I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 337 - 325: Light only needs one second to circle the continent seven and a half times!

Chapter 337: Chapter 325: Light only needs one second to circle the continent seven and a half times!

Under Lynn’s explanation, the assembled wizards finally realized what was happening, staring at the constantly rotating gear with faces full of horror.

This gear actually blocked all the light elements trying to pass through the gaps, without exception!

“This isn’t magic!” Yasosi and the others exclaimed in disbelief.

The occurrence of such an eerie phenomenon directly proved that the speed of light was not infinite! Otherwise, each ray of light passing through the gaps would have instantly returned, and it would have been impossible for them to be blocked…

“It’s feasible, this method is really feasible!” Glenn muttered to himself.

Just as Lynn had said, they had already succeeded half the way; now, they just needed to continue increasing the speed, and the returning light would gradually move backward, surpassing the blocking gears, and reaching the next gap!

...

“What is the current rotational speed?” Rafael asked eagerly.

“It’s twenty-five rounds per second!” Lydia reported loudly.

“Keep speeding it up, even faster!” Rafael shouted.

Lydia glanced at Lynn and then, following the commands, increased the power of the internal combustion engine. The speed of the gear immediately went up several notches, a description only possible with exaggeration, and a fierce noise erupted by everyone’s ears.

So much so that spectators like Ailoke were somewhat concerned that the thing might suddenly break apart.

When the acceleration reached thirty-five rotations per second, the spots of light still had not appeared, but the gear’s speed was already nearing its limit!

Although Lynn had them reduce the gear spacing to 0.5 centimeters, even so, the gear’s circumference had reached an impressive over seven meters, and maintaining such high rotation speeds could collapse at any moment!

“Stand back, I’ll take over!” Harrov stepped forward and directly cut off the power provided by the internal combustion engine, instead using magic to instantly accelerate the gear to over forty rotations!

To ensure accuracy, Harrov did not increase the speed too hastily, but rather increased it at a steady rate…

When the roulette’s speed exceeded fifty-two rounds per second, every wizard present could clearly see light spots reemerging on the half-lens!

This indicated that the light passing through the first gap had already reflected back from the second gap!

Just as everyone was cheering in joy, the whole roulette exploded, and the splattered fragments flew in all directions like the sharpest daggers!

Screams erupted from the crowd, but fortunately, Harrov did not allow another experiment accident to occur. These flying roulette fragments, much like plunging into a bog, slowed down under the effect of the Slow Barrier, eventually hovering mid-air.

“What was the speed just now, Lord Chairman?” Rafael asked excitedly.

“It was fifty-two rounds per second!” Harrov confirmed confidently.

This figure could not be mistaken!

Rafael immediately calculated it in his mind.

Seven hundred and twenty teeth times eight kilometers times a speed of fifty-two rounds, that is…

Two hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred twenty kilometers per second!

As this figure was calculated, a look of disbelief formed on the wizards’ faces, and they even doubted whether they had made a miscalculation.

That was too fast…

No wonder they had been unable to detect the trajectory of light in their prior measurements.

“Doesn’t this mean that light can make seven and a half circles around the Eternal Star in just one second?” Witch Nancy suddenly realized.

The circumference of the continent they were standing on was only forty thousand kilometers.

“Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?” Sanchez furrowed his brow, nearly three hundred thousand kilometers per second, which in their understanding was almost instantaneous.

“Only such a fast speed is sufficient to travel through the vast universe…” Aurora reminded.

For example, from the Sun to this Eternal Star, the nearest point is about 140 million kilometers, and even at the speed of light, it takes more than eight minutes!

However, in the face of such distances and speeds, even these legendary wizards felt as insignificant as dust…

“So, every day we see the Sun as it appeared several minutes ago!” Lydia calculated with her fingers and suddenly came to a stunning conclusion.

The wizards of the Prophecy School like Yoland suddenly thought that they might be able to measure the distances between various planets and themselves through the speed of light, which would serve as a cosmic ruler and provide them with an excellent reference to easily calculate previously difficult-to-assess data.

Of course, this premise required them to calculate the speed of light in cosmic vacuum first…

While all the wizards were amazed by the terrifying speed of light, Lynn was thinking about another matter.

The speeds of light in the two worlds were so closely matched…

Lynn pondered silently in his mind. If the data in the smart brain were not incorrect, the speed of light measured in his previous life was two hundred ninety-nine thousand seven hundred ninety-two kilometers per second. The slight difference could likely be attributed to measurement precision issues…

Could this prove that the two worlds existed within the same universe?

This was not an impossible notion, even though in his previous lifetime, the federation had no occurrence of magic power. But humanity had not even completely mastered the small solar system. It was like living in a desert, assuming the vast expanse of sand was the entire world.

Yet, the universe’s vastness was far beyond anyone’s imagination. Perhaps in some galaxy in the universe, there existed a miraculous substance known as magic power, or perhaps energy?

Of course, the similarities between the two worlds were too great, and it was also possible that they were from another Earth in a parallel universe…

However, these guesses were obviously not something that could be verified at the moment. Lynn did not spend too much effort on this, instead using gears of different tooth counts already prepared to try the experiment several more times to verify its accuracy.

Some variation in the final data appeared, approximately a few hundred meters apart.

For this outcome, the wizards present were all incredibly satisfied; considering the monumental scale of light speed, it was simply not significant.

Some even speculated that, like the speed of sound, light might vary in speed in different regions, which is why there were variations in the data from several measurements.

Only Lynn himself was slightly dissatisfied; the more accurate the determination of light speed, the better. However, with the current rudimentary conditions, it was simply not possible to produce more precise instruments for a while. What could be done was only the use of gears and octagonal mirrors, which, while convenient and easy to use, inevitably had some minor inaccuracies.
