For the people of the Overworld, the "technological products" of the Tendo Temple brought them an unparalleled experience.
But for Fangzheng, the whimsical ideas of the people of the Overworld were equally interesting.
"Did you know? Ying Lili, I feel like I'm witnessing history. "
Fangzheng stood in front of a Transmutation Mage's booth with his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the behemoth in front of him. The behemoth looked like a rectangular box with five pairs of wheels at the bottom and a small magic crystal cannon installed on top. To put it bluntly, this was actually the prototype of the tank in the Overworld.
Fangzheng had read in history books that the people of his world invented the "first telephone", "first television", "first airplane", "first car" and so on. This made him very excited. But unfortunately, in his own world, Fangzheng was just an ordinary game designer. He had no chance of creating history.
But witnessing history was equally interesting.
The tank had many flaws, such as the fact that it didn't have tracks and the space inside the car was very small. The inventor had simply dismantled a small defensive cannon and installed it on the magic car. The magic car couldn't even move freely, but Fangzheng still watched it with great interest.
At the same time, he had to admit that magic couldn't be explained by science. After all, it had to be done according to science. Putting everything else aside, the magic carriage's current speed, the uneven ground, and the fact that its body was made of wood — just the force of the carriage's galloping was enough to crush the carriage into smithereens.
But after casting the "reinforcement spell", not only could the car completely made of wood withstand the galloping of the steel cannon weighing several tons, it could also withstand ordinary arrows and swords ….
If this happened on Earth, it would be enough to make a group of physicists doubt their lives.
"How does it feel?"
Fangzheng watched as the "tank" turned its cannon around and smashed a target in the distance into pieces. He turned to Ying Lili and asked curiously. He only brought Nimf and Ying Lili to the magic engineering conference. The former wanted to see the results of her work, while the latter didn't need to take the exam.
Asuna and the black cat were currently in the Tendo Temple making up for their lessons with tears and snot running down their faces.
That was normal. After all, would you still remember what you learned a year ago after going out to play for a year?
In order not to mess up the exam, the two had to give up on the idea of participating in the magic engineering conference and began to make up for their lessons.
Fortunately, there was still Zuo Cang Ci in the Heavenly Palace. Although he looked like a junior high school student, he had a formal teaching certificate, so it was not a problem for him to give the two of them special attention.
"It feels really complicated …. To be honest, I didn't expect magic to be so advanced."
Ying Lili's expression was as complicated as her tone, but Fangzheng could understand her feelings at the moment. From Ying Lili's point of view, the Origin World was actually a "medieval world that seemed to be filled with magical colors." Perhaps magic was indeed very interesting, but the people here didn't have internet, television, or even radios. Their weapons were also very simple and backward. This more or less made Ying Lili, who came from a modern society, feel somewhat proud.
After all, even without magic, humans could still live a very good life. But in Ying Lili's eyes, the lives of most people in this world were obviously not so good.
But when Ying Lili followed Fangzheng around the magic engineering conference and saw things like "Automatic Seeding Dolls" and "Fast Teleportation Portals", she was not so confident in her own thoughts.
After all, even Ying Lili knew that some things might not be created in her own world even after hundreds of years.
But here, there was already a prototype.
"That's not surprising. Humans on Earth have gone through thousands of years of development before they evolved from primitive people who ate raw meat and drank blood to what they are today."
Fangzheng appeared very calm.
"To be honest, I really look forward to seeing what this world will look like in a thousand years …. Provided that they don't court death again."
That's right, the biggest threat in this world now was that mages were too prone to court death. In fact, in essence, these mages were not much different from the mad scientists in Fangzheng's world. But the problem was that those mad scientists often had crazy ideas, but they lacked the power and resources to turn them into reality. On Earth, scientific research had many restrictions, such as resources, money, political support, and government agencies that could close down research facilities at any time.
But in this world, those mad mages not only had ideas, but also the ability to make them happen ….
More importantly, there were obviously no human rights or environmental protection organizations in this world that would impose sanctions on these mages. If there really were a bunch of idiots who raised their placards and went to the Magus Tower to protest, they could foresee their eventual fate of being burned to death.
You can stop a mage from treating human life as grass, but you can't stop a mage from researching magic.
Unless you're tired of living, that is.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Suddenly, at this moment, a muffled gun salute sounded, interrupting their conversation. Fangzheng looked up and saw bright red fireworks in the sky not far away.
"Mr. Fangzheng, is there an event?"
"Hmm …. I remember the Evocation Department's chief said that he's going to show off his new discovery at this magic engineering conference …."
Fangzheng thought for a moment and made a decision.
"Let's go and have a look."
Having been in the Origin World for so long, Fangzheng felt that there was nothing to be surprised about. But when he came to the booth of the Evocation Department's chief and saw the huge cannon barrel tens of meters high, as well as the missile-like shell erected beside it, Fangzheng could not help but let out a sigh.
"Ah, welcome, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
Upon seeing Fangzheng arrive, the Head of the evocation faculty walked over with a smile and greeted him.
"These two beautiful ladies are your companions, Mr. Fangzheng? That's nice. It reminds me of when I was young …. Well, let's not talk about the past. What do you think of my …. "
"This is …."
Fangzheng looked at the cannon barrel, then at the "missile" beside it. He exchanged a puzzled look with Ying Lili before he asked curiously.
"May I ask … what is this used for?"
"To explore the sky!"
"The sky?"
"That's right!"
The Evocation Department's chief nodded vigorously in response to Fangzheng's question.
"Aren't you curious about what's beyond the Firmament? What I'm going to do now is to explore the secrets of the Firmament Summit! Next, I'm going to put this cabin into the cannon barrel and shoot it straight into the sky like a cannonball! "
"That's … impossible, isn't it?"
Ying Lili could not help but ask.
"Of course, I've experimented before. The thrust alone isn't enough, but fortunately, I have a new idea."
As he spoke, the Evocation Department's chief patted the "missile" next to him.
"Look, I've added several interlayers at the back of this cabin. These interlayers are engraved with powerful explosive magic arrays. When the cabin is launched into the sky, once it can no longer rise, I'll detonate the magic array at the bottom to push the cabin forward! That way, as long as the magic power supply is maintained, I'll be able to fly into the sky! "
You came up with a multi-stage rocket propulsion system?
Fangzheng stared dumbfoundedly at the Evocation Department's chief in front of him. He was completely speechless. Ying Lili was also stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly thought of a question.
"Then, how are you going to come down after you go up?"
"Isn't that simple?"
The Evocation Department's chief was very calm in the face of Ying Lili's question.
"I've already set the coordinates of the plane in my mage tower. If anything happens, I can directly teleport back to the mage tower."
If the aerospace scientists on Earth heard this, they would definitely be angered to death.
"But … why do you need a cannon barrel?"
Ying Lili was speechless for a while. In the end, she had to ask another question that puzzled her. The Evocation Department's chief laughed.
"Isn't that obvious? Without a cannon barrel, what if the shot misses? "
