Chapter 145 Enter the Sekas Empire and overthrow the Holy See?
"Ailok, it shouldn't be difficult for you to calculate the data of the planet under your feet now?" Lynn looked at several wizard apprentices and asked with a smile.
Ai Luoke and others nodded excitedly, only then did they realize that when the professor taught the first class, what he said was not bragging, the Olympiad is true and he can calculate anything!
Once you know the circumference of a planet, it is easy to calculate the radius, area, and even volume.
The wizards in the seminar couldn't restrain their inner excitement. Now there are only ten days left until mid-July...
That is to say, after ten days, the continent under their feet... no, it should be said that the whole picture of this planet will be displayed in front of them.
"I really don't know how your head is so long that you can think of such a strange method!" Raphael said with emotion.
Before Lin En arrived, although there was no systematic subject of Olympiad in the Land of Wizards, most wizards still knew the calculation methods of basic geometric figures, but they never thought that they could calculate The circumference of the planet underfoot.
I'm afraid this is genius...
Facing the praise from everyone, Lynn was very calm. After all, this method was not thought up by himself. It was the idea of the former [Father of Geography] Eratosthenes, which was based on the land of wizards. Things have changed a bit.
When searching for historical materials in the previous life, Lynn was also amazed by the other party's genius thinking that day. This is simply using basic methods to solve the most complicated problems!
"Are there any requirements for the place where this column is placed?" Harov couldn't wait to verify this conjecture. If it weren't for the fact that there were still ten days until mid-July, he would have liked to act now.
"The ground should be as flat as possible, at least 500 kilometers away from Greenriel. For more accurate data, it's better to be more than 1,000 kilometers away!" Lynn said in a deep voice. "After all, the continent under our feet is too big. A scale may be tens or hundreds of kilometers. It is better to be as far away as possible. The pillars should be as high as possible so that the shadows are clear enough."
So far away... Harov frowned involuntarily.
In this way, I am afraid that it is impossible to verify in the land of wizards.
"There is a very suitable place. I heard that there is also a tower hundreds of meters high in the sea of mist. This is a ready-made column." August suddenly suggested.
The wizards present were a little surprised, guessing what Augst was talking about.
Philip on the side suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said in shock. "Master August, you are not talking about the Sky Tower in the Holy City, are you?"
Although he has never been to the Sekas Empire, he also heard Heran Ram and the sailors who went back and forth between the two places talk about some new and wonderful things in the sea of mist, including this sky tower.
It is rumored that it is the place where the creator of life, the lord of the stars, and the goddess of the moon [Ayla] manifested. It is a holy place in the minds of all believers.
Philip naturally scoffed at this so-called god, but he was also aware of the power possessed by the Holy See. If they went to the Holy City to measure the shadow length of the Sky Tower, it would be impossible to describe it as death. If you can't get through the gate, you will be arrested and burned to death.
However, there are not many rational people like Philip, and many young wizards even clamored to go directly to the holy city.
In their view, the land of wizards today is no longer the refuge for the exiled wizards.
After hundreds of years of development, they have created countless novel magics, established a wizard promotion system and a magic theory system, powerful beyond imagination!
The pictures of the stars that Lin En told them made the wizards realize that the world is so big, but they are trapped in this small wizarding land...
But Harov quickly poured cold water on it. "We only have ten days. Even if we start now, we may not be able to reach the Sky Tower at the fastest speed."
"And there is no need to make it so troublesome. We can directly use magic to create a floating ice island on the sea, and erect an icicle on it, so that the calculated data will be the most accurate!"
The side of the Land of Wizards facing the Sekas Empire is a sea of mist, but this does not mean that the entire island is wrapped in mist. In fact, the sea behind is passable.
It's just that the sea is too wide. There was once a great wizard who wanted to see what was on the other side of the sea. After flying for a month, he only found some uninhabited islands and ferocious sea beasts. He almost couldn't find the way back. .
Under Harov's decision, public opinion did not eventually evolve to the point where it entered the Sekas Empire and overthrew the Holy See.
Although Harov's floating island plan seemed to some wizards to be afraid of the Holy See's "cowardly" approach, they did not dare to speak out against it. The focus of discussion soon turned to how to determine the corona tower and pillars distance.
A witch quickly suggested that they could find a very long rope and measure the length as a unit of length, and then leave a trace on the ground as a mark every time they passed the distance of the rope. Just count how many markers there are.
But this proposal was rejected not long after, because it was too troublesome, not to mention that the terrain of the wizard's land is undulating, and there will be great errors.
After a heated discussion, the more convenient carriage and ship distance measurement method soon gained the upper hand.
"How about using an airship?" Lydia raised her hands high and suggested.
Raphael and the others suddenly felt their eyes light up. He wanted to say this just now, but Lydia brought it up first.
Compared to the alchemy ship that will be disturbed by wind and waves, the airship suspended in the air is undoubtedly a better choice.
Not only can it overcome all obstacles and achieve a real straight line, but after adding windproof magic, the speed of sailing is also very stable, and it is not easy to fluctuate.
If sailing at full speed, the airship can sail 15 kilometers per hour, then sailing at full speed is 360 kilometers a day, and judging the distance based on this is still very accurate...
Lin En did not participate in the discussion of the crowd, turned his head to look at the wizards of the prophecy school, and asked with a smile. "Mr. Yolande, do you have any questions now?"
Yolande was dumbfounded and did not reply, his mind was full of the method proposed by Lynn to calculate the circumference by dividing the circle into equal parts.
Although no accurate results have been drawn yet, he understands that the School of Prophecy has lost this time, and it has lost completely!
