Chapter 506 Gravity Perpetual Motion and Optical Photography

In September, the cool autumn wind slowly blows away the heat of summer.

After several months of fighting, the entire eastern, central and southern regions of the empire have been occupied. According to the most optimistic estimates of the Parliament, the war against the empire will be completely over in two months at most.

At the same time, the railway tracks were also repaired section by section, like a large criss-crossing network, covering every major city in the eastern region, and will expand to the entire empire in the future, which also facilitated the holding of this academic seminar.

.

A magic train full of passengers drove out of the unbuilt platform with a loud whistle and headed towards the royal capital at an extremely fast speed!

The rolling wheels kept running over the rails, making a rumbling sound, and the carriages were shaking faintly, but this sense of novelty was enough to make people ignore these slight discomforts.

The middle-aged wizard Sean, who had just sat down with his apprentice, saw the dense bushes outside the window quickly disappearing from the field of vision, and couldn't help but sigh. "What an amazing alchemical creation..."

The train under them is more than seventy meters long, can carry nearly a thousand people, and travels at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.

It is said that it only takes nine hours to get from the middle of the empire to the capital of the Magic Kingdom!

This also includes the time spent stopping in other cities along the way, which can only be described as incredible.

"Teacher, do you think the night in the Royal Capital can really be as bright as the day?" The apprentice who was sitting next to Sean, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, couldn't help but ask.

They had been in the empire before, but they had heard a lot of things about the Magic Kingdom from the caravans coming and going.

According to the accounts of those traveling merchants, the royal capital is almost like a paradise on earth. Food is made with magic. Even the common people wear exquisite clothes. There are all kinds of novel alchemical creations in sight. Traveling by car is not a carriage, but a driving one.

Plant a giant steel beast that spits smoke from its back...

In comparison, the imperial city they were in was simply a cesspit, even the Holy City before its collapse was no exception. Apart from the floor space, everything else was far inferior.

"Of course." Sean smiled and explained, "I heard that it was the work of Speaker Lynn, the Magic Star. It bound the powerful power of thunder into a light bulb and used electricity to create light..."

The young apprentice fantasized about such a scene. Suddenly, the sky suddenly darkened - the train entered a long and dark tunnel. At the speed of the train, it took more than ten seconds to rebuild the sky.

day.

Such a strong change in light and darkness surprised the wizards in the carriage. Sean, who was leaning against the window, curiously looked through the window. Behind him was a huge mountain!

"It's the Peak of Despair, Dispiel!" Sean quickly identified it. This is the second tallest mountain in the empire, and it got its name because of its steepness.

This train actually passed directly through the mountain. No wonder the surroundings suddenly felt dark.

Under Sean's gaze, there was a huge tunnel running through the front and back of the mountain, which looked quite spectacular.

He remembered that the Kingdom's musketeers had only arrived here three months ago. What kind of power could hollow out an entire mountain in such a short period of time?

Hundreds of wizards in the carriage were also talking about it, and one of them, a gorgeously dressed witch, said proudly. "The one who created this tunnel is the Sun Flame Cannon. It is one of the greatest alchemical creations currently in the Parliament. It only took one

One strike will blow through the mountain!"

Did Sean and the others look astonished as they blasted through the Peak of Despair with one blow?

So what kind of powerful force can do such an exaggerated thing?

Many wizards also questioned it, thinking that this must be hearsay and exaggerated. Maybe it was dug out bit by bit by the great wizards using magic.

The witch curled her lips and did not continue. A peak of despair was nothing. The entire holy city was destroyed in the battle between the Speakers and the false god.

This Sunfire Cannon was originally used to deal with the remaining legions of the empire, but as a result, the nobles performed worse than the others, and the battle collapsed at the first touch, so there was no need for this powerful weapon.

On the contrary, we encountered a lot of troubles when building roads, especially in the central region of the empire, which is full of high mountains. If we build roads in a detour, it will undoubtedly be time-consuming and laborious.

So Speaker Vittorio suddenly had a whim and directly used the idle Sun Flame Cannon to build roads. One shot can be said to be a huge blow to the mountains and destroy the forests. It is not easy to use!

Sean did not have the slightest doubt about the words of this witch, because he had heard that the legendary wizards of the kingdom used a powerful magic to create a land of death that spread for more than ten kilometers, which was obviously more exaggerated.

The nine-hour journey was not too far away. After the excitement of riding the train for the first time gradually subsided, the train slowly stopped at the platform of the royal capital.

It's already evening!

The witch who spoke before stood up and walked out of the train first, and then the others followed.

Sean did not act immediately, but took out the best blue robe from his suitcase and put it on. Then he took a deep breath and stepped out of the train with his assistant and apprentice.

"Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!"

A loud and enthusiastic voice rang in everyone's ears, and the one who spoke was naturally Theodore, who was responsible for welcoming the train. He was holding a long list in his hand, confirming each person's name one by one, and then guided

Follow them to the ride location.

"Please come this way gentlemen!"

Sean was walking among the crowds, holding his suitcase tightly with one hand, which contained his life's research results and the purpose of attending the academic seminar.

The young apprentice beside him was looking around. Everything in this city was novel to him.

He saw the beautifully decorated train platform, the wide, clean and slightly crowded bustling streets, the strange and fast alchemy cars that shuttled on the road, the alchemy workshop with billowing smoke...even the bricks on the platform under his feet.

The stone is as smooth as a mirror, and when you step on it, you can't help but feel a sense of guilt for destroying the work of art.

Before the afterglow of the sunset completely set, bright lights lit up from the tops of the pillars erected on both sides of the street, dispelling the coming darkness in advance...

Inside the oval-shaped lamp is a filament that has been heated to the point of appearing incandescent, which vividly demonstrates what it means to trap lightning in a light bulb.

In my ears, the soothing singing sounds came from nowhere, and the melodious tune seemed to contain some kind of special rhythm, which made people intoxicated.

"Who is playing music here?" an alchemist asked curiously. There was no band playing music at all nearby.

"Haha, this is the music played by the wind, played by magic!" Theodore explained with a smile.

In view of the fact that the holy city of the church is resounding with loud hymns all day long, the capital of this kingdom, as the face of the parliament, certainly cannot be at a disadvantage in this respect!

There is nothing strange about it. The so-called sound is the sound wave generated by the vibration of an object. Combined with Dean Linn's resonance principle, as long as a special harp is placed on the statues all over the kingdom, and a spell is played to play one side, the sound

It will spontaneously resound throughout every part of the royal capital.

And this magic track that covers the entire kingdom is naturally the masterpiece of the Wave School!

As Theodore explained, he led everyone into the alchemy cars that had been prepared and headed to the Magic Research Institute.

It was already around seven o'clock in the evening when they arrived together.

Sean stepped into the exhibition hall with excitement. The place was unexpectedly large, with rows of seats arranged in a circular fashion and in the form of stairs. Hundreds of magic lights overhead illuminated the interior like daylight.

They were obviously the last group to arrive. Tens of thousands of wizards had already gathered in the huge exhibition hall, exchanging and talking about their insights and research in various fields of magic.

However, it was not all so harmonious. Disputes and curses broke out one after another. Fortunately, no one dared to take action in this exhibition hall.

The extremely restrained Sean had no intention of participating in the discussion. He took his apprentice with him and sat down on the outside, listening to the discussions of the wizards around him.

This year's academic seminar seems to be particularly grand. It is no longer hosted by the great wizards as in the past. Several legendary speakers are all present, which shows the importance they attach to it.

Sean immediately turned his attention to the speaker's seat. This was the first time he saw the true faces of the legendary speakers at the top of magic. The figure in the center was particularly conspicuous.

Sean understood that it should be Speaker Lynn, the magic star whose fame spread throughout the empire and made the church fearful.

Just as he was thinking about it, the particularly young speaker looked over, cleared his throat and said.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

The extremely loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire exhibition hall, carrying an unquestionable majesty and oppression, and the noise and disputes came to an abrupt end in an instant.

In just one second, the huge exhibition hall was filled with only the echoes that kept ringing.

In total, this is the second time Lin En has served as a judge. Naturally, he is very familiar with various processes. After briefly saying some polite words and welcoming the many wizards who came from afar, he announced this.

The magic seminar officially begins!

Under the gaze of everyone, an old wizard led several apprentices to carry a transparent box into the exhibition hall.

There is a very delicate device placed inside the box. The main body is a huge gear with a diameter of about three meters. Each tooth section is made into the shape of a slope. There are forty movable short rods installed inside. One end of each short rod

Both are equipped with an iron ball with a mass of 20 kilograms, which is moving outward along the spokes of the runner.

"This is the result of my research, a vacuum gravity perpetual motion machine!" The old wizard who came on stage proudly introduced his great invention to everyone!

Nowadays, there are many power devices in the magic world, such as steam engines and improved internal combustion engines, but without exception they all consume energy.

So he has been thinking about whether he can find a way to continuously output power without adding any fuel!

So this perpetual motion machine was born. It uses the gravity of the planet itself and uses an asymmetric frame structure, which causes the gravity of objects on both sides of the frame to deviate. The heavier side pulls the lighter side, producing repeated mechanical motion.

.

In order to eliminate the influence of external forces as much as possible, he also specifically begged a great wizard to remove the elements inside the device so that the instrument could continue to operate!

Looking at this strange perpetual motion machine in front of them, the wizards present were also quite interested.

Although the output power of this thing is limited now, what if it is amplified a hundred times or even a thousand times?

The power generated might be enough to power an entire city!

Lin En, who was sitting in the judge's seat, rolled his eyes.

Good guy, even the perpetual motion machine is out!

To put it bluntly, this thing is the same as Foucault's pendulum that proved the rotation of the planet.

Foucault's pendulum was indeed able to theoretically achieve 'perpetual motion' with the help of the influence of gravity when placed in a vacuum without any interference.

But this perpetual motion machine is obviously still far away, and the biggest problem with this thing is that it cannot output much power at all, and its efficiency is far inferior to that of water, wind and solar power.

If this can be regarded as a perpetual motion machine, then wouldn’t the waterwheel running with the help of water flow also become a perpetual motion machine?

In a few words, Lin En pointed out the shortcomings of this 'perpetual motion' device one by one.

Sean and others also noticed at this time that the transformation speed of this perpetual motion machine was gradually slowing down. The great wizards even roughly estimated that this thing would stop on its own in up to two days. Obviously, it was still far from the term "perpetual motion".

far away.

On the contrary, Vittorio tried to smooth things over, saying that the idea of ​​using the planet's gravity to provide continuous power was very innovative, but this perpetual motion machine did not have much practical value.

Under the "picking" from everyone, the originally confident old wizard blushed for a while, and kept saying that his perpetual motion machine had great potential, but it still needed to be improved. When he finally stepped down, his face was filled with tears.

It was a look of indignation. It was obvious that his 'great invention' was not taken seriously, which made him quite angry.

Immediately afterwards, Glenn came to the stage with his new camera and demonstrated it to everyone. With a burst of flash, under the influence of magic, an extremely clear black and white photo was quickly presented.

in front of everyone.

This alchemical instrument that can imprint reality on a 'painting' immediately aroused the interest of many people. When the newspaper published it before, they were surprised by the vivid pictures above. Now they finally understood it after Glenn's explanation.

The principles therein.

"Is the small hole imaging? What a good idea..." Aurora said with a smile.

There are many people who know about this natural phenomenon, and the wizards of the light particle theory regard it as one of the most direct evidences that light propagates in a straight line, but Glenn is indeed the first to think of utilizing this phenomenon.

For this new invention, Lin En and others unanimously spoke highly of it, and immediately decided to award it with a Morning Star Medal in recognition of its achievements...
