The symposium lasted for several hours, with sorcerers taking the stage to explain their inventions or theories of magic.

Not to mention the rest, there are three types of perpetual motion machines alone, and it is obvious that wizards are very keen on creating infinite power.

One of the most reliable is the magnetic perpetual motion machine, which uses more than a dozen permanent magnets to provide power, and is expected to be able to be used for more than ten years, but this thing is still vetoed by Lynn.

After all, with these strong magnets, why don't they just use them to build generators?

Wouldn't that be more efficient?

However, the brains of wizards are not always so pitied, after more than a year, the achievements of various magic theories can only be described as blowouts, especially in the fields of Olympiad, mechanics, elements and electromagnetism.

In the course of a few hours, Lynn, Harrov and others had already given six Morning Star medals, knowing that this was only the first day of the seminar.

Sean was the thirty-sixth person to take the stage, and he also presented his own invention - a mechanical pendulum clock for timekeeping!

Today, the timekeeping method used by wizards is still the hourglass method, which is measured according to the time it takes for quicksand to leak from one container to another.

But the difference is that the magic hourglasses made by wizards are filled with a special kind of sand of time that is infused with magical powers.

This thing has two important properties.

The first is that it falls at a rate of ten grains of sand per second within the hourglass of the trait, and the second is that it is especially noticeable under the wizard's unique psychic perception.

This means that wizards only need to touch the hourglass to know the amount of remaining sand through their mental power, and their computing power can also distinguish the moment they are in in a very short time.

Its accuracy can reach about 0.01 second.

The mechanical pendulum clock made by Sean uses the isochronistic principle of a single pendulum.

A pendulum is a device that creates a reciprocating oscillation – one end of the string is suspended from the ceiling, and a small ball is placed at the other end.

Then, as long as an initial force is applied to it, the ball below will begin to oscillate back and forth under the influence of gravity.

Moreover, according to the law he discovered, the time taken for the ball to swing back and forth is only related to the length of the cycloid, and will not be affected by the amplitude of the swing, and this stability becomes the basis for measuring time......

Sean directly dismantled the entire pendulum clock, pointed to the gears, balance, clockwork, and hairspring inside, and explained in detail how it worked.

In short, the force of the pendulum drives the gears, and one rotation represents one minute!

After listening to Sean's description, Lynn understood that this was a relatively rudimentary pendulum clock, probably because it had just been developed, and its structure was very rudimentary.

After casually pointing out a few of the areas that needed to be improved, Lynn smiled and spoke again. "In my opinion, it is better to directly increase the number of gears inside the dial to three, and each revolution of the pinion drives the middle gear to rotate for one moment, and one rotation of the middle gear drives the big gear to rotate for one moment, which I call the second wheel, the minute wheel and the hour wheel!"

Sean paused for a moment, looking surprised, and quickly understood the benefits of doing so, so that he didn't have to count how many turns the dial had turned, and he could see at a glance what the minutes and seconds were in.

"Thank you for your proposal, Speaker Lynn, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of attainment in alchemy." Sean bowed slightly in thanks.

Before, he was in the empire, and all he heard about was how good this magic star's talent was in magic research, but he didn't expect the other party to be so versatile.

"In fact, Speaker Lynn is the most skilled wizard in the entire wizarding world, and my title as a magical creator has long been undeserved." Vittorio, who was on the judge's seat, said with shame.

Lynn, who has created airships, warplanes, magic trains, and steel giants in just a few years, is more suitable for the name of a magical creator.

The self-developed Yang Yan Cannon is certainly very sharp, but it is just picking up people's teeth and using alchemy to reproduce the [Finality-Atomic Breath].

"Actually, my alchemy is very ordinary, at best, I only have some experience in engineering research." Lynn shook his head and smiled, knowing full well that he was just taking advantage of his knowledge.

Even if he didn't warn, Sean was able to perfect it thoroughly through refinement.

Lynn quickly skipped the topic and instead discussed with Haroff and the others whether he should be nominated for the Order of the Morning Star.

This new way of timing is very optimistic about several people.

Although its accuracy is not as good as that of the magic clock, its greatest value is that it does not require magic power, which means that even ordinary civilians can use it, and the structure is not complicated, which is extremely popular.

This is a model of using gravitational potential energy, which is much more reliable than those so-called perpetual motion machines.

Lynn also nodded, this pendulum clock has a deeper meaning than its function, representing the innovation of the chronograph mechanism.

After gradually deepening the research target into the microscopic field, the magic hourglass with an accuracy of only tenths of a second is a bit insufficient, and must be accurate to one thousandth of a second, or even one ten-thousandth of a second.

The wizard in front of him named Sean may be a good researcher of a new type of timer.

In view of this, Lynn was not stingy with the reward, and directly awarded the other party a Morning Star Medal.

Sean stood flattered and stood in place, watching the magic star bring the medal to him, his face flushed with excitement, he had never enjoyed such respectful treatment!

After bowing again to express his gratitude, Sean sat down again in the envy of everyone, and several wizards next to him took the initiative to talk to him enthusiastically.

"Then the next one is Master Sanchez's light particle scattering experiment." Harrov glanced at the list in his hand and read it out.

Hearing this, the wizards present were shocked, and they understood that this was the focus of this academic seminar.

The doctrinal dispute over the particles of light and the wave has been going on for months, and it is not as simple as a battle of theories, but of a corona medal, and no one can give it up.

In front of the crowd, Sanchez got up and walked to the booth, bowed to the speakers, and then expounded his theory of light particles.

This is the same as the previous papers published in the [Magic Daily], and its fundamental argument is that light is made up of particles, and there are very many of them, even if it is a beam with a diameter of 0.1 mm, it contains hundreds of millions of light particles!

As he spoke, Sanchez raised his right hand and created a small red translucent magic ball in his palm, with a large number of mimic elements surging inside, in order to simulate the existence of photoelectrons.

At that moment, a wizard who supported the Wave Theory suddenly interrupted Sanchez with a sneer.

"Wait, Master Sanchez, you just said that light is electricity, electricity is light, and even thought that electricity is made up of finer light particles......"

"A candle that can be lit can continue to glow, does that mean that the candle can continue to produce electricity?"

In the huge conference room, there was a burst of laughter, and the candles naturally could not be used to generate electricity...... But some people didn't laugh, and Sanchez certainly didn't either, but sighed helplessly.

"I wonder if you're a wizard of the kingdom or an empire?"

"I'm from the Iron City of Celtord...... the wizard said, grimacing.

Sertod was an important city in the eastern part of the kingdom that was 'reconquered' relatively late, having been under the rule of the great nobles.

It is a lower-middle level in the implicit division of wizards.

Although everyone is a wizard, there are still prejudices against each other.

For example, wizards born in the land of wizards look down on wizards born in the kingdom, believing that they are a group of barbarians who have not received a systematic magical education, while wizards in the kingdom look down on wizards in the empire......

Even if the parliament is deliberately trying to eliminate regional differences, such contradictions will inevitably arise.

Sanchez also sensed that his words might cause some misunderstanding, and hurriedly shook his head and said. "Anyway, I suggest you buy a copy of Master Arad's book [The Nature of Flame], and then take a good look at Speaker Lynn's [On the Internal Structure of the Elements, Models of Electron Orbitals], so as not to ask such a stupid question again."

"What is fire? It is the oxidation reaction that takes place during the combustion of the substance, and if the temperature is sufficient, it is a mass of high-temperature plasma......"

"And electrons exist inside every element, and I thought everyone should know this common sense......

Sanchez looked at the wizard with disdain, let alone a candle, theoretically the temperature is enough, and all matter can be ionized!

Hearing this, the wizards who were still laughing just now were embarrassed, and the male wizard who opened his mouth was even more dumbfounded.

After Sánchez explained, he ignored the ignorant and continued to talk about his particle theory, using the small hole imaging that Glenn had just demonstrated as a basis.

Thanks to the efforts of the apprentices, a simple laboratory bench was quickly built.

There are only three things on it.

On the left is a candle, in the center is a partition with a small hole, and on the right is a stone wall.

Sánchez lit the candle, and a spot of light in the form of a candle flame immediately appeared on the stone wall opposite, but it was upside down.

"We can imagine that the light emitted by the candle flame is made up of countless points of light. Since the diameter of the firework is larger than the hole, the light emitted by the upper part of the candle flame will shine on the bottom of the wall through the small hole in a straight line, and the light emitted by the lower part of the candle flame will shine on the top of the stone wall, and all the light spots will combine to form an inverted candle flame! ”

"If it were a wave, it would not be possible for it to appear like such a clear image of being upside down, completely opposite in appearance and size!" Sanchez spoke loudly. "So there is no doubt that light is a microparticle that travels in a straight line!"

Sanchez's voice echoed through the halls, and the wizards present looked at the candle shadows on the stone wall and discussed.

"And how do you explain the interference and diffraction of light?" Jeffrey, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but speak, and when he asked, it was the dead knot of the particle faction.

"That's exactly what I'm going to do next!" A mocking smile appeared on Sanchez's lips. "With a simple simulation, everything is clear!"

Sanchez had the candle removed and replaced the middle bezel with a double-slit one, and then created a blue glowing elemental cluster on his left hand.

"Now I'm assuming they're photoelectrons!"

Sanchez held up two elemental clusters, one red and one blue, and under the gaze of everyone, shot them towards the two gaps in the baffle!

After these two particle elements hit a hole with a smaller diameter, the protective film on the outside burst open, and the magical mimic elements inside began to spread in all directions.

Since there were two blast sources at the same time, and they were very close together, many of the scattered red and blue elements quickly collided and fused together, becoming more powerful.

The wizard in the front row slammed to his feet, his eyes fixed on the stone wall.

The red-green mimic elements hit the wall, leaving a striking crater, and after about three seconds, the results were already out, and the scattered elements were concentrated in several areas, forming nine stripes formed by the impact craters.

The middle of these stripes is not without the presence of potholes, but there are relatively few of them.

"Interference fringes, this is interference fringes!" Sean shouted in shock.

More and more people are responding to the fact that if these craters are compared to scattered light particles, the densely populated areas are the brightest areas, and the rest of the places are relatively dark.

In other words, even if the light is a particle beam, light interference and diffraction can occur!

Realizing this, the wizards who supported the theory of light particles were very excited, and Sanchez's experiment undoubtedly eliminated the biggest obstacle to particle theory, and for a while cheers and applause resounded in the exhibition hall.

The Grand Wizard Arad even read out the results directly, shouting loudly. "This is the triumph of particle theory!"

Sanchez triumphantly turned his gaze to Jeffrey and Anthony.

"I have to say, this explanation is very clever, Sanchez!" Anthony couldn't help but sigh.

He had read the photoelectron explosion theory proposed by Sanchez, but he didn't expect the other party to actually get this experiment out, although it was only the experimental result of a mimic photon.

"I'm sorry you gave up on the right path, Anthony." Sanchez said with a chuckle. "It's too late to repent!"

Anthony shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity that this theory is wrong!"

Seeing that Anthony was still obsessed, Sanchez frowned dissatisfiedly, but before he could reply, Anthony spoke again and said categorically.

"Because I've found the essence of light, it's actually ...... It's an electromagnetic wave! ”
