"Look, this is our new list of projects, can you see what else is in demand in the imperial capital?"

"Look, eldest prince, this is our Yinfeng Ling's alchemy park, which is a new alchemy industrial park that perfectly responds to the high-tech development of the imperial capital, can you give a little more subsidies......

"Prince, please ...... here"

After knowing that Carlos had the right to approve funds, Ian's attitude immediately became enthusiastic, and even Carlos was a little uncomfortable: "Count Yinfeng, be a little reserved...... You're not bad for money now, are you? The military order of the flint group of the Western Legion, as well as the drinks that sell well next to the imperial capital...... Your realm is upper-middle among all counties, and it has a lot of potential for the future! ”

"Where is the money?"

Speaking of this, Ian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This is not a disguise, but a fact.

In the past, he was a researcher who asked for funds, and he didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were if he didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were, but now that he is the leader, he knows how much money is swallowed by the projects he opens.

Not to mention anything else, it is just the 'Artificial Soul' project team - in order to optimize the soul structure, strengthen thinking ability and memory, he has purchased no less than forty batches of ape-like magical beasts as experimental subjects, and even breeds in the laboratory, striving to cultivate the most human-like ape species.

In addition, military research and development is also a big head. Although Ian's alchemical attainments enabled him to complete many of the Imperial military's military needs through his own research, mechanical engineering and the construction and development of experimental new equipment were a lot of money.

Among other things, the development of the 'MCV' (Forward Base Construction Vehicle) that Ian had on his mind is an example of this - this thing is so big as a project that even the simplest 'giant vehicle tracks' need to be tackled at the moment, and both material selection and structural design need to be sifted through at the expense of money.

As for the 'STC' (Standard Building Module) inside the base car, it is simpler, it is nothing more than a fractal terminal of the Heart of Terra, which stores all the construction technology of the Silver Peak Collar, and the only difficulty is how to use the engineering equipment that comes with the base car to turn the blueprints in the construction module into reality.

The base car was foreseen by Ian on the way to the Star Extinguishing Road, and the intelligent machinery used in the development of outer space mining by himself, its existence has given Yinfeng Territory almost unlimited industrial resources, and its development is obviously the highest priority of the sequence, but this thing is really expensive, even if Ian gathers the power of the whole territory, he can't realize it in a short time.

But if it's an appropriation from the imperial capital......

Ian enthusiastically introduces his various projects to Prince Carlos, among which the technology of the base car is packaged in the concept of the "Easy Forward Base", which is sold along with the "Floating City".

In Ian's description, the floating city he wants to build is not a heavy firepower fortress, but a giant front-line factory, where all the air and space armor can be quickly repaired and replaced, and even some unmanned armor or relatively low standard air and space armor can be produced locally as a support force.

This kind of floating city can be called a mobile fortress dock, a real advance base, and it can also be accompanied by a coordination network, responsible for the movement and cooperation of the army in a place.

"The concept...... Interesting! ”

Carlos was obviously moved, he nodded slightly, and generously waved his pen: "It's worthy of a young man, you have thought of the use of the new floating city so quickly - the emperor will give you full support, as long as you can build it, then all the funds are not a problem!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Although Ian hates the behavior and speed of the sun god birds without a sense of distance, they are also very fast in playing money, which Ian gives 100 praises.

"Walk slowly—ah, can't be slow."

Ian sent off Prince Carlos almost like a god of wealth, and the moment he saw the other party turn into light and leave, his smile gradually dissipated, and finally turned solemn.

"Does the imperial capital really not care, or is my moral standard too high?"

Ian muttered to himself, he sat at the door of his castle, somewhat incomprehensible.

In fact, since he brought Prince Carlos into his experimental base, Ian has been testing the other party - whether it is the soul technology that treats patients with brain diseases, or the soul transformation technology that vaguely hints that Ian has the potential to transform human beings, Carlos is unmoved, and seems to be accustomed to it.

Truth be told, that's not quite right.

Dolch Hauss. After this atrophied 'brain-dead patient' had an artificial soul and gained normal intelligence, his father's first reaction was not 'joy', but a kind of fear.

"Is this really my child?" He stood outside the room and muttered to himself, "Although I know that it is the soul that was born from the structure of his body and brain...... But my child, who was so stupid that an idiot can't describe it, became so smart......"

"It may sound puzzling, but Lord Earl, can you make him stupid? A little bit would be fine...... I don't need him to be smart, I just need to be able to keep the family business......"

It's a pity that Ian can make people go from being idiots to being smart, but he can't make smart people stupid.

Because idiots who are too stupid to be self-aware cannot refuse the transformation of others, and intelligent people with self-consciousness will resist such behavior, their souls themselves will interfere with Ian's homework, not to mention, with Ian's morality, he will not pervert Dolch's own will in such a trivial matter.

And how could Dolch himself turn himself back to his original appearance of being unable to take care of himself?

As a result, Dolch Fox has so far remained in his hospital room in Radiant City, and has not been picked up by his father.

Ian didn't care, he believed that one day, Mr. Hawes would come back to pick up his wise and dutiful son.

As for asking him if Dolch was Mr. Hawth's original stupid son, rather than a completely new person......

"I think so." Echoes that transcend time and space, Ian, self-brainwashing, Ginho, said, "It's a trivial matter, right? Why are these Terrans so sensitive? ”

"Obviously."

"You can't be a model or a contrast," says Adbert. ”

That being said, it's clearly a challenging technique. But Carlos didn't say anything.

Could it be that there were similar spiritual and soul experiments within the Empire? But they are not used to treat patients with these brain diseases...... So where is this technology used?

Ian was most worried about this matter - he was also unsure of the purpose and bottom line of the imperial capital.

Axel's purpose is still a mystery, he was thought to want eternal life, but he doesn't have that idea at all...... But if it's a resurrected person, it feels a bit fanfare. I don't understand.

But no matter what, life has to go on.

After a few days of fear, Carlos promised to pay for his research. It was a seven-figure sum, and it was even only the first batch, and the Silver Peak Leader had never fought such a rich battle.

Although the price is to be watched by the imperial capital and even His Majesty the Emperor, for Thaler's sake, Ian is willing to temporarily shrink his tail and be a man and be a genius researcher quietly.

And so the days went by.

With the Heart of Terra and Ian's exquisite soul skills, Silverpeak Leader has launched an analysis of the Flying Flame Land's demon technology - although there is not much success so far, the 'Fusion Demon Detector' launched by Silverpeak Leader sells well in all the noble realms in the West.

Basically, any noble, knight lord, city lord or even village chief who has the conditions has a strong need to buy, and they have really become frightened birds after being killed once by the demon legion, and in order to avoid another attack like this, they will buy all the items against the demons.

In addition, there are also some sales in the South Ridge and Northern Provinces, and it is said that this detector can detect not only demons, but also evil spirits and cursed spirits, and it is a very useful general-purpose Shroud Malicious Spirit Detector.

At the same time, with the gradual improvement of the Great Snowtop Sanctuary, the selection process for the 'Knights of Protection' is gradually on the right track.

As of now, led by Miles, there are a total of twenty-seven 'potential psionics' in the Silver Peak Territory who have the potential to protect psionic energy. These psionics need to keep their vows, and their words and deeds must be in line with the 'guardian regulations' established by Miles in order to unleash the true power of the sheltered psionic powers, but even so, this is the seed of the twenty-seven clerics.

As for the 'Holy Light Priests' headed by Loren, there are very few, and there are only three of them until now.

Loren was a little disappointed by this, and Ian also comforted his disciple.

"People can't understand that protection and healing are more important than destruction, so we need to educate."

Ian took Loren to the classroom in Xiahui City to show him the thousands of children studying in the academy, and the prophet said calmly, "This is the truly valuable property of the Silver Peak Territory to this day—children and the future. ”

"Their three views, cognition and lifestyle, will be very different from their parents' generation. In the same way, the psionic energy they can awaken is not the same. ”

"Among these children, there will definitely be more 'Holy Light Seeds' who will be biased towards you in the future."

These words were not just comfort, but also Ian's declaration of the future in his heart.

He doesn't believe in humans, at least not in this generation of Terrahumans, because no matter what kind of path they take, Terra humans will definitely go to self-destruction.

This generation of Terra people has long been in madness and madness, as the Abyss Dragon said, this land is no different from the abyss, if it weren't for the diligent cleaning of the Void Machine God from generation to generation, this place of Terra would have become another abyssal star field.

However, this is not immutable...... As long as the next generation is educated, then one day, the strife will cease and a world of great harmony will be created.

And then, Ian can also fulfill his dream.

In addition to the Knights of Protection and the Priest of Light, Ian's hidden third sect lineage, the 'Vengeance Messenger', that is, the psionic inheritance deduced from the power of the Dead King, actually has more people who meet the requirements.

There are hundreds of them, almost all of them orphans and parents who have lost their parents and children due to special warfare, biological warfare, and demonic invasions in the Flamelands. They are single-minded about revenge, and they want revenge, and this resentful spiritual energy erupts like a volcano, allowing them to burn their souls and adapt to the power of the vengeful messenger.

There are a lot of them, and they are very compatible, if it weren't for the fact that the seeds of this group of vengeful bringers are basically self-destructive demons adhering to the 'one for one' principle, Ian would definitely be happy to cultivate them.

So in the end, Ian gave this batch of 'clergy seeds' to the Huaiguang Church to cultivate. It's not that it's troublesome, but he believes that the Huaiguang Church can adjust the mood of this group of vengeful messengers, so that they will have revenge in their hearts, but they will not be consumed by anger and hatred, and let themselves fall into nothingness.

This is one of the hidden benefits of artificial souls - in the past, there may have been a lot of people with psionic qualifications, but there was only one less opportunity, but at most one in a hundred.

However, after the artificial soul, due to the improvement of the essence of thinking, the number of psionic potential people began to increase, originally one in a few hundred, but now it has become one in dozens or more than a dozen people.

Even in some psionic bloodline families that seem to have the bloodline of an ancestor, even to the point of exaggeration, one in the few people is a psionic potential.

And this kind of potential can be used to cultivate the sect's artificial psykers.

Even if you don't have psionic potential, if you have a soul, and then practice meditation, if the materials are sufficient, basically everyone can reach the second energy level.

The improvement of talent by artificial souls is so great that it's no wonder that such a seemingly mundane technology is considered one of the most critical strategic technologies by the Empire and the Flying Flame Lands.

And just when Yingguang, Huijian and the others helped Ian train the priesthood, on the side of Harrison Port, Bishop White Mist also came over in person.

This old man came to Xia Hui Ling only to do two things.

The first thing to do is to inform Ian that his younger brother Elland will come to the city of Radiance from Port Harrison to be educated by the Radiant Sword and others as priests.

The essence behind this matter is actually that the Huaiguang Church wants to completely hand over the power of the clergy team to Ian, and Elan himself is the leader of this clergy team.

After all, Ian has now founded his own sect, and even if Elan is being educated by the Huaiguang Church, they have to consider Elan's position.

Ian's feelings don't matter - he can do whatever Ellan likes as long as he likes.

And with his current relationship and inheritance with the Huaiguang Church, there is no need for his younger brother to receive a basic education in the Huaiguang Church.

But Ian did not choose to break off his relationship with Port Harrison Church, telling Bishop White Mist that he would always be Elam's teacher and friend.

As for Elan himself? To be able to come to Yinfeng to be with his brother, he is ten thousand happy, how can he not be willing.

As for the second thing, White Mist informed Ian that Huaiguang Sacred Mountain had detected a huge 'natural disaster' that was about to occur.

The place where the natural disaster occurred is related to a place where the Mahdi, an acquaintance of the prophet, will go in the future.

"It's the capital of knowledge."

Bishop White Mist said solemnly: "Ian, maybe you don't believe it, but in a short period of time, the capital of knowledge will usher in a great destruction and change - this is a prophecy from the popes, and it is impossible to be wrong. ”

"Even if you don't believe it, you must tell your brother Mahdi Glen."

The toe was pierced by a wooden thorn an inch, and it hurt so much that to be honest, I really wanted to take a leave of absence, but I still gritted my teeth and finished writing a chapter.

Brothers, you have to wear socks even at home!
