"We at Kramer Technologies have developed a two-dimensional carbon atom crystal called graphene, which transfers electrons faster than any known conductor at room temperature, and this new material will be used as an alternative... No,."

"That's interesting news!" Lloyd turned the projection window toward Cecil across the table.

At the press conference, a handsome and dashing man was making an impassioned speech, and in the corner of the screen was marked "Company CEO: Jill Sterry. The words indicate the identity of this man.

"Two-dimensional crystals? Let me see..."Cecil's reaction was very eager, but everyone knew that it was not the beautiful man himself who really attracted her, but the news he announced.

"According to our test results, the conductive properties of graphene allow electrons to move at 1/300th of the speed of light, which is not even faster than lazy aurastone, and its transfer speed to electrons will make it possible to use ultra-large capacity rechargeable batteries and a new generation of high-speed computers. And its stable structure makes it so strong and mechanically that it can withstand two tons of weight if you make a plastic bag out of it....."

"That's pretty impressive." Cecil exclaimed

Carbon is the most common element in this world, and it can be said that the civilization of this planet is built on carbon. And the vast majority of life on earth, including humans, also has such a name in biological disciplines - carbon-based life.

Maybe it's because it's too ordinary, and it's ignored by the vast majority of ordinary people. It has only been the last two or three decades that has really sparked the world's interest in carbon.

In the nineties of the last century, carbon nanotubes, a one-dimensional carbon atom crystal, were discovered, allowing the world to witness the vast possibilities of carbon elements. This amazing material, which has 100 times the compressive strength of steel, 5 times the elasticity of steel, and a density of only 6 to 1/7 of steel, has the hardness of diamond, which is not inferior to the big brother diamond in the family, and also has good flexibility and resilience, and is widely used in various industries.

Since there have been one-dimensional crystals and three-dimensional crystals in carbon, the existence of two-dimensional crystals has not yet been confirmed, but it has long been firmly believed by all researchers in the world.

So Cecil's reaction can be considered to be in line with the normal behavior of a researcher.

"Our company will also reach a strategic partnership with New World Energy Development Corporation to cooperate on a new generation of energy projects, and I believe that a new generation of energy will be launched soon...."

"It's really a full performance of attacking the Sakuraishi market! But alas, it doesn't pose any threat to Sakuraishi's status, or a long, long way to go....." Lloyd let out a hearty laugh.

As the world's most important superconductor energy material, Sakurite has been used for nearly 100 years, and has formed a huge industrial chain closely related to people's lives over the years. But behind this, there is also a huge problem that is not optimistic, that is, the reserves of cherry stone.

There is no definitive question on how long Sakurashi will be able to sustain human civilization, but it is certain that if we don't prepare for a rainy day now, a devastating catastrophe awaits people in a few decades. If there is a substitute for Sakurashi at this time, the impact on the original system will definitely be a magnitude 9 earthquake.

"But with his handsome face and the performance just now, he may be able to attract a lot of sponsorship, right?"

"How so?" Despite understanding what Lloyd was referring to, Cecil had a few doubts.

"Let's not talk about what that new energy means, and how long it will take from the completion of research to mass production. As far as I know, the current cost price of graphene is 700 Imperial coins per gram, which is almost 18 times the price of gold....."

Looking at Lloyd, who said this, Cecil suddenly remembered that the boss in front of him was not just a researcher. At the same time, he is also an imperial earl with an industry related to Sakuraishi.

"Anyway, has anyone heard of this Kramer Technologies before?"

"No....."

At the same time, the other side of the planet.

"Compared to Mr. Stree's business management talents, I think his acting talents are more credible, above."

"It doesn't matter what business management talent is, isn't it his good looks and performance that he likes the media and the public?" In front of the window that popped up on his desk, Kamiyu, who was playing with a silver paper cutter, smiled.

"In this way, the initial publicity work is ready, and the only challenge is the location of the production plant. I don't want to be sent bombs to the factory when the plan is in phase three. ”

"Or is it, as before, how about putting it in satellite orbit? Above. ”

"It's a good idea, but it's too heavy for mass production, and you can't hit the market without scale, so you can't be lazy."

"So...."

"There are a lot of people who can do this kind of thing, so Musashi doesn't have to worry about it." Kamiyu interrupted Musashi's offer.

"What's going on in District 11 lately?"

"It's peaceful, even if the Governor is dead, but with three Knights of the Round Table in Sector 11, it's very difficult to make a move with the current state of the Black Knights. Above. ”

"Uh-huh....."

"Brother, the person mentioned in the intelligence has appeared." Just as Kamiyu was about to speak, Euphemia suddenly walked in.

At the same time, Musashi bowed slightly to Kamiyu and exited the communication video.

"Everything was as planned." Kamiyu nodded.

..........

"Shu Muqing, what is your dress?"

In the Governor's Palace, Monica, who happened to meet Suzaku, looked at the Ashford Academy uniform on his body with obvious suspicion.

"I'm in trouble...."

Suzaku grumbled inwardly, but a smile still appeared on his face.

"Of course, I went to school, I was a student at Showford College, and I met some friends when I entered the student union. Now that I'm back in District 11, I naturally want to meet them. ”

“.......”

Monica's non-response made Suzaku feel a little frightened, so she quickly explained

"You know, Her Highness Yuphimia wants me to fulfill her wish that she can no longer fulfill, and go to school like an ordinary teenager to complete her studies."

"I see...."Monica walked past Suzaku with a flat reaction.

"Is this a fool?" Glancing back at Monica's back, Suzaku felt a little uneasy.

Lelouch was in the Ashoford Academy, and only a few people who knew about it were related to the Emperor. It stands to reason that even if someone who had seen Lelouch in Pendolagon had seen him now, even if he saw Lelouch now, he probably wouldn't be able to associate him with the prince of the empire.

After all, it's just an outdated prince who has lost his backstage, and both brothers and sisters have been sent as hostages. After losing its value, it is naturally forgotten by the world.

However, there are exceptions, and Euphemia can even recognize Zero as Lelouch just by feeling and sounding. And Monica, who has followed Camillo since she was a child and lives in the palace and is familiar with the princes and princesses, can be said to be the most special of the Knights of the Round Table. Coupled with the fact that Monica had participated in the school festival of Showford Academy with Camillo, it was hard to guarantee that she would not recognize Lelouch's true identity.

Just after Suzaku left the Governor's Palace...

"Beinbelluk, are you interested in experiencing the student life of the common people?"

Monica's sudden visit was already confusing to Keno, but what she said surprised Keno even more.

"Wait, wait......" Keno finally reacted after a few seconds of froze.

"What did you just say?"

"I mean, go to Showford College and see how Shu Muqing's student life is like?"

"Are you really Monica?" Keno curiously circled around Monica twice.

How long has it been since a normal conversation with Monica like this has been shown? It shouldn't have been a long time, but it seemed like a long, long time had passed in Keno's mind.

'Smack~'

Monica held the pitch-black sword at her waist and slammed it on Keno's shoulder.

"To go or not to go!?"

"It looks like it's changed again," Kino's hip-hop smile stiffened.

"Go, of course! Such an interesting event, of course, can't be missed! ”

Although he knew that Monica's motives were definitely not what she said he was, Keno didn't think it would be a serious matter. Moreover, the mission of the three of them in District 11 has not yet been decided, and before the new governor arrives, it is a reservation in his itinerary to experience the student life of the common people.

"But if you want to go to school. There's no way we're going to dress up like this, can we? ”

Even though Keno had never been to a normal school, it was very uncommon sense to appear in public in the uniform of a knight of the round table, one of the few common senses he knew.

"Of course I know that, meet at the gate in 20 minutes."

After dropping such a sentence, Monica turned and left.

Returning to her room, Monica opened her suitcase, a dress that had been carefully inspected brought back memories to her.....

It was used by himself in disguise a year ago when he secretly participated in the Ashoford Academy Festival with Kamiyu. For a while, memories of the past kept pouring out, and by the time Monica came back to her senses, she had already hugged her clothes tightly in her arms.

"Your Highness...."
