I Made Scientific Magic

  Chapter 323 Lynn: I only need a small gear to measure the speed of light!

  Glenn's beam measurement experiment, although ultimately failed miserably, pushed the wizards' curiosity about the speed of light to another climax.

  Because the results of the experiment shocked them too much, and the terrifying power of condensing the strong light into beams also made every wizard talk about it.

   It is foreseeable that optics will become the research direction of many wizards in the future.

   However, regarding the measurement of the speed of light, the wizards are divided into two camps. Some people insist that the speed of light is infinite. After all, they can see the sun and the moon that are so far away from here at a glance.

   Measuring the speed of light is nonsense!

  Another group of people think that the speed of light is limited, because all things have that limit, and the 'light element' is no exception, but they can't think of continuing the experiment like this.

For light, even a distance of 100 kilometers is instantaneous. If this thing has a speed, it must exceed 10,000 kilometers per second. The circumference of the Eternal Star is only more than 40,000 kilometers!

   "Could it be possible to carry out experiments at both ends of the planet?" This idea came to Sanchez's mind. In this way, the venue is big enough, so how should they get there?

   "Idiot, this planet is round, and the light travels in a straight line. It will either be blocked or fly into the universe, but it can't reach the other side." Raphael said with a sneer.

   "Then what else do you say?" Sanchez asked angrily.

  Raphael opened his mouth, then shook his head helplessly. "How do I know that?"

This magic star has so many ideas. Before the magic seminar last year, who would have thought that just by setting up an icicle on the sea and measuring the length of the shadow, the circumference of the entire planet could be calculated? Length and volume…

  So Raphael can't guess what new and wonderful ideas the other party can come up with this time...

  Curiosity is curiosity, this year's magic seminar will continue. After three days, there are three winners of the Morning Star Medal.

  Glenn who made the spotlight magic, Fulla who represented Anthony on stage to explain the theory of electromagnetism, and...

  Yurland, who made a simple microscope... This sorcerer of the prophecy school was speechless after being refuted by Lynn at last year's seminar, so he learned from the pain and devoted himself to the research work.

   While using the astronomical telescope to observe distant stars, Yolande made some improvements to the thing on a whim, and successfully made the microscope.

Although the two confronted each other at a seminar a year ago, Lin En didn't take this small conflict to heart. It was nothing more than an academic dispute. No matter how fierce the quarrel was, it was normal. To disgust himself by means, Lynn was very generous in nominating Yolande for the Morning Star Medal.

  This kind of magnanimity made Yolande feel ashamed.

He was already prepared to be targeted this time, and even wrote tens of thousands of words of speech in advance to explain the importance of this research, but he didn't expect that it would not be needed at all. Lynn was the first to propose it to him. Judges who award the Morning Star.

In the past few days of working together, Rafael kept making side-talks, hoping that Lynn could reveal some details, but the latter refused to go back... He could only mutter to himself, maybe Sanchez's guess is That's right, this magic star was not fully sure about the experiment, so he kept it secret.

  Lin En didn't pay attention to the various rumors that were spreading wildly in the Wizard's Land, and after returning to the lounge of the Iyeta School, he called Ai Locke and others over and asked about their preparations.

   "Principal Lynn, the gears you made us have already finished!" Ai Luoke and Pierce said wearily.

It took them three days to manufacture ten gears of the same size, ranging from 500 teeth to 1,200 teeth, and according to the instructions of the dean, the precision must be ensured, and the distance between each tooth gap is exactly the same. , the accuracy can reach one thousandth of a centimeter.

  Only official wizards can do such fine work, which is why Lynn brought them here on purpose—after all, someone has to be responsible for the work!

   And Lydia and Johnny are responsible for the production of half mirrors and mirrors, which are now completed.

   "Very good, it seems that the experiment can start tonight!" Lin En checked the various experimental supplies and nodded in satisfaction.

  Ai Luoke and others are extremely strange. What did the Dean ask them to make so many gears?

   "Are we going to use these things to measure the speed of light?" Lydia asked, raising her hand.

   "Yes, gears are enough!" Lynn nodded.

  …

  At night, in the city of Greenriel, the wizards who received the news and came to watch the experiment crowded the entire square.

   With the title of Magic Star, coupled with the speed of light measurement experiment, no one wants to miss such a grand occasion.

"Master Lynn, we've been waiting for quite a few days. You won't be keeping it up now, are you?" Raphael said helplessly. The experiment was carried out, and the result was that I thought about it and didn't have any ideas.

   "My method is very simple, and everything I need is here!" Lynn said with a smile.

Raphael and the others looked curiously at the experimental device in front of Lynn. The most conspicuous thing was naturally the strange-looking alchemy instrument. After Lynn explained, they realized that this thing was used to emit light beams. The principle and Glenn's spotlight magic is about the same.

  And a reflector was placed on the city wall of the DC area, just four kilometers away from this square...

   "Isn't this the mirror that Glenn made a few days ago to measure the speed of light?"

  Nancy muttered softly, and all the wizards present nodded in unison,

You must know that Glenn used a hundred mirrors to create a range of one hundred kilometers, but in the end it still ended in failure. Although the mirror set by Lynn passed through more than half of Greenriel City, even counting the round-trip The distance is only eight kilometers, less than one-tenth.

   It is impossible to measure the speed of light!

   "So we need to add this!" Lynn pointed to the thing in Eloch's hand. "This is the most critical part of this experiment!"

   "Gear?" Raphael recognized it at a glance. This thing is no stranger to alchemists. It existed in the steam engine made by the Alchemy Society before.

  What does this have to do with the measurement of the speed of light?
