He went through the calculations again and again, wondering if there was anything wrong with his program logic. He tried hard to think if there were any important factors that he had not considered. When he was annoyed by these things, Lin stopped doing these meaningless things. This was because the result of the prediction did not change much. On the contrary, the more accurate it was, the more frightening it was.
At this time, he began to study the star chart in the dining hall that had been preserved by the Tower of the Great Sage for thousands of years. He dismantled the magic array behind it and analyzed the meaning of each pattern. There were still many things that he did not understand. The most important thing was that this star chart was different from Lin's own predictions.
The closer it was to the time of the alignment of the six stars, the more Lin believed in his own calculations and not the thousand-year-old star chart. What could have caused such an error?
The part of the thousand-year-old star chart that Lin could understand was about the positions and trajectories of the planets. The reason why he was able to successfully analyze it was because he had been thinking about this part of the program. Whether it was a program to a magic array or a magic array to a program, there was a certain pattern that could be followed. As long as one of the key points was understood, everything would be understood.
However, the magic arrays and patterns related to the trajectories of the planets in the thousand-year-old star chart only made up a small part of the whole. Lin felt that the rest of the densely packed stuff was familiar, but he had no idea where it came from.
It was the complexity of this part and the density of the magic patterns that made Lin mistakenly think that the layout of the Magic Tower was normal. Therefore, the recent modification of the energy channels of the Magic Tower was far less difficult than the magic patterns behind the thousand-year-old star chart. Lin was also sincerely impressed by the wisdom of the ancient people in the Land of the Lost.
It was just that a certain transmigrator did not know that the original situation of the wall where only one channel of magic power passed through each brick was the normal layout of the Magic Tower. The complexity of this thousand-year-old star chart was one of the reasons why the previous masters of the Tower of the Great Sage did not tear down this wall.
The previous masters simply felt that this wall was an eyesore and wanted to tear it down. However, they could not guarantee that the destruction of the wall would not negatively affect the energy transmission of the other parts, so they did not dare to do it. Or perhaps they wanted to tear down this wall and move it to another place to continue their research. However, they could not guarantee that they could put it back together and maintain its original function. This was the only reason why the Great Sage's Tower had been preserved in its original state for thousands of years.
And this star chart that had been carefully preserved for thousands of years was actually wrong! Was it the wisdom of the creator of the Tower of the Great Sage, the Warlock Saint Anatoly, who was also known as the Great Sage, that could not defeat the baptism of a thousand years of time, or were there other factors?
In fact, during the research process, Lin Xiang found a reason that he was very unwilling to admit. After the three of them had moved into the Tower of the Great Sage, they had suspended the energy supply for several days in order to repair the tower. Although during the renovation process, they discovered that the Thousand-Year-Old Star Map Wall still had an energy supply and continued to operate. Because of this, the three of them were extremely surprised.
But thinking about it carefully, would stopping the supply of energy really have no effect on the Star Map Wall? Just like on Earth, ordinary electric lights, elevators, and other electrical equipment only needed backup generators to maintain the power supply. However, the computer equipment required the use of the Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) to maintain normal operation. Otherwise, if the original power supply was interrupted, the computer would restart after switching to the backup power supply.
Then, regarding the backup power supply of the Star Map Wall, which Great Sage did the Uninterruptible Power System, or was it simply a backup power supply?
In other words, rather than questioning the wisdom of the ancient people from a thousand years ago, it was more likely that there was an error in the Thousand-Year-Old Star Map Wall.
"Ah ~" Lin rolled on the floor of the nuclear room a few times, a little bit wanting to escape from reality.
Speaking of which, if this matter was messed up, would there be any negative effects? It shouldn't be a big deal.
But according to Murphy's Law …
"Ah ~"
In order to change his mood, or perhaps to escape from reality, Lin called the two little disciples over.
"It has been more than a year since you obtained the qualifications of a First Circle apprentice. During this time, I let you self-study Second Circle magic. Although you are allowed to ask me at any time, I haven't seen you ask me many times. So, as your teacher, today, I will test the results of your self-study. "
With this as the beginning, Lin Sheng began to unscrupulously trample on the two little girls. This was completely different from the advancement test for apprentices. In order to test their students' proficiency in apprentice-level magic, the Magicians in the Maze World would use actual combat standards to drill them.
Generally speaking, when the teacher used a certain spell, the apprentices would have to use the corresponding spell to counteract or break it. If the spell failed, the apprentices would inevitably be punished. The more conscientious ones would tell the apprentices that they were going to use the spell before the start of the test. The apprentices only needed to be prepared and cast the spell at the right time. The less conscientious ones would treat it as a test of their reaction time and magic knowledge.
Lin Sheng had seen a famous military movie on Earth, and it was catchy in front of his two students: What is reasonable is called training, and what is unreasonable is called tempering. So now, Marco Lin was working very hard to train his two little disciples.
During this time, the two dogs, which were already larger than humans, returned to the forest around the Tower of the Great Sage. Originally, they wanted to act coquettishly with their master and see if they could get some cooked food to eat.
But when they saw the Tower Master who occupied the territory on the third floor come downstairs and was training their master, they silently retreated to the forest and looked for other small animals to fill their bellies with. There was no other way. The shadow in their young hearts was still there, and it probably would not disappear for the rest of their lives.
Although it was rare for Lin Sheng to train his two little disciples, who had been playing crazily during this period of time, he still had a bottom line. All he did was make his two little disciples in a sorry state, with disheveled hair and dirty faces, and eat a few mouthfuls of dirt. It was not to the extent of breaking their limbs or taking their lives. But for girls in their early teens, this kind of lesson was enough.
Time passed, and the sky gradually darkened. Lin Sheng looked at the two little girls who were holding back tears and biting their lower lips. It was not the first time he saw such an expression. As apprentices with no background and no home to return to, the girls' minds were more mature than the average person of the same age, and they clearly knew that they were their biggest support. So they did not complain, but it did not mean that they did not feel wronged.
Lin Sheng felt that it was about time, so he sent the two girls to take a good bath and tidy themselves up. Marco Lin did not intend to let the two girls miss out on the astronomical event that night. As for dinner, he would personally prepare it himself.
As a former fat otaku, Lin Yi was the kind of person who was not particular about food at all. Basically, anything that was convenient and could quickly fill one's stomach was good food. Of course, when there were conditions to pay attention to, he would not abuse himself.
Tonight's event could be said to be long-awaited, so Lin Sheng prepared a few good dishes to reward himself, and also as a way to comfort the two girls. As for the two big dogs, Gray Hoof and White Nose, who had entered the hall on the first floor of the Magic Tower with their tongues hanging out, they were ignored by someone.
But he saw the two dogs pull the animal skins used to make their beds into the Magic Tower, as if they wanted to stay in the Magic Tower tonight. Lin Sheng guessed that perhaps their beastly instincts made them feel that something was unusual today, so they unusually entered the Magic Tower to spend the night, and not as usual, under the big shed outside the Magic Tower.
Although he did not intend to serve the two dogs, he did not intend to drive them out either. After dinner, Lin Sheng instructed the two girls to pack up some travel items and put them in their backpacks to prepare. If something unexpected happened, such as the Magic Tower falling down, they would not be buried in the ground with all their belongings.
When everything was ready, the three of them sat around the observatory, using a small stove to roast meat while listening to their teacher talk about the mysteries of the sky.
The Nanna Moon was perfect like a mirror, hanging high in the sky. The girls took turns to observe the large and small potholes on the surface of the Nanna Moon through the astronomical telescope.
For the first time, Lin Sheng tried to use a language that even elementary school students could understand to describe his research and achievements during this period of time. Of course, many complicated mathematical formulas and precise data were omitted. Instead, easier to understand metaphors were used to let people understand the meaning of the unimaginably large astronomical numbers.
The two girls did not feel bored at all. Instead, they listened with great interest. It could only be said that the entertainment in the Maze World was too lacking. As long as it was something different, it would attract people's attention. The children's unformed ideas were gradually separated from the original ideas of the Maze World through the narration of Lin Sheng, a transmigrator.
It was impossible to talk about the incident in the sky in one night, even if it was a shortened version. As the predicted time approached, although Lin Sheng was in the observatory room, he still turned on a few screens with the Water Mirror Spell. One showed the time, and the other was the surveillance screen in Doge's Magic Tower. The largest screen in the middle was the Millennium Star Map Wall in the restaurant. Lin Sheng was worried that when the six stars aligned, the wall would have unexpected changes.
Other than that, he turned on the scale of the star map. In everyone's eyes, the six planets had entered a narrow sector, as if they were connected in a straight line. Lin Sheng knew that this was an illusion without any reference. If they were really compared to a line, the six planets would not obediently stay on the line.
The most important thing was that Lin Sheng turned on the recording program. In fact, it was just setting up two more surveillance screens on the observatory and the astronomical telescope. Whether it was for the astronomical spectacle in front of them or for future observation records, it was imperative to preserve as much and as accurate information as possible. So, of course, Lin Sheng used all the technology he had now. It was to preserve this scene that would only appear once every 120 years.
"Teacher, look, a black shadow has appeared in the corner of Nana's moon," Hallumi shouted excitedly.
It was 11: 54 p.m. Nana's moon, which was hanging high in the sky, began to cover Gudalana's moon behind it. Under normal circumstances, the two moons would stagger and not overlap. At the same time, a circular black shadow appeared in a small corner to the east of Nana's moon. As time passed, Gudalana's moon became smaller and smaller, and the black shadow on Nana's moon became larger.
The six plus two stars aligned was about to enter the sector with the smallest angle.
At this time, the Tower of the Great Sage began to tremble slightly.
