"Now simulate three hours after sunrise." Richard said. As he spoke, he raised the gate he had just pressed, and then pressed another gate on the console.
"Bright!"
As Richard finished speaking, the rising sun dimmed and went out little by little, and the second sun lit up in the distance of the rising sun. The rising sun is located in the middle of one side of the jade, and the second sun is located at the intersection of one side of the jade and the other. If the rising sun represents the true east, then the second sun is located in the southeast.
If you look carefully, you will find that the second sun is slightly smaller in size than the first sun, but its brightness increases and its color changes from red to incandescent.
"Now simulate six hours after sunrise." Richard said again, operating the console, "Light."
Soon, the second sun extinguished little by little, and the third sun lit up, appearing "due south". Compared with the previous sun, it is smaller again but brighter. In order to simulate the most realistic effect, Richard used metal halide lamps and short-arc spherical xenon lamps - which are called "artificial suns" on earth. The light color is very close to real sunlight.
Under the illumination of this light source, the noon time in the Garden of Eden is very similar to that in the real world.
Then…
"Now simulate nine hours after sunrise."
"Now simulate twelve hours after sunrise."
Following Richard's voice and operation, suns were born and extinguished one after another, until the last sunset appeared. Compared with the rising sun, the sunset looks similar, but the direction has moved to the west, and is partially blocked, as if it is sinking into the mountains.
"Now simulate three hours after sunset."
The next moment, the sun disappeared, and tiny bits of faint light appeared in numerous locations surrounded by crystals. They were densely packed and looked like thousands of stars. It was exactly what Richard had simulated using some low-power electric lamps. Because the materials are limited, the quantity is small and slightly sparse, like the night sky when the weather is bad.
"Now simulate six hours after sunset."
The stars move slowly.
"Now simulate nine hours after sunset."
The stars continue to move.
"Now simulate sunrise twelve hours after sunset."
The sun rises again.
Under Richard's hands, the Garden of Eden quickly experienced changes in sunlight throughout the day. Although there are many differences compared to the outside world, they are similar after all.
The reason why Richard built such a lighting simulation system was not because he was bored, but mainly to prepare for long-term research in the Garden of Eden.
It is true that immersing yourself in research and concentrating is the most efficient working state, but the body is the capital of revolution, and some health factors of the body must also be taken into consideration—health is sometimes more important than fitness.
Because of the special circumstances in the Garden of Eden, being in a state of darkness for a long time and being out of sync with the outside world, repeatedly entering and exiting the Garden of Eden can easily cause the body's biological clock to be disrupted.
Richard didn't want to be "jet lagged" all day long, so he created this lighting system to simulate the outside world in the Garden of Eden to solve this problem. In addition, it is a good way to consume the current excess electricity and increase the comfort of Eden.
Richard has always been thinking about making the Garden of Eden more like the outside world, so that there will be no sense of oppression during the research process. The simulated lighting system is the first step. If he has the ability and time, he would like to transform more, and even transform the entire Garden of Eden into an independent small world similar to a demiplane.
Of course, this is a long-term matter. What needs to be considered now is that now that the goal has been achieved, we must prepare to leave the island.
After all, most of the valuable things on the island have been excavated, and the materials stored in the Garden of Eden have been exhausted during the research and transformation process and are in urgent need of replenishment. In addition, although the cat slave girl Heidi had not promised to go to Moore at first, considering that the other party had written countless letters and might still be writing, she had to give the other party an explanation. Finally, I discovered more secrets of the Black Spirit King and the Black Spirit Empire, and I have to try to figure them out.
Therefore, the next step is to leave the island as soon as possible, sail to a port on the east coast to do some shopping, and then take a boat north to Moore.
Thinking of this, Richard walked out of the main laboratory, quickly left the Garden of Eden, and walked towards the port on the island. Be prepared to check out the ships in port to see which one is suitable to sail out of.
…
As soon as Richard left the Garden of Eden, Pandora sneakily appeared in the main laboratory. Pandora opened her big eyes and looked at the console of the lighting simulation system in the corner. There was light coming from the depths of her eyes, and she was thinking about something in her mind.
By the way, during this time, she had been studying mathematics and felt that her little head was about to explode. I regretted very much why I told Richard that I wanted to learn useful things and become a useful dragon.
If she had known it would be so difficult, she would rather be a useless dragon. The worst thing is, just listen to Richard obediently and don't cause trouble from now on.
But now that she has learned it and put in so much effort, quitting midway would really be a shame for her hard work, so she has no choice but to persevere.
But... it's been getting harder and harder lately.
It’s not her fault, it’s all Richard’s fault!
Yes, it’s all Richard’s fault!
Originally, in addition to studying, she also had a few hours to spin a strange machine every day to rest her brain. In the end, Richard sealed the machine for some unknown reason and told her that she would never need to turn it again and just concentrate on studying.
This is absolutely abominable!
When she thought of this, Pandora became angry and felt that the whole dragon life was gray.
Fortunately, she has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, and she discovered colors in gray. In the boring learning process, she discovered interesting things, such as... this thing in front of her.
When Richard was operating it just now, she kept watching secretly, and she could tell that this thing was definitely fun. Since it was fun, and she was so tired from studying, and Richard happened to be gone, could she relax and try to have some fun
Well, that's it.
With a slightly serious look on her face, Pandora made up her mind and quickly walked towards the console.
The next moment, recalling the way Richard operated just now, Pandora stood on tiptoes, stretched out her hand, grabbed a gate and pressed it hard.
"brush!"
The moment the gate is pressed, the light lights up and the sun rises from the "east".
Pandora's eyes widened with a proud expression on her face.
Well, it's not difficult at all. At least it's much simpler than mathematics and so on. You can learn it once you learn it.
Then... let's play again? Well, let’s play again.
Thinking in her mind, Pandora pulled the first gate and pressed the second gate.
The second sun rose immediately.
Pandora pulled up the second gate and pressed the third gate.
Simulates the rise of the third sun at noon.
Then came the fourth sun, the fifth sun, and then the stars.
Pandora operated the console and had a great time, making the whole day pass quickly in Eden again.
After playing it once, Pandora was still not satisfied. She tilted her head and looked at the console, her eyes rolled in her eye sockets, and she had more ideas.
What happens if multiple gates are pressed
Out of curiosity, Pandora pressed the first and second gates at the same time without hesitation.
Soon, the first sun and the second sun rise at the same time - a double solar solstice.
"Well, it's pretty good."
Pandora looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then pressed the third gate.
"brush!"
The third sun also appeared and was in the sky for three days.
"Bah, bang, bang!" Pandora kept pressing the gate, and soon the fourth and fifth suns appeared, turning into a five-day volley.
Press the gate again, and the stars will appear, and the sun and stars will appear in the same sky.
Continue to press the gate, more stars appear, and the entire Garden of Eden becomes extremely bright.
Pandora was so excited that she did not realize that the brightness of the Garden of Eden was too high and continued to press the gate. As a result, at the next moment, as the gate was pressed with a "pop", a "stab" sounded from nowhere, and in an instant, all the light in the entire Garden of Eden suddenly went out.
The whole scene was like the sun rising into the sky, being violently blasted by an invisible fist, and the whole world fell into darkness.
The reason why this situation exists is because Richard designed and installed overload protection in the circuit. When the circuit is overloaded, the workmanship is too high, and the current is greater than the designed rated current, the circuit will protect the circuit. The fuse will automatically blow, forming an open circuit to protect the circuit and equipment.
Pandora didn't know about overload protection. After all, she had just reached the elementary school level in mathematics and had no contact with physics at all. Facing the sudden darkness, Pandora was stunned and stood frozen in front of the console. After a long while, Pandora came back to her senses. She swallowed her saliva extremely nervously and thought about how to deal with it with a grimace.
When Richard comes back later, should he pretend to know nothing, or should he pretend to know nothing, or should he pretend to know nothing
Pandora "struggled", and the door of the main laboratory suddenly opened with a "squeak", and Richard appeared at the door. Richard stretched out one hand, a ball of oily green flame burning, and looked at Pandora with an angry look on his face.
Pandora's breathing was stagnant, but it only took a tenth of a second to return to normal, and she quickly calmed down her nervous expression. "Incomparably natural" turned around, as if he didn't see Richard, and walked towards the side, muttering to himself as he walked: "Ah, why is it suddenly dark? It's strange, forget it, no matter what, I'll still review Let’s check the ninety-nine watch.”
Pandora began to recite aloud, with a very serious expression: "One to one is one, one to two is two, two to two is four, one to three is three, two to three is six..."
As a result, when I carried it on my back, there was a "pop" sound.
"Oops." Pandora covered her head and looked at Richard with an aggrieved look, "Richard, why are you slapping me on the head? It affects me from memorizing the ninety-nine form."
"Why do you think it is?" Richard asked with a straight face.
"I... I don't know." Pandora replied, and then waved her hand very "generously", "But forget it, just pretend that you are not careful, I will continue to memorize the ninety-nine watch."
"Oops, why did you slap me on the head again." Pandora was patted again and became anxious. "It's not me who closed all the gates and broke things. Please don't hit people randomly."
"Well, what did you just say? Say it again." Richard said.
"Um, um..." Pandora looked at Richard with a slightly stiff expression for a while, then lowered her head and said with a depressed face, "Okay, just think I made a mistake, okay... Oops!" Fallen, and was patted on the head again.
"Just think you did something wrong?"
"Okay, okay, I did something wrong, really, stingy... Oops!"
