Although he has poor magical talent, poor aristocratic cultivation, and headache-inducing personality behavior, Rebecca is still the most favored one in the family since he was a child. After all, the Cecil family has completely declined to her generation, and the elders in the family can no longer find any other heirs to cultivate and care for.

So Rebecca has received a lot of gifts since she was a child, so many that it is difficult for her to count.

But those gifts rarely impress her.

Whether it is beautiful clothes, new magic books and history books, Rebecca doesn't seem to have any new ideas. She doesn't like flowers and new clothes like ordinary noble ladies, and is not interested in learning history and etiquette. However, since her ancestors lifted the coffin, she finally discovered a person who can recognize herself and always bring freshness to herself. An ancestor from seven hundred years ago. Rebecca originally thought that Gao Wen would be the most stern and serious elder in the family she had ever seen, but she didn't expect that this ancestor was so interesting, and her mind was not inferior to herself at all.

Even the gift he gave himself was very interesting.

However, holding this thing called "teleoscope", Rebecca was still a little confused (or was angry with herself): "I don't like watching the stars! What's the point of not liking them since I was a child!"

Gao Wen just smiled and forced the silly girl to the terrace on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion. In Hedy's surprised gaze, he helped Rebecca fix the telescope support and adjust the focal length of the lens, and then pressed the iron-headed baby's head to let her put her eyes on the eyepiece.

Half a minute later.

"It's so interesting to see the stars!!" Rebecca made a spineless voice.

"Ancestor, this is... the gift you said to give Rebecca?" Hetty was also attracted by the movement here, and couldn't help but put down the star-gazing plate in his hand and came over, "There was no magic fluctuation... What is this?"

"You can try it," Gao Wen smiled, "Well... Although it does not have a supporting star chart disc, it may not be as professional as a star chart when you use it, but if you only use it to observe objects in distant places, it should be easier to use than your magic props."

Hetty tried a lot and finally squeezed Rebecca's head to the side, then leaned in front of the eyepiece and looked at it, showing a surprised expression.

In this world, Hawkeye and the "star-gazing disk" technology developed on this basis have become the main ways for people to observe distant places and observe stars. Although they are limited to the circle of spellcasters, these two technologies still curb people's exploration of optical research routes. The basic physical rules of the world in terms of optics are no different from what Gao Wen knows. However, under the premise that one spell can observe the distance, who would have thought of combining several convex lenses and concave lenses to create a telescope?

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

Rebecca stared at the magical metal device in a daze. She circled around it for several times, but she didn't see even a rune and a piece of magic material on it. She couldn't help scratching her hair in confusion: "But why is this happening?"

Hetty also raised his head curiously: "Yes, why?"

Hearing their questions, Gao Wen couldn't help but curl upwards.

They finally learned to ask why and delve into the principles, rather than being satisfied with being able to use them. This is the idea that he has been working hard to instill in the territorial technicians. Now the efforts during this period have finally seen the effect on the two descendants.

"This is about talking about the spread of light," Gao Wen thought for a while and decided to give a brief explanation first, "You should at least know the magnifying glass..."

He explained the effects of convex and concave lenses and the principles of the telescope, but he did not explain all this too deeply or too sure. He just tried to describe how the telescope took effect with the attitude of answering the guesswork, which was due to the necessary caution

This strange world is so weird in physical laws. Who dares to be sure that the telescope is effective? Then the optical principles here must meet the earth's standards? Perhaps in the macro world, the propagation and refraction of light show what he is familiar with, but one day he studied it to the microscope and found that the "light" in this world is essentially something else?

He knew how much influence he would have on Hetty and Rebecca. Even if they now have the skepticism of qualified scientific researchers, what he said would leave a deep impression on them. Therefore, he always avoided talking too positively when telling his guesses about the principles of magic in front of them unless this knowledge has been fully certified in practice, in order to avoid one day affecting their research ideas.

Rebecca was stunned when she heard this. She knew the theory of magic, and also the theoretical knowledge of mathematics, machinery and some alchemy. But she never thought that the way the world works could be explained from this perspective, which brought her great freshness: "It turns out that the light that can be seen everywhere...is there actually such an interesting place?"

While speaking, she put her eyes in front of the telescope and looked at the stars in the sky with great enthusiasm. She imagined the distant starlights going through a long journey, passing through the magic-filled atmosphere, and finally falling into a group of lenses, and becoming a clearer and more enlarged image between the lenses. She saw more and brighter stars that she had never seen before when she was a child, and also saw the vague celestial structures that were originally hidden among the stars.

Due to the limited technology of the first telescope and the magnification rate were not very high, she could not see too many secrets in the camera, but even so, the starry sky that was even more brilliant than she imagined was enough to make her scream.

"I used to want to throw big fireballs into the sky and blow those stars down," Rebecca raised his head and blinked, "but they are so far away..."

"Actually, do you know that most of the stars in the sky are essentially big burning fireballs," Gao Wen said with a smile, but quickly added the second half, "Of course, this is just my guess."

"Stars are also burning fireballs?" Rebecca looked at Gao Wen in surprise. "What do they use as fuel? How can they burn for so many years?"

There is hydrogen in my hometown, but God knows what the stars burn here...

However, Gao Wen couldn't answer this directly, so he could only smile awkwardly: "I don't know either."

"Ancestor, aren't you lying to me?" Rebecca looked at Gao Wen suspiciously, "How could the stars in the sky be a big fireball!"

"You can't speak to your ancestors like this!" Heti immediately glanced at Rebecca seriously, but Gao Wen was just moved by half, and she said the second half, "The ancestor was hanging in the sky at the beginning. He must have seen the stars burn with his own eyes, right?

Gao Wen: "…Uh…Yes, Yes…”

"Well, it's so awesome!" Rebecca sighed exaggeratedly, then touched her chin and fell into thought, "Then you said, if I hold the fireball so much and hit it very far away, can it also turn into a star?"

"...that's probably impossible," Gao Wen spread his hands laughed and cried, "The real size of the stars is much larger than you think. Of course, this is also what I guess."

Hedy showed a thoughtful expression: "Ancestor, then do you say 'O' is also a burning fireball?"

"Oh...probably so."

Gao Wen put his hands on his chest and looked up at the brightest star in the night sky.

Of course he knew what it was, or he could probably guess what it was.

That is the "sun" that this planetary system is really orbiting.

The planet under my feet (currently assumed to be a planet) is not a standard planet, but it is very likely to be just a satellite orbiting a gas giant planet. The gas giant planet is what people usually call the "sun", but this gas giant planet is also orbiting another celestial body. According to the information currently available, the latter's main body is very likely to be "Oh", which is the brightest star in the night sky, a mysterious lonely star that can be seen occasionally during the day, and an "ultimate mysterious star" with a special status in the minds of magicians and special astrologists.

The extraordinary people have a variety of explanations of "Oh", but no matter who it is, they seem to agree that it has a special role in the field of occultism: it is the benchmark for almost all astrological observations, and it is also the "spiritual focus" most commonly used by magicians when meditating. In some religious legends, "Oh" is also related to the residence of the gods: it is a guide beacon to the residence of the gods.

Rebecca looked at the sky and suddenly realized something: "To put it... today's 'O' seems to be brighter than before."

"After winter begins, the brightness of Ao will increase. Don't you know? This is common sense in astrology!" Hetty glanced at Rebecca helplessly, "I really don't know where you have thrown away the things you learned when you were a child."

Rebecca stammered her neck: "I know this, but the brightness of the 'O' seems to be brighter than in previous years on the day of stars this winter!"

"Is that..." Hetty looked at the sky suspiciously. She could not judge such subtle changes with her naked eyes. But she knew that Rebecca did have amazing sensitivity in these inexplicable details, so she became half-believing, "Maybe there is a change... Speaking of which, I remember seeing in some relatively unpopular magic books that when the stars are in the right position, the connection between the ultimate mysterious star 'Ao' and the human world will become strong, and the gates to the Gods and the human world will become loose, and the year when the stars are in the prophecy are in the correct position seems to be in recent years."

Listening to the mysterious words that Hedy suddenly said, Gao Wen inexplicably felt a little visually.

The stars are in the right position... Why does this statement sound so unlucky?

Just as he was wondering whether this "stars are in the right position" was a wilderness monster or a magical phenomenon, the terrace door was suddenly pushed open, and the panic-like cry of the Siren lady came: "Oh, it's over, it's over, it's over!"

"What's the end?!" Gao Wenke never saw Tyre so panicked. This seafood, which is often hibernating, is lazy no matter what it does. This shocked him, "Someone wants to stew you?"

"The position of the stars! The position of the stars!" Tyr jumped hard to Gao Wen with his fish tail, dancing and wiggling, "Today is the time for the stars to return to their positions! Once the stars reach the correct position, the big squid in the deep sea... the big squid..."

Gao Wen was thinking about the little things about the stars and the evil gods of the deep sea just now. At this time, when he heard the deep sea creature Tyre mentioning the thing suspected to be the ancient god in such panic, he suddenly felt cold sweat: "Tell me clearly! What will happen to the 'big squid' in the deep sea when the stars are in the right position?"

"The big squid will be unlimited!" Tyre was so anxious that she almost burst into tears, "I missed the meal!"
