Douglas's usual evening gown had turned into a wide and flowing gray magic robe, on which countless dots and threads formed a mysterious and deep pattern, and on his head he wore a hat of the same color ancient magical empire, surrounded by shining crystals of different colors, like a small celestial system.
This kind of dress makes people suddenly realize that Douglas is not only the founder of the Magic Council, but also one of the remnants of the ancient magical empire, and the aesthetics he developed in his youth are deeply engraved in his mind.
"Lucian, thank you for your suggestion, after careful calculations and complex alchemy processes, I have made an artificial planet, and the next task is to send it into the predetermined orbit." Douglas greeted Lucian kindly, and at the same time, with a press of his right hand on the storage bag, a silver-gray sphere suddenly floated in front of him.
As the product of the first experiment, this "artificial planet" is not giant, only half the size of its body, the whole body shimmers with a silver-gray metallic luster, inlaid with various gemstones, and is carved with complex and wonderful magic lines.
"So complicated?" In Lucian's opinion, the first time it is necessary to verify that the satellite can fly around the world, it will achieve its goal, and it does not need other functions at all, and then consider the application of communication, reconnaissance, positioning, strike, etc., otherwise if there is really a problem with the gravity of this world, the satellite will not be able to orbit normally, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Douglas laughed and said, "It's not complicated, it's not complicated, the universe is full of dangers, this magic circle is a ...... to resist low temperatures" He patiently explained to Lucian the functions of the various magic circles on the outside of this silver metal ball.
Lucian shook his head in disapproval in his heart, while listening to Douglas's explanation with relish, learning the knowledge of magic circles, asking from time to time, and finally, he deliberately said with a flash of inspiration: "Your Excellency, why don't you add the signal reception and forwarding magic circle? In this way, we can determine its condition with electromagnetic signals on Earth, observe it, and provide multifaceted proof of the authenticity and reliability of the experiment."
"When I was refining gold, I kept a magic circle like a constant inside it, and the function of the main magic circle is beyond your imagination, almost comparable to legendary magic." Douglas was not annoyed by Lucian's too many questions and answered his questions very kindly.
Luciana, who was listening next to her, said curiously: "What is the function?"
"Hey, keep it a secret first, you will see it when this experiment is successful." Douglas smiled and looked at his three students.
Artia looked at this "artificial planet" with a little enthusiasm in his narrow eyes: "I can't wait to know, I can't wait to announce to those stupid guys that the teacher's theory is correct and puncture their illusory dream of 'ether medium'."
"Hmph, you declared victory before the experiment even started, you are the most idiot fool I have ever seen." Fernando unceremoniously sarcastically sarcastically said that the other party's teacher was next to him, and if it were Douglas, he would say the same.
Artie didn't dare to yell at Fernando, so he could only lower his head in slight embarrassment and accept the accusation in silence.
The tower's "Prophet" Bergner also looked at Douglas with some concern: "The reasons why the planet has not been discovered are very complex, and perhaps man-made planets cannot be observed either.
He wore the tower's special gray pointed hat, his eyebrows and beard were white, and he seemed to be not much different from other elderly people except for his eyes that were as deep as the starry sky.
Because it was the reminder of the "Prophet", Artier, Luciana, and Norman all changed their faces slightly, could it be that His Excellency the Prophet had foreseen the end of failure through astrology, wouldn't it......
Their thoughts were interrupted by Douglas as soon as they arose, and he smiled quite freely: "I have failed many times on planetary issues, and it is not a shame and despair to add another failure record. Don't see that my current strength, reputation and status are so dazzling, and forget that I have also endured countless failures."
He looked up at the illusory starry sky on half a plane and felt it: "The world is so vast and deep, the deeper we explore, the more we can feel our own insignificance, what the original scene of the world is like, and what the final destination of all kinds of questions will be, we can't imagine yet. All unknown things are worthy of awe, and we cannot blindly reject and resist them just because we don't know them yet and can't explore them, so we avoid them from a distance and don't study them."
"If our experiment today is successful, it proves that we humans can also create planets and create worlds, but we have just taken the first step!"
Speaking of this, Douglas's smiling gaze turned to Lucian: "And all this thanks to Lucian, his unrestrained thoughts, his ability to think backwards, freed me from the shackles of past experience.
Uh, a small step for Your Excellency, a big step for humanity? Lucian had no consciousness of being praised, and silently slandered Douglas's words.
Fernando noticed his student's absent-mindedness, glared at him fiercely, and then said to Douglas: "Don't be verbose, the success testimonials should wait until they are successful, otherwise it will become a joke."
"Prophet" Begner also smiled and explained to Altia and others: "What I just said was not a prophecy, but a concern for an old friend.
The frustration and nervousness on the faces of Artier, Luciana, and Norman slowly subsided, while Douglas said nothing, nodded slightly, put the artificial planet into the space storage bag, and activated the magic tower.
I saw that in the illusory night sky within half a plane, stars suddenly extinguished one after another, and the mountains, forests, lakes, grasslands, and magic towers were completely wrapped in darkness where I couldn't see my fingers.
Then, the white lines on the magic tower lit up, forming a complex and abnormal magic circle.
As soon as the magic circle was completed, the magic tower suddenly buzzed and trembled violently, and countless energies gathered in the space in front of Douglas like a raging sea, converging into a bright and deep gate with countless constellation symbols.
"You go back to Alinge and pay attention to the starry sky." Douglas ordered, and at the same time, his powerful coercion emanated, like a blazing sun, making it impossible for Lucian and the others to open their eyes, and it was difficult to extend their spiritual power.
After saying that, he used his mental power to push fiercely towards the gate of the starry sky, opened a gap, and then stepped in and disappeared into the darkness.
"This is the satellite launch ......" Lucian silently looked at the disappearing starry sky gate, which was really different from the earth! No need for expensive fuel, no need for huge rockets, no ignition devices, just a space jump with the satellite and you're done.
This made Lucian deeply realize that there are many aspects of the wizarding world that are better than the earth, and many fields have simpler means, but they just don't understand the principles very well.
Here, a great arcanist himself is a rocket, a satellite, or an intercontinental missile, and his strength and glory belong to himself!
"To explore other distant planets, space jumping requires two to three years of preparation, sometimes even decades, and this kind of near-orbit jump only needs a few days of preparation." Fernando wasted no opportunity to explain to Lucian about space jumping.
"Prophet" Bergner looked at the crystal ball in his hand: "We went back to Alinge to observe the starry sky and couldn't miss this historic moment. In about three to five minutes, Douglas will be able to reach the scheduled track."
Douglas will be able to reach the intended track...... Lucian scolded him, once again gaining a deep understanding of the inhuman nature of the Great Arcanist, and then returned to Alinge with Norman, Luciana, Artia and others who had become silent, standing on the thirty-third floor of the headquarters and looking up at the stars.
Time passed minute by minute, but the night sky did not change, and Luciana said nervously: "There will be no problems, right?"
She seemed to be asking Fernando, Bergner, Lucian, and others, and she was talking to herself.
"No! There will definitely be no problem, but other things are delayed!" Altia replied categorically, while Norman, like the two legendary magicians, was as calm as the two legendary magicians, and whispered, "The teacher's theory is not wrong......"
Lucian also looked at the sky with anticipation and concern, which was another in-depth exploration of the nature of the world.
Will it be successful?
Is it really a planet?
The stars twinkle like countless eyes, they move according to their orbit unchanged throughout the ages, as quiet as most nights in the past.
…………
Samantha observes the trajectory of the stars on her observatory to improve a fate interference magic.
During the short break, she still looked at the starry sky, looking at it with pure appreciation.
"The starry sky is the most beautiful scenery in the world, full of vastness and depth, which makes people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts......" Samantha muttered as if she were reciting a poem.
Suddenly, her beautiful eyes opened enormously, so ferocious that it seemed as if her eyeballs were about to pop out of her eye sockets, because in this starry sky, a star lit up without warning, a star that had never appeared before, it was so close, so dazzling, and the trajectory was so special!
"The birth of a star?"
Samantha's mouth couldn't close at all.
…………
The holy city of Reims.
The Pope was flipping through the classics, and suddenly, he looked out the window with some sensation and saw the unprecedented bright star, the stars that illuminated half the sky, and the stars that competed with the afterglow of the setting sun!
With a snap, the books in Pope Benedict II's hand fell to the ground, and he blurted out with a somewhat dazed expression:
"New stars?"
"Who is it?!"
…………
In the Alinge Magic Tower, when the star lit up, Artia suddenly let out a low roar, as if he wanted to vent all the suffocation and anger in his heart.
"It can really work, the teacher's theoretical system is not wrong!" Luciana cheered with tears in her eyes.
Fernando shook his head gently: "I'm afraid others won't see it?"
Lucian held his forehead and sighed weakly, is the function of the main magic circle of Your Excellency the Speaker to make the "artificial planet" bloom like the sun? It's so eye-catching and dazzling! He was worried that the church would not see it?
"But with such a magic circle, this artificial satellite can't run for a few hours, just shoot it down, and then satellite plans with different functions can be put on the agenda."
"It's really a planet ......"
…………
In Rentat, in Antifleur, in Tria, in Aalto, in countless cities, day or night, many strong people, many ordinary humans, all looked at the sky in amazement.
They have never seen the scene of "the birth of a star"!
