Chapter 7 - Neo Tetarto

Ebraham walked around the world while examining it with his Domain.

The fifth planet from suns was a lone planet without any natural moon orbiting around it. The tilt of its axis was at 40 degrees causing the seasons to be extreme. Especially for summer and winter.

It was early winter in the Northern Hemisphere when the young woman arrived to his world. Hundreds of days had passed yet winter was still not over. This had something to do with the planet's rotation speed.

The fifth planet was previously a frozen block of ice. It rotated at a high speed and could finished one complete rotation in less than 10 hours. Which means its solar day was less than 10 hours.

After the ice started to thaw, ocean and rivers flowed again which produced friction to planet's rotation. This friction slowed down the planet's rotation and increased the time for a solar day.

When the planet started to thaw, it was in winter-summer season; winter in Northern Hemisphere, while summer in Southern Hemisphere. And it was an EXTREME winter-summer season causing the melting process in Northern Hemisphere to be delayed even with the heat of two Suns, while except for the South Pole, the ice was completely melted in Southern Hemisphere.

The delay was the transition process for the world to stabilized its rotation speed. With ocean water slowly increased, the friction between ocean water and planet's surface also slowly increased. This leaded to a gentle deceleration in planet's rotation speed.

Which also means longer time for a complete rotation and longer solar day. A day that used to be 20 hours was now more than 30 hours. And the numbers were still increasing.

The delay was also the world way to protect the planet from sheer destruction. If the planet that was moving at 6000 km/h (kilometer per hour) suddenly decelerated to 2000 km/h, everything unbounded on it might be fling out to the space due to the inertia. That was down two third of its speed. World-wide disasters; tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc will plunged the world into chaos.

Ebraham predicted that the world rotation and day time will be stabilized in early spring, when most of the ice had thawed. When he studied the time and calendar of the world, he was not completely certain with his calculations as that was his prediction, not the real situation. So, he decided to postpone making conclusion about time and calendar, and wait until everything stabilized. He still continued keeping records of his findings though.

By utilizing Domain that encompassed the world, Ebraham received a buttload of superfine data about the world; its inhabitants, its weather, its contents, its behaviours etc. If Ebraham had used his body and brain to process that data, his brain would burst just to store the data he received at every second.

Fortunately, Ebraham was in spiritual state and could make use of his soul to process the data.

He was also familiar with big data processing procedure and multitasking as he was Master of Automata. Every one of his automata would send data they collected to him, their master. And the number of his automata only in his battalion had already amounted to 10 thousand. The amount of data he received then was already beyond a normal human capability. Thankfully his 'Ardent Mind' ability could support his action.

Currently, even without his physical brain, Ebraham could still use his 'Ardent Mind' ability that should have located in his brain.

Ebraham theorized that either 'Ardent Mind' was deeply ingrained into his soul that his thought process in physical state was still the same in his spiritual state, or he still somehow connected to his brain and the 'Ardent Mind' ability was activated when he needed to used it.

Either way, Ebraham was extremely grateful that he could still use his ability. This ability was his greatest blessing that had accompanied him in his numerous meritorious achievements.

In addition to this, his ability seemed had evolved to higher level. Be it the processing data into information, recalling relevant data, or even the speed of the process, all of it had overwhelmingly increased.

So, his decision to cover the whole planet with his Domain was not overreaching his capability at all. Instead Ebraham was fully capable to that and even with plenty leeway to manoeuvre himself.

To complement his ability, Ebraham devoted a portion of Blood Obsidian as an Archive to engrave all the data he received from his Domain. This was for his reference if by chance he forgotten some of the data. The Archive would also be useful to the later generation for their understanding of the world or magic creation.

The rough geography of fifth planet, excluding water, resembled an apple with its middle part eaten, leaving only top and bottom parts.

In Northern Hemisphere, there were two large continents that were very close to each other that it appeared as one when seen from space. Both continents were very large that they covered two third of the hemisphere. In between the continents was straight deep fjord that divided the East Continent and West Continent.

In Southern Hemisphere, there was a shallow sea with a large archipelago. The Southern Hemisphere was dotted with millions of islands either big or small. Except for the South Pole, most of islands were volcanic islands with a mixed of active and stable volcanos. The volcanos formed a wide Ring of Fires at the outer layer of the archipelago.

In the equator, there was a chasmic deep dark ocean that divided the north and south. Same as other ocean-filled planets, the behaviour of ocean and wind were relative to the rotation of planet and position of its continents.

In the case of fifth planet, there was a huge gap between continents in the North and shallow sea in the South. With no continent hindering its current, the dark ocean was very turbulent. It formed a ring of rotating body of water around the equator. This ring of water formed a natural boundary between Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere and was filled with rapid current and thunderstorms.

Even a high-tech long-distance deep seafaring ship will instantly be destroyed by the fast current alone if it tried to cross the boundary. As comparison for the speed of the current, if a portable beacon was placed on the equator ocean, it would instantly be carried by the current westward and went beyond the horizon within minutes.

If not possible with waterborne vessel, then what about aircraft? Unfortunately, while the sea was plagued by rapid current, the sky was also troubled with sky-high stormy thunderclouds and strong hurricane. Even aircraft of an advanced civilization like in Ebraham's previous world did not have ability to go through the storm.

It would be easier to fly over through the outer space than go through the trouble to endure the punishing boundary.

Since it was physically and technologically impossible for normal human to pass through the boundary, Ebraham decided to call the ocean in the equator as Oria Oceana which meant 'the boundary ocean'.

In actuality, the ocean water was only seemed to be moving at fast speed by the perspective of inhabitants on the planet. If seen from space, the water was actually not moving, but the planet was the one moving instead. The ocean water remained in place by the influence of inertia, while the planet rotated by its axis at a fast speed carrying its inhabitants along.

The inhabitants which moved along with the planet did not feel the planet was moving but would see a misconception that the ocean current was moving at a fast speed just like stationary trees seemed moving backwards when seen in moving car. It was the same concept when far away celestial bodies like sun and stars seemed moving from east to west when day and night revolved.

The ecology of inhabitants in fifth planet were also relative to its geography. It was mainly divided into three group that dominated each geographical region. The continents in Northern Hemisphere were dominated by terrestrial creature. The deep ocean in Oria Oceana was dominated by oceanic creature. While the archipelago in Southern Hemisphere was dominated by avian creature.

After fully examining the fifth planet, Ebraham decided to name it Neo Tetarto which meant 'the new fourth' as it was now the new fourth planet from the sun because the first planet was destroyed in the Great Cataclysmic Reversal. The name was also a reminder that the planet was once the fifth planet, but the Great Cataclysmic Reversal happened and life continued to live on this planet.

Except for the blue planet, other planets were named by its original position from sun. The names of all planets starting from the nearest to the Suns outwards were the following: Deftero, Trito, Ble Planan (blue planet), Neo Tetarto, Ecto, Evdomo, Ogto, Enato, and Dekato.

Ebraham also decided to simply name the two suns as Solar I and Solar II. Solar I was the original sun, while Solar II was the second sun. It was hard for normal human to distinguish them without proper equipment. However, Ebraham kept record on both of them since the Great Cataclysmic Reversal. It might be useful for further studies.
