MTL - I Made Scientific Magic-Chapter 316 The basic constant of the universal universe!

  Chapter 316 The basic constant of the universal universe!

   There was an endless stream of discussions in the auditorium, and those wizards who were proficient in shaping were particularly excited. Lynn and Sanchez undoubtedly pointed out the direction for the study of optics.

   As long as you deform some creatures, study their ability to perceive light, or even dissect the so-called photoreceptor cells, and write a summary report, wouldn't you get the Morning Star Medal?

   "If I knew it earlier, I would have gone to study shaping!" Eloque said with a sigh. He is better at elements and alchemy, and shaping is barely a passing level.

  Unfortunately, the Morning Star Medal, which is the easiest to obtain, is about to leave me!

However, Pierce, who is proficient in plastic surgery, is also extremely sad. Just look around and you will know that there are not too many people competing for this medal. In a few weeks, related magic theories will fill the parliament, and it may not be possible to take turns. get yourself.

  Glenn and the others on the high platform looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't have much experience in shaping, and it might be difficult to keep up with others' progress in the research of invisible light.

  Lin En also considered the enthusiasm of those non-plastic school wizards for optics, paused, and continued. "In addition to looking for those invisible light rays, you can also start research from another aspect... such as measuring the speed of light!"

   Measure the speed of light?

Raphael and the others were taken aback for a moment. Naturally, many people are interested in the ubiquitous and magical thing like light, but they cannot perceive the 'light element', so it is difficult to observe it and measure.

  More than ten years ago, the legendary speaker, Aurora, conducted an experiment in which a wizard was separated from himself by one kilometer, and then used magic to reflect light to another person, and the speed of light was measured based on the arrival time.

However, this thing is so fast that even the legendary wizard's reaction speed can't detect this tiny difference. In the end, the legendary witch can only guess that the speed of light may exceed 1,000 kilometers per second, and it needs to be carried out from a farther distance. Determination.

But this creates the second problem, that is, light will scatter, and if the distance is too far, the transmitted light will become weaker and weaker, making it impossible to make more accurate measurements... so that some people suspect that the light arrives instantaneously !

  However, this experiment has an unexpected harvest, that is, it has successfully measured that the propagation speed of sound is between 300 and 400 meters, and it will fluctuate according to different regions...

   Sanchez explained to Lynn in detail the experiment of measuring the speed of light that Speaker Aurora had done.

   One kilometer? It is indeed too close, and there is a lack of more professional equipment, so it is normal to fail...

Lynn still doesn't know the exact speed of light in this world...but it's definitely not too slow. According to the data from his previous life, the distance of one kilometer is one hundred thousandth of a second. Even a legendary wizard can It cannot be measured solely on the basis of reaction speed.

  Lin En pondered for a while, and looked at the wizards in the seminar. "I already have some ideas about the measurement of the speed of light, but I haven't verified it yet. It will take a few days of preparation time, probably after the seminar, and the possibility of failure cannot be ruled out. During this time, if anyone can accurately If the speed of light is measured, then I will propose to the parliament to award him a Silver Moon Medal!"

   "The Silver Moon Medal? Master Lynn, is this an exaggeration?" Sanchez interrupted hastily.

   There are two conditions for the issuance of the Silver Moon Medal. The first is to propose a theory that can change a certain mainstream magic system.

  In the last seminar, when Lynn proposed the law of universal gravitation, they planned to award him a Silver Moon Medal.

It’s just that the legendary speaker, Harov, was able to argue against all opinions. In addition, Lynn calculated the speed of the planet under his feet, and used experiments to prove that the planet is constantly rotating and revolving around the sun, subverting everyone’s view of the world. Only then did he get the more glorious Coronation Medal!

  The second method is to make a significant contribution to the wizard's land or the council.

   But now it is only to measure the speed of light, not to analyze the nature of light, he thinks that a Morning Star Medal is enough...

"I don't think this is an exaggeration. A legendary wizard in the [Secret Society] said that compared with optics, the existing magic theory can only be described as simple or even crude. It is just an elaboration of macroscopic phenomena. Optics is one of the most important keys to uncovering the microcosmic real world!" Lynn said solemnly.

  The speed of light is different from the speed of sound, air resistance, and gravity, which will change when changing a planet.

  It has the same nature as the gravitational constant measured by Lynn before, as well as the unmeasured absolute zero, Hubble constant, Planck constant, etc...

  These values ​​are not limited to one planet, but the laws of objects that pass through the universe... At least within the scope of human visibility and cognition, they are unchanged!

   And the speed of light is particularly important, many famous formulas are inseparable from this constant!

  One example is the famous mass-energy equation—E=mc^2!

  The E on the left stands for energy, the m on the right stands for mass, and c is the speed of light. This formula contains the mystery of the conversion between mass and energy. Whether it is a nuclear explosion or a more powerful antimatter annihilation, you can use this formula to calculate it!

  Of course, there is still a question mark whether the theory of constant speed of light is common in the world, and all these need to be verified by experiments.

  Lin En has always wanted to calculate these basic constants, but he put most of his energy on the war in the kingdom before, so he has been procrastinating.

   It can be said that starting from the study of optics, they have opened up a corner of the real world, from the well-ordered macroscopic field to a chaotic and weird microscopic field.

  Even the federation in the previous life failed to thoroughly study the quantum theory, but even a small gain is enough to accomplish such a feat as an interstellar voyage...

  Lin En’s overly blunt words made the wizards present feel a little unacceptable. The wizard’s land has developed magic for hundreds of years, but it is described by the other party as simple and crude. It is a bit sensational!

"This legendary lord of the Arcane Society must have been stunned when he was studying light?" A great wizard in the audience sneered and said, very dissatisfied with Lin En's words of belittling the existing magic theory. The element of light is certainly miraculous, but at best it is just one of the bricks that make up the magic building...

   After decades of development and improvement, the theory of light elements in the wizarding land has established a general framework, but it has not yet passed the final verification.
