"The Pirate King—the one inside the Stellar Furnace—is the Sea God's flesh and blood. All the pollution in the Storm Ocean converges on the Stellar Furnace through his body. Its output is currently excellent, and it can also produce a great deal of pollution. The pollution used by our frontline artillery and steam engines is all supplied by him."

It can only provide energy for Blood Port's industrial district and cannot produce any additional pollution. It can only be transported from Castel. Supplying the Duchy of Tis should also be possible, though it would be rather strained. We may need to optimize energy conversion efficiency in the future."

Discussion broke out in the meeting room.
Everyone knew about this, and it was precisely why Castel's development of the Northern Territory had remained slow.
After all, a large part of Castel's terrifying production capacity rested on nearly free energy.
With the Stellar Furnace and the energy core, the cost of many Castel industrial products was
