Correct use of scientific spells

In folklore, there are rich and complex dragon legends, including dragons living in the mountains and dragon palaces under the deep sea.The story of Urashima Taro is one of them. Unfortunately, it is the fishing moratorium now, and it is not easy to even rent a fishing boat to explore the sea.

Yuan Shankou walked a lot around the town and found one or two harmless low-level spell spirits, but there was still no news about the dragon.

Mr. Iwata, the assistant supervisor, is very happy—"It seems that Yamami-kun has finally found a way to judge the level of a spell", and he is really happy that he has a more reliable colleague.

There is no conjurer stationed in this small town, and to summon someone to exorcise the curse spirit, one needs to go to a nearby city to call for someone, and it takes some time to go back and forth.

Toyama Minato himself was only responsible for discovering and reporting, and was not responsible for protecting the scene, but his sense of responsibility could not allow him to leave the curse spirit alone. After making several phone calls to confirm repeatedly, he came to the conclusion that it was okay, in our After we have done our best, if a non-magician dies due to a curse spirit, it will not be considered our responsibility.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, we're terribly sorry for this - but what can we do?Everyone has done their best.There are so many curse spirits, these are all caused by non-magic masters, what does it have to do with you and me?

It can be seen from the familiar and common news method of throwing pot away.

Yuan Shanmin couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He had a good impression of the profession of conjurer at first, but now it seems that it might just be a preconceived filter brought by Xia Youjie.Although he intends to help, he is not a real magician after all, so he can only use some hacking methods to inform the administrators of the neighboring city (he doubts very much that the town-level administrative agencies do not know about the existence of magic spells) ), got the cooperation of the other party who was very nervous and even a little shocked.

The next step is a relatively common "combined boxing" process: regional traffic control, power outage in some areas (even without notifying the power company, he himself manipulated the drone to pull the switch), waiting for the auxiliary supervisor to drive and guard Local conjurers come to work.

The efficiency of operations in remote areas is obviously not as good as that of Tokyo and Kyoto, and the conjurers came very slowly. By the time the local auxiliary supervisors hurriedly cleared the accounts, it was almost dusk.The arched tent came down from the sky, Yuanshan Minato reached out and touched his face lightly while everyone was not paying attention. Although the touch didn't feel like touching a wall, he could still feel a gentle but firm force pushing himself Push away.

——This is the power that rejects all non-magicians and belongs exclusively to conjurers.

The conjurer stepped into the "tent" expressionlessly, and in his eyes, it seemed to dissolve into the air invisible like a cloud of mist.

The setting sun dragged his figure out of the long shadow, Yuanshan Minato stood on the sidelines from a further distance and watched the assistant supervisor busy. Even if it is "the moment when ordinary people have the highest probability of seeing anomalies" in a day, that area is said to be " The space covered by the "tent" is still as usual, and he can't even feel the visual deviation of optical refraction.

It's one thing to know that you don't have talent, it's another thing to experience the gap over and over again, Toyama Minato puts most of his luggage in the hotel and plans to find a local restaurant to adjust himself The "nothing goes at the end of the day" mood.

The restaurants in coastal towns are unpretentious, but the ingredients are fresh, and compared to Tokyo, the big bowl is cheaper, which is very suitable for the appetite of college students.Yuan Shankou spread out his laptop computer in the store and watched while eating. The netizen who once claimed that he saw a dragon once again passionately posted a post with others, pointing out that he was absolutely telling the truth, and his home was the local He was originally a fisherman, and the nearby townspeople planned to make paper figurines to sacrifice to the Dragon God at sea after the fishing moratorium was over.

Yuan Shanmin:? ?

Never expected the situation to develop so quickly.

A lot of useful information can also be analyzed from the other party's speech. First of all, this person should come from a nearby fisherman's family, and the location of the dragon should be at sea.Secondly, the local fishermen should have animistic beliefs. People who go to sea are relatively superstitious. If things are allowed to develop, the beliefs of the local people are likely to gradually focus on this unknown "dragon".

Based on his understanding of the theory of spells so far, it is definitely not a good thing to collect beliefs of unknown origin.

After dinner, Toyama Minato cautiously contacted the person concerned, saying that he was a student studying folklore at the university, and was very curious about his speech, and wanted to ask the other party where the sea area where the dragon was seen was.It was rare for someone to believe in him, and the netizen responded enthusiastically to the private message, but unfortunately the scope of the demarcation was quite large, and it was obviously not a position that an ordinary person like him could easily reach.

——The fishermen’s fishing area is a rectangular area marked with latitude and longitude. At a glance, there are seas in all directions. It is difficult to say how big a sea area is.In addition, the other party's description was also a little unclear, and he only said that he had glimpsed a half-claw of the giant dragon in the clouds, but he didn't even see the whole picture after a long time of trouble.

"...Isn't it my own illusion?"

Toyama Minato felt a little disappointed, but also a little skeptical.

"How is that possible! This is definitely not my hallucination!"

The attitude of the other party was very intense: "The sense of crisis that even stands on end, what possibility is there other than the dragon god? Even sharks everywhere can't bring me this feeling."

Toyama Minato: "..."

Well, if that's the case, then it's very likely that it's the curse spirit—this is probably a guy with strong intuition, who cast a glimpse of the world on the other side at a specific time.

He continued to ask a few more questions, and the other party's statement just proved his guess.It was at dusk, and when the fishing team was about to return, the person involved suddenly felt something was wrong.He looked up at the sky, and saw the shadow of the four-clawed dragon among the clouds—hiding in the slowly surging fire clouds, it reflected the color of a flowing rainbow for a moment.

No, it might not be a certain color, it might just be an abnormal feedback from the brain under special circumstances.According to the current experimental conclusions, the brain structure of ordinary people may not be able to interpret the amount of information brought by the curse spirit, and it is possible to see any abnormalities in such a short contact.

The trembling that seemed to make people's skin crawl only lasted for a short moment. Although the rest of the companions did not see the dragon, some of the fishermen also felt a sense of crisis that seemed to come from the deep sea. Everyone communicated with each other in private After a while, I firmly believed that there must be a dragon spirit passing here, so I decided to go to that sea area to make sacrifices after the fishing moratorium was over.

That day happened to be the last day before the fishing ban, which also has special significance for local fishermen.

For this kind of long speech full of excitement, Toyama Minato has only feeling: the intuition is very accurate, but the inference is completely wrong.

According to the second law of mantras, all mantras are malicious to human beings.Yuanshan can reasonably infer that the "soul-spirited trembling" felt by the other party at sea should be the coercion brought by high-level curse spirits to human beings, but most ordinary people with dull senses cannot accept it. With this amount of information, and their sensitivity is not as good as that of magicians, they misinterpret the signal of the existence of magic spirits.

——Then the question arises, how to spread the detection range of drones to distant seas?

Regardless of whether it can be realized or not, we must first think about it and refer to precedents...

Toyama Minato’s first reaction was the Global Hawk UAV, which cruises at a constant speed within 42 hours of work. In theory, it can take off from the mainland of the United States and fly to any location on the earth [1]. However, this idea was immediately abandoned as soon as it appeared. Considering the price tag of military drones and the difficulty of researching and developing lower-level substitutes, it is estimated that Hashida Zhi's children will be born after they are produced.

In a laboratory far away in Tokyo, a super hacker who was operating a computer suddenly sneezed.

Yuanshan Minato's current drones fly at a height of about 500 meters, with a cruising radius of seven kilometers and a maximum flight time of 10 minutes.As a civilian drone, it is already very good, but it is barely used to explore the curse spirits that live in the sea all year round.

After careful consideration, he finally chose a relatively effective method—release the drone from different locations along the coastline, let it fly within the maximum range, and keep recording the mana around him.If it is assumed that mana, like radiation or gravitational field, has the characteristics of high concentration in the center (substituting the gravitational field for strong attraction) and low concentration of mana at the edge, then it can be drawn in the computer like a contour map Draw a map of the cloud of mana in this sea area.

The rest of the work is to use the computer to make calculations. If all goes well, the range of activities of the spell spirit can be compressed into a narrow enough area for easy detection.

As soon as he said it, Toyama Minato immediately released the drone, but it was a physical effort, and the charging box of the machine had to be replaced every half an hour, and he had to move and adjust his initial position.His behavior even attracted a few local fishermen to watch from a distance. The two sides asked a few words, and Toyama Minato made up a new identity for himself, saying that he was a college student who came to test the aircraft.

Judging from the current efficiency, the two drones fly alternately, and it may take an entire night to draw a cloud map of mana concentration that can be roughly positioned.

—College students who often stay up late have no problem with this.

The problem he was worried about was that if he stayed up all night, he might get nothing - after all, it was just a netizen's exaggerated statement. Although he initially judged that the other party was telling the truth, if this person lied, he couldn't go offline on the spot. Reciprocate an old punch to the opponent on the line.

... Well, it's possible, but it's just unnecessary.

The hotel he booked was not far from the seaside. After spending the whole night, he finally roughly determined the sea area where the spell spirit existed.However, the problem is that the maximum flying altitude of the drone is about 500 meters, which has not yet detected the altitude of the mantra—that is, he has determined the activity area of ​​the mantra in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, The Z axis is currently only an unknown quantity greater than 500 meters.

But it is good to have a mantra, which means that one night's work is not in vain. After seeing the displayed data, he couldn't help but cheered in a low voice while holding the laptop.

After the target is found, the crossover becomes a new problem.Toyama Minato sighed, and called Assistant Supervisor Iwata-san without much hope.It was dawn at this time, and many people probably hadn't woken up at this time, and the voice on the other end of the phone also had a strong nasal voice, but after listening to his report, the other party woke up completely, and even took a breath: "Mr. Yamami, although I heard that you are going to Tottori Prefecture, but..."

——How did he discover the curse spirit located above the sea, more than ten kilometers away from the coastline, and even hidden above the clouds? ?

With such strength, why do you want to be a "window"? Although Mr. Yamami has never been taught systematically, judging from his experience so far, it should not be difficult for the other party to mix up a special third level...

"Hmm... Is this based on the mathematical analysis of the concentration curve of space magic power?"

Toyama Minato said something that sounded like a mantra: "In short, the scope of the search has been expanded, but it has not improved my combat ability."

In fact, he still has a little guilty conscience. This is the first time he has used a similar method, and he only measured vague data. If there is an oolong incident, it will probably be very laborious to explain.

It’s best to send a conjurer with long-range attack ability to solve it... Toyama Minato is a bit selfish, and analyzed to the other party on the phone: If it is a bow and arrow or other types of weapons, even if you rent a boat to attack from the ground to the sky, against the Gravity's effective range must reach more than 500 meters, so it's best to find a shikigami, or the magician himself can fly.

This was almost what he had figured out - if Xia Youjie came over, even if he didn't find the curse spirit, he would probably be able to help lie together.

The assistant supervisor did not suspect him, and also felt that what Yuan Shanzuo said made sense: it appeared in the form of a dragon on the sea, and even if it didn't carry out an accurate test of the spell power, it could be understood by knees that the level of the spell spirit must not be low.So he directly reported the information, and then urgently contacted the high school, wanting to ask if the two students who are extremely famous in various senses are available.

——Tottori Prefecture?Flying spell?

Xia Youjie was taken aback for a moment, then nodded sharply, "I'm free, of course I'm free, and I would like to ask you to help me buy two air tickets. It's okay if the time is tight, we can get on the plane now."

After he finished speaking, he was a little nervous again, did he act like he was too urgent, which didn't fit his usual mature and stable image at all.

The assistant supervisor was suddenly dumbfounded, thinking that Mr. Xia You really has no airs at all, and he is really different from those magicians whose eyes grow to the top of their heads.Relieved, he felt a little puzzled. There is actually a Shinkansen from Tokyo to Tottori Prefecture, so why do you have to take a plane.

But he quickly put this issue behind him. It's normal for conjurers to have some quirks of their own, especially Xia You, who is strong and polite. He doesn't need to bring weapons and he doesn't need to check in luggage. The plane is no different from the Shinkansen.He can record this personal preference level preference, and try to take care of the other party's needs in the future.

Two hours later, a plane took off from Tokyo.
