Inquiring into international affairs is the job of the Island Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and this is a large market with nearly 500 million people in the alliance, so it will not be possible to investigate it in a day or two.

Therefore, after issuing the task to Stonard, Rosen could only wait patiently for the result.

Of course, it's not just waiting.

Weilan has a lot going on right now.

The various foundations laid in the early stages are now officially on track.

Build a new capital and create a new urban model.

Establish higher and basic magic schools to train talents in magic.

Building industrial zones provides new jobs and earns foreign currency.

Build shipyards to build warships, build aircraft factories to build various aircraft and improve armaments.

Finally, a huge amount of funds for magic research must be allocated to various magic laboratories.

And so on and so forth.

The compensation that had just been received immediately flowed out like a flood.

Of course, what flowed out was not gold or silver, but paper money.

Time flies by in the busy life.

Early the next morning, Rosen went to find Mediana first.

He wanted to see how traveling mages traveled through planes.

Mediana had already gotten up, changed into a tight combat leather armor, and prepared a series of luggage, looking ready to go.

After seeing Rosen, she smiled and said, "Lord, you have come at the right time. I am just waiting for your Soul Diamond."

Rosen was naturally ready.

He didn't give synthetic diamonds, because the quality of synthetic ones was too high and too consistent, and if the number was too large, it would be noticeable.

He was also planning to synthesize rare materials and make money in various planes of the world. For the time being, he didn't want to spread the knowledge of the basic element table in various planes.

So, what he gave away were various natural gems that he had searched out from the homes of great nobles, about 30 in total.

"The quality of this batch is a little worse, but fortunately the quantity is sufficient."

Mediana looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction: "This is already very good."

After saying that, she walked to the middle of the basement, where a very complicated magic circle had appeared on the ground.

She placed the Soul Gems one by one on the hub of the magic circle, a total of 8, and she stood in the middle of the magic circle with the package on her back.

"Duke, I am about to activate a plane transfer array."

"This magic circle needs a power called phase force to drive it. I know you must be very curious about phase force, so I wrote it down for you and put it on the desk."

Rosen had already seen the booklet, which was forty or fifty pages long and had a name: "The Power of the Planeswalker."

Mediana's voice continued: "Duke, you must study hard. If I get into trouble one day, I still count on you to save me."

Rosen nodded: "I will study hard."

One more skill means one more way. Just in case, he meant just in case, he can't make it in this dimension, he can still use this new knowledge and run away.

Mediana continued, "The magic circle alone is not enough. We also need to set up conversion beacons at the destination to guide the transfer."

"Otherwise, the location after transfer will be random, and may even appear in a deadly environment."

Rosen nodded in understanding: "What about the first transfer? Relying on luck?"

"There are adventurous planeswalkers who rely on luck, but these planeswalkers usually don't live long and will die for various inexplicable reasons."

"Another method is to look for some naturally occurring landmarks. I have already given the relevant methods in the book. The Duke can practice it on his own."

"After the first successful transfer, you will need to manually set the transfer beacon. This is also the basic homework of a traveling mage. I have also written down the specific method in the book."

Rosen thought it was great: "Where are you going?"

"I was originally planning to go to the Atumen Realm, but the Lord must now need the legendary knowledge to break through the eleven rings."

"So, I will go to the mortal world guarded by the legendary wizard Naya and seek relevant knowledge from this legendary wizard."

As she spoke, the crystal-red soul gems in the magic circle gradually lit up, the light inside the magic circle began to distort, and Mediana's voice continued to be heard.

"Naya is a great and legendary wizard. She has thwarted the invasion plots of the great demon three times, and even severely injured a great demon the last time."

"She is also a very kind, wise and open-minded mage. I believe that after hearing about your situation, she will be very willing to teach you the relevant knowledge."

"But her status is also very high, and it is not easy to see her, so I am not sure how long it will take me to succeed, it may be three or four months, or it may be several years."

"In short, it depends on luck."

Following these words, the distortion of the light inside the magic circle instantly intensified, followed by another violent flash. When the light dimmed, Mediana disappeared.

When Rosen looked at the ground again, he found that the soul diamonds had turned into a pile of white powder.

He walked forward and carefully examined the powder composition.

It was discovered that the element had not changed, it was still titanium oxide, but the original wonderful magical properties that interacted with the magic ring had disappeared.

It's a bit like a magnet being demagnetized.

If you want to use it again, you have to synthesize it again, which is equivalent to re-magnetizing the magnet.

After observing the planeswalker's operation closely, he roughly understood it.

This plane transfer array is a means of traveling across planes with the help of a magic ring.

At present, Rosen is not sure whether other planes are in the same universe as his own plane, but one thing is certain: all planes must share the same magic ring.

The Circle is like a bond, and the planes are the pearls strung on the bond.

Because of this, the speed of time flow in each plane of the world should be consistent.

He carefully collected the titanium oxide on the ground and prepared to reuse it.

'I'll create some flaws when synthesizing, and then say I found a new batch of Soul Gems, hehe.'

After coming out of the basement, Rosen went straight to Bell Labs.

The mages at Bell Labs have excelled in transfiguration alchemy and lightning alchemy, and have gained a very in-depth understanding of the basic elements. They have now filled in two-thirds of the spaces in the periodic table.

There is a food shortage on the giant island of Weilan now. In the long run, the entire continent of Witt will also suffer from a food shortage.

If the former is short of food, they can still buy it from the Wit Continent. If the latter is short of food, they can only find ways to increase food production.

There are traditional agricultural methods to increase yields, such as breeding high-quality seeds and improving planting techniques.

First find Bale, who looks dull but talented.

"How do you feel about the new transformation array?"

Bell is currently conducting research on this, and although the time is short, he has already reached preliminary conclusions because of his detailed knowledge.

"It is indeed possible to convert light power into Aoli. The efficiency is indeed very low, but I can feel that there is a lot of potential for improvement."

"I estimate that by optimizing the performance of the array materials and optimizing the array structure itself, the conversion efficiency can be increased to more than 10%."

"That sounds great. I asked you to research the elemental components of various basic food elements. Have you got any results?"

The name of food elements was given by Lawson, and to be precise, they are starch, protein and fat.

"It has been there for a long time."

Bell smiled dully: "For example, the most important thing, flour, has a very simple structure."

"It is composed of three basic elements, namely, dephlogisticated water, phlogistic and charcoal, or in other words, a fusion of charcoal and water."

Rosen smiled when he heard this: "So, by combining the transformation array with the food making technique, we can achieve large-scale flour production, right?"

Bell nodded excitedly: "That's right."

But hesitation immediately showed on his face.

“There are two directions to this.”

"One is to use charcoal to melt water. The other is to use various wood or grass stems to crack them."

"The former is difficult to control, and the final product will always have some inexplicable and difficult-to-overcome toxicity."

As soon as Rosen heard it, he understood the source of the toxicity, which was most likely caused by the chirality of the molecule.

With today's chemical capabilities, it is difficult to distinguish chirality, and we must conduct in-depth research on the molecular structure.

"The product of the latter method is not poisonous and can be eaten, but the final product tastes very rough and difficult to swallow."

Rosen smiled and said, "This is mainly due to the low level of food making skills. It can be overcome."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since the latter is already available, you should organize the relevant information on the techniques, set up a team specifically to improve the taste, and come up with a usable finished product as soon as possible."

Finally, a reminder: "This matter is very important, hurry up."

"Yes, lord."

As for improving the efficiency of magic circle conversion, Cavendish is naturally the expert.

After he found Cavendish, the other party gave a direct conclusion.

"This array is not yet mature. After integrating our latest research results, the conversion efficiency should be able to reach a maximum of 30%."

That's much better than Bell's estimate of 10%.

“How long will it take to achieve this?”

“One month at most. After all, it’s just an improvement, not something created out of thin air.”

"very good."

So, we have the Oli conversion array and the corresponding food-making spell. Although they are still very crude and have a lot of room for improvement, we can already build a magic factory that can produce flour on a large scale.

This flour factory did not come out of nothing, but was the result of a transformation of matter and energy.

Therefore, the ideal of endless food is impossible to achieve, after all, energy and materials will limit production.

However, it can convert cellulose, which most animals cannot use, into edible starch.

Cellulose is abundant in nature.

Apart from anything else, this has greatly increased the output of farmland.

In the past, when growing wheat, only the grains were eaten, but now the wheat straw can also be turned into flour, and the weight of the grains and straw is roughly one to one.

In other words, the wheat yield per mu has doubled.

Furthermore, not only wheat straw can be turned into flour, but weeds, leaves, firewood, etc. can also be turned into flour.

If the taste is really bad, it can be made into livestock feed and used to grow meat, and the taste will be better.

Moreover, technology is constantly developing. Once the technology is fully mature, perhaps artificial food will be able to completely replace farmland output. Then food production will no longer depend on the weather.

After coming out of Cavendish Laboratory, Rosen felt much more relaxed and went to find Kruber again.

"The Magic Center has developed a new magic that can make large quantities of flour from wood. We need the cabinet to approve a grant to build the first Weilan flour mill."

Kluber was stunned: "Lord, is this true?"

If we make flour from wood, the flour from that big tree can feed a family for a long time.

"Really, but the specific details of the technique are kept secret for now. Only you know it."

"Tell the public that it is a new large-scale flour processing plant that can improve flour production efficiency, but never mention the detail of converting wood into flour."

Large-scale food production has always been a hot topic in the Natural Alliance. If it were to be spread out, it would definitely cause a huge shock.

Rosen's political sensitivity told him that this matter could be used as a trump card.

Therefore, he decided to keep a low profile first, and then announce the news publicly when necessary.

Kluber was also extremely shrewd and immediately understood Rosen's meaning.

"Lord, how much does that cost?"

"It will probably require an investment of 100,000 Ogg."

Kluber continued to ask: "What was the output that year?"

"It is currently estimated that the output can reach 100,000 tons. Once it is fully mature, we can expand the output. It won't be difficult to increase it by a hundred times."

Kruber nodded repeatedly, turned around and went to the cabinet to get money.

Since it was about food, everyone knew its importance, so the money arrived quickly.

Rosen took the money and personally supervised the construction of the first magical flour processing factory in the Natural Alliance.

A month passed quickly in the busy schedule.

The results of Stonard's investigation have finally arrived.
