Chapter 310: The Concept of Nuclear Magic!

Here, what was once barren soil, a salt-affected land left after the seawater receded, has now transformed into fertile fields under the mighty influence of magic.

But what caught the attention of Raydell and the others were those peculiar-looking reapers. The alchemists from the workshop were in the final stages of their adjustments.

"Can these contraptions really turn wheat ears into grains automatically, Master Wizard?" A man in his thirties leaned in close to those machines, eagerly watching as the wizards started them up, incessantly asking for details.

Bayat was the farm owner here. With the massive hiring happening at the workshop, the peasants who previously survived by tilling the land had all switched professions. To prevent these lands from lying fallow, Lynn took the chance to implement a policy of land leasing, gearing up for a full-scale mechanization of farming.

Bayat took a bold step, spending his savings to lease all the surrounding land! This was the result of his hard labor for almost half a year, and this wheat field was more precious to him than his own son!

"Of course, no doubt about it!" Philip confidently remarked.

To replicate the diagrams provided by the headmaster, they had put in a lot of effort, sacrificing countless brain cells just to reverse-engineer this gadget. Though it hadn't been tested yet, Philip was fully confident in its capabilities.

But who was the mastermind behind this reaper? To conceive such intricate machinery...

"Lynn, are we good to go now?" Philip turned to Lynn, asking eagerly.

Lynn nodded with a smile. He was also curious about the effectiveness of the reaper reproduced by the Alchemy Research Institute.

With Lynn's permission, Philip let several enthusiastic colleagues hop onto the reaper.

As the lever was pulled, these peculiar machines immediately emitted a 'clattering' sound. Under the tense gazes of the crowd, the reapers traversed the wheat fields, their reel inserts delving into the crops, neatly pushing the wheat to the cutting edge, then through internal cutting mechanisms into the threshing cylinder. Finally, sieved and selected, the wheat grains were stored in the rear storage container.

The process might sound intricate, but it was all autonomously executed by these machines. All they needed to do was drive the reapers through the vast fields, dashing in the expansive wheat fields! In just a short while, they had harvested thousands of square meters of land...

Philip proudly explained to Bayat, Raydell, and others about the operation and principles of the reapers. Apart from the reapers, the Alchemy Research Institute had also devised machines specifically for plowing and sowing.

These machines covered the trifecta—plowing, sowing, and reaping. The wizards, adept in elemental studies, would normally enrich the lands magically. With just a few people, they could tend to vast expanses of land!

"This is like the heavenly descriptions in the scriptures..." Ham murmured to himself.

Legend had it that in the heavenly kingdom, rivers flowed with exquisite wine, fields bore grains without manual toil, and every tree bore succulent, juicy steaks...

While he hadn't seen the rivers of wine or steak-laden trees, witnessing these wheat fields automatically tilled and harvested, and the alchemical apparatus producing thousands of meters of fabric per day, was a miracle he could see with his own eyes!

"Lynn, could these alchemical machines be used in the kingdom?" Raydell hastily inquired. It was the harvesting season in the Hadralata Kingdom too, and if they had these reapers, they wouldn't need to toil in the fields day in and day out.

"It might be too late now. The production of these reapers is limited, and after Iyeta, they need to cater to other cities under the Wizard Council. But by the time of autumn sowing, we could send some plowing machines to the kingdom..." Lynn pondered.

"If Aidan and the others see this, they'd be astonished..." Ham murmured. No one would believe that farming and harvesting could become this effortless if they hadn't witnessed it themselves.

After a round of joyriding on the reapers, the wizards from the Alchemy Research Institute, excitedly, hopped off the machines, allowing Raydell and the rest to experience them.

Especially Bayat, as the farm owner, this demonstration was necessary to test the efficacy of the reapers. In the future, it would be up to Bayat himself to operate them.

They continued their busy work until dusk. What was once an expansive view of wheat fields now only had stubs left. The harvesting had been completed thoroughly!

If done manually, it might have required over thirty people toil for five or six days. With five reapers, they finished the job of dozens of people in half a day, without exhaustion, directly yielding wheat grains and saving a considerable amount of time.

Grateful and teary-eyed, Bayat warmly insisted that everyone stay, slaughtering the only camelop in their possession to celebrate.

By the time Lynn and the others returned to the academy, it was already evening, accompanied by an invitation to an academic conference.

Considering the ongoing war with the Church might last long, this year's academic conference had been unsurprisingly moved up a month.

Lynn was genuinely interested in this conference. Since producing glassware, the wizards had significantly accelerated their understanding and progress in the microcosm. Astronomy had made remarkable strides.

The diviners had even constructed a large astronomical telescope, preparing to refine star charts further. Lynn had seen numerous papers related to this in the Magical Daily.

During this time of manipulating magic within the kingdom, Lynn had also been active. He had published several theories on electromagnetism, receiving both admiration and skepticism.

However, Lynn hadn't yet settled on what theory to present this time. His prime focus was on perfecting the elemental model.

If he could manage to manufacture those rare elements, many powerful technologies could transform into magic, perhaps even concocting something as potent as nuclear magic. One blast from that, and the Church's armies would ascend to the heavens, if not negate the need for war altogether.

No, perhaps it might eliminate the chance of ascending to heaven.

Thinking of the imagery of nuclear magic in his mind, Lynn understood that even if he succeeded in creating such powerful magic, it might not directly ensure victory in the war.

The powers of the legendary god were still an unknown entity. Just a manifestation had already demonstrated the ability to distort time and space. They wouldn't be easy to deal with...
