During a synchronized observation window that lasted about three hours, Noi and Loren conducted four deep space scans in the same direction at the same time. During this period, technicians carried out system reset on the sensor array of the Holy Mountain. Various attempts were made, including setting and hard switching of lines, and the results of all these attempts were the same in the end. The ghost-like "extra shadow" still exists, and two completely different sets of observation data are superimposed, even on two planets. In the case of synchronous observation, the error cannot be corrected.
In fact, at the end of the test, even Noi's technical staff began to wonder whether the "extra shadow" was an error or another real demonic wave.
After many fruitless attempts, the observation window finally inevitably ended, and the simultaneous scanning of Loren and Noi planets 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 it was a message from "Witch" Nova, "The observation window has ended, before the second window arrives. , we still have time to solve the current problems through other means
“The wise men have received the system operation data sent by Loren, and we will process it in the next few days. We will conduct a comprehensive analysis in order to find the reason for the abnormal values in the observation device. In addition, our super-light communication will remain open and we hope to exchange our respective progress as soon as possible. "
Looking at the writing on the paper, Gawain breathed out softly and said in a deep voice, "Received, the communication system on Loren's side will also remain open. In addition, we will continue to conduct single-star benchmark tests before the second window arrives. Although the parameters observed from a single planet cannot be used to construct the barrier frequency, we may have a chance to find the cause of the failure from the benchmark tests. All test data will be shared in real time. If you have any suggestions during this process, please feel free to contact us. "
The printing device was silent for several minutes, and then finally there was a clicking sound, and the paper tape that was slowly spit out contained clear and sharp writing: "Noy received it, I hope everything goes well." "
"I hope everything goes well. ”
When the printing device and the Magic Network terminal gradually returned to silence, Gawain sighed deeply. Then he stood up from behind the desk and slowly came to the large floor-to-ceiling window. Looking heavily at the still prosperous city outside the window
The giant sun has already passed the highest point in the sky and is slowly sinking to the west. The surface of the huge sun disk is slightly orange and has wood grain floating on it. The faint lines formed a magnificent crown above the horizon. Against the background of the sun, some towers and high walls on the west side of the city turned into dark silhouettes. The silhouettes overlapped and the details near and far seemed to be obscured. Shrouded in the cold sunlight.
The magic network terminal on the desk suddenly buzzed again. Hetty, who was left in the study, stepped forward and connected the terminal, and Rebecca's figure immediately appeared in the hologram. In the projection, the background behind her is a busy laboratory.
"Master Ancestor" Rebecca's voice rang in the room, "I have also taken a rough look at the last observation data just now. 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 will go over in person and let's discuss this issue together."
< p>Then he looked up at Hetty, "You pay attention to the news coming from the observer's chamber. If there are any changes in the observation device, come to me directly."After giving the instructions, he He left the Cecil Palace and went straight to the Magic Technology Department building not far from the central administrative area. It didn't take long for him to arrive in Rebecca's office. When he arrived, Rebecca and Jenny were already there. Waiting here.
"There is no need to be polite, there are no outsiders here." As soon as he entered, Gawain waved to Jenny who was about to get up from behind the table. He grabbed a chair from the side and placed it on Rui. Opposite Beca's table, his eyes immediately fell on the documents being spread out. The documents were full of symbols, numbers and graphics, almost covering the entire table. Some of them were obviously observation data that had just been printed out, while others were Part of it looks like it was taken out of a filing cabinet, and what is depicted on it is 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 In order to use the Deep Blue Network Channel to build the vibration focus, we have made many adjustments to the Noi blueprint, especially the connection method between the sensor array and the vibration focus. These changes may be the reason for this abnormality. "The reason for the result"
Gaowen 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 Noi people confirmed that we were on the blueprint. Every change has been repeatedly verified by experts from both planets to ensure that it will not affect the normal operation of the observation device and the accuracy of the observation. In theory, today's problems should not occur. ”
< p> "Theoretically, this is indeed the case," Jenny on the side said, her expression a little tired, which was caused by the exhaustion caused by high-intensity brain use in a short period of time, "But such a large-scale device, such a short time It is normal for experts to make some mistakes during the work cycle. Perhaps the adjusted blueprint has some hidden dangers that were not discovered at the beginning."Gao Wen touched his chin and briefly pondered, "Then now you have Have you discovered anything?"
"Not yet, we have just started," Rebecca shook her head. "There are many, many original drawings of the observation device, and this is only a small part. All blueprints need to be scratched from scratch. Sorting it out is not something that can be done in a few days. Now I am telling you that we have this idea. In addition to the doubts on the blueprint, we are still discussing whether there is any flaw in the deep blue magic power as the focus energy, or whether it is the peak of the ancestors. Certain local environmental factors are interfering with the sense of"The operation of the sensor array"
Gawain frowned. There were too many possible factors. Obviously, even experts like Rebecca and Jenny were at a loss to start, but he soon shook his head. He shook his head, his voice as calm and reassuring as ever, "Don't be anxious, we still have time to slowly find out the problem. Today we will first find a few doubtful directions, and then let the technical experts of the two planets verify these directions." ”
In the next half hour, Gawain, Jenny and Rebecca mentioned one by one all the factors that they could think of that might lead to major deviations in the observation results, and Jenny compiled and recorded it in the memo.
Among all these possible factors, "blueprint defects" and "dark blue magic properties" are considered to be the two most likely answers to the current situation and also the most needed. Time verifies, once verified, it is a huge problem that is difficult to solve.
Time gradually passed during the discussion, and dusk gradually fell on the earth. The high-intensity brain operation made Gawain feel a little tired. He rubbed his hands. On the forehead, the other hand tapped the table casually, and after a long time he said thoughtfully, "Think about it again, there is something else we haven't thought of."
Jenny looked at what she had compiled on the memo One record after another, her hair was slightly messy, and a few strands of gray hair hung down from her forehead and she didn't bother to straighten it. After a moment, she shook her head gently, "The possible directions are already here, but I I think there is one factor that we have not paid enough attention to. "
Gawain raised his head "Which factor?"
"Interference, some kind of interference from outside the system," Jenny said while thinking, "Maybe there is something that is enough to cover The interference source in the entire Holy Mountain area is affecting our observation results, and this interference source is strong enough to cause two shadows to appear in the observation array."
"We just discussed the interference," Rebecca He scratched his head and said, "But what kind of powerful interference is needed to make the system deviate to this extent? What we just guessed is that there is a disturbance in the deep blue magic power itself, and the energy drawn directly from the interior of the planet may require additional processing to alleviate this. This kind of disturbance, but in theory, the energy finally transmitted to the sensor array has been processed by Ms. Tower. And if even the deep blue magic power processed by Ms. Tower cannot meet the requirements, then we can't find any other information. Good plan. "
"No, I always feel that something is wrong, and there are still interference sources that we have ignored," Jenny slowly shook her head, "Deep Blue Magic is still a factor within the observation device system, but I said, this interference should come from outside the system."
Rebecca was stunned and turned to look at Gawain, as if she wanted to consult her ancestors for their opinions, but Gawain was also immersed in thinking at this time. , no response was given.
The setting sun gradually sank, and finally only less than a quarter of the magnificent arc remained, and the golden-red glow was like a waterfall. Splashing over the city, spreading all the way from the western urban area, and sinking more and more hereIn the setting sun, the light in the office seemed a little dim. Rebecca shook her head, stood up and walked towards the switch of the magic crystal lamp. "The sun is going down, I'll turn on the light first."
Her words Before it fell, Gawain suddenly woke up from his meditation. He suddenly raised his head and interrupted Rebecca's movement, "Wait a minute."
Rebecca was confused and said "Ah"
Gawain did not continue to explain. He just seemed to suddenly understand something. He stood up from the chair little by little, and then slowly walked around the large desk under the confused gazes of Jenny and Rebecca. Arriving at the wide floor-to-ceiling window.
The last golden glow of the setting sun is surging over the city. The outline of the corona near the horizon only has a bright golden edge. Large areas of light are reflected on the clouds, and then turn into blurred floodlight. Gawain narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the giant sun slowly sinking, and suddenly whispered, "It's the sun."
"The sun" Rebecca heard Gawain's muttering, but suddenly Time didn't register, "What sun?"
Gawain's voice was low. He spoke slowly, and every word seemed to be filled with great power, while Rebecca and Jenny were beside him. His eyes gradually widened as he spoke, "Virtual celestial bodies, 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 are also the many planets orbiting them. Or the magic source of the satellite, and the magic tide will leave its own traces around such cosmic magic focus that contains high magic reaction. The so-called magic tide observation device is to calculate the fluctuation data of the magic tide in advance by observing these traces. "
As Gawain spoke, he turned around. The golden glow of the setting sun poured into the room from the window behind him, like a gorgeous cloak, and this "cloak" was setting with the setting sun. It's getting dimmer, and behind the sunshine is the ever-approaching darkness.
"Jenny, Rebecca, there are two qualified virtual celestial bodies in our planetary system."
"What do you mean?" Rebecca finally fully understood. Gawain meant, but this answer made her feel a little difficult to breathe, "You mean, the sun we rely on for survival is the biggest source of interference"
"We are too close to our sun "Gawain quietly stared at 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 means that if life is to be born on the satellites around it, Then the satellite must be close enough to it to obtain the energy equivalent to that of orbiting the star, but this distance also means that the planet under our feet is completely immersed in the power of the sun.
< p> "In the process of orbiting the sun, there is another real star in our celestial system, and that is O. Scholars all think it is very far away from us, but on an astronomical scale, the distance between us and Austria is actually not that far at all. The sensing distance of the Magic Tide Observation Device is calculated in light years. It measures deep space stars andThe interference waves emitted by nearby stars under the disturbance of the magic tide are used to calculate the fluctuations of the magic tide. Rebecca, Jenny, do you understand?"On our planet, the magic tide observation device There are two huge lenses in the immediate vicinity of , and these two lenses can almost be regarded as overlapping on an astronomical scale. At the same time, our planet is almost completely immersed in the radiation range of one of the lenses. So when the magic tide observation device was activated, the signal from the depths of the starry sky was recognized by the sensor array as two overlapping but completely different waveforms."
The room fell silent, Rebecca and James Nidu stood in the dimming sunset as if frozen. After an unknown amount of time, Jenny finally broke the silence hesitantly, "But why are there no Noi people at all?"
"The planet they live on is surrounded by A star moves," Gawain looked into Jenny's eyes and said in a low voice, "They have no conditions to verify what problems will occur with the observation device under the influence of the gas giant planet."
There are some things, theories. It is always theory and practice is always practice.
No matter how perfect the theory, no matter how rigorous the 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 Loren planet is actually a "moon" orbiting the gas giant planet, but even they could not predict it The environment of this "Loren's Moon" is so different from that of their home star. In fact, even if they expected it, it would be meaningless
The development of the magic tide observation device was as early as Loren and Noy before making contact.
"The sun is setting."
Jenny stared out the window and whispered to herself.
The last ray of light on the horizon finally dissipated, the giant sun sank below the horizon, and night fell outside the wide floor-to-ceiling windows.
However, the planet beneath the feet of all living beings is still revolving around the giant sun as it has for hundreds of millions of years in the past and as it will for billions of years in the future.
