"I say...Mr. Fang Zheng, aren't you going to stop him?"
Seeing the head of the Shaper Department laughing and greeting others, Ying Lili couldn't help but pull Fang Zheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice. She didn't know the identity of the old man with a messy beard like dead grass, and she didn't know much about the necessary conditions for space travel.
But even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. In the mass world, Eriri has seen a lot of things and knows that it is not so easy for humans to step into the universe. Moreover... this is a cannonball! Isn't the old man afraid that he will die when he is shot out if he sits in it?
"What can I do?"
Fang Zheng spread his hands helplessly.
"You can use your battleship to send him up there. Since this old man just wants to see the universe, then isn't it the same if you use your battleship to send him up there?"
“That’s different.”
However, facing Ying Lili's suggestion, Fang Zheng shook his head. He looked at the back of the head of the Transfiguration Department and didn't say much. In fact, Fang Zheng could understand the head of the Transfiguration Department's idea.
Indeed, there were not many idiots among the White Tower mages, and the chief was an excellent and intelligent mage. Of course, they could not have thought that their own magic warships could not fly up there, but Fang Zheng's warships could definitely fly up there.
But why don't they speak up?
It's simple, this is due to the arrogance of technicians.
Mages are explorers, researchers, and pioneers of magic. They do not allow themselves to give up without going through all the experimental means. Unless these mages have tried all the methods they have tried and still cannot achieve their goals, they will consider asking for help from others.
Besides... after all, other people's technology is not as secure as having it in your own hands.
The reason why the White Tower agreed so easily to Fang Zheng's demonstration of the communication network was because they did not have any research results in this regard. Just as Oglan had thought before, the White Tower and the Magic Kingdom did not actually do much research in long-distance communications, and most of them did not realize what the information society represented. In addition, although the Tiandao Palace was not their ally at present, it was also a friend.
Therefore, in order to obtain this "little" convenience, the Magic Kingdom allowed the Tiandao Palace to move out the crystal tower and mobile phones.
But exploring the sky is different.
Unlike information technology, the Magic Kingdom has already opened up the flight technology tree. They have their own magic warships and are working hard to upgrade and enhance the technology tree. In this case, if they choose to ask Fang Zheng for help, it would be equivalent to completely abandoning the results of the Magic Kingdom's hundreds of years of hard work and turning to "clinging to someone else".
This is unacceptable to any ambitious technical researcher.
The same goes for both technology and magic.
The same is true for the country where Fang Zheng was born. Because of the blockade by foreign countries, many technological trees have to be climbed from scratch, so he respects the self-esteem of these researchers. After all, without the pride of these researchers, his country would not be able to stand tall among the nations of the world, and would only be like some stupid countries that drink Ganges water and can even cause a passenger plane to crash by typing a code, and would be a parasite of others for the rest of their lives.
Those who insist that it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy are all traitors!
Therefore, even though Fang Zheng knew the plan of the head of the Shaping Department, he had no intention of trying to stop it, and...
"Don't worry, these mages won't die no matter how hard they try."
If it was on Earth, and those researchers wanted to use him for experiments, Fang Zheng would definitely stop them. But in this world, a chief of the Transmutation Department, a legendary wizard...
Well... Fang Zheng felt that even if the world was destroyed, he would be the last one to die.
After all, the mages' ability to escape is well known, which is why they are so keen on seeking death.
Because most of the time they can't die even if they try to kill themselves.
Just like Colette, the chief of the necromancy department, when she tried to revive the dead cells, she seemed to have completely ignored the biochemical crisis that might be caused by this, because she herself is an undead creature, a vampire, and a legendary necromancer.
No matter how much a cell mutates, it is impossible for it to kill her.
Therefore, Fang Zheng was sure that when Colette planned to do the experiment, she did not think about the safety issues at all, let alone care about biochemical pollution and leakage.
But there are others to consider...
So just in case, Fang Zheng gave orders to the Ishimura and two destroyers in the low-Earth orbit of the main world, asking them to pay attention to the problems here.
Hmm... I don't know how the chief will react when he sees them after he rushes into space.
As Fang Zheng expected, when the head of the Shaping Department announced his plan to everyone, almost everyone gave a warm applause. No one stood up and shouted "You old man are really tired of living" or "This is simply suicide" - this is also normal. Once such words are said, there is no telling who will die first.
Then Fang Zheng saw the chief of the Transfiguration Department smilingly greeted everyone, then walked to the side of the missile, opened a magic door and walked in. Then the next moment, accompanied by the brilliance of the teleportation spell, the "missile" disappeared from everyone's sight, and then teleported into the huge cannon barrel that was dozens of meters high.
Oh, by the way, this is not called a missile. According to the chief of the Transmutation Department, this is a small wizard tower. He intends to launch this small wizard tower into the sky, and if the situation permits, he even wants to fix this wizard tower on the top of the sky as an observation station...
So this world, which had just entered the era of the Industrial Revolution, directly completed all the preparations from launching rockets to building a near-Earth space station.
This is enough to make all the aerospace scientists who have come one after another on Earth for nearly a hundred years vomit blood and die.
"What do you think the chances are that he will succeed, Nymph?"
Standing in the distance, Fang Zheng looked at the cannon in front of him curiously while asking the little angel beside him. Facing Fang Zheng's question, Nymph thought for a moment before giving a cautious answer.
"For now, the success rate is still not low."
"Eh? Really?"
After hearing Nymph's answer, Eriri was even more surprised. To be honest, if she were to go and see, this thing... no matter how she looked at it, it would be impossible for it to be successful!
"After all, great strength can produce miracles. Let's see."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and the next moment, a protective barrier appeared, protecting the three of them. Then, at this moment, a dazzling flash suddenly emanated from the cannon, illuminating the entire sky.
The huge air wave and the deafening dull explosion almost covered the entire sky. Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the protective spell, Fang Zheng and others were not harmed by the huge sound and the explosion.
However... the other onlookers were obviously not so lucky.
"That's what happens when you go to watch an atomic bomb test without sunglasses."
Looking at the nobles and mages lying and rolling on the ground not far away, Fang Zheng complained silently, then waved his hand and opened his personal terminal.
Next, let us see how far this most courageous and enterprising chief in human history can go.
