Magic Tower Starry Sky

Is it okay to predict the date of Liuxing Lianju?

Of course not, as an astronomy enthusiast and professional, how could it be possible to be satisfied with such superficial predictions.

But if we want to continue to improve in precision, there is another thing that must be precisely defined, and that is time.

The biggest reason why this work has not been done is that the original observation data is insufficient. Although after becoming a formal magician, before starting to explore the starry sky, I thought about defining these tools that can be used precisely. Even if it doesn't reach the height of the 21st century on earth, it is much better than the rough way of the natives of the lost world.

But this should be very important work, but has not been able to start, the main thing is to run around for life. In order to save an application fee for entering the magic tower, Lin Ke took two magic apprentices who couldn't even meditate, and started a wild life of life and death. Maybe it's an exaggeration to say it's wild, but the magical enlightenment of the two girls was really done in the wilderness.

The time that they can stay safely in Wulian City is basically waiting for the next good job opportunity, or occasionally missing some jobs that can be completed in the city, but such jobs are very few. In such a situation of running around, there is naturally no way to make astronomical observations and record data.

This situation was not really improved until they settled in the Tower of the Great Sage. It can be said that this magic tower, in addition to computerizing it as the most important calculation tool, is to allow Lin to have a fixed place to observe celestial bodies with peace of mind.

As for the source of income originally considered, it was planned to rely on the association's monthly subsidy to eat and wait for death. So Lin is still very concerned about the progress of the two apprentices, after all, their grades are related to the amount of their subsidies. However, the unexpected joy brought by the browser and the forum has made my hand much more lenient.

It has been one year and six months since he entered the Tower of the Great Sage. The observational data has been accumulated to a certain extent, and the subsequent calculations can be carried out.

Considering the possibility of expanding manpower in the future and joining the great cause of calculation and observation, Lin does not intend to recreate a calendar. Instead, the original calendar and timekeeping methods of the lost world are expanded and defined until the accuracy is usable.

That being said, there are many calendars with different systems in the Lost World itself. And there is almost no definition of time. Even if it is as rigorous as a magician, no one seems to care about this aspect.

To say that a calendar accepted by most people is also used by the vast majority of magicians. It is the Aram calendar established by the sect of Enki, the **** of knowledge and the representative **** of the eight powers.

Take the shortest point of the sundial shadow as the record. The shortest point goes through a cycle of 365 days, which is the year defined by the Aramaic calendar. Among them, there are thirteen months, corresponding to the names of the twelve ancient gods, and one month has no name, and some people call it the hidden moon.

Each month is exactly the twenty-eight days of a cycle of Nanna, which is divided into four weeks, each week has seven days. And there is a single day that does not belong to any month. And this single day, as well as the previously mentioned hidden moon, which day or which month it falls on is determined by astrologers, and there is no rule to follow that can be recognized at a glance.

But under Lin's observation, the number of days in each year should be 365.2422 days. That is, one day will be added every four years, but one day will be lost every one hundred and twenty-eight years...

If it weren't for the two satellites in the sky, Lin looked at the calculated numbers and doubted certain possibilities. As for when Yinyue and Duri should be placed, Lin suspects that there is also a rule, but the matrix of the cycle is too large to be ignored by this world without mathematics. For this part, it is necessary to collect past calendars, compare them, and summarize them so that they can be verified.

As for the time within a day, it was determined in a curious study after digitizing the eight power units. The time of one unit of change of one unit power is defined as one unit second, and no matter this change is plus one or minus one, and one solar day will pass through 86400000 unit seconds.

And this time, no matter which kind of power is used as the observation unit, or the power of multiple units increases or decreases by the same number of units, it also passes through one unit second.

Then a certain time traveler trembled again. Just like the old sci-fi movie I watched, at the end of the first episode of the Planet of the Apes in the 1960s, when the astronauts who thought they had come to an alien planet saw the collapsed Statue of Liberty, they screamed in agony . It's how I feel now.

Tremblingly redefine one unit of second as one millisecond, one thousand milliseconds as one second, sixty seconds as one minute, sixty minutes as one hour, and one solar day has twenty-four hours. Only then will there be the result of the previous calculation that the number of days in a year is 365.2422 days. And is this result some kind of weird coincidence, or is there another reason? No solution…

Putting aside the distracting thoughts of not having an answer, Lin set up a third server besides the domain name server and web server, the standard time server. But it has not been announced to the public yet, and only three people, master and apprentice, are using it.

After getting the precise time, Lin used the light magic to form a light sphere to simulate the relative position changes of the six planets and the sun and stars in the star system. And calculate the exact time when the six planets enter the fan-shaped area with the smallest angle.

If you want to actually observe, Midi is the fourth planet in the star system, and the three planets between Chidi, Zhidi, and Zuodi between Sun and Sun. If you want to observe, you must use special means. Even in the Lost Land, the human eye cannot look directly at the sun, and there is no related magic to avoid it.

On the other side, the connection between the force-earth and the energy-earth star may be blocked by the phenomenon of lunar eclipse. But all of this depends on the area where the Tower of the Great Sage is located, what kind of phenomena can be observed, or nothing can be observed. After all, Star Midi rotates on its own axis, and the Tower of the Great Sage is just a small spot on Star Midi, unable to observe the complete starry sky with the naked eye.

However, when the calculation results came out, Lin was stunned again. The Tower of the Great Sage happened to be in the area where the total lunar eclipse could be observed. That is to say, when six plus two stars are connected, the tower of the great sage is also on the shadow side of this straight line, impartial.

Counting consecutive calculations, they all got the same result, reminding Lin of a saying on Earth: too many coincidences come together, and it is not a coincidence.

This series of coincidences made someone feel uneasy. It is difficult to look at what will happen this time with the pure mood of welcoming the astronomical event. Because this is a mysterious side world with gods and magic.

Maybe a few stars in succession can only be used as a means of political propaganda by the ancient emperors on the earth, and in fact nothing happened. But in the Lost World, Lin didn't dare to think like that. Not only did he learn how to use magic, but he even saw real miracles several times, such as the resurrection of the dead, and the resurrection of the dead. These are by no means things that can be explained by the earth science he knows.

In the following time, Lin did not wait for the result to come. Instead, various factors are constantly added to improve the stellar system diagram that he simulates. Including the size and mass of each planet, the angle and distance between its orbit and Midi, observable satellites and asteroid belts. By adding new elements, taking into account the gravitational force between the planets, simulating and calculating the predicted value of Liuxinglianju again and again, and then getting the same result.

To be honest, to achieve such a level, Lin has already started to feel hairy.

Sitting blankly in the core room, on the swivel chair next to the console, while spinning around, while looking at the planetary distribution map formed by the light magic. After inputting parameters such as the orbit, speed, and planetary characteristic values ​​into the program, according to the date and data that Lin started to observe after he came to the Tower of the Great Sage, the computerized Magic Tower showed a dynamic evolution in multiples. And one of the water mirror screens in front of the console is the time represented by the change of the star map.

From a light sphere that initially represented Midi, as the observation data continued to increase, the positions of various planets and sun stars were also added to the star map one by one. The increased parameters are also reflected in the photosphere representing planets and stars; for example, if the radius data of the star is added, the photosphere will increase proportionally. Then the orbit is generated and the revolution begins.

On the ball of light ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ representing the lost land, there is also an arrow, which represents the position of the Tower of the Great Sage on the lost ground. It also shows Midi's rotation. When time ran to the end, it was not supported by observational data, but predicted trajectory, and the star map stopped at the position of six stars. The satellites and arrows of Midi star point to the two planets of force-earth and energy-earth in unison. The time stayed three days later, at 11:54 midnight.

Then Lin threw up...

Too many turns in the swivel chair and the third semicircular canal lost its balance, so Lin fell off the chair, fell to his knees, and threw up a mess.

He urgently called two young apprentices to clean up the mess, while Lin slumped on the chair, staring blankly at the changes in the dynamic star map that was played back and forth.

While cleaning up the mess, the two girls watched the ball of light spin. He exclaimed, "Wow, it's so beautiful. Teacher, what is this?"

"This is our galaxy. The largest one in the middle is the sun star."

Looking at the ball of light that occupied half of the core room, the two girls counted the six small **** of light rotating around the periphery in sequence. "Blazing ground, wisdom ground, seat ground, fan ground, force ground, and energy ground. Teacher, is this size right? Why is the ground of confusion about the size of a firefly, but the sun and stars are so big?"

With such a question, Lin Wei's spirit was lifted again. Think about the astronomical observation data of the ancients on the earth, they are all measured in years, or even centuries. I have only recorded it for more than a year. Perhaps the lack of data caused the calculation and prediction errors.

But then he went limp again. It’s just that within the stellar system, the stars that can be observed with the naked eye will be wrong, so do we still have to think about the stars outside the stellar system?

In the future, is it necessary to launch artificial satellites, build space telescopes, and find ways to minimize the interference factors in the atmosphere? There are countless problems to be solved, which makes a certain traveler feel worried about gains and losses.
