I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 153 Measuring the Circumference of a Planet! (seeking subscription)

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and under the spare no efforts of the [Magic Daily], the pendulum experiment at the seminar and the news that Lynn was planning to measure the circumference of the planet under his feet quickly spread. The whole wizarding land.

  This explosive news has shocked countless civilians and wizards. No one in the past thought that they could measure the continent and ocean they were too lazy to survive.

   After all, the sea is too vast. Before that, many people believed that this world has no end!

   But Lynn was doing something that everyone thought was impossible, and proposed a logically feasible method, and even proved his planetary theory with experiments!

So in a very short period of time, Lynn, the Arcane Society, and his method of measuring the planet's circumference immediately became the hottest topic in the wizarding land. Mention two sentences to show your profound knowledge.

However, the Flat Earth Theory has been rooted in the Land of Wizards for too long. That simple, self-centered theory still has many supporters. These people firmly believe that the continent under their feet can never be round. Yes, this is all a magic trick done by the wizard from the Overseas Mist!

   But whether they agree or disagree, they all rushed towards Greenriel, ready to witness this historic scene!

  Having received Philip's invitation early, Kevin and Orlando also arrived in Greenriel in a carriage, along with Darren and other halflings.

   "Look, that pendulum!" Darren just entered the city and saw the huge iron ball that was constantly swinging in the center of the city.

   That is Raphael, the master architect. With the permission of the parliament and the authorization of Lynn, the pendulum pointer was engraved one-to-one. Even the sand table and scale disc below are exactly the same.

  The only change is that the very ambitious Raphael did not erect a wooden stick on the sand table as a pointer, because he is going to create a great art that can last forever!

In order to create this miracle, more than a dozen alchemy masters did not hesitate to stay up all night, and spent three whole days setting up a huge alchemy formation under the sand table, pulling out all the elements in the nearby space, forming a vacuum field.

   In this way, without the influence of air resistance, theoretically, the pendulum can continue to move in this way under the joint action of gravity and geostrophic deflection force.

  Every wizard who walked into Greenriel couldn't help but sigh when seeing this iron ball that can swing back and forth without any external force, and even deflect its direction, this is simply a miracle in the history of magic!

   "How long is it until twelve o'clock at noon?" Raphael looked at the sky, the scorching sun was already hanging high above his head, and asked for the seventh time.

   "There are only fifteen minutes left!" The apprentices next to him looked excitedly at the magic clock.

  Such a scene was staged in every corner of Greenriel, and everyone was looking forward to it. Those wizards who had no money to buy magic clocks were all staring at the sundial, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

  At the same time, an airship was galloping across the open sea.

As early as 11:45 noon the day before yesterday, the airship had already set off from Greenriel, and under the gaze of countless people, it began its long-distance voyage. It has been sailing at sea for two days now, that is, a total of seven hundred and two ten kilometers!

  Lin En had to lament that this sea area is so wide and unimaginable, he only saw scattered uninhabited islands along the way.

In order to increase the rigor of the experiment, and to have a beacon to guide the airship when returning home, Harov also erected a stone pillar with magic on a midway island, and left a wizard to record the data, while the rest Others continue to cross the sea in airships.

   "The time should be around the corner, right?" Harov glanced at the magic clock in the cockpit. It was less than fifteen minutes before twelve noon.

  Lin En nodded and looked at the halfling girl in charge of piloting the airship. "Okay, Lydia, let's stop here!"

"The Observatory has arrived at the designated location. The total voyage time is forty-eight hours. Now it is starting to land!" Lydia respectfully gave Lin En a sailing etiquette, and then trotted all the way to turn off the alchemy steam engine that drives the propeller. , and then empty the auxiliary airbag to lower the height.

  Because of being too excited to perform a long-distance voyage for the first time, the halfling girl has suffered from two dark circles, but her spirit is very excited and she doesn't look tired at all.

  Harov didn't wait for the airship to stop and land, so he couldn't wait to fly down, and landed on the sea very smoothly under the effect of the slow fall technique.

  The wind and waves on the sea were very strong, and the turbulent waves jumped high and rolled towards Harov.

  But the next moment, a strong wave of magic power appeared on Harov's body. Time seemed to stop suddenly, and the sweeping waves were instantly condensed into an ice sculpture.

   Immediately afterwards, this force quickly extended towards the wide sea surface. Wherever it passed, the churning waves were all frozen into thick ice. In an instant, the entire sea surface became a huge floating ice island.

  At this moment, the airship slowly fell from the sky.

The few people who got off the pod saw the strange scene produced by the instant freeze of the sea surface. It was like a beautiful ice scroll. The surging sea water and the jumping waves were all turned into sculptures and preserved. down.

   But Harov obviously didn't have time to appreciate any art. While waving his right hand, he used magic to carve out a large wide and straight ice surface, and then erected a giant icicle up to 100 meters high in the center of the ice surface.

   "How much longer?" Harroff shouted.

   "One minute, the last minute! There are fifty-three seconds left!" Lydia shouted loudly holding the magic clock.

  At this moment, no matter on Floating Iceland or Greenriel, everyone looked up at the sun, feeling that this minute has passed so long.

  With ten seconds left, Lynn took out the string and handed the other end to Harov, ready to measure the length of the icicle shadow.

  The transparent icicles shone with strange brilliance under the sunlight.

As the editor of Magic Daily, Luo Er, who was lucky enough to get the qualification to ride an airship, was standing on the ice with a frenzied expression, his right hand holding the quill was shaking quickly on the paper, and the wide floating ice island, towering icicles, The landing airship and Lynn and Harov who used the rope to measure the length of the shadow were all drawn on the parchment...
