"Has there been a new breakthrough with the large Energy Furnace?"

When he saw the words Ernie had described earlier, he was quite pleased. However, upon seeing the sentence about temporarily halting research on the small Energy Furnace to first focus on the large Energy Furnace, the smile on his face instantly vanished, and his brow furrowed.

The research on the small Energy Furnace is crucial to the birth of the Mechanical Wizard, which is currently one of the most pressing issues for the Wizard Alliance.

Even though the large Energy Furnace concerns the Abyss Territory, its importance absolutely cannot compare to the Mechanical Wizard.

He immediately shut off the report and found Ernie's contact number to dial in.

...

Energy Furnace Research Institute, Director's Office.

Over forty light screens were arranged in front of Ernie, bustling with activity.

This was because too many legislators were seeking information from him at the same time, so he directly initiated a micro-conference room.

"I believe that with Legislator Ernie's talent, it will take at most another 300 years to develop a Fourth Ring large Energy Furnace."

"Yes, in about 500 years, a Fifth Ring large Energy Furnace could also be developed."

"Hahaha, I agree."

One by one, the legislators were praising Ernie, hoping he would focus all his thoughts on researching the large Energy Furnace.

As for the reason, well, almost all these guys had exchanged their merits for large tracts of Abyss Territory, waiting for Ernie to develop the large Energy Furnace so they could gain large areas suitable for mortal habitation.

When it comes to matters of interest, how can one not pay attention?

"You flatter me, gentlemen. I can't guarantee exactly when the research for the Fifth Ring large Energy Furnace will be completed," Ernie said with a smile. "But for the Fourth Ring, if I dedicate myself to the research, it should be possible within a hundred years."

The large Energy Furnace had just reached a breakthrough, and he already had some ideas about the subsequent experiments.

These ideas stem from additional findings during the research of the small Energy Furnace, by analogical reasoning.

"No wonder you are Legislator Ernie."

"Impressive!"

"I think we should hold a banquet to celebrate this good news."

"Great idea!"

...

The legislators started to praise even louder, making Ernie a bit elated.

Just then, another communication request came through.

Ernie didn't even look; he directly connected and casually said, "I've decided to set aside the small Energy Furnace for now and focus on researching..."

His words came to an abrupt stop, as he discovered the person entering the conference room was none other than Speaker Francis.

"Greetings to Speaker Francis." Ernie immediately stood up from his chair and bowed towards Francis.

"Greetings to Speaker Francis."

"Greetings..."

The other legislators, seeing this, also stood up and bowed towards the direction of Francis's light screen.

"Good." Francis nodded, glancing at nearly fifty light screens, finally looking at Ernie, saying in a deep voice, "Ernie, pause the large Energy Furnace work; I need you to complete the optimization of the small Energy Furnace."

"Speaker Lor has long solved the space expansion issue of the small Energy Furnace; I don't want you to lag too far behind."

"What?"

"This..."

The legislators all showed expressions of confusion, but they didn't dare oppose, feeling particularly suffocated one by one.

They truly couldn't understand why Francis valued the small Energy Furnace so much when the benefits from the large Energy Furnace's success were visibly tangible.

Considering this one's Abyss Territory, it would undoubtedly be the largest beneficiary of the large Energy Furnace project's success.

"Yes, Speaker Francis." Ernie ignored the complaining legislators and responded immediately, "I will delay research on the large Energy Furnace and focus on optimizing the small Energy Furnace first."

The authority of the Speaker is beyond question, especially this speaker named Francis.

"Good." Francis nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the other legislators' light screens, "If any of you have objections to my decision, you can unite a hundred legislators or have any speaker request to initiate an emergency assembly to vote on whether to suspend the optimization of the small Energy Furnace."

Silence.

Deathly silence.

After Francis said this, not a single legislator dared to make a sound.

They had completely understood Francis's stance, knowing this matter would absolutely not be overturned.

As for applying for an emergency assembly...

The precedent set by those Faith Wizards a thousand years ago was right there, and long before that, this one was not above killing wizards.

Nobody dared to treat this speaker as a pushover, and naturally, nobody dared to take the talk of an emergency assembly seriously.

Ernie, looking at the silent legislators, felt quite fortunate he hadn't become arrogant in front of Speaker Francis, or the consequences would have been unpredictable.

...

Wizard Calendar Year 980, August 15th.

On the top floor of the Lor Wizard Tower in Betula Continent, in a cultivation room.

"Thirty years of time, finally completed the fusion of Spatial Marking Witchcraft and Space Jumping Witchcraft." Lor opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, feeling good.

With the new Space Jumping Witchcraft, his life-saving ability was once again significantly enhanced.

In the future, after integrating Space Penetration Witchcraft into it, as long as a mark is left in advance, one can instantly arrive within the Plane Group.

Besides that, starting the Plane Era will also require using this witchcraft.

"Hopefully, within 500 years, the young ones can piece together the Spatial Penetration Rune." Lor was filled with expectations.

He opened the 'Space Rune Supplementary Details and Evaluation' category to take a look; currently, there are over ten space runes with assembling progress over ninety percent, and over thirty with assembling progress over eighty.

If the Space Penetration Rune is among these incomplete runes, it won't be long before the young ones uncover it.
