I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 318 It seems that Master Lin En is going to make a mistake this time!

  While the wizards of Greenriel City were studying the method of measuring the speed of light, a conversation was also going on in the manor of the legendary Speaker Harov.

   "The existing magic theories in the Land of Wizards are very crude... Did he really say that?"

  After listening to Aurora's narration, Harov frowned involuntarily. Lynn's words were undoubtedly a provocation to the entire wizarding land.

   It is also a great disrespect to those pioneers who have worked hard to develop and study magic. Even if they have extraordinary knowledge, they should not be so arrogant.

"No, I don't think he meant just the land of wizards. The magical theories researched by the [Secret Society] are no exception. They all appear extremely crude in front of optics..." Aurora explained, and at the same time recalled I remembered what Lynn said at the meeting.

  Optics is the most important key to reveal the microcosmic real world...

  What exactly does this real world refer to?

   Could it be that the world they see now is false?

   Aurora thought in confusion, always understanding the meaning of these words very well.

   Harov was also lost in thought. From the previous contact and the various novel theories put forward by Lynn, it can be seen that the [Secret Society] has a far deeper understanding of magic and the world than they do.

  If these words are not intentional ridicule and arrogance, then it is worth exploring, what kind of secrets does the ubiquitous light contain, and it can be worthy of such an evaluation...

   Harov really wanted to attend another gathering of legendary wizards and ask in person, but until now he has not received another invitation.

Although Harov, who owns the [Ring of the Secret Law], also has the right to organize other people's meetings, he seems too eager. The most important thing is that he hasn't figured out the big bang theory, and he hasn't been able to research it out. A novel theory for an army of legends to explore.

Thinking of this, Harov vaguely understands why the gathering of legendary wizards has not yet been held. It is normal for a magic research to take seven or eight years, or even ten years to produce some results. The Land of Wizards once a year Academic seminars are already frequent.

   "It seems that we must pay more attention to the study of optics." Harov's expression became extremely solemn, and then he looked at Aurora and asked curiously. "Can you measure the speed of light?"

  Aurora is the one who has the deepest understanding of optics among them. If she can't do anything, then the entire Wizarding Land may not be able to measure the speed of light.

   "I think we can start with astronomy!" Aurora said in a deep voice.

  What is the most difficult thing about measuring the speed of light? Of course, the speed of light is unbelievably fast, and they couldn't find a large enough venue for the experiment, and it was difficult to create a strong light enough to span thousands of kilometers.

   And when it comes to the vastness of the distance, of course it belongs to the starry sky of the universe!

According to the data they calculated last year, the diameter of the entire planet is tens of thousands of kilometers, and the distance between the planets is even further. The most important thing is that the sun above their heads is a super-large luminous body. As long as you know the distance between the two sides, Wouldn't that be able to measure the speed of light?

   "This method is good!" Harov said in admiration, but soon interrupted as if thinking of something. "No, no, the moment we see the sun, the light has already arrived, and there is no way to measure the speed of light."

  According to Lynn, everything they see is the reflection of light. Before the light reaches them, they can't see the sun at all, so how can it be used as a reference?

  Aurora also frowned, which she did not consider before, but after only a few seconds, she smiled again. "Then you can try other stars in the distance!"

   "For example, the companion star of Tire star will disappear from time to time, presumably it rotates to the back of Tire star, and is blocked from the sun's light, so we can't see it...

The cycle of the planet's rotation should be extremely stable and regular, but this is not the case. According to my observations, the disappearance time of the companion star is not uniform in a year, and it is fast and slow every month. Variety…"

   This strange astronomical phenomenon once puzzled her, but now she has the answer!

Because in one year, Tire star is at different distances from them in the orbit of the sun. It takes time for the sun’s light to travel to the companion star and reflect back to be seen by them, and it will not arrive immediately. If we know the two stars and The distance of the eternal star may be able to deduce the speed of light!

  After listening to Aurora's narration, Harov was overwhelmed. "You still have a way. It seems that you have won the Silver Moon Medal this year!"

  Whilst talking, Harov couldn't help laughing out loud, this time Lynn might have miscalculated.

  Lin En dared to publicly promise to nominate the Silver Moon Medal for the person who measured the speed of light. He was obviously very confident that they would not be able to find a way to measure the speed of light in just a few days, but the other party obviously underestimated their ability!

   "Just one more question..." Aurora said hesitantly.

   "What's the problem?" Harov asked with a smile.

"The diameters and distances of each planet are still being calculated. At present, we have only calculated how far the sun and the moon are from the eternal star under our feet. It is not yet the turn of Tire..." Aurora said helplessly .

The method they used to measure the diameter and distance of the planet is the three laws of stars and the triangular parallax method given by Lynn. Due to the large size of the planet, the calculated data is incredible, and it is often necessary to repeatedly calculate and confirm. , so the progress is very slow.

"It's been almost a year and you haven't finished the calculation yet?" Harov's expression was very speechless. Isn't that the same as not saying anything? Lynn will conduct verification after this seminar, so how can they have time to wait? Slow to figure it out.

Aurora gave Harov a blank look. They still have to verify the theories put forward by Lynn this year, and draw a detailed star map again. The Tyre star is not very critical, so it is naturally relatively low on the list of.

  In addition, although it is feasible to use this method to measure the speed of light, considering the rotation of the planet itself, there may be some errors, and only approximate values ​​can be estimated.

   "In this case, you can only use stupid methods, such as re-enacting your original experiment. If one kilometer is not enough, then ten kilometers, or even one hundred kilometers!" Harov said firmly.

"In fact, many people are already preparing to do similar experiments. Their ideas are very interesting. Let these people toss." Aurora shook her head. Since someone is helping her to verify, then It's not bad to save a little effort.
