"That's the best news I've heard today!" Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh after learning that the drought was about to end. "I've been really tired for the past six months!"
"To be honest, everyone is actually very surprised that you can actually hold on until now!" Javier said. "More than one evil god opened a bet on whether you would die of exhaustion or give up. None of them really bet on you lasting to the end. "
Sui Xiong smiled and suddenly froze. "You didn't either?"
Javier turned his head and seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the window. He even sincerely praised, "Oh, I just found a bunch of beautiful flowers blooming outside the conference room!"
Sui Xiong sighed and was speechless.
"It's fine if it's others, but you don't even have confidence in me … Aren't we friends? For the sake of our friendship, you should also help me! "He couldn't help but complain.
Javier laughed dryly and didn't explain.
In fact, he didn't need to explain. Sui Xiong understood his thoughts.
Friendship was friendship, and gambling was gambling. Javier didn't think that Sui Xiong could hold on until the end, so he wouldn't bet on this.
He didn't know how long this great drought would last. If it lasted for eight to ten years, who could hold on?
But Sui Xiong knew that he could actually hold on.
In the past six months, he didn't just hold on blindly. While ensuring the water supply to the world, he had been doing experiments and researching more efficient seawater desalination technology.
Through repeated experiments, his technique continued to improve. Now, it had changed from the original set of techniques to a brand-new one. Just like what the teacher had shown everyone in the experimental class, he was now spraying seawater into water mist and then heating the water mist to separate the salt and water in the seawater.
This separation method was extremely efficient, and in addition to getting hot water vapor, it could also get basically dry coarse salt. He collected the coarse salt and transported it to the Republic of Northwest. A group of mages and craftsmen, led by Palin, were studying the coarse salt and figuring out how to purify it into edible fine salt.
In the south of this world, there were also saltworks that dried seawater into salt. Naturally, they got the coarse salt that Sui Xiong made. Generally speaking, people ate such coarse salt, which had an obvious bitter taste and could not be eaten too much.
Those who could afford it would consume fine salt that had been purified by magic. Fine salt was made from the concentrated seawater in the saltworks. The impurities were removed with magic, and the salt was dried. It was very similar to the fine salt on Earth, both in shape and taste. It was just that there was no "Pure Natural" or any other green label on the packaging.
Unfortunately, the cost of purifying salt water with magic was very high, so the price of this fine salt was quite high. Not to mention the poor, even the average family with slightly better circumstances could not afford it. At the very least, one had to be a small merchant, a small noble, or a decent adventurer to be able to enjoy something of this level.
Of course, there were many dishes in Void City that used fine salt, but what Sui Xiong wanted to do was to take this opportunity to research a low-priced fine salt that ordinary people could afford.
This topic was a little difficult. Palin and the others had been working hard on it, but they still hadn't found a good solution.
It was actually very simple to use magic, but once magic was used, this thing would definitely not be cheap. If magic was completely excluded, many things could not be done, which was very troublesome.
Sui Xiong didn't know when they could come up with a result, but he was not in a hurry.
Scientific research was a very long thing, requiring a lot of time, energy, and wealth. Which scientific research country on Earth did not rely on a large number of scientific workers, a lot of money, and a long time to accumulate results? A genius could solve everything. This kind of thing could only be seen in comics.
Most of the coarse salt was stored in the Holy Kingdom, and now there was a high mountain in the Holy Kingdom — a mountain of coarse salt.
The amazing thing was that even though there was so much less water and salt in the sea, the sea level did not drop, and the smell of the seawater did not become lighter. It was really puzzling.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Sui Xiong introduced his discovery and said, "Although we all know that the edge of the Main Plane is connected to other worlds, is the flow of seawater completely unrestricted? Then why can't anyone go directly to other worlds by boat? "
The gods looked at each other and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Yes … Why?" Javier frowned. "Such an obvious thing, why have I never thought of it?"
"It doesn't make sense … I was fearless in the past, and I liked to travel everywhere, climb the highest mountains, and kill the most ferocious monsters … But why didn't I think of going to the sea by boat to see what the end of the sea looked like?" The one who could say this was, of course, Yorgaardman.
Wenner pondered for a moment, and his eyes narrowed. "I'm afraid … everyone's thinking has been affected."
"What?"
"Well, let's do an experiment," Wenner said. As Wenner spoke, he carved a few lines on the table in the conference room, making a note of the incident, and then covered it with something.
"Oscar, use your divine power to cover it again, make sure that we can't see it," he said. "Wait a few days and see if we still remember this."
After a few days, Sui Xiong mentioned to everyone that there were a few lines on the table, which recorded something, and asked if everyone remembered what was written.
The gods frowned and looked at each other.
"Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember it at all? "
"Yes, I don't remember it either."
"… It seems that there was such a thing! But … the memory is a little fuzzy … Oscar, are you sure this happened a few days ago, and not a few decades ago? "
"Something's wrong! With our brains, even if it happened a few decades ago, we should be able to remember it clearly! It's impossible for us to forget! "
"Yes! Not to mention a few decades ago, even if it happened a few centuries ago, it's impossible for us to forget it! "
The faces of the gods gradually changed, and all of them became solemn.
Under everyone's gaze, Sui Xiong's face was gloomy, and he opened the cover that covered the few lines of words.
Seeing those lines of words, everyone came to a sudden realization, and they all remembered the experiment.
Then, they began to worry.
To be able to make nearly 20 gods, including four great Divine Powers, lose their memories of something at the same time, this was definitely not something an ordinary person could do. Among the gods, there was only one person who could do this!
The Master of Order!
