Chapter 73 Touch the clouds in the sky!
"It's unbelievable that this thing actually flies!"
If the soaring airship was particularly surprising to the wizard, then it was a shock to the onlookers!
Because Lydia and the others knew each other, a noisy halfling who always liked to tinker with weird things.
The most important thing is that, like all the ordinary townspeople present, she does not know magic at all.
Now, Lydia is in front of them, driving something bigger than a house, flying straight into the sky, doing something that even many wizards can't do!
"Dad, can I fly into the sky in the future?" The boy who climbed up the sculpture and touched the airship just now looked at the man in the gray robe and asked excitedly.
"What are you thinking? I'm sure some wizard must have secretly cast magic on the airship..." The man in the gray robe didn't believe that a halfling could fly by himself. In the land of wizards, all miracles It is the power of magic.
"Who said it was magic?" Darren was not happy when he heard this, and corrected him angrily. "I guarantee that every part of this airship is made by us halflings, without using a little bit of magic!"
"When Lydia comes down from the sky, you can also go to the airship to take a look..."
"As long as you pay ten silver coins, anyone can take an airship and slip around in the sky. I heard from Lord Lynn that this thing can fly very high, even higher than many clouds. I can touch the clouds in the sky." Darren said very proudly.
Can fly higher than clouds?
The children in the square could not help looking up at the sky, seeing the huge airship getting farther and farther away from them, and imagining what it would be like to touch the cloud. It is so white, it must be as soft as sheep's wool, right?
The rest of the townspeople are also a little tempted. Such a huge alchemy machine must be expensive to build. It only costs ten silver coins to fly around the sky. It doesn't seem very expensive...
You must know that it is the sky!
At the same time, Lydia was standing on a special chair at a height of several hundred meters, looking down, seeing that the dense crowd in the square was getting farther and farther away from her, turning into small dots, and finally the entire harbor The whole picture of the city was presented in front of her.
Everything is so small, like the wooden models she put in the workshop, as if they could be crushed with one foot.
"Is this the feeling of flying into the sky? It's amazing!" Lydia looked around, and excitedly looked at the mountains and the vast sea in the distance.
Although she also ascended to the sky in a simple aircraft more than ten days ago, the height was only about tens of meters, and she did not dare to be distracted at all.
Unlike now, the airship can be suspended in the air spontaneously without her control at all, and she can do whatever she wants here.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the originally stable airship shook slightly in the wind.
People who fly into the sky for the first time often feel a kind of unreasonable fear in their hearts, but Lydia is not afraid at all. Instead, she bravely climbed to the edge of the airship, spread her arms, and faced the strong wind, humming The screams of cheers vented the excitement in my 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 on her seat. Holding the rudder, she drove the airship directly towards the cloud. rushed over!
The huge airship collided head-on into the cloud and passed through it. Lydia's eyes were covered in white, and her cheeks and arms were wet. It felt like standing by the sea and being blown by the melodious sea breeze.
"It must be a happy cloud!" Lydia said with a smile.
While playing around, the halfling girl did not forget the task Lynn gave her. After driving the airship for a circle, she hovered over the square again, and then pulled the wrench next to her.
The wooden planks at the bottom of the airship immediately bounced off, and the two **** inside, whose mass differed by dozens of times, fell from the cabin, but due to the constraints of the ropes, they hovered in the air again, constantly swinging from side to side, pulling the airship slightly tilted.
Immediately afterwards, the halfling girl pulled the alchemy eyepiece to her eyes, poked her head out, and waited for Lynn's gestures and orders.
This eyepiece is the only magic item she carries. It has a long-sighted spell solidified on it, which can make her gaze as sharp as a griffin, and she can clearly see Professor Lynn in the crowd from a distance of two kilometers.
…
"It seems that the next issue of Magic Weekly will be a hit!"
Ten minutes ago, Luo Er, who was in the square, drew the picture with great satisfaction, and added his own feelings at the bottom. He already had a rough expectation for the sales of the newspaper in his heart.
Lin En took a closer look, and there were three pictures drawn on the papyrus, which were pictures of Lydia boarding the airship, cutting the rope, 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 is no different from that of a humanoid printer. No wonder the other party can become a commissioner of "Magic Weekly".
After such a delay, the airship has already flown into the sky, and it looks like a small dot from this side.
"It's too high!" Theodore raised his head and looked at the airship that was still climbing into the sky in astonishment. At first he thought that even if this thing could fly up to a height of a few hundred meters, he didn't want to take this After a while, the height of the airship has already exceeded two thousand meters.
Fortunately, the difficulty of practicing farsightedness magic is not high. Most of the wizards present know it, so they can still see clearly even at such a long distance.
The airship stopped after rising to a height of 2,500 meters, and then used the thrust of the steam to drive the propeller at the rear of the cabin, slowly moving forward.
It can not only fly, but also drive, and it is very stable!
"This height is probably beyond the attack range of most magic." Tik looked at the floating airship from a distance, his expression became a little dignified.
In a sense, this thing is a weapon of war. Two magic crystal cannons can be hung on it to carry out ultra-distance attacks.
If 20 airships equipped with magic crystal cannons attacked the harbor of Iyeta by air, without the intervention of the great wizard Herram, the entire city would undoubtedly be reduced to ruins.
"It's really an exquisite design, perfect and terrifying..." Herram knew this very well, turned his head to look at Lynn, and asked again. "The design of this airship should not be completed recently, right?"
If half a month ago, Lydia made a crude aircraft that could be seen as a shoddy experimental product at a glance, then this airship is now a finished product.
It is very stable from take-off to floating to driving, and the appearance design is also very elegant. It should be a very complete technology.
"Yes, this airship was designed by me and a few friends from the [Secret Society], but it is difficult to find a suitable place for experimental flying in the Sekas Empire." Lynn explained, and by the way, The little one took the wizard land a wave.
The wizards present nodded in agreement. In the Sekas Empire, wizards were all hunted down, so how could they dare to conduct flying experiments in such an open manner.
"Since you have never tried it, why are you sure it can fly?" Tick asked in confusion.
"Of course it's because I've done the calculations in advance using the Mathematical Olympiad!" Lynn said bluntly. "As long as you know all the data and go through precise calculations, it's impossible to make mistakes!"
Before conducting this flight experiment, he had already roughly verified that the gravity of this planet is almost the same as that of the earth by weighing objects of different masses.
Now the height of the airship's ascent is also the same as he predicted, and all these data can be deduced in advance through the Mathematical Olympiad.
"Olympiad..." Tik murmured this term that he had never understood before. It seems that this time, in addition to issuing official wizard medals, it is also necessary to have a good understanding of this thing called Olympiad. He feels that this is very important for alchemy. Should be very important.
Professors such as Kevin and Philip think that what Lynn said is a bit too absolute. Could it be that the so-called Olympiad can really calculate everything?
However, there is no way to refute this, because the airship in front of him is the best proof!
Roll took out a pen again and wrote down Lynn's words, and prepared to put them in bold and bold as a title on one of the pages of Magic Weekly.
"Master Heran Ram, can you please use magic to temporarily turn this square into sand?" Lynn stared at the sky for a while, then suddenly said.
"Sure, but can you tell me the reason?" Herlam asked puzzled.
"The height is enough now. I'm going to take this opportunity to do an experiment. If it's flat, I'm afraid there will be more movement!" Lynn said freely.
"Experiment?" Hellam paused for a moment, but quickly realized what Lynn was talking about, and immediately used the amplification magic to order everyone present to retreat 25 meters, leaving a spacious enough space in the middle. vacancy.
A great wizard personally spoke, and no one dared to disobey. The townspeople present moved back one after another, and a circular area with a radius of 25 meters was quickly set aside in the center of the originally crowded square.
Helram first released a large magic barrier to avoid accidents, and then cast the spell again. The solid floor tiles in front of him quickly cracked under the action of magic power, and finally were decomposed into countless fine grains of sand...
Lin En took advantage of this opportunity to turn his head to look at the wizards and townspeople gathered in the square, using the principle of sound wave transmission to increase his volume.
"Everyone, I think you have all heard of my law of free fall and planetary theory more or less in the past half month.
I believe that many of you must have doubts about this, thinking that it is an absurd assumption, a lie to flatter the public, how could the continent be round, and how could a piece of iron and a stone fall to the ground at the same time.
But I have to say something here, don't be fooled by the appearance of things. The phenomena you usually see are all caused by wind resistance. In fact, if the factor of air resistance is eliminated, the speed of an object's free fall is different from Weight or shape has nothing to do with it! "
"Are you questioning Master Yade's theory?" In the crowd, a young wizard interrupted.
The falling speed of an object is directly proportional to its weight, and it will also be affected by the difference in shape. This is almost common sense. There are too many examples in reality to prove that Master Yade's conclusion is correct.
"Then we might as well make a bet." Lynn raised his voice a little.
"Ten minutes later, I will ask Lydia to lower the airship to about 300 meters, and then drop a hollow wood and iron ball from the sky at the same time!"
"The difference in weight is dozens of times! But I bet that the two **** will hit the ground at the same moment, and the interval will never exceed one second!"
"The bet is tentatively set at three magic gold 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. It is not a small amount for a wizard, but it is not to the point of heartache.
The young wizard threw three gold coins over without thinking much.
Hollow wood is just like its name, it is the lightest wood known, if Lin En is not lying, according to Master Yade's theory, the falling speed of the iron ball must be much faster than the wooden ball.
There are not a few people who think like him, so in just a few minutes, more than 20 wizards participated in this game, and Luo Er was no exception. He had deep doubts about this theory.
Many townspeople are also ready to move, but not many dare to participate in the gamble of the wizard.
"What about you? Are you going to give it a try?" Lynn turned his head and looked at the students in the Mathematical Olympiad class behind him, and asked jokingly.
Pierce and the others shook their heads quickly, and Eloque couldn't help shivering. When the professor opened a gamble last time, he almost lost a fortune comparable to the entire port of Iyeta.
In the blink of an eye, sixty-nine magic gold coins were obtained, and Lin En was also a little emotional. Sure enough, it is impossible to get rich if you die with a salary.
However, he used the airship to conduct free fall experiments not only to make money, but more importantly to justify his theory!
Although on the first day he came to the Iyeta harbor, he confirmed this in the vacuum field created by Herram in the academy.
But it is too difficult to create a vacuum environment, and only great wizards can do it, so this conclusion is limited to a small-scale spread, and most people prefer to believe what they see in front of them.
So Lynn is going to take advantage of today to thoroughly prove this theory with an experiment that no one can refute!
