Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Cosmic Technology Quality Assurance

Two days later, at the same location.

”Well, I hope this time it really works on the first try.”

Fang Zheng stood on the deck, looking at the sky, while others gathered around him. Not far away, several warships had arrived, even a unicorn carrier had come to join in the excitement.

However, the most eye-catching sight was a line of flying dragons perched on the carrier deck, along with a group of giggling little girls.

By the way, this ”mining operation” was being broadcast live by Heavenly Dao Palace.

At first, Fang Zheng thought it was a bit much, since in his own world, whenever he saw similar programs on the news, his first reaction was to change the channel. Putting himself in their shoes, he felt that this kind of ”Heavenly Dao Palace’s highest administrative chief personally inspects the mining site” news wouldn’t have much market in Heavenly Dao Palace either.

But Nymph told Fang Zheng she thought otherwise. In fact, during the time Fang Zheng was gone, the Cursed Children had somewhat sensed that something was off with the atmosphere in Heavenly Dao Palace. Children might be naive and innocent but they are definitely not stupid; in many respects, they are even more sensitive than adults. In fact, when Nymph and the others had initially sent the Cursed Children back to Black World, various wild rumors had spread amongst the kids, such as Fang Zheng abandoning them... These rumors had frightened the children terribly, and it had taken prompt intervention from Natsuse and others to stabilize the residents’ morale.

Although in the end Fang Zheng had returned safely, there was no guarantee that such incidents wouldn’t happen again, therefore it was important for the residents of Heavenly Dao Palace to know that their rulers were safe and with them...

It seemed these ins and outs were quite useful after all.

”Brother Zheng, when do we start? Do we start now?”

Nobiru was hopping around beside Fang Zheng, looking eager. She was also the host of this ”live broadcast.” Of course, it was supposed to be Natsuse’s responsibility, but Nobiru had somehow heard about it and had come over crying and yelling to be the host... even though a host and a broadcaster weren’t quite the same thing.

”Wait, let me check one more time...”

”You’ve already checked three times, big brother.”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s reply, Little Hei rolled his eyes in resignation.

”And to think you’re a mage!”

”That’s how mages are in this world; those who don’t think to throw a fireball when faced with trouble are the fools, okay?”

Fang Zheng also glared back at Little Hei. In fact, to ensure everything went smoothly, he had made all necessary preparations. This included using Prophecy Spells to scout ahead, and then working with Nymph to calculate from a scientific perspective the formula and data on the planet’s mass and rotation, ensuring that mining this area would not affect the planet too severely. Of course, to prevent those weird creatures from acting desperately, he had also specially deployed personnel to patrol the area...

So-called diligent preparation determines one’s fate, and as a Mage capable of finding the future within prophecies, no one knew better than Fang Zheng just how many factors could compose an ”accident.”

”Okay, everything’s ready; it’s all down to luck now,”

Fang Zheng once again scrutinized the plan in front of him, and after confirming it was correct, he looked towards Yoshino and Kurumi standing beside him.

”So, just as we discussed, Yoshino, once I give the command, go ahead and freeze that thing completely. Kurumi, if that thing starts acting up during the ascent, hit it with a Seventh Bullet immediately; don’t worry about the consumption.”

”I understand, Mr. Fang Zheng,”

”Understood.”

”Good.”

After ensuring all his precautions were in place, Fang Zheng took a deep breath and then signaled with his hand.

”Let’s start.”

”—————!!”

As Fang Zheng’s words fell, the next moment he saw several green light beams descend from the sky, shooting straight into the sea not far in front of him. The beams then effortlessly penetrated the crust and, with a swish, turned at that moment. Next, Fang Zheng heard the weak report from Stone Village.

”...Target area locked, shall we start the fracturing?”

”...”

This cosmic technology is simple and brutal.

”Begin.”

No sooner had Fang Zheng spoken, the sea water in front of him began to swirl as if boiling, bubbling and even throwing up waves tens of meters high... Fortunately, Fang Zheng and the others were high in the sky, so these waves were of no consequence.

However, Fang Zheng’s focus was not on these effects; instead, he stared intently at the key area marked on the screen. To be safe, Fang Zheng did not just isolate the Spirit Crystal Vein; he had chosen a buffer zone around the periphery. That way, if those strange creatures made any moves, they would at least have some time.

Fortunately, although the Stone Village’s fracturing was loud and scared the nearby marine life into a frenzy, Fang Zheng didn’t detect any changes regarding those eerie creatures, nor did any signs of their life appear on the screen. It seemed that unless something touched the Crystal Vein, they wouldn’t move at all.

But Fang Zheng knew this was only temporary...

”Roar roar roar!!!”

Soon, the green glow from the Gravity Cables became more dazzling, and then a bizarre scene unfolded—the sea water above the vein was directly ”pushed” upwards, then splashed aside. From high above, it looked as if someone had scooped a bowl of water from the ocean.

Following that, under everyone’s gaze, a large semicircular piece of land emerged from the sea.

”Honestly, this thing looks pretty unstable.”

At that moment, Nobiru, who was responsible for ”broadcasting,” also spoke up to ridicule, and Fang Zheng nodded in agreement. As Nobiru had said, it indeed looked very unstable.

An area of land as big as three football fields was ”uprooted,” and below it, there was nothing to bind or secure it, not even a net. The only connection was six straight green light beams descending from the sky, passing through the edges of this landmass... Truthfully, Fang Zheng was somewhat worried that this thing might just slide off accidentally.

Not only that, because artificial gravity was used to counteract the planetary gravity, around the periphery of this piece of land, Fang Zheng even saw a patch of sea water swaying unsteadily with the land—making it look as though someone had placed a bowl of water in a transparent bracelet, then dropped a large clump of dirt into it.

Only, this clump of dirt was a bit too big...

Of course, the reason this land could float was not because it was pulled up, but because Stone Village utilized Gravity Cables to create artificial gravity, counteracting the planet’s natural gravity. So, this piece of land wasn’t ”pulled” up; it ”floated” up... From this perspective, as long as the gravity issue is resolved, neither volume nor weight is a problem anymore.

But the sight was still nerve-wracking no matter how one looked at it.

”Yoshino, it’s your turn now, Kurumi, make sure you protect the little guy.”

”Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng!!”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s words, Yoshino nodded nervously, then she immediately summoned her Ice Construct, and rode on the giant white rabbit into the sky, coming close to that piece of land. Kurumi also summoned Chronos, following closely behind Yoshino.

Then, they saw the giant white rabbit open its mouth, and a burst of white radiance shot out, striking straight towards the floating land.

”—————!!”

The cold beam struck the land, and immediately, the land and the attracted sea water rapidly froze together. In the blink of an eye, the original ”mutton stew” turned into frozen clumps as if they had been in a freezer overnight... From the looks of it, they seemed unlikely to thaw anytime soon.

”Phew...”

Only after the giant ice clumps had completely frozen, and those strange creatures showed no signs of change, did Fang Zheng finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Next, they just needed to take them up into space, where they could be studied at leisure. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
