I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 156 - 143: Invading the Sekas Empire, Overturning the Church? (Subscribe please)

"Ailoke, calculating the data of the planet beneath our feet shouldn’t be hard for you now, should it?" Lynn looked at the several Wizard Apprentices with a smiling expression and inquired.

Excitement was evident in Ailoke and the others as they nodded repeatedly, only then did they understand that the words spoken during the first lesson were not boastful—the mathematics could indeed calculate everything!

Once they knew the circumference of the planet, calculating the radius, area, and even volume was easily achievable.

The Wizards within the seminar were also struggling to contain their excitement, as there were only ten days left until mid-July…

Which meant that in ten days, the full expanse of the continent beneath their feet... no, the entire planet, would be revealed before them.

"I really wonder how your brain works, to think of such a unique method!" Rafael exclaimed with awe.

Before Lynn’s arrival, although Wizard Land didn’t have a systematic mathematical science, most Wizards were familiar with basic geometric calculations. However, they had never thought that such simple methods could be used to calculate the circumference of the planet beneath their feet.

Perhaps this was the hallmark of a genius…

In the face of everyone’s praise, Lynn remained calm, as the method was not originally his idea; he had simply made some modifications to the concept developed by the "Father of Geography," Eratosthenes, based on the conditions in Wizard Land.

In his previous life, when Lynn had been looking through historical material, he was amazed by the genius-like thought processes of the other party; it was like using basic methods to solve the most complicated problems!

"Is there any requirement for where to place this pillar?" Harrov couldn’t wait to verify this notion, and if it weren’t for the ten days remaining until mid-July, he would have taken action right then and there.

"The ground should be as flat as possible, at least five hundred kilometers away from Greenhale; for even more accurate data, it would be better to be over one thousand kilometers away!" Lynn pondered and said. "After all, the land beneath us is too vast; a single degree could span tens or hundreds of kilometers. It’s best to be as far away as possible, and the pillar should be as tall as possible so that the shadow is clear enough."

Such a distance… Harrov’s brows involuntarily furrowed.

This meant that within Wizard Land, it might be impossible to carry out the verification.

"There is a suitable place, I’ve heard that beyond the Mist Sea, there’s a tower hundreds of meters high, which could serve as a ready-made pillar," August suddenly suggested.

The Wizards present were somewhat surprised, wondering about the place August mentioned.

Philip, who was nearby, suddenly seemed to realize something astonishing and blurted out, "Master August, you’re not talking about the Sky Dome Tower in the Holy City, are you?"

Although he had never been to the Sekas Empire, he had heard about some of the wonders beyond the Mist Sea from Helram and the sailors who traveled back and forth, including the Sky Dome Tower.

It was rumored to be where the Life Creator, the Lord of the Stars, the Moon Goddess "Aila" manifested; the sacred place in the hearts of all Believers.

As for the so-called deity, Philip naturally sneered at the notion, but he was also aware of the power possessed by the church; if they specifically went to the Holy City to measure the shadow of the Sky Dome Tower, it would be an act of sheer folly, so reckless that they would likely be captured and burned at the stake before even entering the gates.

However, rational individuals like Philip were few; many of the younger Wizards were even clamoring to head straight for the Holy City.

In their view, today’s Wizard Land wasn’t what it used to be—a haven for exiled Wizards.

After centuries of development, they had created countless new spells, established a hierarchical system for Wizards, and built a theoretical system for magic, powerful beyond imagination!

The Star Map Lydia recounted for them further made the Wizards realize how vast the world was, and yet they were confined to the small Wizard Land…

Nevertheless, Harrov quickly doused their enthusiasm. "We only have ten days’ time, and even if we left now at full speed, we might not be able to reach Sky Dome Tower in time."

"Besides, there’s no need to make it so complicated; we can simply create an artificial Floating Ice Island on the sea with magic and erect an ice pillar on it. This would yield the most accurate data!"

The shore of Wizard Land facing the Sekas Empire was the Mist Sea, but this doesn’t mean the entire island was shrouded in mist; in fact, the waters beyond were navigable.

However, the sea was too vast. Once, a great Wizard sought to see what lay beyond the sea and flew for a month, only discovering unpopulated islands and ferocious sea beasts, almost failing to find his way back.

With Harrov’s decision, the sentiment ultimately did not escalate into storming the Sekas Empire and overthrowing the church.

Although Harrov’s Floating Ice Island plan was seen as a "cowardly" approach, fearing the church in the eyes of some Wizards, no one dared to openly oppose it. The focus of the discussion quickly turned to how to determine the distance between Corona Tower and the pillar.

One of the witches quickly suggested they could use a very long rope to measure out a length as a unit, and then leave a mark on the ground as a milestone for every rope’s distance, and ultimately just count how many marks there were.

But this proposal was soon rejected because it was too cumbersome, not to mention the uneven terrain of Wizard Land would present significant inaccuracies.

After a fierce discussion, the more convenient methods of carriage and sea travel measurement quickly took precedence.

"Why not use an airship?" Lydia raised her hand high, pitching her suggestion.

Rafael and the others saw a bright prospect in her idea; he had just been about to say this, but Lydia had beaten him to it.

Compared to an alchemical ship, which could be disrupted by waves, an airship floating in the sky was undoubtedly a better choice.

It could not only cross all obstacles and advance in a straight line, but with the application of Wind Protection magic, navigation would be very stable, and fluctuations minimal.

If they traveled at full speed, the airship could cover fifteen kilometers per hour, which amounted to three hundred and sixty kilometers in a single day. Using this as a benchmark for judging distance was quite precise…

Lynn did not participate in the discussions; he turned his head toward the Wizards of the Prophecy School and asked with a smile, "Mr. Yoland, do you have any doubts now?"

Yoland stood there stupefied, his mind reeling with Lynn’s method of equally dividing the circle to calculate the circumference.

Although no precise results had been obtained yet, he understood that the Prophecy School had lost, and they had lost utterly!
