Chapter 82: Chapter 73: Touching the Clouds in the Sky! (Two in One)_2


    The dy was brief, yet the airship had already ascended to great heights, appearing as a mere speck from this vantage point.


    “It’s so high!” Theodore looked up in astonishment at the airship that continued to climb. Initially, he thought that even if it could fly, it would reach a maximum height of a few hundred meters; however, to his surprise, the airship had surpassed two thousand meters in just a short while.


    Fortunately, the practice of long-distance viewing magic wasn’t challenging, and most of the Wizards present were proficient in it, so they could still see everything clearly despite the considerable distance.


    After ascending to a height of two thousand five hundred meters, the airship stopped and then, by the thrust of steam, gradually moved forward propelled by the rear rotor des.


    Not only could it fly, but it also moved with remarkable stability!


    “Such a height is probably beyond the attack range of most magic,” Tic observed the hovering airship, his expression growing somber.


    In a sense, this thing was a weapon of war; mounting two Magic Crystal Cannons on it would allow for long-range attacks.


    If there were twenty airships equipped with Magic Crystal Cannons attacking Yiyeta Harbor, the city would undoubtedly be ruins without the intervention of the Archwizard Helram.


    “Such a sophisticated design, so perfect and yet so terrifying…” Helram was keenly aware of this and turned to look at Lynn, asking once more, “The design of this airship wasn’tpleted recently, was it?”


    If Lydia had produced a rudimentary flying device half a month ago, which could be easily identified as a roughly made experimental piece, then this airship now was definitively a finished product.


    The entire process from liftoff to hovering and then to cruising was extremely smooth, and the design of its exterior was meticulous, indicative of very advanced technology.


    “Correct, this airship was designed in coboration with some friends from the Secret Magic Society. It has just been difficult to find an appropriate ce for flight experimentation within the Sekas Empire,” Lynn exined, while taking the opportunity to subtly praise Wizard Land.


    The Wizards in attendance nodded in agreement; as Wizards were persecuted within the Sekas Empire, they dared not conduct flight experiments openly.


    “Since you’ve never tested it, how could you be so certain it would definitely take off?” Tic asked, perplexed.


    “Of course, because I have already calcted it in advance with arcanum mathematics!” Lynn asserted. “Knowing all the data and performing precise calctions leaves no room for error!”


    Before this flight experiment, he had already roughly verified the’s gravity was almost identical to Earth’s by weighing objects of various masses.


    The height the airship reached now also matched his predictions, and all of these calctions could be derived in advance through arcanum mathematics.


    “Arcanum mathematics…” Tic murmured, a term he had never heard before. It seemed that aside from presenting the official Wizard badges, it was necessary to seriously understand this concept called arcanum mathematics, which he felt was likely to be crucial for the field of alchemy.


    Kevin, Philip, and other professors thought Lynn’s ims were perhaps too absolute. Could this so-called arcanum mathematics really calcte everything?


    However, they couldn’t voice their skepticism at the moment, as the airship soaring above served as the best proof!

    Meanwhile, Luo’er took out his pen again, noting down Lynn’s words, nning to use them as a bold headline on one of the pages in Magic Weekly.


    “Master Helram, may I ask you to cast a spell and temporarily turn this square into a sandy area?” Lynn gazed at the sky for some time before suddenly speaking.


    “I can, but may I ask why?” Helram inquired, puzzled.


    “The altitude is sufficient now, and I’d like to take this opportunity to conduct an experiment. If it were on t ground, I’m afraid the disturbance would be quite significant!” Lynn exined smoothly.


    “An experiment?” Helram paused for a moment, but quickly understood what Lynn meant, immediately using a spell of amplificationmanding everyone present to retreat twenty-five meters, leaving a spacious gap in the middle.


    A great Wizard himself had spoken, and no one dared disobey; the vigers in attendance all moved backward, and soon a circr area with a radius of twenty-five meters was cleared in the crowded square.


    Helram first cast arge Magic Power barrier to prevent any idents, and then cast another spell; the solid floor tiles in front of him cracked rapidly under the influence of Magic Power and eventually disintegrated into countless fine grains of sand…


    Lynn took the opportunity to turn his head towards the gathering of Wizards and vigers on the square. Utilizing the principle of sound wave propagation, he increased his own volume.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure that over the past half month, you must have all heard more or less about my theory of free fall and theary theory.


    I believe that among you, there must be many who have doubts about this, thinking that it’s a ridiculous fancy, a lie to attract attention. How could the continent possibly be round, and how could a piece of iron possiblynd at the same time as a pebble.


    But I must tell you here, do not be deceived by the appearances of things; the phenomena you see in your day-to-day life are merely effects caused by air resistance. In truth, if the factor of air resistance is eliminated, the speed of an object in free fall has absolutely nothing to do with its weight or shape!”


    “Are you questioning Master Yade’s theory?” a young male Wizard in the crowd interrupted.


    The rate of an object’s fall being proportional to its weight and affected by its shape is almostmon knowledge, and too many examples in reality can prove Master Yade’s conclusion is correct.


    “Then let’s make a bet,” Lynn raised his voice a notch.


    “In ten minutes, I will have Lydia lower the airship to an altitude of about three hundred meters, then drop a hollow wooden sphere and an iron sphere from the sky at the same time!”


    “Their weights differ by dozens of times! But I bet that the two spheres willnd at the exact same moment, and the interval will not exceed one second!”


    “Let’s set the bet at three Magic Gold Coins for now; anyone can join in!” Lynn said with a smile.


    The purchasing power of three Magic Gold Coins was equivalent to fifty to sixty thousand from his previous life, which was not a small amount even for Wizards, but it was not enough to cause them pain.


    The young male Wizard hardly thought twice before tossing over three Gold Coins.


    Hollow wood, as its name suggests, is the lightest-known type of wood. If Lynn was not lying, ording to Master Yade’s theory, the iron sphere would definitely fall much faster than the wooden sphere.


    And he wasn’t alone in thinking this way; as a result, within a few minutes, more than twenty Wizards joined the bet, including Luo’er, who had deep skepticism about the theory.


    Many of the vigers were also eager to try, but few dared to participate in the bet with the Wizards.


    “What about you? Care to give it a try?” Lynn turned to look behind at the students of the mathematical sorcery ss, asking in a teasing manner.


    Pearce and the others quickly shook their heads, and Ailoke shivered uncontrobly; thest time the professor held a bet, he nearly lost a fortuneparable to the entire Yiyeta Harbor.


    Before he knew it, Lynn held sixty-nine Magic Gold Coins in his hand, feeling somewhat sentimental; indeed, sticking to a sry would never lead to wealth and riches.


    However, he wasn’t just conducting the free-fall experiment using the airship to make money—it was even more important to vindicate his theory!


    Although on his first day at Yiyeta Harbor, he had verified this point within the college by relying on the vacuum domain created by Helram.


    But to create a vacuum environment was extremely difficult, only a great Wizard could do it, and thus the conclusion was limited to a small range of dissemination, with most people preferring to believe what they saw right before their eyes.


    Therefore, Lynn was prepared to take advantage of today, with an experiment that no one could refute, to thoroughly prove this theory!
