"It's unbelievable that this thing actually flew!"
If the flying airship is particularly surprising to the wizard, it is shocking to the townspeople around!
Because Lydia and all of them know each other. She is a noisy halfling who always likes to play tricks on strange things.
The most important thing is that she, like all ordinary townspeople present, does not know magic at all.
Now, Lydia is in front of them, driving something bigger than a house, flying straight into the sky, and doing something that even many wizard adults can't do!
"Dad, can I fly to the sky in the future?" The boy who just climbed onto the sculpture and touched the airship looked at the man in the gray robe and asked excitedly.
"What are you thinking about? I'm sure which wizard has secretly applied magic on the airship..." The grey robed man doesn't believe that a halfling can fly by his own power at all. In the land of wizards, all miracles belong to magic power.
"Who said it was magic?" Darren was not happy when he heard this, and he was angry and corrected. "I guarantee that every part of this airship is made by us halflings, without any magic!"
"When Lydia comes down from the sky, you can also go to the airship to have a look..."
"As long as you pay ten silver coins, anyone can take an airship to glide around in the sky. Lord Lynn said that this thing can fly very high, even higher than many clouds. If you have the chance, you may be able to touch the clouds in the sky." Darren said proudly.
Can fly higher than clouds?
The children in the square could not help looking up at the sky, looking at the giant airship that was getting farther and farther away from them, and imagining how it would feel to touch the cloud. It was so white, and it must be as soft as sheep's hair, right?
The rest of the townspeople are also interested. Such a huge gold smelting machine must be expensive. Only ten silver coins can fly up to the sky and walk around. It seems that it is not very expensive
You know it's the sky!
At the same time, hundreds of meters high above the ground, Lydia was standing on a special chair, looking down, looking at the dense crowd in the square farther and farther away from her, becoming small dots, and finally the whole picture of the harbor city was presented in front of her.
Everything was so small, just like those wooden models she put in the workshop, as if she could crush them with one foot.
"Is this the feeling of flying into the sky? It's so wonderful!" Lydia looked around and looked excitedly at the mountains and the vast sea in the distance.
Although she also ascended to the sky in a simple aircraft more than ten days ago, she was only a few tens of meters high and did not dare to wander at all.
Now, without her control, the airship can float in the air spontaneously, and she can do anything she wants to do here.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the originally stable airship shook slightly in the wind.
People who fly to the sky for the first time often feel a kind of fear for no reason, but Lydia is not afraid at all. Instead, she has the courage to climb to the edge of the airship, spread her arms, face the strong wind, and let out her excitement.
It was not until she saw a white cloud floating near the airship that Lydia jumped down and sat back on the seat with a bold idea in her heart, holding the rudder, and drove the airship directly towards the clouds!
The huge airship hit the clouds head-on and passed through them. Lydia's eyes were covered with white. Her cheeks and arms were wet. It felt like she was standing on the beach and being blown by the melodious sea breeze.
"This must be a happy cloud!" Lydia said with a smile.
But at the same time, the halfling girl did not forget the task Lynn had given her. After taking a walk in the airship, she hung up over the square again, and then pulled the wrench beside her.
The plank at the bottom of the airship immediately bounced off, and two balls with a mass difference of dozens of times fell from the cabin. However, due to the restriction of the rope, they hovered in the air again, constantly swaying from side to side, pulling the airship slightly tilted.
Then the halfling girl pulled the alchemy eyepiece in front of her, stuck out her head and waited for Lynn's gesture and order.
This eyepiece is the only magic item she carries. It has solidified a farsighted magic, which can make her eyes as sharp as griffins, and can clearly see Professor Lynn in the crowd from a distance of 2000 meters.
……
"It seems that the next issue of Magic Weekly will sell well!"
Ten minutes ago, Raoul, who was located on the square, drew the picture with satisfaction, and added his own feelings to the bottom. He had a general expectation of the sales volume of the newspaper.
Lynn took a closer look. Three pictures were drawn on the papyrus, namely, Lydia boarded the airship, cut the rope and flew to the sky.
Although time is limited and only a few outlines have been drawn, the picture is lifelike. The sketch technology is no different from the human shaped printer. No wonder the other party can become the commissioner of Magic Weekly.
After such a delay, the airship has already flown high into the sky, which looks like a small dot from this side.
"This is too high!" Theodore looked up in amazement at the airship that was still climbing in the air. At first, he thought that even if this thing could fly up to a height of several hundred meters, he did not want to spend this time. The airship's height had already exceeded two thousand meters.
Fortunately, the difficulty of practicing the farsighted magic is not high, and most of the wizards present can, so they can still see it clearly even from such a distance.
The airship stopped after rising 2500 meters, and then drove the propeller behind the cabin with the help of the steam thrust, slowly moving forward.
It can not only fly, but also drive. It is particularly stable!
"I'm afraid this height has exceeded the attack range of most magic." Teke looked at the floating airship, and his expression became a little solemn.
In a sense, this is a weapon of war. Two magic crystal cannons can be hung on it to carry out long-distance attacks.
If there are twenty airships equipped with magic crystal guns to attack the sea port of Iyeta, there is no doubt that the whole city will be reduced to ruins without the help of the great wizard Herram.
"It's an exquisite design, perfect and terrible..." Herram also knew this very well, turned to look at Lynn and asked again. "The design drawing of this airship should not be completed recently, right?"
If Lydia produced a simple aircraft half a month ago, it can be seen at a glance that it is a crude test object, then now this airship is a finished product.
From takeoff to floating to driving, it is very stable. The appearance design is also very exquisite, which should be a very perfect technology.
"Yes, this airship was designed by me and some friends of the [Mystery Society], but it is difficult to find a suitable place for experimental flight in the territory of the Sekas Empire.
The wizards present nodded in agreement. In the Sekas Empire, the wizards were hunted. How dare they carry out flying experiments so openly.
"Since you have never tried it, why can you be sure it can fly?" asked Teke in confusion.
"Of course, because I have used Olympiad Maths in advance!" Lynn said straightforwardly. "As long as you know all the data, and then go through the precise calculation, it is impossible to make mistakes!"
Before this flight experiment, he had roughly verified that the gravity of the planet was almost the same as that of the earth by weighing objects with different masses.
Now the airship's rising height is also the same as what he predicted, and all these data can be deduced in advance through Olympian mathematics.
"Mathematical Olympiad......" Teke murmured the term that he had never known before. It seemed that this time, in addition to issuing official wizard medals, it was also necessary to have a good understanding of this thing called mathematical Olympiad. He felt that it should be very important for alchemy.
Kevin, Philip and other professors think that Lynn's statement is too absolute. Can we really figure out everything about the so-called mathematical olympiad?
However, this will also be unable to refute, because the airship in front is the best proof!
While Raoul took out his pen again, wrote down Lynn's words, and was ready to enlarge and bold them as a title on one page of Magic Weekly.
"Master Abram, can you please use your magic to turn this square into sand for a while?" Lynn stared at the sky for a while and suddenly said.
"Yes, but can you explain why?" Herram asked.
"Now the height is enough, I'm going to take this opportunity to do an experiment. If the ground is flat, I'm afraid it will be more dynamic!" Lynn said freely.
"Experiment?" Hurramton paused for a moment, but quickly reflected what Lynn was saying. Immediately, he ordered everyone present to back 25 meters with the public address magic, leaving enough space in the middle.
A great wizard spoke in person, and no one dared to disobey. The townspeople present moved back one after another. A circular area with a radius of 25 meters was soon set aside in the center of the originally crowded square.
Hurram first released a large magic enchantment to avoid accidents. Then he cast again, and the solid floor tiles in front quickly cracked under the effect of magic, and finally were decomposed into countless fine grains of sand
Lynn turned his head to look at the wizards and townspeople gathered in the square, and used the principle of sound wave transmission to increase his voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard my law of free fall and star theory more or less in this half month.
I believe that many of you must have doubts about this, thinking that it is an absurd assumption, a sensationalism lie, how can the mainland be round, how can a piece of iron and a stone fall at the same time.
But I have to say here, don't be confused by the appearance of things. What you see in ordinary days is only the influence of wind resistance. In fact, if the factor of air resistance is eliminated, the speed of an object's free fall has nothing to do with its weight or shape! "
"Are you questioning Master Yade's theory?" A young wizard interrupted in the crowd.
The falling speed of objects is proportional to the weight, and will also be affected by different shapes. This is almost common sense. In reality, there are too many examples to prove that Master Yade's conclusion is correct.
"Then we might as well make a bet." Lynn raised his pitch a few minutes.
"Ten minutes later, I will ask Lydia to lower the airship to about 40 meters, and then drop two iron balls with very different volume and mass from the sky at the same time!"
"Their weights are dozens of times different! But I bet the two balls will land at the same time, and the isolation will not exceed a second!"
"The bet is tentatively three magic gold coins, and anyone can participate!" Lynn said with a smile.
The purchasing power of three magic gold coins is equivalent to 50000 to 60000 yuan in the previous life, which is not a small amount for wizards, but it is not to the extent of pain.
The young wizard almost didn't think much about it, so he threw three gold coins.
If Lynn didn't lie, according to Master Yade's theory, a heavier iron ball must fall much faster than a ball.
As he generally thought, there were not a few people. So in just a few minutes, more than 20 wizards took part in the gamble. Raul was no exception. He was deeply suspicious of this theory.
Many townspeople are also ready to move, but not many people dare to participate in the Wizards' gamble.
"What about you? Are you going to have a try?" Lynn turned to look at the students of the Mathematical Olympiad class behind him and asked jokingly.
Peirce and others shook their heads in a hurry, and Elok shivered even more. The last time the professor opened a gambling game, he almost lost the wealth comparable to the whole sea port of Iyeta.
In a twinkling of an eye, there were sixty-nine magic gold coins in hand. Lynn also felt some emotion. Sure enough, it was impossible to get rich with a dead paycheck.
However, his free fall experiment with airship is not only to make money, but also to justify his theory!
Although on the first day when he came to the sea port of Iyeta, he confirmed this in the vacuum field created by Hurram in the college.
However, it is too difficult to create a vacuum environment. Only a great wizard can do it. Therefore, this conclusion is limited to a small range of dissemination. Most people are more willing to believe what they see.
So Lynn is going to take advantage of today to thoroughly prove this theory with an experiment that no one can refute!
