Lu Yao watched with a head full of waking-up crankiness.
Fine, fine, fine. I funded your restoration, and you turned around and started enjoying yourself, huh?
Maybe magnetic monsters were better suited to being research materials at the institute after all.
As if realizing something was wrong, a frightened expression popped up above Cobalt Magnet King's head. "Your Majesty Lord Yao, please hear me out. I absolutely had no intention of slacking off. It's just that I really can be of use in the research here."
"The Magnetic Field Sailboat! The soldiers and I are working with Mr. Philes and Mr. Zila on researching the Magnetic Field Sailboat!!"
Beside it, Satellite Eugene also said, "My lord, Cobalt Magnet King is indeed assisting with research and making new strategic plans—though it is also true that it's enjoying life among the Yao Clan."
Lu Yao's anger meter dropped slightly.
He called Philes and Zila over and asked about the specifics.
A scratching-head expression appeared above Philes's head. "Over the past few years, we've conducted more than four hundred experiments, but we still haven't been able to recreate the Magnetic Field Sailboat. The core problem is still the lack of sufficient magnets."
"For Magnetic Elements to form a magnet, the Magnetic Elements in the microscopic domain that were originally moving in different directions need to align in one direction. But with our current tools, we still cannot manufacture this artificially. Lightning and lightning strikes can cause orientation changes, but we cannot precisely control the direction. They only create another round of disorder."
"We've also collected some magnets produced in the Yao Clan World, but both their quantity and quality are insufficient. The Yao Clan has not yet found Magnetic Material that can steadily yield large amounts and be used for production and processing."
