Chapter 196: How Big Is the Earth?

One of the things that has been noisy in recent days is-

The swordsmith from the Rushing Sword Country, the Guardian Palace, is about to measure the size of the [Earth] for the world.

Although as early as a thousand years ago, Master Yue Chuanwo had already expounded the fact that the world was spherical, but no one had really proved how big this ball was, and it was impossible for someone to run around the world from this end with such a long ruler.

Wei Gong stood on top of the Dream Square, looked at the center [Zhengyuan Tower], and tried to take a deep breath.

If it weren't for Jian Rin Sakura's faint soul, he wouldn't have agreed to measure this matter publicly.

You must know that Bruno angered the church in order to promote Copernicus's heliocentrism, and was later burned to death. Fortunately, Yue Chuanwo, the ancestor, laid a good foundation and conveyed the fact that [the world] is a ball for people, otherwise Wei Gong would really not dare to risk the world's disapproval.

Yue Chuanwo made a judgment on the fact that the Fairy Sword World was spherical in many ways-

First of all, when looking at the sea level, it is always the mast of the ship approaching in the distance first, and then the hull.

When the light hits the ground, the angle between the shadow and the object is different in different places.

These evidences have made strong evidence that the Fairy Sword World is a ball, so this statement has gradually been accepted by the world since Yue Chuanwo.

It's just that Yue Chuanwo also left a puzzle at the same time-

Since the world of fairy swords is round, how big is it?

After more than a thousand years, until now, a person called Emiya has appeared, and he will calculate here in a special way.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a sensation all over the world, and many people came from far and wide.

Yue Chuanwo only said that the world is a ball, but did not explain what the universe is, on the contrary, he was silent about the center of the universe, according to Wei Gong's guess, he should be afraid of offending the people in power, after all, no matter how powerful he is, there is no way to shake the long-formed concept of the whole world with the power of one person, especially the divine right of the king.

So the core idea that has been handed down to the present is still the Sword Pillar Mountain of each of the Thirteen Kingdoms, which is the force that supports the entire universe, and the monarch of each country is the chosen Sword Pillar Guardian.

To a certain extent, Yue Chuanwo does have his wisdom side, when Buddhism was first introduced to the Han Dynasty, it was also the missionaries who flattered the king and said, you are the reincarnation of the Dharma King, so you were able to preach in Middle-earth, Yue Chuanwo wanted to promote his advanced ideas and strive to live better in this world, and he must have made certain compromises.

Kenrin Sakura stood on a high place, holding her hands and looking at Emiya with a smile in her eyes, her blue cloak lifted by the wind, and the moon-shaped crown on her head shining in the sun.

She overheard him and Cui Xiaoxiao talking about measuring the world, and felt that this was a great feat, which would definitely go down in history in the future, and Wei Gong would definitely become a great person like Yue Chuanwo.

For her, there are several considerations.

One is that this is a great experiment, if it can be held in the Dream Sword Country, then the prestige and international status of the Dream Sword Country will rise a lot, and future generations will also appreciate what she did today-

It was the enlightened Empress of the Dream Sword Kingdom who let the world know how big this [spherical world] is.

On the other hand, Wei Gong was able to do this measurement work at her suggestion, which was a resounding slap in the face to those who coveted Wei Gong and wanted to poach him, which was a sign that let the world know that she and Wei Gong were inseparable.

She will give the greatest honor to the Emiya, and the Emiya will help her to make the country richer.

For Emiya, it's a similar idea -

This time can lay the foundation for his prestige and status, at least in the eyes of the world, this swordsmith who rises like the rising sun, there are some shadows of Yue Chuanwo back then, maybe he will be able to become the second great sage who is equally famous and can change the world in the future.

As long as he can do a few more similar [shocking the world] actions, his words will have a decisive impact after that, and at that time, his Webster sword-forging career will definitely flourish and spread all over the world.

In addition, the people of this world need a gentle process of accepting new things, otherwise if they change their minds too quickly, they will be regarded as crazy and even threaten the position of those in power, and he will most likely be sentenced to death.

In order for more new technologies and theories that he may make in the future to be accepted by the world, this [World Measurement] will definitely be a good start.

Perhaps through his efforts, or three or four generations, people will understand that the universe is more vast than they imagined, that human beings are just a small speck of dust, and that the monarch and the gods of the sixteen-fold realm are not omnipotent supreme beings.

There are many unknown and hidden truths in the world, waiting for people to discover, and more human progress and the birth of science and technology need to be invented and created by latecomers......

At this time, the entire dream square was already crowded with people, and there were countless people who came to visit this measurement, and when they looked down from the tower, they saw that the crowd was surging, and the black pressure was overwhelming, except for the circular range of a hundred meters radius set aside by the center for the palace and the empress, the outside had been surrounded by water.

Everyone wanted to see this moment of witnessing a miracle.

"Is it really possible, this swordsmith called the Guardian Palace can really solve one of the puzzles left by the great god Yue Chuanwo?"

"What are you kidding, just that hairy boy? How is this possible? ”

"Not necessarily, have you heard of the battle of Yunmenggang, it was this swordsmith called Weigong who invented a sword called the Tear Sword or something, and the detection range can be as high as more than 1,000 kilometers, so it can defeat the pirates who come to attack."

The so-called false rumors are nothing more than that, if Wei Gong hears their conversation, he will definitely sigh, people are terrible, in such a short time, his 100-kilometer reconnaissance radar sword has been exaggerated by 10 times, and according to this situation, there will only be a trend of getting more and more intense.

"It's really fake, it's impossible, so if there are a few more swords like this, wouldn't there be no privacy at home?"

"yes, he's pretty good."

In addition to the lively audience, there were many famous arithmetics from other countries in the crowd, and there were also some experts who regarded solving the [Mystery of the Gods Left by Yue Chuanwo] as their lifelong goal.

In their opinion, it is impossible for the palace to succeed, otherwise after more than a thousand years, no one will be able to solve this doubt.

And for those who have spent their lives studying this puzzle, it is even more difficult to accept Emiya's remarks.
