The talent crystal model could be provided by the Wizard’s organization.

Constructing the talent crystal model could be accelerated by taking construction potions.

Even for an upper-level talent crystal model, with sufficient construction potions, it could be constructed in a year or two at most.

Only the step of filling spiritual power required a long time, a complete process of grinding.

Indeed, there were many items like the Spirit Pearl that could speed up the recovery of spiritual power.

However, these resources were exceptionally precious and difficult to obtain without exception.

Even if a little could be obtained, it was just a drop in the bucket and could not significantly shorten the time consumed in filling spiritual power.

When Su Nan had searched the entire Starlight Tower, he had only obtained more than ten Spirit Pearls. Even after using them all, he had only filled less than 30% of his spiritual power.

That was why he had come to Lise, hoping she might have a solution.

But to his disappointment, Lise thought for a while and shook her head.

“Sorry, given the current state of the Starlight Continent, I can’t think of any feasible methods.”

“.Indeed.”

Su Nan sighed inwardly.

In that case, he could only think of ways to continue strengthening the elemental pool.

If he could synthesize a large-scale elemental pool, his spiritual power recovery speed should increase significantly.

With a plan in mind, Su Nan stopped dwelling on this matter and looked at the desk. Upon seeing the words written on the paper, his expression slightly changed.

“Increase the output of secondary magic stones?”

Lise didn’t hide it, saying, “The current output of secondary magic stones in the Star Alliance is not enough to support the rapid popularization of sub-magic energy technology. If we can find a way to improve this, it will be very beneficial to the development of the Starlight Continent.”

Su Nan nodded knowingly, asking, “Do you have any good ideas?”

“There are some, but the conditions on the Starlight Continent are too harsh, and many measures cannot be implemented.”

“Tell me.” Su Nan became interested.

“For example, artificially cultivating secondary magic stone veins.”

Lise’s clear and pleasant voice echoed softly in the study.

“Magic stone veins are formed by elemental energy undergoing long-term sedimentation, natural purification, and crystallization. This process is long, complex, and requires harsh conditions, so it is difficult to artificially create. Even half-planes built by True Spirit Wizards often cannot form magic stone veins.”

“But secondary magic stone veins are different. Their formation conditions are much simpler and can be artificially intervened to form.”

“In fact, this technology was invented in my time, but at that time, there were numerous magic stone veins, and wizards had little demand for secondary magic stones. So, few wizard forces paid attention to this technology. The Starfall Society happened to be one of them.”

Su Nan’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, if it were during the heyday of wizards, the significance of artificially cultivating secondary magic stone veins would not be great.

If the demand was not high, it would be easier to directly manufacture. No one would bother cultivating secondary magic stone veins.

But now it was different. The importance of secondary magic stone veins to the Starlight Continent was self-evident.

If there were enough secondary magic stone veins, not only could sub-magic energy technology be rapidly popularized and promoted, but it could also free up some of the Star Light Academy’s productivity, allowing the productivity of manufacturing secondary magic stones to be used to increase the output of other materials.

A win-win situation!

“What conditions are required for artificially cultivating secondary magic stone veins?”

“There are two main ones: earth vein nodes and magic stone mother.”

Lise stretched out her hand, and a roll of parchment on the bookshelf floated up and landed on the desk, automatically unfolding to both sides.

It was a map of the Starlight Continent.

Thirty or forty places were marked with red lines.

“I have set up a mission to find earth vein nodes at the Star Light Academy. These thirty-six locations are earth vein nodes that have been discovered over the years. Their energy richness is not inferior to the Shining Light City No. 1 base. They can be used to cultivate secondary magic stone veins.”

“However, the earth vein node problem is easy to solve, but the magic stone mother is not.”

“Magic stone mother is a companion substance of magic stones. It usually appears in small amounts in a large magic stone vein. This thing is invaluable and is a necessary material for making elemental furnaces.”

“The Starlight Continent definitely won’t be able to find magic stone mother.”

Lise sighed.

The Starlight Continent couldn’t even find a small magic stone vein, let alone a large one.

A skilled cook is helpless without rice, and without magic stone mother, even if the technology was perfect and the earth vein node energy was abundant, secondary magic stone veins could not be cultivated.

But as she looked up at Su Nan, she was surprised to find that he did not show any disappointment. Instead, he had a thoughtful expression.

“The name ‘magic stone mother’ sounds like a highly condensed crystal of magic stone essence?” Su Nan suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Lise was taken aback and thought for a moment, saying, “That’s a reasonable interpretation.”

Su Nan revealed a meaningful smile.

“I understand. Let’s put this aside for now. I’ll think about a solution.”

Lise glanced at Su Nan in confusion, completely baffled.

How could he solve this?

Unless he could conjure up several pieces of magic stone mother, the secondary magic stone vein project wouldn’t be able to start.

But Su Nan didn’t intend to explain further and changed the subject, asking, “Is work going smoothly lately?”

“So far, so good.” Lise nodded calmly.

Initially, when she took over the Star Alliance’s affairs, Carolena and Red Widow had made many secret moves.

But she didn’t care.

No matter how many secret moves Carolena and Red Widow made, they wouldn’t dare openly harm the interests of the Star Alliance.

This wasn’t because they had a sense of the big picture, but because the soul contract restricted them from doing so.

Therefore, she didn’t need to play mind games with them. She just needed to focus on managing the Star Alliance well, smoothly implementing development plans one by one. As the Star Alliance grew stronger, power would gradually fall into her hands, gradually overshadowing the two women.

This was a blatant, straightforward scheme.

By now, Carolena and Red Widow had been completely suppressed by her.

Perhaps they had resigned themselves to fate. The two women’s recent secret moves had noticeably decreased.

Seeing Lise’s calm demeanor, Su Nan didn’t think much of it and smiled, saying, “If you’re too busy, you can find a few assistants.”

“Assistants?”

“Aren’t there people from the Russell family in the Star Light Academy?”

Lise paused for a moment and shook her head, saying, “Forget it. I don’t want the Russell family to know I’m still alive.”

She hadn’t left any descendants in her lifetime. After a thousand years of inheritance, the current Russell family’s blood relation to her had long been diluted to the point of being insignificant. She had long since lost any feelings for them.

Moreover, although Su Nan trusted her and gave her power, he obviously wouldn’t allow her to form factions within the Star Alliance.

She didn’t have such thoughts, but if the Russell family knew she was still alive and had taken over the entire Star Alliance in place of Su Nan, could they resist exploiting this relationship for personal gain?

In that case, even if she didn’t want to, the Russell family would surround her, using her influence to form an internal faction.

While Su Nan was usually easygoing, he would definitely not be lenient if such a situation arose.

Perhaps in the future, the Star Alliance would become a behemoth, and factions would inevitably emerge within it, but any rational controller would not allow this to happen during the initial stage of a force’s development.

This was the main reason Lise didn’t want to get involved with the Russell family.

“You can choose other people,” Su Nan said. “There are quite a few good third-rank wizard apprentices in the academy.”

After Sherman and Corey, other students in the Star Light Academy had successively broken through to become third-rank wizard apprentices.

For example, Atil and Ethan.

Currently, the academy had a total of 23 third-rank wizard apprentices.

As for second-rank wizard apprentices, there were over a thousand.

Lise seemed to be tempted and considered for a moment, saying, “I’ll think about it carefully.”

The Star Alliance’s recent affairs were becoming increasingly numerous. If she could find suitable candidates, she indeed wanted an assistant to help share the workload. She couldn’t rely on those two aliens forever, could she?

Seeing this, Su Nan didn’t press her further and chatted with her for a few more sentences before leaving the study.

He still had to go and verify his idea.

Back in the laboratory, Su Nan immediately requisitioned a batch of secondary magic stones from the warehouse and began synthesizing them.

“Since magic stone mother is a condensed crystal of magic stone essence, theoretically, it should be possible to synthesize it using magic stones.”

“Just like elemental crystal dust and elemental crystal cores.”

Soon, a large pile of upper-level magic stones appeared on the workbench in front of him.

Su Nan then continued to synthesize.

As one magic stone after another was placed in the Magic Cube, the number of energy units in the synthesized magic stone on the interface kept increasing.

When the 203rd magic stone was placed, the word “magic stone” on the synthesis interface suddenly flashed and changed to “lower-level magic crystal”.

“Not magic stone mother?”

Su Nan frowned slightly, thinking for a moment and continuing to place magic stones.

As the number of magic stones placed increased, the lower-level magic crystal quickly became a middle-level magic crystal, and then an upper-level magic crystal.

During this time, the number of upper-level magic stones ran out, and Su Nan had to synthesize a new batch and continue placing them in the Magic Cube.

After an unknown amount of time, when Su Nan thought that his guess was wrong and magic stones could not be synthesized into magic stone mother, the synthesis interface suddenly changed, and the words he had been anticipating finally appeared.

[Magic stone mother, purity 8.29%, a crystal containing a large amount of energy, can be used to manufacture the core of an energy supply device.]

“Finally succeeded!”

Su Nan let out a long sigh of relief, a look of joy on his face.

He almost thought his guess was wrong.

Fortunately, he had finally synthesized the magic stone mother.

This made it possible to cultivate secondary magic stone veins.

“I wonder if magic stone mother with a purity of 8.29% is enough.”

Needless to say, the higher the purity of magic stone mother used to cultivate secondary magic stone veins, the better.

Su Nan didn’t hesitate. He requisitioned a large amount of secondary magic stones from the warehouse and began the tedious synthesis process.

It wasn’t until later, when he had added hundreds of upper-level magic stones, and the purity of the magic stone mother had only increased by 0.01%, that he stopped synthesizing.

By now, the purity of the magic stone mother had reached 25.37%.

The cost was over 2.8 million secondary magic stones!

Almost all of the secondary magic stones stored by the Star Alliance had been consumed by him.

“The cost of one secondary magic stone is 12 silver coins. Over 2.8 million is over 300,000 gold coins.”

“The cost is acceptable.”

A secret puppet cost over 400,000 gold coins, and 300,000 gold coins in exchange for a piece of magic stone mother was quite a bargain in Su Nan’s view.

However, Lise soon came knocking.

“Su Nan, what did you do with all those secondary magic stones?”

Lise’s face was full of confusion.

Just now, she learned that Su Nan had requisitioned all the secondary magic stones from dozens of warehouses in the Star Alliance.

More than half of them were newly acquired and were about to be allocated to various cities in the Star Empire for trade as energy.

This would lead to a shortage of energy for magic energy machines in various parts of the Star Empire for a period of time.

Of course, Lise wasn’t blaming Su Nan.

The Star Alliance was Su Nan’s property. He had the right to do whatever he wanted with it.

Lise didn’t care about the complaints of a mere group of merchants and nobles.

She was just curious why Su Nan suddenly needed so many secondary magic stones?

“You’re here just in time. There’s something I want to show you.”

Su Nan smiled slightly and opened his palm, displaying what he held in his hand to Lise.

Upon seeing what it was, Lise’s eyes widened in shock, and her usually calm face showed a mixture of astonishment and disbelief.

“Magic stone mother!”

“How did you get this?”

Lise looked at Su Nan in astonishment.

She had just finished talking to Su Nan about secondary magic stone veins, and now he was taking out magic stone mother. This was simply unbelievable!

Thinking back to Su Nan’s previous questions and the fact that he had requisitioned a large amount of secondary magic stones, Lise couldn’t help but think of an astonishing idea – could this magic stone mother have been manufactured by Su Nan himself?

No, impossible!

Magic stone mother couldn’t be artificially manufactured!

To this day, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to manufacture magic stone mother! freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Wait!

Lise suddenly realized that she had been wondering where the Star Alliance’s magic stones came from. At first, she thought they had a magic stone vein, but after taking over the Star Alliance, she realized that there was no such thing.

The ultimate source of all the magic stones was Su Nan’s wizard tower!

Now that she thought about it, could these magic stones have also been manufactured by Su Nan?

The technology to artificially manufacture magic stones and magic stone mother?

Su Nan actually possessed this unprecedented technology!

Lise became increasingly convinced of her guess, and her heart was filled with shock.

If this was true, it would be truly extraordinary!

Magic stones were one thing, but magic stone mother was a key material for many energy supply devices.

If he had the technology to manufacture magic stone mother, he could make a fortune just by selling magic stone mother – assuming the dimensional barrier was restored.

Compared to this, a mere 2.8 million secondary magic stones seemed insignificant.

Staring intently at Su Nan, Lise’s gaze was particularly complex.

How many more secrets did Su Nan hold?

Without directly answering Lise’s question, Su Nan gestured for her to focus on the magic stone mother.

“Is this piece of magic stone mother enough?”

Lise calmed down, used the Master’s Hand to transfer the magic stone mother in front of her, and carefully observed it for a while, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

“The purity of this magic stone mother is very high. It’s more than enough to cultivate a large secondary magic stone vein, and it can also shorten the time considerably.”

“How long will it take?”

Lise thought for a moment and pondered, “Probably 300 to 400 years.”

Su Nan frowned slightly, but then he thought about the fact that the formation time of normal magic stone veins was measured in millions of years. In comparison, it was already quite good that secondary magic stone veins only took a maximum of 400 years.

This was because secondary magic stones required less energy, and there was artificial intervention. Otherwise, the time required to form a vein would also be a huge number.

“How long does it take for a small secondary magic stone vein to form?”

“About 150 to 200 years.”

“In that case, if we cultivate several secondary magic stone veins of different sizes simultaneously, creating staggered differences in time, the problem of insufficient secondary magic stone output will be significantly improved within 200 years at most.”

Lise thought about it and also felt that this was the best plan.

There were many earth vein nodes on the Starlight Continent. As long as there was enough magic stone mother, cultivating 20 or 30 secondary magic stone veins wouldn’t be a problem.

In a few words, Su Nan and Lise finalized the general details of the plan, which was named the Vein Cultivation Project.

This was the second massive project plan for the Star Alliance after the Teleportation Network Plan, and it would span several hundred years. (End of Chapter)
