Seeing that the atmosphere on the field had become somewhat confrontational, Raphael quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere. "Regarding the method of measuring the speed of light and the theory of light elements, let's discuss it privately after today's seminar. Time is limited, so let's move on to the next item..."
Glenn and the others bowed and left with the light dissociation device. About two minutes later, another wizard walked onto the stage to show everyone his research results, a multi-headed lizard corpse and related research reports!
This is undoubtedly valuable, because the multi-headed hydra is rare in the wizard land, so there is currently no detailed autopsy report on this monster.
If a reshaping wizard wants to completely transform into a certain creature, the first step is to thoroughly understand the structure of this creature. Transforming into a magical creature is even more difficult, as it involves magic cells. Even a formal wizard will only choose one magical creature to transform.
"Very good, but your research missed an important thing, that is, the lizard has several heads. Once a wizard chooses to transform this creature, he will face unknown risks, and it is possible that the soul will be separated..." Sanchez said solemnly as he flipped through the report in his hand.
However, although this is risky, it is also the special feature of the multi-headed hydra. Its regenerative ability is incredible. Even if its head is chopped off, it can grow another one. Its combat power is very considerable. If it can be studied thoroughly, maybe in the future wizards of the plastic school will have another option of magical transformation.
Thinking of this, Sanchez asked him to continue his research. If he could solve the risk of deformation or crack the secret of the infinite regeneration of the multi-headed lizard, he would strive for the nomination of the Morning Star Medal for him...
The wizard who was recognized by Sanchez seemed very happy, and his eyes quickly turned to the other great wizards.
Lynn's understanding of shaping magic is still at the elementary stage. He cannot compare with a master of shaping like Sanchez. He can only give the other party some suggestions on dissection and corpse storage from a biological perspective.
The other judges also made comments and added that Raphael strongly disagreed with developing the transformation magic of the multi-headed lizard. After all, splitting the consciousness into several heads was chilling to think about, and it might cause irreparable damage at the soul level.
But in general, several people agree with Sanchez's judgment. If they can continue their research and produce more rigorous results, they will not hesitate to nominate to Parliament.
"It seems that there will be several recipients of the Morning Star Medal at today's academic seminar..." Raphael said with emotion as he watched the wizard walk down the platform.
He hadn't seen such a grand occasion for decades. It must be that Lin En's winning of the highest honor in academia last year had inspired a wave of research among wizards.
However, Raphael had undoubtedly set a flag. After he finished speaking, no new theories or inventions appeared that made them feel bright throughout the entire afternoon.
Lin En was also very disappointed. One of the wizards came up and said that he had discovered the secret of elements, which was enough to overturn the existing elemental system. He looked forward to it for a while, but the other party's argument could only be described as full of loopholes.
But with the lesson from Glenn in mind, Lynn did not refute the theory bluntly. Instead, he pointed out the loopholes in the theory as tactfully as possible and praised the other party for daring to question authority.
The seminar ended in the evening, and almost all the wizards who walked out of the auditorium were discussing the experiment of measuring the speed of light mentioned by Lin En.
Some people even thought maliciously that maybe Master Lin En wanted them to get another Silver Moon Medal, so he deliberately made optics so important.
But such speculation is obviously untenable, because at the meeting today, Master Lin En had clearly researched the theory of three primary colors a long time ago, but he was still willing to nominate Glenn... If he was a person who attached great importance to honor, he would never give up the Morning Star Medal he deserved.
"Glenn, have you figured out how to measure the speed of light?" Outside the gate, a pretty witch looked at Glenn with a sad face and a bit of complaint in her tone. "You shouldn't have rejected Master Lin's kindness just now. It took you several months to research it."
Glenn said helplessly. "Nancy, everyone in the meeting just now can see that Master Lin En discovered these theories a long time ago. I am not the original creator at all. If I win the Morning Star Medal for this, I am afraid I will be criticized a lot."
"It's nothing more than some jealous people talking nonsense. It's not as important as the Morning Star Medal..." The witch named Nancy curled her lips, still a little dissatisfied. Glenn shook his head and did not continue to argue. Instead, he skipped the topic, straightened his face, and said, "As for how to measure the speed of light... I think we should use Lady Aurora's method."
"But didn't the Speaker's experiment fail?" Nancy asked puzzledly.
"It's just that the distance is not enough!" Glenn said firmly. "As long as the distance is increased tenfold, or even a hundredfold, it will work. This is the dumbest but also the fastest way!"
A hundred times... that means they are at least a hundred kilometers away, so can they still see the light? Nancy muttered to herself.
Glenn quickly described his idea. He had previously used the magnification and reduction principles of convex and concave mirrors to develop a small magic of focusing light, which could gather light to form a more dazzling light.
This way, even if the light scatters when traveling over long distances, it should still be able to maintain an intensity that can be seen by the naked eye.
As for how to achieve a distance of 100 kilometers, his idea is to let the light refract back and forth continuously! A mirror is 100 meters apart, ten mirrors are 1 kilometer, a hundred mirrors are 10 kilometers, and a thousand mirrors are 100 kilometers! Even if the speed of light is 1,000 kilometers per second as Aurora guessed, it will take 0.1 seconds to travel the entire distance. With the wizard's reaction speed, this accuracy can still be barely judged...
"A thousand mirrors." Nancy smacked her lips in amazement, and was impressed by Glenn's ability to come up with such a grand plan, but then she hesitated. "This thing is not cheap..."
A mirror costs several magic gold coins, and even if they emptied their pockets they couldn't afford it!
"So we can only borrow it!" Glenn shrugged. In order for his experiment to proceed smoothly, he had to put aside his pride.
