Chapter 1002 Time Competition

After a long time, Azima took a deep breath and pointed to Roland's desk, "There should be an equivalent piece in your drawer."

"Exactly," the other party showed a satisfied smile, and then placed another square box on the table, "But I am a little curious, why do you call it "equal" instead of "identical"? "

"Because...the two reactions are different. Although both are at the source level, the first one is more intense." Akima described the scene she saw.

"So can you find a third equal?"

"Please let me give it a try."

She immersed herself in her thoughts and felt the green light in her hand again - because the previous target was too close, she ignored other instructions. After concentrating her energy, Akima quickly found three other extension lines, which pointed east, west, and north respectively, which meant that there were at least three sources larger than the object in her hand. But what puzzled her was that although the indicator lines looked thick, they were actually composed of countless filaments with dim light.

After informing His Majesty of the feedback from the ability, the other party nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, you can't know how far it is until you get close to the source."

"yes."

"Then let's go east first, then north," Roland quickly made a decision. "It's too dangerous to enter the wilderness to the west. If you can't find the source by the seaside, it's not too late to turn north. "

Akima hesitated for a moment, then asked her doubts, "Your Majesty, is this thing... more valuable than gold?"

She is not a fighting witch, and her means of protecting herself are extremely limited. If this thing is really that valuable, once the news leaks out, and she cannot complete the mission, she may even lose her life on the road.

Probably seeing her worries, the young king smiled and said, "In fact, it is both precious and worthless - for people who don't understand it, it is just an ordinary stone with no ornamental value. It has no effect. But to me, its value is far greater than gold, and it is also the key to unlocking the Brilliant Radiation quest line."

Brilliant radiation? What's that? Akima found that she seemed to understand, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't understand anything.

"But considering the uncertainty of the journey, I naturally won't let you search alone." Roland pointed to a personal guard beside him, "His name is Sean, and he is your protector during this trip. In addition to In addition, there will also be an engineering team drawn from the First Army to go on the road with you. The first priority for this mission is to find the source, so if you need the cooperation and assistance of other territorial officials, you can ask Sean to go manage."

"You mean...let those lords do things for me?" Akima asked in surprise.

"Why not?" Roland shrugged. "They are no longer the masters of the land in the past. It is their duty to obey the orders of the central government." He paused slightly, "Since the search for the source may take a long time, The contract is relatively long, so 30% of the salary can be paid in advance, and the remainder will be paid out once a month. This is the entirety of the contract. So what's your answer?"

Akima thought for a while, "Your Majesty, can you send all these salaries to Doris?"

"In principle, there's no problem," the other party raised his eyebrows, "If that's what you want."

"Then I accept this job." She bowed and said, "I will be ready to go early tomorrow morning."

Although there are still many things she doesn't understand, at least...she no longer has to worry about the dilemma of life. In addition, there is nothing unreasonable about the mission. Moreover, with the help of the First Army, it is just a matter of success to find the source. Sooner or later. Then with the reward of fifty golden dragons, her partner's life will be greatly improved. She can't wait to share this good news with Doris.

"That's good," Roland stood up and said, "Then, I look forward to good news from you."

…

After Wendy sent Akima away, he returned to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the city under the night, and let out a sigh of relief.

"It finally begins."

"Making the sun?" Nightingale emerged from the mist, "I always feel that when it comes to this, you are particularly motivated..."

"Because this is a path to chase fire," Roland sighed. "From this moment on, mankind has entered a new era, from looking up at the sun to competing with the light. To me, I'm afraid there's nothing wrong with it." There's nothing more romantic than this." He turned around and pointed to the top of his head, "Did you see a yellow exclamation mark?"

Nightingale smiled and shook her head, "I only saw a sleep talker talking to himself."

"Ahem..." Roland almost choked on his saliva, "Hey, is it really okay to put it this bluntly?"

"I don't want to tell lies in front of you." The other party turned his eyes away and pretended to be innocent.

Roland glared at her angrily and amusedly. Even though he knew that Nightingale was only joking, this was probably what most people thought before the real finished product was created.

Even he himself didn't know whether the plan would succeed.

If there were no witches, he would definitely not have such delusions - the resources, manpower and financial resources consumed by the Manhattan Project in later generations are enough to bring down a large country. Trying to replicate it from scratch is tantamount to wishful thinking. But with the help of magic, The sun is not that far away.

What's more, its characteristic is that the investment is extremely small, and the main tasks are concentrated on a few witches. Rubbing nuclear bombs with bare hands is a joke in another world, but it is actually somewhat possible here.

Therefore, as a pre-research plan, it can be carried out simultaneously with several existing major industrial projects. Even if it fails, it will have little impact on itself.

In fact, he had been prepared for this from the moment Lucia evolved into adulthood. Taking advantage of the opportunity to collect the corresponding elements on the complete periodic table, he entrusted the chief alchemist Keimo Stryer to identify the original sample of uranium from a large number of isolated elements and keep it properly.

Uranium can be said to exist widely in nature. In addition to uranium ore, it can be found in granite, coal, and even seawater. However, it has no mining value using conventional technical means. Lucia's ability directly crosses the threshold of separation and purification. As long as she has a sample, she can gather trace amounts of uranium elements bit by bit to meet the demand for raw materials.

The ambitious words he made at the meeting were more to boost everyone's morale, but there were some words he kept in his heart - the romance of competing for glory could only be considered half of the reason. If it wasn't a matter of life and death, He had not yet made up his mind to put this plan into action, but from the news from the high-level devil, he realized that perhaps mankind had reached a critical moment of life and death.

Where does the magic end?

Completely unaware.

He did not dare to underestimate this unknown force that was completely unreasonable.

The devil's progress is astonishing, and the reason is actually his promotion after seizing the inheritance.

Agatha's insistence proposal seems to have no problem, but there is one biggest flaw, which is to leave time to the other party. The reason why the Federation failed miserably was because they ignored this point.

What will happen if the devil and the deep sea monster decide the winner in the third battle of divine will and get another promotion?

Since the enemy can use magic power to strengthen himself in such an incredible way, he can only use another unreasonable method as a trump card just in case.
