Chapter 332: Chapter 320: A Grand Gesture… A Vacuum Domain Covering Half the City!
After returning to the ground from the air, the first thing Rafael said made everyone present stun.
“I’m afraid it will be very difficult to continue the experint!”
“Master, what exactly is the matter? Could it be that the angle of the light’s refraction is incorrect?” Nancy asked anxiously, although they had confird the placent of each mirror according to the blueprint nurous tis.
But before Rafael could answer, Glenn sighed and said, “It must be that the light has weakened, right?”
“That’s right!” Rafael nodded, “I confird it while in the air; after the light beam reflected off the 73rd mirror, it beca too faint to be recognized by the naked eye…”
“It’s weakened that quickly?!” Glenn’s face turned pale. If the light could penetrate three to four hundred mirrors, there might be a way to compensate. By enlisting a few more Wizards to cast spells together, they could create a stronger beam.
...
But this was only the 73rd mirror; they had only completed one-fourteenth of the distance. With such a rate of degradation, would they need to increase the beam’s strength ten or even a hundredfold?
How could that be possible?
“Master Lynn, I think you must know what’s happening here, right?” Rafael turned and looked at Lynn, asking for an explanation.
Everyone’s gaze turned toward the star of magic, Lynn, suddenly rembering his earlier comnt about the experint.
Feasible, yet not feasible…
Lynn didn’t play coy this ti and started explaining. “It is possible to make the light travel a longer distance through reflection, but although mirrors can reflect light, they can’t do so completely, and so energy is inevitably lost with each reflection…”
“Does that an we should reduce the number of mirrors and increase the distance of each reflection?” A male wizard quickly thought of a solution.
“No, that won’t work at all,” Glenn said with a sigh. “Light cannot travel very far.”
This was sothing he’d already tested, which is why he reduced the distance between two mirrors to about a hundred ters.
“That’s because elents in the air also reflect and absorb light, and light itself doesn’t travel in parallel, but spreads out in all directions. That’s why we can see light…” Lynn continued his explanation.
So it ant that as long as they could see light, it ant the light was dispersed and had reflected into their eyes… Rafael imdiately understood what Lynn ant but then suddenly spoke up to counter it.
“That shouldn’t be right. Then how does the light from the Sun cross millions of kiloters to reach this Eternal Star?”
Reminded by Rafael, many Wizards also noticed the ‘loophole’ in Lynn’s speech. If light was constantly weakening, then the light from the Sun couldn’t possibly reach them!
The wizards of the Prophecy School had already calculated the staggering distance between the Eternal Star and the Sun, even at its closest point, being over a hundred million kiloters!
“Outside our planet, in the vastness of the universe, the content of elents is extrely sparse, and light doesn’t lose energy in a vacuum. And after reaching this planet, it is only scattered and absorbed by the elents, not gone…” Lynn said, shaking his head.
Lynn’s answer dispelled everyone’s doubts, but the successive challenges left Glenn and others completely stunned.
If they couldn’t solve the problem of light intensity weakening with distance, Glenn pondered deeply, but he couldn’t think of how to make light cross a hundred-kiloter distance and still be visible to them…
Would they have to just announce their failure?
Glenn was very discontent; he had made so many preparations and such a big display, only to see it co to nothing…
One could imagine that they would definitely beco the butt of the Wizards’ jokes the next day.
Just then, a voice as deep as a bell suddenly rang in everyone’s ears. “Why not just make those interfering elents disappear, create a large enough vacuum domain to simulate the conditions of the universe?”
The people present turned toward the direction of the voice and soon saw several Legendary Counciln approaching, and the person who spoke was none other than Harrov!
“Lord Harrov!” Glenn exclaid with joy.
Right, by creating a vacuum domain that covered the distance of light propagation, they could greatly reduce the rate of light intensity reduction.
Only a legendary Wizard like Harrov could co up with such a preposterous yet highly effective solution!
After Harrov spoke, the Wizards gathered nearby began to advise and strategize for Glenn.
For instance, a thousand mirrors were too many; they could simply increase the distance of each reflection to one kiloter, which would an only a hundred mirrors were needed!
Even Anthony stepped forward, his interest piqued by this experint to asure the speed of light through mirrors, and volunteered to create a brighter light source with his Thunder Magic…
Amidst everyone’s various discussions, one after another problem was resolved, and this eager magical research atmosphere also made Lynn feel very comfortable.
While there were onlookers who were rely waiting to see a spectacle, there were also quite a few Wizards intently devoted to magical research, eager to understand exactly how fast the speed of light was.
Glenn picked himself back up, modifying the position and angle of each mirror on the blueprint and reducing the number to a hundred, ready to attempt the experint again with a stronger light!
“Everyone not involved, please step back. All Grand Wizards stay!” Harrov spoke solemnly. Such a large-scale elental repulsion was beyond even him, a Legend; it would require the combined strength of everyone.
The preparation took another hour to complete.
Anthony took the lead, with flickering lightning beginning to erge in his palm, growing brighter and brighter. The wild thunder roared, causing both civilians and Wizards to squint, the light becoming unbearable to the naked eye…
“Begin!” Harrov’s voice grew louder, reaching every corner of the city.
At the sa ti, twenty Grand Wizards and three Legends cast their spells together, and the elents swirling around them were rapidly expelled under the influence of imnse magic power. In just three seconds, a vacuum domain covering half the city had silently ford!
“Quite a grand move…” Lynn comnted, impressed with the Wizards’ imagination and practical capability, which far exceeded his expectations. He then quickly focused, raising his hand to expand his own domain, completing the vacuum segnt for which he was responsible.
