Start with Island Lord

Study room near the lake.

The secretary wrote down the emperor's words with great shock.

'The artificial sun is a great idea that can make mortals comparable to gods. Once it is truly realized, our natural empire will truly become the kingdom of earthly gods! ’

After writing it down, the clerk asked timidly: "Your Majesty, do you want this result to be kept secret?"

Rosen smiled lightly: "What do you think? The highest level of confidentiality!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

If it were just an artificial sun, Rosen would make it public, or even open a solar bond, raise funds, build a giant power ring, and start feasibility research on the "practical use of artificial suns."

But now that we have created something with strange properties, similar to an artifact, it must be kept secret.

And he will at least keep it a secret until the Natural Empire has established an absolute advantage in this field, or until he can no longer hide it, he will slightly announce the relevant concepts.

On the other side, Rosen's body immediately went to Cavendi's laboratory and found Cavendi.

"Continue to improve the performance of the power ring. When the performance is sufficient, we will conduct practical verification of the artificial sun. We will stop for now."

Cavendi was a little strange: "But why?"

Rosen put the small wooden box he gave him in his hand, shook it, and used a secret message from his heart: "Because this little thing. It is not a substance, but a mana crystal, and its strength exceeds Legend 19."

Cavendi's eyes suddenly widened: "Is the unified formula predicting the possible existence of divine power?"

"Yes, it is divine power, real divine power, and it is a thousand times more wonderful than the divine power predicted by the unified formula!"

"It's not appropriate to make it public until we have a complete grasp of it."

Cavendi understood immediately: "Then I will continue to improve the power ring."

Rosen said: "Don't forget to demonstrate the artificial sun. This has to be done. You must prepare in advance."

"clear."

Rosen added: "Also, I need a group of people to open a confidential laboratory to study this gadget. You can recommend a group of young people to me."

Today's laboratory is very large, and there is no shortage of young people like this. Cavendi quickly assigned a group of young and promising mages.

Immediately afterwards, Rosen found Bell again.

Bell has naturally been paying attention to the content of the paper and already knows the results of hydrogen isotope fusion, which makes him extremely excited.

After seeing Rosen, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, since the basic elements can transform into each other, then as long as they continue to transform, we can achieve alchemy in the true sense!"

When Rosen heard this, he sighed in his heart: "You are blindly optimistic now. If you want to fuse gold, even the sun can't do it. How can you talk about us mortals?" ’

Anyway, from his point of view, even if the human race on earth in the previous life were to become extinct, they would never be able to fuse gold.

For mortals in this life, there may be a slight possibility, but the possibility is definitely not high.

Of course, you cannot say this, otherwise it will dampen the enthusiasm of young people.

He patted Bell on the shoulder and encouraged: "Then open a separate laboratory to study the transformation of basic elements."

"no problem."

Bell looked excited, but then asked: "When will a real artificial sun be realized?"

"This will take some time, because the power ring is not yet mature, but don't worry, Cavendi is already working hard to improve it."

"Hmm~ That's really good."

Bell's curiosity has been satisfied by the experimental results. He also knows that the improvement of the power ring does not happen overnight, so at this time, his mind has been attracted by the transformation of elements.

Rosen has something else.

"Bell, I need a group of mages to help me purify hydrogen isotopes from seawater. The more, the better."

Bell only thought that Rosen was engaged in solar research on hydrogen isotopes, and had no idea of ​​building weapons.

The reason is that the conditions for the transformation of basic elements are too harsh and cannot be achieved explosively on a large scale.

He nodded immediately: "This is a simple matter. We have accumulated sufficient experience and can start working right away."

Rosen was very satisfied, and after asking for confidentiality, he left Bell Labs.

Then, he took the young people from Cavendi Laboratory to set up a "High Energy Magic Laboratory" and began to study the characteristics of magic under high energy conditions.

He had a clear hunch that the breakthrough point in the mystery of the branch of life would most likely be in the high-energy magic laboratory.

Therefore, he personally sat in the laboratory and focused on studying the solidification of mana.

Time passed day by day, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Almost a year has passed since the engagement with Queen Zoya.

Rosen also obtained enough hydrogen isotopes from Bell Laboratories.

He used the principle of elliptical bifocal focusing and detonated a fission nuclear bomb to create a 'big sun' with fairly good fusion efficiency.

In order to have enough, he built five 'big suns'.

In order to prevent accidents, he classified and saved the various components, but ensured that when needed, it could be assembled in half an hour.

For ease of use, he built an unmanned aircraft vehicle with a flight range of 1,500 kilometers based on the size of the sun and the empire's highest existing technology at all costs.

Because this vehicle does not require high accuracy, it does not matter even if it is one mile above the ground, so it flies very fast, reaching 3 times the speed of sound.

Of course, all this was done in secret, and no one in the world knew about it except Rosen himself.

At this point, he had both bullets in his hands, and the anxiety in his heart was gone.

Even if the world-destroying demon king Gaumirel comes, he will not be weak.

So, he gathered his thoughts and put almost all his thoughts on the high-energy magic laboratory.

But if he doesn’t look for trouble, trouble will find him.

On this day, he had just arrived at the laboratory and was finishing the day's tasks when he suddenly heard the Queen's call.

The queen's status is still very important. He immediately connected with the puppet substitute, and then saw Zhuo Ya holding a report and looking at him with a heavy face.

Rosen glanced at the report and saw that the title was "Annual Trade Statistics", and he immediately knew what it was.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Zoya placed the document on Rosen's desk: "In the past year, the Imperial Bank of Radiance's reserve gold coins have decreased by 20 million lire."

Lire is the unit of glorious gold coins. 1 Lira is about 1.2 Oggs, which is 24 million Oggs less.

Rosen knew it well and smiled: "Your Majesty, this is all the result of free trade."

Zoya sat next to Rosen: "Yes, it is the result of free trade. But I have to intervene, otherwise our country will run out of money."

This is a bit serious, but it really cannot go on like this.

If a country has been running a deficit for a long time and there is no other input to fill the hole, the country will go bankrupt.

As the emperor of a country, Zhuo Ya certainly cannot sit idly by.

She said: "We have to balance the trade between the two countries."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "I agree. I am very willing to buy the empire's steel, black stone, silk, grain, and various fruits."

"By the way, we also very much need the high-quality light of destruction crystals produced by the empire."

Zoya shook her head: "Of course I will sell these, but our glorious empire also wants to produce lightning cars."

The Natural Empire makes the most money from two products, one is the lightning car, and the other is the high-precision ring meter.

These two things are simply gold-eating beasts, swallowing up the gold coins of the Glorious Empire.

Rosen pretended to be confused and said, "Then let's give birth, and no one will stop me."

Zhuo Ya pouted slightly: "I tried to make it, but the quality is far not as good as yours, the cost is far not as low as yours, and the performance is even worse. It is impossible to sell it."

Rosen smiled and said, "Take your time. I thought back then, I spent a lot of effort cultivating the production line."

Talent cultivation, magic technology, engineering technology, etc. are not a matter of a day or two.

"I know, but if the car can't be sold, I won't be able to recoup my investment at all."

"So, I have to increase the import tariff on imported lightning cars to increase the market competitiveness of our country's self-produced lightning cars."

Rosen spread his hands and said, "You can do it."

This is the legitimate power of the Glorious Empire, and he has nothing to say.

Zhuo Ya added: "Then, I will increase export tariffs on goods exported from our country."

In other words, she wants to raise prices for exported goods.

This is also the legitimate power of the Glorious Empire. From a moral perspective, Rosen has no reason to interfere.

And by doing this, Zoya can indeed balance the trade between the two countries.

But Rosen thinks this is not a good idea, because the essence of this is dividing the cake that has already been made, and the most important thing to do is to make a new cake.

In addition, the Natural Empire was busy with domestic construction, and Rosen focused most of his energy on the high-energy magic laboratory, and had no time to conflict with the Glorious Empire.

"Want to hear my idea?"

Zhuo Ya immediately listened intently.

Rosen pointed to the west: "The Holy Elf Empire has been quiet in the past year. Do you know why?"

Zhuo Ya really doesn’t know.

Although she really wanted to know and sent many spies to investigate, the Holy Elf Empire was hidden in the endless forest and was extremely difficult to penetrate.

Therefore, she only knew that the elves seemed to be doing something big, but she didn't know what big thing they were doing.

Rosen smiled and said, "Let me tell you, the Holy Elf Empire is currently at war with the Great Demon Buck's Fusion Empire in the Storm Continent across the sea."

Zhuo Ya was shocked: "Ah~ are you sure?"

Rosen nodded seriously: "I'm sure."

Zoya knew that Rosen would not lie about such a big matter, and she immediately understood Rosen's intention.

"Going to rob the Holy Elf Empire?"

She was excited, but immediately frowned.

"This matter is difficult to handle. The forest sea in the Elf Empire is very dense, hiding countless dangers, and it is even fireproof."

A normal forest sea can be burned cleanly by a fire, but the elven forest sea is not burned at all.

Rosen smiled and said: "You can go to the Ocean of Storms to grab the Dragon Islands."

"I heard that many dragon islands are rich in resources, including gold mines, silver mines, and iron mines. There are so many."

"If you continue to engage in free trade, I will give you aid weapons."

Zhuo Ya was very moved because she knew what Rosen said was right. She had also been coveting the Dragon Islands for a long time.

But she could naturally understand Rosen's plan and couldn't help but say: "You have such a beautiful idea, let me grab the money and spend it on you."

Rosen chuckled and said, "Not only can I assist weapons, I can also assist the fleet."

"But if I assist the fleet, I will share the captured Dragon Island."

Zhuo Ya immediately refused: "No, let's just support weapons."

Rosen shrugged: "As you wish."

To be honest, he didn't have much idea about Dragon Island.

Because Dragon Island is too far away from the Natural Empire, there is also the Glorious Empire in between.

He occupies an enclave. If something happens in the future, rescue will take a lot of effort.

It is far less comfortable and enjoyable than making money from the Glorious Empire.

"Then it's settled?"

"It's settled."

Zhuo Ya was a man of swift action, and immediately began to prepare a robbery strategy.

Rosen immediately returned to the laboratory.

Another month later, he finally got what he wanted from the high-energy magic laboratory.

"It turns out that the tree branch of life is a special crystal of divine power."

From this perspective, it is indeed appropriate to say that it is a divine weapon.

"Can I make it?"

He now has a very good understanding of life magic, and the so-called "life mechanics" is already quite perfect. With the new knowledge of high-energy magic, it is really possible to make it.

Of course, it is just "possible".

Because Rosen currently does not have a "stable" and "controllable" solar furnace.

There are unstable and uncontrollable solar furnaces.

After a careful calculation, he had an idea in his mind.

"Try to make it, what if it succeeds?"
