Medasilin, the Palace That Never Sleeps.

Queen Zoya was concentrating on reading the important documents submitted by the Central Secretariat.

'The strength of the elves in the Dragon Islands has increased significantly, and they are constantly conducting probing attacks. The difficulty of defense has increased significantly. We are requesting assistance.'

The following is the details of the battle in the archipelago.

In the past three months, there have been two large-scale naval battles, 13 small and medium-sized naval battles, and six elves' sneak attacks on islands.

The Glorious Legion had 2,282 soldiers killed, including a major general, two colonels, and 18 middle and low-level officers.

Two large battleships, eight medium battleships, and 25 small battleships were destroyed, and 67 aircraft were shot down.

In contrast, the Elf Army lost 54 sea dragons, 56 flying dragons, and 6,521 warriors, and lost a large Black Rock mining island.

At first glance, the Glorious Legion had the upper hand and the gains seemed considerable, but the losses were greatly increased.

"The spy said that the elves have the Tree of Life. As long as the soul is immortal, the fallen soldiers can be reborn through the Tree of Life, so the casualties must be far less than the battle reports."

The soldiers of the Glorious Empire are truly dead when they die, and the damaged aircraft and warships are also valuable treasures.

And judging from the current trend, the Elf Legion will certainly continue to increase its troops.

"The loss is too great. If this continues, the risk of ruling Dragon Island will increase significantly, and the cost of mining will also increase significantly."

"I also need to increase my troops and firepower to try to destroy the soul of the elf warrior."

As long as the elf's body, especially the head, is smashed, the elf's soul will naturally be shattered and there will be no reincarnation.

After reading the battle report, Zhuoya looked at the domestic situation.

'The main road of the Lightning Network has been built, and the 20th large-scale Blackstone power plant has been successfully connected to the network.'

'Currently, 500,000 sen of electricity can be generated every day, and the cost of generating one sen is 10 drachmas.'

10 Dra is equivalent to 15 Clay in the Natural Empire, which is a bit high.

Because as far as Zhuoya knew, the market price of lightning in the Natural Empire was 4 clesen, which meant that the other party's power generation cost was less than one-fifth of hers.

"It will always be difficult at the beginning. Once the number of Blackstone power plants increases and the technology matures, the cost of power generation will naturally decrease gradually."

Zhuoya thought secretly and continued reading.

"The Natural Empire is willing to sell lightning at a price of 1 centara per centara, and the supply is unlimited."

Zhuo Ya was a little confused: "The domestic electricity price is 4 kle, but it only costs 1.5 kle to sell it to me. Is this a trade war to squeeze out my Blackstone Power Plant?"

The price the other party offered was so cheap, it was almost like giving it away for free.

And because of the existence of various conversion arrays, if the power of lightning is sufficient, it means that the power of various spells is also sufficient.

For example, the most important arcane energy at present can be converted on a large scale through lightning.

Therefore, as electricity prices drop, the production costs of large-scale deformation manufacturing plants and large flour mills will be greatly reduced.

Since the other party is willing to give electricity for free, Zhuoya is naturally willing to accept it.

"Hehe, whatever you give me, I'll take. Who would complain about having too much power?"

She felt that Lawson must have provided subsidies to domestic power plants, otherwise the electricity price would not be so cheap.

In a sense, the essence of what the other party did was to give her money.

"Since lightning power is so cheap, I will develop various factories that use electricity. I want to see how long you can keep delivering it."

Zhuoya thought so and did so.

She decisively ordered the construction of three large shipyards specifically for building warships.

Thinking about it, it feels not enough.

Large flour mills, large tank manufacturing plants, large weapons manufacturing plants, and so on were built. There were more than fifty factories of various types that could enhance war power.

The purpose is to take advantage of the Natural Empire.

Of course, we must also build our own Blackstone power plants, and as many as possible.

Otherwise, if so much lightning power had to be provided by the Natural Empire, the Glorious Empire would have no autonomy at all.

Then she continued to look down at the document.

'The Natural Empire announced that the Heart of the Ocean Project was a complete success and will build large-scale ocean power plants across the country to gradually replace the current Black Stone Power Plant.'

Zhuo Ya couldn't help but frown, because she still didn't understand what this "Heart of the Ocean" was.

The mages in the magic department have been studying how to 'boil water'.

After more than a year of research, some discoveries have been made, but a way to use seawater to generate electricity on a large scale has not been found.

"How on earth did this guy do this?"

She was extremely curious and wanted to ask Rosen, but she hadn't finished her current government affairs, so she could only endure it.

She waited until the evening and had some free time. She immediately said to the Rosen puppet in the cubicle, "Sleep with me tonight."

After a while, I got a reply: "Not tonight, I have already made an appointment with someone tonight, how about the night after tomorrow?"

As soon as Zhuo Ya heard this, she knew that this guy's appointment was scheduled for two days later. She felt a little resentful: "You are such a busy man."

Rosen immediately said, "How about this, I'll come over in the middle of the night?"

Zhuoya thought about it and realized that she still had a lot of government affairs to deal with in the first half of the night, so the second half of the night was just right, so she agreed: "Okay, but you have to take a good bath and don't bring the other girls' perfume."

"Don't worry, I won't."

I waited patiently until the second half of the night, and as expected, Rosen arrived on time.

After a good intimate moment as usual, Zhuo Ya asked, "Can we tell you now, what exactly is the Heart of the Ocean?"

Rosen chuckled and changed the subject: "How about I ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs to hand you the marriage certificate?"

Zhuoya was a little dissatisfied: "Can't you tell me yet?"

This time, Rosen kept his mouth shut: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is very sensitive."

"You are too close to the elves here. There are many elf spies in the territory. I am worried that the matter will be leaked."

Seeing that Zhuoya was still pouting subconsciously, Rosen considered it for a moment and gave her some sweetness: "Dear, I will provide you with an unlimited supply of 10,000 Rosen capacity endless crystals, okay?"

The war in the Dragon Islands has been quite intense recently, and many soldiers of the Glorious Empire have died. Naturally, he wants to express his condolences.

In fact, this is called the "Shield Plan", which is to try to strengthen the shield and delay enough development time for the Natural Empire.

Zhuo Ya was stunned when she heard this: "You are willing to give even such a good thing, is the Heart of the Ocean really that important?"

Rosen shrugged. "It's not entirely because the Heart of the Ocean is so important. After all, we are allies."

He added: "By the way, if you need it, our country can also help you build warships, tanks, airplanes, and rapid-fire artillery. All are at cost price. We can provide as many as you want."

"If you don't have enough food or small commodities in your country, tell me and I will supply them to you at the lowest cost price."

"Anyway, don't worry about anything, just focus on fighting the elves."

Zhuo Ya was even more surprised when she heard this: "Why are you so generous all of a sudden?"

Even though she knew that Rosen used the Glorious Empire as a shield to resist the elves, the support was too great. Wasn't he afraid of draining his own wealth?

Rosen smiled and said, "Facing the returning Lord of Truth, the fate of our two countries is one."

"The Glorious Empire is fighting the elves on the front line, so of course my Natural Empire cannot just sit there and watch."

"If it really comes to a critical point, my Natural Empire's warships, planes, and artillery will definitely rush over to help."

"Well, I am really relieved by your words. Although I know I shouldn't ask, I still want to know the secret of the Heart of the Ocean, even if it's just a superficial secret."

She clearly felt that there must be something incredibly amazing hidden in the Heart of the Ocean, and it must be something good enough to change the world.

She was very curious and wanted to know what it was.

Seeing her persistence, Rosen couldn't help but shrugged: "What a curious girl."

He thought for a moment and said, "I will send someone to Medasilin to submit the marriage certificate immediately. If the marriage is established, I will give you a little hint."

It's just a small hint. Zhuoya has to guess the real secret herself.

"good!"

Zhuoya has long wanted to make their current relationship public to avoid being secretive all day long.
