Lin En's words surprised Phillip and others. They also had... electricity on their bodies?
"Do you have it on me too?" Lidya raised her hands and asked curiously.
"Of course, that's why we can run and jump. To be precise, thunder and lightning exist in all elements."
Linn nodded, took a piece of light paper, tore it into countless small pieces, scattered them on the table, then picked up a glass ball, put it on the palm of his hand and rubbed it vigorously for a dozen times. down, leaning it against the shredded paper.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, the tiny pieces of paper trembled slightly, then flew up and were adsorbed on the glass ball.
Seeing this magical scene, Lydia was the most surprised. She even wondered if it was the effect of magic.
Linn shook his head and said with a smile. "This is frictional electrification. You can also try it. The effect of using glass is very good!"
Hearing this, Lydia immediately picked up a glass rod, followed Linn's example, put her palms on it and rubbed it dozens of times, and sure enough, all the small pieces of paper were absorbed.
"Uncle Darren, I learned magic!" Lydia was so excited that she couldn't describe it. She held the glass rod high and shouted excitedly at the group of halflings who were controlling the airship in the distance.
When Darren and others saw Lidya's results, they were also shocked... Rubbing an object with the palm of your hand can temporarily gain the power to control lightning and absorb the object. For them, This is no different from magic.
Looking at this scene, Linn couldn't help crying or laughing, and couldn't help but recall that famous saying in his mind.
If you don’t understand mathematics, physics and chemistry, life is full of magic...
Jonny, Alok and others started experimenting curiously.
"Professor Linn, what is going on? Why are there adsorption forces on these things? Is it the power of thunder?" Philip couldn't help but asked.
In fact, he was not surprised at all. Compared to those apprentices, he understood how difficult it was to master the power of thunder.
After Lin En said it, it seemed like this thing was everywhere, and even ordinary people like Lydia who didn't know magic could use its power.
"The principle of this is actually very simple. When two objects rub against each other, because the nuclei of different objects have different abilities to bind electrons outside the nucleus, one of the objects must lose some electrons, allowing the other object to gain excess electrons... Also That is to say, the essence of frictional electrification is the transfer of charge..." Lin En said it as concisely as possible.
However, everyone present was confused.
What is this nucleus? What are extranuclear electrons?
Phillip was also confused when he heard it, so he shouldn’t have asked...
"Sir Linn, can anyone master this kind of power? Can halflings also?" Darren asked eagerly.
He also heard Lin En say "Everyone has electricity" just now, but he understood it to mean that everyone can learn lightning magic.
How can this be?
Elok and the others shook their heads with a sneer. In their opinion, it should be a natural law, just like a person will automatically fall to the ground after jumping up.
According to Professor Linn's theory, this is the influence of the planet's gravity. In a sense, the continent under their feet casts the magic of a very powerful force field.
This frictional electricity generation probably has the same principle, so this planet is also a powerful electric wizard?
"I'm afraid it won't work with real magic. If you mean using the power of electricity with the help of some knowledge and equipment like just now, then of course it can." Lin En said in a funny way, drawing a cake path for them. "If you have enough knowledge, you might be able to rely on some instruments to reproduce my electromagnetic railgun. When the power is maximized, it will be comparable to the legendary magic."
Everyone present looked at Lin En with strange expressions. This was too exaggerated.
Lydia even doubted whether the professor was fooling them.
Legendary magic...she didn't even dare to think about it.
Lin En did not explain too much, but flipped the glass ball in his hand and turned on the magic induction, but he could not detect the existence of electric charge at all.
If you think about it carefully, this is normal. Those things are much smaller than atoms and are microscopic particles. If it were really that easy, the wizards would have already discovered electromagnetic magic.
However, the technology of electricity can be highlighted first, and then its application in magic can be slowly studied.
Lin En was thinking secretly. Now that the [Lost Fog] on the sea has lost its original effect, it means that they will always face threats from the Holy See.
The specific time is not certain. It may be two to three months, or it may be half a year. It depends on how long the deterrent effect brought by the Sea of Mist can be maintained.
If the Holy See takes the initiative to send people to investigate, or worse, if a merchant ship strays into the foggy sea, it will be exposed immediately.
As an important port and gateway to the land of wizards, Iyeta Harbor will definitely be a key target.
So you have to prepare early.
Compared with cultivating more wizards, the power of technology is obviously the only way to improve combat readiness in the short term and deal with large-scale wars.
Although magic is magical, a formal wizard needs to go through layers of selection and training for several years or even ten years. Even if he is blessed with protective magic, he may not be able to withstand several rounds of artillery baptism and be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield. It's such a shame, they are better suited as researchers.
Only the great wizards and cardinals can ignore the threats posed by artillery, and even affect the outcome of a war to a certain extent. For these humanoid missiles, electromagnetic cannons may be used to deal with them.
Gunpowder granulation, internal combustion engines, electromagnetic technology... Lin En thought about it and found that there were too many key technologies.
As for those more cutting-edge technologies?
Lin En didn't consider it at all, because it would require the establishment of a complete industrial system first.
And rubber... This thing is very important, but it is not available in the Wizarding Land. I can only think about whether I can use magic to solve the problem of materials science, and then use alchemy to replace some of the complicated work.
The most important issue is education. Workers who are familiar with and have certain knowledge are the basis for establishing an industrial system. However, their time is obviously not enough, and it takes too long to teach from scratch.
The only way is to call back all the graduated wizard apprentices and even official wizards for re-education!
