In front of him is a stack of thick parchment, which is as thick as a finger. They are all well maintained. Although the paper is yellowed, there is almost no damage. Formulas, data, and lines are densely listed on it.
With geometric patterns, at first glance, it is as dazzling as the mathematics lectures held in St. Branson's Auditorium - it is the highest lecture hall of London National University and the academic center of the entire western continent's mathematics community. It is famous for
Mathematicians such as Fangas, Cole Fanette and Eberron have all held lectures here to impart knowledge.
It is hard to imagine that before these outstanding mathematicians came in droves, in the distant ancient centuries, the charm of numbers and geometry had already been vividly displayed on these parchments, and was connected with the vast and mysterious universe, full of romantic beauty.
At that time, the human race did not even have the concept of civilization.
A man named Tumi created all of this. Before he was called a saint, he was first a wise man.
The Monastery of Mist Mountain has treasured these manuscripts for thousands of years. During this long period, there have always been people who have been pursuing their mysteries, wanting to imitate the feats of saints and replicate the miracles of ascending to heaven. Even Solomon was no exception. But
They all failed. As expected, there are obstacles hidden on this road that are countless times more difficult than imagined. Now, another latecomer is about to challenge this dangerous peak. His knowledge, experience and computing power may not be as good as those of his predecessors.
So excellent, but it has a unique advantage.
Ringer carefully took off the top few pieces of parchment, spread them out on the table and looked at them one by one, and compared them with the formulas he had listed in his mind. Soon, he frowned slightly and discovered the two.
of differences.
Generally speaking, they are almost the same, which shows that his idea should be correct. However, there are differences in the details. Saint Toumi introduced two very key variables in his calculation process and built a brand new one with them as the core.
System, which makes the logic of all formulas self-consistent. However, Ringer tried to substitute the coordinates of these two variables into the celestial movement chart drawn by Galileo, but found that their positions were blank in the star field, and there was no real object as a reference.
Tie.
In other words, Saint Toumi's calculation process is basically based on assumptions. Even if the formula is self-consistent, logically smooth, and the system is rigorous, it is only theoretically established. When it comes to practical application, they simply cannot learn from the stars in the sky.
It is impossible to find those two variables in the system, and it is impossible to determine the course through their correspondence with different constellations. It is very likely to be lost in the vast universe and never find the location of the Temple of Heaven!
"It's... strange." Xino also understood the meaning of these formulas and data. She held up a piece of parchment with both hands and murmured as she looked at the coordinate system drawn on it and the lines representing the direction of space.
Said to himself: "The introduction of false variables is not uncommon in mathematical calculations, but they are concentrated in the field of theoretical research. Mathematical formulas are equivalent to tools. If you want to apply theory to practice, you must first find the tools for them.
A suitable environment, but if even the tools are fake, how can people use them?"
How did Saint Tumi rely on this false tool to achieve miracles that are impossible in the eyes of ordinary people? Those who wanted to imitate him in the past may have been stumped by this puzzle. It is contrary to logic and contrary to logic.
Rational, and these two things are exactly what is needed most in mathematical calculations.
Saint Xalia looked at the frowning Ringer on the left, and on the right at Xino who was lost in thought. She didn't quite understand what this meant. After all, the shepherd girl didn't know much about mathematics, but she only studied Moriya astrology.
, she just joined this difficult work. However, she also wanted to help, instead of her companions thinking here while she could only watch silently.
So, she made a suggestion: "Since it doesn't work from a mathematical point of view, what about an astrological point of view?"
This is her area of expertise.
"Astrology? You mean astronomy, but it still doesn't work."
Ringer shook his head and rejected her idea. In order to let Saint Xalia understand more intuitively what these two false variables meant, he also put down the parchment and looked at the wall, where there was a celestial body drawn by Galileo hanging on it.
The running chart marks the relative coordinates of each constellation in the universe that humans can observe. Although it seems a bit crude from a modern perspective, more sophisticated versions are preserved in the databases of various universities and national astronomical societies.
It can't be obtained, so I can only make do with it.
"This is the constellation Uranium. Because it is located in the center of the sky and is fixed, it is often used as a reference system to confirm the orientation of other star constellations; this is the constellation Aeolus, and its moving trajectory is always from west to east, with each passing day.
It moves slowly with the change of seasons. Because the speed is always balanced, it is often used as a standard star to lock and calculate the orientation of other moving constellations. These are the two constellations most commonly used in astronomical calculations that we know of so far.
."
As Ringer explained, St. Xalia nodded. This knowledge is also mentioned in the astrology of the Moryas, but the explanation is a bit more mysterious. It is believed that the constellation Uranus is "the extreme of tranquility", while the constellation of Wind is "
The intersection of the two poles determines the order of existence of the universe, allowing the 999,999,999 stars in the universe to operate in an orderly manner without interfering with each other.
The astrology of the Morya people mostly starts with the constellation Uranus and ends with the position of the constellation Wind in the current season. The constellations included in the middle of this coordinate system symbolize people's destiny and the changes in the world.
"Saint Tumi's calculation method is also based on the constellation of Lama and the constellation of Cypress. By importing the two false variables he set into the coordinate system of Lama and the trajectory of the constellation of Cypress, several key constellations can be locked.
The orientation of the object can accurately determine the relationship between time and space to the range visible to the naked eye. After all, people in the ancient century did not have high-precision astronomical telescopes like modern astronomers, and could observe a wider range of stars. Their
All astronomical calculations must be based on these data."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Among them, the first variable is located in the southwest of the constellation Libra, and the line between it and the constellation Libra and the moon shows obvious rectangular coordinates; the second variable is located in the southwest of the constellation Libra.
The origin of each variable is the coordinates of the constellation Aeolus in the bud month season, which is located in its northeast direction. The lines connecting the three are also rectangular coordinates. They form the core of this system. However, if we follow the celestial movement drawn by Galileo
Mark these two variables on the picture, and you will find——"
Ringer took the pen and drew two triangular marks on the star map, then turned to Saint Xalia and said: "This area is completely blank and has no connection with other stars at all."
This also means that the calculation results of Saint Toumi may seem beautiful, but in fact they cannot be applied.
It can be explained mathematically, but cannot be explained in astronomy, unless there are stars in that blank area, but they are just unobservable by humans with existing scientific and technological means. But there are stars that cannot be observed by modern high-precision astronomical telescopes.
Did humans in ancient times have a way to observe it? Or did Saint Tumi use some special method?
Hinault was more inclined to the latter. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Saint Toumi introduced these two variables in his calculation process. And in the end, he did succeed, proving that this idea was correct.
She said to Ringer: "Maybe there are some details hidden in it that we don't know..."
"if--"
Saint Xalia, who had been staring at the star map on the wall, suddenly spoke and interrupted the conversation between the two: "If the two variables you mentioned are not false, then are these formulas completely true?"
Xino and Ringer looked at each other and both knew that the shepherd girl didn't know much about astronomy and mathematics, so the former explained: "In fact, they have been established, but only in a mathematical sense, and astronomy is a very complicated thing.
, not only the coordinates of stars must be considered, but also their size, properties, operation rules and other factors. A non-existent variable cannot provide us with a reference... For example, it is difficult for us to understand now.
What is the change of coordinates of two variables in a specific formula..."
"existing."
Saint Xalia interrupted her words softly, and then, under the surprised gaze of the two people, she walked to the star map, stretched out her hand and pressed on one of the marked coordinates, and a look of memory appeared in her green eyes: "
Here is the red moon, Draksir, the calamity moon."
Her finger moved down and landed on another coordinate: "And here is the pale moon, the harvest moon Utura."
"Plus the first and last -" Her finger moved again and landed on the silver full moon in the center of the star map. The astronomer Galileo used it as a symbol to draw this star map. Since then, astronomers of all generations have used it as a symbol to draw this star map.
The foundation laid has been deleted, modified, and modified, but its position has never changed, because it is constant and unchanging. It is the oldest symbol of human civilization when looking up at the stars: "Silver Moon, Elmira, the New Moon."
"
Three coordinates, white porcelain-like fingers moved slowly, connecting them together to form a striking triangle on the star map. Its vast territory contains countless constellations, which happens to include Saint Tumi.
Calculation formula for Uranus and Queens as a frame of reference: "This is the Summer Triangle and Winter Triangle passed down from generation to generation in Moliya astrology, because due to the ascending and descending activities of the Red Moon and the Blue Moon, they will be in the
Summer and winter constitute two different triangle areas."
Three moons? The Summer Triangle and the Winter Triangle? The ascending and descending movements of the Red Moon and the Blue Moon... Ringer's pupils suddenly shrank, and at this moment he thought of an ancient secret that Rorona once mentioned to him: the distant
In the ancient century, there were actually three moons in the starry sky of the Mirror Star World. Two of the moons would ascend or descend every summer and winter, bringing about changes in the concentration of magic power on a global scale. These were the so-called ascending roses and descending roses.
.
However, after the disaster of the sky change, due to unknown reasons, two of the moons disappeared, and the destruction of the magic environment by the witch association caused the changes in magic concentration to lose their meaning. Therefore, the legend about March also gradually
Forgotten by people. However, the current calendar and timekeeping methods of the Mirror Elves are based on the tidal activity of magic caused by changes in magic concentration, so some related records are still preserved in Nereids City.
In other words, St. Tumi did not introduce any variables in the calculation process, but calculated and drew conclusions based on real data. It is only with the passage of time that in modern times, even the starry sky has undergone earth-shaking changes, which makes it impossible for later generations to draw conclusions.
There are clues in his calculations.
"No wonder no one has ever been able to replicate the miracles of St. Thumi."
After understanding this, Sino couldn't help but sigh. Mathematics and astronomy are subjects that are particularly sensitive to data. Even the slightest fallacy will lead to extremely serious consequences, let alone the missing of key information about the two moons?
Saint Xalia blinked her beautiful big eyes: "Am I helping?"
"Of course!" Xino showed her a bright smile: "And it's a big help!"
"That's right." Linge also said: "As long as we can get the specific information of these two moons, such as the most important thing, their movement trajectories in the ascending and descending moons, and then apply the formulas and data of Saint Tumi, then
The rest is just some tedious calculations. Saint Shalia, thanks to you this time, the astrology of the Moryas is indeed unique."
When she heard Lin Ge thanking her, Saint Xalia couldn't help but frown, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, and smiled happily. But when she heard him sighing about the astrology of the Moryas,
, but the smile faded slightly. Xino saw her reaction in his eyes and said quickly: "I don't think it has much to do with the astrology of the Moriyas. The main thing is that Xiaoxia has learned the essence. Otherwise, this world
With so many Moryya people on earth, how come no one has connected the Winter-Summer Triangle with Saint Tumi’s journey to heaven before? So, it all depends on the person, you know, Linge, look, person!”
Xino emphasized every word, gritting her teeth. She felt that she had already given a very obvious reminder. You couldn't even notice it, right? However, Linge raised his head and gave her a strange look: "This sentence
It’s not unreasonable, but we still have to face the facts. Without the wisdom accumulated by the ninety-nine generations of Moryya witches, how could we latecomers have a glimpse of the starry sky? Therefore, no matter how good the latecomers are, as long as they step on
To advance on the steps of the forerunners, we must face up to their contributions and show respect. I think even the reincarnation of Saint Tumi cannot refute this point of view, right?"
"You, ah, this..."
This is the truth, but what I want to hear you say is not this truth.
Xino opened her mouth, looking awkward as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't. After a while, she suddenly let out a long sigh, and her whole body suddenly became more haggard. She turned to the shepherd girl
I shook my head, saying that I had tried my best, but there was nothing I could do.
Saint Xalia's smile completely disappeared.
She seemed to have dropped her hands casually, clenching and loosening them, loosening them and then clenching them tightly again, picking out wrinkles in her clothes, and kept telling herself in her heart: I am not angry, I am not angry.
