Chapter 895 Paramel Observatory

Magic Static Layer... Turbulent Layer...

Gawain is not proficient in these concepts, but he is not unfamiliar either.

As early as more than a thousand years ago, the scholars of the Gondor Empire tried to understand the sky above them, and summed up a lot of valuable knowledge-in this world where magic dominates everything, scholars are based on the magical environment and atmosphere. The physical structure has been comprehensively considered to stratify the atmosphere. Without considering too professional and detailed division methods, the atmosphere is roughly divided into the following structures from bottom to top: magic static boundary layer, turbulent layer, Exist only in the steady state limit layer in theory and in conjectured outer space.

The magic static boundary is the area where almost all creatures on this planet live and can reach it. It extends from the ground up to an altitude of about 13 kilometers. In this area, the magic environment is stable and the atmospheric movement is relatively Orderly, whether it is the kingdom of mortals or the birds and beasts of the natural world, they are all immersed in the cradle of magic like wind and drizzle. The magical civilization of mortals is prosperous and the birds in the sky fly freely.

And from the magic static layer upward, the planet began to show another appearance - the magic environment in the air suddenly became fierce, and the magic reading rose straight up, making this area a "rich zone of energy", However, this abundant energy is turbulent, and the ubiquitous magic storm makes the turbulent layer extremely dangerous. No mortal can live to draw magic from this boiling sea of ​​energy - and no mortal bird can live here. A high flight. It is said that only a very few powerful beasts and dragons, which are almost legendary races, can soar in the turbulent layer, but they cannot stay for long.

The turbulent layer was the highest point that the magisters of the Gondor Empire could directly observe and "touch" through technical means, and further up... the steady state limit layer that only existed in the theories of scholars.

Scholars of the ancient empire believed that the entire planet was "immersed" in the high-energy environment of the universe, and it was the interaction of the planet's own magnetic field and magic that formed a kind of "protection", which formed a layer of protection on the top of the atmosphere. The compressed "thin shell" fiercely confronts various forces in outer space, forming a swift and severe, endless storm. It is the limit state of "magic" that mortals can understand and grasp. In the frontier of the planetary order, the steady state limit layer may be very thin, but even the legendary dragon is difficult to challenge this barrier.

As for what the wider "outer space" looks like beyond the steady state limit layer... Even the scholars of the extremely advanced ancient Gondor Empire can only imagine it.

With these inherited knowledge appearing in his mind, Gawain couldn't help but sighed softly.

Even after so many years, even if he has become accustomed to the life here, the strange rules of this world will still remind him over and over again - this is not the earth, this is not the earth...

"His Majesty,

We will solve the turbulent layer problem one day," Carmel misunderstood the meaning of Gawain's sigh, and immediately stepped forward and said, "The magic net and anti-gravity mechanism have more potential than we thought. Scholars have encountered the ultimate problem of flesh and blood and the power supply of the deep blue well before the turbulent plane, but magic technology is often very effective in solving such problems..."

"No, I'm not sighing," Gawain knew that the other party had misunderstood, he shook his head, but he didn't know how to explain it. After thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "I just sigh... We used to know that in the Gondor era. many things..."

"Yeah... We used to be so brilliant... But everything died with the tide of magic." Hearing Gawain's sigh, Carmel couldn't help but feel a little sad. Scattered all over the world... but fortunately we have managed to collect some of them, and worked hard to make a certain development, at least... I can now tell students what a planet is and what an orbit is in school every eighth , the knowledge that was once known in the Gondor Empire has finally returned to people's ears."

Hearing Carmel's words, Gawain raised his eyebrows immediately: "I know about Santis inviting you to give lectures at school - how did it work?"

"Outside of the lab, I still often startle people by looking like this - a grey elf lady in class last week saw me walk into the class and even jumped out of the window," Kamai said. There was a hint of a smile in Er's words, "But it's still going well on the whole. The students in Imperial College are more curious than I thought, and when faced with knowledge... they are full of curiosity."

"Curiosity... This is the most precious trait of human beings," Gawain said with a smile, "As long as there are these curious people, we will always move forward."

...

Curiosity is the most precious trait of human beings.

The setting sun gradually fell below the horizon, and the dim red afterglow spread along the distant rolling hills, spreading over the entire Paramel Heights. Any kind of candle from the old days should be bright - it lit the whole camp at the moment of sunset, and the light extended from the outpost not far away until it shone on Morgan Hugo's desk .

The white-haired and thin old man slowly stroked his fingers across the paper spread on the table, his lips moved silently, beside him, a dozen pieces of scratch paper and a dozen quills were flying in the air, constantly carrying out various complicated tasks. Calculations and records, pale blue runes circulated between the paper and the desk, and the sound of rustling writing reverberated in the room.

Then, the busy calculation work came to an end, the scratch paper and quill pens fell methodically on the two wide desks next to him, and Morgan Hugo raised his head and looked into the direction of the depths of the camp.

The night is gradually falling, and in the camp lit by lights, you can see the construction site with a large amount of materials and some facilities that have been established - an extra large building frame is standing in the center of all the facilities, it has The cylindrical main body, its base and the first floor have been completed, and the steel frame above the second floor stands silently in the gradually diffused night. , you can see many figures still shaking and moving construction machinery - the builders are still busy, busy adding flesh and blood to the skeleton of this giant.

After watching it for a while, Morgan Hugo couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, and the wrinkles converged on his face into a happy smile.

Magic technology... is indeed a good thing.

It's hard to build such a large-scale building in such a short period of time with the old method - even if the magicians do it themselves, it is difficult for the magicians who often need to rest to be comparable to those who are sleepless and powerful. infinite machines.

"Teacher," a voice came from behind, interrupting the old mage's thoughts, "I have brought you the information you need."

Morgan turned around and saw a middle-aged mage who served as his apprentice and assistant was standing at the door, and many sorted books were floating in front of the latter.

"Put it on the second shelf on the left, and don't mess up other things," Morgan said casually. "Also, take the blueprint on the desk on the right and hand it over to Mr. Fisher at the camp."

"Yes, mentor." The middle-aged mage responded immediately, and then started to get busy as instructed.

"It's a good place..." Morgan retracted his gaze from his apprentice and looked at the night sky outside the window. In front of the first star that gradually emerged, the astrologer from Saint-Sunil couldn't help but sigh softly. Get up, "The sky is far clearer than Saint Sunil... Alas, after hundreds of years of time changes, the sky in the old capital is not as suitable for stargazing as it was at first, it seems to be correct to give up there and start over in another place. Decide."

At this moment, the middle-aged mage has placed the materials according to the instructor's request. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but say: "But... this place is too close to Typhon. It is said that a conflict broke out in the Paramel Heights before. Is this place? A little unsafe?"

Morgan Hugo immediately frowned and glanced at the apprentice: "Don't your curiosity and exploration spirit about the unknown give you a little more courage?"

The middle-aged mage suddenly became nervous: "I...I didn't mean that..."

"Forget it, I understand you," Morgan snorted after a reprimand, his tone less severe, "I know you're worried about my old bones... But I'm not as useless as you think."

As he spoke, the old mage couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "It's really close to the border, and our relationship with Typhon was really tense, but this is the best place in the entire southeast region. , this is impossible.

"Magic envelops the entire planet, and the elemental forces in the atmosphere are encapsulated by magic, and the resulting 'polarized lens effect' will interfere with our observers' sight, so those 'windows' that are naturally suitable for observing astrological phenomena are also precious. No matter how superb magic skills or advanced observation equipment are, they can only be multiplied when the 'window' is suitable, and according to my calculations...here is the most suitable window.

"Of course, there are also good windows over Baisha Lake and the Frostwind Hills, and an observatory will be set up there in the future, but..."

When Morgan said this, he suddenly laughed, with a youthful brilliance on his face: "As the best stargazer in this country, of course I want to stand on the best observatory!"

The white-haired old mage is full of pride and self-confidence, which is a bit harsh and arrogant even to lay people who don't know the truth, but the middle-aged mage who is an apprentice has long seen it - he knows his mentor. When faced with the field that he is good at, when faced with things related to the "starry sky", this is what this calm and respectable old mage will look like on weekdays.

"According to the current progress, the lens group of the main observatory can be installed before the end of this month." Feeling the teacher's high spirits, the middle-aged mage also relaxed. He recalled the news he heard during the day, smiling with a smile on his face. Said, "I heard that the first batch of enchanted crystals have been rough polished in Gelan's crystal casting factory, and will soon be sent to Tamdul by magic train for fine grinding and rune inscription, the No. 1 power of the Observatory The ridge was also assembled yesterday and seems to be doing... oh, the stress test, and it's said to be delivered from the Kant factory next week."

Listening to the good news brought by the apprentice, a smile appeared on Morgan's face at first, and then there was a bit of emotion in the smile. The wrinkles on the old mage's face stretched, and suddenly said softly: "The Age of Empires what……"

The middle-aged mage did not hear clearly for a while: "What did you say?"

"Remember our star-gazing tower in San Sunil?"

"Ah, of course I remember," the middle-aged mage nodded immediately, and then showed a regretful expression, "Unfortunately... when the city shield collapsed, the magic power surged inward, and the runes and magic power pools of the entire tower melted down... "

"Yeah, that old man's been in service for too long... It should have rested many years ago, and then each of us only treasured those tinkered runestones," Morgan sighed "Master Carmel said something when he persuaded me to leave Saint Sunil. He said that what I could see in the Magic Age was not only the stars in the sky... Now I probably understand what he meant."

The apprentice just looked at this side for no reason.

Obviously, he didn't understand yet.

But soon, the apprentice remembered another thing and said happily: "By the way, tutor, there is good news for you."

"Huh?" Morgan raised his eyebrows. "What news?"

"There is definite news that the Paramel Observatory will increase the funds by one phase - to speed up the construction progress of the main building and install more advanced equipment," the apprentice smiled, "It is said that His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered... …”

"The order from His Majesty the Emperor himself..." Morgan was stunned for a moment, then a smile slowly surfaced, "Good thing, good thing..."
