magic power for many planets or satellites orbiting them. The 'cosmic magic power focus' that contains high magic power reactions leaves its own traces around, and the so-called magic tide observation device calculates the fluctuation data of the magic tide in advance by observing these traces..."

Gao Wen turned around while talking, the golden glow of the setting sun splashed into the room from the window behind him, like a gorgeous cloak, and this "cloak" was getting dimmer as the setting sun went down. Behind the sun, was The approaching darkness.

"Jenny, Rebecca, in our planetary system, there are two eligible 'virtual celestial bodies'."

"What do you mean..." Rebecca finally understood what Gawain meant, but the answer made it difficult for her to breathe, "You mean, the 'sun' on which we live is the biggest source of disturbance ..."

"We are too close to our 'sun'," Gao Wen quietly watched Rebecca and Jenny in front of him, "because it is not a real star, but just a gas giant planet in an 'ignited' state, This leads to the fact that if life is to be born on a satellite around it, then this satellite must be close enough to it to obtain the energy equivalent to orbiting a star, but this distance... also means that the planet under our feet cannot Completely 'immerse' in the power of the sun.

"And in the process of orbiting the sun, there is another real star in our celestial system, that is 'Ao'. Scholars think it is far away from us, but on the astronomical scale, we and 'Au' The distance between them is not far at all. The sensing distance of the magic tide observation device is calculated in light years. It calculates the magic tide by measuring the "interference waves" emitted by stars in deep space and nearby stars under the disturbance of the magic tide. The fluctuations... Rebecca, Jenny, do you understand?

"On our planet, there are two huge lenses in the 'near neighbor position' of the magic tide observation device, and these two 'lenses' can be regarded as overlapping on an astronomical scale. At the same time, our The planet is almost completely 'immersed' within the radiation range of one of the lenses, so when the magic tide observation device is activated, the signal from the depths of the starry sky is recognized by the sensor array as two overlapping but distinct ' Waveform'..."

The room fell silent, and Rebecca and Jenny stood in the gradually dimming sunset as if they were frozen. After an unknown amount of time, Jenny finally hesitated to break the silence: "But... why did the Noi people not..."

"The planet they live on revolves around a star," Gawain looked into Jenny's eyes with a low voice, "They simply don't have the conditions to verify what will happen to the observation device under the influence of the gas giant planet."

Some things, theory is always theory, and practice is always practice.

No matter how perfect the theory, no matter how rigorous reasoning, no matter how wise the mind is, it is impossible to accurately predict how the real world will work.

Of course, the Noi people know that there are celestial bodies like gas giant planets in the world, and they also know that the planet Loren is actually a "moon" orbiting the gas giant planets, but even they can't expect this round of "Moon of Loren" "What a vastly different environment from their home planet, in fact, even if they expected it, it would be meaningless——

The research and development of the magic tide observation device was long before Loren established contact with Noy.

"...the sun is setting."

Jenny stared out the window, talking softly to herself.

The last ray of sunlight in the sky finally dissipated, the huge sun sank below the horizon, and outside the wide French windows, night fell.

However, the planet under the feet of the mortal beings is still revolving around that huge sun—as in the past billions of years, as in the future billions of years.
