In the afternoon, dozens of wizards of the Iyeta School gathered around the vast magic laboratory, pondering the meaning of the magic star's words.

However, the young and energetic Elok did not have so many concerns, and immediately replied. "Grain is, of course, wheat, beans and corn......"

Lydia also raised her hand in the air and replied. "We need to plant the seed in the ground, then water, fertilize, and repeat until it grows out of the ground!"

"Yes, so to speak!" Lynn nodded, then continued with a smile. "Do you know how plants convert various elements into nutrients that we can absorb?"

Elok and Lydia were dumbfounded, and even a three-ring wizard like Philip, who focused on elementalism, was stopped by Lynn.

They really don't pay attention to how wheat absorbs all kinds of elements from the soil in the process of growth, and finally becomes edible food.

Fortunately, Lynn didn't expect them to be able to answer, so he directly revealed the answer.

"It's relying on photosynthesis!"

This is common knowledge known to everyone in the Federation in the previous life!

At the lowest level of the ecosystem, plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic matter that stores energy, which is the source of biodynamics!

In ancient times, human beings were like wild beasts gathering and hunting to obtain food, which was greatly affected by the environment, weather and luck, and was very unstable, and starvation was a common thing.

It was not until the two skills of farming and animal husbandry were pointed out that they had the ability to obtain food stably, and they laid a solid foundation for the large-scale living in groups and forming a country.

But this stability is also limited, perhaps a drought, a large-scale war can burn everything to the ground!

It was not until the 21st century that humans synthesized starch directly in the laboratory for the first time using carbon dioxide, water, electricity (light) and a special catalytic enzyme!

This achievement is undoubtedly revolutionary!

It means that from now on, the production of food will be directly rid of the dependence on land, light and environment, and it can be directly produced in batches like assembly line operations!

The efficiency has been improved by several levels!

To know the natural photosynthesis of plants, the conversion of inorganic matter into organic matter needs to go through dozens of extremely complex biochemical reactions, which take several months, and the theoretical energy conversion efficiency is also very low, about 2%.

However, only 11 processes are required to synthesize starch, and the energy conversion rate has also increased to 7%.

After entering the 22nd century, based on the needs of interstellar voyages and the establishment of nuclear fusion reactors, synthetic starch has once again ushered in a technological blowout innovation, and the energy utilization rate has soared to about 20%, and the eleven steps have been reduced to six steps!

In addition, there are also technologies about synthetic wheat flour and corn flour in the brain, after all, this thing is also synthesized by some inorganic substances, although the technical difficulty is higher, but it is always the same!

Lynn stretched out her right hand as she explained the principles of magic.

The water vapor and carbon dioxide in the air were quickly stripped away, followed by a strong flash of thunder, and various trace elements were integrated into it under the control of spiritual power.

With the void as the pot and the magic as the shovel, the inorganic is transformed into an organic ......

Lynn just showed off her artificial bread skills in front of dozens of wizards!

After about fifteen seconds, tiny grains of powder began to emerge in the void, floating and piling up together, forming a ball.

It was like a scene of creation in the void, and it amazed the wizards of the Iyeta school!

"Water!"

Lynn spoke again, and more water vapor was converted into liquid water and poured into the powder, and then the dough was kneaded rapidly with the [Mage's Hand], and the ball was quickly deformed and twisted under pressure, and finally baked directly with microwave heating technology.

The dough, which was only one finger thick, immediately expanded by heat and turned into a square bread brick four fingers thick!

It only took about three minutes before and after!

"This is my magic bread!"

Lynn urged the Mage's Hand to place the bread bricks on the square table.

Ellock, Kevin, Philip, and the others immediately gathered around, dozens of pairs of eyes staring at the bread bricks on the table, amazed at the magic that Lynn had made......

"Can it be eaten?" Lydia reached out and poked it, it was soft to the touch, not hard enough to be used as a shield and weapon like the bread she bought in the market.

"Absolutely!" Lynn said with a smile that he would have gotten these things out and do something.

Hearing Lynn's affirmative reply, Lydia immediately tore off a piece and held it in her mouth.

"How's it going, does it taste okay?" Lynn hurriedly asked, although he added a lot of trace elements to it to enhance its nutrition, but it is difficult to say what the specific taste is.

Lydia frowned, thinking for a long time before she came up with an adjective.

"It tastes like a cloud!"

The girl's comment made Philip and the others feel extremely curious, so they also ate them one by one, and then understood why Lydia said this.

Because this bread is fluffy and soft on the bite, it is not hard at all, and the taste is even much better than that of white bread, the only drawback is that it has no taste.

If you can eat it with some beans, it will definitely be a great delicacy!

"It seems that from now on we don't have to worry about food anymore!" Philip said excitedly.

Lynn's bread-making skills are really good, which means that in the future, wizards don't have to carry any food when they go out of the house, and when they are thirsty, they will extract the water vapor in the air, and when they are hungry, they will perform a bread-making technique, which is not too convenient.

"I wonder if this is a few rings of magic, and the apprentice can use it? And how much mana do you need to consume? Kevin did ask a substantive question, and that was accessibility.

It's about the scope of the technique.

"Judging from the difficulty of casting, casting a complete [Magic Bread Technique] should be regarded as a three-ring magic!" Lynn said with a deep groan.

Kevin's brows furrowed slightly, the total number of three-ring wizards in the council was only two thousand, even if they all cast this spell together, they would not be able to supply the entire kingdom!

Fortunately, Lynn was quick to speak. "We can separate each process and build the corresponding alchemy circle to make it, and the difficulty will be much lower."

"If it's just synthetic starch, it's even easier!"

Starch alone can't make bread, but it's definitely not a problem as a daily food for the poor!

All you need is carbon dioxide, water, electricity, and mana!

The first two are everywhere, and the latter two need to use the Council's Lightning Stones and Magic Stone Reserves.

"But...... Wouldn't that be too expensive? Kevin hesitated again and said that the daily ration of three million people could not consume a small amount of energy!

"Rest assured, it won't be long before we don't have to think about energy anymore." Lynn patted Philip on the shoulder and said with a smile.

They recently discovered a new magic stone mine, and as for electricity, isn't there a nuclear fusion reactor that is about to be built?

In fact, it was only after nuclear fusion and positive and antimatter annihilation technologies were developed that the technology of artificial food of the Federation was truly widely used!

After dispelling the doubts of Kevin and the others, Lynn turned his head to look out the door and spoke.

"Lauder, come in!"

After receiving the order, Lauder, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, walked in quickly on his prosthetic leg.

When he entered the door, his first glance was at the torn half of the bread on the square table.

In Lauder's opinion, which has a very limited understanding of magic, this loaf of bread was conjured out of thin air by Lynn using magic!

It is a miracle of the creation of the void!

No wonder Lord Lynn dared to let him sell nearly half of his wheat reserves in just a few days!

"You can try it too!" Lynn reached out and shoved the remaining half of the bread to Lauder.

The latter was also excited, and directly broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, and the soft mouth melted.

"It's like the clouds!" Lauder said with emotion. "If this magic bread could be delivered to the market in large quantities, probably no one would buy wheat anymore."

I just don't know what kind of expressions those wealthy merchants and aristocrats who are frantically collecting grain will have when they see this thing?

Lauder thought to himself, but he didn't forget what he was doing, and immediately took out a secret envelope from his bosom.

"Lord Lynn, this is the list of people gathered by the Parliament's psionic wizards, who are the culprits of this time to raise the price of food and try to blame the cholera kingdom."

The aristocrats hid themselves behind the scenes, relying on remote control of various caravans to buy wheat in large quantities, and even killed many cronies in charge of the operation, in a vain attempt to cut off the possibility of their origins.

However, there are no secrets under the soul search, and those psionic wizards spent several days still touching all the way down the line, after all, the nobles still plan to continue to do things, so they will inevitably continue to send people to contact the caravan.

Grand Duke of Gard, Marquis of Moltan, Count of Bell, Count of Herder......

This list is very long, covering almost all the great nobles in the northern part of the kingdom, and if it were a year ago, every name on it would have affected the stability of the entire kingdom.

"There is also information about that one, according to the investigation of the wizards, it seems that he is also involved in the plan of the Cholera Kingdom!" Lauder said it very vaguely.

Lynn nodded, but it was not too surprising, without the acquiescence of the other party, how could the nobles dare to make such a big fuss.

But it just happened to save him to find a reason again......

"How much grain has been released so far?" Lynn put away the file in her hand and asked casually.

"About 90,000 tons of wheat, a total of 173,600 imperial gold coins......" Lauder reported excitedly.

It's a money grab!

The most important thing is that now is just the beginning, they still have half of the wheat not thrown out, that is the real big head, after all, according to the current momentum, the price of a kilogram of wheat is not easy to increase by one or two hundred times?

Lynn thought about it and thought it should be about the same.

Although those nobles are very rich accumulated over generations, the cash they can take out is estimated to be about one million imperial gold coins, and they may not be able to buy all the wheat.

After another happy piece of information, Lauder deliberated and reported a piece of bad news. "There has been a massive famine in the western and northern territories of the kingdom due to the skyrocketing price of wheat."

Although the council ostensibly ruled the entire kingdom, it actually had absolute control over the 'cleared' southern, central, and newly conquered eastern territories, and the rest of the territory was still under the control of the nobles.

Nowadays, the nobles are busy buying wheat to make money, and naturally no one can care about the lives of the poor people in the territory.

Lauder knew very well that this magic star still paid attention to the poor, so when talking about the scene of hungry people everywhere and eating grass and trees, he tried to be as careful as possible.

However, to his surprise, Lynn did not have the slightest hint of anger or worry, but commanded with a smile.

"That's right, let Reddell run it, bring some food over, and distribute the replaced flintlock pistols to them!"

This... This...... Hairpistol?

Lauder was stunned, he didn't expect Lynn to use such brutal means to solve the problem.

Or from the time when he gradually put food to push those nobles into the game, this magic star should have planned a follow-up strategy.

"Your wisdom is truly vast...... "Lauder hurriedly patted his ass, but there was also some sincerity in his tone.

The nobles' nonsense is equivalent to completely losing the hearts of the people, coupled with the operation of releasing grain and issuing guns, they can recover the western and northern territories of the kingdom without much effort, and by the way, they also win the hearts of the people.

Lynn didn't care about Lauder's boasting, and continued to ask how the grain collection plan she had ordered was going.

"It is true that a small number of caravans have sold the grain in their hands, and more are the lords of the kingdom who are selling grain to us at low prices." Lauder replied truthfully.

"That's really ...... Surprise me. Lynn suddenly cried and laughed, but this also proves that their strategy of improving people's living standards has achieved good results.

You must know that the price of wheat in the market is several times the price they bought it, but the people are still willing to sell their grain to them at a low price.

A slight smile appeared on Lynn's face, and then he suddenly spoke indifferently. "Tonight, the purchase price of a kilogram of wheat will be reduced to fifteen copper!"

"Yes, Lord Lynn." Lauder couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his head, he had never understood why this magic star had to collect food at a price far below the market, but now everything was clear.

Where is the price of harvesting grain, it is clearly the countdown to raise the butcher's knife!
