Chapter 726: Where the Duty Is

"Electric Energy ......"

Gregory took a breath and let the pen put the last touch on the draft, and he stopped what he was doing.

The pen was produced in Lolandal, and the technology involved was not cumbersome, and they had already purchased the technology to make pens and other household items from the Church of Radiance.

Not everybody buys technology, some people buy something and try to figure out how it works, then print their own label and then build it – like a 'steam engine'.

Since there are no effective means and relevant laws to restrict such behavior, similar things happen all the time.

This time too, whether it is a 'steam engine' or a 'generator', it has not been disassembled and studied since it was sold.

Whether it's a steam engine or a generator, it's essentially a machine for ordinary people, so the structure can't be too complicated, maybe the mages and craftsmen aren't good at these things, maybe it won't be long before they can imitate a similar machine that can be used.

In fact, not only the nobles, but even the members of the manufacturing department and the R&D department have proposed to split a generator - the generator of the Duchy of Sorrow has been officially sold, but due to the difficulty of transportation, it can only be transported to the Ogordon Empire through the transportation route within the Church of Wealth, so the number of sales is very small.

However, this proposal was rejected by both Gregory and Calvin, who did not need to disassemble the generator at all, because they did not know the relevant knowledge after dismantling, and only knew how to build a machine.

This would also lead to a further deterioration in their relationship with the Duchy of Sorrowful Winds, which was not the best option.

Even if they didn't, their empire's relationship with the Duchy of Sorrow would not be much better, after all, the Duchy had repeatedly disrupted their plans, but the knowledge that flowed from that Duchy was what they needed.

So, even if they didn't like that country and the head maid very much, they couldn't let the relationship continue to deteriorate.

However, these are not the most important things now, what matters is how they deal with this new type of energy.

Do you continue to stick to the steam engine, or do you put your head down for a while, hoping to buy the corresponding knowledge from the Duchy of Sorrow and build your own generator?

Grigory was a little undecided, because when he had gone to ask his Majesty for his Majesty's permission, he could decide for himself either option, but he would have to bear the consequences.

He also knew very well that he naturally had to bear the consequences of his choice, but this was not the reason why he didn't want to make mistakes.

Even if the generator needs water or wind to generate electricity, this does not mean that it cannot be used with other energy sources, at least in Gregory's eyes, which has great potential.

However, the fact that the generator needs to use spells to help convert energy makes Gregory a little embarrassed, he doesn't like magic very much, and many nobles in the empire have a repulsive or even disgusted attitude towards magic.

If he chooses to use electricity, he may have to convince the old nobles.

Needless to say, electricity was important to mages, and since learning that it could activate the circle, they almost felt like they were going crazy.

Even in the eyes of the mages in the R&D department, as long as the 'wires' are put into the ground according to the pattern of the circle, and after the power is turned on, a magic circle can be activated—just like using magic to activate a magic circle, there is not much difference between the two.

The difference is only that traditional magic circles need to be arranged with precious magical materials, and only in this way can they attract elemental power and magic.

Anyway, the main body of the magic circle is the runes and structures, not those magic materials, magic materials are just used to attract elemental power and magic power, just need to overcome how to make the elements and magic power arrange and distribute according to their ideas without using magic materials, then even if only ordinary wires are used, a magic circle can be constructed.

For the mages, this is nothing short of a carnival, and Gregory needs to take into account their feelings, after all, they are also the main personnel of the Empire's research and development department.

"Grigory!

Bang bang bang!

The office door was suddenly slammed, and Gregory looked up at the door in amazement, the voice was familiar to him, it was Calvin's voice, how could he be here?

Exhaling, Grigory said indifferently, "Please come in." ”

The famous research madman pushed the door in, wearing an overcoat and a smile on his face, and as soon as he walked in, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Hey, Gregory, guess what we found?"

The plague has been successfully resolved with the help of the Church of Radiance, or the Duchy of the Wind, and the locust plague in the autumn has not been able to wreak havoc in the end, and this winter may be a little harder, but it will only be more difficult.

This result is enough to make Calvin happy, and even His Majesty has been in a good mood lately.

At least not the worst outcome, that's enough!

Calvin has turned back into the research maniac that everyone knows, and this time he came from the R&D department, what should be the new discovery?

"What did you find?" said Gregory, who had no time to play Calvin's childish guessing game.

Calvin smacked his lips with some regret, but then smiled and informed Gregory of their discovery: "We discovered something very important while we were working on that generator!"

Gregory's eyebrows raised, "You dismantled that generator?"

"No, no, no, how could it be!" Calvin shook his head with a smile, "It's just that we found out, there's actually nothing incredible about generators, do you know what's in there?"

"You're going to dismantle that generator?!" Gregory's voice couldn't help but rise a few tones.

"No," Calvin replied in displeasure, and then he sighed, "We didn't take the generator apart, but when we were studying how that thing actually generated electricity, we magically found out that the generator actually generated electricity through magnets. I don't know exactly why, but if that's the case, maybe we can modify the steam engine and use steam to generate electricity!"

Calvin's words moved even Gregory, and he was shocked, completely unexpected.

"Doesn't the generator use wind and water to generate electricity?" asked Gregory incredulously.

"Not really!"

Calvin shrugged his shoulders and teased, "I didn't expect Minister Gregory to have such an idea, if you want to use magic to promote energy conversion, then how expensive it is to make a generator, even if the Duchy of Sorrow is on the edge of the Black Forest, I am afraid it can't afford such a cost." In fact, you've seen it yourself, the outer shell of that generator is a layer of steel, and the internal material should be similar, and we didn't find much magic reaction when we tested it. ”

Grigory frowned.

He didn't like Calvin's teasing, and he regretted his stupid words before, but these were not the most important things-

"Just like a steam engine, a generator can be mass-produced?" asked Grigory solemnly.

The smile on Calvin's face gradually faded, and he sighed melancholy: "Yes, it can be mass-produced in theory." ”

"So......" Grigory closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

He said tiredly: "I am going to buy relevant knowledge from the Principality of Sorrow, this knowledge should be allowed to be sold, I have learned about it in the Wealth Church before, it should be allowed to be sold......"

Calvin's eyes lit up, then he frowned and couldn't help but sigh.

"However, the steam engine must continue to be studied!" Gregory opened his eyes suddenly, "We still have steam locomotives and factories, so we must continue to work on them!" (https:)
