Even though he had put the crystal away again, Gao Wen could still "see" the overhead view in his mind as if some kind of energy imaging, but soon he found a way to turn off the picture: as long as he consciously turned his attention to If you move your mind away from the overhead view and focus on something else, the picture will disappear by itself, and the way to make the picture reappear is also very simple - just call it consciously.
In this process, there is no need to rely on the power of crystals.
Some kind of "link" based on the control of spirit and ideas seems to have been established, and the role of the crystal in this process is probably only equivalent to a key... or something like a catalyst.
Gawain sat behind the desk, looked at the few questions he had written on the paper, organized his thoughts, and tried to answer them.
According to Gawain Cecil's memory, coupled with what happened just now, it has been determined that the changes in the "sun" in the sky are directly related to the magic tide on the ground. Whenever red spots appear on the surface of the sun, the magic power on the earth will be Upwelling, the elements also become active, and the so-called dark magic tide is actually a process in which a large amount of chaotic and disordered magic power bursts out instantly, and the elemental power loses control like an avalanche and erodes the material world, and those that appear in the elemental storm Monsters—Their mechanism is not yet clear, and it can be regarded as a secondary phenomenon after the elements go berserk for the time being.
The intelligent creatures in this world are no strangers to the phenomenon of sun red spot and magic power upwelling. It is a natural phenomenon, irregular but not rare, so Gawain boldly hypothesized that the essence of the magic tide should actually be that it has crossed a certain After the "critical point", the magic power surges up. When the increase in the magic power of this world reaches a certain limit, the stable order of the elements will be broken, and the magic tide will break out.
And what role does the sun play in this process
Is it the red spots that cause the magic surge? Or that the two are not causal, but two phenomena of the same event
Gao Wen thought for a while, and added a small question to the paper: What is the nature of the sun
It is a giant planet, which seems to be certain—at least that's what it says in the "monitoring information", but it is obviously very different in nature from the gas giant planets known to Gawain.
As Gao Wen knows, the gas giant planet in his home world is not a celestial body that emits light and heat. Although it is usually filled with a large amount of nuclear fuel and emits a certain intensity of energy radiation, because it has not reached the fusion critical point, this kind of The giant planet is "cooling" like an unlit furnace, but the "sun" of this world is obviously providing light and heat to the earth.
So is it "ignited"? Or is it because the laws of the two worlds are different that it presents special properties
Gawain thought for a while, and he was more inclined to the second explanation, because those red spots and magic surges all reminded him that there are physical rules in this world that are completely different from those in his hometown. If you limit yourself to a fixed mindset, I am afraid that I will do useless work when thinking about problems.
And there is another important reason why he ruled out the first guess: if the huge sun in the sky is really an ignited gas giant planet undergoing fusion reaction, then it can already be regarded as a star, and the energy released by it The light and heat are definitely not as small as they are now. With the area of the sun's disc it presents and the almost blue-white surface color, the heat it releases should be enough to burn the planet under its feet to ashes.
Gao Wen wrote his conclusion on the paper: "The sun" is a gas giant planet with special properties, its activities will affect the magic power on the surface, presumably it is some kind of catalytic energy radiation. The appearance of erythema may mean that the energy radiation has increased, but due to the lack of effective detection methods, the answer is doubtful.
Then the second question, what is a "surveillance satellite"
It may be an ancient civilization, or it may be an outpost left by some extraterrestrial visitors over this planet, and the civilization that built it must be extremely advanced, at least they are not afraid of the so-called magic tide-satellites can even break out in the magic tide Hanging leisurely in space to watch a movie when I was young, this is enough to show the difference in technology. And where is the civilization that left this (assuming only one satellite) observation post now
Gao Wen considered that the satellite he traveled over was seriously malfunctioning, but he hadn't seen any after-sales service so far, so he boldly guessed: the civilization that left the satellite has either GG or gone away, and it doesn't pay attention to this place anymore.
Of course, it is also possible that the big boss burned too much money, and the bad satellite was like using up a few napkins, so no one came to see the situation, but this possibility is very low, and Gawain didn't think about it at all.
In any case, the satellite is about to GG, and no maintenance personnel have come to the door. It seems that for the time being, there is no need to worry about the super civilized father coming to hang and beat the children. This is good news—but Gao Wen thought about it, if that super civilized If they don't come to help with the magic wave problem, it's bad news...
As for the functional positioning of this satellite, it may be used to monitor the fluctuation of magic power.
Gao Wen remembered the second type of overhead view he had seen before (he called the clear satellite view he had seen for many tens of thousands of years before the first type of overhead view), that view covered the entire earth with various color filters, perhaps in different shades. Different colors represent fluctuations in magic power, and the simultaneous change of those colors when the phenomenon of magic power upwelling can also support this conjecture. So the satellite is actually an early warning device for the magic tide
At least, "early warning" should be one of its functions.
It's just that the situation at this observation post is probably worrying. No matter how Gao Wen gives orders, he can't make any adjustments to those screens, and there will be serious interference patterns and vibrations on the screen from time to time, which is a reminder He—the system is probably at its limit.
So now there is one last question left: Why did the ancient Gawain Cecil leave such a crystal seven hundred years ago
Now Gao Wen still doesn't understand all the characteristics of this crystal, but at least he has verified that it can help him get in touch with a monitoring station in the sky again, so will this crystal be useful to others
If it was useful, what did Gawain Cecil use it for? Could it be that he also obtained a satellite perspective like himself
emmmmmmm... It seems reasonable to think about it this way. The reason why the most ferocious pioneer knight was able to lead a group of refugees to escape in the tide of demons and monsters, complete the breakout and establish a new kingdom like extreme parkour, is mainly because Because the full picture is turned on...
But just guessing like this is not enough, he has to actually test it.
Gawain held the complete crystal and thought about how to test it—this involves his own secrets, so he can't just give it to anyone to use, although for the natives of this world, suddenly seeing a crystal that looks like a thermal image I'm afraid you can't see anything from the bird's-eye view, but I'm afraid there are some wise people among the natives who can deduce the truth from those bird's-eye views later.
Therefore, it is necessary to find someone who is reliable enough to ensure that even if the other party succeeds in the test on the spot, nothing uncontrollable will happen.
In fact, Gao Wen's worries here are a bit superfluous - based on the worldview of the vast majority of people in this world, they will never have any concept of satellite becoming a spirit, landing and rebirth, and rashly saw the big map through a crystal. His thoughts were probably just "this thing is an artifact, with a level 10,000 eagle eye technique"—but who told Gawain that his thoughts hadn't merged with this world yet
So he just pondered for a while, and slowly raised his head to look at Miss Amber who was standing beside the table and wandering away.
The half-elf girl felt a chill all over her body, turned her head and saw Gao Wen's staring eyes, and immediately got goosebumps: "You... what are you going to do?! You finally revealed your noble nature and are ready to attack your guards, right? …”
This is no good, she is disobedient and unreliable, and she is a good monkey. Let her do the test and God knows how much trouble will happen.
Gao Wen quickly dismissed his thoughts, but at this moment, someone came in to report that Rebecca, who had gone out to survey the land, had returned.
Gao Wen immediately beamed with joy: "Hurry up and let her come over!"
Rebecca quickly ran into the tent. She ran outside for a long time, but she didn't show any signs of fatigue. Instead, she seemed full of energy. She thought that Gawain wanted her to report the situation, so she went Come in and speak quickly: "Ancestor! I'm afraid you won't believe how many good lands there are around here - I thought that the Dark Mountains were all barren and desolate places that couldn't be developed, but I followed the map you gave and found it... "
"It's okay, there's no rush for this." Gawain interrupted Rebecca with a wave of his hand, and handed over the crystal in his hand, "There's something for you to do."
He looked at the great-granddaughter on the N+1 floor in front of him with a smile on his face, and felt that he was on the other extreme with Amber—
Obedient, reliable, and his brain was caught by the door.
Rebecca took the crystal that Gawain handed her in a daze, wondering what the old ancestor had ordered: "And then?"
Gao Wen thought about how he got in touch with the satellite, and began to direct from the side: "Then you imagine that in a very high place—a place higher than the clouds, there is something that can look down on the earth. Now you Try to connect with that thing."
Rebecca blinked: "Oh, you mean the mysterious eye?"
The Eye of Mystery is a term used by mages. They believe that everyone who is gifted with magic has a pair of eyes that transcend themselves. These eyes float over the entire world and are immersed in the "Ether Sea". Instead of magicians, they observe the essence of the world and the flow of magic, and the quality of these eyes also determines the talent of each magician in the process of learning and refining. Magicians cannot directly perceive these eyes, but their souls can subconsciously—the process of meditation is the process of communicating with these eyes.
Of course Gao Wen was not referring to this: "No, it's a place higher than the Mysterious Eye, and it's more specific. It's a tangible thing like a magic prop."
Rebecca tried her best, showing a slightly apologetic smile: "But I didn't see anything?"
Then Gao Wen changed several guiding methods, but the crystal in Rebecca's hand didn't respond at all.
It seems... the question that Duke Gawain Cecil opened up the whole picture seven hundred years ago cannot be given a solid hammer.
