After Lin En's explanation, the wizards present reacted and looked at the rotating gears in front of them, with horror on their faces.
This gear actually blocked all the light elements that tried to pass through the gaps between the teeth, without exception!
"This is not magic!" Yasos and others shouted in disbelief.
The occurrence of such a strange situation directly proves that the speed of light is not infinite! Otherwise, every light that passes through the gap between the teeth will return instantly, and there will be no possibility of being blocked...
"It's feasible, this method is really feasible!" Glenn murmured to himself.
Just as Linn said, they are already halfway successful. They only need to continue to increase the speed, and the returning light will gradually move backward, crossing the blocking tooth segments and reaching the next tooth gap!
"How fast is the speed now?" Raphael asked eagerly.
"It's twenty-five circles per second!" Lydia reported loudly.
"Keep making it faster, faster!" Raphael shouted loudly.
Lydia glanced at Lin En, and then increased the power of the internal combustion engine again as instructed. The speed of the gears immediately increased to several levels. It can only be described as an exaggeration. A violent noise rang in everyone's ears. .
So much so that Alok and others who were watching were a little worried that this thing would suddenly break.
After accelerating to thirty-five revolutions per second, the light spot still did not appear, but the speed of the gear was close to the limit!
Although Linn asked them and others to reduce the tooth pitch between the gears to 0.5 centimeters, the circumference of the gear itself has reached an astonishing more than seven meters, and it may collapse at any time while maintaining an ultra-high speed!
"Get out of the way, I'll do it!" Harrov strode forward and directly interrupted the power provided by the internal combustion engine, and instead used magic to instantly accelerate the gear to more than forty revolutions!
In order to ensure accuracy, Harrov did not increase too fast, but increased at a balanced speed...
When the rotation speed of the roulette wheel exceeded 52 revolutions per second, every wizard present could clearly see that a conspicuous light spot appeared on the semi-lens again!
This means that the light that passed through the first tooth gap has been reflected back from the second tooth gap!
Just as everyone was cheering, the entire roulette wheel exploded, and the flying shards were like the sharpest knives, flying in all directions!
There were bursts of screams in the crowd. Fortunately, Harrov did not let the experimental accident happen again. These flying roulette fragments were like being plunged into a quagmire. Under the action of the slow barrier, the speed was so high. Slower and slower, and finally hovered directly in the air.
"What was the speed just now? Sir Speaker?" Raphael asked excitedly.
"It's fifty-two revolutions per second!" Harrov said with confidence.
You can never go wrong with this value!
Raphael immediately calculated in his mind.
Seven hundred and twenty teeth multiplied by eight kilometers and then multiplied by fifty-two rotational speeds, that is...
Two hundred and ninety-nine thousand, five hundred and twenty kilometers per second!
When calculating this value, all the wizards had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and they even couldn't help but wonder if they had made a mistake.
This is too fast...
No wonder they couldn't find the trajectory of light no matter how they measured it before.
"Doesn't this mean that light can circle the entire Eternal Star seven and a half times in just one second?" Witch Nancy suddenly realized this.
The circumference of the continent under their feet is only 40,000 kilometers.
"Is this a bit too exaggerated?" Sanchez frowned. It was nearly 300,000 kilometers per second, and within their cognitive scope, there was no difference between it and the instant.
"Only such a fast speed is enough to travel through the vast universe..." Aurora reminded.
For example, the closest point from the sun to the eternal star is about 140 million kilometers, which takes more than eight minutes even at the speed of light!
But in the face of such distance and speed, even legendary wizards like them are as small as dust...
"So what we see every day is the sun a few minutes ago!" Lydia counted on her fingers and suddenly came to a shocking conclusion.
Yolande and other wizards of the prophecy school suddenly thought that they might be able to measure the distance between each planet and themselves through the speed of light. The speed of light is a cosmic-level ruler, which is an excellent reference object that can allow them to Easily calculate various data that were difficult to evaluate in the past.
Of course, this premise is that they need to measure the propagation speed of light in the vacuum of the universe...
While the wizards were shocked by the terrifying speed of light, Linn was thinking about another thing in his mind.
The speed of light in the two worlds is so close...
Lin En was thinking silently in his mind. If the data in his mind were correct, the speed of light measured in his previous life was 299,792 kilometers per second. The difference between the two was very small. It may just be a matter of measurement accuracy that causes the difference...
Does this prove that two worlds exist in the same universe?
This is not impossible. Although there was no such thing as magic in the Federation in the previous life, human beings cannot even fully control the small solar system. Just like the savages living in the desert, they think that the yellow sand all over the ground is It's the whole world.
However, the vastness of the universe is far beyond everyone's imagination. Maybe there is a magical substance called magic, or energy, in a certain galaxy in the universe?
Of course, the similarity between the two worlds is too high, and it is possible that they are the Earth in another parallel universe...
However, these conjectures are obviously not verifiable now. Linn did not spend too much effort on this. Instead, he tried it several times again using gears with different numbers of pitches that had been prepared long ago to verify the validity of this experiment. accuracy.
There was some fluctuation in the final data, with a difference of about a few hundred meters.
The wizards present were extremely satisfied with this result. After all, compared to the huge size of the speed of light, it was not worth mentioning at all.
Some people even speculate that the speed of light is different in different areas like the speed of sound, so the data measured several times will change.
Only Lin En himself was a little dissatisfied. Of course, the more accurate the measurement of the speed of light, the better. However, under the current crude conditions, more accurate instruments will not be available for a while. The only things that can be done are gears and For the eight-sided mirror experiment, these two methods are convenient and easy to use, but slight errors are always inevitable.
