284: Strategic Goals

After communicating the specific situation with Yue Shan, Yang Dian first sent a message to the Research Institute that he was going to the China-India border.

Then, he didn't contact Liu Wei, but instead prepared to fly by himself.

After integrating all his knowledge, Yang Dian felt that his strength had improved significantly.

As for the specific extent of what he could achieve, he would have to verify it step by step.

With a thought, the magnetic field around his body embedded itself into the Earth's magnetic field.

He slowly flew a few hundred meters off the ground, and after confirming that he wouldn't affect anyone else nearby, Yang Dian launched himself into the sky.

In a few blinks of an eye, he broke through the high cloud layer and enjoyed the sunset and evening glow high above.

"3 seconds, 6000 meters, 2000 meters per second, 5.88 Mach. This isn't even the limit."

Yang Dian muttered, then tapped his wristband and began to study.

Study what?

Of course, it was how to achieve the fastest flying speed under the same conditions!

"First, change the structure of the magnetic field around the body, optimizing it into a spiral or annular structure, concentrating the magnetic field energy, and increasing propulsion efficiency."

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally smooth magnetic field, under Yang Dian's control, became somewhat pointed.

His instant flying speed instantly doubled.

Qi and blood surged to his body surface, counteracting the damage caused by air friction during high-speed flight, while Yang Dian continued to study.

"Next, control multiple sets of magnetic fields to work together, forming dynamic magnetic field waves through phase differences, simulating a 'magnetic surge' to achieve continuous acceleration."

"Hiss~ This seems a bit difficult. What I can control now is my own magnetic field, not the magnetic field of nature."

"If I split my own magnetic field into multiple parts, I'm afraid I might also split apart..."

"Let's look for other acceleration methods."

"Some laboratories have found that rotating superconductors can produce a weak anti-gravity effect under a strong magnetic field. If the anti-gravity effect is amplified, it can counteract gravity and reduce flight energy consumption."

"How is this achieved? Do I have to study physics just to learn to fly?"

"So hard, so hard, so hard..."

He flew and studied at the same time.

Ultimately, Yang Dian, by embedding his own magnetic field into the Earth's magnetic field and letting the Earth's magnetic field propel him, increased his flying speed to 10 Mach.

Beyond that, his own magnetic field strength was insufficient; forcibly increasing speed would instead lead to magnetic field disorder, causing his flying speed to decrease.

After stabilizing his flying speed, Yang Dian tried to accelerate himself with Qi and blood.

But each surge of Qi and blood would cause changes in his own magnetic field, altering the spiral structure of the magnetic field and causing his flying speed to drop instead of rise.

"Still not strong enough."

"If only I could forcefully control the magnetic field with Mental Energy."

"Besides that, my own strength is a bit weak, and the intensity of the biological magnetic field I emit is limited."

Shaking his head, Yang Dian released the magnetic field circle and began to fly using Qi and blood.

Then he discovered that flying with the magnetic field meant sensing and controlling the magnetic field to achieve the purpose of flight.

The main consumption was the Mental Energy consumed when controlling the rotation of the magnetic field.

This was a delicate task.

Flying by moving his body with Qi and blood, on the other hand, was using Qi and blood to vibrate the air for flight, a brute-force method.

"So, to control the magnetic field to increase flying speed, I need to continuously improve my own 'quality' and increase the magnetic field I emit."

"In addition, I also need to increase Mental Energy strength and optimize the magnetic field structure to achieve the goal of speeding up."

"Flying with Qi and blood, in short, is just being reckless."

In his thoughts, Yang Dian switched back to magnetic field flight mode.

Magnetic field flight was virtually without consumption.

After completing the self-modification of the magnetic field, as long as he restrained his own magnetic field circle, he could achieve fast flight with minimal Mental Energy consumption.

This was much less strenuous and much faster than simply flying with Qi and blood.

"It's a pity that the strength of my own magnetic field is limited, and even with subjective conscious control, it cannot leave the body too far."

"Otherwise, I could directly control the magnetic field to create an electromagnetic cannon..."

...In ancient times, there were immortals who traveled to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

Yang Dian felt that he might be a little stronger than the immortals of ancient times.

After all, even if he occasionally stopped to test his strength in uninhabited areas, it only took him less than 30 minutes to travel from Nanjing City in the east to Zayü County in the southwest.

At this speed, let alone traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, he could make ten round trips.

He quietly landed behind Yue Shan.

Just as he was about to greet him, Yang Dian saw goosebumps rise on the back of Yue Shan's neck.

Then, like his backside was on fire, Yue Shan surged with Qi and blood and darted to the side.

Seeing him ready to burst out with Qi and blood and prepare for a fight at the slightest provocation, Yang Dian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and chuckled:

"Uncle Yue, what are you doing?"

Yue Shan's movements paused. After retracting his Qi and blood, he glared at Yang Dian:

"You little devil, why are you so silent when you land? Is it just to deliberately scare me?"

"This damn thing, it's not the first time you've done this, is it?"

Yang Dian chuckled:

"I wasn't deliberate."

"This time I didn't activate Unity of Man and Nature."

Yue Shan turned his head and looked left, right, up, and down. Not seeing an aerospace fighter, he squinted at Yang Dian:

"Still saying it wasn't deliberate?"

"You got off the aerospace fighter from afar and snuck over here. If you weren't deliberate, were you intentional?"

Yang Dian snapped his fingers, "Uncle Yue, I flew here myself."

Yue Shan's eyes widened:

"I haven't been on the phone with you for half an hour, have I? You flew here yourself? How did you fly over two thousand kilometers?"

Yang Dian manipulated the magnetic field, flying a few circles over the mountaintop.

"I just flew over like this."

Yue Shan's eyes looked a bit bewildered, "Just flew over like this?"

"What kind of flying method is this?"

Yang Dian stopped and looked at the so-called disputed area:

"When Mental Energy and Physique are strong enough, the spirit can sense the existence of one's own magnetic field."

"Using Mental Energy to control one's own magnetic field and embedding one's own magnetic field into the Earth's large magnetic field allows the Earth to push one to fly."

Yue Shan fell silent.

"How strong are you now?"

"Uncle Yue, there's no meaning in asking that," Yang Dian stretched:

"People grow."

"My strength when I say this sentence is not equal to my strength after I finish speaking."

"So I can never define how strong I am."

"Heh." Yue Shan suddenly slapped Yang Dian's back, making him sway:

"You little rascal, are you playing coy with me?"

Yang Dian chuckled, then asked:

"Uncle Yue, when will the Bodhi Tree bear fruit, and to what extent are we planning to fight this time?"

Yue Shan glanced at the 35-meter-tall Bodhi Tree on the adjacent hilltop, then said seriously:

"Don't kill indiscriminately this time."

"Nine City-Level powerhouses have come from the Indian side, but we will only kill seven of them and leave two."

Yang Dian frowned, recalled the City-Level powerhouses from the Indian side, and then suddenly understood.

"Planning to create a balance?"
