"I hope that this matter can all be organized by the association. And the manager of the fund will also be recommended by the president."
"Oh, you won't do it yourself?"
Lin smiled awkwardly and said: "Just by distributing Forum Magic Stones to each village, using my own name, I will probably be disturbed by those nobles. If the association came forward, there should not be such a problem . Besides, I am more interested in staying in the tower to do research. I am unable to manage such a large amount of affairs. So I can only ask the president."
In the southwestern peninsula of the mainland, the individual strength of the four major regional chapters is indeed greater than that of any other country. As the master of a tower, it is taboo to extend his power beyond the fixed territory of X ten kilometers (10 kilometers). But if the branch comes forward, no country will dare to say anything. Therefore, Chengguo Eaton agreed with Lin’s reasons. After thinking about the pros and cons for a while, he said:
"In this case, I recommend my student Shur Ion to be the manager of this fund. He is the magician who sent back your two apprentices and goods with the convoy last time. How about this?"
"Magic Ion is a very safe candidate, I have no objections." Lin complained in his heart that he had already recommended his own students, so how could anyone have any objections.
Thinking back to the young man I saw before, the old man would keep him by his side, but he would be sent on some errands. I guess he had trust, but his ability was slightly lacking. Fortunately, this matter of the fund is relatively simple, and there are no worries about casualties. It does not require any special ability, just be safe.
As for the money being used in other people's hands, will it be manipulated by someone else? Lin did not intend to delve into this issue. It was originally used as protection money.
You must know that the economic scale of the lost world is still based on barter. In particular, the southwest peninsula broke away from the barbarism and the rise of civilization only happened in the past two or three hundred years, which is no better than those areas that have inherited civilization for a long time. When the economy is smaller, there is certainly less demand for money circulation.
And Lin Dongran earns tens of thousands of gold coins, what does this mean? The money taxes paid by many nobles in the southwest peninsula may not amount to this amount even if they are added up over several years. Even some kingdoms' annual taxes are much lower. The words "wealthy and incomparable" were placed on the tower owner of the Great Sage's Tower. That was a well-deserved title, but at the same time, he was also remembered.
Even if the Xijia District Branch of the Magician Association, the leader of the four giants in the Southwest Peninsula, has to pay Lin's full remuneration in one go, it may affect the branch's capital turnover. Therefore, whether it is the president or the manager of the affiliated chamber of commerce, they are constantly promoting things to the tower owner of the Tower of the Great Sage. As a result, Lin bought a lot of flashy items.
There is no way, who knows that my research topic cannot be solved by spending money to buy a lot of materials. Mages in the Mysterious World conduct research using exhaustive methods, without scientific methods such as statistics or induction, so they are very short of funds to purchase enough experimental materials.
But Lin just stared at the stars and calculated. Strictly speaking, his research can continue as long as he has a bite to eat. The progress of the computerization of the Magic Tower has not yet reached its limit. When nature is not like the earth, you have to think of ways to get your boss to upgrade computer hardware to increase computing efficiency.
With the previous income, Lin Du entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to start collecting materials to build the third and fourth meditation rooms. This time there is another big profit. If you don't spend it quickly, many people may not feel at ease, including Lin himself. I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm just afraid of the jealousy of those high-level officials.
These reasons are also the reasons why Lin no longer makes any other achievements in the application. The money you earn from a browser plus a forum has already put you in a critical situation. If you want to study the mail system, instant messaging, message board, or even play with it in Windows, that's not crazy.
If there was no charge to write these applications for people to use, Lin would have no motivation to complete these complex tasks. Of all the applications, which one is simpler than the forum? As for those who work for free, I am not a saint who traveled through time to benefit the lost world, so I cannot commit such self-inflicted abuse. What's more, which of those applications was not completed by a team, but by one person? The liver is too healthy?
Anyway, the natives of Midi don't know what else is in their minds, so naturally no one will knock on the bowl and kneel down to beg, just pretend they don't know.
Regarding the details of the fund matter, Lin discussed with Chengguo Eaton for a while. But on a whim, he said with emotion: "Originally, I wanted to ask for the title of Great Magician for Mr. Charlie Richard. In this case, the name of the fund can be 'Richard Richard's Great Magician Fund', which sounds very important." It will be more sufficient. However, although the title of Great Magician is awarded to those with high strength and great merit, only the powerful have won this honor for a long time. What level of merit must be achieved in order to obtain the title of Great Magician? There is no conclusion and I don’t know where to start.”
Lin Zhixin sighed, but it had a different meaning to the ears of the old man Chengguo Eaton. Just like the proverb in China on Earth: When a man dies, he leaves his name; when a tiger dies, he leaves his skin. When people reach a certain age, they will think about what they want to leave to future generations, not only to leave a legacy, but also to leave a name.
Little brother Richard has a good student. Chengguo Eaton sighed in his heart. As long as Richard the Great Magician Fund is successfully established and still in operation, someone will inevitably ask the question "Who is Richard?" In this way, people will always remember him. As for 'Cheng Guo Eaton', he will only be replaced by 'a certain president' in a few years.
"Little brother Tripwood, you don't mind if I call you this. Although only those in the church can do this, it is unprecedented for magicians; but the establishment of the fund is also unprecedented. Yes. So I will try my best to facilitate this matter, and you just wait for the good news."
Unexpectedly, due to his unintentional emotion, his status was raised to the level of 'little brother' in one fell swoop. Lin was flattered. He quickly stood up, saluted, and said, "I've already caused all the trouble."
The old man nodded, said no more, and cut off the communication.
After finally ending his worries this time, Lin was not in the mood to regain his research mood after being interrupted several times. Plus, he had been feeling a little confused recently. Although the goal is clear, which is to find the way home from the stars, there are so many things to do, and it feels like I don't know how to proceed.
Feeling that he was in a bottleneck period, Lin simply put aside all research and random thoughts, and prepared to concentrate on an upcoming astronomical event-the Six Stars in a row. That is the day when the six planets in the star system where Midi is located are aligned in a straight line.
It is said that they are connected in a line. In fact, it is not a straight line connecting the six planets, but an angle. Taking the Midi star and the Sun star (the Sun of the Midi world) as a line, the other planets will form an angle with the baseline after they are also connected to the Sun star. This is because the orbit of each planet is not On the same plane, but slightly tilted.
The so-called planetary conjunction means that all the planets move to the same side of the sun and converge in a sector-shaped area with a small angle.
Ignoring the angle factor and assuming that all planetary orbits are in the same plane, according to Lin's calculations, the six-star cycle will occur approximately once every eight and a half years. However, considering the angle value, it must be limited to a small angle, which means that when observed with the naked eye, there will be overlap, not just staggering. According to calculations, the time will be stretched to one hundred and twenty-two years. about.
If Lin's observations and calculations are correct, this year's six-star astronomical event will also have a lunar eclipse. In other words, among the two moons, Nanna, which rises in the east and sets in the west like the sun, will join the six-star continuum and become a rather strange six-plus-two-star liaison—six planets. Add two satellites.
Another satellite participating in the connection is the Gudalana month, which has a constant position in the sky, referred to as the Guyue. According to Lin's understanding, the revolution speed of the ancient moon is synchronized with the rotation of the lost land. Such rapid movement causes the phenomenon observed on the surface of the earth, that is, the ancient moon always hangs in the same position in the sky without any change.
The southern moon's revolution speed is similar to that of the earth's moon, and it falls in about twenty-eight days, while the ancient moon is synchronized with the lost earth. The positions of these two moons, plus the positions of five other planets, are what astrologers rely on to predict climate.
However, the use of the words "climate prediction" here does not accurately describe the results of astrologers. The climate is of course one of the key concerns of everyone, but the predicted results also include increased production of certain species, easier pregnancy, locust disasters, flooding of rivers, everyone's temper, and prone to war. All these are very unscientific. prophecy.
When he first came to the world of Lost World, Lin scoffed at the astrologers' predictions. But during a certain twin week, he witnessed an egg hatching two chicks; during a certain sunny week with frequent thunderstorms, he listened to the occasional drought thunder for a week, and Lin was convinced that he was in a completely indifferent place A magical world of reason.
Now this astronomical event is regarded by Lin as an opportunity to verify whether his astronomical calculations are correct. What needs to be verified is, of course, a magic tower that is computerized to a certain extent. Including whether the design of the program is correct and whether the functions used for calculation are error-free. If even the predictions inside the star system are calculated incorrectly, then there is no need to consider the entire galaxy or even the universe. As for calculating by hand, that was not considered from the beginning.
Another reason that made him want to verify like this was the planetary wall in the restaurant on the first floor of the Tower of the Great Sage. It is said that it has been there since the beginning of the construction of the tower, and all planetary position changes are also based on reality, although it is only a two-dimensional version. According to the magic tower log, every time there are six stars in a row, this wall will undergo special changes for a period of time.
In addition to wanting to see the changes in this wall, Lin also wanted to know whether the accuracy of this thousand-year-old star map wall was still perfect and fully consistent with the reality. If so, the principles behind this technology are worth studying, and you may be able to add it to your own tools for star exploration.
Unfortunately, during one of Lin's calculations, he discovered that his calculation results were slightly different from those on the star map wall. So which one is right, which one is wrong, and what are the reasons behind it? We will have to wait for the continuous astronomical event to come before we will know the answer.
