I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 167 - 154: The Grand Idea of Traveling Around the World (Please Subscribe)

"I’ve calculated it, I’ve calculated it! The radius of the planet is 7,200 kilometers!"

"Nonsense, it should be 6,875 kilometers!"

…

Since the calculated values were immensely large, similar debates quickly erupted in every corner of Greenrill City. After repeated verification and disputes, details regarding the planet’s circumference, diameter, and radius were soon vividly outlined on paper,

and the planet’s surface area turned out to be a shockingly huge number, 590 million square kilometers!

Many people only realized at that moment just how vast the planet beneath their feet was!

Alec felt even more profoundly that the world was so vast, and he wanted to see it all.

According to the recently calculated circumference data, sailing around it with Wizard Land’s finest alchemist ship under ideal conditions would only take three months!

However, when he voiced this idea, it was met with ridicule from everyone.

The vast and perilous nature of the sea was beyond the comprehension of someone like Alec, who had no experience with sailing.

Even the most experienced sailors could perish in a great storm or on a fishing trip, not to mention the fierce sea beasts.

"What if we use airships?" Alec was not discouraged by the ridicule but instead proposed a new idea. Since crossing the sea was so dangerous, perhaps they could set off from above.

Upon hearing Alec’s words, the faces mocking and jesting at him fell silent, for they suddenly thought his proposal, although mad, did undeniably have some feasibility.

Sailing around the entire planet would be an unprecedentedly grand feat, one worthy of inclusion in the annals of magic history!

"Maybe we could fly in the opposite direction. Didn’t the ’Magic Daily’ say that the continent beneath our feet rotates from west to east? If we set off from the east and fly westward, couldn’t we return in just one day?" the tall, thin wizard said proudly, oblivious to the looks of those around him, who saw him as a fool.

If it were that easy, they would have run from the east side of Greenrill to the west side of Greenrill the moment they jumped up!

An alchemist, after pondering for a moment, shook his head and poured cold water on the idea. "I think even with an airship, it’s not possible to accomplish such a grand feat. If you cannot ascertain the direction you’re travelling, it won’t be long before you get lost at sea, possibly encountering sea dragons, feathered serpents, or bird demons."

However, this time, several people jumped in to support Alec’s grand idea, suggesting mounting several Demon Crystal Cannons on the airship to fend off aerial magical beasts, or using the stars to navigate direction and location…

The crowd buzzed with various heated discussions. Alec himself felt deflated, suddenly realizing that as a commoner like him, how could he possibly afford his own alchemist airship.

On a nearby city square, Rafael gazed at the wizards who were fiercely debating the correctness of the data and even fighting due to conflicting theories. He remarked with great emotion,

"Greenrill hasn’t been this lively in a long time!"

Ever since Lynn arrived in this ancient Wizard City, it was as if he had injected new vitality into the city. Each day was a renewal of their understanding of the world, involving even some commoners in the academic discussions.

Such a sight of wizards and commoners discussing a magical doctrine together was something he had never witnessed before!

...

The noise in Greenrill City had persisted for quite some time, only reaching its climax when the returning airship appeared in the sky above the city two days later.

Tens of thousands of people had gathered in the streets and squares, eagerly awaiting the airship’s descent.

As the airship gradually decreased its altitude, everyone looked up eagerly, and some mischievous children even climbed onto the rooftops for a better view.

Lydia, the first to disembark from the airship, was very pleased to see the dense crowd gathered in the city square, and she waved her hand enthusiastically.

Darren and a host of half-humans also shouted excitedly.

"Lydia, I knew you could do it!" "Lydia, you are the pride of the half-humans! Our hero!"

Voices rose from every corner of the square, and half-humans, although a minority in Wizard Land, gathered several thousands together. Taking advantage of their stature, they pushed to the front and shouted Lydia’s name in unison.

"A half-human who can’t use magic? How did she get on the airship?" A few male wizards from the western towns of Wizard Land, upon seeing Lydia descend from the airship, couldn’t help but frown.

Measuring the circumference of the planet was such a sacred moment, why bring along an ignorant, magic-incapable half-human?

Hearing this, Darren and the others immediately became upset and spoke indignantly. "What do you know? Lydia is now Apprentice to Lord Lynn, and she personally crafted all the core components of this airship. No one knows better than her how to pilot it!"

The male wizards were somewhat incredulous. In the history of Wizard Land, no school had ever accepted a half-human as an apprentice, considering the undeniable fact that half-humans lacked magic aptitude. Some wizards specializing in Shaping Science even disdainfully referred to half-humans as a race forsaken by magic.

This also led to half-humans being unwelcome in parts of Wizard Land.

Rafael, hailing from beyond the Mist Sea, had surprisingly agreed to accept a half-human as an apprentice and even let her participate in the complex alchemical processes involved in crafting an aerial airship. This shocked the wizards and led them to darkly speculate whether Rafael had some peculiar preferences.

"So even a non-wizard can join the Iyeta School and become Apprentice to Lord Lynn?" Alec said excitedly, and those commoners who also aspired to become wizards looked eagerly towards Darren.

"Of course, Lydia is the perfect example!" Darren declared proudly, then paused and hurriedly added, "But it has to be an extremely intelligent person!"

Extremely intelligent? Alec hesitated, feeling he might not meet that standard, but still looked hopefully towards Lynn, who had just descended from the airship.

Upon seeing Lynn for the first time, Alec thought he looked very young—unbelievably young!

Maybe not even in his twenties yet.

Yet, it was this younger man who had proposed the brilliant idea of measuring planetary data and had brought it to fruition with impressive results.

At that moment, Lynn was having a delightful conversation with the legendary wizard Harrov. Even though Alec was too far away to hear their conversation, he guessed they must be discussing some deeper magical philosophy.

However, all of this was just his imagination. In reality, Lynn was recounting to Harrov the storied rivalry between Newton and the apple…
