Chapter 293

"Respected Your Majesty:"

"Three months have passed since we last met, and I miss you very much. I am writing to you presumptuously, and I hope you will not blame me."

Sophia curled her lips. The wording was quite exquisite. But if he really missed her, why did he only write a letter after three months? What was he doing before?

Sure enough, after a polite remark, Murphy immediately got to the point.

"Perhaps you have already heard, but according to the agreement, I still have to report to you that I intend to build a magic research laboratory within the Soviet Union. Because it involves magic matters, I hope you are aware."

Sophia's eyes lit up. She was just about to ask him about this laboratory, and he mentioned it himself. He was quite sensible.

"The so-called magic research laboratory is a national-level large-scale research institution, with the purpose of comprehensively promoting the process of studying magic with scientific methods."

"This will be the most systematic magic research institution. In my vision, the magic research laboratory will include at least several branch institutions such as basic magic theory, transfiguration, spells, potions, wands and magic tools, magical creatures, and magic plants. Each branch institution will have a large number of topics and research groups."

"Including but not limited to, transfiguration, spellcasting, death and soul, mind, and many other topics."

"In addition to these basic studies, we have also set up some research topics with very practical value. For example, we have opened a special laboratory to study the plant growth-promoting effect of Moon-Obsessed Beast excrement. This topic has hope of improving the food problem in the Soviet Union."

"Also, we have specially opened a celestial magic research group. This research group will study the status quo of the freezing of ports around the Arctic Ocean through celestial magic. If this topic can achieve results, we will have the possibility of opening up the Arctic Ocean international shipping route, thereby completely changing the awkward geopolitical situation of the Soviet Union."

The Arctic Ocean, the ocean that directly connects Asia, Europe, and the Americas. If a year-round ice-free Arctic Ocean shipping route could really be opened, for many ocean-going trades, this would be a route far shorter than the Malacca route, and changing the geopolitical situation of the Soviet Union in one fell swoop was by no means empty talk.

Even if Sophia was not very clear about the international situation of Muggles, she could know the great significance of this to the Soviet Union.

The two examples Murphy gave were both major events concerning the life and death of the Soviet Union. Although Sophia felt it should be very difficult to achieve, she was still shocked by Murphy's vision and pattern.

He had originally said that what he was doing would bring benefits to the Soviet people. Sophia thought it was just a rhetorical device, but now it seemed that he had actually considered it for the Soviet people.

"To help the Soviet Union build this project, the Umbrella Corporation will enter the Soviet Union and provide funding and technical support. It is expected that during the construction of this project, it will create a gross domestic product of nearly two billion rubles, and after completion, it will successively provide 100,000 to 200,000 jobs."

"This is a huge project comparable to the atomic energy plan, but unlike that plan to manufacture weapons, the institute will successively produce technologies that can be used to improve social productivity and improve people's living standards."

"For example, we will develop cheaper and more effective therapeutic potions to improve the health level of the Soviet people."

"We will extend the lifespan of the Soviet people, develop potions that can be used for food production, and solve the status quo that the Soviet Union needs to import food. Develop levitating trains, speed up freight rates, and improve the traffic conditions in the Soviet Union. It is foreseeable that in the future, after we open the fireplace network to Muggle families, it will bring great convenience to people's travel."

"Yes, the magic research laboratory is just a beginning. Greater changes will happen on this land."

"This will be the first magic country in human history to apply magic technology to Muggle society. Our planet will welcome the dawn of magic from here."

Sophia opened her eyes wide. So that was it. This was his idea.

It was truly insanely terrifying, yet it made people yearn for it incomparably.

As a wizard, hiding outside Muggle society and enjoying the secrets of magic alone, although it was also very interesting, this kind of self-entertainment, under such a magnificent picture, seemed too selfish and too small.

Sophia was shocked again by Murphy's grand pattern.

Sure enough, Mr. Darkholm was a madman who wanted to change the world.

However, in another part of her heart, she had to give birth to a sense of admiration.

Although this was a madman-like fantasy, Mr. Murphy seemed to be really working hard in this direction.

Everything he said was so incredible, and the difficulty was simply unimaginable, but he didn't shrink back, let alone fear, but really made plans step by step and executed them in a down-to-earth manner.

What kind of brain and thoughts did this person have?

How was his will, as strong as iron and diamond, produced?

Sophia was full of curiosity about Murphy at this moment.

After a while, she recovered from the future picture described by Murphy and continued to look at the letter in her hand.

"The Magic Research Institute studies magic, so it needs a large number of wizards to help Muggle researchers contact and understand magic."

"Arkaim has many excellent wizards, so I want to borrow one thousand wizards from you to participate in the research project."

"I will pay them wages higher than the market price."

"The results of future magic research will naturally also have Arkaim's shares..."

Sophia: "..."

What's going on? This feeling seems to have changed a bit.

Why is there a taste of fraud in it?

Sophia put down the letter with a complicated mood.

One thousand wizards, that's not too many.

Arkaim's wizard population is close to 50,000, and the number of young wizards is not small. It is not difficult to select one thousand wizards to go out to work.

But she always felt that she was about to be cheated out of something.

Better ask Lady Yaga for her opinion first.

A few days later, Murphy was discussing her learning problems with Lucas.

Murphy found that Lucas's progress in learning knowledge was exaggeratedly fast. She could actually use that diary to directly absorb the content of a book and then become a part of her retrieval memory.

Although she still needed to spend some time reading to understand the content of the book, for some tool-type books, this move could directly save the book into an external hard drive and use it at any time.

"Is there a capacity limit for the diary?" Murphy asked.

"Yes, it can absorb tens of thousands of books, and it will share capacity with my memory. If I save too many scene memories, this capacity will be squeezed."

"What about the retrieval speed?"

"On average, I can finish retrieving a book in half a minute, which is not particularly fast," Lucas said.

Counting a book as 300,000 words, retrieving 300,000 words in 30 seconds, an average of 10,000 words per second. Converted to a computer, it's about 2-3kb per second processing speed. It's really not fast, but this efficiency is far beyond ordinary people.

Uh... this guy is getting better and better as a tool person.

Just as he was considering using her for a few experiments to see if she could help him solve the computing power problem, a wizard came in from outside and handed him a letter.

The coat of arms on the envelope composed of a double-headed eagle and a bear, deer, wolf, and wild boar explained the origin of the letter writer.

Murphy immediately opened the letter.

He saw that only two sentences were written in it.

"Agree to one condition of mine, and I will lend you one thousand wizards."
