Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1399 - 733: The Method of Modification

With this base, he could turn it into a small airborne fortress that integrates offense and defense, directly harassing and striking various enemies from the air, which is an absolute disaster for forces lacking defensive capabilities.

Not to mention arrows, even ballista impacts have very limited effectiveness on it.

Even if special abilities penetrate the protective arrows, there’s a thick layer of inflatable skin waiting here.

The gulping swallow ability doesn’t need much explanation; it’s based on the biological structure of the cloud manta itself, one of its three major attack methods, the most powerful and hardest to use.

Even Gaven, equipped with combat armor, wouldn’t want to venture around its throat.

It’s definitely not a pleasant experience.

This attack is far more than just numerical damage; in a place surrounded by teeth and muscles, a person feels bound, as if in a biological meat grinder.

Blood and flesh are surging everywhere; a slight misstep clogging the mouth and nose leads to a suffocation attack, not to mention the terrifying odor.

Indeed, some people have been swallowed by monsters as large as the cloud manta and still lived to carve a bloody path out, but they’re one in ten thousand, most becoming food in its stomach, ultimately ending up as a pile of dung.

In Gaven’s hands, this is merely a future feeding method for the cloud manta. Even the possibility of using the tail hammer is almost negligible.

An armed cloud manta and a wild cloud manta are two entirely different concepts; the cloud manta’s combat power is secondary, and its attack comes from the weapons and troops that arm it.

In Gaven’s view, the floating ability is the most valuable and potential-laden feature of the cloud manta.

This ability makes the cloud manta’s flight very stable; standing on its back previously wasn’t shakier than on a three-masted warship.

When installing a weapon platform on its back or hanging beneath it, there won’t be concerns about capsizing.

Speed is indeed the biggest shortcoming of this flight method.

But don’t forget, this is just the cloud manta itself. When arming it, how could Gaven not consider enhancing this aspect?

After reviewing the floating capability’s detailed introduction, at least two directions emerged in Gaven’s mind.

One is like a sailing ship, equipping the cloud manta with masts and sails, fully utilizing the wind’s power, complemented by spellcasters skilled in wind manipulation, continuously providing wind propulsion, naturally greatly enhancing flight speed.

Another option is jet boosters, like those on fighter planes.

Advancing the technology tree for such high-tech equipment isn’t easy; even the fuel alone is daunting.

Felen does have oil, called black oil, but its application is extremely low; all intelligent beings refer to it as poison oil. The smoke produced by burning it is toxic, rarely used in daily life, occasionally used as incendiary bombs in some wars.

Not to mention extracting oil also requires advancing a tech tree; those natural deities would never allow this industry to expand massively, the pollution that large-scale use of oil brings, they couldn’t foresee.

Gaven’s thinking has shifted; it’s no longer simply using Earth or Felen’s mindset but fully integrating both.

Using Earth’s thought process, seeking solutions with Felen’s native magic.

The jet booster is also in this scenario.

If using magic to advance this technology, numerous ideas emerge.

For instance, the most conventional mage method is binding powerful wind elements to provide endless wind power.

This already exists in Felen; the Mage Kingdom Halruaa’s airship uses this method.

For example, goblins’ black technology, Vick has never stopped researching the barrel device. He first solved the power source issue and found a breakthrough in an unusual direction.

He is racing unstoppably toward the path of black technology.

However, that thing uses shadow power, which has some erosion on organisms, not to mention its instability is the most troubling aspect.

Unless there’s another possibility, Gaven wouldn’t pin his hopes on it.

There’s also an exclusive direction belonging to Gaven—road force.

If a road idol is set on the cloud manta’s back, as long as enough sincere prayers are offered to it, the cloud manta’s speed can sharply increase.

This is just the preliminary usage, like this divine position, there’s huge room for exploration.

Previously mentioned, merely building luxurious and convenient roads is useless.

Updating transportation tools is equally crucial; only convenient transport can further stimulate the transportation industry, promoting long-distance trade. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Thinking about Earth’s explosive logistics industry development, e-commerce, it’s not something to contemplate in the short term, given its century-long culmination across various industries.

In Felen, there is one thing, within hundreds of years can’t catch up with Earth—human quantity.

Gaven only needs to achieve one thing, intermediate divine power—connecting Felen’s cities, big and small, with an extensive road network.

In short, even if not for the cloud manta, Gaven would focus on exploiting road force’s capability for enhancing movement speed.

The cloud manta’s initial movement speed is not ideal, but its carrying capacity is top-tier, as Gaven personally experienced just now.
