Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 1443 - 1441: Star Spirit Mirror
Watching Emerson leave, Tycho shook his head slightly, holding the Flash Crystal Ball used for recording the Star Map in one hand, and the Grey Crystal Ball given by Emerson in the other, squinting as he said, "Donโt worry, arrogant Mr. Emerson, I definitely wonโt waste the time youโve spent." ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐ฌ๐๐ข
"Actually, what Iโm about to do is much more important than you think. The reason you canโt see it is because youโre only accustomed to focusing on things around you, leading you to miss the higher existenceโyour self-righteousness has made you blind and deaf."
After speaking, Tycho pursed his lips and his face became serious, grabbing the Crystal Balls in each hand and forcibly bringing them together.
"Bang! Wow!"
The two Crystal Balls collided heavily, but the spheres remained intact, with the contents inside flying out.
Inside the Flash Crystal Ball were naturally dense spots of light, while inside the Grey Crystal Ball were clusters of dark mist, the two merging and intertwining, resembling a nebula in the starry sky, quite beautiful.
Tycho squinted his eyes and watched for a while, then fused the two Crystal Balls into a palm-sized rhombus-shaped crystal under high temperature, absorbing the "nebula."
Holding the rhombus-shaped crystal, Tychoโs lips trembled slightly, somewhat excited. He clearly understood that contained within was the composite of the "Star Map" and the "High Spirit Map," signifying something entirely new.
"โStar Spirit Mirror,โ" Tycho murmured. This was one of the things Richard described to him over two years ago, which attracted him to stay in Shalin, and after so long, it was unexpectedly successful.
If the "Star Spirit Mirror" could succeed, then many of those seemingly incredible things Richard had described to him might also succeed, it would just take time.
If this were true, then the 361 Institute where he was located would have great prospects... it might even be the future location of the worldโs highest-end technology... as for Emersonโs 362 Institute, it would eventually be swept into the garbage heap of history... indeed, the starry sky is the true direction for a wizardโs exploration...
Thinking about these things, Tycho lightly sighed, exclaiming: "Star Spirit Mirror, Star Spirit Mirror!"
"Master Tycho, what is the Star Spirit Mirror?" The wizard apprentice standing at the door waiting for orders asked curiously after hearing the words.
Tycho turned his head to glance at the apprentice. Normally, he wouldnโt bother, but in a good mood today, he thought for a moment and said: "The โStar Spirit Mirror,โ in a way, is just a mirror. The difference is that through an ordinary mirror we can see our faces, but through the โStar Spirit Mirror,โ we can see our position."
"Our position?" The apprentice was puzzled, "Do we need a mirror to determine our position? Simply look around, wouldnโt you understand..."
"Under normal circumstances, of course, you can. But imagine you are at an extremely high altitude, or even in the void, surrounded by darkness, with only extremely distant twinkling stars, how would you determine where you are? How would you find the way back to the original world?" Tycho asked.
"Huh? This..." The apprentice was dumbfounded, this truly exceeded his scope of knowledge.
"You donโt know, do you." Tycho gently smiled, "In such situations, the โStar Spirit Mirrorโ is needed.
Remember, star positions, under certain conditions, can be viewed as fixed and unchanging, and from different positions, observing the stars will show slight differences. Once you can memorize all these conditions, creating a โStar Map,โ then no matter where you are, as long as you can identify which situation youโre in, you can use the โStar Mapโ to determine your position, and similarly determine any position you wish to go to, ensuring you do not get lost."
The apprentice thought for a moment, boldly said: "But this method can only be used at night, itโs somewhat limited, Master Tycho?"
"Thatโs because your understanding is insufficient." Tycho raised his voice, "Stars are always present in the void, whether day or night, and during the day we are unable to see them because theyโre simply overshadowed by stronger sunlight. For ordinary people, of course, thereโs no way, but we wizards can totally use extraordinary means to block out the sunโs light, allowing us to use star positioning day and night without being affected.
Of course, simply relying on the โStar Mapโ will always have errors, especially at lower altitudes due to weather influences. So, other positioning methods are needed as supplements, like โEarth Gravity,โ โTerminal Spell Guidance,โ โMagic Vision Adjustment,โ among others. But these also have some drawbacks, the best is still the so-called โHigh Spirit Map.โ
What โHigh Spirit Mapโ is, you donโt need to understand, just know that the so-called โHigh Spiritโ is also something akin to stars. Ancient high spirits already assimilated into nodes, their positions have hardly changed over hundreds, even thousands of years, using them to correct โStar Mapโ deviations can enable extremely precise positioning, turning it into the โStar Spirit Mirrorโ I hold in my hand.
The creation of the โStar Spirit Mirrorโ is the first step, using the โStar Spirit Mirrorโ for positioning is the second step, and using this positioning to accomplish something is the third step. You donโt need to know what the specific third step is, but you must understand itโs extremely, extremely important, far beyond your life a thousand times over.
After all, using the โStar Spirit Mirror,โ you can know your position at any time, with errors of no more than a few dozen meters, possibly even less, and also know your target position at any time, with errors likewise no more than a few dozen meters or even less. Then moving forward, using this can achieve astonishing things, entirely dependent on imagination."
"Now, do you understand?" Tycho asked the apprentice directly.
The apprentice had a blank expression, gently nodded to affirm, but as soon as Tycho turned around, the apprentice couldnโt resist hurriedly scratching his head.
Understand? Understand my foot!
"Alright, the โStar Spirit Mirrorโ is now complete." Tycho turned back, saying to the apprentice, "After some detailed adjustments, it can be used practically. Next, it has to be handed over to other professionals for testing. Go get me the Communication Crystal Ball, I need to contact the Ninth Institute."
"The Ninth Institute?" The apprentice was puzzled, he had never heard of that name. Yet Shalin has a plethora of numbered Institutes, it was normal if he hadnโt heard of it. He vaguely felt that the so-called โNinth Instituteโ might not be ordinary, given its exceptionally low number, suggesting its establishment might have been long before the 361 Institute.
Nodding, the apprentice left the room, returning moments later with an apple-sized white crystal ball, handing it to Tycho.
Tycho gripped the crystal ball and began operating, pouring in mana flow.
