Chapter 399: We must believe in science, oh no, believe in magic!

In the royal capital, rumors that the earthquake was the wrath of God quickly spread, and even reached the ears of the parliamentarians.

The wizards who were doing research naturally scoffed at this rumor. Although earthquakes did not occur often, they definitely had nothing to do with that false god.

Anthony and other great wizards received secret information that Lin En and several speakers had left the capital that day and went to unknown places. Then the earthquake occurred.

Maybe it has something to do with the new magic that the magic star is tinkering with.

However, the parliament took these groundless but quickly spreading rumors very seriously. Lynn instantly guessed that there must be someone behind this who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, so he asked Redel to lead some musketeers to lurk among the crowd, and used a high reporting reward system to catch more than a dozen imperial spies who spread the rumors.

In order to calm the panic of the people in the capital, Lin En personally wrote a document called "On the Influence of Crustal Movement", which explained the cause of earthquakes from a scientific perspective. It was a very normal natural phenomenon, not the so-called wrath of God or punishment from God, so that the people in the capital would not be too panicked...

They must believe in science, oh no, in magic!

……

At noon the next day, Lin En, who had finally had some free time, was able to sit leisurely in the yard of the manor and bask in the sun. He had been very busy in the past half month.

The high and mighty false god [Ella] is like a sword of Damocles hanging over one's head, which may fall at any time, and one can do nothing about it.

Now they at least have a chance to fight!

Although it is limited to this...

Because after they separated the hundreds of demon stones, they only got about 50 kilograms of nuclear fuel.

The critical point of uranium 235's nuclear explosion is about 15 kilograms, which means that even if the minimum amount is used, his large-scale nuclear explosion technique is only enough to release three times.

In order to verify this magic, he had already used it once yesterday. Facts have proved that his theory and the model of the nuclear explosion are extremely correct. The mass-energy equation is also universal in this alien world!

Considering safety issues, Harov, Aurora and Vittorio who went to watch the explosion together did not see the explosion in person, but they saw the horrific scene after the explosion...

All the protective magic they had set up underground for testing was destroyed in an instant, and the entire mine collapsed. Even the earthquake caused by the aftermath could reach the royal capital dozens of kilometers away, causing huge chaos.

The scene after the explosion shocked Harov and his companions. After removing some of the buried boulders, they discovered that the entire nuclear explosion area had turned into a scorched earth. The scorching heat inside was enough to bake a person into a mummy in an instant, and the strong radioactive particles filled the entire space...

Once they release the anti-radiation magic, these horrific radioactive particles will surge up instantly and disintegrate their bodies at the atomic level.

With such power, the so-called fourth-ring magic [Life Forbidden Zone] and even the advanced sixth-ring magic [Death Domain] are just child's play. This is the real hell!

So much so that when Harov came out of the collapsed mine, his legs were a little weak, but he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

Lin En was not surprised at all. Although the mass-energy conversion rate of a nuclear explosion was less than one thousandth, far less than the annihilation of matter and antimatter, it was still a force at the atomic level after all!

The energy released by the fission of just one kilogram of uranium is equivalent to the power of the explosion of 2 tons of TNT!

This was the first time in human history that this kind of weapon was used. Just like this test explosion, it only had a critical mass of a few dozen kilograms, but it directly destroyed an entire city!

However, considering the terrifying power displayed by Ella, which was enough to directly manipulate atoms and freeze everything, Lin En estimated that he had to put the other party at the center of the nuclear explosion in order to kill or severely injure this false god.

Judging from the current nuclear fuel reserves, he only has two chances to take action!

This was also thanks to the excrement left behind by the magical beasts that could devour uranium ore - thousands of demon stones. Otherwise, it would take at least half a year for them to slowly mine the uranium ore and extract and separate it, and that was at the speed of magic!

The uranium content in uranium ore is not high, and uranium 235 is even less. To obtain 1 kilogram of weapon-grade uranium-235, at least 200 tons of uranium ore must be mined. The critical mass of 3000 kilograms is tons!

In addition, uranium mining is extremely dangerous. Even with the use of magic, it would take several months to mine three thousand tons of ore, not to mention the time required for the separation and extraction steps.

As for the hydrogen bomb, it is used to increase the power of nuclear explosions and is effective in removing radiation. The disadvantage is that it also requires an atomic bomb to detonate...

Unless he can be promoted to a true legendary wizard, perhaps he will be able to directly use tritium as the material for the nuclear explosion!

Now the only hope is that the second group of wizards sent by the parliament can find the strange monster that devours radioactive elements in the intricate and extremely dangerous uranium mine cave. If they can tame it, then the magical version of the nuclear fuel plant will be built!

"Dean Lin En..."

Just as Lin En was thinking about it, Lydia ran out of the yard happily. Her childish face was gray and her clothes were covered with dust, but this still couldn't hide the excitement on her face.

"It seems that your aircraft has been completed..." Lin En thought about it and immediately guessed the source of the girl's excitement.

"Yes, yes, we can test fly today!" Lydia nodded repeatedly, her words full of joy, and she quickly pulled Lin En and ran out.

Unlike airships that rely on helium lift to take off, the new aircraft require runways to assist in flying, and for the sake of confidentiality they are all located outside the city.

If this test flight goes smoothly, we might be able to catch up with the next battle.

The new king of Hadratha, Hattar, has been urging them for a whole month, sending people almost every day to ask them when they will launch a counterattack to regain the kingdom's territory.

After witnessing the power of the nuclear explosion, several speakers unanimously agreed that the time for counterattack had come and agreed to King Hattar's counterattack plan!

Even in order to reduce losses, they have to push the battlefield into the territory of the empire!

You know, one nuclear explosion means the fall of a city. If they fight in the royal capital, they will suffer a great loss!

Chapter 400: New Magic Fighter

In a hidden valley in the southern part of the royal capital, hundreds of formal wizards proficient in elemental science worked together, using a ring of magic to turn mud into stone, and built a three-kilometer-long, extremely neat runway overnight!

At the end of the runway, a huge fighter plane stood there, with a streamlined shape, beautiful and exquisite, like an eagle spreading its wings...

"I didn't expect that this kind of aircraft was actually built!" Orlando said with emotion.

The scene of Lydia's test flight at Ietta Harbor two years ago was still fresh in his memory. At that time, it was just a very simple framework, looking like a childish big toy full of fantasies.

The result was just as he expected. After flying into the sky, the entire aircraft fell apart in just a few seconds. If Master Hellram hadn't rescued her in time, the halfling girl would have been smashed into a meat pie...

However, the improved version of the aircraft in front of him was different. The entire structure was changed from wood to steel, and the crude and simple shell became exquisite. The improvement was so great that it was difficult for people to connect the two together...

"Captain Lydia reports that all components of the first-generation fighter have been inspected and everything is normal!" After inspecting the aircraft, Lydia reported in a pretentious manner.

In fact, she couldn't wait to conduct a test flight, but Lin En forced her to check all the important parts of the aircraft before boarding.

Lydia couldn't help but mutter to herself that the dean was too cautious, even though she had already checked it carefully yesterday.

"Let's start!" Lynn nodded.

"Okay!" After receiving the instruction, Lydia immediately climbed into the cockpit, put on various protective gear, and moved the switches.

Powered by the powerful hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine, the propeller at the front quickly began to spin rapidly.

The fierce wind blew up the dust on the ground, and under the gaze of the wizards, the first generation of propeller planes quickly rushed out...

"So fast!" Vittorio on the side narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but say. In just ten seconds, the speed of the fighter jet had exceeded the maximum speed of the alchemy car.

It was as fast as a gust of wind, and everyone could feel the powerful pressure when it passed by.

Lydia, who was inside the fighter, felt it even more strongly. Everything around her was moving away quickly, turning into afterimages. This was much faster than the airship...

The propeller at the front even appeared to be reversed visually, and the next moment the fighter began to climb, rising into the sky in an instant.

Lydia soon discovered the difference between flying a fighter jet and an airship. It was very light and not bulky at all. She could turn and climb in the air at any time as long as she wanted.

She seemed to have transformed into a flying bird, flying freely in the sky and having a lot of fun.

"How fast can this new aircraft go?" Orlando couldn't help but ask as he watched the propeller plane continue to speed up in the sky and seemed not to have reached its limit yet.

"Theoretically, the maximum speed should be able to reach about 360 kilometers per hour..." Lin En said after hesitation. After all, this is the first generation of fighter jets, and its performance is relatively conservative.

"This is too fast!" Orlando said in amazement. Its speed was three times that of an airship and far exceeded any known flying magical beast. It could be said that nothing could catch up with this new type of aircraft in the air. Those griffins couldn't even eat dust behind it.

Lin En smiled and didn't reply. If this thing was compared with a jet fighter, it could only be said to be as slow as a snail. But in this alien world, it was already the undisputed overlord of the sky!

Vittorio, who was standing by, looked at the fighter planes that kept turning and rising in the sky, and suddenly asked, "Are you going to use this so-called new aircraft to cooperate with that nuclear explosion magic?"

Yesterday he felt the power of a nuclear explosion across the entire mine. While he was shocked by its power, he was also quite worried because the range of this thing was too wide. How to use it effectively and protect himself while killing the enemy was a very important issue.

Now it seems that using this extremely fast aircraft is a good idea. Lydia can be responsible for driving, and Lin En can cast magic from the sky beside her. Then, when the explosion occurs, relying on the extraordinary speed of the fighter jet, they can leave the area before the shock wave of the nuclear explosion catches up...

"This is the last resort. It's best not to do that unless it's absolutely necessary!" Lin En shook his head and said cautiously.

The large-scale nuclear explosion is best used only on Ella, or to destroy the main force of the empire when the situation is extremely critical. The role of fighter bombing is limited to the latter, or to destroy cities.

It is fun to do this, but the aftereffects are also extremely serious.

After all, they are here to lead the people of the empire to resist the deception of the church, not to continue the tyranny and create more panic and unrest... This is completely causing trouble for themselves and increasing the pressure of their rule.

"I think it's best to throw the nuclear explosion magic into that place... That way it won't have any impact on the outside world!" Lin En said after pondering.

"What do you mean?" Vittorio's mind moved, and he immediately thought of the Gate of Heaven, the portal connecting the Kingdom of God and reality.

If we could find a way to send nuclear explosion magic in at the moment when those legendary priests open the gates to heaven, and kill the caster at the same time, then the nuclear explosion would only be launched inside the kingdom of God. This is indeed the best plan, and we can use this highly lethal, large-scale magic without any scruples.

“It’s not easy to grasp the timing so skillfully.” Vittorio said solemnly.

Hearing Lynn and Vittorio talking about the use of the new magic, Orlando and the others pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

They were very interested in the new magic developed by the dean, or it could be said that there was no one in the entire parliament who did not want to know about it. Now it had become a hot topic of discussion - after all, it was said that this was magic that could be used to deal with that false god!

I don't know if the sudden earthquake yesterday is related to this new magic...

It's a pity that both Lin En and the speakers kept it a secret, with no intention of revealing anything. Even their words were vague and confusing, which really made people confused...

Chapter 401: Do you want your fighter jet to fly as fast as light?

While Orlando and others were eavesdropping, Lydia, who was controlling the first-generation fighter in the sky, gradually became familiar with the big toy under her and soon began to test the combat!

Lydia pressed the engine wrench all the way to the bottom, increasing the speed to the limit, and then dived downward.

The entire fuselage was like a giant eagle, falling rapidly from the sky, causing a huge sound of breaking through the air, but the next moment it was drowned out by the sound of machine guns on both sides of the wings!

The stone road surface reinforced by magic was immediately dotted with potholes. Lydia stretched the aircraft with great excitement, changing from a rapid descent to a rapid ascent. The fighter jet flew by only 30 meters above the ground. Seeing Orlando and the others, they were terrified, fearing that this thing would lose control and fall headfirst...

Their worries did not come true. Although it was Lydia's first time to fly a real fighter jet, her operating skills were not weak. She easily completed the dangerous maneuver of flying close to the ground. Before completely leaving the ground, she opened the bomb bay at the bottom of the fuselage and dropped several incendiary bombs...

Accompanied by bursts of sharp explosions, about a quarter of the runway surface was instantly covered by fierce white phosphorus fire!

In pursuit of extreme speed, the fighter jet's load capacity is limited, and the shrapnel it carries is only enough for a single attack.

However, according to their original design, this thing was not supposed to have a bomb bay. After all, the main mission of the first-generation fighter jets was to eliminate threats from the air, and the rest could be left to the airship.

It was obviously made to deliver another killer weapon...

At this moment in the valley, Vittorio, Orlando and a group of alchemists who were watching were extremely satisfied with the performance of this new aircraft after watching for a while.

Only Lin En looked at the runway on fire and dotted with craters, with a helpless look on his face.
