I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 169 - 156: Even Robbing Money Isn’t This Fast! (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Professor Lynn, what is this? A mirror?" Lydia propped herself up on the experiment table with a chair cushion under her feet, staring in amazement at the flawless circular mirror before her and exclaimed with curiosity.

There were mirrors in Wizard Land too, but they were all polished copper mirrors. Some wizards would even enchant them with magic, but Lydia was certain, not even the finest copper mirror in Wizard Land could compare to this one—not by a ten-thousandth!

"That’s right, I call it a glass mirror," Lynn nodded with a smile.

Soon, Darren and the rest of the halflings gathered around, marveling at the clear reflection in the mirror.

"Perfect, it’s just too perfect... it’s even clearer than a reflection on the surface of a lake," Darren kept praising. He had never seen such a beautiful mirror; it was like a work of art.

After receiving Lynn’s permission, the halflings carefully extended their hands and held the circular mirror, gently touching the transparent surface as if even a little force could shatter it.

Seeing the expression on Darren and the others’ faces as if they had found a rare treasure, Lynn couldn’t help but chuckle. He had originally thought that since wizards had a basic understanding of the movement of the stars, the technology for glass, essential for astronomical observations, should have been discovered long ago.

However, after asking Harrov, he learned that the wizards from the Prophecy School, in their efforts to observe the stars, had developed various far-seeing magical spells and even upgraded alchemical scopes several times, completely bypassing research in this area.

There was no helping it; magic was just too convenient. Lynn had even started getting used to solving problems with magic. For instance, making glass would normally require a furnace, but he managed it all with a single fire spell.

Lydia swung it back and forth, staring joyfully at her own reflection in the mirror. No maiden could resist such a sleek and flawless glass mirror that reflected her features so clearly.

"Professor, is it made from that special kind of sand?" Lydia reluctantly passed the circular mirror to the next halfling and looked at the basket of raw materials on the table, asking with curiosity.

"It must be the effect of magic!" Darren said with utter conviction.

Such a fine glass mirror couldn’t possibly just be made from some sand and rocks.

Therefore, it must have had magic added to it!

Lydia ignored Darren and looked straight at Lynn, waiting for his answer.

"You are correct, the main component of glass is silicon dioxide, which is found in sand. You don’t need to use any magic during the process. You just need to melt it at a high temperature and shape it into whatever form you desire..." Lynn nodded, affirming Lydia’s guess, and then briefly explained the process of making the glass mirror.

Now that he had made the glass mirror, Lynn was naturally not satisfied with just using it for an experiment; this novel product was bound to set off a new craze in Wizard Land.

As for mass production that would follow, it couldn’t possibly be managed by him alone. There were not many people he could trust at the moment. These halflings had at least proven themselves trustworthy; during the operation of the airship, Darren had delivered a sufficient amount of Magic Gold Coins to him every month without any embezzlement occurring.

As for the leaked airship blueprints? It was Dalak who obtained Ralph’s corpse through Security Chief Lea and searched the memories with Spiritual Energy spells to get some of the information.

He couldn’t really blame a dead man for not keeping the secrets in his mind, could he?

Of course, Lynn also kept some of the more complex technologies to himself, such as the methods for making mercury and tin foil. He planned to teach them to a few Wizard Apprentices, dividing up the entire production process, which could prevent the recipe from being leaked to the greatest extent.

After Lynn finished explaining the method of making glass mirrors, all the halflings were somewhat astounded. Aside from the high-temperature furnace needed to melt the quartz sand, there was hardly any technical difficulty.

And the cost was extremely low, probably only a few silver coins.

But if used for sale, Darren believed that even if the price was set at twenty Magic Gold Coins, people would scramble to buy them!

An earning of a thousand times over, not even robbery was this quick!

...

Two days later, at noon, thousands of wizards were gathered in the great hall of the Magic Conference, eagerly discussing the next topic.

They had all received the news that today, Lynn would unveil the last secrets of the planet beneath their feet at this meeting.

"What do you think this time Lord Lynn will use to measure the weight of our planet beneath our feet?" Rafael looked at August next to him and said thoughtfully.

He had thought about it for two full days, losing quite a bit of hair, without any clue. It seemed like something that was simply impossible to do.

"Probably using the method of segmentation, just like when measuring the circumference," August said with a confident and amiable smile on his face.

"Since we know the volume of the planet, we just need to select a few areas as samples, measure their weight, figure out the volume of a ton of soil, take an average, and then estimate the weight of the planet based on the volume ratio!"

"Of course, these are just my humble opinions. The geology varies from region to region, and there are special cases like mines and oceans, which require specific discussions," August said modestly, but still shared his estimated values. "My estimate of the weight is around thirty sextillion tons! The error should not exceed twenty percent!"

Rafael and others couldn’t help admiring that August truly deserved to be the Magic Realm Star; his brain was indeed very useful, managing to think of such a method.

They had all heard that upon Lynn’s return to Greenriel, he immediately had piles of sand and rocks brought over; now, it seemed likely he was estimating their weight.

Luo’er also looked up to August in admiration, thinking his teacher had glimpsed the truth. This must be the only method!

While they were talking, a snicker came from nearby.

"Mr. Korol, do you have a different opinion? Or have you found a better method of weighing?" Luo’er looked discontentedly at the male wizard beside him.

"Sorry, I don’t know what the method of weighing might be," Korol shook his head. He only knew that Lynn needed the sand and rocks not for weighing, but for making some kind of experimental apparatus.

Before anyone could question further, Korol pointed to the curtains that had suddenly been drawn all around and said with a smile. "But I guess it has to do with darkness!"
