Exploring Technology in a Wizard World

Through the stability of the mechanical arm, it was possible to effectively avoid the effects of human heartbeat and slight muscle tremors. With the "Absolute Cutting of Spatial Scissors" and "Absolute Spatial Precision" features of the Space Iron Ring on top, the precision of the Magic Rune engraving was ensured, far surpassing the limits of human fingers.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

A soft sound arose. Under Richard's control, the Space Iron Ring gently swept across the surface of the bullet, creating delicate patterns that then bent, twisted, and continuously extended.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The sound kept resounding as Richard used the mechanical arm to draw line after line.

After being busy for several hours, the Magic Rune for the "Baruch Flame" Third Circle Magic was finally complete. Richard let out a long breath of relief, relaxed his body, and immediately sweat profusely seeped from underneath his skin, taking a good while to wipe dry.

After a short rest, Richard drank some light saltwater to replenish fluids and then walked to a corner of the lab.

There was a tall rack there, from which he pulled out an iron box, opened it, and took out a small block of Pure Silver Bar.

After taking it out, he placed the Pure Silver Bar into a crucible and heated it with Flames.

Silver's melting point is only 961.78 ℃, not even reaching 1000 ℃, so soon the silver turned into molten silver.

With a wave of his hand, Richard cast a Spell, controlling the molten silver to fly out of the crucible, carefully floating towards the bullet engraved with Magic Runes, and then evenly filling the engraved Magic Rune circuit.

This was a method Richard had learned from the "Vaisya Secrets," which involved filling the Magic Rune circuit with special Magic Conductive Metal to stabilize the Magic Rune circuit, significantly reducing the activation time and increasing the Magic Rune's power.

If some extraordinarily expensive alloy materials were used to fill the Magic Rune circuit, the improvement would be considerable. This is because Free Energy Elements are somewhat similar to light; their conduction speed varies in different mediums. In special alloy materials, the conduction speed would greatly surpass that in air and body, unleashing power beyond the original Spell.

However, these alloy materials were not easy to produce, and even with Richard's current abilities, it was somewhat challenging. For instance, an alloy material called Kro Secret Silver required more than twenty-eight substances, strictly proportioned and processed. Thus, Richard had to settle for Pure Silver, a relatively superior Magic Conductive Material, to fill the Magic Rune circuit.

After all, he was making bullets, creating Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles as a consumable item; there was no need to maximize performance. As long as the cost-effectiveness was maximized, that was sufficient. Small differences, he could completely compensate with quantity.

In his view, if one Miniature Magic Tracking Missile couldn't eliminate an enemy, no problem, just add ten more Miniature Magic Tracking Missiles.

Of course, the task now was to test the effect of the first complete Miniature Magic Tracking Missile.

Once the silver on the bullet had completely cooled and the Magic Rune circuit was filled, Richard took the bullet from the processing table, then took out the body of the Miniature Magic Tracking Missile, assembling them together.

With a crisp "click," a short, stout metal "arrow," over thirty centimeters long, appeared in Richard's hand. Compared to a real arrow, it looked somewhat strange, but that was just it—strange, without appearing terrifying at all.

However, Richard knew that if the complete Miniature Magic Tracking Missile test succeeded, it would definitely give those seeing the Miniature Magic Tracking Missile for the first time a huge surprise.

Thinking this, Richard strode out, heading toward the Magic Testing Field.

About two minutes later.

"Boom!"

From the Magic Testing Field, a huge explosion roared, and the entire ground seemed to tremble. Heat waves spread, like a stone thrown into a lake, violently rippling the air of Eden.

"Bang!"

Somewhere in Eden, in a room, a sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard.

Inside the room, the sleeping Pandora somehow rolled from the bed to the floor. Despite this, Pandora was unaffected, turned over, lay on the ground, and continued to sleep deeply.

Because he slept so deeply, slight snores emitted, rhythmically accompanying his breath, sounding like a cat snoring.

"Hu— Hu— Hu—"

...

A moment later.

With a "squeak," the door opened, and Richard walked in. He glanced at Pandora sleeping on the floor, shook his head, and carried her back to the bed.

After watching Pandora for a moment and making sure she wouldn't roll off again, he turned and left the room, heading toward the research lab in the Mechanical Processing Sector.

The previous test of the Miniature Magic Tracking Missile had been very successful, and its power was quite in line with his expectations. However, what he wanted to do now was not to immediately start mass production, but to research another spell from the "Vaisya Secrets."

...

Inside the research lab, Richard walked in, sat down at the desk, took out the "Vaisya Secrets" from the Space Iron Ring, flipped to the middle, and fixed his gaze on the page.

There, a very dangerous spell was recorded, called… Floating Shuttle Deceit Kill.

Floating, drifting in the air.

Shuttle, rapidly darting.

Deceit, with the most insidious methods.

Kill, to kill a person.

This is the Floating Shuttle Deceit Kill!

This spell was specifically designed for wizards who excel in close combat, enabling them in a very short time to burst with unimaginable speed, close the distance with their enemy, and deliver a fatal blow.

However... Richard was not learning this spell to close distances and engage in close combat.

Although he hated to admit it, he truly was not skilled at close combat. Apart from his One-Hit Kill Wand, most of his combat methods were more effective at a certain distance.

Thus, he was studying this spell for other purposes, such as... the high mobility it offered.

He had researched and found that if he could master this spell and make certain improvements, it would significantly enhance his mobility in the air. To him, this was more important than increasing the power of his spells.

To explain in detail, one would have to discuss the laws of physics.

The current world, much like Earth, mostly adheres to the same physical laws except for the supernatural abilities of wizards.

For example, the air is much less dense than water, which determines that vehicles flying in the air travel much faster than those navigating on water.

Moreover, air is relatively evenly distributed, whereas the land has variations in terrain and geology. Therefore, this determines that vehicles flying in the air are hundreds to thousands of times more convenient than those traveling on land, facing almost no restrictions.

Again, both the ground and water surfaces are mostly covered by air, so the places reachable by ground or water vehicles are mostly accessible to air vehicles as well.

To summarize, the current world and Earth share a principle: air supremacy can suppress both land and sea control.

But the people of the current world have not yet fully realized this point.
