Chapter 431: Chapter 431
Lin Ke exhaled a long breath before speaking, "Enough!"
Granny Hisai and Xiangnai immediately fell silent, sitting properly at the table with serious expressions.
Lin Ke looked at Granny Hisai, "How’s the situation in the Science Division?"
Granny Hisai, a "chemist," was appointed by Lin Ke as the head of the Science Division.
"There are many ongoing research projects at the moment, but research funding isn’t very abundant... well, it’s actually sufficient," Granny Hisai spoke hesitantly under Lin Ke’s gaze, revealing the situation.
"Alright, then, how long will it take to make a nuclear weapon, I mean, at the fastest?" Lin Ke stared at Granny Hisai with burning eyes, gripping the armrests bubbling with lava.
Feeling the seriousness, Granny Hisai also straightened her expression and said, "One year. I have already found the uranium element! But..."
It really is just one year!
Lin Ke suppressed a certain impulse in his heart and asked, "But what?"
"But the uranium element seems to be within the Holy Life Alliance’s territory..." Granny Hisai frowned and said, "The Business Department is also making efforts, but it’s very difficult to obtain..."
"The Holy Life Alliance?" Lin Ke squinted upon hearing this, "Which tribe?"
The Lava Swamp borders both the Holy Life Alliance and the Ocean of Stars and Waves.
He never had much extra time to deal with these two forces, though the Ocean of Stars and Waves would come from the coastline every few years to engage and train with the Lava Swamp, ensuring ecological stability.
"A tribe of the Celtic Fire Cat Race, five thousand kilometers away from us." Granny Hisai said, "The uranium mines there are quite developed, and those fire cats seem to be upgrading their levels using the radioactivity of uranium."
Absorbing radioactivity?
This is interesting... Lin Ke thought for a moment before speaking, "Hmm, I’ll handle the uranium mines. As for other aspects... Xiangnai, Heshan, fully cooperate with Granny Hisai."
"Alright." Xiangnai and Heshan nodded in agreement.
Then, Xiangnai spoke of her own accord, "Dear, great, supreme Duke of Lava..."
As she began speaking, Xiangnai instinctively stood, pounding her chest, causing the nearly erupting "Xiangnai" to shimmer.
Rica immediately became alert, straightening her chest, which was as flat as the Azanen Plain, while Xiangnai’s Karst Giant Mountain Range stood firm in response.
The now adult and rule-bound Tree Shepherdess was instantly defeated.
"Ahem, speak properly." Lin Ke coughed lightly.
Xiangnai was initially the Great Priest of the Goddess of Wealth and even came to assist during the Magical Beast War.
However, at that time, Lin Ke felt Xiangnai was just going through the motions without contributing fully, later directly turning her over.
Xiangnai became the Fallen Priest. Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
But it didn’t matter, as Lin Ke had painted a grand picture for her.
The Financial Goddess, or rather, the Goddess of Economics and Finance.
This was truly digging up the roots of the Goddess of Wealth!
Currently, even a powerful neutral deity like the twenty-sixth-level Goddess of Wealth hadn’t said anything.
Unlike Mr. Noble, who couldn’t hold his temper back then.
The Goddess of Wealth had her own confidence, partly due to her ancient heritage.
Being ancient meant her foundation was very deep, with countless intelligent creatures under her command providing her with faith power from various planes.
Perhaps what she valued more was the Insomnia Emperor behind Lin Ke, so she didn’t act rashly.
By now, Xiangnai, who had been demoted to fifteen levels due to her fall, had become a level twenty Divine Fire High Priest.
She had already ignited the Divine Fire!
"At your command, my king..." Xiangnai pounded her chest again to show respect.
Lin Ke’s eye twitched slightly.
Then Xiangnai licked her lips with her small red tongue and finally began to speak, "The bank has already reached an agreement with the royal family. Recently, it’s expanding on the lands of the kingdom’s lords. The lottery system is developing vigorously, and many nobles are interested in the loan and investment businesses..."
Xiangnai slowly narrated the construction of the economic and financial system.
The financial aspects included banks, insurance, and investment and financing institutions. On the economic side, the Great Wilderness Citizen Bank was also established for macrocontrol of the market.
In these three years, Xiangnai had also been in control of financial authority.
However, Lin Ke was not worried at all, granting her full power.
Xiangnai knew that if she betrayed him, Lin Ke could fully support the Goddess of Wealth.
With the Insomnia Emperor backing Lin Ke, no one dared to make a move.
Besides, Xiangnai wouldn’t betray Lin Ke.
After all, when Lin Ke turned her over, it was equivalent to saving her in a way.
There were many intricacies involved, but she didn’t reveal them to Lin Ke, allowing him to think it was his knowledge that paid off, when in truth, it wasn’t.
Therefore, Xiangnai, who had been an orphan since childhood, would never betray Lin Ke.
"...That’s the general situation." Xiangnai concluded her report.
Everyone else hadn’t yet recovered from the shock.
"So... we are this wealthy?" Granny Hisai said blankly.
Just now, Xiangnai’s report had covered almost all aspects of the financial situation of Great Wilderness City.
Trade imports and exports, gold, silver coin exchange, total bank deposits, lottery...
In almost every aspect, wealth was measured in units of tens of thousands or billions.
Even Lin Ke was slightly surprised.
The combined economic and financial statistics of Great Wilderness City and Azanen Territory were almost comparable to those of the top-ranking nations of his previous life.
It must be said that where there are professionals, the flow of funds becomes much faster.
Seeing the surprised expressions of everyone, Xiangnai was quite proud, as this result was also due to her coordination and leadership.
"Not bad, it seems you’ve understood ’Macroeconomics’ and ’Microeconomics’. I’ll write up ’Financial Studies’, ’Banking’, ’Stocks’ quickly for you." Lin Ke nodded slightly, feeling invigorated.
Having money allows for many investments.
With money, you can also conduct a lot of research and development.
In short, with money and stable external communication, it means the Great Wilderness can become stronger and wealthier!
"Good," Xiangnai was slightly pleased to hear Lin Ke’s words.
Lin Ke then turned to the others, "We also need to write ’Physics’, ’Chemistry’, ’Mathematics’, etc."
The current Great Library has a fantastic shell but lacks the corresponding content, and it’s time to fill it up.
"Lin Ke, the Engineering Department doesn’t have much going on, but we’ve been continuously expanding and refurbishing Great Wilderness City," Vilune’s report was brief and simple, but he also made his request, "However, I’m applying to replace the building materials for the wonders, they’re too fragile!"
This was not only a report but also an opportunity to make requests and demands to Lin Ke.
Resources they couldn’t find might be easily found by Lin Ke.
