He took out the crystal bottle from his inventory, flicked the cork off with his thumb, and tilted his head back to drink.
When the potion took effect, Zhang Mu noticed that the magic power was slowly rising. He immediately mobilized his mental strength to establish a connection with the fallen spirit dormant on the seabed.
The magic power flowed into the fallen spirit's body through mental power, like adding oil to a machine that had been idle for a long time and whose gears were all rusty.
The process lasted for half an hour until Zhang Mu's magic power was exhausted and the fallen spirit's consciousness responded.
“Going west, no landing on land is allowed, ships can touch but try not to capsize.
Of course, if they take the initiative to attack, you are allowed to fight back and chase them down."
The fluctuations of thoughts were transmitted to his mind along with his mental power. Zhang Mu disconnected the connection and drank a potion to replenish his magic power to relieve the feeling of weakness caused by the low magic power.
At the same time, the sea surface also experienced unusual movements.
The sea water in a certain area was surging as if it was boiling, and there seemed to be an object running quickly on the seabed, breaking through the sea surface and creating waves that rolled to both sides.
"Let the Fallen Spirit toss around the Ying Nation for a few days. By then, fleets from all countries will probably be on the scene."
Looking at the front of the waves extending rapidly to the west, Zhang Mu nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went back to NH, opened a light gate above the sea, and stepped in.
Chapter 235: Kunpeng spreads its wings, the fallen spirit appears, quickly ascend to the sky
Today is an unusual day for residents of cities along the NH straight line to Sioux City.
People get up, wash, have breakfast, and then go to work normally.
They pass by pedestrians going home after night shifts at the subway doors, or occasionally look at each other across the asphalt road while driving at intersections waiting for traffic lights.
He looked tired, and sighed how comfortable it was for him to work the day shift like him. He was bleary-eyed, and envied him for not having to get out of bed early to go to work like him.
If they follow their past experience, when the red light turns green, they will lift their feet, release the brakes, cross each other, and move away from each other in opposite directions.
But today is different.
As the digital countdown reached zero, the bright red turned into fluorescent green. The cars and electric vehicles stationary at the intersection did not move like the video with the play button pressed. Instead, they all stared blankly into the sky.
The winter sun is not as annoying as the summer sun.
Therefore, when the scene in front of them suddenly became dark and the already biting chill brought by the cold wind became even more intense, they instinctively looked up, perhaps with anger rising in their hearts.
Who is it? They don't even allow me to get some sun?
Then they discovered that not only were they not allowed to bask in the sun, they were not even allowed to appreciate the sky.
The vast belly of the bird covers the entire blue sky, and its huge and sharp claws are like the hands of God, which can destroy the world if they fall.
On the back of the bird, the director sat cross-legged on the edge. The shadow of Kunpeng's figure cast by the sunlight gradually eroded and covered the entire city.
The immortal is so big, how much does he need to eat in a day?
The director looked down at the city which seemed to have lost all its lights, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.
"Kunpeng Immortal, what do you usually eat at the mountain gate?"
"howl--"
The chirping sounds in response woke up the people in the city, and camera flashes lit up everywhere, but unfortunately the director didn't understand.
It makes sense, he is not a bird and does not understand the language of birds, but he really wants to get the answer.
After pondering for a while, the director's eyes lit up: "Kunpeng Immortal, do you eat immortal things? If so, turn your head to the left, if not, turn your head to the right."
Kunpeng didn't move his head and just flapped his wings.
The director sighed in disappointment. As an immortal, it was understandable that he was a bit aloof.
Little did he know that when Zhang Mu returned to the "world", his mind had been tortured by him and was about to go insane.
……
"Is he ill?"
In Joffrey's laboratory, Zhang Mu, sitting in the corner, was deeply confused.
Although he didn't like socializing and would never make friends with others unless necessary, he still came into contact with quite a few people.
I've never seen so much nonsense!
"Lord City Lord?"
"It's okay, let's continue."
"Okay." Joffrey straightened his body and said, "I've tested the ore you brought me. As the main material for the magic sniper rifle, its magic resistance is still slightly insufficient.
But I found that adding a little magic crystal to it can greatly increase the magic resistance. "
"You mean it can be used?"
"Yes!" he asked excitedly, "Has this ore been named? What is the reserve volume?"
"rhenium."
After responding, Zhang Mu fell into deep thought.
After returning to the "world" from the deep sea, he rushed directly to the laboratory and gave Joffrey some rare metal rhenium that he had "borrowed" two days ago to test.
While waiting for the results, the two chatted about the magic sniper rifle.
Joffrey wanted to give up. He believed that in terms of individual combat power, the professionals from the Thor Continent were the best choice. Instead of spending energy researching the magic sniper rifle which had a high probability of being stranded, it would be better to train a group of professionals among the soldiers of the First Army.
However, Zhang Mu had the opposite opinion.
The reason why the magic sniper rifle cannot be used in actual combat is that the steel used as the material of the gun body cannot withstand the fluctuations of magic power when magic is released.
While magic crystals and the like can withstand it, their materials are too hard, and the process of dissolving them for secondary shaping is very difficult and cumbersome.
The magician Zhang Mu can do it easily, but we can’t tie up a few magicians to work on the assembly line, right?
The most important thing is, high-explosive thermal weapons are not limited to sniper rifles, but also include howitzers, artillery, rocket launchers, etc. Which one is not more powerful than them?
In the future, they will eventually be integrated into the magic system. If we can't even conquer the research and development of magic sniper rifles, there's no need to talk about it.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Mu suddenly had an idea.
Why do we have to consider the hardness of the material?
To prevent the gun body from being shattered by magic power, isn't it essentially about withstanding the impact of energy?
That's easy, isn't it just a matter of increasing magic resistance?
The magic resistance is high enough, even straw can remain safe and sound under the bombardment of magic.
Hearing this, Joffrey immediately turned around and ran to the inspection room, and asked his assistant to add a certain proportion of magic crystal powder to the rhenium ore.
Then it succeeded.
In addition, the gun body made of rhenium metal has excellent magic resistance and can be used as a physical shield to defend against magic in battle.
Win-win!
But when old problems are solved, new troubles arise.
The rhenium metal reserves on Blue Star are extremely scarce. The situation on Sol Continent is unclear and no geological surveys have been conducted.
But as Qiao Furui said, he has never seen the same or even similar elements.
Zhang Mu shook his legs in annoyance: "Even if I put my face aside and go... to borrow, I can't borrow much..."
Halfway through his words, he remembered what his unfortunate apprentice Luo Xiling had said.
"Master, can you go to heaven?"
“God…”
Touching his chin, Zhang Mu's eyes gradually lit up: "There is a way..."
At that time, he boasted that he could take everyone to travel in space, and he was able to do it.
Raise your magic level to that of a Holy Magician, practice the Knight's Law, and be promoted to a Paladin, then you can easily make your body float in the sky.
But he doesn't plan to do it anytime soon.
Not to mention that the magician is two levels away from the holy magician, he doesn't even have a clue where to find the knight mage.
"I need to advance quickly, and then go to heaven... I can't do it alone!"
Zhang Mu thought that going to other planets to collect rare metals would not be a problem for him to transport them, he could just put them into the inventory.
However, mining is troublesome.
Rhenium metal is not just lying around, you can just bend down and pick it up.
No matter how complicated the extraction process is, it must be supported by a complete industrial infrastructure, and the equipment needs manual operation.
"We have to find a way..."
Joffrey looked at Zhang Mu who had been talking to himself for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Lord City Lord, is it that the ore reserves are insufficient for mass production?"
"Don't worry."
The worry on his face faded away, and Zhang Mu smiled confidently: "Someone will help."
Didn’t the director go back to get people?
When the expert group from China comes, I will give them some guidance. Are you afraid that they will not be interested in Blue Planet’s neighbors?
Hmm...but we do have to consider the spaceship. You can't ask me to send them back and forth every time, right?
What's more, do we also use the inventory to transport people and so on?
Even if I'm not afraid of them discovering my secret, I'd be too busy to handle it even if I died of exhaustion.
Tsk, I wonder how China’s aerospace technology is developing. With my help, can they build an alien base in a short period of time?
I can only wait for someone to come...
Zhang Mu stood up suddenly. Joffrey was frightened and jumped up as well: "Lord City Lord, what happened?"
"It's okay." He took out a handful of gravel of different colors from his storage bag, "I have some rare metals here, take them."
When Joffrey carefully looked at the results, he said, "Recently, you should focus on studying these, and don't worry about the quantity."
"As you command, Lord City Lord."
He bowed and when he looked up, Zhang Mu Ren was gone.
