"Hey … Mr. Fangzheng, aren't you going to stop him?"
Ying Lili tugged on Fangzheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice as she watched the Head of the Evocation Department laugh and greet the others. She did not know the identity of the old man with the messy beard in front of her, nor did she know much about the necessary conditions for space travel.
But even if she had not eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. Ying Lili had seen a lot of the world in the Material World. She knew that it was not so easy for humans to step into space. Besides … this was a cannonball! Wasn't the old man afraid that he would die when he was shot out while sitting in the cannonball?
"What can I do?"
Fangzheng spread his hands helplessly.
"You can use your warship to send him up. Since this old man just wants to see the universe, wouldn't it be the same if you used your warship to send him up?"
"That's different."
However, Fangzheng shook his head in response to Ying Lili's suggestion. He looked at the back of the Head of the Evocation Department and did not say anything. In fact, Fangzheng could understand what the Head of the Evocation Department was thinking.
Indeed, there were not many White Tower mages who were idiots, and the Head of the Evocation Department was an excellent and intelligent mage. Of course, they would not think that even if their own warship could not fly up, Fangzheng's warship could.
But why didn't they say anything?
The reason was simple. It was because of the pride of the technicians.
Mages were explorers, researchers, and pioneers of magic. They would not allow themselves to bow down to magic without going through all the experimental methods. Only when these mages had exhausted all the methods they had used and found that they still could not achieve their goals would they consider asking for help from others.
Besides … having someone else's technology was not as secure as having it in their own hands.
The reason why the White Tower agreed to Fangzheng's display of the communication network so easily was that they didn't have any research results in this area. Just as Ogland had thought, the White Tower and the Country of Magic actually didn't do much research on long-distance communication. Besides, most of them didn't realize what the information society represented. Besides, although the Tendo Temple wasn't their ally, they were still friends.
Therefore, in order to obtain this "small" convenience, the Country of Magi allowed the Tendo Temple to move the crystal tower and cell phone out.
But exploring the skies is different.
Unlike information technology, the Country of Magic had already opened up the flight technology tree. They had their own magic warships and were working hard to upgrade and strengthen their technology tree. Under such circumstances, if they chose to seek help from Fangzheng, it would be equivalent to completely abandoning the results of the Country of Magic's centuries of hard work and turning to "cozying up to him."
This was unacceptable to any ambitious technical researcher.
Be it technology or magic, it was the same.
The same was true for the country Fangzheng was born in. Because of the foreign blockade, many technology trees had to be climbed from scratch, so he respected the self-esteem of these researchers very much. After all, without the pride of these researchers, his country wouldn't have been able to stand tall among the nations of the world. It would have been like some stupid country that drank water from the Ganges River and caused a passenger plane to crash just by typing a code. It would have been a parasite to others for the rest of its life.
As the saying went, those who insisted on building were better than buying, and those who insisted on renting were better than selling were traitors!
Therefore, even though Fangzheng knew about the Head of Evocation's plan, he didn't try to stop it. Besides …
"Don't worry, these mages won't die no matter what they do."
If it was on Earth, Fangzheng would definitely stop those researchers who wanted to use him for experiments. But in this world, the Head of Evocation, a legendary mage ….
Well …. Fangzheng felt that even if the world was destroyed, he would be one of the last to die.
After all, the ability of mages to escape was well known, which was why they were so keen on seeking death.
Because most of the time, they wouldn't die even if they sought death.
Take Colette, for example. When the Head of Necromancy tried to resurrect the dead cells, she didn't seem to consider the biochemical crisis this might cause at all. She was an undead creature, a vampire, and a legendary necromancer.
No matter how mutated the cells were, it was impossible for them to reach the point where they could kill her.
Therefore, Fangzheng was sure that when Colette planned to do the experiment, she had never thought about safety, let alone care about biochemical contamination or leakage.
But other people still needed to be considered ….
So, just in case, Fangzheng ordered the Stone Village and the two destroyers in the low-Earth orbit of the main world to pay attention to the problem here.
Hmm …. He wondered how the Head of Evocation would react when he rushed into space and saw them.
As Fangzheng expected, when the Head of Evocation announced his plan to everyone, almost everyone gave him a warm round of applause. No one stood up and shouted things like "You're tired of living, old man" or "This is suicide". This was normal. Once someone said something like that, no one would know who would die first.
Then, Fangzheng saw the Head of Evocation greet everyone with a smile. He walked to the side of the missile, opened a magic door, and walked in. The next moment, with the glow of a teleportation spell, the "missile" disappeared in front of everyone's eyes and was teleported into the huge cannon that was tens of meters high.
Oh, that's right, it wasn't a missile. According to the Head of Evocation, this was a small mage tower. He planned to launch this small mage tower into the sky, and if the situation permitted, he even wanted to fix this mage tower on the top of the sky as an observation station ….
Just like that, the world that had just stepped into the industrial revolution completed all the preparatory work, from launching a rocket to building a near-Earth space station.
This was enough to make all the aerospace scientists on Earth vomit blood and die.
"What do you think are the chances of him succeeding? Nimf? "
Fangzheng, who was standing in the distance, looked curiously at the cannon in front of him while asking the little angel beside him. In response to Fangzheng's question, Nimf thought for a moment before giving a cautious answer.
"For now, the success rate isn't low."
"Huh? Really? "
Ying Lili was even more surprised when she heard Nimf's answer. To be honest, if she were to go and watch, this thing …. would never succeed no matter how she looked at it!
"After all, strength creates miracles. Let's take a look."
While saying that, Fangzheng snapped his fingers. A protective barrier immediately appeared to protect the three of them. At that moment, a dazzling flash suddenly erupted from the cannon's muzzle, illuminating the entire sky.
A huge shockwave and a deafening explosion almost enveloped the entire sky. Fortunately, because of the protection spell, Fangzheng and the others were not hurt by the loud sound and the explosion.
However …. the others who were watching the show were obviously not so lucky.
"This is the result of watching an atomic bomb test without sunglasses."
Looking at the nobles and mages lying on the ground and rolling on the ground not far away, Fangzheng silently complained. He waved his hand and opened his personal terminal.
Let's see how far the most courageous Head of Evocation in human history can go.
