Having come to the White Sturgeon Island for more than half a year, Cavendish has always been under pressure, and the pressure is getting greater and greater.

Although the Baron never asked him to produce results, and even often comforted and enlightened him during daily discussions of magic, he knew in his heart that he must achieve results!

Huge investments one after another, unconditional human and material support, in less than half a year, the total investment has exceeded the total income of the former employer Henry Marquis in two years! The support was so great that even his father, who had always supported him, felt ashamed of the Baron and was embarrassed to ask the Baron for money again.

But he had to speak.

Because the experimental equipment is not perfect yet and needs to be improved.

It’s like climbing a rock. If you don’t grit your teeth and persevere halfway through, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Every time he applied for funding, he mustered up his courage, but the Baron never said a word. He would approve it immediately after just one look at the experimental content.

Sometimes, additional funds will be allocated even without his application.

As a wizard pursuing the truth of the world, it is a blessing from the Creator to meet such a lord.

If possible, he even felt that he could give everything to the Baron.

But he knew what the Baron wanted, and what he wanted.

He also knew very well that the best reward for the Baron was to present the Creator's truth to him.

So he studied hard day after day, forgetting to eat and sleep, and even fainted from exhaustion several times.

If the Baron had not sent him the healing potion in time, his body might have collapsed long ago.

And because of the effect of the magic potion, he can always be in the best physical condition to face challenges.

Now, after half a year of hard work, he finally lifted a corner of the Creator's veil and saw a little bit of the true face beneath the veil.

This made him extremely excited! In the huge laboratory, after Cavendish sent the communication, he paced back and forth again and again, organizing what he wanted to say, the experimental content he wanted to demonstrate, and his vision for the future.

The assistants and apprentices beside him were silent, and each of them showed a suppressed excitement and uneasiness on his face.

The excitement comes from discovering the truth, and the trepidation comes from worrying that the truth is too small to satisfy the lord.

Everyone in the Cavendish lab knew about the Lord's huge investment.

What’s worse is that the laboratory enjoys the greatest input but the smallest output, so it is often ridiculed by its peers in other laboratories.

This made everyone hold their breath.

After a wait that seemed very long to everyone but actually lasted less than half an hour, the lord finally arrived.

As usual, his clothes were simple and even a little plain, but his tall stature and unique temperament made him always recognizable in the crowd at a glance.

What was different from usual was that in addition to the routine guards, there was also a young female mage with an unfamiliar face.

This female mage looked very extraordinary at first glance, and one could vaguely sense that she possessed extremely strong magical powers.

But no one paid too much attention to the strangers, the mages only paid attention to the lord.

As usual, the lord said in a gentle tone: "Young men, show me your wisdom."

Cavendish was waiting for this sentence. He waved his hand vigorously and said, "Boys, let's get started!"

Following these words, more than 200 young and smart research mages quickly came to the back of a huge rune ring with a diameter of more than 120 meters and a height of more than 10 meters.

This is the core of Cavendish Laboratory, called the 'Ring of Truth'.

The construction cost 320,000 Oggs, and this was because the transformation alchemy of the White Sturgeon Island could provide a lot of cheap materials.

If it was placed somewhere else in the Natural Alliance, it might not even cost 1 million Ogg! Without a doubt, this was the most expensive man-made object in the history of the Natural Alliance, and it was used purely for magic research rather than war and power display.

Seeing this huge thing, the accompanying Queen Kao was greatly surprised and couldn't help asking: "This must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Just within the visible area with her naked eyes, she saw countless copper wires, which she estimated weighed more than 100 tons in total.

Other magical alloys such as arcane, krypton, mithril, etc. are everywhere, as if they were free.

Alia heard it and whispered, "Madam, this cost more than 300,000 Oggs."

"300,000 Oggs, isn't that enough? I think it should be at least 800,000 Oggs."

Queen Kaa has seen everything in the world and has a very sharp eye.

After a careful observation and a quick estimate, she felt that it would be impossible to make such a big thing with 300,000 yuan.

Rosen chuckled and said, "In Kao, it should cost 1.1 million. However, we have some material advantages on the White Sturgeon Island, and many raw materials are cheap, so it is indeed around 300,000."

Queen Kao was even more surprised: "1.1 million? At this critical juncture, you are throwing so much money here. Shouldn't you focus on building warships?"

This is enough to build two 3,000-ton Silver Moon battleships.

She had always thought that Rosen was a very rational lord who only cared about interests and power and was ambitious to dominate the world, but now she felt that she seemed to have been a little wrong.

She couldn't help but ask, "What does this thing do?"

“Explore the truth of the world.”

The queen shook her head repeatedly: "That's too much. I mean, what can be done specifically?"

Rosen shook his head: "It is a research direction related to the transformation of noble and humble energy, but it is not clear what it can do specifically."

"Not sure?"

The queen was slightly startled, then turned to look at the magic master who was walking back and forth on the field with an excited look on his face:

"This guy seems familiar to me, what's his name?"

"Cavendi, a master of magic, happens to be a khal and once served Earl Henry."

The queen thought carefully, and then suddenly remembered something: "I remember, he seemed to be making a pure force energy conversion array, right?"

"That's right."

"I have also seen this magic circle. I thought it was good at the time, but the initial investment was very huge. The initial estimate was at least 700,000 or 800,000. I tried to persuade the cabinet to invest, but was rejected unanimously."

Kaa's annual financial revenue is about 60 million Oggs, and the annual research funding invested in the Department of Magic is about 2 million Oggs.

This is already a fairly high proportion.

If we squeeze out 700,000 or 800,000 yuan from it to support a master of magic who comes from a commoner background, then other research on magic will be greatly affected.

The key point is that the research of this master of magic may not yield any results. Seventy or eighty thousand is just the minimum. No one knows how much is actually needed.

So the queen could do nothing to help.

She once believed that there was absolutely no lord in this world who would be crazy enough to support such a research project.

As it turned out, she was wrong.

On a remote island in the magical desert of Veran, there lived a small baron who lived in a simple little castle, and the dining table for his family of five did not even have more than ten dishes.

Yet he was willing to spend such a huge sum of money that even the kingdom was reluctant to spend, almost like a moth to a flame, to support the research of magic.

This is just stupid! So stupid!

But for some reason, a voice deep in the queen's heart said: "Looking up at the stars is not stupidity, but the divine flash in the hearts of mortals."

These were the words spoken by the sage Gilad of Kao two hundred years ago. It was also this sage who pioneered the magic of the new era.

The queen couldn't help asking, "Baron, in your eyes, is truth more important than royal power?"

Rosen looked at the young mages who were about to be ready, looked at their eyes filled with fanaticism, and nodded slightly.

"Kingdom is not eternal, but truth is."

After filling their stomachs, people always want something more.

In Rosen's eyes, power is a means to achieve goals rather than the goal itself.

The queen said nothing, but she squeezed her hands tightly in her sleeves.

This sentence reminded her of herself more than 40 years ago. She was still young then, and she was just like the Baron now, doing everything she could to pursue higher magical achievements.

Unfortunately, her husband, the king, who was lying on the bed, ruined everything! At this time, all the young wizards were in place and began to charge the key parts of the Ring of Truth.

Cavendish stood by, holding a newly developed Lightning walkie-talkie in his hand, constantly coordinating the work of the mages in various parts.

This was an extremely tedious task, but the wizard did it in an orderly manner, and it was obvious that he was familiar with every detail of the Ring of Truth to the core.

Amidst the calm words that suppressed her passion, the queen's turbulent soul gradually calmed down.

"Now I know why the first Black Stone warship appeared on the White Pelican Island."

"Obviously, the Black Stone Battleship is just the starting point."

At this point, the queen turned to look at the island lord who was paying close attention to the magic circle: "After conquering Weilan, will you continue to move forward?"

She had no doubt that the Baron could conquer Weilan. With Reid's two skills, it wouldn't take long for him to do so.

Rosen turned to look at the queen: "This question is a bit far-fetched. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

The queen was startled, then laughed: "That's right."

After a while, the Ring of Truth was fully charged, and Cavendish ran to Rosen with excitement: "Lord, look at the test bench in the middle. That is the gathering point of pure power."

Rosen nodded: "I have seen the big bucket on the test bench. That is the heavy object to be lifted, right?"

"It's not the bucket, it's the water inside. It's filled with thirty tons of water."

Cavendish nodded excitedly and continued, "Thanks to the Mind Meteorite that the Lord found, I gained a new inspiration and found an auxiliary material with amazing effects."

As he spoke, he raised the intercom and said, "Now we are connecting to Lightning and entering the final warm-up!"

As these words were spoken, there were sounds of 'hum, sizzle, and sizzle', and every rune on the Ring of Truth lit up, and faint blue arcs appeared.

“The preheating process takes about five minutes. The purpose is to preheat the new material, and the effect is to get the material into an excited state.”

Rosen asked, "What is the final conversion efficiency?"

“It was raised to 0.5% in one go!”

Rosen was shocked: "This is a qualitative leap!"

It was originally less than 0.01%, but now it has increased 50 times.

Cavendish was also very proud: "I have found a completely new direction. The magic formula tells me that if I continue in this direction, there is still a lot of potential for improvement."

The queen was shocked. She looked at the lightning swirling around the magic ring and asked, "How much lightning power was infused in this?"

She felt that the power of lightning injected into the magic ring had reached an incredible level.

Never in her life had she imagined that a mortal could simultaneously control such magnificent lightning powers.

In comparison, the lightning she had previously infused into the Mind Meteorite was simply child's play.

Cavendish didn't recognize the queen, but since she was brought by the lord, he patiently explained: "It is infused with about 300,000 degrees of lightning."

Then he explained: "This is the measurement scale defined by the lord. One degree of lightning can raise the temperature of 700 kilograms of water by two tyres."

The water temperature in this world has a unit of measurement called tyr, which is about two tyrs per degree.

The queen estimated it a little and was shocked in her heart: "This power is really amazing!"

Rosen thought to himself: "Of course it's amazing. They even built a rune thermal power plant as a supporting facility."

Five minutes passed, the warm-up was complete, and Cavendish issued the final order: "Activate the magic ring."

"Buzz~~"

The 120-meter-diameter Dharma Ring emitted a dull but magnificent vibration.

Immediately afterwards, in the center of the French Ring, 30 tons of clean water slowly floated up and automatically converged into a nearly perfect sphere in the air, and then stably stopped at a height of about 20 meters.

There is no support underneath the water ball, and the water ball itself is not attached to any lightning, wind or any other perceptible force.

It just floated in the air, motionless, as if it were the most perfect crystal in the world.

Just then, a ray of golden sunlight penetrated the clouds in the sky and shone on the crystal water ball, instantly reflecting brilliant colorful light.

At this moment, it seemed as if the Creator was crowning the wisdom of mortals.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and watched solemnly.

Rosen was secretly shocked: "This has completely surpassed my previous life."

With this technology as the foundation, countless incredible magical creations will emerge.

About ten minutes later, the power of the Ring of Truth was exhausted, and the perfect water ball fell back into the bucket with a "splash", instantly waking everyone up.

Rosen smiled and said, "Master Cavendish, if one day a mortal on earth can be promoted to a god in heaven, then one of the hands that is lifted up will belong to you."

Cavendish had tears in his eyes: "Lord, I am standing on your hand."

Rosen patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Young people, I clearly see the results of your hard work."

“I will say that what you have accomplished is truly astonishing.”

"Today may be a very important time point in the history of the human race."

"Ten million years from now, our descendants may mark today as a dividing line."

"Looking back from today, we are mortals, but looking back from today, it is the beginning of mortals becoming gods!"

"So, focus on moving forward on the path of magic, young men. Leave the rest to me!"

"Crash~~"

The young mages immediately cheered enthusiastically.

Everyone's heart was filled with burning flames, so the applause lasted for a long time.

After Rosen gave some gentle encouragement, he took the queen away from Cavendish Laboratory.

On the way back, there was a long silence. The queen, who was lying on the leather chair in the back seat of the car, suddenly said, "Even if the pure force conversion efficiency is 0.5%, it is still not very useful."

"Besides, this thing is too complicated and too big."

Rosen smiled faintly: "Not now, but there will be in the future."

"Moreover, as we achieve our goals, our understanding of the world will gradually get closer to its essence."

In fact, it can already have a practical effect now.

As long as he publicizes the matter of the Ring of Truth, he will surely attract a large number of idealistic research mages to join the White Sturgeon Island.

Most people in this world put their own interests first, but there is another type of people who are romantic idealists.

The former allows the human race to survive, but the latter will make the human race extraordinary!

The queen was silent again.

After a long time, she suddenly turned to look at Rosen, whispered in her heart, and said something shocking very seriously.

"If the Baron can conquer Kao, with Kao's manpower and resources, I'm afraid he can expand the Ring of Truth tenfold."
