The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 213 The Prophet of the Astronomical Tower?

In order to prove the correctness of the laws of physics to Benson, Ickert still chose the gravity experiment.

"For the first experiment, we first need to clarify a physical law."

Ickert is holding a stone and a piece of paper. Obviously, the paper is much lighter than the stone.

"In order to perform this experiment, we first need to pump out the air."

"Air?"

Benson chewed on this familiar yet unfamiliar vocabulary, and Ickert actually revealed a brand new physical concept inadvertently.

The air is not empty.

Letting two objects fall in the air is no different from letting them fall in water, and the influence of water cannot be ruled out anyway.

For the first time, Benson realized that there are still such experimental factors that cannot be ruled out in the world, which may affect the results of quite a few magic experiments.

I saw Ikert using magic power to stir the air, forming two channels of thin air on the table.

Then put the paper and the stone at the same height, and let go of your hand to let them fall together.

In the thin pseudo-vacuum channel, the paper and the stone fell to the ground almost at the same time.

"It's incredible."

Benson looked at everything in front of him obsessively. This experiment was enough to explain many problems.

First of all, after excluding the influence of the air, the two can still fall to the ground at the same time, so the falling speed of the object has nothing to do with the so-called "weight".

And since it has nothing to do with it, the weight and its extended gravity are not an influence, but a manifestation of being affected.

So what is it that makes matter follow such wonderful laws under the influence of something?

In this regard, Ickert still did not explain, because this experiment did not completely rule out the influence of magic power.

"Next, we only need to verify whether the paper and stone still exhibit this property after the influence of magic power is excluded."

Ickert believes that, at least until now, the blue star physics sages are still blessing him.

"You just go ahead, but to be honest, I already have the answer in my heart."

"So are you ready?"

"Of course, it takes courage to open up a new world. Please smash the arrogance of the old age."

"it is good."

The next experimental steps were assisted by Benson. As a high-level force mage, the magic barrier maintained by Benson with mental power almost took away all the magic power in the channel, basically eliminating the influence of magic power.

Stones and papers fell from the passage again.

Still the same result, they still landed at the same time, and even the timing of the two landings has not changed a bit.

"The age of magic is over."

Benson let out a long sigh. With this experiment as a foundation, the violent idea that magic power affects everything is completely untenable.

Even without magic power, everything in the world can operate according to its original rules, and magic power is just a member of this framework. It may have many uses, but it is no longer sacred, omnipotent, noble, or absolute. .

It is just a part of the rules, and all research on magic will be classified as "magic" from now on, rather than physics representing laws.

"Perhaps, we were headed in the wrong direction from the beginning."

Magic power brought the arrogance of mages to manipulate the world, but after so many years, it was time for them to wake up from that arrogance.

"Master Ikett, do you have any wine here?"

"Of course there is."

"Thank you."

Benson took the wine glass from Eckert. Good magicians always don't like to be contaminated with alcohol, because it will make them no longer sober, but today, Benson must break the precept for his own confusion.

"Master Ikett, no, Sage Ikett, please guide me to a new path, or I may commit suicide today."

Benson resignedly picked up the wine and drank frequently, and Ickert could vaguely feel that he was not joking.

A small experiment shattered the belief of the caster for thousands of years.

"Since you know such a terrifying fact and you can continue to stick to the path of magic, you must know this world better than us. Please tell me what the world is like!"

Ickert was deeply moved by Benson's desperate thirst for knowledge. A high-level mage even called himself a sage, and asked him for physics knowledge.

Although he can't prove all the conclusions, it is enough to make the local mages also stand on the shoulders of giants.

Once they choose a new era together with Ickert, they will be the most reliable comrades in arms.

Ickert organized his thoughts, determined to describe the world as it was.

"Let's start with the planet."

It was night, whether it was Eckert and Benson, or Lani and the rat people who guarded her, they all stayed up all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Benson, who had re-recognized the world, had swept away the previous decadence and despair, and entered into a new era of explaining the world with an extremely humble attitude.

"Hydrostatic Equilibrium Circular Planets, Stars, Galaxies, Universe, Big Bang, Periodic Table"

"If all of these are deduced by mathematics, even if it is just an unbreakable conjecture, it will be enough to change human perception of the world."

"It's ridiculous that, as a high-level mage in the Astronomical Tower, I never thought of going out of the planet, thinking that Gaia is our entire world."

"Thank you, Master Ikett, you are worthy of the title of sage."

In just one night, Benson's mentality has undergone a huge change.

Ickert has used mathematical calculations to spread out a magnificent picture of the galaxy to him, and the human beings in it can't even fully see the river system they are in.

"I would like to invite you to accept the members of the Astronomical Tower, and, in the name of the Astronomical Tower, I would like to write a great thesis to start this era."

Benson, who had been thinking for a long time, finally said this sentence.

"Are you really going to publish it yourself?"

Ickert looked at Benson in front of him, this magical old man who had only known him for less than a day, and suddenly became respectable.

"If you publish it like this, you will really be armed and discussed."

Not to mention that Benson is alone, even if the powerful Astrology Tower publishes this conclusion, it will undoubtedly be ruthlessly besieged by all major magical forces.

It's about the sanctity of magic, and those guys won't show mercy.

"Someone has to inspire, and someone has to lead the way. You are the leader, you can't die."

Benson said slowly, there is a high probability that the sage Veroson will also support this decision. Unlike other mages who focus on power, Force mages value the interpretation of the world most.

The sanctity of crushing magic doesn't matter, only the truth must exist in the world.

"and many more."

Ickert could also hear the heaviness in Benson's words.

"You want me to lead the Astrology Tower?"

"That's right.

You may not realize that just because of a simple experiment, the theoretical foundation of the astrology tower has been shaken.

If one day, someone discovers this problem again, the magic theory of the astronomical tower will also be difficult to get rid of the fact that it collapsed.

Rather than letting the school stand on the opposite side of the truth until then, it is better for the school to start a new era directly, become the leader of the new school, and achieve a great cause with you.

It is not worth pity to sacrifice a few little old men whose strength is gradually weakening.

Sage Virothen is a noble seeker of knowledge, and he would surely do the same. "

Benson said firmly that he had already come to his senses.
