I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 320 Primal Furnace (5000)

The sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters is vast and boundless, as if endless blue silk is spread to the edge of the sky and vaguely connected with the horizon.

The thin clouds in the sky were slightly illuminated by the sunlight, like a veil floating in the sky.

A black shadow rushed past like an arrow. From the ground, one could only see a small black dot quickly crossing the sky, but strangely, it did not leave any trace of white airflow, as if the entire sky was making way for it.

The black surface of the falcon was faintly emitting a magical glow, which contrasted with the sunlight in the sky, outlining a cold and smooth outline.

"When flying at full power at Mach 3, the magic crystal consumption rate is quite fast. We have only flown 1200 kilometers and have already consumed 5 units of magic crystals, which is 1.65 times more than the cruising speed of Mach 5. If it is a little more, it will almost catch up with the sky."

Fang Yu controlled the direction of the falcon and looked down. He saw the mountains and rivers below scattered like a chessboard. It was already the end of August in the main plane, and from time to time he could see a small patch of yellow fields in the green grassland or forest.

It was like the earth was covered with yellow patches.

The Nambis Mountains are located in the south of Loirek and the northwest of Estella, running across the entire border between Loirek and Estella.

This mountain range also separates Estria from the Norven continent, turning it into a large peninsula.

It is said that this place often experiences earthquakes, but fortunately the magnitudes are not large and have little impact on Estella and Luwak, so no one pays much attention to it.

The road leading here is very difficult to travel. The mountain is not low, but it is very brittle. Huge rocks often fall from the top of the mountain, making it impossible to build a road. It has become a natural barrier that separates Estella and Luwak.

It is also because of this that the semi-slave and corrupt dynasty of Estria can continue to exist, otherwise it would have been conquered by Louvain long ago.

"The Falcon model is relatively old. It was developed in the TR750, and was mainly used for single-person medium-distance fast cruising at that time."

"But in TR811, the Norwen Continent began to fully lay out medium-distance teleportation arrays, which were faster for business travelers, but the cost was slightly higher, so the sales of Falcon plummeted."

"With fewer sales, Speed ​​Aircraft Company has focused its business on short-distance flights, large commercial airships, luxury cruise airships, and inter-dimensional aircraft."

"This type of medium-range small aircraft is almost no longer developed, so the early Arcane Engine AE200 has been used."

"The Arcane Engine of Skyrim is already the 9th generation AE TITAN539 engine for small and medium-sized luxury cruisers produced by Speed. The technological advancement is too different."

Yuzi explained to Fang Yu with her eyes twinkling.

Why the hell did you do that? Why didn't you tell me when I bought this Falcon?

Oh, by the way, this Falcon was compensated by Speedy, not purchased.

"AE TITAN539? Will there be TITAN739 and TITAN939 later?" Fang Yu snorted.

Some lavender purple appeared on Yuzu's body, indicating surprise: "Huh? Master, how did you know?"

It turns out that the ideas of unscrupulous businessmen in every world are exactly the same.

Capitalists should be hung on street lamps!
By the way, the Orange model can be updated to version 2.5Pro in a few months to release some of its reasoning capabilities, and then a new charging tier will be added, charging 888 big Zhou coins or 150 Mai yuan per month.

At the same time, we will develop a 2.5mini version, cut out some things, and only keep the question and answer and image generation. The plug-in function cannot be used, and the price is 49.9 or 8 yuan per month.

This kind of slow update does not even require the use of the Orange model with 3 trillion parameters in its own private server. The Orange model that Yuzu Technology has already trained is enough to update for five years.

However, with the current investment of major companies in AI, and after the paper is released in a few days, the architecture of most of Orange's large models will no longer be a secret. It is estimated that in one and a half to two and a half years, they should be able to get to the edge of 2.5Pro.

We have to raise their expectations first, so that they will be interested in creating an AI atmosphere together, the industry will compete to roll up AI applications, there will be more AI talents, and AI will enter human life scenarios faster.

"We'll reach the Nambis Mountains in about three minutes. Let's take a look at the map. The exact location... Yeah, it's in this direction, so it should be correct!"

Fang Yu could already vaguely see the majestic Nambis Mountains stretching across the Estella Peninsula nearly two hundred kilometers away.

"Where is the floating mountain? Didn't you see that the mountain is floating in the sky..."

The weather near the Nambis Mountains was very good today, with almost no clouds. With Fang Yu's eyesight, he indeed did not see any floating mountains.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and the peaks are steep. The snow on the countless mountain tops that has not melted for years reflects the sunlight, which is occasionally dazzling.

Starting from the mountainside, there are layers of primeval forests. The accumulated water formed by the melted snow on the peak flows down from the top of the mountain, forming streams into rivers. When it reaches a large drop in height, it forms waterfalls of varying amounts of water, reflecting several gorgeous rainbows under the sunlight.

There was a large area of ​​vegetation growing that felt a little strange.

And there seemed to be some faint brilliant colors in the sky. Was it because of my eyes? Why did it look a bit like... the aurora?
"It should be nearby. There are indeed no mountains floating in the sky. We have already descended to an altitude of 6000 meters, but we still can't see any..."

"Huh? Master, slow down, wait, something is wrong." An amber color representing alert suddenly appeared on Youzi's body. Fang Yu was stunned. Before he could ask Youzi what was wrong, he felt the joystick in his hand was pushed upwards uncontrollably.

"What the hell! What's going on?!"

Suddenly, Fang Yu felt the Falcon plummeting, and then all the internal instrument displays began to spin wildly.

"What's going on? Is the plane going to crash?"

Fang Yu pulled the joystick hard, but it was of no use. The Falcon seemed to have completely lost power and fell straight down in free fall.

No, it's not a free fall, this speed is like a dive.

In just a few seconds, the falcon dropped nearly 1000 meters like a meteor.

Dry!
Fang Yu grabbed Yuzi, raised his hand, fired an arcane missile to blow away the Falcon's hatch, and jumped out.

There was no time to use the Boundless Messenger to catch the falcon. Just as he activated the Feather Fall Technique, he heard a bang from the ground.

The Falcon fell to the ground and was broken into pieces, but it did not explode.

what happened?

Fang Yu's face turned pale as he slowly landed halfway up a mountain.

"Master, I just discovered that there is something wrong with the magnetic field here..." The pomelo kept flashing purple light in Fang Yu's hand, "Master, be careful!"

Fang Yu snorted, without even turning his head, he waved his right hand and an ice blade flew out, cutting off the head of a giant python that was about to attack Fang Yu from behind!
Dirty blood splattered everywhere.

"What is this?"

Fang Yu glanced at it and couldn't help but frowned.

On the surface it looks like a giant python, but who has ever seen a python with horns on its head?
Fang Yu picked up the python's head. This thing was still very tenacious. It wanted to bite Fang Yu when only its head was left, but Fang Yu grabbed its mouth and lifted it up.

There was nothing unusual about other places except that the skin was unusually tough and there was a single black horn on the top of the head.

Fang Yu broke the horn with his hands, and then he felt a suction force coming from the ground that was far stronger than gravity.

The broken horn produced a repulsive force with the broken horn in Fang Yu's hand.

Is this... a magnet?
This snake has a magnetic horn?

"I've never seen anything like this before. This isn't an extraordinary creature, it seems to be just an ordinary creature." Yuzu flew up unsteadily. "The magnetic field strength around here is very high, more than 60,000 times that of a normal magnetic field. All creatures around here may be affected by the magnetic field and undergo some mutations."

Sixty thousand times! ?

Fang Yu calculated, magnetic field strength of 30000 Gauss?
3 Tesla?
Isn't this much higher than the magnetic field strength of conventional neodymium magnets?

No wonder I saw the aurora just now.

No wonder the Falcon crashed.

Although the Falcon is an arcane flying machine, unlike an airplane, it is also made of a lot of metals, including ferromagnetic metals. Under the influence of the magnetic field, it will naturally be sucked down by the magnetic field when it flies to this place. Wait, magnetic field, repulsion... Could it be that the so-called floating mountain is a big magnet?

Even magnets cannot form stable suspension.

And where is this floating mountain?
The magnetic field intensity in this place is too strong, and the drone can't fly. The spell doesn't seem to be affected. How about using the flying spell to try?

"Master, master, over there..." Fang Yu felt that Youzi patted him with the magician's hand. He looked up and saw that Youzi's body was flashing with colorful spots in the silver light. She was obviously surprised and confused.

Youzi used a tangible wizard's hand and pointed at Fang Yu's side. Fang Yu turned his head and saw a fist-sized stone floating quietly two meters away from him, not moving at all.

! ! ! ! !

Fang Yu instantly used Wilde's Doting to add a mage armor to himself.

But looking at the stone again, there was still no movement.

Fang Yu only thought about it for a moment before he used a magician's hand to grab the stone in front of him.

Huh? It looks like a stone.

Identify it.

"The slag from the original furnace? What is this?" Fang Yu asked Youzi curiously.

"The original furnace?" A silver light flashed on Yuzu's body, and then he spun a few circles in the air and cast a detection spell on the nearby area.

"Yes! It's here! I know!" An orange light burst out from Yuzu's body, and she was obviously very excited.

"This is Ignacum! Ignacum!" Yuzu shouted excitedly, "The original furnace is here!"

"But how come this place has become a mountain range? There should be a valley here. The Eternal Furnace is 3000 meters below the valley. How did it become a mountain range now?" After being excited, Youzi became confused.

Fang Yu's face turned dark. You know it, but I don't.

Yuzu was still very excited, "Master, don't you understand yet? The mountain under our feet is the Floating Mountain!"

I still don't understand? You didn't say anything, I don't understand shit!

But, is this mountain the floating mountain? I didn’t see any floating mountain.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, raised his hand, picked up the pomelo, put it in the net bag on his chest, performed a flying spell, and flew quickly to the foot of the mountain.

This net bag was originally used to hold basketballs.

The Nambis Mountains stretch for nearly 300 kilometers and are nearly 100 kilometers wide. Although it is said to be the foot of the mountain, it is actually about 1,000 to 2,000 meters above sea level. The terrain is dangerous and far away from human habitation, with deep valleys, cliffs and high mountains everywhere. If you are not a transcendent, you can't come here at all.

"This! This is..."

Before Fang Yu's feet even touched the ground, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

I saw that the mountain I had just flown down was actually about 20 to 30 meters above the ground, suspended in the air.

The surrounding vegetation is very dense. If you are not too close and can fly, you will not be able to notice that this mountain is suspended!
Although you are not as mysterious as the legend says, you are indeed suspended!
Moreover, near the mountain, there are a lot of large and small pieces of rubble suspended at a higher altitude, like the rings of Saturn, surrounding the mountain at a height of forty or fifty meters!

How can this be?

This is a mountain! How can such a large mass float in the air? Is there an arcane engine installed in this mountain?
No, it's the stones!

What on earth are these stones called slag from the original furnace!?

"Ignacum is a city of alchemy, true alchemy. Two-thirds of the metallic arcane materials of the Great Arcane Age came from here, because there is a primitive furnace here!"

"The Primordial Furnace is not a true furnace. Instead, it fastens the four elemental planes of the Inner Planes together in a specific way. The area where the four elements intersect is mapped on Ignacum, and it becomes the Primordial Furnace."

"Water, fire, air, and earth, the four basic elemental planes continuously provide this furnace with alchemical materials at almost no cost. After being refined and fused in the furnace, they become various rare materials and are transported from here to various places in the main plane and various sub-planes."

"The original furnace was built by the Union of Arcane in the Great Valley of Wally in TR33. It took a total of 188 years, and was officially completed and put into operation in TR. It is known as the thruster that opened the Gilded Age."

Whenever Yuzu mentioned the many creations from the Great Arcana period, she would speak with pride.

"But, there weren't originally any mountains here, it should have been a canyon." Yuzu's tone dropped.

"In ten thousand years, the world has changed dramatically. In sixteen thousand years, the slag from the original furnace has actually formed a mountain range." Yuzu sighed.

Fang Yu frowned: "Wait a minute before you get sad. The arcane wizard has disappeared for more than 16,000 years. Who controls this primitive furnace? Where does the slag come from? Where does the strong magnetic field on the ground come from?"

Yuzu was stunned: "Of course it is discharged automatically. The arcane mage sets the daily requirements...Ah! It's broken!"

Yuzu reacted immediately.

The Kunlun Mountains on Blue Planet are considered young, with a history of nearly 20 million years. How could such a large mountain range be formed in just 16,000 years?

This means that this primitive furnace has been working for 16,000 years! The slag and alchemical metals discharged not only filled up the canyon, but also formed a medium-sized mountain range along the canyon terrain!
The arcane mages disappeared in an instant, so there was definitely no time to shut down the furnace, so the furnace continued to produce the set alchemical metals according to the production requirements set before the arcane mages disappeared.

If this furnace is not closed, sooner or later, the entire Norwen continent will be crushed by these slag and alchemical materials!
Of course, this may take hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

No wonder there are frequent earthquakes nearby. There is a production workshop below that is constantly discharging slag and alchemical materials. How could there not be earthquakes?
But no matter what, if the furnace is not closed, the main plane will be assimilated by the four elemental planes sooner or later.

The problem is, how to turn it off.

Even if we don't count the mountains that are over 3,000 meters high, and only count the 3,000 meters underground and 2,000 meters above sea level, we still need to dig down 5,000 meters to reach the underground where the original furnace is located.

Fang Yu thought about the spells he knew, and it seemed that none of them could do it easily.

He didn't want to spend months digging in this place just to shut down a furnace.

Wait, why are you thinking about this? Even if there is a crisis, it will be at least tens of thousands of years later. Aren't you studying how this mountain flew up?
Fang Yu leaped up and dug out a piece of stone from the mountain. After identification, it was also "slag from the primitive furnace."

As soon as he let go, the stone flew into the air and floated motionlessly at a height of about 150 meters.

Fang Yu held the stone and flew outward, and the intensity of the magnetic field dropped drastically.

When it flew ten kilometers away, Fang Yu let go again, and the slag from the original furnace fell to the ground with a snap like an ordinary stone.

Fang Yu flew back to the Floating Mountain and carefully observed the floating state of the stone-like object under the magnetic field again, and poked it with his finger.

The position changed, but the suspension form did not change.

Is this... the Meissner effect and the pinning effect?
No way?
Fang Yu's heart was pounding.

"Yuzu, in the Age of the Great Arcana, what is the specific use of the slag from the original furnace?" Fang Yu asked, suppressing his excitement.

Yuzu blinked, "Slag is slag. There is more than one kind of slag in the original furnace. It depends on what it was producing at the time. The current slag should be a byproduct of Cybertron Steel. Cybertron Steel can almost isolate all elemental damage. The resulting slag is generally useless. It is usually transported to other sub-planes as garbage. What's wrong, Master?"

Fang Yu raised his eyebrows: "Idiot! Analyze yourself why this mountain floats! All the known conditions are here, don't you think it through?"

Without Fang Yu's instructions, Youzi generally would not take the initiative to think. The previous decryption of the encrypted package was also because Fang Yu gave it a long-term task to decrypt the encrypted package, so it took the initiative to find a decryption method.

Yuzu was stunned, and white light flashed a few times on her body. It was obvious that she was thinking hard, and then a little silver light appeared on her body: "You mean... these slags are room-temperature superconductors!?"

Room temperature superconducting material appears~~~
