Chapter 153: Measuring the Circumference of the Planet!
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Thanks to the relentless promotion by the "Magic Daily," news of the pendulum experiment at the symposium and Lynn's plan to measure the circumference of the planet in mid-July quickly spread throughout the entire wizarding world.
This explosive news left countless civilians and wizards awestruck. Nobody had ever imagined that they could measure the circumference of the land and oceans they had taken for granted for so long. After all, the sea was vast, and many had previously believed that this world had no end!
However, Lynn was doing something that everyone believed was impossible and had proposed a logically feasible method. He had even used experiments to prove his planetary theory. Therefore, in a very short time, Lynn, the Society of Mystical Arts, and his planet circumference measurement method became the hottest topics in the wizarding world. Even farmers working the land had to mention it in their conversations to showcase their knowledge.
However, the geocentric theory had deep roots in the wizarding world, and its straightforward, self-centered theory still had many supporters. These people firmly believed that the land beneath their feet could not possibly be round, and all of this was just a magical trick from that wizard from beyond the Misty Sea!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
But whether they agreed or disagreed, they all converged on Greenril, eager to witness this historic moment.
Early in the morning, Kevin and Orlando, who had been invited by Philip, arrived in Greenril by carriage. They were accompanied by Daren and other halflings.
"Look at that pendulum!" Daren exclaimed as soon as he entered the city and saw the enormous swinging iron ball in the city center.
This was the pendulum pointer that the master architect Raphael had recreated with permission from the council and Lynn's authorization. Even the sand table and scale disc below it were identical.
Lynn couldn't help but marvel at how vast this sea was. Along the way, he only saw scattered uninhabited islands.
To increase the rigor of the experiment and provide a beacon for the airship's return, Harof had used magic to erect a stone pillar on a mid-island. He left a wizard there to record data, while the others continued their journey by airship.
"How much time do we have left?" Harof shouted eagerly.
"One minute, the last minute! There are fifty-three seconds left!" Lydia shouted loudly, holding the magic clock.
At this moment, whether on the floating ice island or in Greenril, everyone gazed up at the sun, feeling that this one minute was incredibly long.
With just ten seconds to go, Lynn took out a length of rope and handed the other end to Harof, preparing to measure the shadow of the ice pillar.
The transparent ice pillar glistened in the sunlight, creating a peculiar brilliance.
As an editor for the Magic Daily, Rorl, who had the privilege of riding the airship, stood on the ice, feverishly holding a quill in his hand. He quickly sketched the wide ice island, the towering ice pillar, the descending airship, and Lynn and Harof, who were measuring the shadow length with a rope, on the parchment.
