I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 398 - 386 Uranium Ore and Divine Grace
"This is a part of the samples sent by the council!" Ailoke said, as he took out a ’stone fragment’ the size of a thumb from his bosom.
At first glance of this item, Lynn couldn’t help standing up from his seat, and with a beckoning gesture of his hand, the ’stone fragment’ started to levitate on its own, drifting in front of him.
’This is... uranium ore?’ Lynn’s face showed an extremely surprised expression, and he quickly recognized it. For peace of mind, he even had the smart brain perform a check, and the result was as he had expected.
It was indeed uranium ore, and it was the refined kind at that, although it had not yet been tested specifically, but the uranium content must be very high!
Natural uranium ore should only contain a few parts per thousand, or even a few parts per ten thousand grams of uranium per gram of the ore...
"Where was this found?" Lynn asked curiously, as naturally formed uranium ore with such high content was very unlikely.
"I heard it was discovered in a mine more than ten kilometers from the capital. The council has already sent people to search for it," Ailoke said excitedly. The discovery of a new element was enough to keep any wizard who was a master of elemental studies awake with excitement, hence some council members set out overnight, ready to inspect the site in person.
"By the way, the person who delivered this ore called it the ’Demon Stone’..." Ailoke relayed all the intelligence he had gathered on the uranium ore.
As for the name ’Demon Stone,’ Lynn was not surprised in the least.
Generally speaking, uranium is a radioactive element with a relatively long half-life, and due to the low concentration of natural uranium ore, its impact on the human body is not significant. However, the ’Demon Stone’ here was different, with extremely high uranium content. If one recklessly carried it on their person for extended periods, they would inevitably be affected by the radiation...
Regarding the magical beast mentioned by Ailoke that feeds on uranium ore, upon hearing about it, Lynn only felt a twitch in his brow. Could this creature be Godzilla?
However, the fact that the miners who extracted the ore had not all been wiped out indicated that the creature might be a non-carnivorous entity...
It must be said that the creatures of the Magic World are truly ferocious...
The hair of the fire lion can withstand high temperatures and is used for lightbulbs, and the bones of the griffin are light yet very tenacious, both being excellent special materials!
"Go and call Orlando and the others over; we’re heading to the laboratory!" Lynn put down the newspaper in his hands; he needed to conduct a test on this ’Demon Stone’!
If it was as he expected, then there was hope for the Big Nuclear Explosion Technique!
...
While the wizards within the capital were jubilant at having discovered a new element,
In the Sekas Empire, the Holy City’s seaport, which is hailed as ’Land of Shining Stars’ and a ’Heaven on Earth,’ the imperial expedition fleet that had been adrift at sea for over a month, finally managed to dock.
Out of the more than three hundred ships that had set out, less than half had returned. The first row of more than ten ships were all badly damaged, even the flagship had a long gash on its hull; it was barely held together by Divine Arts until now.
Such a grim sight shocked the guards at the port, but they all firmly believed that the followers of the Evil God, the minions of demons, had surely been sent to hell, for they are invincible under the watch of the gods!
The cardinal, Jacob, who came to receive them, however, was not so optimistic, for they had already received a secret report just over ten days ago...
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
Edville, who had led a large number of elite troops to exterminate the kingdom’s rebellion, was dead, and the entire expedition army had nearly been annihilated, with less than one ten-thousandth making it out alive.
The entire upper echelon of the church hierarchy was shaken, but the news was so shocking that it was currently under a blockade.
Many people had been counting on the expedition fleet to return in triumph, to wipe out those Wizards’ nests, and to wash away the shame of previous defeats with a great victory!
As Jacob watched one bishop and priest after another descend from the deck with a grim face, he realized that the expedition fleet was likely not bringing back any good news.
A few thoughts flashed through Jacob’s mind, but he still went to greet them immediately, placing his hand on his chest and bowing respectfully.
"Judgement Chief!"
"I want to see the Pope and Her Highness Lucia now, immediately!" the Judgement Chief said, his tone very stern, filled with an unquestionable demand.
"But... both Highnesses are currently presiding over the celebration," Jacob said hesitantly.
Upon hearing the word "celebration", the Judgement Chief paused for a moment, then quickly remembered that today was the Harvester’s Day!
The Holy Scriptures of Genesis record that every year on the seventh day of September, the great Moon Goddess arrives from the heavens to the mortal realm, and she will bestow Divine Arts to bless the entire earth, allowing the sweet fruits to ripen, so that everyone can experience the joy of harvest...
"Then the meeting can wait until after the celebration," the Judgement Chief’s tone immediately softened, as the celebration of Harvester’s Day each year was immensely important and should not be disrupted lightly.
Due to the news blockade, the shadow cast by the kingdom’s rebellion did not affect the holding of the Harvester’s Day celebration.
Hundreds of thousands gathered within the vast Holy City, waiting in front of the towering and majestic Sky Dome Tower!
Rumors said this massive tower was the abode of the Moon Goddess when she descended to earth, built over fifty years and standing over three hundred meters tall. Its spire, shimmering with Divine Radiance, seemed to pierce the heavens and earth like a colossal sword cast by the divine into the mortal world...
Anyone who saw the Sky Dome Tower would be awe-struck by its grandeur. Many devout Believers traveled from all parts of the Sekas Empire to the Holy City just to confess their sins sincerely in front of the Sky Dome Tower and purify their souls...
In the distance, ethereal sacred chants began to echo across the sky, and soon a holy figure emerged from the Sky Dome Tower, looking to be in her early twenties, dressed in a white robe with her hair flowing in the wind, her green eyes brimming with a celestial glow like that of the stars.
"It’s Her Highness Lucia!" the Believers surrounding both sides of the Sky Dome Tower exclaimed, their faces filled with fervor.
The Holy Maiden of the church was the person closest to the divine in the entire Holy City, carefully chosen from among the nuns of the entire empire, rotated every five to ten years. After fulfilling their mission, they would ascend to the heavens to become Attendants to the deity...
Saintess Lucia, under the gaze of the multitude, ascended the platform and began to recite the sacred words of Harvester’s Day aloud, as specks of Divine Radiance continued to rain down from the sky.
Those Believers with hidden ailments who had come to the Holy City for pilgrimage felt instantly lighter upon being touched by the Divine Radiance, a sensation so exhilarating it was beyond words. Among them, one particularly devout Believer noticed his severed finger had miraculously grown back and, overwhelmed, he knelt and worshipped on the ground.
This was Divine Grace, the glory of the Lord!
