I Pioneered Scientific Magic

Chapter 276: Illuminating the Night Sky!

"I've placed it, Dean Lynn!"

Lydia waved her hands on the platform set up on the open ground, loudly shouting. Placing the light bulbs so high was to ensure everyone could see!

"Let's begin then!" Dean Lynn nodded, glancing at Elok and the others, instructing them to start the motor.

The clanging noise immediately echoed within the castle, startling the onlookers from afar.

The motor utilized the principle of cutting magnetic lines but lacked protective casing. Everyone could witness the rotor swiftly spinning, surrounded by flickering arcs.

A continuous flow of electricity transmitted into the light bulbs.

Interweaved inside were several strands of spiral-shaped fire lion fur, faintly glowing.

Moments later, the glow intensified, quickly surpassing the dim torchlight, flooding the entire area with brightness, akin to daylight.

Looking directly at the light source, Raydell and the others couldn't help but squint their eyes or instinctively shield themselves. It felt akin to staring at noon's sun.

"Lightning, they've captured lightning inside that bulb!" Someone amidst the crowd tremulously exclaimed.

Ham and the others gaped at the continuously emanating light from the bulb, then back at the rotating motor.

They had wondered how the esteemed wizards would turn night into day, but never expected them to harness lightning!

The emitted light reached far, prompting the impoverished hiding in their houses to peek through windows toward the gathering crowd, as though witnessing a rising mini-sun...

Observing this scene, Lynn felt immensely satisfied. They had previously verified this in the laboratory, but this outdoor experiment marked their foray into the era of electricity!

The performance of the fire lion fur exceeded Lynn's expectations, though its only drawback was a shorter lifespan. He estimated even fur directly plucked from the lion would last no more than half a year due to high temperatures.

Of course, in a sense, that wasn't much of a downside...

Moreover, compared to tungsten, this biological material was extremely eco-friendly and renewable...

"It seems Iyeta won't experience darkness anymore," remarked Philip. The materials used for these bulbs weren't complex, and there were ample magnetic ores in the Kingdom of Hadrala. He foresaw a future where light would illuminate every corner of the city.

"It's like a little sun!" murmured Raydell.

"We're far from it. A genuine artificial sun would be thousands of times more splendid!" Lynn chuckled, remarking.

At his words, everyone present wore an odd expression, as if they could truly create a sun.

"So, light is electricity and electricity is light, right, Professor Lynn?" Johnny pondered for a while before suddenly asking.

They channeled electricity into the fire lion's fur, creating light. Did that mean the light they normally experienced was also derived in the same manner?

This question momentarily stumped even formal wizards like Philip; everyone furrowed their brows, pondering deeply.

"It doesn't seem right, does it? The forms of light and electricity differ, and we can generate light through other means," Orlando shook his head, conjuring a fireball. "For instance, like this. Can we say fire is light then?"

In the land of wizards, the concept of light elements existed, and many wished to unravel its mysteries.

However, the 'light element' was incredibly elusive, seemingly omnipresent yet impossible to perceive through magical senses.

Nevertheless, they had deduced several patterns, such as light often accompanying heat, being susceptible to reflection, absorption, and had developed various light-based spells.

"Your idea is excellent, Johnny, but this secret is for you to explore!" Lynn chuckled, not directly revealing the answer. Understanding the laws of the world required stepping through each possibility, testing right and wrong to possess a truly comprehensive magical theory.

"Anyone who comprehensively studies light, even a bit, will earn a Solar Crown Medal, leaving a significant mark in the history of magic!" Lynn emphasized solemnly.

A Solar Crown Medal?

Hearing Lynn's words, Elok and the others were thrilled. It was the highest award in the magical world!

Even Lydia felt a bit restless. She lacked magical talents and probably wouldn't pass the formal wizard exams, but that wouldn't stop her from becoming the first apprentice to receive the Solar Crown Medal!

"Professor? Where should we start to uncover the secrets of light?" Lydia urgently inquired.

Orlando chuckled inwardly. If the Dean knew, he would've already presented it, wouldn't he? Why leave the opportunity to them?

However, contrary to his expectations, Lynn took out a crystal-clear glass from his pocket and waved it in front of everyone.

"You can start with this!"

"Dean, isn't this just an ordinary piece of glass?" Elok scoffed.

Glass products might be precious in the Kingdom of Hadrala, but even commoners in Iyeta could afford it. During the school's expansion, they planned to install it in windows for better light transmission, nothing special.

"Technically, it's a prism!" Lynn chuckled, explaining. Placing it under the lamp, everyone then noticed its uniqueness.

This prism resembled a beautiful gem, light entering from one side refracted and emerged from the other side not as bright white but as a dazzling spectrum—a gradient composed of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet. When projected into the shadows, it appeared incredibly dazzling...

Elok and the others gazed in astonishment at the spectacle before them.

Light... was separated!

"So, this is how beautiful the white light we see is!" Lydia exclaimed, astonished and delighted.

"Professor, what principle is this?" Pearce attempted to move his hand, swaying across the spectrum. The colorful light shining on his palm felt vaguely warm.

"Is this phenomenon exclusive to light generated by electricity? Or does all light behave this way?" Philip, standing nearby, was also eager to know.
