Volume 8 Chapter 83 Breaking the atmosphere with a flesh body
Xu Yi looked up and could only see the giant shadow blocking the sky above him, even the sun was completely blocked off. He could only helplessly say, “Hey, Ca.s.sandra, can you change into human form first? My head will snap off sooner or later if I have to talk to you like this.”
“Oh……”
With a flash of light, the giant shadow instantly disappeared and a human girl’s figure appeared beside Xu Yi. It was Akali’s good friend and the first dragon to appear on the Sines Continent, the red dragon Ca.s.sandra.
“Is outer s.p.a.ce fun?” Xu Yi looked at Ca.s.sandra with a puzzled look, “Other than stars, there’s nothing else there. What is fun about that?”
“You know what outer s.p.a.ce is like?” Ca.s.sandra blinked before suddenly understanding, “Oh, your Frestech Chamber of Commerce has launched the satellite, so you do know what it’s like. But chairman Xu, outer s.p.a.ce isn’t that simple. Only when you experience flying in it will you know how interesting it is.”
“Just what is interesting about it?” Xu Yi was even more confused.
Although he didn’t have an opportunity to go into s.p.a.ce on earth, based on the various scenes that he had seen on the news and in doc.u.mentary films, he didn’t feel like s.p.a.ce was that meaningful.
“It lets me fly around without worrying about hitting anything, that’s already fun enough!” Ca.s.sandra directly said, “Moreover, flying in outer s.p.a.ce is more relaxing. There’s no need to worry about flapping my wings, so it’s much faster than being in the air and it’s very exciting!”
“Nonsense, there’s no air in outer s.p.a.ce, so it’s no use if you flap your wings.” Xu Yi rolled his eyes, “But speaking of this, even when you fly in the sky, don’t you flap your wings very little? I thought that your flying didn’t rely on flapping your wings to begin with.”
“That is correct, but is’ a habit. Moreover, flapping your wings lets you feel more relaxed when flying.”
“Then why don’t you flap your wings more? Can’t you fly even faster?”
“Because it’s tiring.” Ca.s.sandra waved her arms and mimicked the action of flapping her wings, “Look, this wastes so much energy. How can it be as relaxed as using elemental magic energy to fly?”
Xu Yi could only roll his eyes again.
The dragons really didn’t conform to biological knowledge.
They clearly had wings and should be a lifeform that relied on wings to fly, but because they grasped magic during their evolution, they evolved to no longer depend on wings. There was even a red dragon like Ca.s.sandra who said that flapping her wings was a bit tiring.
It was a good thing that dragons had long lifespans and there were only over ten generations of dragons. If it went on a bit longer, they might not even have wings anymore.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi gave up this question and started asking about the issue that he cared about the most.
“Ca.s.sandra, you said that it’s more relaxed flying in outer s.p.a.ce. Putting aside the issue of no air resistance, are there any other reasons? Is it related to the magic s.p.a.ce in outer s.p.a.ce?”
“Yes.” Ca.s.sandra gave a firm nod, “The magic s.p.a.ce in outer s.p.a.ce is more stable than below the atmosphere and on the ground. I flew around for several hours and flew over a thousand kilometers, but there weren’t any changes in magic s.p.a.ce at all.”
“Un, it is indeed much more stable.”
Although magic s.p.a.ce was a different s.p.a.ce that was filled with elemental magic energy, it couldn’t be separated from real s.p.a.ce.
In regions with an unusual atmosphere, the magic s.p.a.ce would be influenced to varying degrees that would create instability.
The most clear examples were near volcanoes. Because of the influence of volcanoes, the elemental magic energy in that s.p.a.ce favoured Fire Attributed Elemental Magic Energy, which created instability.
The magicians of the Sines Continent used to say that Fire Attributed Elemental Magic Energy around volcanoes were stable, so it was very dangerous.
Although it was similar, the traditional view of magic was very lacking when it came to explaining the reasoning behind this.
Because of this, all magic s.p.a.ce on the planet would have varying degrees of instability and would create zones like this. They were called unstable magic s.p.a.ces by the magicians.
The more serious ones would be listed as forbidden areas by the Magicians Guild which they would warn magicians against approaching.
Of course, no one in this world used to think what it was like above the sky. Naturally they wouldn’t think about what magic s.p.a.ce was like in outer s.p.a.ce.
After the Frestech Chamber of Commerce launched the satellite, because of the Magic Illusion Videos of outer s.p.a.ce sent back by the satellite, it proved that Xu Yi’s theory of them standing on a planet was true. At the same time, it also proved Xu Yi’s outer guess that outer s.p.a.ce was filled with elemental magic energy and had magic s.p.a.ce. It wasn’t like traditional magicians had thought that it was a forbidden area for life above the sky and a forbidden area for magic.
After learning this, the first ones to react weren’t the humans, but rather the dragons.
Ca.s.sandra was Akali’s good friend and could be considered among the first that learned of the news about the satellite.
After learning about the satellite and the news from outer s.p.a.ce, she immediately had the bold idea to fly into outer s.p.a.ce!
At first whether it was Akali or Xu Yi, they both strongly opposed this crazy idea.
Because even if there were elemental magic energy in outer s.p.a.ce that could allow the Magic Illusion Camera to send images back, without enough data supporting it, it was unknown what the magic s.p.a.ce in outer s.p.a.ce was like.
If the magic s.p.a.ce in outer s.p.a.ce was different from the magic s.p.a.ce on the ground, it could be very dangerous. Ca.s.sandra flying into outer s.p.a.ce was no different from seeking her own death.
Even without talking about the influence of the magic s.p.a.ce, just flying up into outer s.p.a.ce without anything protecting her body was looking to die.
However, Ca.s.sandra was really interested and she was very confident in her body as a dragon, so she insisted.
Xu Yi couldn’t convince her, so he had no choice but to move his plans forward.
During this time, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce launched two more satellites.
Compared to the first satellite, these two satellites carried much more equipment.
Not only were there three high definition Magic Illusion Cameras, there was also a custom made magic s.p.a.ce probe that would keep sending out magic fluctuations, testing the magic s.p.a.ce in outer s.p.a.ce.
Other than this, there was a biological dummy made by the elves that would test the environment in s.p.a.ce.
With these precise instruments, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce obtained much more detailed data about the various aspects of outer s.p.a.ce.
Based on this data, they found that the magic s.p.a.ce in outer s.p.a.ce was much more stable and in terms of magic, it was a place more suitable for magicians than on the ground.
At the same time, outer s.p.a.ce above this star was similar to outer s.p.a.ce around earth. Although humans couldn’t survive there without any protection, for the dragons that had bodies that were countless times stronger than humans, it wasn’t as if there wasn’t a chance of them being able to survive.
After obtaining this information, before Xu Yi and Akali could even react, Ca.s.sandra flew right into the sky.
At first, she couldn’t directly break the atmosphere and enter outer s.p.a.ce.
But once she grasped the right method, she easily broke through the atmosphere with her flesh body and entered outer s.p.a.ce.
Xu Yi still remembered watching Ca.s.sandra return safely after playing around in outer s.p.a.ce.
Although the others were also shocked like Xu Yi, they weren’t as shocked as him.
After all, Xu Yi’s understanding of outer s.p.a.ce surpa.s.sed everyone else.
It was also because of this that he was more alert towards outer s.p.a.ce, being extremely cautious.
The others were locals of this world and didn’t have much understanding of outer s.p.a.ce. So although they felt that Ca.s.sandra was very strong for flying into outer s.p.a.ce, they weren’t that shocked.
Because for all the humans and other races, the dragon’s bodies were much stronger than their own and it shouldn’t be a problem for them to fly into outer s.p.a.ce.
The dragons never did this before because they were wary about the place above the sky.
Now that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had proven that there was magic s.p.a.ce above the sky, this meant that there was a possibility for the dragons.
This fellow Ca.s.sandra who didn’t fear death had broken the window and allowed the fantasy of dragons flying in outer s.p.a.ce become a reality.
“Hei, chairman Xu, I can’t wait to tell my clansmen the news.” Ca.s.sandra happily brandished her arm as she said to Xu Yi in an excited voice, “If the clansmen knows that we can fly in outer s.p.a.ce and it’s more refreshing to fly there compared to in the sky, they will definitely be happy!”
Xu Yi revealed a helpless and bitter smile.
The dragons had long lifespans, so most of their lives, they would be bored.
So when they discovered the novel Magic Illusion Films that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce brought, they were infatuated with it because it gave them many new novel experiences.
Now that Ca.s.sandra had found something that was even more novel and exciting, her clansmen would definitely go crazy.
Thinking of how it might be possible seeing a bunch of dragons flying in outer s.p.a.ce, Xu Yi felt very strange.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi’s expression changed and he focused on Ca.s.sandra.
“Hey, Ca.s.sandra, be honest, don’t you find those satellites troublesome?”
