A few days passed in a blink of an eye. With [Magic Daily] sparing no effort in publicizing, the news about the pendulum experiment at the seminar and Linn's plan to measure the circumference of the planet under his feet in mid-July quickly spread throughout the world. The whole land of wizards.
This explosive news shocked countless civilians and wizards. In the past, no one thought that they could actually measure the continent and ocean that they were too lazy to survive.
After all, the sea is too vast. Before this, many people thought that this world has no end!
But Lin En was doing something that everyone thought was impossible, and he came up with a logically feasible method, and even used experiments to prove his planet theory!
So in a very short period of time, Lin En, the Arcane Society, and his method of determining the circumference of the planet immediately became the hottest topics in the wizarding land. Even the farmers who cultivated the fields had to talk when they got together to chat. Mention a few sentences to show your knowledge.
However, the flat-earth theory has been rooted in the land of wizards for too long. That simple, straightforward, self-centered theory still has many supporters. These people firmly believe that the continent under their feet can never be round. Yes, these are all magic tricks done by the wizard from beyond the fog!
But whether they agreed or opposed, they all rushed towards Greenriel, ready to witness this historic scene!
Kevin and Orlando, who had received Philip's invitation early, also arrived at Greenriel in a carriage, along with Darren and other halflings.
"Look, look at that pendulum!" As soon as Darren entered the city, he saw the huge, constantly swinging iron ball placed in the center of the city.
It was the pendulum pointer that the master architect Raphael, with the permission of the Parliament and the authorization of Lynn, carved out one-to-one. Even the sand table and the graduated disk below were exactly the same.
The only change is that the extremely ambitious Raphael did not erect a wooden stick on the sand table as a pointer, because he was ready to create a great art that could last forever!
In order to create this miracle, more than a dozen alchemist masters stayed up all night and spent three whole days to set up a huge alchemy formation under the sand table, extracting all the elements in the nearby space to form a Vacuum field.
In this way, without the influence of air resistance, theoretically, the pendulum can continue to move like this under the combined action of gravity and geostrophic deflection force.
Every wizard who walks into Greenlear can't help but sigh when he sees this iron ball that can swing back and forth and even deflect without any external force. This is simply a miracle in the history of magic!
"How long is it until twelve o'clock noon?" Raphael looked at the sky, the scorching sun was already hanging high above his head, and asked for the seventh time.
"Only the last fifteen minutes are left!" The apprentices next to them also looked at the magic clock nervously with excited expressions.
Such scenes were staged in every corner of Greenriel, and everyone was looking forward to it. Those wizards who did not have money to buy the magic clock were all staring at the sundial, anxiously waiting for the last moment to arrive.
At the same time, an airship was speeding across the wide sea.
As early as 11:45 at noon the day before yesterday, the airship had already set off from Greenriel. Under the attention of countless people, it began its voyage. It has been sailing at sea for two days, which is a full seven hundred and twenty-two days. ten kilometers!
Linn had to sigh that this sea area was so vast that it was 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 it returns, Harrov also used magic to erect a stone pillar on an island midway, and left a wizard to record the data, while the rest Others continued to cross the sea in airships.
"It should be almost time, right?" Harrov glanced at the magic clock placed in the cockpit. There was now less than fifteen minutes left before twelve o'clock noon.
Linn nodded and looked at the halfling girl in charge of driving the airship. "Okay, Lydia, let's stop here!"
"The Overlook has arrived at the designated location. The total sailing time is forty-eight hours. It is now starting to land!" Lydia gave Lin En the courtesy of a ship, and then jogged all the way to turn off the alchemy steam engine that drove the propeller. , then deflate the auxiliary airbag to lower the height.
The halfling girl had two dark circles under her eyes due to the excitement of her first voyage, but she was very excited and didn't look tired at all.
Harrov didn't even wait for the airship to stop and land, so he couldn't wait to fly down, and landed very smoothly on the sea under the influence of the slow landing technique.
The wind and waves on the sea were very strong, and the turbulent waves jumped high and rolled towards Harrov.
But the next moment, there was a strong wave of magic power in Harrov's body, and time seemed to be suddenly stopped. The waves that swept over him were instantly condensed into an ice sculpture.
Immediately afterwards, this force quickly extended towards the wide sea. Wherever it passed, the churning waves were frozen into thick ice. In an instant, the entire sea surface had become a huge floating ice island.
At this moment, the airship slowly fell from the sky.
The few people who stepped off the pod saw a strange scene caused by the instant freeze of the sea surface. It was like a beautiful ice painting, with the surging sea water and jumping waves all turned into sculptures and preserved. down.
However, Harrov obviously had no time to appreciate any art. With a wave of 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 long?" Harrov shouted.
"One minute, the last minute! There are still fifty-three seconds left!" Lydia hugged the magic clock and shouted loudly.
At this moment, no matter whether they were on this floating island or Greenrial, everyone looked up at the sun, feeling that this minute had passed so long.
With ten seconds left, Linn took out the string and handed the other end to Harrov, preparing to measure the length of the icicle's shadow.
The transparent icicles sparkle with a strange brilliance under the sunlight.
As the editor of the Magic Daily, Rolle was fortunate enough to be qualified to ride an airship. He was standing on the ice with a crazy look on his face. His right hand holding the quill shook rapidly on the paper, drawing the wide floating ice island, towering icicles, The landing airship and Lynn and Harrov using ropes to measure the length of the shadow were all drawn on parchment...
