Chapter 337: Chapter 325: Light only needs one second to circle the continent seven and a half tis!
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 elents trying to pass through the gaps, without exception!
“This isn’t magic!” Yasosi and the others exclaid in disbelief.
The occurrence of such an eerie phenonon 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 thod 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 imdiately 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 sowhat 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 centiters, even so, the gear’s circumference had reached an impressive over seven ters, and maintaining such high rotation speeds could collapse at any mont!
“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 reerging 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 fragnts flew in all directions like the sharpest daggers!
Screams erupted from the crowd, but fortunately, Harrov did not allow another experint accident to occur. These flying roulette fragnts, 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 confird confidently.
This figure could not be mistaken!
Rafael imdiately calculated it in his mind.
Seven hundred and twenty teeth tis eight kiloters tis a speed of fifty-two rounds, that is…
Two hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred twenty kiloters per second!
As this figure was calculated, a look of disbelief ford 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 asurents.
“Doesn’t this an 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 kiloters.
“Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?” Sanchez furrowed his brow, nearly three hundred thousand kiloters 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 kiloters, 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 ca to a stunning conclusion.
The wizards of the Prophecy School like Yoland suddenly thought that they might be able to asure 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 asured in his previous life was two hundred ninety-nine thousand seven hundred ninety-two kiloters per second. The slight difference could likely be attributed to asurent precision issues…
Could this prove that the two worlds existed within the sa universe?
This was not an impossible notion, even though in his previous lifeti, 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 so 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 sothing that could be verified at the mont. Lynn did not spend too much effort on this, instead using gears of different tooth counts already prepared to try the experint several more tis to verify its accuracy.
So variation in the final data appeared, approximately a few hundred ters apart.
For this outco, the wizards present were all incredibly satisfied; considering the monuntal scale of light speed, it was simply not significant.
So 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 asurents.
Only Lynn himself was slightly dissatisfied; the more accurate the determination of light speed, the better. However, with the current rudintary conditions, it was simply not possible to produce more precise instrunts 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 so minor inaccuracies.
