"What's the problem?" Xu Yi looked at Ramasia with interest.
Scientific research was never afraid of finding a problem, it was afraid that there would be no problem.
Ramasia was silent for a moment, then pointed to the magic nuclear warhead standing tall in the distance, and said with some hesitation, "Sir Chairman, guess … … if this warhead is officially detonated, how large of an area can it destroy?"
"I should be asking you this. If you ask me, how should I answer?" Xu Yi asked in return, somewhat amused.
Ramasia shook his head, not knowing whether to deny Xu Yi's statement or not knowing how to answer.
After another moment of silence, he sighed, "If this warhead is detonated here, I'm afraid the entire valley will be turned into ashes, and no one will be able to escape."
Ramasia glanced at Xu Yi, paused, and then added, "Perhaps only archmages like Sir Chairman and Mentor Carmilla will have a chance to survive. Others won't have the slightest chance of survival."
This valley was located about five kilometers to the north and west of the New Flight Commerce Main Base, and covered an area of about sixty hectares.
If a detonation here could turn the entire valley into ashes, it meant that the explosion of this magic nuclear warhead was close to one square kilometer.
Such terrifying power was even comparable to the atomic bombs that were first developed on Earth.
And if no measures were taken to deal with the chaotic magic space left behind, this area could only be untouchable for a long time, and would completely become a land of death.
Compared to the extremely serious effects of residual nuclear radiation after an atomic bomb explosion, this magic nuclear warhead was even more terrifying.
Hearing Ramasia's meaning, Xu Yi's expression became serious.
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm trying to say … …" Ramasia shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Sir Chairman, did we create a terrifying monster with our own hands?"
Xu Yi didn't answer this question, but was silent for a moment, and then pointed to himself.
"Ramasia, if I use my full strength, how much damage do you think I can cause in an instant?"
Ramasia froze for a moment, then replied without hesitation, "With your current strength, the destructive power you cause will only be more terrifying than this magic nuclear warhead."
"That's right." Xu Yi smiled again.
"Look, no matter how terrifying the power of this warhead is, it's only comparable to the destructive power of an archmage, or even slightly inferior.
Magisters have existed on this continent for tens of thousands of years. What are you afraid of? "
"But … at most, there are only a few dozen magisters. As for this magic nuclear warhead … as long as the experiment is successful, we can make hundreds or even thousands of them!"
"That's exactly what I need," Xu Yi said seriously.
"I want to drive the mages out of the battlefield, and even archmages are no exception. What I'm relying on is power that surpasses that of an archmage.
These magic nuclear warheads are just enough to meet my requirements.
As for your concerns, I can understand.
It's just that in Ramasia, it's never the power or the weapons themselves that cause disasters, but the people who wield these powers and weapons. Do you understand what I mean? "
Ramasia was silent for a while, then turned to look at the magic nuclear warhead and slowly nodded, seeming to accept Xu Yi's words.
However, from the expression on his face, he still hadn't completely thought it through.
Xu Yi wasn't surprised that he would have such a reaction.
The magic nuclear warhead was such a terrifying thing that could rival an archmage, but now it was in the hands of ordinary people. Of course, it would give rise to strange emotions in the hearts of ordinary people like Ramasia.
In reality, only he, the person who understood the most, would have such emotions. On the contrary, the workers and ordinary researchers under him wouldn't think so much.
"Studying magic nuclear energy isn't just for magic nuclear warheads, nor is it just for weapons and war."
Xu Yi patted Ramasia's shoulder and comforted him, "In reality, if magic nuclear energy is used for civilian use, it can play a greater role."
"Civilian use?" Ramasia looked at Xu Yi, puzzled.
From the beginning, he had been asked to use magic nuclear energy on magic nuclear warheads, and had never considered civilian use.
"Sir Chairman, magic nuclear energy is too violent and difficult to release slowly. I'm afraid it won't work for civilian use, right?"
"That's only for now.
As long as we continue to study it in the future, I believe we will be able to freely control this power. "Xu Yi smiled.
Ramasia nodded lightly, suddenly feeling much better.
After telling Ramasia a few more things to pay attention to in the experiment, Xu Yi left the valley.
After walking out of the Magic Illusion Shield, Xu Yi looked back at the valley that didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary on the outside and slowly shook his head.
After Ramasia left with the magic nuclear warhead, all the facilities here would be removed.
The research on magic nuclear energy was very dangerous. It was not suitable to keep it next to the New Flight Commerce Main Base. Therefore, Xu Yi had wanted to move it away for a long time.
Taking advantage of this experiment, Xu Yi planned to move the research department to a large island on the Endless Sea and use it as the New Flyer's magic nuclear energy research and development center.
Turning his gaze to the New Flight Commerce Main Base in the distance, Xu Yi fell into deep thought.
Not only did he have to move the magic nuclear energy research department, but he also had to move a series of important departments in New Flyer.
However, this relocation didn't need to be so urgent. Or rather, it couldn't be too urgent.
If there was news that New Flyer planned to withdraw from the Sines, the entire mainland would fall into chaos.
###
Spring in the year 3815 of the Continental Calendar was as usual.
When the warm wind blew across the mainland, all the countries on the mainland began their annual spring plowing.
If it was several decades ago, almost everyone on the continent would participate in the spring plowing. This was because if they wanted to plant crops in the right season, it wasn't an important matter.
Plowing, sowing, fertilizing, and other steps, each step required large amounts of people to participate.
Usually, at this time, even the noblest king and those high and mighty nobles would take the initiative to walk down from the fields and put on a diligent farming posture to show that they valued the spring ploughing.
With low productivity, there was a serious lack of food production. Most people could only live in a state of famine all year round, so this was an inevitable custom.
However, because of the appearance of the New Flyer, it brought large amounts of agricultural magic machines, so the people of the Sines didn't feel any urgency during the spring plowing.
Whether it was plowing, sowing, or even fertilizing, there were agricultural magic machines that took care of it.
The citizens who owned land only needed to pay a bit of money to hand these matters over to the agricultural companies, so they didn't need to care about anything.
Moreover, there weren't many citizens who were willing to spend their precious time on spring plowing. After all, compared to working hard in the fields, it was better to work in a factory. The income of a single day was much higher than farming.
In the Sines before, farming was the destiny of most people and there was no difference between them.
But now, if the people who didn't farm weren't from the agricultural companies, they would be looked down upon by others.
This was because only people who didn't have any skills would be reduced to farming, doing this kind of tiring work that didn't pay much.
The magic machine industry developed in the Sines, bringing countless job opportunities.
For every person on the continent, as long as they had the heart, they could find a suitable job.
If they didn't know anything, they could be the most basic assembly line workers.
If they knew a bit about magic machines, they could become skilled workers with better treatment.
If they had a bit of understanding of magic, they could enter the research department of the large companies. Perhaps with a flash of inspiration, they could bring a large profit to themselves and the company.
As for those high and mighty mages, they would no longer be so arrogant as to wait for the basic guarantee from the Magic Union. They might even starve to death. Instead, they were very active in learning all kinds of new magical theories, working hard to grasp enough knowledge related to magic machines, and striving to become a famous high-level magic mechanical engineer.
No one was willing to be idle and no country was willing to be idle.
However ….. the Mana Magic Kingdom wasn't idle, but it was completely because they were forced to.
When the other countries on the continent were busy with spring plowing, the Mana Magic Kingdom wasn't an exception.
But there was a large shortage of agricultural magic machines, so the Mana Magic Kingdom's agriculture department had no way to fill this gap. Even after April was almost over, there were still large amounts of land in the kingdom that no one was farming.
The citizens who had other jobs disdained the bit of income from farming and the farmers who didn't have jobs found that without the help of the agricultural magic machines, they had already forgotten how to farm.
The Mana Magic Kingdom's agriculture department was naturally very worried about this situation because they were very clear that without enough food, there would be no peace in the kingdom.
But the agriculture department couldn't force people to work. Even if they took various measures, they couldn't solve the problem.
While the agriculture department and the kingdom's parliament were worried about the spring plowing, there was a new problem that came to the Mana Magic Kingdom.
At the end of April, large scale riots broke out in the three provinces of the Mana Magic Kingdom.
The rioters directly attacked the local government, shouting for the kingdom to give them the right to work.
The reason was very simple, it was because a large group of people had lost their jobs … …
