Without the barrier of the air, the magician's spiritual power spread more comfortably and attenuated less, so the range of the mental force field was wider, dozens of times that of the ground, but in such a wide range, Lucian and the others could only sense the laws of an artificial planet but it was running alone, and the whole environment was desolate and lonely, which was the most intuitive feeling given by the real universe outside the atmosphere.
In such an orbit, Lucian, Douglas, Fernando, and Helen floating around the artificial planet are so small, but full of an atmosphere that cannot be ignored, as if they are small suns, the secret realm of nature, the hell of thunder, the universe within the atom, and the illusion created by ice and snow.
After the legendary magician's spiritual force field is fully deployed, the semi-solidified cognitive world will interfere with reality along with the half-plane!
In such a silent and sad environment, Lucian smiled and answered Helen's question: "Because I prefer the church to imitate us, catch up with us, and compete with us in the areas we are good at, rather than focusing on so-called theological research.
Helen nodded thoughtfully: "So, you show the important role of artificial planets in order to distract the church from its own strengths and compete with us in areas that they are not good at at all and that we know very well?"
"Yes, although they may not be able to study the mystery of Paradise Mountain, it is best to put an end to accidents before we have an overwhelming advantage." Lucian nodded slightly.
"Aren't you worried that the situation will deteriorate rapidly after the church holds the secret of the artificial planet? It can play an extremely important role, it is what you often call a strategic weapon, turning ordinary air supremacy into planetary orbital control." Douglas asked with a kind smile.
The term "air supremacy" is not difficult for the Magic Council to understand, and "city in the sky" itself is a product of air supremacy, but it is not summarized into a concept.
Lucian said calmly: "The role of artificial planets is indeed great, but the parts we have developed and can use are still very few of them.
"For the church, due to the extensive arrangement of video transmission arrays, the control area across the Storm Strait, the middle-level clergy level can basically achieve an effect similar to the use of artificial planets, and the places occupied by us and the Northern Church could have been possible, but now they can't. For them, the less the ordinary people know, the better."
"What they value is the potential value of artificial planets, which can be used at most to restore them to the state before the Battle of Rentat, which is not a particularly bad change for us, and we, who have a thorough understanding of the principles and details of artificial planets, can't we restrict the church's artificial planet, 'invade' it, and steal communication secrets? This is a field we are familiar with and good at!"
Speaking of this, Lucian suddenly thought of a sentence and smiled: "To sum it up in simple words, pull the enemy into the field we are familiar with, and then use our rich experience and in-depth research to defeat them."
"Divine magic is to borrow the power of 'Thanos', which is more convenient than us in orbit, if they imitate an artificial planet, they will have better attack and defense than us, are you not afraid of being overtaken by them?" Fernando next to him had a face from Lucian's "teasing of his runaway reactor".
Lucian laughed and said, "If the church is another council, with its own arcane system, arcane points, arcane points and other things that encourage research, the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years of arcane and magical knowledge, in-depth research in many fields such as macro and micro, and an extremely strong atmosphere of exploration and research, then I would not make this suggestion."
Of course, this is not absolute, in the case of similar arcane foundations, you can also use this "Star Wars" method to transform the confrontation into an overall economic duel.
"As for now, with the above 'foundation', I am not worried at all that the church can catch up with us in the field of artificial planets, which is impossible in ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years." Lucian added, "Unless the church begins to establish its own arcane system, but in this way, it is no longer completely dependent on faith, and those who are also studying the arcane will have no irreconcilable contradictions with us and can be completely integrated."
"Their artificial planets may have relatively strong attack power, but they will not be able to play the role of orbital bombing until they can really play the role of 'Paradise Mountain', and our nuclear fission reactors may not be able to succeed in a year or two, and they will not be inferior to them after miniaturization."
"You said that the church can only wait for death, and our future is bright." Douglas laughed.
Lucian chuckled: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. For example, all the papers on arcane research are publicly published, and the church and countries can see them as long as they have the heart, while in terms of magic, there are only principles and ideas, and the specific structure must have the corresponding authority to consult and exchange, so that they seem to be able to understand the arcane, hoping to catch up, but they will never be able to catch up."
"I didn't think so much at the beginning, it was purely a system formulated with ideas that they couldn't understand at all." Douglas laughed at himself very honestly, "In my opinion, without your own research and exploration, without long-term accumulation, it is useless to read papers directly, so most clergy and powerful people from various countries cannot gain anything from our public arcane papers, but I didn't expect the Pope to be Viken, and he still maintains a strong learning attitude."
Helen, who was listening, suddenly said: "Evans, you have spent a huge amount of money to deploy 'runaway reactors' on every artificial planet so that the church cannot easily obtain them?"
"Yes, the easier it is to obtain, the less likely they will be to cherish it, and they will doubt our true purpose, so they must go through difficulties and obstacles and pay a great price, so that they are willing to spend more energy to imitate and transform." Lucian shook his head, looking like he hated iron but steel, "Who knew they didn't have any fighting spirit, I originally hoped they would exchange the life of a Holy Spirit priest for the secret of an artificial planet."
Douglas also sighed: "Then we have to find a way to give the church another 'chance'......."
He also seemed to agree with Lucian's idea.
"How can we guarantee that the church will be willing to take the risk of obtaining an artificial planet and will definitely focus on imitating and transforming it?" Fernando said cautiously.
"If they don't capture the artificial planet and study its secrets, then they will watch as we gradually play the full role of the artificial planet, control the orbit, control the planet, and then be eliminated by the times, but this time will be relatively long, it will be full of changes, and if they compete with us in this field, things will enter the orbit we are familiar with." Lucian replied with a serious expression.
Douglas smiled again and said: "Indeed, the future is bright, no matter how the church chooses, failure cannot be avoided, this is the choice of the times, but ......"
He sighed suddenly, and Lucian did the same, exhaling a breath of gas that did not exist in the airless universe, and sighed almost at the same time:
"God-like."
Yes, without the god-like existence that has mastered the mystery of immortality, why should the council go around calculating the church, and have already made every effort to develop and strive to destroy the church in a short period of time!
"So the road is tortuous, maybe at some point, the council will be destroyed by several gods, maybe before seeing victory, some of us will fall forever at the hands of the gods." Lucian said solemnly but not fearfully.
Douglas looked at the vast starry sky and said, "Although it is important to impact the gods, no matter what, the development of the council must be based on the study of arcane and the application of magic, because our god-like path must and can only be built on them."
Fernando and Helen nodded at the same time, agreeing with Douglas's point of view.
"Okay, what are our plans?" Douglas looked at Lucian and asked for his opinion.
Lucian thought for a while and said, "Maybe we can take advantage of this plan to fish out the hidden dangers within the council. Before the Southern Church withdrew from the Four Straits and the Northern Coastal Corridor, the Council had many church spies, and then the situation improved and basically eliminated this situation, but as Viken secretly announced the god-like mystery, I suspect that there were people in the council and the church tacitly."
Some idioms were "invented" by Lucian in the "Voice of the Mystery", and Fernando and others will not have difficulty understanding, in addition, Helen and Brooke have joined the god-like path and immortal secret research of Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway and Lucian.
"Very good." Fernando gritted his teeth at this kind of spy, wishing he could baptize them with a storm.
