The auditorium was full of buzz, and the wizards who were well-versed in shaping were especially excited, and Lynn and Sanchez undoubtedly pointed the way for the study of optics.

As long as you deform more creatures, study their ability to perceive light, and even find the so-called photoreceptor cells, and write a summary report, wouldn't that Morning Star Medal be in hand?

"I would have known that I would have specialized in body shaping!" Alok sighed and said, he was better at elementalism and alchemy, and the shape was only barely passable.

It's a pity that the easiest to get the Morning Star medal is about to leave me!

However, Peirce, who is proficient in shaping, is also extremely worried, and if you look around, you can see that there are not too many people competing for this medal, or the relevant magic theories will be piled up in the council in a few weeks, and they may not be able to get their turn.

Glenn and the others on the high platform looked at each other, they did not have much involvement in plastic science, and it was probably difficult for them to catch up with the progress of others in the study of invisible light.

Lynn also took into account the enthusiasm of those non-shaping wizards for optics, and after a pause, continued. "In addition to looking for those invisible lights, you can also start looking at another aspect...... For example, measuring the speed of light! ”

Measuring the speed of light?

Raphael and the others were stunned for a moment, for light, such a ubiquitous and very magical thing, naturally there are many people who are interested, but they can't perceive the 'light element', so it is difficult to observe and measure it.

More than ten years ago, the legendary Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lord Aurora, conducted an experiment in which a wizard was separated from him by a kilometer, and then used magic to reflect light onto another person, measuring the speed of light based on the time of arrival.

However, this thing was so fast that even the reaction speed of the legendary wizard could not detect the slight difference, and in the end, the legendary witch could only guess that the speed of light could exceed a thousand kilometers per second, and it needed to be measured from a greater distance.

However, the second problem that arises is that the light is scattered, and if the distance is too far, the light transmitted will become weaker and weaker, and it is impossible to measure it more accurately...... So much so that some people suspect that the light arrives instantaneously!

However, this experiment has a surprise effect, that is, the speed of sound propagation is successfully measured between 300 and 400 meters, and it fluctuates depending on the region......

Sanchez explained to Lynn in detail the experiments that Speaker Aurora had done to determine the speed of light.

A kilometer? It's too close, and there's a lack of more specialized instruments, so it's normal to fail......

Lynn doesn't know exactly how fast the light is in this world...... But it is definitely not slow, if according to the data of the previous life, the distance of one kilometer is hundreds of thousands of a second, even a legendary wizard cannot be measured simply by reaction speed.

Lynn pondered for a moment, then looked at the wizards in the seminar room. "I already have some ideas for the measurement of the speed of light, but it has not been verified yet, and it will take a few days to prepare, probably after the workshop, and I can't rule out the possibility of failure. During this time, if anyone can accurately measure the speed of light, then I will propose to the Council that he be awarded a Silver Moon Medal! ”

"The Silver Moon Medal? Master Lynn, is this an exaggeration? Sanchez hurriedly interrupted.

There are two conditions for the issuance of the Silver Moon Medal, the first is to present a theory that is sufficient to change a dominant magical system.

At the last seminar, when Lynn proposed the law of gravitation, they had planned to award him a Silver Moon Medal.

It's just that the legendary Speaker Haroff overrode the crowd, coupled with Lynn's calculation of the speed of the planet under his feet, and used experiments to prove that the planet is constantly rotating and revolving around the sun, subverting everyone's view of the world, which won a more glorious Corona Medal!

The second way is to make a significant contribution to the Wizarding Lands or Council.

And now it was only the speed of light, and instead of analyzing the nature of light, he felt that a Morning Star Medal was enough......

"I don't think this is an exaggeration, a legendary wizard in the [Arcane Society] said that compared with optics, the existing magic theory can only be described as simple, even rudimentary, just an elaboration of macroscopic phenomena, and optics is one of the most important keys to revealing the microscopic real world!" Lynn said solemnly.

The speed of light is not the same as the speed of sound, air resistance, gravity, and other things that change with a planet.

It has the same properties, as well as the gravitational constant that Lynn measured before, as well as the absolute zero, Hubble constant, Planck constant, and so on, which have not yet been determined......

These values are not limited to one planet, but are universal to the laws of the universe...... At least within the limits of human visibility and cognition, it is constant!

And the speed of light is particularly important, and many famous formulas cannot do without this constant!

One example of this is the famous mass-energy equation – E=mc^2!

The E on the left represents energy, the m on the right represents mass, and c is the speed of light, this formula contains the mystery of mass and energy conversion, whether it is a nuclear explosion or a more powerful antimatter annihilation, you can use this formula to calculate!

Of course, there is still a question mark over whether the theory of the invariance of the speed of light is common in the world, and these need to be verified by experiments.

Lynn has always wanted to calculate these basic constants, but she has been delaying it because she has focused most of her energy on the war in the kingdom.

It can be said that from the beginning of the study of optics, they can be regarded as opening up a corner of the real world, from the orderly macroscopic realm, to a chaotic and weird microscopic realm.

Even if the Federation in the previous life failed to fully study the quantum theory, even a small gain was enough to accomplish such a feat as an interstellar voyage......

Lynn's overly straightforward words made the wizards present feel a little unacceptable, the wizarding land has developed hundreds of years of magic, but the other party described it as simple and simple, it is really a bit sensational!

"This legendary master of the Esoteric Law Society, shouldn't he be stunned when he was studying the light?" A great wizard in the audience sneered and said, very dissatisfied with Lynn's disdain for the existing magic theory, this element alone is certainly magical, but at best it is just one of the bricks that make up the magic edifice......

The Wizarding Lands' Light Elemental Doctrine has been developed and refined over the decades and has developed a rough framework, but it has not yet been finally verified.
