The lakeside study at Swan Castle.

"Your Majesty, the Sandu Railway will be officially opened to traffic the day after tomorrow. You will be required to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow. The schedule is scheduled for 9 a.m. tomorrow."

The so-called Sandu Railway refers to the railway that starts from Aaron Rhine City, passes through Kao Silvermoon City, and then goes to Lewende's Platinum City.

This was the first railway on the continent, with a total length of 1,800 kilometers, double tracks, and a total cost of 120 billion cle.

It not only passes through three capitals, but also passes through seven major cities and 17 small towns, forming a major transportation artery in the southeast direction.

Rosen nodded to his schedule secretary: "Then let's go to Aaron later."

How to get there? Of course, you take the Emperor's special transport plane, which will take you to Rhine City in two hours.

This world doesn't worry too much about plane crashes, because mages can fly and won't die easily from falling.

The itinerary secretary was none other than Alice.

Now she is nineteen years old, her figure has grown completely, and the purity of a girl and the charm of a young woman are mixed together, making her as tempting as a plump and juicy peach.

Of course, during working hours, she is very serious and responsible.

Then she added, "Tomorrow morning at 10:30, the first Apocalypse Chariot of the Aaron Lion Military Factory needs your war blessing."

"Apocalypse Chariot. What is that?"

Rosen only knew that this thing was a rune tank, but he couldn't remember its specific appearance for the moment.

There is no way. The emperor has so many affairs to attend to that if he does not call upon the Lai Fu database, he will often fall into a state of semi-amnesia.

This situation has occurred before, but not as serious as it is now.

One of the biggest reasons is that he invested most of his computing power in the witch spell book.

'Brush~~'

Alice placed a picture album next to Rosen: "The Apocalypse Chariot, full name 'Special Lightning Chariot', will be the main combat weapon of the army."

"30 meters long, 8 meters high, 8 meters wide, weighing 150 tons, with a body made of rune steel and track wheels made of hardened krypton gold."

"In terms of power, it uses phlogiston pure water batteries as energy, and is directly driven by six super motors, with a peak power of 4,200 horsepower and a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour."

"As for weapons, it is equipped with a 155mm Vulcan cannon, two omnidirectional anti-aircraft destruction lights, and four high-powered metal storms."

"Finally, the car body is equipped with a ghost invisibility array, a water floating array, and a cage-type cockpit with a legendary 8 defense strength."

Rosen remembered this thing, which was the product of a sudden inspiration.

After that, he opened a tank research institute and invested some money.

Then, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, in an era with airplanes and warships, tanks did have a role, but it was not particularly strong.

But I didn’t expect that these engineering wizards could actually create a chariot, and create such a crazy thing.

If this kind of thing appeared on the battlefield and was clustered into a large scale, it would definitely be able to push back the Earth Dragon Legion of the Holy Elf Empire head-on.

Looking at the ferocious appearance of the Apocalypse Chariot and the weapons that exude a creepy aura, Rosen really likes it and praises it: "Not bad~~ Very good~~"

The royal clerk beside him immediately wrote down his words: "His Majesty the Emperor saw the Apocalypse Chariot and praised it."

When Rosen saw this, he immediately realized that he had spoken too much again.

Every word of the emperor was watched, and every attitude was pondered.

Now that he has given a compliment, the difficulty for the Tank Research Institute in seeking financial support will be reduced many times.

He secretly warned himself: 'I have to watch my mouth.'

Alice added: "The Ring of Truth led by Master Cavendish has once again reached a new milestone in the efficiency of converting pure energy."

"Today, we have achieved a conversion rate of up to 8% and have achieved a breakthrough in 'self-sustainability'."

"The laboratory will demonstrate this achievement to Your Majesty at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Then the new force energy ring will be installed on the heavy object to be lifted, and it will be suspended into the sky together with the heavy object weighing up to 100 tons."

Rosen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Very good, it has become practical, but what are the shortcomings at present?"

“The biggest weakness is the source of strength.”

"According to the data provided by Cavendish Lab, the Force Energy Ring requires a huge amount of power to work. Although burning black stone can provide enough power, it is difficult to sustain it for a long time."

"Hmm~~~ Black Stone is definitely not enough for this thing to consume."

Rosen took the relevant information handed over by Alice and looked carefully at the data of the latest Ring of Truth. At the same time, the main body called on part of Lai Fu's computing power to help.

After careful calculations, it was discovered that the effectiveness of the new force energy ring seemed to be somewhat close to the threshold of nuclear fusion.

On Earth, the effect of controlled nuclear fusion using magnetic confinement is far inferior to that of pure force confinement.

As long as the efficiency of the latest force energy ring is improved a little bit, and the upper limit of its strength is increased a little bit, it can be used to create a force energy constraint ring, achieve controlled nuclear fusion, and thus obtain an extremely powerful source of power.

'If we can achieve controlled nuclear fusion, combined with a self-sustaining power ring, we can build an aerospace mothership that is difficult to achieve on Earth, or even a fluid-free spacecraft!'

Interstellar travel would then immediately become possible, and with far greater efficiency than Earth's chemical rocket ships.

Rosen felt his heartbeat speed up slightly, and then he praised loudly

"The results are absolutely wonderful! It's a miracle! The money was well spent!"

The clerk immediately wrote down the emperor's words faithfully: "Your Majesty saw the Ring of Power and praised it highly, calling it a miracle."

Alice reminded quietly: "Your Majesty, the Cavendish Laboratory has received a total investment of approximately 60 million Oggs, which has caused other laboratories to feel a little unbalanced."

60 million Oggs is equivalent to 90 billion Clays, which really makes many mages envious.

Rosen smiled and said, "It's worth it. I have a feeling that once the research results of Cavendish Laboratory are put into practical use, they will completely change the world."

Naturally, this sentence was also faithfully recorded by the clerk in the Emperor's Quotations.

But in the underground laboratory, Rosen's real body didn't have time to exert this much energy.

He slapped the lab table hard and uttered a curse in Chinese.

"Damn it, I knew this witch had bad intentions!"

Why?

Because the spell book she gave, "Hat of the Legendary Archmage", is a real thing, but it has loopholes, and there are quite a few of them.

This is a soul-assisting artifact.

The effect is simple and crude, which is to increase the mage's 'basic' soul strength, and can achieve soul legendary strength +2.

Note that this is a basic attribute.

After the upgrade, the mana generated by the soul can continue to enjoy the various amplification effects of other legendary magic weapons.

For example, after Rosen puts on this hat, his basic soul strength can be increased from the current Legend 3 to Legend 5, then he will be a Legend 5 mage.

The legendary crystal's focusing effect on his mana will become +5, and with the overlapping wave focus spell, it will increase to legendary +15.3.

The effect is amazing.

However, the structure of this thing is extremely complex and complicated, and the principles are unclear and difficult to understand.

If an ordinary weapon refiner simply imitates and creates a legendary hat, he can also create a usable one.

But Rosen has obsessive-compulsive disorder and he has to understand it thoroughly.

The difficulty is really high, mainly because the amount of calculation is astonishingly high.

If Rosen had to rely on himself, it would probably take him a thousand years to figure it out, but after borrowing Lai Fu's super computing power, he saved a lot of time.

After fully understanding it, he found at least 3 major loopholes, 18 medium loopholes, and 23 minor loopholes.

'This has more loopholes than the window system on Earth.'

What to do? Of course, block it.

Because this magic weapon is directly connected to the wizard's soul.

Once someone exploits this loophole, they can silently enter the soul and do bad things, causing the person to fall into a coma at the mildest, or turn the person into a puppet at the worst.

Rosen was certain that this 'witch' was definitely planning to exploit the loophole to control him.

But magical instruments are indeed good things.

So he started plugging the loopholes one by one.

After plugging it, he still felt uneasy, so he tested it over and over again. After finally confirming that there was no problem, he began to design his own legendary wizard hat.

Once you understand the principle and have ready-made creations to use as reference, designing is naturally not difficult.

It was quickly finalized and eventually achieved the effect of basic soul strength +3.

In other words, with the hat on, he is a legendary 6 mage.

Then, the normal focus effect becomes Legendary +7, and the stacked wave focus can reach Legendary 16.2, almost catching up with the Witch's Legendary 17.

While creating it, many ideas came to his mind.

'I can feel that there is still a lot of potential for improvement on this path. ”

'If the witch is really a mortal, then she should also use this thing to enhance her soul strength. '

"Well, since she can mention Legend 17, I'm probably not too far behind."

'But I currently lack the corresponding knowledge, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get it in a short time.'

"Wearing a hat all day is not a big deal. You can't wear it 24 hours a day, right?"

"Hmm~ Got it, I'll shave my head and design a 'Legendary Archmage's Perfect Wig'."

This way you can carry it with you 24 hours a day without arousing suspicion.

There is no need to worry about hair growing out. With his current understanding of the human body, it is easy for him to control his scalp and prevent hair from growing.

About a month later, he successfully created the legendary wig.

Try wearing it on your head.

The moment I put it on, I felt my soul slightly shaken and it became noticeably stronger.

What surprised him most was that Lai Fu’s computing power also increased.

The improvement is quite significant, more than doubling!

“What a great stuff!”

As soon as he put on this legendary wig, Rosen knew he would probably never be able to take it off in his lifetime.

"In the future, we should not only work hard to improve this instrument, but also make more of them, so that they won't break and become useless."

Next, we need to prepare to meet this sinister "witch".

"Over the past six months, although I haven't fully understood the elf fruit, I have gained a thorough understanding of the bodies and souls of the lower-level elves."

"It just so happens that Lai Fu's computing power has increased greatly, so I will create a perfect substitute for the lower-level elves to deal with the witch."

"This witch's methods are extraordinary, and her true form must go with her."

"If a fight does break out, we'll all fight together."
