I Made Scientific Magic

Chapter 74 You and I are one step closer to the truth (two in one)

While everyone was watching, the airship began to descend slowly, and soon hovered two to three hundred meters above the square.

All wizards in the square, as well as those townspeople with good eyesight, could see the two spheres hanging from the bottom of the airship.

The diameter of the former is about one meter, and the whole body is made of metal. It is pulled by a thick cowhide rope. The rope is tightly stretched, and it seems that it will break in the next moment.

Although the other ball is the same size, its whole body is red, and it is made of lighter hollow wood. The huge difference in quality between the two can be discerned from the tightness of the cowhide rope.

Lynn waited until the sea breeze that was blowing gradually weakened and the airship really hovered firmly before picking up a red flag and shaking it a few times.

In the airship above, Lydia, who was lying on the edge on a stool, quickly waved the flag to respond...

"It's started!" Lynn said.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two balls suspended at the bottom of the airship.

As another wrench was pulled down by Lydia, the two ropes were immediately snapped... The iron ball and the wooden ball fell at the same time...

"It's the iron ball that's faster, it's the iron ball that's faster!" the young wizard shouted excitedly. The first to fall!

However, the excitement on the wizard's face was stuck on his face in the next second, because after the iron ball fell, it was not as fast as he expected, but kept very close to the wooden ball the distance.

Just now, instead of saying that the iron ball fell faster, it could be explained that the rope binding the iron ball collapsed tighter, which caused the fall to be so fast for an instant, and the slight sea breeze affected the falling of the wooden ball. Such an illusion.

Lynn was not worried from the beginning to the end. Compared with the mass of the two spheres themselves, air resistance and a little breeze are almost negligible. Unless there is a sudden strong wind above level 5, it will not affect the final result. result.

Sure enough, in the fifth second of falling, the height of the wooden ball was still almost the same as that of the iron ball.

"It's impossible, it shouldn't be right!"

The faces of the wizards who saw this scene were full of disbelief, and some even wondered if it was Lin En who secretly cast the [Slow Falling Technique] on the iron ball, which caused such an amazing effect.

Just thinking about it, after more than ten seconds of falling, a huge iron ball weighing two or three tons hit the square directly.

In an instant, the whole square seemed to vibrate. The huge impact made the iron ball deeply embedded in the sand at the moment of falling, and the surrounding quicksand exploded at the moment of falling, like a continuous The grains of sand scatter in all directions like stone rain.

An invisible magic barrier surrounded the center of the square, and the sand and stones hit the barrier with crackling sounds.

Out of trust in the great wizard, not many people paid attention to the flying sand and stones, and they all stared intently at the two spheres in the center of the square.

The huge iron ball had already smashed deeply into the center of the square, and the displaced sand and rocks formed an impact crater with a radius of about three meters, and the surrounding fine sand was still piled up inward.

Under the other wooden ball, the impact crater was only half a meter long, and it was quickly filled with sand and rocks.

Just as Lynn said just now, the two spheres with a mass difference of dozens of times crossed a distance of 300 meters almost at a time, and reached the ground, and the interval was no more than one second...

"Professor Herram, can I confirm it?" the young wizard asked eagerly.

The great wizard didn't answer, but turned to look at Lynn, saw him nodding, and then removed the magic barrier.

The wizard ran over immediately, not minding his ankles sinking into the sand, he squatted down and wrapped his hands around the hollow wooden ball, and lifted it vigorously.

He originally thought that this thing would be very heavy, but the result was exactly the opposite of what he expected, and he just used some strength to hug the wooden ball in his arms.

"It's too light!"

The wizard said in astonishment. He roughly estimated that the wooden ball was only about seventy kilograms, and there was no trace of magic on it.

Could it be that there is a problem with another iron ball?

The unbelieving wizard immediately put down the wooden ball, squatted down and wanted to lift up the one-meter-diameter iron ball, but no matter how hard he exerted himself, he couldn't move it out of the sand, and finally even used [ Mage's Hand], the big iron ball is still motionless.

Hiss~ How heavy is this thing?

The young wizard couldn't help but be speechless, and then he was sure that the other party didn't cut corners.

"If anyone still has doubts, you can go up and confirm." Lynn said indifferently.

With Lynn's approval, wizards and even townspeople who had doubts about this experiment stepped into the sand one after another, using their own hands to test the weight difference between the two spheres.

Adults with a little strength can even lift a wooden ball over their heads, but there is nothing they can do about another iron ball.

In the end, Herram used [Mage Hand] to pull the thing out of the sand, and weighed it in his hand.

"It's about six to seven thousand catties!" Herram pondered for a moment before making a relatively accurate judgment.

Philip, Kevin, Theodore and others looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their hearts. What Lynn said just now that the difference in quality between the two is dozens of times is too conservative. This is already a gap of nearly a hundred times. !

"But, it's so strange, why is it like this?" Luo Er looked at Lin En very puzzled. He didn't care about the three gold coins he lost, but was very surprised by this phenomenon that violated common sense.

He had seen with his own eyes the terrifying destruction caused by the iron ball falling to the ground, but the falling speed of this thing was actually exactly the same as that of a hollow wooden ball.

It's not magic at all!

"Let's just make a hypothesis." Lynn looked at the puzzled eyes in the square, and accentuated his tone. "According to Master Yade's theory, the falling speed of an object is directly proportional to its weight, isn't that true?"

Luo Er and the others nodded, and Lynn changed his voice, pointing to the two spheres and speaking.

"Then if I tie the wooden ball and the iron ball together with a rope and drop them from a high altitude, do you think it will fall faster or slower?"

"Of course it is faster, because the overall weight has increased..." Luo Er replied without thinking.

But in the next second, several wizards retorted. "No... it should be slower! The quality of the wooden ball is much lower than that of the iron ball, and the falling speed is much slower, so it will definitely slow down the falling speed of the iron ball."

"If it takes four seconds for a single iron ball to fall and nine seconds for a wooden ball, then if the two are tied together and fall at the same time, the final landing time should be between four and nine seconds."

Lynn didn't even reply, the wizards of the two factions had already quarreled together, Jonny, Eloque and others were listening, feeling that what both sides said seemed to make sense, but they contradicted themselves...

"The answer is... no change!" Lynn interrupted the quarrel.

"How could there be no change!" Philip scolded, frowning, but he stopped short as soon as he said that, because the falling object test just now proved this point. The falling speed of an object has nothing to do with its weight, and it will fall at the same moment no matter what.

"Mr. Roll, can you give me a blank piece of paper?" Lin En knew that many people present still had doubts, so he looked at Roll and asked.

"Of course." Luo Er took out a sheet of paper from his arms and handed it to Lynn, curious about what he wanted to do.

Lynn turned to look at the townspeople, holding up the paper. "Who can give me a book, as long as it is slightly wider than this paper!"

Amidst the noise, a child contributed the storybook he had with him.

Lin En urged the [Mage's Hand] to send the piece of paper and the storybook to a height of two meters and let them fall together.

The paper slowly floated in the air, and it took four seconds before it fell to the ground, while the storybook fell to the ground in just one second.

"What are you doing?" Philip asked in confusion. Doesn't this phenomenon refute his theory?

Lynn didn't answer, but gently placed the pages on top of the cover of the storybook, and then sent them up into the air again with the cover up, jokingly said. "Come on, guess what, if you drop them at the same time, who will land first?"

"Do you still need to guess? There is no doubt that the paper is floating in the air, and the book is the first to hit the ground!" Philip said firmly.

This time, both factions agree with Philip's point of view, because Lynn didn't tie the two together, so they can't be regarded as a whole.

Then it must be that paper is slow and books are fast!

"Then you have to see clearly next time!" Lynn shook his head and lifted the magic directly.

The next moment, what surprised everyone present was that the page did not float as everyone imagined, but just stuck on the cover of the book, and then fell together.

The whole process only took a short second, and the thin paper and the heavy book fell to the ground at the same time!

The whole square fell into a deathly silence, and they couldn't figure out why this happened.

The reality undoubtedly shattered everyone's intuition again!

Unless... as Lynn said, falling speed has nothing to do with weight!

"Is it eliminating the air resistance?" Herram said thoughtfully, of course he could see that because Lynn pasted the pages on the book, the thin and light paper didn't need to face the air resistance, of course it would Fall together with the book.

The unbelieving Luo Er tried again according to Lynn's method just now, but there was still no change in the result!

Even the wizards who were the most vocal objectors had to consider a problem. Perhaps Master Yade's theory was really wrong!

"Your wisdom is admirable, Master Herram! It is precisely because books instead of paper bear the air resistance that they fall together!" Lynn first boasted to Herram very naturally, and then Looking at the group of wizards who have not recovered from the two falling experiments, he spoke again.

"When I was in the [Secret Society], I once heard a master say that this world is extremely miraculous, and sometimes some phenomena even surpass our cognition, and the process of wizards exploring the truth is like a few blind people trying to By touching a dragon, you can recreate its image in your mind."

"Those who touched the dragon's legs think that the dragon looks like a cylinder, and those who feel the wings think that the dragon is like a disc, which is flat and long... But there is no doubt that all these conclusions are one-sided!"

"Maybe one day, another wizard will stand in this square and use a rigorous and irrefutable experiment to overthrow the law of free fall, but I will never be angry about it. On the contrary, I welcome anyone Question it or prove it over and over again with experiments!"

"Because every mistake is corrected, it means that you and I are one step closer to the truth!"

Lin En's resonant voice continued to echo in the square. After a very brief silence, bursts of thunderous applause resounded.

Tik, Philip and others were not only shocked by the two free fall experiments beyond their imagination, but also admired Lynn's mind.

You must know that the battle of ideas in the wizarding land is no joke. Sometimes the two schools even fight to prove which theory is correct.

But Lin En actually did the opposite, and everyone is welcome to repeatedly verify his theory through experiments. Such a mind is really admirable!

The townspeople present also applauded together. Those knowledgeable people were sincere, but there were also people who were confused. A short halfling looked at Da Da, whose palms were about to slap red. Lun asked in a low voice.

"Did you catch what they were saying, Darren?"

"It's not that simple? Master Yade's theory is wrong, and Your Excellency Lynn's theory is right!" Darren had a disdainful expression on his face, but he was actually very guilty.

He can barely hear the general idea of ​​wind resistance, gravity, etc., but he has no idea why the paper and a book can fall to the ground at the same time, but since those wizards applaud one after another, can he follow suit? wrong!

Amidst the warm applause, the huge airship slowly landed on the sand. The lively halfling girl stepped on a ladder and rolled over from the airship. When she saw that everyone was applauding to welcome her, she narrowed her happy eyes. stand up.

"The first test flight of the Observatory was successful. All the internal devices of the airship are normal. Captain Lydia asked for instructions on the next step!" Lydia trotted all the way to Lynn, saluted pretendingly, and said proudly.

"There is no next step for now, let's get here today!" Lynn replied with a smile.

Lydia immediately got out of the captain's state, and talked about her experience in the sky with great excitement, how she drove the airship into a white cloud, and the mountains in the distance and the sight of The endless sea...

(PS: Today is still 4,000 words in two-in-one. The two experiments mentioned in the article were done by angels before they dared to write. Although they are not as high as 300 meters and not as heavy as an iron ball, the results are the same. Objects with a weight difference of more than ten times will fall to the ground at the same time. As long as the objects have enough mass, the air resistance is almost negligible, not to mention that they are all the same shape and size (don’t use ping-pong balls or feathers to experiment, they are too light) ——Finally, the experiment Find a safe place, never parabolic, let alone taught by me!!)

Thanks for the 1500 starting coins rewarded by book friends, the poor junior, the 500 starting coins rewarded by the poor junior, hold on to my double ponytails, and the 100 starting coins rewarded by the trance leisurely, book friend 160525191505411, and the old watcher. 2 starting coins.
