I made science magic

Chapter 318 It seems that Master Lin En is going to miscalculate this time!

While the wizards of Greenrial City were studying methods to measure the speed of light, a conversation was also going on in the manor of the legendary Speaker Harroof.

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

After listening to Aurora's story, Harrov couldn't help but frowned. Linn's words were undoubtedly a provocation to the entire wizarding land.

It is also a huge disrespect for 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 think he doesn't just mean the land of wizards. The magic theories developed by the [Arcane Society] are no exception. They all appear extremely crude in the face of optics..." Aurora explained, and at the same time

I recalled what Lynn said at the meeting.

Optics is the most important key to revealing the microscopic real world...

What exactly does this real world refer to?

Is it possible that the world they see now is false?

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

Harrov was also lost in thought. It can be seen from previous contacts and various novel theories proposed by Linn that the [Arcane Society] has a far deeper understanding of magic and the world than they do.

If these words are not intended to be sarcastic and arrogant, then it is worth exploring what kind of secrets the ubiquitous light contains, so that it can actually deserve such an evaluation...

Harrov really wanted to attend another gathering of legendary wizards and ask questions face to face, but until now he has not received another invitation.

Although Harov, who possesses the [Ring of Secret Magic], also has the right to organize other people to hold meetings, this seems to be too eager. The most important thing is that he has not yet figured out the Big Bang Theory, nor has he been able to study it and come up with it.

A novel theory for legends to explore.

Thinking of this, Harrov vaguely understood why the gathering of legendary wizards has not been held yet. It is normal for a magic research to take seven or eight years, or even more than ten years to produce some results. The Wizarding Land holds a meeting once a year.

Academic seminars are already considered frequent.

"It seems that we must pay more attention to the research of optics." Harrov's expression became extremely solemn, and then he looked at Aurora and asked curiously. "Do you have a way to 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 thoughtfully.

What's the most difficult thing about measuring the speed of light? Of course, the speed of light is incredibly fast, and they can't find a large enough venue to conduct experiments, and it's difficult to create light strong enough to span thousands of kilometers.

As for the vastness of the distance, of course it has to be the universe and the starry sky!

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 huge luminous body. As long as they know the distance between the two sides,

Wouldn’t it be possible to measure the speed of light?

"This method is good!" Harrov said in admiration, but soon he seemed to have thought of something and interrupted quickly. "No, no, the moment we see the sun, the light has already arrived.

, there is simply no way to measure the speed of light."

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

Aurora also frowned, which she had not considered before, but just a few seconds later, 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. It seems that it has rotated to the back of Tire star and blocked the sun's light, so we can't see it...

The rotation cycle of the planet should be extremely stable and regular, but this is not the case. According to my observations, the companion stars disappear at different times in a year, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and they disappear every month.

change……"

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

Because Tire's star is at different distances from them in its orbit around the sun during the year, it takes time for the sun's light to travel to the companion star and then reflect back to be seen by them, and it will not arrive immediately. If we know the distance between the two stars and

The distance of the Eternal Star may be able to deduce the speed of light!

After listening to Aurora's story, Harrov was impressed. "You still have a way. It seems that you have decided on the Silver Moon Medal this year!"

As he said this, Harrov couldn't help laughing. This time, Linn was probably going to make a miscalculation.

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

"There's just one more question..." Aurora said hesitantly.

"What's the problem?" Harrov 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 at our feet. It is not the turn of the Tyr star yet..." Aurora was quite helpless.

said.

The methods they used to measure the diameter and distance of the planet were the three laws of stars and the trigonometric parallax method given by Lin En. Due to the large size of the planet, the calculated data was incredible, and they often had to perform repeated calculations to confirm.

, so the progress is very slow.

"It's been almost a year and you haven't finished yet?" Harrov's expression was very speechless. That's not the same as not saying anything. Lin En will conduct verification after this seminar. How can they have time to wait?

Calculate it slowly.

Aurora rolled her eyes at Harrov. They still had to verify the theories proposed by Lin En this year and redraw a detailed star map. Tier was not very important, so it was naturally lower 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.

"So we can only use stupid methods, such as re-enacting your original experiment. If one kilometer is not enough, then ten kilometers, or even a hundred kilometers!" Harrov said decisively.

"In fact, many people are already preparing to do similar experiments. Their ideas are very interesting, so let's let these people do it." Aurora shook her head. Since someone was helping her verify it, then

It would be nice to save a little effort.
