In fact, Hao Ren and Vivienne have also seriously discussed the issue of the venue for the summoning ceremony. Regarding this ceremony, Hao Ren's goal is just one word: stability, it must be as stable as possible, and everything can be done safely if possible. Risk factors are excluded in the preparation stage. Therefore, Vivienne needs a stable environment for casting spells, a complete set of security systems that can monitor magic power, and a complex amplification device—these things are all facilities in the magic field. Hao Ren is a bit difficult to understand when dealing with it, but Hao Ren doesn't need to understand the specific principles, he just needs to sort out the data and requirements listed by Vivienne, and the Erim elf will prepare such a place —It is the magic tower in their royal area.
The Erim elves are a race that started in the field of magic, and they are still magic experts until now. Don’t see them making spaceships, building space forts, and researching solar material collection stations, thinking that they are all high-tech gadgets Well, in fact, technology and magic are indistinguishable after they have developed to a certain level. Aerym's aircraft started with the "levitation technique", and the predecessor of the plasma weapon was a sword enchanted by scorching heat. This advanced device, which is similar to the early Dyson ring collector, is a huge semi-permanent enchanted building, so if Hao Ren wants to find an expert in the field of magic in his own forces, the Erim elves will definitely do their part.
Even though they had a bit of a bad time in their hometown and couldn't even fly out of their own planetary system, these elves who were forced to order thousands of years of technology trees in their homes are simply insane in the field of precise control of magic …
The Royal Mage Tower of the City of Stars stands in the north of the city, next to the unfinished Elven Royal Court—because the Arim royal family allocated all the engineering power to key livelihood facilities, so their royal family The court is still a large construction site and several temporary palaces to be built. Only the office area and the royal mage tower, which also functions as a city energy node, have been completed.
This is a tall white tower with elegant lines. It consists of a main tower and three auxiliary towers built around the main tower. Huge golden crystals are suspended on the top of the three auxiliary towers. These three crystals are used by the Erim elves. The first batch of large-scale equipment manufactured by the local resources of this planet, they receive energy broadcasts from several solar wind collection stations in space around the clock, and send these energies continuously into the main tower, and finally the main tower Towers distribute power to power stations and magic pools throughout the city.
The royal mages of the Erim elves usually live in the central main tower. These wise scholars study the ancient blueprints that have just been extracted from the database day after day, and modify and adjust them so that they can be used in The things used on this new planet, part of the energy of the magic tower, is for them to put these blueprints into practice.
On this special day today, most of the energy supply of the Royal Mage Tower has been temporarily adjusted, and the energy flow of the city is temporarily managed by another control station. The temporary facility that was hastily built during the landing was still useful today. As for the Magic Tower itself—after most of the personnel were evacuated and various security systems were put online, it had become a dedicated testing ground for Vivienne.
There is a sky-blue circular hall at the top of the magic tower. The ground in the hall is engraved with complex runes and compound magic circles, and the surrounding walls are inlaid with mana crystals and gemstones with various functions. More than a dozen people The royal magister Arim was busy beside the control circle in the corner of the hall, constantly inputting new data and fine-tuning the energy flow of the magic tower on the screens suspended in mid-air, while Vivian stood in the center of the hall, her feet Stepping on the central node, although she showed a confident posture before, she seems a little nervous now.
Hao Ren and his party stood outside the range of the magic circle with Hilda, and the holy elf queen nodded to Hao Ren: "Please rest assured, this magic tower has the most complete security measures, and it provides additional Magic power can definitely reduce the pressure on Lady Vivienne, she can use most of her energy to control the magic power itself."
"To be honest, I also thought about letting Vivienne conduct experiments directly in space or in the uninhabited area of this planet," Hao Ren said, "In this way, even if the experiment fails, the loss can be minimized."
"Let me be blunt, any magic experiment needs a stable environment and a lot of supporting facilities." Hilda shook her head lightly, "Risk is unavoidable, a qualified magic researcher will only think about how to conduct experiments It is better to reduce the risk under the premise, rather than avoiding the risk completely, otherwise it would be better to give up the experiment directly?"
Hao Ren hummed. He knew that the biggest risk of the "Red Moon Project" actually came from the red moon itself. The moonlight is a deadly thing. Under normal circumstances, the arrival of the red moon is bound to be accompanied by the destructive moonlight. Therefore, letting Vivian summon the red moon means that everything around the summoning field is in danger of being destroyed by the moonlight, which is why he planned to let Vivian hold the summoning ceremony in the no-man's land of New Ayrim Star—but After that unexpected "backtracking journey", Vivienne retrieved her lost power and memory in the past ten thousand years, and touched the mysterious red crystal in the depths of her consciousness. She was finally able to control the power of the red moon freely, including manually turning off the erosiveness of the moonlight.
So in the end, they decided to use the magical facilities of the Erim elves to complete this test.
But the risk still exists, even if the red moon will not go out of control, mobilizing such a huge amount of energy itself means danger, but as Hilda said: how can there be an experiment without a little risk
As long as all kinds of pre-safety work are done in place, it will be fine.
The data terminal floats in mid-air, projecting a summary of various space facilities: "The mobile satellite is in place, testing the radar systems... The radar systems are in good condition, temporarily switching to the optical observation mode.
"Observation stations 1-16 moved into position, releasing probes... Probes anchored.
"The signals of the sensors on the ground are normal, and they are calling sequentially... The sequential calls are over, and the information link is normal."
The various facilities left behind to help the Erim elves settle on this planet came in handy again. A large number of mobile satellites and observation stations stared at the predetermined positions in space, waiting for the arrival of the red moon. time.
"There are still fifteen minutes before the summoning begins." Hao Ren looked at Vivian, "Don't be nervous, just follow the previous rehearsal, this is just an ordinary summoning, you get the red moon out, and the rest Just leave it to me."
Vivian took a deep breath, her heart slowly calmed down, and she smiled slightly: "Well, don't worry."
Hao Ren nodded and looked at Lily who was not far away: "How is the emergency stop device?"
Lily was standing on the edge of the magic circle holding the alloy giant X7 sword. After hearing Hao Ren's voice, she immediately swung the giant sword excitedly, shaking her tail vigorously: "The emergency stop device is ready to work at any time!"
"Damn it, I always think there's something wrong with this emergency stop device..." Hao Ren rubbed his forehead, "Vivian, are you sure you don't want to change to a more normal design? For example, something like an energy interrupter..."
"That's unreliable," Vivienne shook her head. "The red moon is a summoned object. As long as it takes shape, it can last for a long time even if the energy supply is interrupted. The only way is to interrupt my spiritual connection with it. The fastest way The solution is to make me lose consciousness—I borrowed an energy blaster from you before and you didn’t borrow it, so I can only ask the big dog to help. Now my only worry is that the big dog will avenge its private revenge later and come and shoot randomly. Can't do it..."
Lily jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on: "Bat, if you slander me like that again, I'll really shoot you! Aren't you happy that I spared my meal time to be your guardian?"
Hao Ren covered his forehead: "Are you wielding a 200-jin alloy steel protector..."
But no matter what, since Vivienne took the initiative to ask Lily to help, and the two of them have reached a consensus, let them play as they please. Anyway, besides Lily, there are still a group of people here to look after them, so they can't get out. situation.
Five minutes before the summoning ceremony, Hilda gave instructions to the royal magisters, and the dome of the hall began to slowly open.
Accompanied by the sound of mechanical vibrations, the blue dome depicting the stars above the crowd slowly unfolded to both sides, and the last ray of light at dusk also sprinkled into the hall in due course.
Vivienne closed her eyes, and then a low buzzing sound sounded from the bottom of the hall, and powerful magical energy began to gather at her feet.
"The red moon will appear in five minutes, ring the bell."
The melodious bell echoed in the city of stars, and the elves who heard the bell raised their heads one after another, looking up at the sky with some expectation, waiting for the red moon to come.
For these elves who have never seen the horror of the Moon of Destruction, "Red Moon" is just a strange term full of mystery, and they are only curious about it.
"I'm going to space for observation," Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal next to him. "The others stay here with you. Keep in touch and don't hang up."
Vivienne still closed her eyes, but nodded lightly: "Yes."
With the teleportation light flashing, Hao Ren has arrived on the bridge of Juguiyantai in space.
"Turn on panoramic optical observation and activate additional shields."
Nolan's voice came from all directions: "Understood."
In the next instant, all the walls and barriers on the Juguiyantai bridge were replaced by holographic images. Except for the metal platform under Hao Ren's feet and the console in front of him, everything disappeared. The scene of the starry sky poured in from all directions.
This gave Hao Ren the illusion that the spaceship had disappeared and he was directly floating in space.
But Nolan's voice still came from all directions, reminding him of the existence of the spaceship: "The red moon will appear in a minute, the information link has been connected, and the information of each terminal will be fed back in real time."
Hao Ren looked forward, and he saw stars twinkling in the vast space, and the occasional lights of mobile satellites and space observatories in the distance were like fireflies in the dark, while Ariem was below his field of vision, and had become a A blue ball the size of a football.
"The red moon will appear in ten seconds."
Hao Ren clenched his hand tightly, then let it go slowly. He took a deep breath and softly counted every second while exhaling slowly.
A ripple appeared in space.
Immediately afterwards, this ripple instantly expanded into a spherical space half the size of the moon. The red light trembled and spread violently between the ripples, and filled the entire field of vision within one or two breaths!
The red moon has come - where it's expected.
It really is a reachable celestial body, a space object that can be observed in the universe, not an atmospheric phantom that can only be observed on the surface!
