Chapter Seventy-Three: Touch the Clouds in the Sky! (2-in-1)
"It's unbelievable that this thing actually flies!"
If the airship that took off in the air was particularly surprising to the wizards, then to the onlookers, it was shocking!
Because Lydia and they all knew each other, a noisy halfling who always liked to tinker with strange things.
Crucially, she, like all the ordinary townsfolk present, didn't know magic at all.
And now, Lydia was right in front of them, riding something bigger than a house, flying straight into the sky, doing something that even many wizards couldn't do!
"Dad, can I fly to the sky in the future?" The boy who had just climbed up the sculpture and touched the airship looked at the man in the gray robe, and asked with an excited expression.
"What do you think? I'm sure it must have been a wizard who secretly cast a magic ...... on the airship," the gray-robed man didn't believe that a halfling could fly on his own, and in the wizarding land, all miracles belonged to the power of magic.
"Who said it was magical?" Darren, who heard this, was immediately unhappy, and corrected him in annoyance. "I guarantee that every part of this airship is made by us halflings, without the slightest use of magic!"
"When Lydia comes down from the sky, you can also go to the airship to have a look......"
"For ten silver coins, anyone can take an airship around the sky, and Lord Lynn said that this thing can fly very high, even higher than many clouds, and if you have the chance, you might even be able to touch the clouds in the sky." Darren said smugly.
Can you fly higher than the clouds?
The children in the square couldn't help but look up at the sky, looking at the huge airship that was getting farther and farther away from them, imagining what it would be like to touch the clouds, it was so white, it must be as soft as sheep's hair, right?
The rest of the townspeople are also a little tempted, such a huge alchemy machine, the cost must be expensive, only ten silver coins can fly into the sky for a walk, it doesn't seem to be very expensive......
You know, it's the sky!
At the same time, hundreds of meters in the air, Lydia was standing on a chair with a special character, looking down, looking at the dense crowd in the square that was getting farther and farther away from her, turning into small dots, and finally the whole picture of the harbor city was presented to her.
Everything was so small, like the wooden models she had placed in the workshop, as if they could be trampled to pieces with one foot.
"Is this what it's like to take to the skies? It's just amazing! Lydia looked around, excitedly at the mountains and the vast expanse of the sea in the distance.
Although more than ten days ago, she also took to the sky in a rudimentary flying machine, but the altitude was only about 100 meters, and she didn't dare to wander at all.
Like now, without her control, the airship can spontaneously levitate in the air, and she can do whatever she wants here.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the otherwise stable airship shook slightly in the wind.
People who fly into the sky for the first time often have an unprovoked fear in their hearts, but Lydia is not afraid at all, but boldly climbs to the edge of the airship, spreads her arms, faces the strong wind, whining and screaming, venting the excitement in her heart.
It wasn't until she saw a white cloud floating not far from the airship that Lydia, who had a bold idea in her heart, jumped down and sat back in her seat, holding the rudder, and drove the airship directly towards the clouds!
The huge airship crashed head-on into the clouds, and as it passed through it, Lydia's eyes were covered in white, and her cheeks and arms were wet, and it felt like she was standing on the seashore and being blown by the melodious sea breeze.
"This must be a happy cloud!" Lydia said with a grin.
However, while playing, the halfling girl did not forget the task given to her by Lynn, and after driving the airship around for a while, she hovered again over the square, and then pulled the wrench next to her.
The planks at the bottom of the airship immediately bounced off, and two balls with a mass difference of dozens of times fell from the cabin, but due to the restraint of the ropes, they hovered in the air again, constantly swaying from side to side, pulling the airship slightly tilted.
Immediately after that, the halfling girl pulled the alchemy eyepiece in front of her eyes, poked her head out and waited for Lynn's gestures and orders.
This eyepiece was the only magical item she carried, and it had a farsightedness spell fixed on it, allowing her to see as sharp as a griffon, and she could clearly see Professor Lynn in the crowd from a distance of two thousand meters.
……
"Looks like the next issue of Magic Weekly is going to be a big hit!"
Ten minutes ago, Rohr, who was located in the square, was very satisfied with the drawing, and added his feelings at the bottom, and had a rough expectation of the sales of the newspaper in his heart.
Lynn took a closer look, and there were three drawings on the papyrus, of Lydia boarding the airship, cutting the ropes, and flying into the sky.
Although the time is limited, only a few outlines are sketched, but the picture is already lifelike, this sketching technique, no different from a humanoid printer, no wonder the other party can be the commissioner of "Magic Weekly".
After a moment's delay, the airship had already flown into the air, and it looked like a small dot from this side.
"That's too high!" Theodore tilted his head and looked at the airship that continued to climb in the air in amazement, at first he thought that even if this thing could fly at a maximum height of a few hundred meters, he didn't want to use this kung fu for a while, and the airship was already more than two thousand meters high.
Fortunately, the cultivation of farsightedness magic is not very difficult, and most of the wizards present can, so even from such a distance, they can still see it clearly.
The airship stopped after rising to an altitude of 2,500 meters, and then slowly moved forward with the help of the steam thrust to drive the propellers behind the cabin.
Not only can it fly, but it can also open, and it is very stable!
"I'm afraid this height is already beyond the attack range of most magic." Tik looked at the airship in the air, and his expression became a little solemn.
In a sense, this thing is a weapon of war, and two magic crystal cannons can be hung on it to carry out ultra-long-range attacks.
If twenty airships armed with magic crystal cannons attacked the harbor of Iyeta, there is no doubt that the entire city would be reduced to ruins without the help of the great wizard Helram.
"It's a clever design, it's perfect and terrifying......," Helram was well aware of this, turning his head to look at Lynn and asking again. The blueprint for this airship should not have been completed recently, right? ”
If half a month ago, Lydia made a rudimentary flying machine, which could be seen at a glance as a shoddy test subject, then now this airship is a properly finished product.
From take-off to floating to driving, it is very smooth, and the design of the appearance is also very elegant, which should be a very complete technology.
"Yes, this airship was designed by me and a few friends of the [Secret Law Society], but it is difficult to find a suitable place to experiment in the territory of the Sekas Empire." Lynn explained, by the way, a small wave of the Wizarding Land.
The wizards present nodded in agreement, in the Sekas Empire, wizards are all hunted down, how dare they conduct flight experiments in such a fair and bright way.
"Since you've never tested it, why can you be sure that it will fly?" Tik asked, confused.
"Of course, because I've already calculated it in advance with the use of Olympiad!" Lynn said bluntly. "As long as you know all the data and do the calculations carefully, you can't go wrong!"
Before conducting this flight experiment, he had already weighed objects of different masses to roughly verify that the gravity of the planet is almost the same as that of the Earth.
Now the altitude of the airship is also the same as he predicted, and these data can all be deduced in advance through the Olympiad.
"Olympiad ......" Tik muttered a term he had never known before, and it seemed that this time in addition to issuing official wizard medals, it was also necessary to learn about this thing called Olympiad, which he felt should be very important for alchemy.
Kevin, Philip and other professors think that what Lynn said is a bit too absolute, can the so-called Olympiad really be calculated in anything?
However, this will not be able to refute it, because the airship in front of you is the best proof of this!
On the side, Rohr took out his pen again and jotted down Lynn's words, preparing to put them in bold as a headline on one of the pages of Magic Weekly.
"Master Heran Ram, could you please cast a spell to turn this square into sand for the time being?" Lynn stared at the sky for a moment, then suddenly spoke.
"Yes, but can you explain why?" Helram asked, puzzled.
"Now the height is enough, I'm going to take this opportunity to do an experiment, if it's flat, I'm afraid the movement will be bigger!" Lynn said with ease.
"Experiment?" Helram paused, but quickly reacted to what Lynn was talking about, and immediately used amplification magic to order everyone present to step back twenty-five meters, leaving a spacious enough space in the middle.
A grand wizard spoke in person, and no one dared to disobey, and the townspeople present shifted their steps backwards, and a circular area with a radius of twenty-five meters was quickly set aside in the center of the originally crowded square.
Helram first unleashed a large magical barrier to avoid accidents, and then cast the spell again, and the solid floor tiles in front of him quickly cracked under the effect of the magic, and finally broke down countless fine grains of sand......
Lynn took advantage of this to turn her head to look at the wizards and townsfolk gathered in the square, and used the principle of sound wave transmission to increase her voice.
"Everyone, I think you must have heard more or less about my law of free fall and the theory of the planets in the past half month.
I am sure that many of you must have doubts about this, thinking that it is a ridiculous conjecture and a lie to sensationalize the public, how can the continent be round, and how can a piece of iron fall to the ground at the same time as a stone.
But I have to say here, don't be fooled by the appearance of things, what you see in your daily life is only the effect of wind resistance, in fact, if you remove the factor of air resistance, the speed of an object in free fall has nothing to do with its weight or shape! ”
"Are you questioning Master Yard's theory?" In the crowd, a young wizard interrupted.
It is almost common sense that the falling speed of an object is proportional to its weight, and it will also be affected by the difference in shape, and there are too many examples in reality to prove that Master Yard's conclusion is correct.
"Then we might as well make a bet." Lynn raised her pitch a few points.
"In ten minutes, I'll have Lydia drop the airship to about three hundred meters, and then drop a ball made of hollow wood and iron from the sky at the same time!"
"They differ in weight by dozens of times! But I'm betting that the two balls will hit the ground at the same time, never more than a second apart! ”
"The stakes are tentatively set at three magic coins, and anyone can participate!" Lynn said with a smile.
The purchasing power of three magic gold coins is equivalent to 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in the previous life, which is not a small amount for a wizard, but it has not reached the level of flesh pain.
Without much thought, the young wizard tossed the three gold coins over.
Hollow Wood, as its name suggests, is the lightest known piece of wood, and if Lynn is not lying, according to Master Yard's theory, the Iron Ball must fall much faster than the Wood Ball.
There were not a few people who thought like him, so in just a few minutes more than twenty wizards were involved in the gamble, and Rohr was no exception, and he was very skeptical of this theory.
Many townspeople are also ready to move, but not many dare to participate in the wizard's gamble.
"What about you? Planning to give it a try? Lynn turned her head to look at the students of the Olympiad class behind her, and asked jokingly.
Peirce and the others hurriedly shook their heads, and Elok shuddered even more, the last time the professor opened a gambling game, he almost lost a fortune comparable to the entire seaport of Iyeta.
In the blink of an eye, sixty-nine magic gold coins arrived, and Lynn was also a little emotional, sure enough, it would never be possible to get rich by dying on a salary.
However, he used airships to conduct freefall experiments not only to make money, but more importantly, to justify his theory!
Although on his first day in the harbor of Iyeta, he confirmed this in the vacuum realm created by Helram within the Academy.
But it is too difficult to create a vacuum, and only the great wizards can do it, so this conclusion is limited to a small spread, and most people prefer to believe what they see in front of their eyes.
So Lynn is ready to take advantage of today to completely confirm this theory with an experiment that no one can refute!
