Chapter 363 The Star Atlas and the Believer
Many people know the solar system we live is composed of eight planets. As for other details, they would say there are also the moon and the earth.
In fact, for the broadly defined “solar system”, besides the Sun at the central and the eight major planets (Venus, Jupiter, mercury, Mars, Saturn, earth, Ura.n.u.s, Neptune), comets, and interstellar dust, there are also the asteroid belts filled with small rocks which is called the second small celestial bodies of the Kuiper belt. Beyond the Kuiper Belt, there is discrete disk ecliptic, heliosphere and Oort cloud in hypothesis.
Lin Luoran learned astronomical knowledge when she was a student at a younger age. The image of the solar system in her mind is eight planets...o...b..ting around the sun. When her spiritual mind enters the star atlas behind the first jade stair, for the first time, she realizes the beautiful starry sky is not just a picture on books or computer effects in science fictions and movies.
It’s more real and breathtaking than all the material she has read before.
Every rotation of astral bodies is full of spirituality. Flames of the sun are changing constantly. Icy asteroid belts filled with small rocks, comets with long tails, and even interstellar dust all have an inexplicit meaning in this harmonious image.
Lin Luoran can pull a planet closer to her with her spiritual power. At a proper distance, she can clearly see the mountains, waters, craters, plains, rift valleys, and basins of different sizes on the earth. This is where Lin Luoran was born, and it is her first time to see it as a whole.
As for Mercury which is the closest to the sun, it is full of potholes on its surface. Lin Luoran guesses it is because of numerous meteorite impacts. She also knows it for the first time that there is no liquid water on Mercury.
The temperature reaches 400℃ on the solar hemisphere of Mercury. It can melt lead and tin let alone water. Mercury is also pretty small, smaller than the No.3 and No.6 satellites of Jupiter.
Lin Luoran suddenly thinks about the legend of Huaxia, “The G.o.ddess Chang’s Fly to the Moon” so she takes a closer look at the moon. The moon is covered with gravels and craters of all sizes. She doesn’t even find a rabbit’s hair. (Rabbit keeps the G.o.ddess accompany in the story “The G.o.ddess Chang’s Fly to the Moon”.)Read more chapters at Listnovel.com
Why do stars go in such an orbit? Is it because of gravity, quality and distance what scientific and technological civilization is talking about, or maybe stars themselves have power?
For example, she has felt power of the sun when she shot out the “Arrow of Light”.
Another example is the special celestial event over the delta when Bermuda fairyland was found.
She even saw it with her own eyes. In the Tower of Babel, the Babylon high priest borrowed the power of stars to control the fake saintess and the ancestor of the monsters of wood. Aren’t these two powerful men as little as dust in the face of stars?
Besides, “Diliu Syrup” poured down with moonlight every sixty years can develop the intelligence of plants and animals. Does it absorb some power of the moon so it can have such kind of effect?
These are some magic circles right in front of Lin Luoran. If these celestial bodies are linked by lines, and are nodes of magic circles, then aren’t orbits the connection lines of nodes?
Some of the celestial bodies in the solar system have become large planets while some have become satellites around planets. Earth and Mars both belong to eight major planets of the solar system. Why do intelligent species live on Earth but not Mars? The latter is a desert planet covered with sands and gravels all over. There is no stable liquid water but frequent sand storms here every year. Mars has seasonal melting ice and dry ice in its poles, and Geoscientists think it is the most human-friendly planet in the solar system except Earth. Then why are there no human beings on Mars?
Except for the influence of objective conditions, does it have something to do with its position in the solar system and the orbit?
Earth and Mars are in different places so they will never become the same planet even if their conditions are similar. The same goes to the magic circle. The only difference between defensive magic circle and aggressive magic circle of the same system is nodes.
It will have completely different effects if the position is changed. Is it because the node position is changed so the corresponding star can’t be found? Or maybe after changing the position of the node, it corresponds to other stars so the effect is changed?
Lin Luoran leaves the star atlas. After a long time of contemplation, she uses emeralds as chess pieces to deduct it on the ground.
The Dragon Palace is a quiet place without anyone bothering her. She is not alone because there are fishes and shrimps in the pool keeping her company. Lin Luoran feels she knows very little about the magic circle at this moment although she has planted magic circles several times.
She is back to the difficult time when she had lots of magic stuff but without the guidance of a famous teacher.
Deduction, countless simulations, and putting the prototype of the magic circle on the ground… She depicts a few magic circles she knows in her mind. They are only from the Bright Sword and the protective jade plate. It looks pathetic but Lin Luoran is really enjoying it.
Lin Luoran has always known that she is like a weed that is tough to kill. Her talent is not outstanding. She always has to work very hard with her resilience if she wants to stand out whether when she was a student or develop her personal ability now.
People should never be worried about their goals are too hard to realize, but they cannot find the goals to work hard for.
This is still the universal rule when it comes to developing personal ability, going to Penglai, and learning magic circles. Lin Luoran does not feel bored at all. She has gained too much compared to ordinary cultivators, and she has to pay sweat and energy now owing to the balance law of nature.
