Start with Island Lord

‘Buzz~~~chi~~~’

In the distorted light, Rosen, who was still in Levend Platinum City one moment, appeared in the underground secret room of Swansea Castle the next moment.

The phase transfer technique requires extremely high soul strength, with a minimum starting level of seven levels, and you must rest after performing it once.

With Rosen's current soul strength, he can perform a phase transfer in about 8 days.

At the same time, the transfer process also has many limitations.

The greater the mass transferred, the more energy, and the farther the distance, the more mana and Soul Diamond are consumed.

Rosenben had a heavy body and carried more than 70 dim mana stones with him, with a total weight of more than 130 kilograms.

By the time they reached their destination, 80% of the mana in their bodies had been consumed, as well as 8 Soul Diamonds.

If all mana gems are full, the mana consumption will also increase significantly, and the transfer may even fail.

Finally, the secret room at the destination is also specially built.

Not only was Rosen the only one who knew the location, he also set up a special phase lock.

If you don't know the correct unlocking method and force the transfer, you will be greatly disturbed and the transfer will fail.

These limitations make it difficult for the phase transfer technique to be used to transport materials on a large scale.

But that’s not to say it’s useless, it’s still very useful.

Because it can be used to convey information.

Based on the phase transfer principle, Rosen has achieved ultra-long-range delay-free control of puppets.

He used this trick to deceive Irene.

Back to topic.

After coming out of the secret room, Rosen was not idle for a moment.

First, he built a secret puppet control room. After spending ten days to complete it, he boarded a plane and secretly arrived at Levind, using a carefully crafted bloodline puppet to replace the real Queen of Levander.

The international situation in the Nature Alliance has been relatively stable recently, and Rosen is not planning to cause trouble for the time being, so he is focusing on developing Weilan and cultivating his internal strength.

As for him personally, he has always had a plan to go to the Republic of Nahuatl to learn from it.

Not only to obtain sutras to fight against demons, but also to obtain sutras of legendary knowledge.

Although the succubus Mediana has obtained a lot of legendary knowledge from the guardian archmage Naya, if you think about it for a moment, you will know that this knowledge is definitely not the best.

Rosen especially wanted experience in legendary magic training, and wanted to know what was the upper limit of the soul strength of a legendary mage?

Logically speaking, you can leave at any time, but as a lord, you have many things to consider.

Although he admires the Nahuatl Republic, he does not deify it.

As long as it is a country composed of mortals, it will definitely have various interest disputes.

If you want to get real good things in Nahuatl, you definitely can't rely on feelings, you must exchange them with real benefits.

But wealth and silk can move people's hearts.

It's also in someone else's plane. If you take valuables and good things but don't have enough self-protection ability, then your own life safety will be difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, you must not only bring enough good things, but also prepare enough self-protection capabilities.

Obviously, the mana gem is not only a great treasure, but it can also greatly improve his self-protection ability.

Therefore, Rosen focused most of his energy on researching mana gems.

Technique research is extremely boring, especially since it requires confidentiality, and there is no one to share the discussion with, so Rosen seems mysterious and often disappears.

Fortunately, he also had an almost perfect puppet substitute, so not many people noticed his abnormality.

Time flowed calmly, and another two months passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Duke Rosen was sitting in his study a little bored, closing his eyes and taking a nap. He seemed to be resting, but in fact he was freeing up more computing power for the subject.

In the past two months, the subject has gained and lost in the technique.

The gains in natural faith have been huge, and the supply of power of faith has greatly increased, reaching almost 30% of the soul-burning secret method.

The power of faith puts very little pressure on the soul, which results in a significant increase in Rosen's mana endurance.

However, the research on mana gems has encountered many bottlenecks, and the advancement speed is also very slow.

‘Tuk-tuk-tuk~~’

There was a knock on the door, and Alai, the housekeeper, came in and reported: "Sir, Master Kruber wants to see you."

"Come in."

Rosen opened his eyes and allocated about 5% of the computing power.

Although it is only 5%, it is already significantly higher than the processing speed of the ordinary human brain.

Kruber came in, holding a thick document.

He is now a little fatter, well-dressed, has a steady temperament, and has the aura of a cabinet minister.

There is no doubt about his work ability, which helped Rosen a lot.

Rosen naturally further improved his personal treatment.

"Sit down, Kruber."

Some changes were made to the study room facing the lake, adding chairs and two assistant attendants, specially used to entertain important ministers of the principality.

After Kruber sat down, he handed the document to the assistant attendant, and took the tea from another assistant attendant.

He still insisted on calling Rosen by his old name of 'Lord': "Lord, the money in the treasury is almost running out."

Rosen took the document and flipped through it quickly, carefully looking at the clear and distinct expenditures on it.

After reading it, the statistical results will be synchronized.

In the past two months, Weilan has achieved a trade surplus of 18 million gold Oggs.

Items for sale include magic ring tables, black stone electric cars, lightning messengers, a large number of miscellaneous civilian magic weapons, shares of overseas flour factories, and various high-end magic materials.

This income is much higher than that of Duke Weiland in the past, and it is still increasing.

The good news is that of the 18 million gold Oggs, fully 15 million were earned by various newly opened citizen factories.

After deducting the cost, it can be handed over to the government for direct use.

The bad news is, there are more places to spend your money.

In two months, the government spent a total of 28 million OG banknotes.

The Mint's money-printing machines were running around the clock, and they were all smoking.

The number of four-ring mages with anti-counterfeiting seals has also increased from the initial 100 to the current 1,000, and the number is still increasing.

Although paper money is scattered among the people of Weiland, for the government, it is seriously beyond its means.

If the government runs out of money, it won't be able to do big things.

Where to spend money?

One is the factory areas in Ruhr County and Hongyuan County. The second is the construction of the new capital of Weilan.

Especially the latter one is simply a gold-swallowing beast.

Although the construction method of "private-driven, government planning and subsidy" was adopted, these plans were too advanced, so the subsidies were very high, otherwise no one would be willing to take over the project.

Of course, although spending money is fierce, it is not pure money.

It is also an investment. After the capital is built, the various construction teams trained can be used throughout Weiland.

Putting the document back on the table, Rosen asked: "How's the discussion about adding currency anchors going?"

This is the top priority. Kluber straightened his back immediately and answered seriously.

"Lord, I have to say that using Weilan's annual grain output as an anchor is very good and everyone is very convinced."

"There are two main points of contention right now."

"First, what is the anchor ratio? Second, grain output is unstable. Should we use conservative calculations or optimistic estimates."

These are details.

Rosen asked: "Based on the most conservative calculation, how many more banknotes do you think can be printed?"

Kruber thought for a moment and said: "Based on the average price of 5 Oogs per ton of staple food and the most conservative grain output, we can probably print 30 million Oogs more than the current gold reserves."

"In a few years, food production will increase significantly, and it is estimated that 100 million more Oggs will be printed."

One hundred million Oggs is equivalent to 150 billion Klay banknotes, which is completely enough for this wave of expenses.

Once the capital is built and the factory area is built, consumption will be greatly reduced, and it can be maintained by relying on foreign trade and various taxes.

Rosen isn't worried about inflation, either.

Because inflation is caused by more money than goods, money loses its value.

Now that he is issuing banknotes based on grain output, at least the money can be used to buy grain.

There are also a large number of other goods on the market that need to be purchased with money, so the number of banknotes issued is actually very conservative.

Rosen raised his hand and clicked on the desktop file: "The old method is to release an announcement and let the public discuss it extensively and collect public opinion."

"When we basically have a unified view, I will issue a ducal decree and conduct an experimental issuance of additional banknotes."

"Yes, Lord."

Then he gave another piece of news: "Lord, after the magic conference, Weilan's population has a net inflow of 6 million, of which 30% are high-quality mage talents."

Rosen was very happy: "It's very good, but there will definitely be conflicts between the local population and the non-local population, and various social competitions will also become fierce due to the increase in population."

"If there is too much coming too fast, set some thresholds to control the speed of the influx."

Currently, Weilan has a large number of vacant positions that are in need of talent to fill, so it is not a problem at the moment, but population flow will create an inertial effect, which will cause problems over time.

"Yes, Lord."

Kruber retreated.

As soon as he left, Stonard from the Foreign Service arrived again, also bringing a large pile of documents, which were the latest international news.

Rosen checked them one by one, looking at them, and his eyes were fixed on Weilan's old rival Aaron.

He clicked on one of the messages and asked: "How soon do you think the Lion King will take action against the Levanders?"

Stonard naturally understood what this meant.

He said softly:

"It will probably take a year or two."

"Because he does it very secretly and the sheep aren't fat enough."

"So he put a lot of decrees as a fog to attract more Levand businessmen to invest in the country so that they can harvest more assets in the future."

Rosen smiled faintly: "Then let him do it. Let's watch him do it first."

"Don't we care?"

"Of course we have to take care of it, but we have to take action at the right time."

If this matter of the Lion King had been done in the past, it would have been done. Levind could only scold him a few times, and then punish the Aaron businessmen in the country accordingly.

But things are different now.

In the past, Aaron's country had nobles as a buffer. When the king did something bad, he could find a way to blame the nobles and find an unlucky guy to take the blame. However, he was still a good king who was innocently deceived.

But now, no matter how many evil things the Lion King does, he will have to bear a lot of notoriety!

If you carry too much notoriety, your crown will be shattered.

Therefore, Rosen planned to take advantage of this wave to smash the Lion King's crown in one fell swoop.

Stonard understood immediately: "Got it."

"Very good, continue to pay close attention. I will be prepared."

Not long after Stonard left, another person followed.

But it was Master Cavendi who was stuck in the laboratory and could not be seen except for asking for funding.

Cavendi is really a talent, with a good brain and a very good talent for magic. He has even been promoted to the fifth ring.

"Sit down, Mage Cavendish."

Cavendi did not sit down, but walked directly to Rosen's desk, placed a thin spell book in front of him, then pressed it with his hand, and said in a suppressed excited tone:

"My Lord Duke, guess what this is?"

Rosen was happy when he saw him like this, because it meant that he had made another breakthrough.

Considering the recent news, he guessed in cooperation: "The high-energy unification phenomenon of various forces has been verified?"

Cavendi smiled: "That's right!"

He let go of his hand, with a blazing light in his eyes.

"My Lord Duke, your idea is right. The mutual conversion of various forces only requires the simplest requirement, that is, the strength of force!"

"As long as the strength is high enough, the lowest wind force can also be converted into noble pure mana!"

"Because the conversion of low power requires low strength, it can be easily observed in daily life. The conversion of noble power requires high strength, so it is not easily observed in daily life."

"But if high strength is created in the laboratory, the power conversion can be clearly observed. At present, the phenomenon of lightning power converting into mana has been clearly observed!"

Rosen was happy to hear this, and immediately allocated 10% of the computing power to this clone, and then picked up the booklet to take a closer look.

There is no name on the cover of the booklet, but there is a title inside, called "Mathematical Model Deduction on the Consistency of the Essence of Power".

After opening it, it is based on various fine experimental phenomena, summarized and summarized by mathematics, and finally a fine mathematical model is obtained.

The booklet is very thin, with only more than fifty pages.

Rosen verified it while reading it mentally.

He quickly turned to the end, pointed at the book with his finger, and said, "The last mathematical model is very good, but it is still too complicated."

"I have an idea, how about you take a look?"

As he said, he took out a pen and paper, wrote down the new mathematical model he had summarized with his powerful computing power, and then handed it over.

Cavendish knew that the Duke had a strong mathematical ability, so he did not dare to underestimate it. He took it and immediately looked at it carefully.

He only took a glance and knew that this was better.

It was more concise, straightforward, and full of the beauty of truth.

The more he read, the more he liked it, and he was even deeply fascinated by it. He praised: "Duke, you didn't peek at the Creator's creation manual, did you?"

Rosen smiled: "Even if you peeked, we peeked together."

He raised his hand and gently patted the documents on the table: "Basically all the work is done by you, I won't take any credit."

"This formula, let's call it the Cavendish Power Unification Formula."

Seeing Cavendish was about to object, he smiled and said: "Don't let me do anything embarrassing, Master Cavendish."

Cavendish was moved, but knowing the Duke's character, he didn't say anything more.

He continued: "The new truth ring has been built, which is larger and better than the white sturgeon island, and can achieve a stronger high-energy environment."

"According to the calculation of this new theory, the upper limit of the pure force energy conversion array should be able to reach 48%. Of course, due to various conditions, it has actually only achieved 1.5% at present."

Compared to the past 0.5%, it has increased by three times, and it is one step closer to practical use.

Rosen smiled and said, "If we can reach 10%, it can be put into use."

"What applications do you think it will have?"

Mage Cavendish said immediately, "There are many applications."

"We can use force to constrain the flames, continuously compress them, and achieve higher intensity flame power."

"If it can be miniaturized, it can be used as a driving force for aircraft."

"If it can't be miniaturized, just build a big thing and suspend it in the sky."

"This big thing can carry cargo and serve as a sky freighter. When needed, it can even be used as a super bomb and smashed from the sky!"

"Also, you can build super artillery shells and use pure force for precise ultra-long-range throwing."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, almost dancing with joy.

Rosen listened carefully, but he also had an application in mind.

Or, it was a super version of the first application Cavendish mentioned.

That is to use pure force to constrain and achieve an ultra-high intensity high-energy environment, thereby achieving controlled nuclear fusion.

If it really works, the power will be endless, and the subsequent applications can be easily achieved.

Of course, the technology is far from mature and can only be used as a fantasy.

So, he smiled and said, "Very good!"

'Shua shua shua' wrote a funding order.

"This power unification formula is of great significance. In addition to my extra authority as a duke, I will allocate another 300,000 ogres to the laboratory. 200,000 of them are used for laboratory construction. 100,000 ogres are used as personal rewards for experimental mages."

"Take it to the cabinet and ask them to allocate the money."

Cavendi was waiting for this sentence. He smiled and left happily with the order.

Rosen looked at his back and sighed in his heart: 'It costs more to raise a mage than a woman. '

After becoming a duke, he has invested another 3 million ogres in Cavendish Laboratory.

But the investment is worth it.

Looking at the newly obtained power unification formula, he was happier than Cavendish.

"What a good thing~~ It's really a good thing~~ It helped me solve a big problem at once."
