I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 122

Chapter 122

“No, no, still no good.”

Fang Bai frowned, the Electromagnetic Cannon spell model failing to improve time and time again.

Beside him, Wang Kai was diligently trying to independently construct the Spider Demon spell model, attempting to enter a cultivation state by himself.

Naturally, it was Fang Bai who taught him the spell model and the method of constructing it, along with the meditation method.

Even Ding Shan, who had almost reached the point of independently researching the environment for spellcasting, Fang Bai naturally wouldn’t hide anything from his trusted followers.

Moreover, Fang Bai had gradually come to understand that for a mage, the most important thing was the way of thinking, not these small techniques or introductory knowledge.

Therefore, Fang Bai no longer minded these things, or rather, he had gained a certain degree of confidence in spreading them.

Just like the textbooks of nine-year compulsory education, anyone could learn from them, but what they learned still depended on the individual.

However, it was clear that although Fang Bai had imparted the methods to Wang Kai, Wang Kai had still not grasped the basics and hadn’t successfully cast a single spell so far.

Even with Fireball and Water Shield, it was the same story.

This made Fang Bai certain once again that Fireball and Water Shield were One-Ring Spells, and that there should be a stage before One-Ring Spells, a stage that used spell structures.

Perhaps this stage should be called Minor Spells, or Mage Apprentice.

Only by truly becoming a mage could one normally cast One-Ring Spells. As for higher-level spells…

Fang Bai thought that what apprentices used on the second layer was called spell structures, and what mages used on the third layer was called spells.

And further up, there should be mages who used the fourth layer of spell architecture, but Fang Bai wasn’t quite sure what this level was called.

Clearly, each level, each layer, possessed a qualitative difference.

And Fang Bai was currently probably stuck around the second layer. As for Wang Kai?

He hadn’t even entered the first layer yet, not even considered a Mage Apprentice.

This made Fang Bai realize that being a mage really depended on talent.

Wang Kai’s progress, whether it was considered fast or slow, Fang Bai felt that he would most likely be a Knight for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Fang Bai didn’t expect to teach him other spells, but focused on teaching him the Spider Demon’s spell model, so that he could reach the standard for self-cultivation as soon as possible.

And in this way, whether it was due to muscle memory or because Fang Bai had constructed it many times, he actually made faster progress with the Spider Demon spell model and could now try to construct it himself.

Wang Kai tried again and again, failed again and again, and so did Fang Bai.

After many failed attempts without a clue, Fang Bai finally stopped, looked at the Electromagnetic Cannon that couldn’t even be broken by cola, and fell into deep thought.

“The lightning released by the Lightning Spell can even pierce through the air and directly blast a pit in the ground. The energy contained within it is definitely very high.

There’s no doubt about this.”

Fang Bai said softly. This was actually the reason why he thought the Lightning Spell could achieve the Electromagnetic Cannon.

After all, although the Electromagnetic Cannon was a power-hungry device, the heavier, larger, and faster the projectile it launched, the more power it consumed.

But Fang Bai didn’t need the Electromagnetic Cannon to be that powerful. He only needed it to launch the bearing steel ball with the power of an anti-materiel sniper rifle.

In that case, this amount of electricity should be able to support it.

And now that it wasn’t enough, it gave Fang Bai an idea.

“There’s so much energy here, but the speed of the steel ball launched is so slow, not even as fast as a slingshot.

Logically speaking, if such powerful energy were only used to push out a steel ball, it could definitely achieve the power I expected. The power is like this, but where did all this energy go?”

A term emerged in Fang Bai’s mind.

Internal friction or loss!

The energy of the lightning formed six rings of lightning, providing a magnetic field.

It could make the steel ball levitate, which meant there was a magnetic field.

But it also meant that the magnetic fields between the two rings were relative and squeezing each other.

Because only in this way could it explain why the steel ball was levitating instead of being pushed forward. In other words…

The magnetic fields between each pair of lightning rings were squeezing and repelling each other. The steel ball would accelerate slightly as it passed through one lightning ring, then decelerate slightly as it entered the second due to repulsion, then accelerate again…

“Playing like this, it’s a miracle that the steel ball can even be shot out.”

Fang Bai had been blinded by joy before and hadn’t noticed this very, very obvious problem. Now that he had reviewed it, he immediately understood everything.

“As long as the direction of the magnetic field is adjusted to the same direction… Wait, how do I do that?”

Fang Bai suddenly didn’t know what to do. He suddenly realized a problem.

“Spell knowledge is very rigorous and cannot tolerate any negligence.

But isn’t modern technology the same? Can modern technology be careless?

I’m just an amateur, not even a real scientist, who has casually learned a bit. It would be a miracle if I could actually make it work, right?”

Fang Bai finally came to his senses and dispelled the Lightning Spell model he was preparing.

“If I want to use modern technology to create related spells, then I must first thoroughly research the technology and its theory.

Only then can I create spells based on the principles.

If I want to create an Electromagnetic Cannon spell, I must first understand the principles of how an electromagnetic cannon fires, and so on.

Only after understanding it can I think of ways to replace the effects of the barrel, magnetic field, and energy source with spell effects, thereby creating an Electromagnetic Cannon spell.

Now?

Just like the videos I watched before, making a toy is fine, but wanting to directly create a weapon?

Dream on.”

Fang Bai held a black pen, sat upright, and wrote down the process, ideas, results, and changes in his mindset of this experiment in his notebook, bit by bit.

Finally, he used a red pen to write a conclusion at the end.

“Mages are just researchers who study spells, that’s all. Mages are no nobler than researchers in research institutes.

Spell knowledge is not nobler or superior to scientific knowledge. There’s nothing to brag about knowing spells. Scientific knowledge also needs to be respected and studied seriously.

It’s not like becoming a mage means that scientific knowledge can be ignored.”

Looking at this bright red sentence, Fang Bai reflected deeply and put a full stop at the end.

Then he picked up his pen and wrote:

“Read, learn, and maintain awe!”

Fang Bai’s heart calmed down. He turned his head and glanced at Wang Kai, who was still trying. He hadn’t succeeded yet.

It had to be said that Wang Kai’s talent in magic was indeed not very strong. He was probably destined to be a Knight in this life.

Fang Bai shook his head slightly at this, walked over, and helped him enter a cultivation state.

“Stop messing around and cultivate properly. Remember the spell model well.”

Su Yu transmigrated to another world and found it was an era where a zombie apocalypse had erupted, but his system cheat made him plant trees!

Awakening the Tree Planting System, he gained various abilities through planting trees and constantly grew stronger.

Just planting trees can make you stronger!?

Just planting trees can kill zombies!?

Many people were also puzzled. Why did Su Yu always plant trees? What was the use of planting trees?

Until that day, when the zombie horde surrounding the city retreated, in that sea of blood and mountains of zombie corpses, people unexpectedly discovered a towering tree.

The towering tree had lush branches and leaves, and there were countless vines on it.

And on those vines, there were actually countless zombies hanging!

Only then did people realize that this tree person was not simple!

【Types of Trees】

【Divine Tree: Can absorb zombie crystals or corpses to grow, can bloom, bear fruit, and breed. Flowers can absorb and become stronger, fruits can be eaten to break through, and breeding can bring tree species from the system into reality for planting.

Seeds can be given to others to plant, but the system will automatically receive half of the benefits, similar to a distribution model.】

【Lingxiao Tree: Another name for the Vine Tree! Each stage of growth can grow a vine, each vine is a tentacle monster, can attack, defend, and can also breed, brought out of the system into reality. For every vine tree cultivated in reality, the vine tree in the system will grow one more vine.】
