Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 51 Space Age
"Are you really going to do this?"

"Of course! It's all for science!"

"Really? Then take off your magic robe first?"

"That's totally unnecessary."

Inside the experimental site, two young men were joking with each other.

They are students of the Science and Technology Bureau, and are also the first top scientists to begin researching nuclear-powered magic engines and aerospace-grade materials!

One is called Osborne and the other is called Peter.

As children born fifty years after the Cataclysm, they have advantages that the previous three generations did not have.

The power of blood will weaken and become weak in the next generation, but the strengthening of genes will be passed on to future generations through blood!

Their bloodline power is weaker than that of the previous generation, but the enhanced genes give them super high IQs, making them another version of superhumans.

These children are very smart since childhood, they receive the latest ideas and learn the most advanced knowledge.

When they grow up, they will be top talents who can shine in their professional fields!
What they are discussing now is the practical part of actually putting the spacecraft into use.

Osborn, who was in charge of the development of the spacecraft, wanted to try flying directly into the universe.

Although they can easily reach outer space through magic, this is the first aerospace-grade spacecraft made using magic technology!

Osborne wanted to be the "first" not for fame, but to experience it for himself.

Peter, who was in charge of the engine development, thought that safety should be the top priority and wanted to carry animals on it to try it out first.

The two disagreed, but did not quarrel.

Not only because the two are best friends, but also because it does not involve life and death.

Although the magic nuclear-powered engine is of nuclear explosion level, it cannot kill them at all. Coupled with the magic robes, there is no need to worry about accidents.

But the problem is not the accidents, but the attitude towards science.

Osborne was a romantic who felt that this epoch-making moment should be accomplished by humans.

But Peter thinks that science requires rationality, rigor and thoroughness, and that it needs to be fully prepared before it can be used on humans.

In fact, the dispute between the two has been resolved.

Anyway, even if something goes wrong, you won't die, so just go up, the data will still be collected~
"What are you talking about? Everyone is waiting for your results and the launch of the spacecraft."

"Dean Allen."

"Dean Allen..."

Allen looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Why, are you discussing whether to send someone up again?"

"Yes."

"Actually, both are fine. Science requires rigor. If it is people-oriented, then we cannot use humans for experiments. But romance is something that is rare in rational science. Maybe sometimes I should encourage the romance in human nature."

Allen said as he handed the two a document and a special alchemical tool.

Both of them were surprised when they saw this alchemical tool.

"This is!"

"Is it alchemical armor?"

"It was made by His Majesty in his spare time. It has a space transfer magic and a time stagnation magic."

"Time freezes? What kind of magic is this?"

The two are also geniuses in cultivation, and are proficient in not only technology but also magic.

The two of them had read many books, even the vast Imperial Library, which they had read through from top to bottom.

But after recalling a lot, they couldn't think of even one word or phrase about "time".

In other words, this is an unpublished type of magic!

When the two thought of this, they subconsciously looked at each other and saw the heat in each other's eyes.

This is a whole new magic series! It represents the unknown, mystery, and a whole new magic and technology route!

"When His Majesty came back more than ten years ago, he gave us both time magic and space magic. However, because time magic is too dangerous, we sealed it up. This is the tool His Majesty made for us to use. Although it is simple, it is very useful."

Alan gave the props to the two men, then picked up his coat and went out.

"By the way, get ready for the press conference. We, the old guys, are waiting for you young people to start a new era."

Alan smiled and left.

After looking at each other, the two could no longer contain their excitement.

"yeah!!"

"Did you hear that? His Majesty also supports us!"

"I know, so this time, my good brother, I will go up with you!"

"it is good!"

The two laughed loudly, then went together arm in arm to prepare for the press conference.

……

The press conference was held successfully.

After the press conference, the two put on specially made space suits and walked into the Shadow Empire’s first magic-tech spaceship.

When the spacecraft ignited and took off, flying into the universe, people picked up their mobile phones to take pictures or record videos to make films.

This is a historic moment, representing their move from the information age to a completely new era!

Everything that happens after the spacecraft is launched is broadcast in real time and can be seen from the five major planets.

"Success!"

"I didn't expect that we could send people up there without even having to!"

"Will we all be able to travel to other planets in the future?"

"It should be! It consumes much less energy than a portal! But it should be more expensive in the beginning."

"That's nothing! This allows you to escape from the portal and fly freely in the universe! It's much easier than practicing fifth-level magic!"

The people in the Black Shadow Empire were in an uproar.

Just as these people said, no matter how expensive spaceships are now, once the technology matures, it will definitely be easier than using portals and magic for interstellar travel!

Although everyone is half-immortal and has extraordinary bloodline, the difference in talent means that some people are destined to be unable to learn fifth-level magic!
However, spacecraft can allow people with less talents to travel between stars and see other planets!

Amid the excitement of the people, the research and development of aerospace technology began to be put on the agenda.

In the blink of an eye, another thirty years passed.

When a huge dock was built outside the Blue Star and the first space battleship was completed, it also heralded a new era for the Shadow Empire.

It's coming!
……

[Ding! Your civilization has entered a new era! ]

[Get reward: Energy! ]

Norman looked at the system prompt and nodded with satisfaction again.

It's not the reward from the satisfaction system, but the fact that these kids lived up to his expectations.

The last time he entered the information age, the system also gave him a reward, which was a dark staff that could use dark magic at will. It became stronger as Norman's strength grew, and was similar to the Black Shadow Greatsword.

But this time it’s “energization”, and to be honest, it feels a bit repetitive.

After all, the Shadow of Night itself can enter an energy state and turn into pure darkness and shadow.

However...if it is put into the civilization capabilities of the system, it can be comparable to gigantism.

After all, life in an energy state is also one of the special ultimate life forms!
"It seems that we will definitely have a place in the future, so next, it's time to collide with the civilizations in the universe!"
