"Buzz~~~Shh~~~"

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

Phase shifting requires extremely high soul strength, with a minimum of seven rings to start with, and one must rest after performing it once.

With Rosen's current soul strength, he can perform a phase shift approximately once every 8 days.

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

The greater the mass transferred, the more energy, and the greater the distance, the more mana and soul gems are consumed.

Rosenben was heavy and carried more than 70 dim mana gems with him, with a total weight of more than 130 kilograms.

When he arrived at the destination, 80% of his mana had been consumed, and 8 soul gems had been consumed.

If all the mana gems are full, the mana consumption will 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, but a special phase lock was also set up.

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 mean that phase transfer is difficult to use for large-scale transportation of materials.

But that doesn’t mean it’s useless, it’s still very useful.

Because it can be used to convey information.

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

This was the trick he used to deceive Irene.

Back to the 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 Levender. He used the carefully crafted blood puppet to replace the real Queen of Levender.

The international situation of the Natural Alliance has been relatively stable recently, and Rosen has no plans to cause trouble for the time being. He will focus on developing Weilan and practicing his inner strength.

As for him personally, he has always had a plan, which is to go to the Republic of Nahuat to learn from others.

Not only does it teach you how to fight against demons, but it also teaches you how to gain legendary knowledge.

Although the succubus Mediana obtained a lot of legendary knowledge from the guardian archmage Naya, a little thought will show that this knowledge is definitely not the best.

Rosen especially wanted to learn the experience of practicing legendary magic, so he wanted to know what the upper limit of the soul strength of a legendary magician was. In theory, he could set off at any time, but as a lord, he had to consider many things.

Although he admired the Republic of Nahuatl, he did not deify it.

As long as it is a country composed of mortals, there will inevitably be various conflicts of interest.

If you want to get really good things in Nahuat, you can't rely on feelings, you must exchange them for real benefits.

But money can move people's hearts.

And you are in someone else's dimension. If you take valuable things there but don't have enough self-protection ability, your own life safety will be difficult to guarantee.

Therefore, you must not only bring enough good things, but also be prepared to have enough ability to protect yourself.

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

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

The study of magic is extremely boring, especially since it requires confidentiality. There is not even anyone to share and discuss it with, so Rosen appears mysterious and often appears and disappears.

Fortunately, he still had a nearly perfect puppet substitute, so not many people noticed his abnormality.

Time passed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

On this day, Duke Rosen sat in his study room somewhat bored, closing his eyes and dozing off. He seemed to be taking a rest, but in fact he was freeing up more computing power for the main body.

Over the past two months, the subject has had both gains and losses in terms of techniques.

The gains in natural faith were enormous, and the supply of power of faith increased greatly, almost reaching one-third of the Soul-Burning Secret Technique.

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

However, there were many bottlenecks in the research of mana gems, and the progress was very slow.

"Knock knock knock~~"

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

"Come in."

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

Even though it’s only 5%, it’s already far faster than the processing speed of an average human brain.

Kluber came in, holding a thick file.

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

His work ability is unquestionable and he helped Rosen a lot.

Rosen naturally raised his personal treatment further.

"Sit down, Kruber."

This lakeside study has undergone some modifications, with the addition of chairs and two assistant attendants, and is specifically used to entertain important officials of the principality.

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

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

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

After you finish reading, the statistical results will be synchronized.

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

The items for sale include the Magic Circle Scale, Blackstone Electric Car, Lightning Messenger, a large number of miscellaneous civilian magic tools, the share of overseas flour factories, and a variety of high-end magic materials.

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

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

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

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

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

The Mint's printing presses were running 24 hours a day and were smoking.

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

Although the banknotes were scattered among the people of Weilan, the government was seriously short of money.

If the government has no money, it will not be able to accomplish big things.

Where are the expenses spent? First, the factory areas in Ruhr County and Hongyuan County. Second, the construction of the new capital of Weilan.

Especially the latter one, it is simply a gold-eating beast.

Although the construction method adopted was "private-driven, government-planned subsidies", these plans were too advanced, so the subsidies were also very high, otherwise no one would be willing to take the job.

Of course, although the money is spent heavily, it is not just for fun.

It is also a kind of investment. After the capital is built, the various construction teams trained can be used all over Weilan.

Putting the document back on the table, Rosen asked, "How is the discussion on increasing the currency anchor going?"

This is of utmost importance. Kruber immediately straightened his back 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 anchoring ratio? Second, food production is unstable, so should we use conservative calculations or optimistic estimates?"

These are the details.

Rosen asked, "How much more banknotes do you think can be printed based on the most conservative calculations?"

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

"After a few years, when food production increases significantly, we estimate that we can print an additional 100 million Ogers."

One hundred million Ogers is equivalent to 150 billion Clay banknotes, which is more than enough for this wave of expenses.

Once the country is built and the factory areas are completed, consumption will be greatly reduced and it can be maintained by relying on foreign trade and various taxes.

Rosen is not worried about inflation either.

The reason for inflation is that there is more money than goods, so money becomes less valuable.

Now that he is issuing paper money based on grain production, at least this money can be used to buy grain.

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

"Once we have reached a consensus, I will issue a Duke's decree to conduct an experimental issuance of additional banknotes."

"Yes, lord."

Then he shared another piece of news: "Lord, after the Magic Conference, the net influx of Weilan's population reached 6 million, 30% of whom are highly qualified magicians."

Rosen was very happy: "That's great, but there will definitely be conflicts between the local population and the outsiders, and various social competitions will become more intense due to the increase in population."

"If too many come too fast, set some thresholds to control the speed of the influx."

Currently, Weilan has a large number of vacancies and needs talents to fill them, so it is not a problem at the moment, but population mobility will form an inertial effect, and problems will arise over time.

"Yes, lord."

Kluber retreated.

As soon as he left, Stoner from the CIA arrived, also bringing a large stack of documents containing the latest international news.

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

He clicked on one of the messages and asked, "How long do you think it will take for the Lion King to take action against the Levender people?"

Stonard naturally understood what this meant.

He whispered:

“It will probably take one to two years.”

"Because he was very secretive and the sheep weren't fat enough."

“So he put a lot of laws as a fog to attract more Levinder merchants to invest in the country so that he can reap more assets in the future.”

Rosen smiled faintly: "Then let him do it, we will watch him do it first."

"We don't care?"

"Of course we need to manage it, but we need to do it at the right time."

If this matter of the Lion King had happened in the past, it would have been done and Levinder could only curse a few words and then impose equal punishment on the Aaron merchants in the country.

But things are different now.

In the past, Aaron had nobles as a buffer. When the king did something bad, he could find a way to push the blame onto the nobles and find an unlucky person to take the blame, while he himself was still a good king who was innocently deceived.

But now, the more evil things the lion king does, the more bad reputation he must bear! If he carries too much bad reputation, his crown will break.

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

Stonard understood immediately: "I see."

"Very good, you continue to pay close attention. I will be ready on my side."

Not long after Stonard left, another person came.

But it was Master Cavendish who was buried in the laboratory and was rarely seen except to ask for funding.

Cavendish is indeed a talented person. He has a sharp mind and a great talent for magic. He has even been promoted to the fifth ring.

"Sit down, Master Cavendish."

Cavendish 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:

"Your Excellency, guess what this is?"

Rosen was happy to see him like this, because it meant he had made another breakthrough.

Considering the recent news, he guessed, "Has the high-energy unification phenomenon of various forces been verified?"

Cavendish chuckled: "That's right!"

He let go of her hand, his eyes glowing brightly.

"Your Excellency the Duke, your idea is correct. The mutual transformation of various powers only requires the simplest requirement, which is the strength of power!"

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

"Because the transformation of base power requires low strength, it is easy to observe in daily life. However, the transformation of noble power requires high strength, so it is not easy to observe in daily life."

"But if we create high power intensities in the laboratory, we can clearly observe the transformation of power. We have already clearly observed the phenomenon of lightning power transforming into mana!"

Rosen was delighted to hear this, and immediately allocated 10% of the computing power to the clone, then picked up the booklet and took 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 Force".

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

The booklet is very thin, only about fifty pages.

Rosen checked it out by doing mental calculations as he watched.

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

"I have an idea, what do you think?"

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

Cavendish knew that the Duke had strong mathematical abilities and did not dare to underestimate him. He immediately looked at the paper carefully after receiving it.

With just one look, he knew this was better.

It is 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 sneak a peek at the Creator's creation manual, did you?"

Rosen smiled: "Even if it was a peek, we were peeking together."

He raised his hand and gently patted the documents on the table: "You basically did all the work, so I won't take any advantage of it."

"Let's call this formula the Cavendish Power Unification Formula."

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

Cavendish was touched, but knowing the Duke's character, he said no more.

He continued: "The new Truth Ring has been built. It is larger and better than the White Sturgeon Island and can achieve a stronger high-energy environment."

"According to 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% so far."

This is three times higher than the previous 0.5%, and is one step closer to practical application.

Rosen smiled and said: "If we can reach 10%, it will be almost ready for application."

"What applications do you think it will have?"

Master Cavendish immediately said, "That has many applications."

"You can use force to restrain 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 you can't miniaturize it, just build a big thing and float it in the sky."

"This big thing can carry cargo and serve as a cargo ship in the sky. If needed, it can even be used as a super bomb and dropped from the sky!"

"Also, we can create super shells and use pure force to accurately throw them at ultra-long distances."

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

Rosen listened carefully and had an idea in mind.

In other words, it is a super version of the first application that 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 is really done, the power will be endless, and the subsequent applications can be easily realized.

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

So he smiled and said, “Very good!”

'Swish swish swish' wrote an appropriation order.

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

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

Cavendish was waiting for this sentence. He chuckled and left happily with the order.

Rosen looked at his back and sighed in his heart: "It costs more to support a magician than a woman."

After becoming the Duke, he has invested another 3 million Ogg in the Cavendish Laboratory.

But the investment is worth it.

Looking at the newly acquired formula for unifying power, he felt happier than Cavendish.

"What a great thing! It really is a great thing! It helped me solve a big problem right away."
