I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 494 - 462: The solution to nuclear radiation is to drop an even bigger hydrogen bomb!

Lynn spoke confidently about his ideas.

He did not blindly push for a theory and strategy of equality in this other world; after all, the worlds were different, and many situations did not correspond at all. Rashly applying a certain system might not achieve the desired effect.

Moreover, in this world, there were powerful individuals called wizards, with some capable of confronting an entire army alone. They represented a kind of advanced productivity, obviously making the concept of equality unsuitable in such a context.

Hence, the plan Lynn chose was to optimize the existing system of the Wizard Council and provide the lower-class poor with a relatively fair channel for advancement.

This new examination and promotion system greatly interested all the councilors present.

They could see that this was a scheme completely different from the previous feudal and electoral systems. It sounded very feasible, and it would completely eliminate their dependency on the old aristocratic management, prevent regions from becoming too powerful, and consolidate most of the power within the council.

It could be said to have only advantages and no disadvantages...

Just as Harrov and others were pondering the pros and cons, Lynn suddenly asked about the construction of the nuclear fusion reactor.

This was indeed the most important issue at the moment.

"Based on the current progress, it can be completed in up to ten days!" Vittorio said animatedly, the one who was undoubtedly the most eager for this device to be built!

Although the council had previously deployed some Thunder Mages to work on synthetic starch to resolve the food crisis concocted by the nobles, the overall progress had not been greatly affected thanks to the tireless efforts of the alchemists, and there were even signs that it might be completed ahead of schedule.

"We must strengthen security during this period, we cannot afford any accidents!" Harrov said solemnly. If the fusion reactor was damaged during activation, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lynn nodded in agreement; he had previously considered whether to build this device outside the city somewhere, so that if any sudden accidents occurred, the damage could be minimized.

But to pull off this cross-era nuclear fusion project, they truly mobilized the power of the council, with personnel and resources being adjusted far too frequently each day. This was especially true for the huge water resources required, which would be difficult to keep hidden from the Church's spies, no matter where it was located.

The other party might not know what they were doing, but would certainly try everything in their power to stop them, even potentially leading to a new round of warfare.

Even within Fire Oil City, the council had to continually release false information to the outside world, for instance claiming that the large-scale transportation of raw materials was for city expansion, and the massive influx of water was due to radiation pollution, etc…

The entire city was under construction, which also somewhat camouflaged the construction of the reactor.

Until someone advanced to become a true legendary Wizard, they tried to avoid conflict with the Church as much as possible, so secrecy was naturally of utmost importance.

"You need not worry too much; the nuclear fusion reactor I've designed is relatively stable. Plus, with the emergency contingency plans prepared in advance, even if severe damage occurs, the destruction will be limited to a manageable range," Lynn reassured them.

One of the advantages of a magic civilization over a technological civilization is the relative ease with which terrifying energies can be controlled through gravity and magnetic fields.

The fusion reactor was also located underground at a noble's large estate, covering a wide area positioned on the edge of the city. The underground facilities were built to the strength of a nuclear bunker, which could also minimize the damage caused by any accidents.

In fact, the most important reason why nuclear accidents are so feared is because of the nuclear radiation issues associated with the older nuclear fission reactors.

Let alone an explosion, even just a leak could affect land within a ten-kilometer radius, causing extremely adverse effects.

However, the fusion reactor used clean hydrogen fuel, which did not have such concerns.

"Even so, we need to be extra vigilant. After expending so much manpower and resources, we cannot afford any slip-ups," Harrov said, not relaxing in the slightest, even with Lynn's explanation, and took out a piece of secret intelligence.

According to spies they had placed inside the empire, recently, it seemed that the Church was mobilizing forces anew, and they could not rule out the possibility of a probing attack!

"They might want to take advantage of our internal strife," Aurora speculated.

The Church was behind the nobility-triggered food crisis, and seizing this opportunity to launch a large-scale attack was not impossible.

Although the council had perfectly resolved this dispute, cleaning out these parasites inevitably involved a significant portion of the council's forces. Now, the entire Fire Oil City was left with fewer than twenty thousand people on guard.

This was thanks largely to Lynn allowing Ryder to incite a massive uprising among the poor, otherwise, reclaiming all the territories of the western and northern regions in a short time would require pulling over most of the council's main forces!

Furthermore, maintaining the railways also required personnel, lest the tracks be sabotaged and lead to tragic accidents of vehicle and human loss...

Before they knew it, their available forces had become fewer and fewer!
