Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 809 - 38: Anti-Gravity Field

After Perfikot's meticulous inspection, the effective range of the anti-gravity field deployed by the floating core is a spherical area with a radius of 5.2 kilometers.

Thus, the mountain where the floating core is currently placed is also subject to the effects of the anti-gravity field.

However, anti-gravity does not mean the mountain will be directly launched into the sky.

The mountain body has freed itself from the constraints of gravity, being in a state of weightlessness, but without upward force to pull it off the ground, it would not actually detach from the earth.

Just like the already constructed floating battleship, the floating core installed allows the battleship itself to become very light, but an engine is still needed to provide lift for the battleship to take off.

Because the anti-gravity field created by the floating core negates the battleship's weight, the battleship itself can be built very large without needing to install airbags.

Thus, a fully metal-structured battleship emerges.

Only upward or downward thrust is needed for the battleship to rise or descend, and forward or backward thrust for it to advance or retreat.

The same goes for the battleship and the mountain. Perfikot originally worried that activating the floating core might pull the entire mountain off the ground, though it's not impossible, the likelihood is quite low.

As for how people move within the anti-gravity field, this has been technically validated on floating warships and the problem has been solved.

Simply put, it involves various methods to lower the strength of the anti-gravity field, so that it roughly balances the ship's weight, enabling people to move on the ship without being affected by the anti-gravity field.

Alternatively, all crew members aboard the floating battleship must wear magnetic boots to stick themselves firmly to the battleship.

This way, during wartime, the anti-gravity field can be deployed so that even if the battleship is hit or an accident occurs, the sailors on the battleship won't directly fall off.

Moreover, the deployed anti-gravity field can serve as a defense, for in this world there are no such energy attacks as magic ray, and even in aerial combat, people mainly use throwable flying apparatus.

The greatest advantage of the anti-gravity field is that it can directly disrupt the forces on incoming missiles or other objects, thereby altering their flight paths to prevent the battleship from being hit.

This defensive mode was tested by Perfikot, and although the results aren't particularly outstanding, it is indeed effective.

However, regarding a city, evidently this method is not feasible.

On a battleship, because of fewer people and all disciplined and rigorously trained, they can avoid the impacts of the anti-gravity field deployment and adapt to life in an anti-gravity environment through training.

Yet if it's a city, excessive deployment of the anti-gravity field would be inadvisable.

Not to mention the various debris flying about after the anti-gravity field deployment, the main concern is how ordinary people in the field will manage to move, which presents a huge dilemma.

Even Perfikot couldn't possibly train an entire city to adapt their actions to the anti-gravity environment.

More so, considering the children in the city, their antics in anti-gravity conditions are completely unpredictable.

Therefore, the anti-gravity field settings for a floating city must differ from those of a floating battleship.

But for Perfikot, these are not issues; she already has comprehensive considerations and plans on how to let the anti-gravity field precisely function, so that it could uphold the city entirely without affecting the residents' lives.

"In retrospect, such a large anti-gravity field should have other uses besides building a floating city, right?" Sanderion, similarly floating in the anti-gravity field, voiced his query to Perfikot.

An ultra-large anti-gravity field with a radius of over five kilometers might not be much in city construction terms, but applying it to other fields might spark remarkably brilliant results.

In an anti-gravity environment, many things become different, and Sanderion is quite curious about what effects alchemy would have in such an environment.

This also makes Sanderion somewhat regretful for forgetting to ask Perfikot for a Flying Stone or to create one, which would provide him with an anti-gravity experimental field.

However, Po Diekate shook his head and said, "Such a large anti-gravity field is actually more suited for military training or constructing a gravity test site, but currently we have no use for it, so it's utilized to build the floating city.

Your suggestion is very valuable. Once the floating city is constructed, I'll consider how to maximize the use of the anti-gravity field."

"It's good that you have considered this! Speaking of this, doesn't it seem like only you can manufacture Flying Stones, these key materials?" Sanderion looked at Perfikot, suddenly asking a critical question: "Is there a problem with you having to personally make both large and small Flying Stones?

Not to mention that such a model greatly delays production, but with only you able to manufacture it, do you have enough time to make Flying Stones? Wouldn't it affect your routine work?"

Until now, only Perfikot could create Flying Stones, not just because she hasn't released the related formula, but also because making Flying Stones requires high-level Imaginary Alchemy skills, beyond what ordinary alchemists can achieve.

"That's a good question, but for now I don't intend to open up Flying Stone production." Perfikot shook her head, but soon addressed Sanderion: "However, considering production volume and the hindrance to my personal time, maybe building a specialized workshop to produce Flying Stones would be feasible.

I can share the formula with you; would you be interested in managing this workshop?"

For Perfikot, Flying Stones must be controlled items, as misuse could have serious consequences.

Nevertheless, with the ongoing development and utilization of Flying Stones, continuing to limit their dissemination seems somewhat unnecessary.

Thus, when Sanderion brought up the matter, she was open to the idea of slightly expanding the production of Flying Stones.

At worst, stringent control could be implemented.

"Entrust it to me? Like you, I hardly have spare time; maybe ask Heine about it and hand over the task to her." Sanderion didn't want to take on this burden and suggested handing it to his disciple instead.

Understanding Sanderion's disciple, Perfikot nodded without saying more.
