Witch Special

The specific plan is actually very simple, divided into three steps. The first step is to send Saitama into space. The second step is to have Saitama blow up the meteorite. The third step is to bring Saitama back from space.

Hearing Hayashi Maki describe her plan like this, Saitama didn't even know what to look like. Isn't this like stuffing an elephant into a refrigerator? Everyone knows the three steps; the important thing is how to do it, right?

"Well, I have so many questions. Can you answer them one by one?" Saitama raised his hand like an elementary school student asking a question, looking at Lin Maki sincerely.

Lin Zhenxi hadn't thought about explaining her plan in just a few words, but she had already prepared. She took out a small blackboard from the space cube, cast a spell to stick it to the wall, and began writing and drawing on it. While drawing, Lin Zhenxi also explained her preliminary preparations for this plan.

The first step is to send Saitama into space. Hayashi Maki will prepare a magic circle with a catapult function. The function of this magic circle is very simple, which is to "launch" the objects on the magic circle at a certain speed.

Although this function looks very simple, its effect is actually quite powerful, because it is the "basic attribute" ability that Lin Zhenxi learned from a very powerful magician.

What are fundamental properties? Fundamental abilities represent the inherent properties of something. For example, the hardness of stone, the flow of water, the gathering and dispersion of clouds, and the rising of air are all fundamental properties of these objects, and they are also their characteristics in science and physics.

A similar list of attributes also exists on the magic side, but because magic itself represents mystery, the method of observation is not as easy as that on the scientific side, and the expression is not as simple and clear as those attributes on the scientific side.

It could be said that any knowledge related to basic attributes already touched upon the laws governing the world itself, representing an incredibly high level of knowledge and ability. Normally, mastering such an ability would require meeting extremely demanding conditions, yet Lin Zhenxi had somehow mastered it.

Although her grasp of the technique was quite superficial and her application skills were far inferior to that of the excessively young "magician" she apprenticed to, Lin Zhenxi did touch the boundary of "magic release" and was able to modify the basic properties of "launch".

No one knows whether, given time, Lin Zhenxi can continue to develop this skill and then completely master the "release of magic power" and become the second person after that magician to touch "Magic: Blue".

The mere fact that Hayashi Maki had mastered the "launch" was enough to cause a major uproar in the inner world of that world. If it weren't for the fact that Hayashi Maki's teachers there had a bad relationship with the inner world's officials, and their relatively detached status allowed them to ignore the officials' opinions to a certain extent, Hayashi Maki would probably have been treated as a "sealed designation."

Under the pretext of "protection," they imprisoned and captured magi possessing rare talents or violating taboos, confining them for life. The Magic Association in that world was essentially doing the same thing as soaking a living person in formaldehyde to create a specimen.

Even if they said it was for the sake of the magic world, it was a benevolent seal designation for the association, but it was tantamount to a death sentence for the chosen magician. If Lin Zhenxi were truly captured by the Magic Association's gang, she would probably face a fate worse than death.

After all, at least at that time, she was not strong enough to make the Magic Association compromise for her.

In short, Hayashi Maki will use a "launch" to get Saitama close to the meteorite, most likely outside the atmosphere. Saitama's mission is to get close enough to the meteorite and deliver a powerful punch, shattering it outside the atmosphere. Since the apocalyptic crisis is caused by the meteorite, wouldn't it be enough to just make it disappear? Treat the problem with the right medicine, and eliminate the root cause. What simple logic.

Once Saitama shatters the meteorite, Hayashi Maki will activate the spatial imprint on Saitama and pull him back from outer space to the planet's surface. Compared to the arduous journey to the planet, which requires overcoming numerous obstacles, the return journey is not as technically difficult. After all, Hayashi Maki can't send Saitama to a place he hasn't been to, but she can summon him from a place he hasn't been to.

With just a reverse summoning technique, as long as Saitama does not resist, Hayashi Maki can summon Saitama from anywhere in this world to his side.

"Uncle, your battlefield this time is likely to be in space. You must have never been to space before, right?" Although he felt that it was not possible, but thinking of Saitama's outrageous and extraordinary behavior, Lin Zhenxi decided to ask in advance cautiously.

Saitama shook his head and denied it: "I'm not an astronaut, so of course I can't go to space. I've never even been on a plane."

That's... you can run faster than an airplane, so of course you don't need to take a plane. Lin Zhenxi retracted his complaints, nodded, and said, "In that case, let's arrange for you to go to space to familiarize yourself with the environment. How about this afternoon?"

When Saitama heard that Lin Zhenxi had already made preparations, he was initially struck by the absurdity of it all. After all, that was space, and normally, if you wanted to go to space, shouldn't you be sent up there by rocket? But how could Lin Zhenxi make it seem like it was something that could be done so casually?

"Is it really okay? I heard there are a lot of harmful rays in space..."

Lin Zhenxi looked at Saitama speechlessly. Saitama was an unknown humanoid creature whose physical fitness was comparable to that of an ordinary Saiyan.

"Don't worry, uncle. Satellites can fly in space for decades without breaking down. You're much stronger than them. Besides, you don't need to stay in space for very long. Talking about radiation dose without considering the exposure time is nonsense. You'll be fine."

At most...at most I'll just lose some hair (whispering).

Oh, no, Saitama is completely bald, without even a single hair left.

That's fine.

"What about oxygen?"

"Uncle, have you ever tried to see how long you can hold your breath?"

"I haven't tried it, it should be a long time."

"That's it, uncle. You just haven't come to terms with this yet. I'm afraid you don't even need to breathe right now. How about we find an oxygen-free environment and test it on you? I have a ready-made lab right here."

Saitama thought about it, then waved his hand and said forget it. He still liked his human identity. If he couldn't even breathe, how could he still be called a human?

However, the matter of going to space was decided, and Saitama began to look forward to it. After all, that is space, a dreamland that carries countless fantasies and beautiful expectations of human civilization for thousands of years.

Although in modern times, space is no longer a forbidden zone for humans, people have also begun to clearly realize that space is not a stage for mythology. There is no Chang'e or Selene there. There is only endless coldness and the light of distant stars, a large amount of cosmic rays, scattered low-activity gases, and the homeland that has been left behind, the homeland of the heart.

But in terms of personal desire, who can resist the urge to go to space in person and appreciate the magnificent scenery in space?

There were even billionaires who spent lavishly to build space observation ships, just to take a ride above the stratosphere and see what space really looked like. Now, Saitama had such an opportunity before him, and there was no reason for him to pass it up.

Lin Zhenxi had always been a man of swift action, and with the meteorite now approaching the planet at an extremely fast speed, they really didn't have much time to waste. Since Saitama had already agreed, Lin Zhenxi immediately stood up and began the preliminary preparations for launching Saitama into space.

Lin Zhenxi assigned the task of assembling a launch pad with precise and adjustable direction and developing a communicator that would allow Saitama to maintain smooth communication with the ground even at extremely high speeds to Kinos. Although that guy was best at biotechnology, it didn't mean that he knew nothing else. On the contrary, by analogy, Kinos' attainments in other disciplines were definitely higher than those of ordinary scientific researchers.

What's more, a communicator, which does not need to transmit images but only needs to transmit sound, has much lower technical content than modifying gene chains. Less than half a day after Kinos took the job, two communicators, one main and one deputy, were delivered to Lin Zhenxi by the hummingbird monster in the laboratory.

Along with it was a note from Kinos, which read, "Don't hire me for such an unchallenging job next time!"

Lin Zhenxi finished reading the note and smiled, then rolled it up into a ball and threw it into the trash can. "Such a useful tool, who else can I use if I don't use you?"

The launch pad and the communicator were completed almost simultaneously, and it could even be argued that the design was completed earlier. However, this was a large piece of equipment, and even though the entire set of equipment was 3D-printed, and Kinos had no shortage of strong and intelligent workers, assembling and installing the control circuitry still took quite a while.

Fortunately, Kinos' efficiency was remarkable. When the sun was still hanging in the sky that day, a medium-sized semi-trailer pulled a black launch pad with no reflective light to the downstairs of Saitama's house.

A small, monstrous ape climbed out of the car's cockpit, holding a form for Lin Zhenxi to sign. Saitama, looking at this clearly monstrous creature wearing a baseball cap and an orange courier's uniform, clenched his fists but gave up on the idea of ​​attacking it.

Forget it, they're not doing evil, they're just working hard to make a living. If they were a monster transformed from humans, they'd definitely have an antisocial personality, and beating them would be a no-brainer. But for this animal monster, which clearly wasn't created by its own will, we still have to look at its actual actions to determine whether it poses a threat to society.

Since he is just trying to make a living, what's the difference between him and ordinary people except that he doesn't look like a human.
