The matter of Marchioness Barland was put aside for the time being. Not to mention that the girl, who had no personality and only knew how to run away before, couldn't make a decision so quickly. The deacons and servants who surrounded and took care of her would naturally report this matter to Grand Duke Carvey. That old man should have multiple plans to deal with various options.
For Lin, the Abyss observation plan was the most important project in the near future.
Since the preliminary preparations had been completed, it was now between the early hours of the morning to collect information in the Abyss. At noon, he returned to Estali's home in the Holy City of Mystical Lands for lunch. In the afternoon, of course, he had math classes at Kabamba College, and then he sorted out the information in the evening.
As more and more observation data accumulated, the progress of the plan was slowly advancing. After all, for data science, the scariest thing was that there wasn't enough data to make a representative model and determine the true face of things. No matter how large the amount of data was, there was nothing to be afraid of. At most, the processing time would be a little slower.
The most valuable part of the progress was the automatic screening of the data to be retained and the parts that could be excluded through the cross-comparison of images and data through the method of machine learning. Although this part didn't involve the research of radio waves from deep space, it was a great improvement to be able to reduce P-level data to T-level data.
On Kaya's side, there was also quite gratifying progress. She had found the reason why the sky of the Abyss obscured the stars behind it. The key, of course, was the extremely small suspended particles that were unique to the Abyss. They were scattered at a relatively high concentration and were self-defined as "Abyss Sand," which contained authority.
On Earth, the reason why the sky was blue was because of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. When sunlight passed through the atmosphere, extremely tiny air particles would process the different frequencies of light in the sunlight differently. Because the wavelength of the blue light was short, the scattering situation was more intense, so it would fill the entire sky and make the sky blue.
And the Abyss Sand was even smaller than the most notorious PM2.5 on Earth. It was a microparticle at the atomic or monomolecular level. And the difference from Earth was that the Abyss Sand had eight more kinds of authority, an unreasonable product of magic. Because of this, the entire sky of the Abyss seemed to be shrouded in a natural magic barrier.
And because the Abyss Sand didn't refer to a specific substance or element, it had countless types. The authority it contained also didn't have a specific sequence, and there were also countless types. This characteristic created the chaotic reality of the Abyss.
The Abyss Sand also affected the sky here. The Rayleigh scattering characteristic on Earth could be said to have reached the level of refraction in the Abyss. Apart from a portion of direct stellar light that could pass through the atmosphere of the Abyss, most of the spectral light was blocked outside. Even if someone wanted to observe, most of the radio waves from deep space were filtered by the unreasonable atmosphere of the Abyss.
Other than the fact that the people outside couldn't enter, the people inside couldn't leave either. The sky of the Abyss was like a mirror. Not only did it reflect the light that shone in, but it also sealed the climate of the Abyss and prevented it from leaking out.
The former made it so that the Abyss did not have a clear distinction between day and night. No matter what time it was, it always felt like dawn.
There were many reasons for the latter. For example, in this environment where there was so little sunlight, why would people feel stifling and unbearable? Lin had measured the temperature in the Abyss for many days, and it was never lower than 38 degrees Celsius.
This was because the Abyss was rich in active volcanoes and lava rivers were everywhere. A large amount of geothermal heat emitted was locked by the sky full of Abyss Sand and couldn't dissipate into outer space. This caused the internal temperature to remain high even without sufficient sunlight. It was unlike Earth, where volcanic ash from meteorites covered the sky and blocked the sunlight. Due to the sudden drop in temperature, it would cause a large-scale extinction of life.
As for the fact that the sky looked gray, it was because the sky of the Abyss reflected the appearance of the surface to a certain extent. It was just that this image wasn't very clear, and even some scattering and refraction phenomena would make the image reflected by the sky of the Abyss even more blurry, turning it into what everyone saw.
Now that they knew the reason for the obstruction of observation, they naturally had to think of a solution. And it felt like there was no way to solve it from a scientific point of view this time. Because one of the important factors was the omnipresent Abyss Sand that contained authority. Then they should think of a solution from the perspective of magic.
At this time, a very special causal magic entered someone's eyes — Liz Dean's Reality.
The original function of this magic was to see through camouflage created by magic, including all kinds of phantoms, illusions, magic barriers, magic traps, and so on. It was one of the countless "see through" types of magic, which wasn't very eye-catching.
Most sorcerers would choose another famous spell when learning how to see through illusions – Alkena's Illusion Breaking Spell. This magic could see through illusion-type camouflage and then reveal the general outline of the person under the camouflage.
For example, some goblin priests were very good at using the Dragon Illusion spell, which allowed them to put on a lifelike dragon camouflage. Using Alkor's ability to see through the illusion, he was able to see through the illusion and detect the small goblin's figure hidden inside.
Alker's Vision was easy to learn, low consumption, easy to use, and because the magic wasn't cast on the target, it wouldn't arouse the other party's vigilance or displeasure. However, it wasn't without its shortcomings. The most critical part was that the true appearance of the target couldn't be seen clearly.
The Vision was probably at the level of "Oh, it's an illusion," "Oh, what's the thing inside," and so on. However, this level of protection was enough for mages who were in a dangerous environment, or mages who didn't know that they were in danger. Because if they noticed something strange, they would be alert. As long as they were prepared, mages were very difficult to deal with.
But there were always people who wanted to be better, to be able to restore the real appearance more clearly, or to have other requirements. Therefore, on the basis of Alker's Vision, many "see through" types of magic were derived.
Lin had chosen Liz Dean's Truth because this spell had a unique way of cracking illusions among the many options available to it. "If there was no power, what would the thing in front of me look like?" With this sentence as the preface, Liz Dean's Reality spell left a deep impression in someone's mind.
In magic, anything that involved "ifs," "ifs," and so on could be classified as magic related to the law of causality. The common thing about this type of magic was that it was difficult to learn and difficult to use. But as long as it was successfully cast, the effect could also be guaranteed.
Another reason for choosing Liz Dean's Reality spell was that the "see through" effect of this spell had nothing to do with how many layers of illusions the target received, nor did it have to do with the size of the target.
Some of the see through spells would be more difficult to cast or consume more power because the larger the target, or the more complex the illusions applied to it, the more difficult it was to cast, or the more power it consumed. It could even break the disguise at the same time it saw through it.
Liz Dean's Reality spell didn't care about this at all. It directly selected a result from the river of time, among the countless past, future, and parallel universes, which was not interfered with by power, and presented it in front of the caster's eyes.
Rather than using other see through spells to challenge the infinite amount of Abyss Sand that covered the entire sky of the Abyss, it was better to directly show an "if." Because what was seen this way would be a different scene. However, there would also be the problem of the observer effect. Was what they saw really real, or was it just the "real" they wanted to see?
Of course, someone had once considered another, more scientific method. It was to use Blink to transfer the telescope outside the atmosphere of the Abyss, and then send back the records of the observations.
However, there was a premise for doing so: the Abyss was really a planet in the same universe, or a similar universe, as he hypothesized. It would only be meaningful if it was a planet with an atmosphere to send the telescope out.
Otherwise, it would just be sending things to an unknown place and waiting for him to send back some random things. If it was just some junk information that came back, it would be fine; but if it brought back some not-so-good existence, wouldn't it be terrible for him?
What was the point of Hollywood's sci-fi horror movies? Wasn't it all about the scientists courting death and provoking something they shouldn't have provoked? With a certain someone's character of seeking stability in everything, how could he do something that was obviously setting himself up?
Besides, what was the result of sending a satellite into the sky before? Not only was it knocked down, but in order to save the satellite, he was also seriously injured and had to rest for a long time. He didn't want to experience that kind of experience again. Therefore, some of the overly courting actions were avoided if possible.
However, why would he choose a magic that was closer to metaphysics than science? It was quite different from what a certain someone had done before. It could only be said that in such an environment, he had seen too many unreasonable things. In order to save his life, how could he not touch this kind of knowledge at all? However, as long as he touched it, how could he not want to try and see what the outcome would be?
Compared to the most important private work of a certain someone recently, which was the study of Great Prophecy, Liz Dean's True Magic was nothing. Besides, Lin had an idea that it wasn't impossible to combine two different kinds of knowledge. Perhaps it didn't make sense, but as long as the results could be used, perhaps the combination of the two could be a benign combination that one plus one was greater than two.
The most important point was that if the method of using Liz Dean's True Magic didn't work, it would just be a waste of some time and magic materials to make the equipment, not a loss of life. Therefore, a certain someone could still afford to do such an experiment. There was even less reason not to try this very unscientific magic.
