Inside the Relic Research Institute on Hope Island, Charles is surrounded by a group of people who visit the building's heavily guarded rooms.

Around Charles, in addition to Leonardo, the administrator of Hope Island, and James, the chief of police, there are also some heads of research institutes.

These are all transferred from the police department and the navy, and ability is not the most important, loyalty is the most important.

Led by them, Charles came to a spacious room, separated by a small table, where various things were placed.

Looking at the objects of different sizes covered with thick glass in front of him, Charles knew that what was inside was the new product that Leonardo was talking about.

"This material was separated from the soil by the No. 9 ability, and the yield is very small, but it is very useful, it is not only lighter and harder than iron and steel, but also more resistant to corrosion, and the No. 3 steel I told you earlier also contains an alloy of this metal. ”

Leonardo presented a gleaming piece of silver metal to Charles.

"And it's incredible that this metal can be used as an excellent fuel after being ground into an extremely fine powder!"

Charles looked at the metal ingot in his hand, and he quickly searched through his mind for the knowledge of the various elements that he had forgotten.

"Extracted from soil, it is lighter than iron and corrosion-resistant, and the powder form can also make the fuel, which sounds a bit like titanium, and I remember that titanium powder can also burn, but I am not in this business after all, so I may not be accurate. ”

The special metallic properties of the metal in his hand made it impossible for Charles to distinguish whether this metal was endemic to the sea or the surface.

"Don't limit this thing to weapons, take it out and do all kinds of experiments and see how it can help you in all aspects of various industries. ”

Charles's forward thinking allowed him to understand what it meant to make the discovery of a new metallic element.

It wasn't just this one thing, Charles looked up at the various products on the table in front of him, some lumpy, some liquid, some of which were even alive.

For example, a dog with two heads sewn together.

As Leonardo introduced them one by one, Charles's eyes brightened brighter.

These things mean all kinds of new technologies and inventions, and at the same time, these things are rapidly applied to industrial production, which greatly promotes the economic and military development of Hope Island.

These things are not just a matter of use, their emergence can also be used as a catalyst for technology.

It is almost impossible to forge a dagger out of thin air when humans have never seen iron, but if there is a sample in front of them, it is much easier to reproduce.

Charles felt that this kind of thing could even allow the entire Earthsea Humanity to break through the limitations of the second phase of industry and go one step further.

There may be a significant deviation from the electrification of the surface, but these things may bring the technology of the surface into an even more magical era.

Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly thought of the disappeared Foundation, and everything Hope Island did seemed to be following the old path they had gone.

"What's the difference between what I'm doing now and the Foundation?"

"No, it's different, the reason the Foundation fell was because they were stealing the power of the gods, and it's not the same thing to do it themselves, it's the power of humanity's own exploration. ”

Charles knew it was too far to think about those things now, and all he could do now was take advantage of this opportunity.

These things are an excellent opportunity, and your own strength may be greatly improved through these things.

Charles didn't want to fight for territory like the other governors, his main purpose was to curb the Pope's Cult of the Illuminati.

Although both sides are in a cooperative relationship, the strength of one side of the current cooperative relationship is too different, and if the other party really wants to do it to themselves, then there is no room for them to fight back.

The Pope's various abnormalities made him always have a trace of vigilance against this old man.

Thinking of the various backgrounds that the Cult of Light had brought out during the day today, Charles looked at these things in front of him again, and he felt that he finally had the hope of confronting the other party.

Charles looked at the fluorescent jellyfish pendant in his hand, although he was not very useful in this regard, but from modern thinking, he had an idea of these things that were beyond the surface of the earth.

"The ability to put living creatures in an enclosed environment with bare hands should not be used only to make high-end luxury goods, I think this ability can definitely be very useful in medicine. ”

"Since she can put it in, it shouldn't be a big problem to take it out, if there is a difficult birth, he can let him take the child out of the belly directly, if he can really do it, then there will not be any mother who died due to dystocia in the entire Hope Island. ”

"For example, all kinds of stones and all kinds of foreign bodies that do not belong to human beings, other doctors can only operate on them, and he can directly take them out. ”

A middle-aged man next to him lit up and nodded repeatedly. "Your Excellency, what you said is that I didn't think of this kind of thing. ”

Charles gave him a disgusted look before continuing to look at the other products.

While the man was still in place, Leonardo nudged him, "If there is something to do, just talk about it, don't be courteous, our Governor doesn't like this." ”

Charles picked up the information of various abilities and pondered it in detail, and the thinking of modern people finally came in handy, and he had a feeling that his golden finger had finally arrived.

But he still had a slight concern about it.

"Will those who are capable of being obedient?" Charles asked, looking at what was in front of him.

"Of course it can't be, these people themselves are death row inmates, all of them are vicious criminals, but our prison guards will make them obedient, and it is already a forgiveness for them to be alive. James, who was standing on the sidelines, explained.

"Find a way to make a system out, and make them obedient without making them too noisy, they are now our tool people, but tools also need to be well maintained. ”

Leonardo nodded, "That's true, but Lord Doge, regardless of your attitude towards these death row inmates, there's no doubt about the importance of the Relic Institute to Hope Island. ”

Charles nodded. "I know this, make this the core technology of our entire Hope Island, and I will have Bandage and Leonardo send a navy over and station it near here. ”

Just as Charles was discussing the details of these things with them, an unexpected news came. "Your Excellency the Governor!, there are a few live ships from the island of Itza at the docks!!"
