Broad World

As soon as he returned to the residence, Henry immediately saw his son and daughter standing in the garden with Irenia, each holding a short bow specially designed for children's practice, as if they were competing in archery.

The elf loli tied up her long golden hair, her small face was tense and she slowly drew the bowstring, followed by a whoosh, and the arrow accurately hit the target thirty meters away.

"Yeah! I won again! Get the bet out soon, don't be foolish." While waving the short bow in her hand, she stretched out her little hand excitedly.

Alan shook his head with a wry smile, took out a gold coin from his pocket, and said to his sister beside him, "Look, I warned you just now, don't compete with elves in archery. We are mages. And physical coordination will never match her."

"Shut up! I'm sure to win! She can't be so accurate from the beginning to the end, she will definitely miss if she does it a few more times." Liv roughly interrupted her brother's advice, her small eyes were wide open, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't believe it. It's not like being convinced.

"Okay, since you insist. But this time I won't pay for you again. If you want to continue gambling, you can use your own pocket money. Oh, yes, I have to remind you one last thing, maybe wait until she is physically strong When you run out of money, you may have fallen to the ground from exhaustion and passed out." After speaking, Allen smiled and put the gold coin in the hands of the elf Lolita, and then stepped aside to watch the show.

Irenia threw the coin into the air casually, and quickly opened her pocket. In the blink of an eye, the gold coin rolled over and fell into it exactly.

Patting her bulging purse lightly, she asked Liv with a smile on her face: "How is it? Do you want to come again?"

Touching her shriveled purse, and then looking at the other party's slender and agile figure, Liv finally restrained the mentality of taking a gamble. Shaking his head in frustration: "Let's forget it, maybe my brother is right, competing with an elf in archery is simply the stupidest decision."

"Hee hee, well, don't be dejected. I have been practicing archery since ten years ago, and I haven't stopped it for so many years, so it's normal that you can't win. Let's go, I'll take you to the kennel. There They keep a lot of elf hounds." Loli the elf dragged the two of them towards the kennel in the backyard of the Duke's mansion.

Liv murmured softly while running: "Damn it! Why didn't I feel comforted after hearing this sentence, but instead felt even worse."

"Hey! My dear sister, your subconscious mind is jealous of time's favor for Irenia. When we grow up, you will gradually understand this contradictory mood." Allen joked with a playful smile.

Seeing the little guys disappearing around the corner, Shi Kodi turned her head and winked playfully at her husband and said, "It seems that they get along well, at least they didn't quarrel, right?"

"Arguing?" Henry smiled and pinched his wife's nose. "Maybe Liv is still a little childish, but Allen has long been smarter and more mature than most adults, so it is impossible to quarrel. Even if there is a small conflict, he can easily resolve it."

"By the way. It seems that you haven't explained to me what Alan has been through since he was kidnapped? How did you change back to the way you were ten years ago?"

The words just now reminded Shikodi of the problems that had been bothering her all the time, so she stared straight at her husband's face that seemed a little immature, her eyes full of doubts.

certainly. This is also thanks to the precocious physique of Westerners in Faerun Continent. At least Henry's height and build are only a little shorter than adults.

Obviously, he didn't intend to tell these things to his powerless wife, he just shook his head with a smile: "Aren't we all living well now, there is no need to worry too much, I guarantee that all crises have been resolved. "

"Well, it seems that you father and son are determined to hide it from me." Shi Kodi sighed helplessly.

"Are you going to listen to me talk about the abstract relationship between time and space all afternoon? Then discuss the nature of the world and the universe?" Henry asked, spreading his hands.

It is impossible for ninety-nine percent of mages to understand these complicated questions, let alone ordinary people.

Shikodi hurriedly shook her head: "No. Forget it, I'd better prepare for the evening banquet." After speaking, she lifted her skirt and rushed into the gate without looking back, as if she was avoiding some terrible monster .

There is no doubt that she does not want to hear these complicated theories at all, even if there are huge secrets hidden in them. Like most ladies, Skodi is content with her current social circle, even for discussions. I will only discuss things that can cultivate temperament, such as jewelry, sculpture, dance, painting, poetry, and stage plays, but stay away from the cruel and real world.

Watching his wife disappear out of sight, Henry smiled slightly and said to the air behind him, "Come out, I know you are there."

moment!

There was a trace of fluctuation in the air, and the golden skull was revealed in the next second. It was the terrifying half-lich Kangus. At this moment, his body was covered with silver-white bright spots, emitting deadly radiation all the time. The flowers and plants within a few meters were affected one after another, and quickly withered and died.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the ore mining?"

Seeing the virtue of the demilich, Henry immediately felt something was wrong, and asked very nervously. Nuclear energy is his big weapon in the future, and it is also one of the important sources of energy for the development of magic power. It must be ensured that nothing goes wrong, otherwise it will be a big trouble if it is known by other people or God.

A cold light flashed in Congus' eyes, and he shook his head slightly: "No, the mine is safe, and the mining operation is also very smooth. But the trouble is that the ore reserves are dozens of times more than estimated. The efficiency is so high that it can’t be mined without one or two years of effort. I need more tireless golems and undead creatures to increase mining efforts and at the same time guard the safety of the mine.”

"Are you sure it's dozens of times, not several times?" Henry asked with a face full of disbelief. He originally thought that he had already estimated the mining area to be quite large. After all, the uranium mines in Faerun Continent are buried so hidden, and the reserves must not be very rich. One or two hundred (nuclear) weapons produced by a mere underground mine is the limit. , no amount of words could possibly go undiscovered for thousands of years.

But he was wrong. And it was outrageously wrong. The reserves of this mineral deposit far exceeded expectations, and it might be possible to establish a complete energy system.

Normally, the birth of uranium is divided into two parts, one is the energy generated inside the planet, and the other is affected by the ubiquitous energy ray radiation in the universe. All in all, this substance exists in many places, but there must be specific geological conditions in order to form a mining area.

As we all know, Faerun is completely different from Earth. It is not an independent planet, but is connected to other universes through natural interfaces like wormholes, including the bottomless abyss, Bator Hell, Mount Paradise, elemental planes, chaotic seas, astral realms, and even no one can Find out if these places are another planet.

Therefore, the deeper one goes underground, the stronger the connection with other planes will be found, and sometimes they will even walk into hell or the abyss unknowingly, so geological movements are not so obvious in this world.

Henry speculates that this may be the reason why Faerun is seriously lacking in energy sources such as oil and natural gas, and it is also difficult for uranium to be expressed in the form of mineral deposits. He felt that this mining area was probably formed by the impact of huge meteorites or asteroids in ancient times. Otherwise, why can't even see the shadows in other places, but there are so rich reserves there?

certainly. All of this is just speculation, and it is estimated that the result can only be known by going to the site for personal exploration.

"Master, I have used spells to detect the depth of the mining area. There is absolutely no error in terms of area. And I also found a problem, that is, the more I dig down, the higher the quality of the ore, as if there is a terrible thing hidden at the bottom. Things." Congers lowered his voice and explained excitedly.

Ever since he realized that these substances containing deadly radiation can generate huge energy, his whole body has been plunged into excitement. Whenever he looks at jars of purified silver-white particles, his mind is full of energy! energy! energy!

With endless energy, with the terrifying spellcasting level of the demilich. In just a few years, an endless puppet army can be formed, a large number of experiments can be conducted, and thousands of apprentices can be trained.

It can be said that for mages, energy is power, wealth, army, and something that must be consumed in large quantities to improve the level of spellcasting. It is the foundation of everything. The reason why the era of Netheril was so brilliant is that they possessed Mythra's Core, which could extract energy endlessly from the magic net. Otherwise, how could they have cultivated so many arcanists.

Henry frowned and considered for half a minute, then asked, "Tell me. How many of those liches inside the Circle of Truth can guarantee their loyalty?"

The demilich sighed slightly: "Unfortunately, there is none. They just surrendered temporarily, because I control everyone's phylactery. You'd better not let them know such a secret, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that they will not be Outsiders know."

"Damn it! A few years is too long, six months at most. Otherwise, there is a possibility of being discovered. What else can you do to make it faster?" Henry asked sullenly.

The time he had set for launching a war with Eilistraee and Velen would be in the second half of the year, once Rose's faith in the main plane was shaken. Maybe a counterattack will be launched immediately, and it will be difficult to guarantee that the mining area will not be noticed by the other party.

"It would be great if we had enough golems. It doesn't need to be too many. About 3,000 golems can increase the current mining speed by dozens of times." Kang Gusi sighed slightly and made a suggestion. Even he himself didn't think it was feasible. After all, it would be very troublesome even for a legendary mage to make golems. Three thousand golems would take at least several years of work, and that's not counting the huge cost.

"Golem?" Henry suddenly remembered the simple method of making a golem he found in the dimensional sphere, and quickly took out a notebook from the dimensional bag. "Yes, that's it. I'll tell you a full set of energy conversion methods now. Immediately build a small device near the mining area and use it to provide energy for these simple golems. In this way, two months should be enough."

Next, he explained in detail all the knowledge and principles required by the nuclear power plant. As for those special parts, such as coolants, voltage regulators, steam turbines, etc., which cannot be achieved by the industrial system of Faerun Continent, Kang Ge Si found a way to solve it by himself, and believed that this demilich with a spellcasting level as high as thirty-six would definitely be able to replace it with magic.

Soon Kangus couldn't wait to cast the teleportation spell and return to the ground for practice. Except for the dead plants on the ground, no one knew that a terrible undead spellcaster had just come here.

Henry calmly wiped away the remaining radiation, used the power of the legendary druid to restore the plants to normal, and then walked into the house without looking back. (to be continued ~^~)
