This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 622 - 554: Take This Race Away!
"Congratulations, Uncle!"
Lin Ke pounded his chest and added, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The first sentence was because he was the son-in-law of the Insomnia Emperor, and the second was because he was the Duke of Lava in the Black and White Kingdom.
The Insomnia Emperor laughed heartily, looking thoroughly pleased: "What's there to congratulate? It's just a mere level thirty, hahaha, hehe, hahaha!"
Lin Ke also gave a helpless smile: "But that's level thirty! Uncle, throughout history, there haven't been many who could reach this level."
"Is that so? Haha!" The Insomnia Emperor was delighted, then patted Lin Ke's shoulder: "You're quite good yourself, young man! Are you about to break through the Law Body recently? Haha, oh dear! You're a bit under-equipped! Come, take these, use them well."
As he spoke, the Insomnia Emperor produced a set of dazzling golden noble armor, a divine artifact with his own aura, as if it was personally nurtured by him.
"This..." Lin Ke was stunned.
Why suddenly start giving him things?
Just for saying a few good words?
Thus, Lin Ke first accepted the armor, then tentatively said, "Uncle, I see you looking especially handsome and majestic today, perhaps it's not just about reaching level thirty? After all, for someone as wise and powerful as you, reaching level thirty is as simple as sneezing."
Hearing this, the Insomnia Emperor's eyes shone brightly, his delight growing beyond measure, and he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, am I really that majestic? Hmm, maybe a little... Right, dear son-in-law, you're looking quite well lately! Here, I've been exploring some new dimensions, let me give you a couple of Dominator-level divine formats to play with."
As he spoke, the Insomnia Emperor casually tossed two sparkling divine formats, one black and one purple.
Lin Ke hurriedly caught them, his hands trembling.
Dominator-level divine formats?!
Lin Ke swallowed hard, and in the blink of an eye stuffed the divine formats into his space ring, saying, "Truly worthy, Uncle! Dominator-level divine formats are like wild grass by the roadside, given away so casually. But considering your status, Uncle, it makes sense, as only gifts of this stature have the right flair! Truly, you're the pillar of Naseng—calm as the sea, a pillar of the sky, a sword of dawn..."
"How long are you going to keep praising him?"
However, just as the Insomnia Emperor was about to be beyond delighted, a woman's voice came through.
They both turned to see the Five-Colored Dragon Mother tearing open a rift in the Star Realm, looking at the two of them with a kindly smile.
"Uncle!"
"Wife!"
The two shouted almost simultaneously, both with a sheepish look.
The Five-Colored Dragon Mother said with mild exasperation, "Better take those things and head back." Saying so, she pointed to the mass of material left behind by the deceased Dominator in the distance.
With that, she tore open a rift and left again.
Leaving behind a silent Lin Ke and the Insomnia Emperor.
Exchanging glances, they each found the other's embarrassment.
Lin Ke was the first to speak: "Uncle, how about I return the gifts just now?"
Making way by retreating!
The Insomnia Emperor waved it off: "No need to return, take them and use them well, if it's not enough there's more... By the way, we should head back, lad, is there anything else you need help with?"
The Insomnia Emperor asked as he retrieved the material, looking at Lin Ke.
He was referring to Lin Ke's secret infiltration into the Holy Life Alliance.
Secretly infiltrating the Holy Life Alliance, Lin Ke discovered the Foxmen conducting a bloody ritual and subsequently transformed into Gandalf to ambush the Bloodthirsty and Deceitful Fox, leading to all these subsequent events.
But the Insomnia Emperor did not know the reason for Lin Ke's infiltration of the Holy Life Alliance.
"Mineral veins." Lin Ke answered while resisting the chaotic currents of the Star Realm, finding this resistance much easier than the last time when the Dark Maiden had helped him out.
"The Holy Life Alliance has countless mineral veins, but most intelligent races and tribes don't know how to mine them, simply using them to create swords and blades... It's a waste!"
Lin Ke explained slowly, causing the Insomnia Emperor's eye to twitch.
"I've heard that Bald Jack, is he a [Capitalist]?" The Insomnia Emperor glanced at Lin Ke.
"It's about the reasonable use of resources." Lin Ke met the Insomnia Emperor's eyes without fear: "We have external threats! While external enemies are watching, we must use all available resources and leverage all possible forces to resist and eliminate the enemy."
"And at such a moment, whether it's better to use one resource to get two spears, or use one resource to get thousands of more powerful weapons, is a clear answer..."
Lin Ke was undeterred.
Like in the former world, if uranium was discovered, whether using it to make swords and knives was more efficient at killing, or making atomic bombs was more efficient, was unquestionable.
And now, Lin Ke needed those mineral veins.
Whether for university research, analyzing various substances, or creating more advanced and powerful weapons, or for production and manufacture, they all had worth.
Creating swords and knives, be it iron, steel, or stone, uses merely two aspects: hardness and sharpness, though different materials create different impacts.
But whether it's iron or steel, gold or fertilizer rock, they all have many other uses.
Gold's properties, iron, and steel's properties all have various uses, the same goes for fertilizer rock.
Just like in the past world, everyone could farm, though the efficiency differs, and everyone pursued the best farmer.
But Lin Ke, or most knowledgeable ones, believed everyone has their own niches, and every material and element has its unique properties.
Not everyone can only farm, meaning not all minerals are for making swords and knives.
Those mineral veins should have broader applications.
After hearing Lin Ke's words, the Insomnia Emperor understood the reasoning, but still chuckled: "Are you sure those mineral veins can produce better results in your hands?"
"I'm sure." Lin Ke nodded: "Granny Hisai's periodic table of elements isn't complete yet, Teacher Ove's electromagnetic experiments and superconducting research have hit bottlenecks, Duke Odyssey's material ductility and density experiments also need..."
"Stop, stop!"
The Insomnia Emperor rubbed his forehead, helplessly saying: "Alright, then I'll assist you to get more mineral veins!"
"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Ke was delighted; asking for help from the Insomnia Emperor was one thing, but him offering to step in was another.
After all, he was a father-in-law, not a father, and couldn't demand randomly; admittedly, even from a biological father, one can't make indiscriminate demands.
"Anything else you need?" The Insomnia Emperor asked politely, then saw the gleam in Lin Ke's eyes and immediately regretted the question.
"Well, not a need per se, just a suggestion." Lin Ke grinned: "Don't you think there are too few other races in the Black and White Kingdom, Uncle? The world needs diversity... How about bringing a few more races into the kingdom?"
