God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 389: A Whole Lot of People Getting Worried

Even the weakened version of legendary magic unleashed terrifying power.

When the flames in the sky gradually faded, when the scorching fire disappeared, all the black dots detected by the magic conductors had vanished completely.

Facing such terrifying magic conductor shells, no matter how many ice spirits there were, they all seemed utterly defenseless.

The livestream audience watched this scene, unable to speak for a long time.

In the Gray Fort Empire’s palace.

The ministers watched this scene through Magic Net projectors, every single one of them stunned.

Not long ago, the Gray Fort Emperor had summoned all the ministers to the palace. Everyone was watching this war together, analyzing the Church of Technology, deciding what should happen with the Church of Technology inside the Gray Fort Empire in the future.

But they never expected to see such a shocking situation.

Magic conductors had actually developed to this level.

Did that mean that as long as you had money, anyone could become a legendary magician?

After all, they could use the same legendary magic that legendary magicians could use.

The Gray Fort Emperor watched the projection in silence for a long time before turning his gaze to the ministers.

"What do you all think?"

Silence.

Total silence in the meeting room.

After quite a while, a minister finally stood up: "The Church of Technology’s magic conductors and combat power have indeed exceeded our expectations, but I think we don’t need to worry too much about this."

"The Church of Technology is actually a pretty loose church. Pretty much everyone uses their Magic Net, and pretty much everyone will use the Magic Net in the future and pray to Him. But what percentage are actual believers and fanatics?"

"I’m afraid some small churches, like the Church of Shepherding, probably have more fanatics than the God of Technology has."

"Sure, the Church of Technology’s combat power is getting scarier and scarier, but they have no reason to go to war with anyone! What we’re worried about is basically just Roster territory being in the Kingdom of Dawn. That’s it."

"But Viscount Roster is all about doing business with his doors wide open. What can’t we buy from him? We can stock up on plenty of these legendary-level magic conductors too."

"Viscount Roster is a pure person. His only ambition is developing the Church of Technology. So I think the situation isn’t as bad as we’re imagining."

"We could even work with him in the future, establish production facilities for these magic conductor devices inside our Gray Empire. That’s not impossible..."

The speaker was the Gray Fort Empire’s Finance Minister.

In the Gray Fort Empire, he was definitely one of the top few people.

His words naturally carried weight for a lot of people.

Thinking it over carefully, it kind of made sense.

What kind of person was Viscount Roster? Just do a quick search on the Magic Net and you’d know—his whole focus was development, innovation, innovation, development. He had absolutely zero interest in war or anything like that.

As long as they didn’t provoke him, couldn’t they all just get along peacefully?

Maybe they could even partner up to build a factory to produce this stuff.

That guy ’Tricky Coin’ Al wasn’t already partnering with Roster territory planning to build a magic conductor vehicle factory?

The deal was pretty much set.

"But the problem is, how can we be sure other people won’t buy these magic conductors to cause trouble? And also, if Roster territory produces a lot of magic conductor weapons, will they start wars just to sell weapons?"

Just when everyone was basically ready to relax, a middle-aged man in armor stood up:

"For profit, people will do just about anything. I don’t think anyone would find that strange, right? There are plenty of merchants who’ve done unimaginable things for profit."

The general’s words made the entire meeting room go quiet.

For a moment, it seemed like a lot of people didn’t know what to say.

But right then, the Gray Fort Emperor spoke up: "This issue doesn’t need worrying about for now. Actually, the reason the Church of Technology went into that place full of ice spirits at this time is because the Church of Technology needs to train their troops."

"The purpose of the training is to enter the Tulip Kingdom."

"Bottom line, as long as everyone doesn’t block the magic-tech industrialization process, the Church of Technology’s army is neutral. Just like any other church, the god loves all people. The God of Technology, especially."

Since His Majesty the Emperor had already spoken, even if the others had thoughts, they didn’t dare talk back.

Though this silence didn’t last very long.

Soon, another voice spoke up: "I have another question here. No matter the reason, no matter whether Roster territory will actually conflict with us or not, no matter whether the Church of Technology will launch military attacks against us, I think right now those aren’t the most important things. The most important thing is, what if Roster territory runs short on materials? What happens then?"

"Making weapons requires money and materials. Roster territory definitely makes a lot of money, but according to what you said, they’re going north of the watch wall to train troops, which requires endless resources. And when they enter the Tulip Kingdom in the future, who knows what they’ll do, but the costs probably won’t be small either, right?"

"The Tulip Kingdom has a lot of magicians, sure, but ultimately their area and population are pretty small. Having them cover the Church of Technology’s operational expenses, or maybe they’re the very existence the Church of Technology wants to wipe out—how much would all that cost?"

"Without a doubt, all of this requires Viscount Roster to provide. What would Viscount Roster do if he runs short on money? What would he do if he lacks materials?"

"You guys just said Viscount Roster’s biggest goal is developing the Church of Technology. Development requires gold coins!"

The ministers fell into silence.

How could they not know about all these problems?

But they couldn’t think of a way to solve them!

They did have a lot of legendary magicians. Aside from the Tulip Kingdom, no other human territory’s legendary magicians could match the Gray Fort Empire.

But could such an army resist those tech combat clerics they just saw? 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

They were just looking for an excuse to comfort themselves.

Hadn’t the Church of Technology already passed by several times without coming in?!

"That’s because you don’t understand magic-tech industrialization."

Right then, ’Tricky Coin’ Al stood up: "If you understood the magic-tech industrialization Viscount Roster proposed, knew their development logic, knew their economic operating system, you wouldn’t have these worries."

"I don’t know exactly what Viscount Roster wants to do, but I can say for sure that the war in the north and the war news coming from the Tulip Kingdom won’t cause any problems for Roster territory’s economic order at all."

"In fact, the massive investment in weapons will make Roster territory earn even more money and get more people working hard to adapt to the magic-tech industrialization pace."

"If nothing goes wrong, when this war ends, the two areas Viscount Roster manages will completely finish the magic-tech industrialization transformation and train countless workers!"
