They wanted to fulfill their wishes and attempt the Alchemy of the Land, a technique that was theoretically possible but had never been done before.
Edward believed that they needed to improve the strength of the El Empire's existing technology tree.
Edward believed that whether the creation of the land could succeed was not a problem at all. Wasn't the previous plan for perfect life also considered impossible to achieve within a few hundred years?
Look at it now, a perfect life form has already been born, and the creation of the land is the same.
Edward believed that with his talent here, nothing was impossible.
"The problem now is that we are going to war with the whole world, with the strength of our one country against the entire world..."
We must use war to etch the milestones of the transmutation array; we can only succeed, not fail.
Given the current strength of the El Empire, this process could result in the deaths of a large number of its citizens.
This was an outcome Edward did not want to see.
"Develop and study our current gunpowder, innovate and introduce new technologies, and at the same time explore the possibilities of other weapons."
[You are ready to advance the technology tree. To accelerate your plan, you have completed the evolution of perfect life for your father, the first and second alchemists at the testing ground.]
For alchemists, the greatest benefit of becoming a perfect being is that their minds are enhanced several times over.
Problems that previously required time to think about can now be resolved in seconds.
[Inspirations that were once elusive, and obstacles encountered in research, are now easily overcome.]
While they may not be able to reach your level, they're still quite good.
[In just about a week, with the collaboration of four perfect beings, you've managed to create a new type of explosive.]
Now, it's test time.
An empty testing ground was set up, with a metal can placed in the very center, surrounded by wooden planks, bricks, and iron plates placed in different directions around it.
They wanted to test the destructive power of this new type of explosive and see what level of defense it could theoretically penetrate when combined with fragmentation.
As for the audience seats for these alchemists?
"Is everyone ready?"
Several people hid behind a metal plate in the far corner, with a glass panel in the middle to ensure good visibility.
"We've been prepared for this for a while, but is it really necessary for us to be this far apart? Even if our bodies were blown to pieces, we should be able to recover, right?"
The second alchemist in the testing grounds, besides the two royal members, is the second most powerful alchemist here, pondering his thoughts.
They are now perfect beings, and he has also gained familiarity with his own abilities over the past few days.
There's nothing to be afraid of with explosives, right?
"So, you're willing to walk back bit by bit by yourself? You're just bored, aren't you?"
The emperor tapped him on the head. Even if they could shield themselves from pain, and avoid turning themselves into alchemist fragments or something, what were they thinking?
"...Hmm, what you said does make sense."
He scratched his head, feeling that it might indeed be his problem.
"I'll stop here for now, I'm about to detonate it, everyone watch the explosion."
This time, Edward was naturally the one to conduct the detonation experiment.
Through the extension of spiritual power, the array was forged to ignite flames and set fire to the ropes on the ground.
It burned rapidly and reached the explosive.
"..."
"boom……"
