Elvin was leisurely lying on the chair in the captain's cabin, his feet on the desk as he muttered to himself.
"Of course, of course. Your Majesty, how can we not take this year's largest order seriously? The first batch of fifteen iron-ribbed wood-hulled ships equivalent to Fourth-class warships has already begun construction.
However, although the Mercury Shipyard in the Far Sail Territory has started to expand production at the same time, I still suggest that you speed up the production speed at the cost of shortening the lifespan of the sail warships.
It's not only the Mercury Shipyard that is implementing this strategy, but the Portsmouth Royal Navy Shipyard should also do the same. We should strive to achieve the target in three to five years and obtain the capital to contend with Shilius. "
The reason why he made this suggestion that defied common sense was that he had already foreseen the future of ironclads ruling the seas. The preparatory technology was almost ready, and according to the current trend of development, no matter how good the sail warships were, they wouldn't last for fifty years.
Levina didn't say anything about Elvin's suggestion.
Based on her many years of experience, at least with Elvin's foresight, she no longer thought about whether it was right or wrong. She was very certain that he definitely wouldn't speak without thinking.
Therefore, in the remote image of the [Mental Network], the new queen wearing a platinum crown nodded.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements as soon as possible.
"Also, I need to remind you that now is the best time to implement the 'dismemberment plan' in the 'Overlord Disqualification Plan.'
We don't need to wait for Shilius to make a move on us first. Take advantage of the fact that the religious war in the Shilius Empire hasn't completely ended.
We can already make arrangements in advance and instigate internal conflicts and rivalries in Shilius, allowing them to continue to be in chaos and buy more time for our development.
Your Majesty, you must have the self-cultivation to be a qualified batter … ahem … batter! "
Automatically ignoring Elvin's last sentence, Levena's lake-green eyes flashed with a glint.
"Let me guess, the most suitable target should be … the Kingdom of Frisia?"
Pa!
Elvin chuckled and snapped his fingers.
"Bingo, great minds think alike. Even though we still haven't found out where the various and valuable contraband items at the coronation ceremony came from, and even divination was completely countered, we still haven't found out where they came from.
However, it was easy to deduce that there weren't many people in Beckler who had such power and financial resources back then, and the Netherland Bank Group, which happened to be empty after the ceremony, was the most suspicious!
Clearly, something has happened within the bank that we don't wish to see. Since we're not destined to be friends, it's best to use this to annoy Shilius. "
Levina covered her rosy lips and gloated.
"Hehe, it shouldn't just be disgusting, right?
The New World wasn't peaceful to begin with. Gold and silver production had been declining year after year, and if something big were to happen to Frisia, which already accounted for more than half of the kingdom's finances, Philip II would probably vomit blood on the spot!
Moreover, we're not the only ones who have their eyes on Frisia. The Blackwing Order … "
After the mischievous duo exchanged their opinions and discussed a few specific action plans, Elvin suddenly asked Rivena, "What's the matter?
"By the way, Your Majesty, it's been almost a month. How's my sister doing?"
"Hehe, Annie has already locked in the throne of the strongest female Knight in the Tulip Family. Now, she's the idol of all female Knights, soldiers, and even socialites in the entire alliance!
Because she's the captain of the [Legendary Warship, Jade Corona], many admirers outside the 'Emerald Light' have given her another name, 'The Bright Pearl on the Tulip Crown'. Her name is even more resounding than mine, the queen.
Don't worry, Annie will be able to return after a few days. When that time comes, I'll go with her to Georgia and Buffalo to take a look, especially St. Elvin City, which is becoming more and more famous among the sailors.
The last time I went to the New World was at least ten years ago. After this queen left the mainland after her coronation, the first stop I made after leaving the mainland was your territory. Don't you feel honored, Calvert? "
As she spoke, Levina was still in the video call. She winked her beautiful big eyes playfully at Elvin.
"Haha, welcome, welcome. It's an honor! When you come to the Long Island Manor, I'll treat you to the wine my sister and Hersey made. Although it's just a year old and not in its best condition, it should be drinkable. "
"Okay, that's a deal! I'm looking forward to it now. "
At this moment.
"Boom! Boom! "
Muffled explosions sounded one after another.
On the other side of the [Mental Network], Levina listened for a while and couldn't help but wonder.
"Elvin, what's going on over there? Is there thunder? "
Elvin waved his hand indifferently.
"It's okay. It's nothing. I'm in the middle of a war."
"Oh, okay. Then I'll leave you to it. Let's talk another time."
Levina knowingly said goodbye to Elvin and hung up the video call. Knowing Elvin's temperament, the queen wasn't worried about his safety at all.
Looking at the disappearing image of the Queen, Elvin raised an eyebrow.
"Annie? They call each other so intimately. It's only been a few days, and they're already so close? "
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. It was a good thing that his sister, who had always been strong-minded, could get along well with Levina, a career woman.
"Thud!"
Elvin jumped down from the chair. Outside the completely transparent cabin, it was already dark and deep in the ocean.
The coordinates were on the west side of the New World, somewhere 3,000 meters under the sea.
Seven to eight small, ugly, eel-like sea monsters that were more than 30 meters long were quickly escaping from their home under the continuous water cannons of the [Legendary Warship — Sea Spirit] and the large "Bramble Crown Sea Snake" Pipi.
"Guru … Guru …"
At this moment, under the light from the [Sea Spirit], Elvin saw a large group of "chimneys" at the bottom of the ocean. They were all different in height and thickness. The tallest one was more than 100 meters tall, and the shortest one was a few meters to dozens of meters tall.
Billowing "smoke" was coming out from the large and small white chimneys and black chimneys.
What was even more bizarre was that there were countless bacteria, bivalves, armored shrimps, giant tube-dwelling animals, tube jellyfish, gastropods, and some relatively advanced fish living in symbiosis with the bacteria in the deep ocean that was so dark that one could not even see one's own fingers. They formed a wonder of life around the 'chimneys'.
Clapping his hands lightly, Elvin showed a hint of joy.
"It took me three days to finally find it! An undersea hot spring … This should be the closest thing to the concept of the "hot spring of life"! "
It had been almost a month since he killed the "big boss" and obtained the fifth volume of the [Blood of the Creator].
Elvin, who had already reached the prerequisite to learn this knowledge, had almost grasped the basic theory in it.
Other than the powerful ability to influence, modify, and control living creatures, inanimate objects, organic matter, inorganic matter, and so on, the [Blood of the Creator] was the most important part of it.
The most important use of it was actually to carry one's own path. Compared to a series of other "techniques", this knowledge could be called "Dao"!
The [Blood of the Creator] was the foundation, and other witchcraft could be used.
Endless witchcraft imprints would be engraved into the skin, muscles, bones, and even the depths of the bloodline and spirituality, allowing the superior Sorcerer to gradually achieve a transformation in his life level. The nature of his magic power would also undergo an earth-shattering change.
From then on, if he left behind a descendant, he would be able to inherit the superior Sorcerer's powerful talent without anyone's interference. Before the descendant was born, he would have laid a solid foundation for it. Victory … before the race track was built.
The real [Blood of the Creator] could be said to be a type of witchcraft, and could also be said to be a kind of alchemy creation. It was not as fancy as the previous four volumes of witchcraft.
Although the ability was monotonous, it could be ever-changing when combined with the profound knowledge of the Sorcerer.
In order to create such a miraculous creation, one of the most important raw materials was the legendary "Spring of Life". With it as the foundation of the [Creator's Blood], only then could it truly unleash its theoretical power.
Of course.
The so-called "hot spring of life" was not the same as the "Tree of Life" in myths and legends, but the closest thing to the origin of life or the origin of all living things in this world!
According to the [Blood of the Creator], the ancient pioneers had used animal amniotic fluid, egg fluid, the blood of ancient creatures, the sap of ancient trees, reproductive cells … to create the [Blood of the Creator].
Some of their effects were strong, while others were weak. However, the Pioneers had never been able to discover the core elements and determine what was the true source.
However.
Elvin led his students to investigate the currently known "Tree of Life".
They found that at the root of this great "Tree of Evolution", the microorganisms that represented the "common ancestor" of all living things on this planet, were mostly some kind of "Hyperthermophilic Archaea".
Combined with the knowledge in his brain, Elvin knew that the place where they lived was in the "underwater hot spring" that was absolutely unbearable for ordinary people.
These "Hyperthermophilic Archaea" had an average optimal growth temperature of more than 80 degrees Celsius. They could use the environment around the underwater hot spring vent to continuously release energy from various inorganic chemical reactions to maintain their own life activities and support the entire underwater hot spring ecosystem.
These microorganisms could completely adapt to the harsh environment of the ancient sea where oxygen and sunlight did not exist at all. They were the core evidence that life originated from the underwater hot spring vent!
It was also the place where the "Original One" and "Original Gene" that Elvin proposed when he redefined the "Tree of Life" was most likely to exist! At the same time, it was the place closest to the concept of the "hot spring of life"!
