Chapter 353 The Law of Light: Refraction
……

As the crowd dispersed,
Wu Wen once again immersed himself in a state of "seclusion".

The shipbuilding process is far more difficult than imagined.

In particular, the operating system corresponding to the formation, as well as the attack methods and power derived from the formation, are even more complex and difficult to understand.

He meticulously arranged countless tiny light prisms. These light prisms of the defense mechanism were not arranged in a straight line, but cleverly intersected and refracted at specific angles according to the principle of light refraction.

When an enemy enters the area, all the light prisms instantly change their refraction direction and shoot out from all directions, rushing straight at the enemy.

Each prism is incredibly sharp, and as it refracts, it continuously absorbs surrounding light energy, becoming increasingly bright and intense.

Once it pierces the enemy, it will not only cause physical penetration damage, but also burn the enemy's body tissues due to the high temperature.

……

During the architecture process,

Wu Wenjing, without realizing it,
The principles governing the use of "light" were analyzed and discovered:

Refraction of light!

Light, as an electromagnetic wave, propagates in a straight line in a uniform medium; this is the fundamental operating mode of the laws of light.

However, when light travels at an angle from one medium into another, its direction of propagation is deflected; this is the phenomenon of refraction.

From a microscopic perspective, the optical properties of different media differ, mainly in their impact on the speed of light propagation.

For example, the speed of light in air is close to its speed in a vacuum, about 30 kilometers per second; however, when light enters water or glass, its speed of propagation slows down significantly.

This change in speed causes light to follow the law of refraction at the interface of the medium, thus changing its direction.

The law of refraction precisely describes the relationship between the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction, and the refractive indices of the two media: the incident ray, the refracted ray, and the normal lie in the same plane, and the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the refractive indices of the two media…

This shows that
Laws of refraction of light
Essentially, it's the law of the speed of light!

The speed of light has already entered the realm of time!

Time, how fascinating!
This extremely mysterious realm instantly captivated Wu Wen, leaving him unable to extricate himself.

Time flies by day by day.

Fortunately, Wu Wen's main body on Earth had not studied this field, so when he sensed something was wrong, he immediately pulled his clone out of the "sinking" state.

Wu Wen couldn't help but feel fortunate about this.

"Time is too mysterious!"

"Although it only touched a tiny bit of its fur, it's still beyond my current ability to understand."

Upon waking up, Wu Wen immediately dared not explore the realm of time any further, but instead began to delve into the laws of light.

He planned to thoroughly understand the Laws of Light before considering venturing into the realm of time.

Another period of time passed quickly.
As the ship gradually took shape, the core light energy array was also slowly perfected. Wu Wen gradually comprehended and mastered the array system corresponding to light energy.

A solar-powered array system,
It starts with the basic formation "Light Evolution Rune Array".

Gradually, nine levels of formations, from low to high, emerged.

Level 1: Micro-light Initial Evolution Array

In terms of rune composition, the center features a circular basic rune emitting a faint glow, resembling a newly lit star. Surrounding it are three layers of simple, sparse, straight-line runes, each layer containing three small, diamond-shaped light-evolving runes evenly distributed within it. The rune lines are delicate, the light dim, and the overall appearance is like a rudimentary prototype of light.

This formation has virtually no effect. Once activated, it emits an extremely faint, soft light, illuminating only a small area within a three-meter radius, as dim as a nearly extinguished candle in the night. The emitted light is a single, pale yellow color, unable to have any substantial impact on objects, serving only a simple illumination purpose.

Level 2: Soft Light Diffraction Array
In terms of rune composition, the central rune is larger and slightly brighter, while the surrounding straight runes have increased to four layers, with five diamond-shaped light-evolving runes on each layer. The rune lines are thicker, and the light is slightly brighter, exhibiting a faint orange halo, giving the overall structure a more three-dimensional feel.

Its effect is an increased light intensity, illuminating an area within a six-meter radius, with a brightness comparable to a regular nightlight. The emitted light turns orange-yellow, slightly altering the refractive index of the surrounding air and causing subtle bending effects as the light passes through.

Level 3: Warm Light Gradient Array
In terms of composition, the central rune shines brighter, and the surrounding straight runes have increased to five layers, with seven diamond-shaped light-emitting runes in each layer. The rune lines have become thicker, the orange halo is more pronounced, and a faint energy flow has begun to appear between the runes, forming a dynamic network of light.

Its abilities are beginning to emerge. The range of the light beam has expanded to a radius of ten meters, and it can exert a slight adhesive force on lightweight objects within a five-meter radius, such as a thin sheet of paper, causing them to slowly move towards the center of the light beam.

Level 4: Bright Light Array
The central rune emitted a bright yellow light, and the number of surrounding straight runes increased to six layers, with nine diamond-shaped light-evolving runes in each layer. The rune lines were thick, the yellow halo was rich, and the energy flow between the runes was more obvious, creating a shimmering light effect.

In terms of capabilities, the light can cover an area with a radius of fifteen meters. The emitted light turns a bright golden yellow and can change the direction of light propagation, causing it to be deflected at a simple angle of up to fifteen degrees.

Level 5: Diffraction array in strong light.

The central rune shone brightly, and the surrounding straight runes expanded to seven layers, each layer containing eleven rhomboid light-evolving runes. The rune lines shimmered with intense light, and a yellow halo almost enveloped the entire formation, with the energy flow between the runes forming a distinct stream of light.

In terms of capabilities, the light beam has a radius of twenty meters and a brightness comparable to intense sunlight. The emitted light turns a dazzling white and can exert a certain amount of propulsion on medium-sized objects within a ten-meter radius, such as a small block of wood, causing them to move slowly.

Level 6: Blazing Light Intensive Array.

The central rune emitted a strong orange-white light, and the surrounding straight runes increased to eight layers, with thirteen diamond-shaped light-evolving runes in each layer. The rune lines resembled burning flames, and the orange-white halo was extremely intense. The energy flow between the runes formed a faint storm of light.

The array's power manifests as light covering an area with a radius of 25 meters, with extremely high brightness, resembling a miniature sun. The emitted light turns incandescent white and can be focused to form a tiny beam with a diameter of up to five centimeters, easily penetrating thin objects.

Level 7: Radiant Frenzy Array.

The central rune shone brightly, a brilliant white, while the surrounding straight runes expanded to nine layers, each layer containing fifteen rhomboid light-evolving runes. The rune lines resembled bursts of lightning, with a bright white halo spreading outwards, and the energy flow between the runes forming a powerful vortex of light.

In terms of the array's power, the light range reaches a radius of thirty meters, the brightness reaches its limit, and the emitted light color turns into a dazzling blue-white. It can change the frequency of the light, causing interference and forming alternating light and dark striped patterns.

Level 8: Aurora Burst Array.

The central rune emitted a dazzling, multicolored light, and the surrounding linear runes increased to ten layers, with seventeen diamond-shaped light-evolving runes in each layer. The rune lines resembled flowing rainbows, and the colorful halos were extremely intense. The energy flow between the runes formed a violent torrent of light.

In terms of power, the light can cover an area with a radius of fifty meters, emitting a mixture of various colors, such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It can simultaneously produce various optical phenomena such as refraction, reflection, and interference, forming a complex and magnificent field of light energy.

Level 9: Holy Light Shock Array
The central rune became a dazzling sphere of light, radiating a strong white glow. Eleven layers of straight runes surrounded it, with nineteen diamond-shaped light-evolving runes in each layer. The lines of the runes resembled burning holy flames, and a white halo enveloped the entire array area. The energy flow between the runes formed a powerful storm of light energy.

Once activated, the array possesses astonishing power, expanding its range to a radius of 100 meters. The emitted light has extremely high energy and can simultaneously produce strong optical effects on multiple objects in the surrounding environment, such as causing photochromism on the surface of objects and photorefractive effects on some transparent objects.
