"Haven't the magicians tried to go outside the Earth?"

"Yes, but that probably only happened during the Age of Gods." Newton shook his head. "After the Common Era, the only magician—no, more like a magician—that I know of who has been in space is probably Zelrich."

"Although it's only a small part, it's really refreshing to be able to surpass the mystery in such a short time."

"Teacher, look at this manned space flight..."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do these days, so let me, a ghost of the past, catch up with the footsteps of the future generations."

"Haha, I always feel like it will be easy to catch up." Newton laughed out loud.

Plan Pass

Although Xing Qingwu's original intention was bad, his execution was good.

It is really exciting to be able to fly away from the earth and witness the beauty of outer space with your own eyes.

"That's a good suggestion. How can you become a talented person if you just do exercises every day without practice?" Newton said something that made Xing Qingfeng feel uneasy. "When the time comes, I'll do the calculations once, and you'll do the calculations once."

"Well... if there's a discrepancy and it's proven that you made a mistake, I'll punish you with one hour of practice for each mistake," Newton said. "Of course, of course. If it's proven that I made a mistake, you can graduate and won't have to practice so much in the future."

"How is it, are you looking forward to it?"

Do you want to go? I'm competing with Newton in math?

Eh...is this true or false?

Damn advanced mathematics is still chasing me.

----------------------

Although he boasted in front of his disciples, he was truly ignorant of current aerospace knowledge. If it were simply made with magic, he would probably find it difficult to accept.

In terms of time, I estimated that I only had three days of free time. It was indeed quite difficult to independently develop another set of technologies in such a short time.

It seems that I have to start learning from scratch. I once guided the direction of human progress, but now I have to follow in the footsteps of others.

Newton, immersed in his books, absorbed knowledge at a terrifying rate. As one of the most powerful alchemists in the Atlas Academy, he possessed the ability of sevenfold split thinking and high-speed thinking. In just a few minutes, Newton was certain of one thing—

——It is impossible to use purely scientific technology to produce a probe and a manned spacecraft within a few days.

In less than half a day, Newton, relying on his ingenuity, not only mastered the technology to build an artificial satellite from scratch but also personally constructed a model with Xing Qingqu. Although the model was made from materials sourced from the Matou family's electrical appliances, it theoretically possessed the basic functions of a functioning communications satellite.

Xing Qingqiu painstakingly wrested the naming rights from his teacher, specifically naming the machine Newton Mk-I. Newton was deeply moved when he first heard the name his student had chosen. Naming it after his teacher was enough to demonstrate how important he was to Newton.

——Until he heard Xing Qingfeng's sigh when the takeoff failed:

"Wow, Newton exploded."

Newton wanted to pick up the broom beside him and give Xing Qingwu a good beating, but he had no evidence to show that Xing Qingwu had this scene in mind when he named it:

The unfortunate thing fell apart the moment it took flight.

Although the strength of its materials determined that it was impossible to take off successfully, its disintegration process was always within Newton's calculations. After picking up the wreckage and studying it, it was determined that there was no problem with the structure, only the material.

But when he saw it flying upwards while dropping parts and finally exploding and scattering in mid-air, Xing Qingyu still felt a little melancholy.

Sure enough, I still want to see a miracle, I want to see this green thing fly into the sky.

But this was just the beginning. Newton and Xing Qingfeng longed to see far more. With the first step proven to be feasible, it was time to produce the Newton Mk-II.

Newton wanted to create more than just a simple satellite that could orbit the Earth. Such an achievement would have seemed too ordinary to him, unworthy of his genius.

Their goals are twofold:

1. Imitate the Voyager and create a probe that can leave and enter space for exploration.

2. Create a satellite space station that can truly break free from the Earth’s gravity and can carry people.

Even with ample time, achieving this in a small workshop with only three people without a modern industrial production line is simply a pipe dream. If the Japanese media learned of this, they would definitely crown him a space god.

Besides, the construction period is only three days.

Only a challenge of this difficulty can be commensurate with one's genius status.

Faced with this dilemma, Newton began to consider integrating alchemy into science.

Mystery has more limitations than more universal science. Even for alchemy, which came close to revealing the truth of the world, Newton could not guarantee that it would work properly in an unknown environment like space.

More information and more evidence are needed.

In order to verify his theory, he needed to collect enough data before the official launch. So he called Kenneth, and the three of them began preparing for their first test launch in the spacious courtyard of the Matou family.

They first built a small launch pad. Although they couldn't get professional aerospace alloys, Newton used alchemy based on the papers he had read to make an alloy with similar properties based on iron, nickel, and cobalt. This alloy could withstand extreme temperature changes and strong mechanical pressure.

Next, they began designing and assembling a new satellite. Its primary mission was to successfully launch it into space and survey the outer space environment, verifying whether Alchemy could function properly in that environment and providing data for subsequent calculations.

"Kenneth, you've learned so much from me," Newton said, looking at Kenneth who was busy screwing in the screws. "It's time to pay your tuition."

"You mean..."

"Contribute one of your three magic furnaces." Before Kenneth could reply, Newton turned to Xing Qingjiu and said, "Qingjiu, go and move the magic furnace over here."

"Yes, Sir!"

Xing Qingfeng rushed to the basement of the Matou family like a bandit entering a village. Originally a nest of insects belonging to Matou Zouken, it had been used as a temporary workshop after Kenneth had cleared it out. According to Kenneth, he would never choose to build a workshop on the surface again.

Xing Qingyu wanted to block the vents to suffocate the people inside, but he thought that Kenneth seemed to have some psychological trauma, so it would be better not to stimulate him before he recovered.

"Teacher, the magic furnace is here."

"Very good." Newton glanced at Kenneth, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and continued, "What are you afraid of? The satellite will be recovered, and your magic furnace will not be lost forever."

"No...it's nothing." Kenneth smiled awkwardly and continued to use the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to hit his screws. "I feel relieved when you say that."

Xing Qingyu stood by the launch pad, his eyes fixed on the busy figures, and couldn't help but sigh, "I always feel that this efficiency is a bit unrealistic." He watched Newton and Kenneth's actions and was almost certain, "It should be completed by evening."

In Newton's studio, mechanical parts and alchemical materials were scattered across the floor, his hands moving swiftly among them. In fact, if Newton hadn't insisted on keeping the satellite's structure consistent with previous spacecraft, he could have used alchemy to integrate the design immediately after completing the blueprints. That way, the satellite's components would be seamless, undoubtedly making it even stronger overall.

But Newton had his own insistence on this. He believed that if it relied entirely on mystery, the satellite would be meaningless.

However, the lead engineer in charge of the assembly (as he later called himself) had some complaints. He later commented, "I spent three days screwing in the screws while they just watched me. No one wanted to help me."

Although he had to admit that even from screwing screws, he learned a lot from watching and listening.

"Xing! Stop looking and solder that board!"

Every tightening of a screw, every welding of a metal plate, was the product of their collective wisdom. Although Xing Qingfeng only provided ideas and Kenneth merely used the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to drive the screws, the design and implementation of the entire project relied entirely on Newton.

But that didn't stop them from feeling they had contributed significantly to the project. Xing Qingfeng felt like he and Newton were just killing each other.

As night fell, the work neared completion. A crystallization of technology and alchemy was placed on the launch pad, where science and mystery met for the first time.

————————————————————————

As night fell and the stars twinkled, the courtyard of the Matou family was completely silent. In this tranquil night, an experiment worthy of being recorded in history was secretly unfolding.

As time passed, all preparations were finally complete. Kenneth gave the satellite's connection points one last check, ensuring everything was secure. Xing Qingfeng distributed freshly cut watermelon to everyone, waiting for launch time.

"Three, two, one, launch!" Newton's voice pierced the night sky. Following his command, the magic furnace beneath the launch pad roared to life, and flames and smoke erupted as the magic fueled them. The satellite slowly ascended, accompanied by a deafening roar as it broke through the atmosphere and headed towards the vastness of space.

"Everything is normal at the moment. The thermal control system, energy system, propulsion system, communication system, and detection system are all functioning normally." Xing Qingfeng looked at the specially designed Newton terminal in his hand and shouted, "We are about to break through the atmosphere. The carrier rocket is preparing to leave."

"Well, it's still within the range the calculations predicted. The key is the information the satellite collects after reaching the planned orbit. If there are no anomalies, the same approach can be applied to subsequent probes and space stations."

"We're about to reach the planned altitude—ten—nine..." Xing Qingfeng shouted, "The propulsion rocket has separated normally, and the satellite's propulsion system is normal..."

"Wow!" Xing Qingyu exclaimed as he looked at the data coming from the terminal.

"what happened?"

"The energy system is quite unstable, and the propulsion system is also experiencing a chain reaction." Xing Qingfeng shouted, "I don't think we can reach the planned orbit. While the communication and detection systems are still functioning properly, we should start operations now."

"This is the last data it sent." Xing Qingfeng handed the terminal to Newton. "Shortly after I activated the detection system, according to the last signal, the magic furnace seemed to have collapsed and exploded first—"

"—But before that, most of the magical equipment had already been disabled."

"In short, Newton exploded again," Xing Qingfeng concluded. "Newton Mk-II died at the age of thirty-four minutes and seven seconds."

Newton quietly looked at the data sent back by Newton Mk-II. Xing Qingfu's decision was quite decisive. When he found that the magic instrument began to gradually fail, he had already forced the detection system to start. Although this aggravated the collapse of the already unstable energy system, it was better than getting nothing.

"The malfunction of the magic instrument wasn't the direct cause of the satellite's destruction." Newton had pieced together the cause from the data. "After breaking through the atmosphere, the ether concentration dropped dramatically, but I also took countermeasures—"

"Considering that the current ether is a counterfeit of the First Law, I specially created a facility compatible with the real ether."

"But it's no use. Both the ether and the true ether are so thin that they are almost zero." Newton judged.

"It seems that there is no ether in the space between the planets. The magic furnace cannot operate normally and stably in this environment. The previous design has been completely overturned."

OK, I successfully applied for the recommendation.

Regarding the heroine, there may not be much discussion before the first and second volumes. The later volumes are considering adjusting the structure and adding emotional lines. For the time being, they want Ai Ge to pursue the hero, because the protagonist who is not perceived by Genyuan is indeed very attractive in Ai Ge's eyes.

I was really happy after seeing the long review, but I found that my author level cannot post a reply in my book review area. It’s so abstract (

Volume 1: The Alchemist's Apprentice from the Fourth World War: Without even a moment's mourning for the hotel explosion, the backyard of the Matou family immediately rushed to the battlefield.

"I should have anticipated this." Newton shook his head, a hint of subtle disappointment in his eyes. "The magic base is fused into the earth's veins. Without it, most magic will become ineffective."

"Furthermore, after leaving the planet, the Great Source (Mana) cannot be utilized, and the ether is thin. This is the normal state of space. Without the support of the Great Source, the magus is like a fish without water, relying only on the small source (Od) in his body to survive."

"It seems that modern magic has been proven to be incapable of breaking free from the constraints of gravity," Newton made a rather absolute judgment, his voice carrying an undisguised firmness. "Perhaps the magic of the Age of Gods can. Can we find a way to summon the Wandering Sea? Perhaps we can find the key to a breakthrough."

"Should we use the Jade Method? No, that's a black box that even I haven't been able to crack, a miracle that humans can never reach. It would be a bit tedious to resort to magic to solve a problem like this."

"Well... if we imitate the structure of the Star Anchor..." Newton's voice gradually became low, as if he had entered another level of thinking.

Gazing at the last data sent by the satellite after the crash, Newton quickly calculated the feasibility of various options in his mind. As an exploration satellite, as long as it could detect and transmit environmental data, its mission would be accomplished.

As for the magic furnace exploding...

It's not Newton's fault. The reason why he chose Kenneth's magic furnace instead of designing an independent one at the beginning of the design was that his magic furnace was quite special: as the supreme ceremonial equipment of the El-Melloi family - the Three Basics Magic Furnace, it was made of materials that the young Kenneth personally excavated from the spirit tomb of Albion.

Compared to ordinary mana furnaces, the Tri-Base Mana Furnace completely outperformed them in terms of both stability and output. Why bother designing a new one when there's already a higher-performing, ready-made engine right in front of you? This was Newton's pragmatic approach, always seeking the most efficient solution.

I didn't expect it to be allergic to outer space, like it was hypersensitive to it. As soon as it left the atmosphere, it became extremely sensitive and exploded. If it were a normal mana furnace, it would probably just stop working in an environment lacking mana and aether.

There's no way around it; this is a necessary sacrifice. On the path of science, there are always unexpected sacrifices; this is the price of progress.

It wasn't his stove anyway.

"Eventually, I'll have to devise a new plan," Newton pondered, sitting on the still-warm launch pad. His gaze pierced the night sky, as if he were gazing at the satellite that had vanished into space. His fingers gently tapped the metal surface, the crisp tapping providing background sound for his thoughts.

"The structure of the Star Anchor... do we still need to consider this?" Newton stood up, dusted himself off, and made up his mind. "No, now that we understand the ultimate outcome the Alliance wants, there's no need to worry about the process of achieving it."

"Servant... Heh, we the dead really are quite versatile materials."

Kotomine Risho's mood has become quite bad these days.

First, they covered up the second night's scuffle at the docks, tentatively explaining it away as a natural gas explosion. But without even a moment's mourning over the dock explosion, the thirty-two-story Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel immediately rushed to the scene.

What to do? Should we use natural gas explosion?

According to the data, the last Holy Grail War wasn't this dramatic. The scale of the destruction caused by the docks alone far exceeded that of the previous war, and the collapse of Fuyuki City's current landmark buildings was a major headache for the Holy Church.

I finally found an excuse to explain to the people, but immediately—

——The backyard of the Matou family attracted the attention of the people around twice. The first time, an unidentified object was launched into the air and then exploded in mid-air. It can also be used to prepare for next year's fireworks display.

But there was no moment of mourning for the disintegration of the Mk-I, as it was the Newton Mk-II that immediately rushed into the starry sky.

The second time, the UFO took off from the Matou family's backyard. Like a resolute meteor, it soared unobstructed into the sky before the eyes of all the citizens of Fuyuki, vanishing into the night. Its blazing tail of flames pierced the tranquility of the night, leaving a long trail. Even residents of neighboring cities could clearly see the glaring light, and many stopped their work, left their homes, and gazed up at this rare sight.

In the streets of Fuyuki City, people gathered in small circles to discuss this scene endlessly: some said it was some kind of new experiment, while others believed that the old man of the Matou family had died and his ashes were being scattered. In short, trying to cover it up was far more difficult than covering up the two previous explosions.

At least the only natural gas company in Fuyuki City had insurance. If you gave them enough money, they would admit it. No matter how bad the reputation was, the citizens of Fuyuki couldn't switch to another company.

But how do we explain these two flying objects? As one of the three great families, doesn't the Matou family have any awareness of the anomalies in the Holy Grail War?

After this Holy Grail War is over, I will apply for retirement.
