"Impossible——!!!!"

In the wizard tower of the Red Blood Castle, Isaac, with a righteous face, shouted to the red-eared little wizard with a resolute tone:

"Do you understand? I repeat it if I don't, no!

"You haven't tried it, how can you know it's impossible?" The excited Ai Yin blushed, and the whole person couldn't wait to pounce on him directly: "Give yourself a chance to prove you wrong!"

"I don't need to prove that I know I'm right, because it's, and I'm at least in the top three of all the I can imagine in my life!"

As if words couldn't describe his feelings, Isaac waved his hand violently, quite pointingly.

"I... Uh, what are the first and second ones?"

"First, one day I may have a son who is smarter than I am - that's a false proposition, because no one in this world is smarter than me!" Isaac rolled his eyes:

"Second, you, Ain Rand, are actually a witch, but it's hidden so well that I haven't found out for so many years!"

Looking at his self-righteous expression, the little wizard who wanted to roll his eyes more than he suddenly felt that maybe there was hope for the first one.

At the thought that there might be an "Isaac 2.0" in the future that would be even more eccentric, complacent, and eccentric than Isaac, Ain couldn't help but shudder first......

"What's more, whether it can be successful or not, let's talk about the meaning of your design first. Isaac hugged his shoulders and took out an attitude that was ready to talk about it and "convince people with virtue":

"As your senior, I have great respect for your work attitude and standard - truly, among all the pathetic, intellectually inferior alchemists, thanks to the teachings of your mentor and my nurturing, you should be the one with more hope of being saved. ”

"That's a compliment," the little wizard yelled hysterically, desperately resisting the urge to throw the quill as a dart.

"You're welcome, it's right for students to encourage each other. Isaac bowed his head solemnly and raised his hand to signal Ain not to interrupt him:

"To put it bluntly, if you're designing a brand new power unit, I'll probably compliment you on your idea, if it's a novel flying device, I'll probably encourage you to innovate. ”

"But excuse me... What do you mean by putting these three things together? What is the use of a floating city that can fly—to solve the land contradiction where there are many people and little land, good idea, but how are you going to let the people who go up come down, climb the rope ladder or come to a free fall every day?"

The undisguised sarcasm made the ends of the angry little wizard's hair curle.

"Not all new technologies and achievements in this world have practical application value. Ain opened his mouth to "remind" that "many new technologies only provide a new way of thinking, so as to save the foundation for practical application in the future. ”

Isaac directly rolled his eyes again:

"Then please remind me again, what kind of experience can this inexplicable 'Floating City' accumulate for us?"

"I'm ......," Ain, who blushed, suddenly stopped.

"A completely new power plant, a novel flight device, a completely innovative architectural design ......"

Lena de Salion, who had always been silent beside her, lifted the frame of her glasses and said lightly: "And... The method of combining these three technologies. ”

The two looked at each other with different expressions, and at the same time turned their gaze to the girl with black-rimmed glasses.

"It makes sense, I have nothing to object to. Turning his face sideways, as if he had been wronged, Isaac glanced at Lena de Salion:

"But you are my girl, you can only stand in the camp of one man in your life, and that is me!"

Flattening her mouth, Aine sighed helplessly.

With twelve wizard towers as the twelve transmission nodes, the inner fortress auditorium of the academy in the center as the center, and the transmission route paved with bronze plates and marble bricks for burning runes... Eventually, the Void energy will be gathered to form a force that is enough to "support" the entire academy into the sky.

This is the design core of the whole theory... A design that is enough to make all the wizards of the empire want to break their heads and be shocked.

To most wizards, this is unbelievable, but Isaac understands... He'd been to Dragonlord City and entered Dragonlord's Tower, and he knew that it was definitely feasible, because Nidhogg itself was a "floating city".

But it was precisely because he had been there that he knew that it would require more than a dozen techniques involving the four major departments of mystery, alchemy, spells, and ancient runes at the same time, and most importantly... It doesn't make any real sense.

Or, rather, it didn't have any practical application value in the early days, but was the product of a combination of several technologies at the peak of their development - now the little wizard wants to "put the cart before the horse" and develop it to roll out a dozen technologies that don't even exist at the moment.

"I don't know how you came up with this, but let me tell you a basic fact, Ain. Isaac taught him a serious lesson:

"All the knowledge and technology in this world have development ladders, and we can slightly cross a few echelons in the early stage and launch technology through the results, but the later we go, the more difficult it becomes so that it is impossible at all. ”

Seeing that this megalomaniac finally stopped desperately sarcastically sarcastic and explained, the attitude of the little wizard was also slightly relaxed.

"So you think we can't do it with the technology we have, do you?"

"To be precise, the current level benchmark of this generation is still two grades away from the development of the Floating City, and four grades away from the dragon kingdom that was calved a long time ago. Isaac nodded:

"If we really want to make a floating city with practical significance, we need to complete at least a few steps of system standardization, new energy and power plant research and development... This process alone will take at least fifty to eighty years, and it will have to be ensured that the existing wizarding system is developing abnormally rapidly, and it must be in a straight line rather than a spiral. ”

"The premise is... They don't know about a man named Isaac Grantham. ”

Lena de Salion, who was on the side, spoke again, tilting her head slightly to look at the megalomaniac.

"Huh?" Isaac didn't react.

"Haven't you always said, 'I don't want to stick to the rules, repeat the gourd and paint the scoop, and write what others have written?'" The girl in black-rimmed glasses flashed in her eyes, and her eyes exuded a strange luster:

"If everything develops gradually, you have to follow the path that your mentor has drawn for you, and become an old man like them little by little, so that the times can keep up with you little by little, but if you don't want to do that......"

The corners of her mouth were elegantly hooked, and her green fingertips swept across the drawing:

"This... It's something no one has ever done, and there's no guarantee that there will be no one to come, but it's definitely unprecedented—as you said, even the legendary wizards of the Dragon Kingdom have never been able to develop a floating city before their skills are up to the mark!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire laboratory fell silent.

Isaac, whose expression froze, turned his face sideways, pouted and looked at the piles of drawings on the table with his eyes, and suddenly lost his voice.

For a full minute, he didn't say a word.

"Lena, hearing you say that, I found this little thing... Looks pretty cute. With his head down, Isaac muttered to himself, "Why don't we raise our hands to vote, and those who agree please don't raise their hands." ”

"I ......"

"Okay! It's decided, all passed!" Before Ain finished speaking, Isaac spoke first, spreading his arms as if flying high: "We're going to do something that has never been done before - let what doesn't exist on this drawing fly!"

The little wizard looked at Lena de Salion with a look of surprise, and the girl with black-rimmed glasses slyly hooked the corners of her mouth, and smiled elegantly:

"He's my man, and of course I know how to convince him... It's like convincing my cat to take a bath. ”

"......" Ain Rand.

"Okay, okay, I'll talk about it until dinner, it's working time. Seeing the little wizard and Lena talking like this, Isaac frowned imperceptibly, "We have a lot of work to do!"

The two of them, with different expressions, turned their heads back to the drawings on the table.

"Before we begin, we have to stress that we have to face up to the technical shortcomings at hand and not set our goals too high. Isaac continued: "So... The only goal for now is to get the 'city' flying, everything else is secondary. ”

"It's up to you to say ......," muttered the little wizard.

"First of all, the most critical core design - a stupid approach, but I have to admit that under the existing conditions, this is the one that is most likely to succeed, but only if the layout of the entire floating city is changed and the area is reduced by at least three-quarters. ”

"Why?!" Ai Yin's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous, "I've done calculations, twelve conduction nodes are enough to support the entire Floating City, and isn't there only one hall left if it's reduced by three-quarters?"

"As I said, our first goal is to get it flying, everything else is secondary!"

Isaac's eyes widened, and he took out an inch-baring posture: "By reducing the area, we can greatly reduce the loss in the transmission process!"

"If that's the case, what's the point, it's still just a flying machine in the end, what kind of floating city is it?!"

"First of all, it has obvious architectural features, and second, even if it's just a flying machine, it's better than having to fall into free fall in the sky, right?" Isaac's eyes widened with an unquestioning tone, "Actually, even twelve transmission routes are still a lot more, and according to my design, only nine routes are enough to make it take off!"

"Also, what do you mean by just a flying machine, it's super amazing to be able to get it into the air, okay, who else but this genius can do it?"

The depressed little wizard lay on the table like a child who had been robbed of a toy - though she knew that without the help of this megalomaniac, her floating city would remain on paper forever.

But really... It's so angry!

"Well, there is no problem with the overall structure, there is no problem with the path setting, and the nodes needed for transmission can be matched with bronze runes cast by Mithril, which can greatly reduce the process consumption... The problem that must be solved is the problem of loss, most of the consumption is not a problem, the problem is that there will be a delay in transmission. ”

Isaac, who was talking to himself, had completely left the other two people next to him, and began to calculate like crazy on the blackboard next to him:

"The existing rune mode is too inefficient, so we can only redesign one, or can we directly use the path rune of the Dragon King's Tower? No, no, we don't have such good metallurgical technology, even the Mithril impurities are too much, and we can't use their tall gadgets......"

"There has to be something completely different, something completely blurring the line between the material world and the void world... No, that would be a complete drain, or rather... That's right, I can use the same method that Freswalker did when he repaired the Illusion Corridor sixty years ago, and reduce the level of Void Transformation to less than seven percent!"

Seeing him muttering alone, the little wizard who tried to interject several times was completely ignored, and irritable messed up his hair, and sat with his back to him angrily.

Lena de Salion on the side smiled slightly, took a pot of mint tea, and poured a cup for herself and Ain.

"Sorry, that's what he is. Ai Yin lowered his voice: "As long as you are happy, you don't care about anything." ”

"It doesn't matter, when I was at the Imperial Capital Wizard Academy, I knew what kind of guy he was. The girl with black-rimmed glasses waved her hand very understandingly, and the smile between her eyebrows did not diminish at all:

"It's annoying at times, but... It's still cute. ”

Isaac is cute?

The strange little wizard's eyes widened, and the smile on Lena's face seemed to have something more flavorful.

That is, the taste of happiness......

Lena, smiling, was still watching Isaac's busy back, and Ain, who was silent, picked up the teacup and lowered her head silently.

"That's... What are we going to eat tonight? I'm hungry, I'm dying of hunger!"

A certain elated megalomaniac suddenly turned around and turned his back to a blackboard formula: "Or... Ain, can you do something about it? I've got a good appetite today, it's great!"

He glanced at Lena, and the little wizard with a hint of curvature at the corner of his mouth also showed a bit of cunning: "Really, you can do whatever you want?"

"That's right, that's what I said, as long as you can show the energy to cook for Loren's junior, uh... What are you going to do with that expression?"

"Boot soup!"

The little wizard said categorically.
