I made science magic

"I knew it would be like this."

Seeing the aircraft falling from the sky, Theodore couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained softly. "Master Hellram shouldn't have indulged her like this..."

Lin En stared at the sky. The huge aircraft was shaking in mid-air, and the direction of its fall was this square.

However, the people gathered in the square did not show any panic on their faces, so Lin En gave up his plan to take action. It seemed that there would be someone dedicated to clean up this mess.

Sure enough, just when the aircraft was about to fall to the ground, several wizards in the square took action, and they all released the slow landing technique, allowing the mid-air aircraft to land smoothly in the center of the square, but the battered wings

It had long since fallen apart, and the camel animal leather covering it had long been blown away by the wind.

"I can really only fly a little bit..."

Jonny watched the aircraft taking off and landing, then turned to look at Linn, very curious as to how he knew so clearly.

"Relying on steam as power alone is not enough to maintain flight, and the design of the entire body is not very aerodynamic... falling is inevitable." Lin En shook his head and replied softly. He naturally saw it at a glance.

The problem with this aircraft.

However, this halfling girl named Lydia was able to use such simple materials to make this aircraft and make it run. This is definitely an engineering genius.

It is also a good idea to imitate the flapping of the wings of birds to provide lift, but it is too taken for granted. It only stays on the most basic morphological learning, only knowing it but not knowing why.

In general...history has proven that there is no future in building steam airplanes. They lack power and cannot fly high or far...

"You mean, by changing the power source and redesigning the structure, this... um... aircraft can fly freely in the sky without relying on the power of magic at all?"

While the two were chatting, a gentle voice sounded from behind them.

Lin turned around and looked over, and found that the person speaking was an old man wearing a black robe and a dome hat. He looked about sixty or seventy years old. His beard was trimmed very neatly, and there was an inexplicable glimmer in his pupils.

.

Theodore quickly bowed and saluted when he saw the man. "Master Herram!"

The person coming is none other than the controller of Iyeta Harbor, Herram!

As an extremely noble wizard, the other party was so plainly dressed that even the residents of Harbor Town around him could not recognize him immediately.

"It's a great honor to meet you, Lord Herram." Linn bowed his head and saluted, expressing respect for the great wizard according to the custom here. Then he did not directly answer the other party's question, but asked instead.

"Alchemy ships that also use steam as power can still sail on the sea without relying on magic? Why can't they fly?"

Hellram raised his eyebrows, finding this question very interesting. Theodore beside him spoke impatiently.

"Who told you that those alchemy ships have nothing to do with magic? It seems that your alchemy skills must not be very good..."

While talking, Theodore introduced the two methods of operating the alchemy ship to Linn, a foreign bumpkin.

Either a formal wizard is responsible for controlling the alchemy machine, or magic stones are used as energy to activate the corresponding alchemy circle.

Does that mean that magic is used to create steam? Lin En felt ashamed. He really didn't expect that those alchemy ships were not fired by coal.

Is this the legendary 100 kilometers that consumes a wizard's magic power?

Hellram glanced at Linn in surprise. More than 20 years ago, when the steam engine was first created, it did not need to consume any magic power. After that, it was just more convenient to use magic stones as energy.

In fact, the steam engine Lydia installed on the aircraft did not use any magic, but there are few new generation wizards in Ietta Harbor who are willing to study the basic principles of these alchemical formulas.

"Master Hellram~"

While several people were chatting, Lydia had already escaped from the deformed cabin with the help of a group of halflings. A hole was torn on the sleeve of her robe, but the girl didn't care and hurriedly

He ran up to Hellram and asked with great anticipation.

"Am I successful? I really flew just now. You should have seen it, right?"

"This can't be considered a success. It can only be said that..." Hellram paused and jokingly repeated Linn's words. "It flew a little!"

Lidya's little face immediately collapsed, like an ostrich that had lost a fight, and then she quickly said that she had made great progress this time, and as long as she made a few more changes, this thing would definitely be successful.

Flying.

Hellram listened patiently to Lydia's story and complaints, and then turned to look at Linn and others.

"It seems that you have something to talk to me about. So, Theodore, you take a few guests to the college first. I will be there in a while!"

Theodore nodded. This was indeed not the place to talk, but before he could turn around and leave, Hellram's voice rang out again.

"Besides, Theodore, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can tell me in person."

Obviously, Herram not only heard Linn's comments about the aircraft, but also heard the other party's complaints.

"No, Master, what I mean is that Lydia is doing flight experiments in the square. This is too dangerous. If an accident occurs, not only will the townspeople be easily injured, but... and..." Theodore's

His expression suddenly paused, and he hurriedly explained, but Hellram waved his hand and interrupted his words.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I will arrange a magic barrier next time. Your consideration is not entirely unreasonable."

As the aircraft fell to the ground, the "farce" in the square ended. The townspeople who had satisfied their novel desires gradually dispersed amidst a burst of noise and gossip.

Theodore was quite depressed and took a few people to the nearby Iyeta Magic Academy.

It is a huge building complex standing in the center of the city, with towering spires, thick black walls, and the most conspicuous landmark building that can be seen even from outside the harbor - [The Screaming Tower]

…

"Is it so difficult to become a wizard apprentice in Ieta Harbor?"

Stepping into the gate of the academy, Lin En thought about the flight experiment he had just seen, and couldn't help but ask.

He had heard it before, and it seemed that the girl named Lydia had to complete this experiment in order to be qualified to join the Magic Academy. This seemed to be a bit too difficult.

Doesn’t everyone need to go through such trouble to get into school?

"No, that's just a test for Lydia." Theodore explained. "Master Hellram also has good intentions. None of these halflings have any magical talent. Letting her enter the academy is a complete waste of time.
