It didn't take long for Fang Zheng to quickly capture the missile that was rapidly rising in the atmosphere - oh, no, the Mage Tower.

But to be honest, if Fang Zheng were to say, this cylindrical thing with a pointed top and all white in color looks like an intercontinental missile.

At this moment, the bottom of the "missile" was emitting flames that were no less than those of a real rocket launch, carrying it rapidly into the sky.

One thousand meters, five thousand meters, ten thousand meters...

Soon, Fang Zheng saw the flames at the bottom of the "missile" in front of him quickly extinguished, and the "missile" that had lost its propulsion power was obviously about to fall. However, at this moment...

"boom!!"

Along with the flickering light in the sky and another loud roar, Fang Zheng saw a layer at the bottom of the "missile" suddenly explode, followed by a series of flames spurting out, carrying the "missile" that had already lost its balance to continue flying upwards.

20,000 meters... 30,000 meters...

The "missile" continued to rise, and it stalled several times in succession, but each time it successfully ignited and continued to climb upward. However, the situation was not so beautiful.

"It's already off the mark. I think it's over."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng shook his head. Although every time the "missile" was about to go out, the chief of the Transfiguration Department would activate the flame jet hidden in the next layer to take over, but its launch angle inevitably changed. At the moment, this "missile" was no longer flying straight into the sky, but flying diagonally to the other side. If it continued like this, it would eventually draw a big arc in the air and then fall headfirst to the ground.

So, does the chief have any good way to solve this problem? After all, this is just the most rudimentary rocket, and the propulsion device is only installed at the bottom of the "missile". There is no way to adjust the direction, so... how does the wizard solve this problem?

However, before Fang Zheng could finish his words, a scene that left him speechless appeared.

Next to the soaring "missile", a huge golden hand condensed by magic power suddenly appeared out of thin air. Then Fang Zheng saw this hand grab the "missile" and help it to correct its direction...

Fang Zheng: “…”

Why the hell should I talk about science in a wizarding world?

This is the scariest thing about mages. You can quote classics and use all kinds of data to prove that their approach is absolutely wrong, but mages can still get the right results through their magical powers...

So mages always like to commit suicide and never get tired of it.

but……

Fang Zheng frowned as he looked at the Mage Tower that had already broken through the atmosphere.

Some things still make sense.

At the same time, in the Mage Tower, the Chief of the Transmutation Department was standing on the balcony, stroking his beard and looking at the scenery outside with pride. Of course, he was not wearing a space suit, nor an oxygen mask, and there was no glass on his balcony. A layer of light shield completely isolated his precious little Mage Tower from the outside world. And even if this barrier was broken, the old mage was not worried, because the spells he cast were enough to protect him from surviving in any environment.

"I never thought that we actually live on a ball..."

Looking at the blue planet under his feet, the chief of the Transfiguration Department whispered to himself. He clenched his fists and stared at the land under his feet. Just now, in his eyes, this land was still vast and boundless. But now, the chief of the Transfiguration Department has discovered that this land is only a part of this planet.

Even this ball is just a drop in the ocean.

What's out there?

At this moment, this old man, who has lived for nearly a hundred years, suddenly developed an uncontrollable curiosity.

If their world is only this big, then what is there outside of their world? Are there other planets beside their home? Are there other lives on them like theirs?

For a moment, the Chief of the Transfiguration Department even wanted to drive the Mage Tower to continue exploring outward, but unfortunately, all the magic crystals in the explosive fire circle he had used at the bottom of the Mage Tower had been consumed, and more importantly... at this moment... the Chief of the Transfiguration Department could feel that his Mage Tower was slowly falling!

Failed? What happened?

The Chief of the Transmutation Department frowned when he noticed that his Mage Tower was starting to fall. He originally thought that if the stars could float in the sky, then his Mage Tower could also float in the sky. He even thought that after flying up, he would find the brightest star and place the Mage Tower there.

But now... there is nothing here!

What should I do? Why can those stars float in the air, but my own magic tower can't? Is it because the distance is not far enough? That's right, I can't see any stars nearby, which means that those stars must be farther away. And now... obviously I'm not far enough.

If Fang Zheng were here, he could explain to the chief of the Shaping Department - this was a failure to enter orbit!

After all, sending an object into low-Earth orbit is a very difficult task, which requires a lot of close calculations and angle designs. Although a series of problems during the previous launch were overcome by the chief of the Shaping Department, when faced with something that relies purely on calculations and luck, it is obviously not enough to just rely on courage.

The Mage Tower had not entered the low-Earth orbit, and its fall was only a matter of time. Then the Chief of the Transmutation Department had only one choice, which was to immediately activate the teleportation to leave the Mage Tower that was about to fall and return to his home. However, looking at the blue planet not far away, the Chief of the Transmutation Department felt a little regretful.

If he could find a place to fix this magic tower, he could study new magic and explore new worlds here. Although the head of the Shaper Department was prepared for failure when building this magic tower, it would take a lot of time to build a better magic tower. And for him, time... was already a problem.

“——”

However, just when the Chief of the Shaping Department was hesitating, he suddenly felt that the light shining above his head was blocked by something, and a huge dark shadow slowly emerged, covering the small wizard tower.

What is that? Is there some monster hiding in the starry sky?

Seeing this shadow, the Chief of the Shaping Department's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly raised his head and looked upwards.

Then the old wizard couldn't help but gasp.

Above his Mage Tower, a huge metal warship was floating there. The cargo hold below it slowly opened. Then, the old mage saw a strange energy beam shooting out from it and hitting his own Mage Tower. However, this did not activate the defense array of the Mage Tower. On the contrary, this strange beam seemed to have some kind of attraction, tightly "grasping" the Mage Tower, adjusting its position, and then quickly retracting it.

At this time, the Chief of the Shaping Department had already realized that his magic tower did not continue to descend, but was already floating steadily here, with no sign of falling anymore.

After doing this, the metal battleship slowly turned and flew away, and the old wizard looked at the shadow of the metal battleship going away and smiled.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago... Tiandao Palace Tiandao Palace... you are naturally in the sky, right?"
