Alchemy Principles of Type-Moon World

"Perhaps I should re-evaluate my life." Kenneth regained his composure, his voice low and firm. At that moment, he savored the rare tranquility and expansive view before him, as if he had found some new strength in the vastness of the universe. The Earth slowly turned beneath their feet, a beautiful blue and white canvas that constantly reminded him of the insignificance and fragility of humanity.

"Ah, the teacher's calling me. I'll go back to the cabin first, then?" Xing Qingfeng keenly sensed that Kenneth needed some alone time and found an excuse to leave. His voice sounded a little brisk over the headset. He nodded slightly, waved to Kenneth, and then with a light kick, his body slowly moved towards the space capsule.

"Then let me be alone for a while." Kenneth seemed to have remembered something, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "By the way, when you're done, could you get me a set of writing pads and pencils?"

"What are you going to do?" Xing Qingyu was a little confused. He stopped moving and looked at Kenneth in confusion.

"I want to paint this scene." There was a hint of tenderness and nostalgia in Kenneth's voice. His eyes passed over the earth and looked at the twinkling stars in the distance. The corners of his mouth rose slightly with a faint smile.

"You can also draw?" Xing Qingyu nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll get it for you when I'm done." After he said that, he continued to move towards the space capsule, his back gradually disappearing into the distance.

Kenneth floated alone in the boundless expanse of space, surrounded by endless darkness and twinkling stars. The earth beneath his feet slowly rotated, like a never-ending scroll. He felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and openness, as if time had stopped for him. He stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch the distant stars, feeling the vastness and immensity of the universe.

"I calculated the shape of the moon." Newton pulled up the data and showed it to Xing Qingjiu. A series of complex graphs and numerical values immediately appeared on the screen, like a star chart twinkling in the night sky. "The key is to calculate its deformation caused by the tides."

Newton's finger slid across the screen, and the graph changed accordingly. "Although there is no liquid ocean on the moon, as an elastic body, the moon has solid tides. Under the influence of the earth's gravity, the shape of the moon and the shape of the gravitational potential around it will change slightly, causing the moon to change from a sphere to an ellipsoid."

"In the case of ocean tides, the dissipation of the tides is due to the friction between the water and the earth," Newton continued. "In the case of solid bodies, there is also dissipation, and this dissipation will eventually cause the rotation of the Moon to slow down, so that the period of the Moon's rotation becomes equal to the period of its revolution around the Sun."

"If its rotation period slows down to be longer than its orbital period, the direction of this torque will be reversed to accelerate its rotation, so that the moon's rotation period is always equal to its orbital period, which is called tidal locking."

Xing Qingwu nodded to show his understanding.

"That is, the moon's rotation should be experiencing periodic speed changes. Although this rate change is extremely small, according to calculations, it's not so small that I can't observe it." Newton smiled confidently. "Although I can't catch up with the people who come after me, I can still overtake them by taking advantage of the mysterious curve."

"Do you know what I discovered?" Newton paused, as if waiting for Xing Qingfeng's response. "I didn't notice any cyclical changes at all."

"The moon's rotation rate remains constant. It's so uniform, so uniform that it can only appear in theory." Newton's tone became serious. He stared at the data on the screen with a deeply frown.

He further displayed a more detailed calculation on the screen. "The Moon's orbit is actually an ellipse with an ellipticity of 0.0549. I used this to calculate the change in its angular momentum. I found that if the spin were affected purely by tidal forces, the change in angular momentum caused by the elliptical orbit would cause its rotation period to be slightly shorter than its orbital period, by about percent."

"But we know that for thousands of years, we have never observed the far side of the Moon from Earth's surface. The Moon's rotation period and revolution period are in a one-to-one relationship," Newton explained. "This is not an anomaly. The difference is offset by another force, forming a dynamic equilibrium."

"The moon is not a completely uniform sphere. When the Earth's gravity acts on it, its force will also change periodically as the moon moves in its orbit, which exactly offsets this 3%."

"But the problem is, this is also a dynamic process." Newton frowned as he looked at his observational data. The graph on the screen kept changing, revealing a complex mechanical model. "With these two dynamic processes influencing each other, we should be able to observe extremely small periodic changes."

Xing Qingwu moved closer to the screen and looked carefully at the changing data, his expression becoming serious.

"But its movement is so uniform, so uniform that it seems completely unaffected by the two sets of dynamic balance."

Chapter 2 Update

This shouldn't be too difficult to read, right? If I have time, I'll go over the formula in the group, but forget about the data, it's too tiring (

Volume 34: Alchemy Apprentice from the Fourth War: . Type Moon

On April 1968, 4, the film "2: A Space Odyssey" was released in the United States. The film depicts a mysterious black tablet. This tablet is no ordinary object, but a relic left behind by aliens who arrived on Earth millions of years ago. After exploring Earth's environment, the aliens realized that in the distant future, this planet would inevitably harbor intelligent life. Consequently, they established an outpost on the moon. This outpost not only facilitated human evolution but also monitored and protected the development of human civilization.

The mystery of this black slate lies in the fact that, when it was discovered, no matter what measurement methods were used, even to the limit of measurable precision, the result was always that the ratio of length, width and height was an absolute continuous square number: 1:4:9. Now, this black slate, which only existed in science fiction movies, seemed to have traveled through time and space and reappeared before the eyes of two people in another form -

——No matter how much we improve the accuracy of observation, we cannot observe any changes in the absolutely uniform rotation.

Newton sat in the manned cabin, surrounded by shimmering control panels and screens that constantly refreshed complex data. His brow furrowed, his eyes fixed on the monitor before him, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, a hint of fatigue creeping onto his face.

"My calculations cannot be wrong. If the actual situation does not conform to my calculations, either there is something wrong with the observation instrument-" Newton said confidently.

"-Or there is interference from unnatural factors." Xing Qingfu stood aside, his arms folded across his chest, looking at Newton thoughtfully, and continued speaking after him.

Newton nodded and continued to explain: "In fact, there are too many factors that affect the movement of celestial bodies. I haven't calculated the impact of the sun on the Earth-Moon system." He adjusted his sitting posture and stretched his sore neck a little, his eyes still not leaving the monitor.

After reincarnating himself, Newton felt tired for the first time in a long time. Although the body he made was far inferior to the one he had in his lifetime, and it even limited his functions at this moment, it was only a temporary solution to cope with the special environment of space, and it was enough.

"The moon's motion should be a dynamic equilibrium under the influence of a considerable number of forces," Newton said thoughtfully. "But from what I've observed, it seems to skip the dynamic equilibrium process, calculate the so-called average under the influence of equilibrium, and then continue to calculate based on this value."

Xing Qingqiu walked to the other side of the cabin and looked out the small window at the endless space. The darkness was dotted with countless twinkling stars. He turned around, a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"This is incredibly strange. A sufficiently large change in motion shows no anomalies. Irregularities in the revolution are observable, but tiny perturbations in the rotation seem to be simply wiped out." Newton pulled up more calculated data. "It's as if the system is deliberately staying within the current limits of human observation, disguising itself as normal to avoid human observation."

Xing Qingqiu smiled, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. He jokingly said, "This is a space odyssey. Will we be directed to Jupiter next? Then the ship's AI says a part is about to break, but Kenneth checks and finds it's not broken. So Kenneth thinks there's something wrong with the AI and needs to shut down."

"Where did we get our shipboard AI? This manned module has no interplanetary flight capabilities, not even to the moon." Newton smiled, easing the tense atmosphere slightly. He pulled up the motion data for Venus. "I'm not so arrogant as to completely ignore my assumptions. I've observed Venus's rotation and revolution, and they generally agree with my calculations. The occurrence of various micro-perturbations is quite normal and can be observed."

"The same goes for Mars. I can observe its micro-perturbations. There's no reason why I can't observe micro-perturbations on the moon which is so close." Newton continued to analyze the data attentively in front of the display screen.

Xing Qingyu stood beside Newton, his eyes drifting towards the dark universe outside the cabin, and asked thoughtfully: "Can the dissipation of the true ether on Earth VI Dad (2) Wu Dad Long Si Leng Wu be considered to be related to the abnormality of the moon?" His brows were slightly wrinkled, and he seemed a little confused.

Newton turned to look at him, listening to his reasoning as he processed the data.

"No... Between the two..." Xing Qingfeng continued to ponder, a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Assuming that the moon's anomaly is related to the true ether, then after the true ether dissipates and the Earth-Moon relationship returns to normal, the moon's anomaly should also be resolved. If this line of thought is followed, then the moon's anomaly exists when the true ether exists, and it should return to normal when the true ether ceases to exist."

"But what if the moon's anomaly caused the dissipation of the true ether?" Xing Qingqi continued to reason. "That doesn't make sense either. My hypothesis assumes that the appearance of the true ether caused the abnormal movement of the Earth and the Moon. When the true ether was born, the movement of the moon was affected by the ether and could not move normally. Logically speaking, if it could interfere, it shouldn't have lasted for so long..."

Newton looked at Xing Qingqi with a faint smile on his face. He corrected him, "You've got two things wrong. First, a hypothesis is a theory proposed in the absence of actual evidence. It should change based on the available real-world evidence, rather than forcing it into existence even if the facts don't fit."

He paused and looked at Xing Qingjiu with a hint of gentle admonition in his eyes, "I don't want you to be like those geocentric people who keep adding epicycles and deferents, clinging to that fallacious theory and patching it up."

Xing Qingfeng nodded, accepting the lesson. Newton continued, "Secondly, the moon's rotation anomaly isn't necessarily strongly related to true ether. Think about it carefully."

"The factors that affect the rotation of the moon... the main influences are the effects of centrifugal force and gravity, and the secondary influences are various tiny agitations..." Xing Qingqi analyzed to himself, trying to find the answer.

"Wait a minute," he suddenly realized, "the Moon's rotation barely affects the tidal action on Earth."

"The Earth's mass far exceeds that of the Moon. Tidally locking the Earth to the Moon would take approximately 10 billion years," Newton calculated, his voice steady and powerful. "And based on the Pb-Pb isochrones of lunar rocks, we can conclude that the Moon's age is between 4.4 and 4.6 billion years."

"So it's basically impossible for the moon's rotation to affect the earth," Newton concluded. "Therefore, the moon's anomaly and your hypothesis can basically be considered two independent events."

"Or we can also assume that the dissipation of the true ether and the moon's unusually uniform motion share the same cause, and that they are two relatively independent 'effects' extending from this cause."

Xing Qingfeng sighed, his expression more eager than helpless. "But right now, these are just hypotheses. Is it really impossible to go to the moon and investigate?"

Newton looked around at the cramped cabin, which was mostly occupied by instruments and equipment, with only a few dim lights illuminating their faces. "This manned capsule is at its limit," he explained. "Its design mission was simply to operate in low-Earth orbit for a few weeks and then return."

"What's wrong? Are you feeling a little unwilling?" Newton smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

Xing Qingfeng frowned, his eyes flickering with complex emotions. "It's not so much resignation as worry." He took a deep breath, looked at the moon outside the cabin, and said in a low but firm voice, "I feel a little weird when I think about such a strange thing hanging in the sky."

Newton nodded in understanding.

"I can't say it's fear," Xing Qingyu continued, trying to describe his feelings. "It's more of... curiosity. I want to know why it turned out like this."

"And, and," Xing Qingfeng added, "what if the moon is an alien base ready to attack the Earth at any time?"

"You have quite a rich imagination." Newton patted Xing Qingqiu's head. "But it is indeed necessary to confirm it."

"Right, let's go to the moon!" Xing Qingfeng became excited. "Let's just find some space junk or something and make a space kayak to land on the moon!"

"That's not necessary." Newton pondered for a moment, "Just confirm it here."

Newton pondered for a moment, wondering which method would be better.

Ultimately, in the absence of detection conditions, the current data obtained is the limit of what this spiritual base can achieve. If I wanted to obtain further intelligence, I could use unlimited "origin calculations" while I was alive. Using the present as a starting point, I could grasp the origins of known things, simultaneously predict the past and the future, obtain key information, and then perform targeted calculations, infinitely refining and approximating to predict the possibility.

In the final analysis, it is to immerse the "unknown problem" in known information, and indirectly obtain its general outer shape through continuous refinement, so as to outline its original appearance.

But this spiritual foundation couldn't handle it, and the calculations took far too long. If the calculations were completely unrelated to any known information, including their origins, it would be impossible to draw any conclusions. Ultimately, it was completely useless, a useless piece of equipment he hadn't even used in his lifetime.

What if I connect directly to the Garden of Eden to perform oracle calculations? But after all, I still haven't figured out whether I, as a so-called Servant, am connected to the Throne of Heroes or the Garden of Eden. If it's the former, I probably won't be able to connect.

So I still have to use a Noble Phantasm? I really don't want to use this kind of thing. I feel a little unhappy that my arrogance in my youth would be upgraded to a Noble Phantasm and engraved on my spiritual base.

But now that the problem has been discovered, we should confirm whether it poses a threat to the future of young people, otherwise it would be irresponsible.

Newton's eyes shone with a few strands of golden light, blending with his original emerald green, creating a beautiful color like jade. Although it was a Noble Phantasm, the magical fluctuations were pitifully small. In that instant—

——The moon returned to where it should theoretically be.

"Hmm? The range is so vast. The limits of the Noble Phantasm are the limits of what human science can reach. Doesn't that mean it can extend to the entire solar system?" Newton sighed. "Why would such a thing, almost like a dark history, become such an unreasonable Noble Phantasm?"

"Teacher, I think we should go up and take a look." Xing Qingfeng rechecked the data on the control console and confirmed that all the instruments had reached the limit of observation accuracy. He urged, "Before the moon people invade the earth, we should first rush to land on the beach!"

"Attacking the enemy at night will weaken their spirit! Raiding their camp and engaging them quickly will catch them unawares!"

"I've confirmed it's a harmless observer."

"Ah?" Xing Qingyu was stunned, looking a little bewildered. "You didn't do anything?"

Newton smacked his lips, his tone somewhat helpless. "By connecting to the entity outside the world, I can directly observe all matters in the universe from the outside and thus directly obtain information. Just think of it this way." He was reluctant to reveal that he had used a treasure that was like a dark history to solve the problem, so he lied to cover it up.

"Anyway, it's an observation device that some idle aliens from who knows where placed here, simply to record the existence of life on Earth."

"The aliens left, leaving it alone to observe. To better observe, it continuously expanded its capabilities, eventually encompassing the entire moon and becoming what it is today. It doesn't actually possess any intelligence; it simply serves as an absolutely objective observer, recording all information about Earth. You can think of the moon as a database of meticulous information on Earth's entire history."

"There's no harm in it. It's an absolutely objective recorder, devoid of any intelligence. It's more like it's concealing the route and coordinates of its arrival in the solar system."

"That's probably it. It's a good thing, let's leave it as a treasure for future generations," Newton concluded. "When humans can colonize the moon, perhaps they'll discover it. As long as it doesn't involve something isolated, it's harmless."

"However, if humanity's research on spirit particles is advanced enough to allow them to interfere with the interior of this observer from the outside, their technology would have already surpassed the observer, and by then, it would no longer be a threat."

As the power of the Noble Phantasm faded, the Moon's orbit returned to its original position, as if nothing had changed. If someone on Earth were to observe the Moon carefully at this moment, they might have noticed that the Moon suddenly shrank for a few minutes before returning to its original size.

"Isn't that the so-called black slate, used on the set of our fantasy space odyssey?" Xing Qingfeng said excitedly. "Since it poses no threat, shouldn't we go up and take a look?"

　"Let's wait until the probe launches," Newton said, glancing at the capsule's orbital data. "It's almost reaching its designated location, so it's time to prepare for launch."

--------------

I'm stuck in this, and I need to sort out my thoughts. I'm considering how to deal with the Moon Crystal. My current plan is to leave it alone after a preliminary exploration, and then discuss it in detail in the extra chapter after the final chapter.

Actually, I was so excited about writing that I didn't plan to involve mooncell in the original plot, but as I was writing, I was so excited last night that I insisted on opening a moon landing line... So I finally have to write about a moon landing journey with a bit of humor.

Volume 35: Alchemy Apprentice from the Fourth War: . The So-called Astronaut Tradition

In space, a satellite-like manned spacecraft hovered quietly in Earth's synchronous orbit. The metallic exterior of the spacecraft shone faintly in the sunlight, while the shadowed side of the craft was a deep darkness, a stark contrast to the bright stars in the distance. Nearby, Earth resembled a sapphire, its azure atmosphere blanketed in white clouds striking against the black backdrop of the universe. The Earth's scenery was magnificent and tranquil, like a tranquil painting, captivating and captivating.

Inside the spacecraft, the lights were soft, and various instruments and equipment had been rearranged and strapped to the walls, emitting a gentle hum. As the three men, with no sense of proper equipment placement, conducted their various experiments, they frequently detached instruments from the walls, leaving their wires scattered everywhere. They tossed them away after use, leaving only the instruments themselves to their final destination. Replacing the instruments after each experiment became an impossible task, with cables spreading across the cabin like vines, and the instruments scattered like MyGOs... I mean, like lost children.

In less than thirty hours, the once tidy cabin was reduced to the mess of a college student's bedroom a week after returning home. Toolboxes were opened, and screwdrivers and wrenches scattered across the floor. Lab notebooks and pens floated in the air, creating a strange, weightless landscape. After each operation and experiment, the interior of the spacecraft felt like a miniature storm, with items scattered and cables tangled.

If it weren't for the old English Union Jack elegance and reserve that Kenneth still possessed, he would have suggested a little ceremony before the official launch, perhaps cleaning up the cabin and taking a group photo. This suggestion was unanimously agreed, though the actual action seemed somewhat elusive. During each cleanup, Kenneth patiently returned each instrument to its proper place and straightened out tangled cables, while Xing Qingfeng and Newton would create more "battlegrounds" behind him.

The view outside the porthole was magnificent and silent. Inside, the three people were floating in the low-gravity environment, busy with pre-launch preparations. Xing Qingfeng was searching for the missing flight control computer data display panel. His voice echoed in the cramped cabin: "Oh my god! Where did I put the flight control computer data display panel?"

"I remember it was right next to me?"

Upon hearing this, Kenneth put down the experimental notebook in his hand, floated to the other side, and pointed to a panel: "I remember it was here... No, this is the panel of the multi-spectral sensor." He scratched his head, trying to recall the order he had sorted it out last time.

"Wait, what are you holding in your hand?" Kenneth noticed the panel in Xing Qingqi's hand, "It's not in your hand?"

"Really? That's fine then."

They were mainly busy with these tasks, and busy meant finding the various panels and instruments they had put away. The preparations before each operation were like a treasure hunt. Xing Qingfeng was searching for the panels in a pile of neatly arranged equipment, while Kenneth was there to give instructions.

It’s hard to imagine that this makeshift team can make it to the sky.

Newton, on the other hand, was completely absorbed in his mission. He sat at the central control console, his eyes fixed on a display showing the probe's real-time data and status. The subtle vibrations of the spacecraft and the humming of the instruments seemed to have no bearing on him; his world consisted solely of the numbers and images on the display. His fingers flew across the keyboard, typing in a series of commands to ensure the probe's various parameters were normal.

"We're almost at the designated location. After a final check, we'll start the launch sequence."

The spacecraft's side hatch slowly opened, and a robotic arm nimbly and lightly extended from the exterior. At its end, the arm grasped a delicate probe. In the microgravity environment, the arm maneuvered effortlessly, gently delivering the probe to its intended location. The probe's surface gleamed with a subtle metallic sheen in the sunlight, creating a striking presence.

Newton stared intently at the orbital diagram on the display, calculating the probe's launch window and planned trajectory. Kenneth prepared to begin the probe's launch procedure. Xing Qingqiu monitored the probe's status data, ensuring all systems were functioning properly.

"The probe launch is ready, and the countdown has begun in 30 seconds." Kenneth's slightly distorted voice was transmitted to everyone through the communication system, and the countdown numbers began to flash on the display screen.

"You're still using a communication system in such a small place? Do you think it uses too much electricity?" Xing Qingwu complained with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Ha, it's too troublesome to take off the helmet and put it on again." Kenneth responded with a few chuckles and continued to pay attention to the countdown on the display.

As the countdown continued to flash on the screen, the atmosphere in the cabin seemed to grow heavier. Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the display.

"...Three, two, one, fire!"

As the final countdown ended, the spacecraft's external robotic arm swiftly and accurately released the probe to its designated location. Once freed from the robotic arm, the probe paused for a moment before its microthrusters emitted a burst of blue flames, and the probe began to slowly accelerate toward its predetermined orbit. The thruster flames left a pale blue trail in space, striking against the profound darkness.

"Now, all three of my magic reactors have crashed into space." Kenneth looked out the window at the retreating Traveler-i. "How should I put it, I suddenly feel a little proud."

"Rather than letting them fall into the hands of a narrow-minded person like me, it is better to fly into the vast space."

"I think your first two magic furnaces will definitely have no objections." Xing Qingfeng thought for a moment and added, "Especially the first magic furnace that crashed."

"Could you please not say these things at a time like this..."

The probe gleamed in the sunlight, gradually moving away from the spacecraft, like a tiny meteor streaking across the sky. Data streamed back to the cabin's display screen in real time. Xing Qingfeng quickly checked the probe's trajectory and status. The panel indicated that all parameters were within normal range, ensuring the probe was operating as planned.

"All systems are normal, and the probe has entered the planned orbit." Xing Qingqiu said excitedly, his eyes sparkling. "Wuhu takeoff, let's go outside and take a look."

The indicator lights on the console flashed steadily, and the instruments in the cabin made a slight buzzing sound. At this moment, in Xing Qingfu's ears, it seemed as if they were cheering for their success.

"Hmm... Let me just confirm if there's any discrepancy between the predicted and actual trajectory." Xing Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly became furtive, and his voice revealed an unusual urgency. "Kenneth, you and the teacher should go out together. I'll be back later."

"Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?" Kenneth frowned, his eyes full of suspicion. He stared at Xing Qingyu, trying to find clues from his expression. Although there was nothing wrong with Xing Qingyu's expression, he just felt that Xing Qingyu was planning something unspeakable at this moment.
