"A suspicious and dangerous monster has appeared nearby recently. Please be careful and don't go out casually."
Yu Jun's "astrological sign" showed a sad look on his pale face, and his face was full of worry.
Its broad, soft body floated in the air and told Nicole on the palm of its hand: "That monster looks like some kind of star. It emits an evil and confusing flash of light. It can also read minds and come and go without a trace."
"The star-shaped monster is peeping here from a distance. Although the void fish issued a stern warning, it seems to have no intention of giving up. If it is caught, it may be eaten."
Nicole was curious: "Can't even the eight-eyed leader expel them?"
"The star-shaped monster is very powerful. If we attack rashly, it will cause heavy casualties to the void fish, so the eight-eyed leader has adopted a conservative defensive posture. The two sides are still in a confrontation."
This surprised Nicole a little.
[Astrology Clock] The vast area around it is the territory of void fish. This is the territory of the fish school headed by Bamu.
Other ethnic groups, whether they are other fish schools or shadow demons, feathered men or demons who lead curse insects, or those resurrected star masters, will all be afraid of the eight-eyed leader and keep a distance.
War and conflict are already very distant memories.
The last time a battle broke out with the outside world, Nicole remembered that it should have been the sneaking approach of Yinghuo Planet, trying to cause chaos and disaster here.
This brought a lot of malfunctions and errors to the [Astrology Clock], making Nicole, the watchmaker, very busy.
But Yinghuoxing was quickly wounded by the eight-eyed leader and escaped.
Nicole couldn't imagine the star-shaped monster taking the initiative to challenge her.
What kind of monster makes the eight-eyed leader so cautious and nervous?
"Nicole."
The sound of the horoscope interrupted her thoughts.
"Has the astrological clock reported any errors or malfunctions recently?"
"There is an error, but it is not to the level of a malfunction." Nicole said truthfully: "In recent days, the error in capturing the ecliptic star track has become larger. The exact cause cannot be determined yet."
As the chief clockmaker of the Time Clock, Nicole is very good at tinkering with the [Astrology Clock].
She can see the connections in every gear, every escapement, governor, driver, timer and many other mechanisms.
This is her talent.
The connections between life and the world are usually varied and chaotic, just like the countless black smoke that emerges after lighting a fire, leaving no trace behind.
But the [Astrology Clock] is horizontal and vertical, and each line has a fixed track. They are not messy or entangled, but are connected to each other in an orderly manner, forming a neat and precise whole.
Nicole likes this sense of neatness.
Her job is to ensure that these lines of rules are not disordered. If there is deviation or entanglement, she must first determine the cause, and then adjust and repair it.
"Not all abnormalities can be determined. As long as the astrological clock is still functioning normally, there is no need to worry."
Astrology's face turned into a happy one, and its other hand slowly spread out, placing a handful of fruits of different colors next to Nicole.
"These are sweets that Da Nuo people find outside."
"OK!"
Nicole gnawed on a red fruit first, then opened her backpack and packed them.
She looked at the chronograph on her wrist: "Master Astrology, it's time for me to go back to the winding tower and do a new round of calibration."
"I'm leaving."
Nicole jumped down from the hands of this gentleman.
A hook flew out of the gauntlet on her wrist and wrapped around a gear shaft below. Relying on that force, she sank and swung half a circle, then stepped on the nearest gear.
The hooks of her hands help her jump all the way, moving lightly between gears and parallel axes, intersecting axes, staggered axes and format worms.
Finally, she followed the sprocket all the way up and came to the tall metal tower.
Nicole returned to her workbench.
The pupils of her eyes turned bright silver, and the astrological clock in front of her suddenly changed. Numerous lines spread across and penetrated its surface, like a manufacturing sketch that the Creator had not yet erased.
Looking down from the Upper String Tower.
Below is a strange land composed of gears of various sizes. They bite and drive each other. They are divided into upper and lower layers. Countless gears, shafts, levers and sliders make up this world.
Nicole confirmed the operation of each area.
The 12 divisions are all functioning well and display the real-time time in different areas. They are finally gathered at the top of the tower through mechanical connections to form an astrolabe.
It is a huge metal circular surface, which is divided into multiple layers of rings, which overlap and combine to form the current situation of the ecliptic star orbit far away from the truth side.
Nicole looked at the astrolabe, and the two largest spheres on it were still slowly rotating.
They are the main star of Gemini, "Jingsu Tianzun", and the main star of Libra, "Jingsu Tianzun".
Currently, there are only two main stars in the ecliptic star orbit, and more small spheres are orbiting around them. They are second-magnitude stars and third-magnitude stars, which are auxiliary stars, and they all orbit the main star.
The entire astrolabe is dominated by two main stars, which drive the auxiliary stars to show different movement trajectories.
"It looks fine."
Nicole observed for a while.
She pulled out the polished copper discs stacked on the support frame and inserted them into the wheel axle on the side.
Accompanied by a sizzling sound, the high-hardness metal needle began to engrave on the copper disc, recording and saving the recent zodiac star orbit.
Soon after, the axis stopped rotating and an astrological disk was completed.
Nicole took it out and looked at it carefully.
On the originally smooth circular trajectory, there is a small section of very obvious up and down oscillations and crests, which is incompatible with the surrounding smooth lines.
Nicole frowned.
Oscillations are normal because the astrological clock's capture of the ecliptic star path will be affected by the external environment, resulting in a certain degree of error.
But that crest is too high.
Judging from the time scale, it was just five days ago.
It's more like a kind of interference and error reporting.
Nicole turned her attention to the axis deep below the astrolabe. The huge sealed structure there was the astrologer.
The astrologer has the most numerous and complex rules and lines, and it is also the core of astrology.
However, based on the feedback from these lines, the problem is with the astrologer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You have to go down and check.
Nicole opened the bag on her back, grabbed the melons and fruits inside, and ate them first. Sweets made her mind clearer and more focused, which was also her favorite thing.
good.
Prepare for repairs.
Nicole put on her craftsman's coat neatly.
This layer of armor completely covered her body, adding a layer of metal supports and connecting rods to her arms, legs and waist, allowing her to use the least amount of effort to pull the heavy levers and bolts inside. The most important thing was
, it itself is composed of numerous gears, shafts and sliders, which can be disassembled and replaced at any time when necessary.
Then she checked the sling, tool box, fuel tank and calibrator.
Everything is in good condition and ready for operation.
The girl looked at the bronze mirror.
Her small body was covered in heavy and wide armor, like an inflexible bear.
Nicole pulled off the mask and completely covered her head with the honeycomb visor.
"The 139th repair of the astrological clock begins."
She walked to the edge of the tower and used the moving sprocket to descend to the astrologer below.
Nicole reached the high platform of the astrologer and stood firm.
The inspection and repair of the astrologer were carried out on the wall of the darkroom. It was a dark hole, not very large, but very deep, and Nicole had never reached the bottom of it.
Astrologers used to do this, but after Nicole woke up, it became her job. She is more keen and precise than Astrologers because she can see the lines behind every object.
Nicole carefully climbed through the hole.
It was completely invisible inside, filled with the sound of metal biting.
She opened the baffle above her head, and the lighting stone inside cast a layer of blue light around her.
You cannot use fire or other power to illuminate it here, or touch it with special force, which will cause errors in the very sensitive astrologer components, so you can only use the stupidest method.
Fortunately, Nicole's ability to see the thread will not affect this place.
She followed the fluctuations in the line all the way to the fault area and began the inspection process.
While working, a voice suddenly came to my ears.
"If you hear me, please answer me. If you hear me, please answer me."
Nicole was not surprised by this.
The astrologer wants to capture the movement of the zodiac star orbit on the side of truth, and sometimes it will capture some sounds, but most of them are distress signals, and there are also voices calling.
However, they couldn't hear the astrological signs. Nicole knew that this was the sound transmitted by those wires.
She also heard another voice.
"Come back, children, this is where you originated."
However, these sounds are all transmitted through vibrators. It is not certain whether they are from the same person.
Today is very strange. Two people are actually having a conversation.
"I have found your location, and I still need time to negotiate with the local indigenous people..."
"No problem, please be careful and safe, I'm waiting for the Yao tribe's rescue."
It seems that someone heard the cry for help in the star track and is trying to rescue the trapped person.
Yao people? This is the first time I heard this name.
Nicole listened with rapt attention.
"There are schools of void fish there, and we are communicating with them. Why does Orion lock you in the astrological clock?"
"Because there is a special structure here, which is an astrological device created by the spiritual world. It can lock me in it and continuously extract my energy and signals as a trigger to run the entire astrological clock. In the past, this place was used to lock other
Star God or Star Shadow, now Orion has exiled me here through its first-magnitude star, just to completely trap me with an astrological clock."
"Well. Don't worry, we have locked the location and we will find you soon."
Nicole was shocked.
Astrological clock... Void fish... Is this talking about our place?
The core of the astrologer is actually this person calling for help?
She couldn't believe it.
"Thank you for your hard work, but I discovered something strange. There is a special life here. It is receiving the signal between us at this time. It has some kind of power and can enter our current signal frequency band."
"Is there such a living thing? Then I have to get to know it. I can actually hear the frequency band of electric vibration stars. It's interesting."
"She's still listening...you can hear it, right, Nicole?"
This sentence made Nicole's hair stand on end. She hurriedly climbed up with the hook and ran away.
She sat on the long pole of the winding tower and did not recover for a long time.
A Da Nuo flew down from the sky.
"Ms. Nicole, Mr. Astrologer would like to ask you to come."
Nicole came to her senses: "Where to go?"
"A guest from outside is visiting... He specifically wanted to see you and brought you a gift."
Da Nuo said: "They are the star-shaped monsters that I had dealt with before with the Eight-Eyed Leader. They belong to a civilization called the Yao tribe. Now we have reached an agreement and are discussing cooperation."
"But it's strange that the messenger knows your name."
