Sword of Daybreaker

"Two shadows?!" In Cecil Palace, Gawain stood up from his chair in astonishment after hearing Miermina's reply. He stared at the communication interface in front of him, and a few seconds passed. Then he said in a hurried tone, "You mean, you observed that two magic tide waves are approaching us?"

"I'm not sure, because the sensor array is not returning very clear images, but a series of extremely complex mathematical descriptions," Mirmina has already begun to organize and upload all the data to Cecil City. In the analysis department, she herself was answering Gao Wen's question while rechecking the previous system records, "According to the results of the analysis of the vibration focus, there are two sets of observation parameters with obvious deviations superimposed on the same position..."

In the communication screen, Miermina's brows furrowed tightly, she quickly checked everything recorded by the vibrating focus, and hesitated for a few seconds before continuing: "But this is unreasonable... how is this possible? What? Even if there are two magic tides, how can they be superimposed in the same position at the same time? This is not in line with our understanding of magic tides at all... Not to mention that there are no two magic tides at all! As the origin of this universe, the shock , it should be unique!"

Gawain put his hands on the desk, but he quickly forcibly controlled his emotions. The amazing accident that happened in this first observation was indeed far beyond his expectations, but the accident was not enough to affect him most. Basic rational judgment, after thinking quickly in his head for a moment, he broke the silence with a deep voice: "Maybe it's just a hardware failure, after all, such a huge system, and it was built in a hurry, and it appeared when it was first started. Any kind of abnormal situation is possible. You first check the whole system, then reset the vibration focus, and we will scan the deep space again to see if there is any change in the data the second time.”

"Okay, I've started a self-inspection of the entire observation device," Miermina nodded immediately, "Let's cut off the communication first, and this time I want to eliminate all possible interference factors."

Gawain nodded, then watched the communication interface in front of him quickly go out and dimmed. Then he raised his head and saw Heidi and Rebecca, who were standing in front of him with visibly nervous expressions.

Today is the day of the trial operation of the Magic Tide Observation Device. They are just as concerned about the progress of this matter as Gawain, especially Rebecca, who participated in the analysis of the first batch of Noy blueprints at that time. In this sense, , That huge "Eye of the Stars" can run also has her share of credit and obviously, neither she nor Heidi had expected such an accident to occur.

"The information sent by the Noi didn't say that the observation device might have such a situation," Rebecca was the first to break the silence, she pinched the buttons near the hem of her clothes a little nervously, "they said in the information Hundreds of possible faults and corresponding solutions are listed, but there is no mention of what to do when two magical waves are observed..."

"Theoretically, there are no two magic tides in this universe," Gao Wen took a deep breath and said while his mind was spinning rapidly, "According to the theoretical model, the magic tide is unique as the initial shock in the universe, even if it spreads during the process. A wave-like structure is formed in the wave, and it even spreads and spreads into a kind of ripples covering the entire starry sky. On the other hand, the waveform changes presented by these 'ripples' are affected by the nearby large celestial bodies, so it is impossible for two magic wave waveforms to appear at the same location and at the same time, and the two waveform parameters are not consistent. …”

"So it's really a hardware failure?" Rebecca said quickly, "Some sensor nodes don't vibrate correctly? But they shouldn't... It's not that those nodes will definitely not be a problem, but the sensor array itself It has the functions of mutual correction and redundant comparison. Even if some nodes are really faulty, it will at most lead to fuzzy observation results, weak signals and difficult to parse. How can two sets of parameters appear directly? Not to mention the system self-checking. But not a single error was reported..."

Listening to Rebecca's murmured analysis, Gawain also had countless conjectures surging in his mind. The two sets of parameters that Milmina observed were like two ghostly phantoms, casting a shadow over the just-completed observation device. A layer of haze, but how did this "double shadow" appear? Just a mechanical failure? Or is the calculation center's analysis wrong? Some unidentified distractor? Or...

Some kind of... sinister natural phenomenon that even the Noi didn't know about, and that even the Noi's forerunners didn't expect?

"Ancestor, there is still a question, do you want to get in touch with the Noi people?" Heidi's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Gawain's cranky thoughts, the "big housekeeper Cecil" slightly wrinkled Frowning, "We have compared the project progress with them before, and agreed to conduct an additional communication today, and now the Noi people should be waiting for our news... Or should we postpone this communication for a few days? Wait until you figure out the problem with the observation device?"

"No, contact as scheduled," Gawain did not hesitate at all, prioritizing things, he knew very well that being overconfident at this time and burying his head and fooling around would most likely be wasting the two civilizations' common survival time, "We directly put the observation device on the Circumstances tell them that this thing was designed by the Noy people, and they should be able to find the problem more easily than us."

"Yes," Hetty nodded immediately, "then I'll arrange the communication line."

Under Hetty's arrangement, the contact with the Sorin command center and the super-light communication system with Noi were quickly turned into working conditions. Gawain sat behind the large desk. He had already sorted out his thoughts. At this moment, his eyes are fixed on the printing device used to record communication data on the table. This may be the most unbearable time he has waited since he established communication with the Noi people. Every minute is like a year, and after a few minutes of calling and waiting. , the printing unit finally made his familiar clicking sound.

The crisp and rhythmic sound of the axles running and the levers moving clicked, like a drum beating in my heart, and a snow-white paper tape slowly spit out from the printing port, which was a message from Nova the "Witch" from afar: "Very good. Glad to hear your voices, is the construction of the magic tide observation device completed?"

銆毯帶鹡锛鱾渶杩寜髴髴髩 inch-inche umbrella

"Yes, the magic tide observation device has been completed and the first benchmark test has been carried out, but we have encountered a problem," Gawain said immediately, without concealing the troubles encountered by Loren, "We are in When I scanned the starry sky for the first time, I read two overlapping digital models, which looked like two magic tide arrows superimposed together, is this normal? Or is there something wrong?"

After the news was sent out, the response from Noy was obviously delayed for a long time. Gawain saw clear handwriting printed on the tape: "Two superimposed sharp arrows?! Of course this is not normal under any circumstances. In the future, the observation device should only be able to scan the unique magic wave waveform, and at most it will give false readings due to weak signal or sensor failure."

Then the clicking sound of the printing device paused for a moment, and when Gawain was about to ask again, the paper tape spit out again: "We need more detailed parameter reports to provide failure analysis, including the operation records of each node of the sensor array. As well as the original files of the vibration focus in the entire scanning process, the most likely problem now may be a hardware failure, the magic tide observation device is complex and huge, and the possibility of a major failure of the sensor array exists..."

Gawain glanced at Rebecca next to him, nodded, and then responded to the Noi people: "We have sorted out the original log, and we will start sending it now. In addition..."

Just halfway through his words, there was a sudden buzzing from the magic net terminal beside the table, followed by a communication signal from the Ogure Tribal Nation, and Miermina's figure appeared in the holographic projection: " Gawain, the second benchmark scan has ended."

Gawain leaned forward slightly: "What's the result?"

"It's still two readings, one reading is superimposed on the same scanning interval like a distorted shadow of the other reading, and it is impossible to analyze the cause of this distortion," Miermina said with a particularly serious expression, "In addition, I have Complete the preliminary self-inspection of the observation device, and ask the engineers on the plain to check the working status of each node from the physical level. At least it can be confirmed that all the sensors are in normal operation. The vibrating focus is here. I am personally supervising it. It can be determined that there is no damage or failure at the hardware level."

"...But it's still impossible to determine whether the problem is inside or outside the system." Gao Wen's voice was low, and he quickly informed Noi Civilization of the results of the second test conducted by Mirmina, and in a moment After waiting, the reply from the Noi came to him.

"We have received the results of the second test, and the contents are very surprising to scholars," the paper tape slowly spit out with the clicking sound of the printing device. "In addition, the transmission of the system log file will take some time, but only from According to the parameters that have been transmitted so far, the operation of the observation device should be no problem, at least there is no structural failure enough to cause such a serious error..."

Looking at the response from the Noi people, Gawain fell into contemplation for a while, and Rebecca, who was beside him, had already started to check the documents transmitted from the "Observer's Secret Room" through the magic net terminal. After reading a part of the content, she looked up at Gao Wen: "Master Ancestor, it may take a long time to analyze all these things. I suggest that we don't wait for the analysis results first, we directly conduct a synchronized observation with Planet Noi, and then watch Can we use the scanning parameters on Noy's side to reversely calculate what is wrong with the two sets of data we scanned here..."

Gawain pondered for a while, and then informed the Noi people of Rebecca's suggestion. After a while, he got a positive reply from the opposite side: "We think this plan is feasible, and there is still an appointment before the two planets' synchronized observation windows. One hour (Loren's standard time) preparation time, Noy's observation device will be transferred to the pre-start state from now on, and we are waiting for Loren's time-setting instruction."

"Received and sent the time synchronization command one hour after confirmation."

After sending out this news, Gawain took a light breath, then turned his eyes to Miermina who was still waiting in the communication interface: "Let's prepare, we will directly conduct simultaneous observations with the Noi people."

"I'm back in the lab too," Rebecca said immediately. "The system over there can be directly connected to the Magic Tide Observation Device. I'll take the technical team to analyze the parameters in real time and maybe find out the problem."

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Gawain nodded, and Rebecca quickly ran out of the room. The magic energy technology department was not far from the central administrative area, so she arrived in less than an hour. She opened her own laboratory, and before that, she sent a message to the technical team. When she rushed into the laboratory, it was already busy.

The huge room is brightly lit, and neat magic net terminals and analysis terminals are arranged in a ring around the "central column", and the column is directly connected to the computing center in the imperial capital. It was transmitted to the computing center, and in the laboratory, the technical experts who had directly participated in the analysis of the blueprint of the magic tide observation device were frowning at the dazzling parameters and charts.

"Jenny!" Rebecca first saw Jenny standing next to the central column. This is her best friend, her most trusted assistant, and the one who knows the most about the magic tide observation device in the empire besides herself. technicians, "How's it going?"

Jenny was looking up at the holographic projection emerging in the air next to the central column at the moment, and she seemed to be in a daze, until Rebecca spoke her name for the second time, and she suddenly reacted: "Ah... I'm sorry. did not hear."

"Jenny, are you alright?" Rebecca looked at her friend with a little worry, "Have you rested yet?"

"No, I'm just..." Jenny opened her mouth, but soon turned around, her eyes fell on those projections again, "This is very wrong, the operation of the observation device is normal, but the observation results... appear unexplainable mistake."

"Is there really a 'second magic tide'?" A technician next to him muttered with concern, "Perhaps it is the shadow of the first magic tide, and our previous theories failed to foresee its existence... "

"How could there be a second magic tide!" Someone immediately retorted, "There is no second magic tide in the unified wave theory model. The data left by the pioneers of the Noi people can also prove this!"

"Don't argue about this," Jenny interrupted the meaningless argument of the two technicians, "The final data can prove everything, the theory at this stage can only be the theory at the current stage, whether the second wave of magic exists or not Existence, you can't come to a conclusion after arguing here, don't waste time on this until you figure out what's wrong with the observation device."

The two technicians closed their mouths immediately, they looked at each other and bowed their heads in front of Jenny: "Yes, Master Jenny."

Rebecca looked at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall not far away.

The time for the two planets to rotate to the "observation window" is coming, and the synchronous observation operation agreed with the Noi people will start soon.

"Go back to your respective posts first," she took a deep breath and waved her hand vigorously to give the order, "The synchronous observation window is coming soon, and we will activate the sensor array at the same time as the Noi people!"

In the study room covered with blue velvet carpet, Gawain sat in front of the desk with a calm expression.

The synchronous observation window has arrived, and the magic tide observation devices on the two planets Noy and Loren have been activated a minute ago, and began to scan the deep and vast starry sky.

Sitting in this room, he couldn't see the magnificent moment when the imposing sensor array started up and glanced at the stars, and he couldn't see the countless technicians on the two planets gathered together, staring at a large number of parameters. Breathless tense scene.

He can only sit here, waiting for a result in silence.

And this result finally came to him.

In the holographic projection, Miermina's voice sounded a little tired: "The synchronous observation is over, and the 'second shadow' in the observation results cannot be eliminated."

Outside the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, the gigantic sun was gradually rising to the highest point in the sky. On the approaching days of summer, the brilliance of the giant sun seemed to be a little brighter than that of winter.

But the bright sunshine does not make people feel the slightest warmth.

(By the way, I recommend a book, "Empire of Stars", emmmmm... It's a Xiling fancier written by an old reader. I insisted on writing more than 2 million words when the popularity was not high, and it felt very difficult. Now It is also nearing the end of the book, everyone who is interested can support it.)
