Chapter 154: The Great Idea of Traveling Around the World (Subscription Requested)
"I figured it out, I figured it out! The radius of the planet is 7,200 kilometers! ”
"Nonsense, it should be 6,875 kilometers!"
……
Because the calculated values were so large, similar arguments soon rang out in all corners of Greenriel, and after repeated arguments and disputes, the data on the circumference, diameter, and radius of the planet soon appeared on paper.
And the surface area of the planet is a terrifying figure that everyone expected, 594 million square kilometers!
Many people don't realize until this moment that the planet beneath their feet is so vast!
In his heart, he had the idea that the world was so big that I wanted to see it.
According to the circumference data just calculated, driving the best alchemy ship in the Wizarding Lands will only take three months to circumnavigate for a week under the best circumstances!
However, when he brought up this idea, it caused ridicule from everyone.
The vastness and danger of the sea is beyond the imagination of a man like Ali who has not had the slightest experience in sailing.
Even the most experienced sailors can die on a fishing trip if they hit a strong wind and waves, not to mention the ferocious sea beasts.
"What if it's an airship?" Instead of being crushed by the ridicule of the crowd, Ali came up with a new idea, and since it was dangerous to cross the sea, it might be possible to start from the air.
Hearing Yali's words, the people with mocking and mocking expressions suddenly fell silent, because they suddenly felt that although Yali's proposal was crazy, it was undeniable that it did have some possibilities.
Flying around the planet is a feat that will go down in the history of magic!
"Maybe we can fly in the opposite direction, doesn't the [Magic Daily] say that the continent beneath our feet is constantly spinning from west to east? As long as we set out from the east and fly westward, wouldn't it be a day to come back? The tall and thin wizard said proudly, but he didn't notice that the people around him were looking at him, all of them looked at him with stupid expressions.
If it was that easy, they would have run from the east side of Greenriel to the west side of Greenrill the moment they jumped!
An alchemist shook his head and splashed cold water after a half-mutter. "I don't think it's possible to accomplish such a grand feat even with an airship, and if you don't know where to go, it won't be long before you're lost in the sea, and maybe you'll be attacked by wurms, feathered serpents, or harpies."
However, this time, many people jumped out to support Yali's grand idea, such as proposing that several magic crystal cannons could be set up on the airship to resist the invasion of flying demonic beasts, and for example, judging the direction and position through the guidance of the stars......
Everyone was talking about it, but Yali himself was deflated, because he suddenly thought that how could a civilian like himself get an alchemy airship of his own.
In the city square not far from this, Raphael stared at the wizards who were arguing fiercely about the rights and wrongs of the data, and even fought because of contradictory theories, and said with great emotion.
"Greenriel, it's been a long time since it's been so lively!"
Since Lynn came to this ancient wizarding city, it seems to have injected new vitality into the city, refreshing their perception of the world every day, and even allowing some civilians to participate in academic discussions.
It was the first time he had seen a wizard discussing a magical doctrine with civilians like this!
……
The hustle and bustle of Greenriel City lasted for a long time, and it was not until two days later, when the returning airship appeared in the sky above the city, that the atmosphere reached its highest point.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in the streets and squares, excitedly waiting for the airship to land.
As the airship slowly lowered its altitude, everyone was looking forward to it, and some children even naughtily climbed onto the roof, looking farther away.
Lydia, who was the first to step off the airship, waved her hand happily when she saw the crowd of people in the city square who had come to greet them.
Darren and the other halflings also shouted excitedly.
"Lydia, I knew you could do it!" "Lydia, you are the pride of a halfling! Our heroes! ”
The voices soon came from all corners of the square, and although the halflings were considered a minority in the entire wizarding land, there were thousands of people together, squeezing to the front by virtue of their physical advantages, shouting Lydia's name in unison.
"A halfling who doesn't know magic? How did she get on the airship? Several of the wizards of Greenriel who had arrived from the western town of the Wizarding Lands frowned when they saw Lydia step down from the airship.
Measuring the circumference of the planet, at such a sacred moment, why do you have to bring a halfling who is ignorant and can't learn magic?
Hearing this, Darren and the others were immediately unhappy, and said quite angrily. "What do you know? Lydia is now Lord Lynn's apprentice, and all the core components of this airship are made by Lydia herself, and no one knows how to fly an airship better than her! ”
Several male wizards were a little incredulous, no school in the history of the wizarding lands would accept a halfling as an apprentice, after all, it is an indisputable fact that halflings have no magical talent, and some shapings even contemptuously refer to halflings as a group that is disgusted by magic.
As a result, the halfling group is not welcomed in some cities in the Wizarding Lands.
And that Lynn from the Misty Sea was willing to recruit a halfling as an apprentice, and let the other party participate in the production process of such an exquisite alchemy creation as an airship, which made several people feel very surprised, and even secretly wondered if that adult had any special hobbies.
"Isn't it possible for a wizard to join the School of Iyeta and become Lord Lynn's apprentice?" Ari spoke excitedly, and the civilians who also aspired to become wizards looked eagerly at Darren.
"Lydia, of course, is the best example of this!" Darren said proudly, then thought about it, and hurriedly added. "But it has to be very, very smart!"
Very, very smart? Ari hesitated for a moment, feeling that he was afraid that he would not be able to meet this standard, but he still looked at Lynn who had just stepped off the airship with a glimmer of hope.
At the first glance of Lynn, Yali felt young, too young!
Maybe not even twenty years old.
But it is such a male wizard who is a few years younger than himself, but he has put forward the great idea of calculating planetary data, and put it into action, and has achieved proud results.
At this moment, Lynn was having a good conversation with Harrov, a legendary wizard, and even if the two could not be heard from a long distance, Ali could guess that they must be discussing a deeper philosophy of magic.
However, all this was just his fantasy, and in fact, Lynn was telling Haroff about Newton's feud with Apple......
