Chapter 998: Chapter 996: Recomndation
Long i’er noted Richard’s expression, looked over, and said calmly, “I know, Wizard Richard, you must be feeling a bit dissatisfied inside, thinking my thods are unreasonable, as if I’m deliberately deceiving you. If you really think that, then continue to think that way, I don’t mind, but I won’t change because of it. Because this ti, I’m not going to reason.”
Saying this, Long i’er lifted the head of the dead magic wolf beside him, took a look, then threw it to the ground, pointed at it and said, “Just like this dead ‘Undead Wolf,’ I didn’t reason with it but told it with direct action, even though its na is ‘Undead Wolf,’ when it’s ti to die, it must die.
You know, reasoning is a choice. Sotis you can choose to reason, and other tis you can choose to use force. If you are strong enough, strong enough that I can’t defeat you with force, then I can only reason with you gently, agree to your demands…”
“No.” Long i’er shook his head at this point, glanced at Richard, and corrected himself, “No, it’s not about being unable to defeat with force, but as long as you can injure a bit, let see that you have enough strength and qualification, I can agree to your unreasonable demands, even assist you.
However, you don’t have that strength. You think you’re strong, think your research has promise, think your confidence is justified, but it’s all an illusion. You are actually not strong, your research has no prospect, your confidence is wrong from start to finish—wrong to an absurd degree.
The reason is entirely because your position is too low, your perspective is too close, your understanding of this world is too limited. Like a fish living in a puddle, thinking the world is as big as the puddle because it’s only that big, but the world is far larger than you can imagine.
Wizard Richard, believe , I’m not belittling you, just stating facts. What you understand now is really limited, so even if I really reasoned with you, I wouldn’t make it clear—you will only believe the truth once you experience it personally. But the truth is too heavy and has repeated too many tis, so I don’t want you to repeat it again, I’ve chosen to stop you now.”
Richard’s brow continued to furrow; he could sense an unfeigned sincerity in Long i’er’s words, but the more he did, the more uncomfortable he beca.
What Long i’er said could actually be simply summarized in one sentence: You know nothing, I’m doing it for your own good.
Yet so many things beco twisted under the guise of this sentence.
At this mont, Long i’er spoke again, as if announcing the final verdict: “Wizard Richard, you should stop insisting, listen to , stop your research, and spend ti on things more aningful. After all, you are only a peripheral mber now, and you really don’t know much about the organization or the world.
Once you beco a core mber, if you still insist on your research, then I can give you another chance to talk, how about that?”
Richard’s eyes flashed, thoughts swirling, all the efforts made to complete the nuclear weapon research and manufacturing plan surfaced in his mind.
From discovering residual radiation to identifying the mine, to large-scale mining of ore, to dealing with Inspector Chikafu’s disruption, to refining uranium elents, to separating uranium elents, to testing different separation thods, and to continuously filling the energy gaps…
It’s safe to say he’s co too far down this road, so it’s not sothing that can be abandoned just by saying so.
Besides, he’s not sure how much Long i’er knows about his research, but he’s very certain this path can succeed. Even if it really can’t, it doesn’t matter. Because one of the most important purposes of this plan is to conduct experints and study the micro-particle status of the current world. So regardless of the outco, a result must be obtained.
Therefore, this plan must not be abandoned.
Even if he really can’t get the third Void Book, and the solution to the energy gap is temporarily unresolved, requiring many efforts to be overturned and started over, it must continue. The mining of ores in the mine must continue, the uranium mine must continue to be refined, Uranium 235 must continue to be separated.
The plan can have small setbacks, can even completely abandon the shortcut of obtaining help from the Truth Society, but the process must be continued.
“Phew—”
Exhaling deeply, Richard looked at Long i’er, already decided to outwardly agree with him, to abandon the third Void Book, seeking alternative thods to complete the nuclear weapon research and manufacturing plan. Anyway, as long as the mine continuously produces uranium materials and has Eden’s processing system support, it will eventually succeed.
Who knew, as he was about to speak, Long i’er beat him to it.
Long i’er seed to have thought of sothing again, speaking lightly, “By the way, Wizard Richard, shut down your mine too.
Yes, the mine that Inspector Chikafu investigated earlier, shut it down, and stop mining and researching those ores that you ntioned having erosive energy—although Inspector Chikafu’s matter has temporarily passed, it still needs attention. Besides, your research on those ores should be pointless; after all, they are just ores.
I suggest you focus your energy on spell and magic rune research, especially magic runes. Magic runes are the future of this world, mastering them ans mastering everything.”
Shut down the mine? Research spells, magic runes?
Hearing these words, Richard’s gaze suddenly tightened, his breath paused.
Shut down the mine?
This would completely block the path to his nuclear weapon research and manufacturing plan from the source.
If it’s just an energy problem, he can try other thods to solve it, but the raw material issue is different, due to the scarcity of uranium mines, he has no confidence in finding a substitute in the short term. Indeed, he placed Annie Pampou as a pawn to help search, but under normal circumstances, she is unlikely to return any effective uranium mine clues within a few years.
This is quite fatal to him.
No, not just quite fatal, but extrely fatal.
In an instant, he suddenly regretted seeking out Long i’er. After all, if he hadn’t sought out Long i’er, things wouldn’t have worsened to this degree. But soon, he adjusted his mindset and understood the key issue was not whether he sought out Long i’er, but Long i’er’s attitude.
If Long i’er truly wanted to stop him, even if he hadn’t sought him out, he would still have sought him.
“Phew—ah—”
Taking a deep breath, Richard showed an extrely serious expression, looked at Long i’er and asked, “Shut down the mine, research spells, magic runes, are these your supervisor’s suggestions?”
If it’s a suggestion, that ans there’s room for negotiation. If it’s not… then it’s really troubleso.
