Chapter 153 Measuring the Circumference of a Planet! (Subscribe)



This explosive news shocked countless civilians and wizards. No one had ever thought that they could measure the continent and ocean on which they lived.

After all, the ocean is so vast. Before this, many people believed that this world had no end!

However, Lin En was doing something that everyone thought was impossible, and he proposed a logically feasible method, and even proved his planet theory with experiments! So in a very short time, Lin En, the Secret Law Society, and his planet circumference determination method immediately became the hottest topics in the wizard land. Even those farmers who cultivated the land would mention it when they gathered together to chat, in order to show their profound knowledge.

However, the Flat Earth theory has been rooted in the wizard land for too long. That simple, straightforward, self-centered theory still has many supporters. These people firmly believe that the continent under their feet can never be round. This is all a magic trick by the wizard from the Sea of ​​Mist! But whether they agree or disagree, they all rushed to Greenriel to witness this historic moment! Kevin and Orlando, who had received Philip's invitation early, also arrived in Greenriel in a carriage, accompanied by Darren and other halflings.

"Look, that pendulum!" Darren saw the huge, swinging iron ball in the center of the city as soon as he entered the city.

That was the pendulum pointer that the master architect Raphael reproduced one-to-one with the permission of the parliament and the authorization of Lynn. Even the sand table and the scale disc below are exactly the same.

The only change was that the extremely ambitious Raphael did not erect a wooden stick on the sand table as a pointer, because he was preparing to create a great art that would last forever!

In order to create this miracle, dozens of alchemy masters stayed up all night and spent three whole days setting up a huge alchemy formation under the sand table, extracting all the elements in the nearby space to form a vacuum field.

In this way, without the influence of air resistance, theoretically, the pendulum can continue to move like this under the combined action of gravity and the Coriolis force.

Every wizard who walked into Greenria couldn't help but sigh when they saw this iron ball that could swing back and forth and even change direction without any external force. This was simply a miracle in the history of magic!

"How long is it until noon?" Raphael looked at the sky. The scorching sun was already high above his head. He asked for the seventh time.

"There are only fifteen minutes left!" The apprentices next to him also had excited expressions on their faces and looked at the magic clock nervously.

Such a scene was played out in every corner of Greenrill, and everyone was looking forward to it. Those wizards who had no money to buy the magic clock all stared at the sundial, anxiously waiting for the final moment to come.

At the same time, an airship was speeding across the vast ocean.

As early as 11:45 noon the day before yesterday, the airship had already set off from Greenridge and began its voyage under the attention of countless people. Up to now, it has been sailing on the sea for two days, which is a full 720 kilometers!

Lin En couldn't help but sigh that this sea area was so unimaginably vast. He only saw scattered uninhabited islands along the way.

In order to increase the rigor of the experiment and to provide a beacon to guide the airship when it returns, Harof also used magic to erect a stone pillar on an island midway, and left a wizard to record the data, while the rest of the people continued to cross the sea by airship.

"It should be about time, right?" Harof glanced at the magic clock in the cockpit. There were less than fifteen minutes left until noon.

"The Overlook has arrived at the designated location. The total sailing time is exactly forty-eight hours. We will begin landing now!" Lydia saluted Lin En in a ship's etiquette, and then trotted all the way to turn off the alchemical steam engine that drove the propeller, and then emptied the auxiliary airbags to lower the altitude.

Due to being too excited about her first long-distance mission, the half-orc girl had two dark circles under her eyes, but she was very excited and did not look tired at all.

Without even waiting for the airship to stop and land, Harof flew down impatiently and landed on the sea very steadily with the help of the slow-fall technique.

The wind and waves on the sea were very strong, and the surging waves leaped high and rolled towards Harov.

But the next moment, a strong wave of magical power surged from Harof's body, and time seemed to stop suddenly. The sweeping waves were instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

Then this force quickly extended to the wide sea surface. Wherever it passed, the surging waves were all frozen into thick ice. In a blink of an eye, the entire sea surface had become a huge floating ice island.

Only at this moment did the airship slowly fall from the sky.

When the people got off the gondola, they saw the peculiar sight of the sea surface being frozen in an instant. It was like a beautiful ice painting. The surging sea water and the leaping waves were turned into sculptures and preserved.

However, Harof obviously had no time to appreciate any art. With a wave of his right hand, he used magic to carve out a wide and straight piece of ice surface, and then erected a giant icicle that was a hundred meters high in the center of the ice surface.

"How much longer?" Harrov shouted.

"One minute, the last minute! There are still fifty-three seconds left!" Lydia shouted loudly while holding the magic clock.

At this moment, whether on the floating island or in Greenrail, everyone looked up at the sun, feeling that this minute was so long.

With ten seconds left, Lynn took out the thin rope and handed the other end to Harov, ready to measure the length of the icicle's shadow.

The transparent icicles sparkled with a strange glow under the sunlight.

As the editor of Magic Daily, Roll, who was lucky enough to get the qualification to ride the airship, was standing on the ice with a crazy look on his face. His right hand holding the feather pen shook rapidly on the paper, and he drew the wide floating ice island, the towering icicles, the landing airship, and Lin En and Harof using ropes to measure the length of the shadow on the parchment...
