Chapter Seventy-Four: You and I Are One Step Closer to Truth (2-in-1)

In the midst of everyone's attention, the airship began to fall slowly, and soon hovered two or three hundred meters above the square.

All the wizards in the square, as well as the discerning townspeople, could see the two orbs hanging from the bottom of the airship.

The former is about a meter in diameter, made of metal, and is pulled by a thick cowhide rope, which is so tight that it seems to be about to break in the next moment.

The other ball, though the same size, is red and made of lighter hollow wood, and the huge difference in quality between the two can be seen by the tightness of the cowhide rope.

Lynn waited until the moment when the blowing sea breeze gradually weakened and the airship really hovered firmly before picking up a red flag and shaking it a few times.

In the airship above, Lydia, who was lying on the edge of the stool, also hurriedly waved her flag in response......

"Here we go!" Lynn spoke.

The eyes of everyone present were focused on the two balls suspended at the bottom of the airship.

As another wrench was pulled down by Lydia, the two ropes were nearly broken...... The iron ball and the wooden ball fell at the same moment......

"It's the iron ball that's faster, it's the iron ball that's faster!" The young wizard shouted excitedly, and under the effect of farsightedness magic, he could clearly and accurately see that the moment the rope broke, it was the iron ball that fell first!

However, the excitement on the wizard's face was stuck in his face in the next second, because after the iron ball fell, it was not as fast as he expected, but kept a very close distance from the wooden ball.

It was not so much that the iron ball fell faster, but that the rope that bound the iron ball collapsed tighter, which caused the fall to be faster for a moment, and the slight sea breeze affected the falling body of the wooden ball to create such an illusion.

Lynn was not worried, compared to the mass of the two spheres themselves, the air resistance and a slight breeze were almost negligible, unless there was a sudden strong wind of more than five degrees, it would not affect the final result.

Sure enough, by the third second, both had reached the terminal velocity of their fall, and the height of the wooden ball was still exactly the same as that of the iron ball.

"This can't be, this shouldn't be!"

The wizards who saw this scene clearly had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and some even wondered if it was Lynn who secretly applied the [Slow Fall Technique] on the iron ball to cause such an amazing effect.

As soon as he thought so, after more than 20 seconds of falling, a huge iron ball weighing two or three tons smashed straight into the square.

Suddenly, the whole square seemed to shake, and the huge impact force made the iron ball deeply embedded in the sand at the moment of falling, and the surrounding quicksand exploded at the moment of falling, like continuous sand grains, scattered in all directions like stone rain.

An invisible magical barrier enclosed the central part of the square, and the sand and stones crackled against the barrier.

Out of trust in the Great Wizard, not many people paid attention to the flying sand and stones, and they all stared intently at the two balls in the center of the square.

The huge iron ball had smashed deep into the center of the square, and the sand and stones that had been distributed, forming an impact crater with a radius of about three meters, and the surrounding fine sand was still piling up inward.

Underneath the other wooden ball, the crater was even half a metre long and was quickly filled with sand and gravel.

Just like what Lynn said just now, two spheres with a mass difference of dozens of times crossed a distance of three hundred meters at the same moment and reached the ground!

"Professor Hellam, can you let me confirm?" The young wizard asked eagerly.

The archwizard didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Lynn, and when he saw the other party nodding, he removed the magic barrier.

The wizard immediately ran over, not minding that his ankles were sinking into the sand, and he crouched down and lifted the hollow wooden ball with his hands around it.

He thought it would be very heavy, but it turned out to be the opposite of what he had expected, and he just used some strength to hold the ball in his arms.

"That's too light!"

The wizard said in astonishment, and roughly estimated that the wooden ball was only about seventy catties, and there was no trace of magic on it.

Could it be that there is something wrong with another iron ball?

The unbelieving wizard immediately put down the wooden ball, squatted down and was about to lift the iron ball with a diameter of one meter, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the thing out of the sand and stone, and finally even used the [Mage's Hand], and the big iron ball still didn't move.

Hiss~ How much does this thing weigh?

The young wizard couldn't help but be stunned, only then did he be sure that the other party did not cut corners.

"If anyone still has doubts, they can go up and confirm." Lynn said nonchalantly.

With Lynn's approval, wizards and townsfolk who were skeptical about the experiment stepped into the sand and used their own hands to test the weight difference between the two balls.

Adults with a little more strength can even lift the ball above their heads, but they can't do anything about the other ball.

In the end, it was Herram who pulled the thing out of the sand with the Mage's Hand, and weighed it in his hand.

"About six thousand pounds!" Helram pondered for a moment, and made a relatively accurate judgment.

Philip, Kevin, Theodore and others glanced at each other, and it was hard to hide the shock in their hearts, the difference in quality between the two that Lynn just said was dozens of times too conservative, this is already a gap of nearly a hundred times!

"But, it's so strange, why is this happening?" Rohr looked at Lynn in confusion, he didn't care about the three gold coins he lost, but was very strange about this phenomenon that defied common sense.

He had seen the horrific destruction caused by the iron ball as it landed, but it fell at the exact same speed as a hollow wooden ball.

It's not magic at all!

"Let's make a hypothesis." Lynn looked at the pair of puzzled eyes in the square, and his tone increased a little. "According to Master Yard's theory, the speed at which an object falls is proportional to its weight, right?"

Rohr and the others nodded, and Lynn's voice changed, pointing to the two orbs and speaking.

"If I tie this ball of wood and iron together with a rope and throw it from the sky, do you think it will fall faster or slower?"

"Faster, of course, because the overall weight has increased ......," replied Rohr without thinking.

But in the next second, several wizards retorted. "No...... It should be slower! The mass of the wooden ball is much lower than that of the iron ball, and the landing speed is much slower, so it will inevitably slow down the falling speed of the iron ball. ”

"If it takes four seconds for a single iron ball to fall and nine seconds for a wooden ball to fall, then tie the two together and fall at the same time, and the final landing time should be between four and nine seconds."

Before Lynn could even reply, the wizards of the two factions were already arguing together, and Jonny, Elok and the others listened in observance, feeling that what they said seemed to make sense, but they were contradictory......

The answer is...... No change! Lynn interrupted the arguing.

"How could there be no change!" Philip frowned and scolded, but as soon as he said the whole person, he paused, because the falling experiment just now proved this, the speed of the object falling has nothing to do with the weight, and it will fall at the same moment anyway.

"Mr. Rohr, can you give me a blank piece of paper?" Lynn knew that many of the people present still had questions, so she looked at Rohr and asked.

"Absolutely." Rohr pulled one out of the paper in his arms and handed it to Lynn, curious to see what he wanted to do.

Lynn turned to look at the townspeople, holding the page aloft. "Whoever can give me a book, as long as it's a little wider than this paper!"

In the midst of the commotion, a child contributed the storybook he had with him.

Lynn urged the [Mage's Hand] to send the piece of paper and the storybook to a height of two meters, and let them fall together.

The pages floated slowly in the air, taking a full nine seconds to fall to the ground, while the storybook fell to the ground in just three seconds.

"What are you doing here?" Philip asked, "Doesn't this phenomenon just refute his theory?"

Lynn didn't answer, but gently placed the pages on top of the cover of the storybook, and then sent them up again with the cover facing up, jokingly. "Come on, guess who will land first if they drop them all at the same time?"

"Do you still need to guess? There is no doubt that it is the pages that float in the air, and the books that fall first! Philip said categorically.

This time, both factions agreed with Philip's point of view, and since Lynn did not bind the two together, they could not be considered as a whole.

Then it must be the paper is slow, the book is fast!

"Then you're going to have to see it clearly!" Lynn shook her head and lifted the spell directly.

The next moment, to the surprise of everyone present, the page did not float as everyone imagined, but just pasted on the cover of the book, and fell with it.

The whole process took only three seconds, and the light pages and heavy books landed at the same time!

The whole square fell into a deathly silence, and they couldn't even figure out why this was happening.

Reality has undoubtedly shattered everyone's intuition once again!

Unless...... Really, as Lynn said, the speed of the fall has nothing to do with the weight!

"Is it the elimination of air resistance?" Helram said in deep thought, of course he could see that because Lynn had attached the pages to the book, the thin paper did not need to face the resistance of the air, and of course it would fall with the book.

The unbelieving Rohr tried again according to the method Lynn had just made, but there was still no change!

Even the wizards who had the highest opposition before had to consider one question, Master Yard's theory might really be wrong!

"Your wisdom is commendable, Master Hellam! It is precisely because the book bears the air resistance instead of the paper that they fall together! Lynn first boasted about Helram very naturally, and then looked at the wizards who had not yet recovered from the two falling experiments, and spoke again.

"When I was in the [Arcane Society], I heard a master say that this world is incomparably magical, and sometimes some phenomena are even beyond your and mine's cognition, and the process of wizards exploring the truth is like a few blind people trying to recreate its image in their minds by touching a giant dragon."

"Whoever touches the dragon's legs thinks that the dragon looks like a cylinder, and whoever touches the wings thinks that the dragon looks like a disk, flat and long...... But there is no doubt that all these conclusions are one-sided! ”

"Maybe one day, another wizard will stand in this square and overturn this law of free fall with a rigorous, irrefutable experiment, but I will never be outraged by this, on the contrary, I welcome anyone to question it or prove it repeatedly through experiments!"

"Because every mistake is corrected, it means that you and I are one step closer to the truth!"

Lynn's loud voice echoed in the square, and after a very brief silence, bursts of thunderous applause rang out.

Tick, Philip and others were shocked by the two free-fall experiments beyond their imagination, and admired Lynn's mind.

The battle over ideas in the Wizarding Lands is no joke, and sometimes the two schools even fight to prove whose theory is correct.

But Lynn actually did the opposite, and welcomed everyone to repeatedly test his theory through experiments, such a mind is really admirable!

The townspeople present also applauded together, those knowledgeable people were sincere, but some people heard in the clouds, a short halfling, looked at Darren, whose palms were about to turn red, and asked quietly.

"Do you understand what they're saying? Darren? ”

"Isn't that easy? Master Yard's theory is wrong, Lord Lynn's theory is right! Darren had a disdainful look on his face, but he was actually very weak-hearted.

Wind resistance, gravity, etc., he can barely hear a rough idea, but he has no clue why paper can fall to the ground at the same time as a book, but since those wizards have applauded, he must follow suit!

In the warm applause, the huge airship slowly fell on the sand, and the lively halfling girl stepped on the ladder and tumbled down from the airship, and when she saw that everyone was applauding and welcoming herself, her happy eyes narrowed.

"The first test flight of the Lookout was successful, all the devices inside the airship are normal, and Captain Lydia asks for instructions on the next step!" Lydia trotted all the way to Lynn, pretending to salute, and said proudly.

"There's no next order for the time being, let's get here today!" Lynn replied with a smile.

Lydia was immediately relieved from her captain's state, and spoke excitedly about her experience in the sky, how she had hit a white cloud in an airship, and the mountains in the distance, and the sea as far as the eye could see......

(PS: Today is still two in one 4000 words, the two experiments mentioned in the article, angels have done it before they dare to write, although it is not as high as three hundred meters, and it is not as heavy as an iron ball, but the result is the same, the weight difference of more than ten times the object will land at the same time, as long as the mass of the object is enough, in fact, the air resistance is almost negligible, not to mention that they are the same shape and size (don't use table tennis balls, feather experiments, it's too light) - finally, find a safe place for the experiment, don't throw objects in the air, Not to mention that I taught it!! )
