Chapter 275: Lynn: Is Ignorance Really Mine?
In the southern part of the kingdom, within Count Joyce's domain.
The wealthy merchants and minor nobles who were jubilant and eagerly anticipating the triumphant return of Grand Duke Rickman, fully expected that the army would crush Redell the next day. However, to their surprise, Redell and his large entourage returned to wreak havoc yet again.
This time, Redell showed no mercy. He pillaged homes, cleared opposition, and after a few days of turmoil, truly occupied the entire territory.
Taking over the various towns and villages went smoothly too. The private armies of the local nobility and the resisting forces often lost their ability to resist after a few rounds of gunfire.
In the Kingdom of Hadralata, territorial claims and wars of annexation among nobles were not uncommon, and the County of the Count had experienced several conflicts before.
Regardless of which army it was, once they invaded a territory, the soldiers would invariably engage in looting, burning, and pillaging, sometimes more viciously than bandits.
So, the commoners kept their doors tightly shut, some even fled their homes...
However, they soon discovered something unusual about this particular group carrying strange long sticks. Despite ravaging the nobles who opposed them, they not only refrained from demanding anything but also intended to distribute food, silver coins, and land to them...
It was like a dream.
Yet, many persisted in believing that it was all a deception, a ploy to gather everyone in the square and then massacre them.
Rumors were dispelled a few days later when those impoverished people who boldly received the wealth and provisions were still alive and well. There was no interference from the guards with those who took the money and provisions, preparing to leave the towns.
It dawned on everyone that perhaps this wasn’t a deception after all...
Could it be that their devout prayers had touched the great Lord of Stars, Ella, prompting the dispatch of divine messengers to establish a heavenly realm on earth?
Numerous rumors spread throughout the territory. After several days of interaction and communication, the impoverished and enslaved miners in the Count's domain gradually realized that these gun squads wielding strange long sticks with the power of fire were not from the heavens, nor were they emissaries of any deity.
They hailed from the land of wizards, a sacred land ruled purely by wizards, devoid of kings and nobles...
Wizards were undoubtedly seen as symbols of evil within the Sekas Empire.
Considering this, most people chose to stay indoors at night. However, the curious were equally abundant. A vacant space in the Count's domain quickly filled with people, all gazing wide-eyed at Lynn and others in the center, illuminated by torchlight.
In the light provided by the torches, they could see a pile of peculiar alchemical devices, unlike anything they had ever seen.
For this experiment, Lynn had managed to procure the latest models of generators, connecting them with fine copper wires to a rudimentary light bulb!
Since there was electricity, related electrical technologies naturally had to be showcased, and the most representative of these was undoubtedly the electric light!
Lynn had scoured the entire land of wizards but unexpectedly found an alternative to tungsten.
Tungsten was the ideal material for a light filament because of its high melting point. The filament glowed at a temperature of over 2000 degrees Celsius. At such a temperature, most metals would have melted, but tungsten's melting point was around 3400 degrees Celsius.
Secondly, tungsten had high resistance and poor conductivity, generating more heat compared to other metals when supplied with equal electrical current.
Lastly, it had stable chemical properties and strong oxidation resistance, ensuring a long lifespan for the light bulb. With proper craftsmanship, it could last for decades.
There weren't many metals that met these conditions and were cheap and plentiful. So Lynn had been agonizing over this for a long time until Philip reminded him to try using the hair of fire lions...
When Lynn heard this suggestion, his expression was incredibly strange. Using biological hair as a filament material? Wasn't that a joke?
However, after the experiment, Lynn was left embarrassed. The ignorant person turned out to be himself—the peculiarities of magical creatures surpassed his imagination...
