Chapter 475 452 "Nuclear Fusion Reactor (Two in One) _2
```
After the Mass-Energy Equation was proposed, these two issues troubled humanity for over a hundred years.
Fortunately, the data archives and drawings related to it were available in Archive 071.
After much deliberation, Lynn, at temperatures exceeding billions of degrees, planned to use laser focusing to achieve his goal, fortuitously they had previously developed laser magic; with sufficient Magic Power, they should be able to successfully accomplish this.
The remaining problem was how to confine this force!
Combining the Wizards' abilities, Lynn believed they could attempt to use magnetic or gravitational constraints!
As for which specific method to use...
Theoretically, gravitational constraint was the most reliable. For instance, the reason a star could maintain its form under fierce fusion reactions was precisely due to the balance between the gravitational pull and the internal fusion reactions.
If they could replicate this aspect, they could truly simulate a miniature Sun!
However, creating a large Gravity Source was not an easy task; he once asked Harrov, and the answer was a definite no. Besides, gravity's influence was vast, and by then, not just this estate, but perhaps the entire city could be engulfed.
Thus, Lynn had to settle for the next best solution, using electromagnetic confinement to solve the problem.
"Using an invisible magnetic field to bind a powerful energy? What an excellent concept!" Vittorio also just happened to see this and marveled at Lynn's intricate design.
He could see that the blueprint was highly refined, proving that Lynn's artificial sun project was not an unfounded fantasy but was supported by a rigorous theory of magic.
This put Vittorio at ease...
"By the way, how is the situation with the Church recently? Any new developments?" Vittorio handed back the blueprint and asked.
It had been a while since they defeated the punitive forces, and although the enemy might be deterred by the deterrence of the Big Nuclear Explosion Technique, not daring to invade in force, he was very clear that the Church would never allow them to continue developing.
Lynn recalled the intelligence received yesterday and explained, "According to the scouts' reports, there have been three incidents related to the Evil God in the Empire in the past few months, and together with the impact of the witch hunts, the Empire's interior is not very peaceful..."
"That's actually good news!" Vittorio raised an eyebrow, as their biggest concern at the moment was the Church making a desperate move, marshaling all its forces for a final confrontation.
The construction of the nuclear reactor needed another two to three months at best... The extraction of deuterium would also take about two months!
Without equivalent power to face the Evil God's avatar, they would be forced to resort to the Big Nuclear Explosion Technique, a spell that causes significant self-harm for the sake of defeating thousands of enemies.
A powerful wave of energy wouldn't distinguish friend from foe, and if last time it destroyed the land tens of kilometers outside the city, this time it could well be Fire Oil City or the Capital.
Lynn also smiled. It seemed that their wide publicity of the punitive army's defeat had lured all the restless elements out from the shadows.
Although the resulting large-scale witch hunts led to the tragic deaths of many Wizards, which he found regrettable, the Church was now overextended, which should buy them some time.
As for the Evil Gods and their Believers, Lynn had no sympathy for them; these most ancient Spiritual Energy Wizards were one by one so eroded by the power of their faith that they lost their sanity. If the Church could successfully eliminate these people, that would be more than ideal!
Then, when they took over later, there would be no need to divert resources to clean up these troubles.
Just as they were discussing, an Attendant walked in with a dossier from outside and respectfully interrupted, "Mr. Speaker, Master Lynn, this is intelligence regarding the Empire."
Lynn took the paper and glanced at it, then his brows furrowed.
Such a coincidence?
"What's the matter?" Vittorio asked, puzzled.
```
"It's about the calamity of the Evil God," Lynn began to explain. According to the reports of the spies, there were three instances of disasters related to the Evil God within the empire's borders, but strangely, they were all eradicated without causing too much harm.
As it's known, only a Wizard of the sixth circle and above is qualified to join the ranks of the Evil God. After obtaining the power of belief, their strength can reach a pseudo-legendary level, something ordinary clergy can't deal with.
Usually, once the believers awaken the Evil God, it means the death or injury of tens of thousands, or even more. The local churches almost have no resistance and must rely on legendary clergy to handle the situation.
But this time was different, as the chain of catastrophes caused by the Evil God were easily suppressed, as if the higher echelons of the church had received a message in advance and were lying in ambush there.
"This is indeed a bit strange," Vittorio said, stroking his white beard, pondering what the church was up to.
Beyond that, there was a second piece of intelligence worth noting. Yesterday evening, the Wizard responsible for communication received a strange electromagnetic signal.
Since electromagnetic waves travel too fast, they were unable to confirm its origin or decipher it. After careful consideration, they could only use electromagnetic magic to interfere with it.
Someone had also developed the use of electromagnetic waves in magic?
Lynn was very curious, but even more vigilant, because the most basic use of this thing is usually to transmit information!
...
Three days later, in the capital of the kingdom, within a luxurious castle, dozens of elegantly dressed, resentful nobles gathered together for a secret meeting.
"These damned Wizards dare to seize the lands in the eastern part of the kingdom for themselves, punishing and killing nobles capriciously. Who gave them the right?"
Marquis Mortan roared hysterically in the castle, eliciting a chorus of agreement from the other nobles.
In the year since the Wizards took over the capital, thanks to the tangible ruling benefits of expelling the church, many had changed their attitudes and gradually accepted the new status of Wizards replacing the church.
Even Mortan, who prided himself on his devout faith, had to grudgingly acknowledge the Wizards' control over the kingdom after witnessing the shadow of the divine being shattered and hearing the news of consecutive defeats of the crusaders.
However, all cooperation was based on both sides playing by the rules!
The rule was that the nobles rule over the mundane world, while Wizards preside over the extraordinary!
However, the recent behavior of the Wizards had instilled deep fear within them!
On their way to reclaim the kingdom's land and wage war on the empire, numerous nobles had been hanged, their wealth confiscated, their children and servants forced to become lowly laborers, doing the same work as the poor, causing not only anger but also fear!
"What about His Majesty the King? Is he really going to allow the eastern lands of the kingdom to be seized by the Wizards like this?" an incredulous Viscount of the empire asked.
"His Majesty?" Mortan said mockingly. "A false king, a mere puppet put in power."
He had heard from a guard that indeed, after seizing the city, the Wizards had sent someone to seek guidance.
But that was all, just seeking guidance! The Wizards had already done the deed, so what other choice did King Hattar have except to agree?
The nobles participating in the discussion grew more and more agitated. Without their help and cooperation in the first place, how could those Wizards have managed to rule over the expanded territories of the kingdom?
The entire kingdom would've likely fallen apart long ago under the assault of believers and rioters!
Now, it was clear that the other side wanted to cross the river and then destroy the bridge. Today's calamity might only befall the eastern part of the kingdom, the nobles who opposed the Wizards, but if those Wizards managed to suppress all their opponents, then it was very likely the turn of the rest would come soon enough...
What do you think?
