Chapter 471: Chapter 450: How Could You Possibly Comprehend Master Lynn’s Wisdom? (2-in-1)_2
The arrangement order of this elemental periodic table is not random; it’s determined by the number of protons in the structure of the elements.
For example, among the elements they discovered and confirmed, the atomic number of hydrogen is one, that of helium is two, and lithium and beryllium are three and four, respectively. Then, suddenly, carbon jumps to six, and the sequences for nitrogen and oxygen are just right at seven and eight, with precisely five missing!
Lynn believed that the sequence of five (protons in the nucleus) must exist; it was just that they hadn’t discovered it yet!
The rest of the elements were also ‘predicted’ in this way!
As for their mass, it was determined by using gravity as a ruler and then applying the method of microscopic deformation amplification, which magnified the slight differences by hundreds of times to derive their masses.
“Master Lynn once said that you don’t necessarily need a ruler to measure something’s length, and you don’t need a beam scale to measure its mass!” Philip explained Master Dean Lynn’s ingenious ideas to the Wizards present in a simple yet profound way.
Monroe, with his limited ‘educational level,’ was utterly befuddled, but he dared not talk back, as the Wizards beside him had already started to praise enthusiastically.
“Using gravity as a scale and spacetime as the curtain, truly befitting of the Star of Magic, to come up with such a method!” Lucas said with considerable admiration.
“Since the arrangement of the elements is determined by their internal structure, the council must have already clarified the structure of the elements, right?” a strikingly beautiful witch suddenly asked.
Lucas and the others also turned their gazes to Philip. In their minds, elements were the most basic substances that made up the world, the fundamental building blocks of everything.
However, this notion had already been shattered during their previous physics class. In their research on magnetic fields and electric fields, the Wizard teaching them introduced a substance smaller than the basic elements, which was the electric charge!
Furthermore, electric charges were widely present within elements and should be considered one of the fundamental substances comprising the elements.
“Of course!” Philip nodded with no small amount of pride, managing to whet everyone’s appetite but then switched the topic and continued, “The research on the internal structure of elements is currently the Council’s most cutting-edge magic theory and is still in the process of being perfected. Only council members are qualified to participate in it for the time being!”

“Then how can one enter the council and become a member?” the glamorous witch asked again.
“Well, naturally, you have to pass an assessment. Every member is an elite, selected through evaluation!” Philip maintained his posture, implying that becoming a member wasn’t an easy feat.
They were the core members of the council, with the right to vote on all major matters.
Now, in times of war, these Wizards from outside the empire’s borders would have to go through a lengthy assessment period to become members.
At this point, Philip paused, aiming to inspire the foreign Wizards’ fighting spirit, to share their magical research’s achievements, and then he spoke again.
“Actually, there’s a shortcut to becoming a member, and that’s to attain sufficiently high merit!”
“Like Master Lynn, for instance. He proposed the law of universal gravitation for Force Field Magic and received the council’s highest honor—the Corona Medal, immediately earning several Speakers’ nominations!”
Philip went on and on, and then comforted the crowd, saying that a magic prodigy like Dean Lynn was rare, and actually, one didn’t need to get a Corona Medal to become a member. A Silver Moon Medal, or even three Morning Star Medals, would guarantee a nomination!
…
A chemistry class quickly ended amidst Philip’s boasting, with half the lesson spent regaling the Wizards from the empire with someone’s great achievements.
Starting from verifying the law of free fall with two spheres, to measuring the circumference of planets with the angle of the projection of icicles, he conveyed an attitude that with hard work, you too could be the next Star of Magic!
“Absurd, this is utterly absurd!” Monroe couldn’t help but blurt out indignantly as soon as he returned to the faction’s residence.
Those Wizards were actually saying that the continent they stood on was round and continuously rotating!
Had their minds been emptied by witchcraft?
How could they come up with such ludicrous statements!
If the continent were a sphere, then how would the people living at the bottom of the sphere manage to live without falling off headfirst?
Ivina also pondered this question. In the week she had been at Wizard College, every class she attended seemed both novel and bizarre.
For example, the physics class included experiments like free fall in a vacuum, spectrum splitting with a prism, and artificially creating rainbows, among others.
What surprised Ivina the most was that many of these so-called experiments didn’t require the use of magic at all, the simplest being the creation of a rainbow, which only required a simple mist device and the right angle.
According to the Wizard who taught the class, the development of magical studies was actually the process of exploring the truths of the world, and magic was just a way for Wizards to more easily transform the laws governing the movement of all things into power!
But all these novel experiments combined were still not as shocking as this planet theory!
Anyone hearing that the land beneath their feet was not flat but spherical would find it unbelievable!
According to the scriptures, the whole world was created by the benevolent Creator out of the void, with all the Morning Stars, including the Sun and Moon, revolving around the continent beneath their feet.
This was common knowledge within the entire empire!
Yet the world according to the Wizards was completely different; the land beneath their feet was not only spherical, but the Sun was actually the center of the entire system, with the other planets revolving around it, driven by gravitational forces.
The Wizard teaching the class also presented numerous ‘evidences.’
For instance, the phenomenon of a lunar eclipse was the outline of the planet below blocking out the Moon, and when traveling by ship, if one used magic to observe a distant towering lighthouse, one would invariably see the top of the tower first, then the body of the tower, and so on…
The so-called Star of Magic, Lynn, even conducted a clever pendulum experiment to demonstrate that the planet was rotating, and he used a tall tower and ice pillars raised above the sea to successfully calculate the circumference of the planet!
A full forty-three thousand two hundred kilometers!
Most crucially, they had just finished learning the laws of trigonometry and the formulas for calculating the circumference and area of a sphere in their math class. This meant that using these principles, she could easily calculate it herself!
With brilliant logical reasoning, rigorous math operations, and various pieces of evidence, Ivina suddenly didn’t know which side was correct.
Years of common knowledge told her the continent could not possibly be round, yet logical deduction seemed to lean toward the other possibility.
After all, that star chart was simply too beautiful, with the Sun at the center, drawing the other planets with its absolute mass, orderly and regular, everything naturally in place.
Ivina turned her head to look at Monroe, wanting to find someone to share her inner confusion with, but she quickly stopped herself, knowing well that Monroe hadn’t been paying real attention to any of the classes, and it was already a struggle for him to wait until returning to their residence before starting to complain!
The Star of Magic, the Messenger of Doomsday, Lynn…
In her mind, Ivina thought about the most important target of this mission. Ever since she entered Fire Oil City, she heard this name mentioned almost every day.
She was tired of hearing the legendary deeds of Lynn, whether it was various powerful alchemical creations or new theories of magic, everything seemed to be related to this Star of Magic.
As Ivina was pondering, Monroe suddenly stopped beside her, took out a glowing Crystal Ball from his bosom, and spoke joyfully.
“We’ve got contact from the Church! Ivina, keep watch for me, I need to report the situation here to His Holiness, the Pope…”
