The drug-eating genius wizard, episode 527,
the second thesis (2)
“Creating a new road above the sky….”
Someone muttered as if repeating Lennok’s words, and asked.
“Do you fully understand how difficult and esoteric that word is?”
“….”
“How much manpower and capital was invested to build a ticket that covers the entire megalopolis, and how valuable and valuable the results are at the end.”
Even as he spoke, his voice became more and more stern.
“I don’t want to hear that from someone who doesn’t understand it. How much more can you say something that doubts the fairness of the fair in a place like this?”
The second floor seats for the judges.
Air Force Commander Carrasco, who was sitting at the front, said with fish-like eyes.
“If you don’t deliver results worthy of that level of confidence, you will have to face a considerable penalty.”
As the commander of the Air Force and the person who has received countless investments from the city government, Lennok’s words must be offensive.
Lennox understood, on some level, his sharp response.
It is also the fact that some of the judges, who seem to be from the research institute, stare at Lennok sharply and look at him in check.
Conversely, a few elderly people who looked like senators were just staring down at Lennok with languid eyes.
They may think that they are observing Lenok one-sidedly from beyond the curtain, but they themselves are truly buried in the information gap at this moment.
Lennok slowly turned his back, convinced of that fact.
“understand.”
He asked as he put his hand toward the magic engineering engine placed on the cradle that he had brought out together.
“Then would it be all right if we start the demonstration?”
Saying so, Lennok took out the outline of the second thesis from within his arms and placed it on the podium.
“…of course. But there is one thing we must do before that.”
At the same time as Carrasco’s answer came back, the curtains in the first floor seats, which had been closed, began to open wide.
Carrasco’s voice mingled with laughter resonated from the audience seats on the second floor above the podium, where the light slowly began to come in.
“It is our duty to inform the citizens of the Balkans about what happened at this fair.”
“….”
“A renowned genius researcher at Rabatenon University. If you’re a genius like that, wouldn’t you be able to show off your proud achievements in front of a lot of people?”
The curtains that had been hidden were opened, and dozens of voices murmured between them.
A faint heat created by overlapping the body heat shed and passed by people as they come and go.
Hundreds of people were sitting in the seats on the first floor that were covered.
“This….”
Apart from the exhibitions in City Hall Square, demonstrations taking place inside the building are also nominally open to the public.
However, for sensitive secrets such as military security, the judges selectively discriminate and decide whether to disclose.
Although not much is disclosed, some of those who participated in the exposition also gather at City Hall.
Citizens who came to relieve their boredom, officials who watched this place with sharp eyes, researchers who participated in the fair but did not qualify for a demonstration.
Not only that, but dozens of cameras flashing their lenses behind the seats on the first floor capture the scenery from the stage as it is and transmit it to the City Hall Plaza.
Lennok looked back at the camera flashing at him, realized Carrasco’s intentions, and smiled quietly.
“…It’s not trivial.”
What does it mean that they decided to release Lennok’s announcement before the judging was over?
Carrasco seemed to be offended by Lennok’s words, so he broadcast Lennok’s announcement to the outside world on the spot.
Arbitrary decision without seeking consent from other judges. In the process, the fact that no one protested the decision proves that Carrasco’s responsibility and weight are significant.
Carrasco must have had a lot of influence in the fact that the winner of this exhibition was tentatively decided.
If I make a mistake here, or if it turns out that the results of the paper are poor, Lennok’s reputation as a researcher will be sunk to the bottom of the underground.
Even if you finish your presentation properly, this is the main battle. A mistake could cost Lennok considerable.
Carrasco deliberately made Lennok’s announcement public to others from the start in order to put him under such pressure.
“Are you starting over? It took a little longer than expected.”
“First of all, after screening, you decide whether to disclose it or not. There must be some announcements that have gone unnoticed.”
“If you can demonstrate it directly at the city hall, you must be a great researcher. I’m looking forward to it…!!”
Citizens chatting in various places in the audience, and experts watching Lenok closely and silently whispering.
Lennok listened to their voices for a while and looked around.
Not all of the seats are visible, but it is possible to guess to some extent when combined with the deliberately limited magic detection.
Mila and Felix of the Antares Mercenary Corps, who greeted Lennok earlier. After looking around the audience, the magicians, government officials, and wizards of the Mage Tower who followed the presenter, he
noticed someone among them and stopped his gaze.
“….”
Even in the dark seats, he wears thick sunglasses and a beret, but his familiar bobbed black hair is not hidden.
It was as if he could see the green eyes he remembered through the dark sunglasses.
While eating popcorn, he looked up at us with an excited expression, and looked away hurriedly after our eyes met.
The archers who had been bombarding Bayrutz just a few days ago had come to the fair to watch the presentation.
‘…Eveline knows that I am Evan.’
The solid class and the blue-eyed Evan. Lennok had personally explained to Evelyn that the two were the same person and asked for her cooperation.
Didn’t Evelyn also believe in that fact and follow Lennok into the Eyes of Blue?
It was just that, apart from the fact that Lennok felt a debt to him, he never thought that she would come to see him in person at this point.
Eveline has never intentionally visited Lennok’s sunny status.
If there was a change of heart, the reason must be because of a series of events that occurred in Bairutz.
Could it be that in the process, he even recognized the sense of incongruity with Lennok’s identity?
When I met her as Victor, I thought she hadn’t revealed any traces, but Ibelin might have sensed something out of a sense of déjà vu after working with Lennok for a long time.
However, Lennok immediately denied the possibility after thinking about it in an instant.
If he really gave a hint to the extent of taking action out of suspicion about him, he would have contacted me right away at such a fair.
Evelyn’s straightforward personality wouldn’t have prevented her from asking questions about things related to Pandaemonium.
Lennox’s guess was solidified by Eveline’s eagerly munching on popcorn while keeping a quick glance.
‘…Maybe he just wanted to see the fair.’
There was no time to think long.
Hundreds of eyes began to focus at once on Lennok, who had just stood on the podium, and the magic engineering engine next to him.
“That man looks like assistant professor Bylon. You work in a lab at Rabatenon University?”
“My uncle works at a research lab and is a huge celebrity.”
“I know Professor Aris Richellen, but he’s also that famous?”
“It is said that his dissertation has made a great contribution to the study of energy systems. They said it would overturn existing theories.”
Of course, citizens who are not experts do not have a high level of understanding of not only theses but also spells and magic.
They are only aware of the fact that such technology and magical engineering research improves their lives.
Visiting the exposition today is nothing more than taking advantage of the city government’s designation of a holiday to celebrate the exposition to see the novel technologies.
It would be perfect if a very complex theme related to entropy was presented at a meeting like this, only to lose some interest.
However, Lennok took a sip of the bottled water placed next to the podium without saying a word and immediately grabbed the microphone and stepped forward.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Evan Bylon, who is working as a researcher for Professor Richellen at Rabatenon University.”
A simple clap.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to present my paper at this fair. Let’s get to the point.”
Saying that, Lennok dragged the magic engineering engine beside him and walked out to the front of the podium.
An engine that has not yet stopped working, faintly vibrating and emitting faint smoke.
“It’s something other researchers have brought up a few times.”
“There doesn’t seem to be anything special….”
After the chatter of the other audience members, Lennok continued.
“What I will introduce is entropy manipulation of the mana array. It is a theory of the concept of controlling the diffusion rate by artificially adding confusion to the arrangement of particles representing disorder.”
“…”
“Not going against the spreading flow itself, but artificially controlling the spreading speed through ordering the mana arrangement. The core theory of my thesis is to temporarily create confusion in the physical laws applied to the object through it.”
Silence passed.
This was because no one present immediately understood Lenock’s three-word outline of the paper.
No, it’s not that nobody heard it.
It was because there were people in the audience who understood the meaning of those words belatedly, and their expressions changed little by little.
It didn’t matter. Lennok also had no intention of ending this presentation with just one or two words.
“What does that mean?”
Lennok smiled at the question of the person sitting in the front row.
“Simply put, through the control of the mana array diffusion speed…. It means that certain laws of physics can be artificially reproduced.”
At that moment, I had the illusion that I could hear the sound of someone secretly swallowing my breath from the seats on the second floor.
Evelyn, mingling with the crowd, had forgotten to chew her popcorn and was staring at Lennok.
Lennok looked at the still bewildered audience and took one last look at the camera that was probably broadcasting the scene out of the plaza.
He threw the water bottle he was still holding onto the floor.
Chow!!
“Kyaaak!!”
“The water is splashing. What are you doing?”
“No, doesn’t the engine explode when water touches it? If it’s like this… … !!”
In an instant, a puddle formed in front of the podium and the water splashed onto the seats, causing a commotion.
However, Lennok did not care about them and immediately raised the engine output to the limit.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The engine, which reached the limit of its output in an instant and became red-hot, began to emit a flash of mixed horse power and power.
That fleeting moment when people shut their mouths and stepped back slightly at the shock as if the entire air around the area, including the audience seats, was shaking.
Lennok immediately pushed the cradle on which the engine was placed.
It’s obvious what will happen if you throw an overheated engine on the water.
“Kyaaaagh!!”
Right after that, the audience screamed, closed their eyes tightly, and lowered their heads.
ugh!!
At the same time as the unknown engine sound, the auditorium fell into silent silence.
“What is….”
“Didn’t it explode?”
“…Can you see that?”
It didn’t happen that the roaring engine crashed into a puddle and spewed out a huge spray.
Only the image of the engine floating quietly on top of the water puddle with a subtle glassy glow came into everyone’s eyes.
The image of a magic engineering engine lazily rotating in the air above a puddle while receiving the eyes of hundreds of people.
Lennok stood in front of the audience and took a rolling pin from the bottom of the auditorium and pushed it across the puddle.
ugh… … .
As the puddle was pushed out, the engine began to glide along the puddle.
“I am flying….”
“Are you floating on water?”
“Is it possible that the engine alone is floating in the air like that?”
“Didn’t you use magic or a spell?”
“…no.”
Evelyn, who had been watching it blankly, muttered inadvertently to the audience’s words.
“That’s not magic or magic.”
Lennok didn’t use any magic or magic to launch that engine.
He succeeded in floating the engine by creating an artificial updraft of horsepower on the water simply by raising the output to the limit and operating it.
And Evelyn knew very well where such a unique updraft of magical power occurred.
The Dominion of Philenom, where the headquarters of the Blue Eye is located.
“A colony of floating islands located in the Sea of Understanding.
A floating phenomenon of the ground and objects caused by an extremely light and efficient updraft of magical power that only occurs there.
Lenock succeeded in artificially recreating and presenting the updraft that occurs only in the sea of understanding.
“It is possible to achieve this effect by artificially controlling the engine’s output pattern. There is virtually no power loss in the process.”
Lennok, who took the microphone again, pushed the rolling pin with his other hand and moved the puddle.
A curious sight where the engine continues to float as the puddle moves.
Watching the eyes of the audience move around following Lennok’s gestures, Lennok opened another water bottle from the podium and poured it onto the floor.
As the amount of water increases, the engine floating in the air rises higher and reaches the eye level of the audience on the second floor.
“It is natural because it reproduces a phenomenon that mimics the updraft of a floating island colony, but as the amount of water increases, the floating ability also increases.”
Despite the relatively fast rise, the movement of the engine is very stable.
The flight is so quiet and stable that it is difficult to believe that it is floating on an artificially formed updraft.
What does this mean and what a valuable theory construct. There’s no way the nobility of the central council wouldn’t be aware of it.
Leaving behind the judges who couldn’t take their eyes off the movement of the engine and opened their mouths in a daze, Lennok grabbed the engine that floated in the air.
“This is not the end. If you amplify the output of the engine beyond the limit and temporarily release the output limit… … .”
Aaaaaaa!!!!!
At that moment, the puddle that had been soaked under the engine spun and rose into the engine, scattering a glassy glow.
At the same time as the water at my feet seemed to be sucked backwards into the engine, the vibration of the engine suddenly became quiet.
ugh… … !!
The bodies of the spectators who had been looking up at Lennok in a daze began to rise one by one from the spot.
“what?”
“Wait a minute!!”
“What the hell is this…!!!”
Starting from the front row of the audience on the first floor, the bodies of people began to float and rise from the spot as if hitting a wave.
Updrafts resembling glass-colored brilliance supported the entire space and pushed people’s bodies up to the top of the chairs.
The silvery-white waves bursting out from the center of the engine spread softly to the audience, giving the same floating ability as if it were caught in the engine.
A mysterious sight that seemed completely out of the influence of gravity was being transmitted to the plaza through dozens of cameras.
The figure of hundreds of people floating in the air.
Lennok smiled faintly at the people floating in the audience who couldn’t take their eyes off him.
“I call this phenomenon floating resonance.”
“Commander Carrasco.”
At that moment, in the audience on the second floor, one of the senators who had not said anything until now spoke for the first time.
An elderly lady who silently watched the judges with indifferent eyes.
As she sings Carrasco for the first time, all the judges’ eyes are focused on her.
The lady said without looking back at Carrasco.
“Stop broadcasting Assistant Professor Bylon’s announcement to the outside right now.”
“…yes?”
“Commander, don’t you know yet? It’s not just a trick that mimics the flying technique.”
The lady slowly turned her head.
Her aged eyes were shining with a vivid purple color.
“We may be witnessing the most complete demonstration of anti-gravity technology in history. Do you really not understand what this means?”
“…!!!!”
Air Force-related technology that the city government has been trying so hard to monopolize.
Something that far surpasses the fruits of investment and research that were attempted to preoccupy the right to provide air in the Balkans is being exposed to tens of thousands of citizens in real time.
It was only then that Carrasco’s expression, which had stopped watching Lennok’s presentation in a daze, turned terribly as if he had swallowed poison.
He took out his cell phone from his arms with lightning-like movements, and he called and screamed.
“Stop broadcasting right now, this is an order!!”
[The transmission system does not stop unless the entire camera control program has been hacked… … !!]
“Damn it!!!”
Something is going terribly wrong.
From the moment I started broadcasting Lennok’s announcement, and from the moment I heard his suggestion, my heart was twisted.
Perhaps from that point on, a deal was made to select the subject and winner at this fair.
“No no…this is not… … !!!”
Carrasco, who sensed this intuition, could not stand it and jumped up from his seat and ran out of the second floor seats.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of citizens gathered in the City Hall Plaza were watching Lennok’s announcement on a huge screen.
[Stable floating ability regardless of the environment.]
Lennok’s calm voice resonates throughout the plaza through the camera and microphone.
[Efficiency of horsepower consumption that surpasses the fuel efficiency of the flight technique.]
The expression of hundreds of people who were enjoying this situation, freed from the influence of gravity for a while, came up with a dumbfounded expression on camera.
Leap Leap Leap!!
Not only people, but also all sorts of props and objects such as seats and ladder bags that existed on the first floor began to float in the air.
[A new means of transportation that was not allowed in the Balkan sky.]
Whoa… … !!
Countless objects and people fill the air in the expansive lobby of the city hall and rise to the surface, floating leisurely as if in chorus.
While everything rises and floats as if against gravity, only one person remains on the ground.
The first demonstration of anti-gravity technology that overwhelms and encompasses any technology and research achievements possessed by the existing Air Force.
Standing with both feet in the center of the magnificent floating resonance phenomenon, Lennok stared blankly at the camera while holding the microphone.
As if trying to make eye contact with tens of thousands of people watching the screen at the same time.
[With this second thesis, I intend to offer a new route to all those living in the Balkans.]
Only Lennok’s voice echoed quietly in the quiet square.
[The route of the sky.]
