Chapter 223： Under the stars (1/2)

Although it has a bad magical talent, a bad aristocratic cultivation, and a headache for character behavior, Rebecca is still the most favored one in the family since childhood. After all, the Cecil family has completely declined in her generation, the elders at home. There are no other heirs to cultivate and care for.

Therefore, Rebecca received a lot of gifts from small to large, and it was difficult for her to count.

But few of those gifts can impress her.

Whether it is beautiful clothes, or new magic books and history books, it seems nothing new in Rebecca. She does not like flowers and new clothes like ordinary aristocratic ladies, and is not interested in history and etiquette learning. But since her ancestors began to emerge, she finally found a person who can identify with herself and always bring her freshness. A ancestor from 700 years ago, Rebecca originally thought that Gao Wenhui was The oldest and most serious elders she has ever seen, but did not expect the ancestors to be so interesting, the whimsy of the mind is not weaker than themselves.

Even the gifts he gave him were interesting.

But holding this thing called a "telescope", Rebecca is still a bit tangled (or mad at himself): "I don't like to watch the stars! I don't like to have any meaning since I was young!"

Gao Wen just smiled and took the stupid girl to the terrace on the top floor of the lord's house. In Herti's surprised gaze, he helped Rebecca fix the telescope's bracket and adjust the focal length of the lens, then press The head of the Iron Head allowed her to put her eyes on the eyepiece.

After half a minute.

"It’s fun to watch the stars!!" Rebecca made a soundless voice.

"The ancestor, this is... the gift you gave to Rebecca?" Herti was also attracted by the movement here. She couldn’t help but let go of the star-watching disk in her hand. "There is no magic." Fluctuation... What is this?"

"You can give it a try," Gao Wen said with a smile. "Well... although it doesn't have a matching star chart, it may not be as professional as the star-watch disk, but if it is only used to observe distant objects, it should It will be easier to use than your magic items."

Herti made a great effort and finally pushed Rebecca's head to the side, then took a look at the eyepiece and suddenly showed a surprised expression.

In this world, eagle eye surgery and the "gazing disk" technology developed on this basis have become the main ways people use to observe distant and observe stars, although they are confined to the caster's circle, but these two The technology still curbs the exploration of the optical research route. The basic physical rules of optics in the world are no different from what Gao Wen knows. However, whoever can cast a spell can observe the distance, who can Think of combining a few convex and concave lenses to make a telescope?

After all, the difference between the two technical routes is too far.

Rebecca looked at this magical metal device. She turned around it for a few laps. She didn't see that there was even a rune and a piece of magic material on it. She couldn't help but scratch her hair: "But why? So?"

Hetty also looked up curiously: "Yes, why?"

When they heard their problems, Gao Wen’s mouth couldn’t help but tilt up.

They finally learned to take the initiative to ask why they had studied the principle, rather than being satisfied with the ability to use it. This is the idea that he has been trying to instill in the territory of the technical staff. Now the efforts of this period have finally seen the effect on the two descendants.

"It's about talking about the spread of light," Gao Wen thought for a moment, and decided to explain it briefly. "You should know at least the magnifying glass..."

He explained the effect of the convex and concave lenses and the principle of the telescope, but he did not explain it too deeply and too surely. He just tried to explain the telescope with the attitude of answering the guess, and this is because Necessary caution

This strange world is so weird in the laws of physics. Who is sure that the telescopes used here will meet the Earth standard? Perhaps in the macroscopic world, the spread and refraction of light show what he is familiar with, but one day it is studied microscopically. What should be done when the "light" of the world is essentially another thing?

He knows how much he will influence Herti and Rebecca, even if they have the skepticism of qualified researchers, and they will leave too much impression on their minds, so he always avoids The two used to say that they were too sure about the conjecture of the magic principle. Unless the knowledge has been fully certified by practice, this is to avoid one day affecting their own research ideas.

Rebecca listened to the glimpse of the theory of magic, she also knows the theory of mathematics, mechanics and some alchemy, but she never thought that the way the world works can still be from this perspective. To explain, this brought her a great sense of freshness: "The light that is everywhere can be seen... Is there such an interesting place?"

As she spoke, she put her eyes in front of the telescope and looked at the stars in the sky with enthusiasm. She imagined that the distant stars had gone through a long journey, passing through the atmosphere full of magic, and finally falling into a group of lenses. Between, and between the lenses become a clearer, more magnified image, she saw more and brighter stars that she had never seen before, and also saw the vague celestial structures that were hidden in the stars. .

Due to the limited process of the first telescope, the magnification is not very high. She can't see too many secrets of the stars in the lens, but even then, the starry sky that is more brilliant than imagined is enough to make her exclaim. It is.

"I used to want to throw a big fireball into the sky and blow up the stars," Rebecka raised his head and blinked. "But they are so far..."

"In fact, you know, most of the stars in the sky are essentially burning fireballs," Gao Wen said with a smile, but quickly added the latter sentence. "Of course, this is just my guess."
