This result can't help but make Luo Ji a little melancholy.

The profession of mage, in addition to hard work, also depends on talent.

Generally, people who have been tested as qualified, as long as they work hard to cultivate, it is not difficult to become a beginner-level mage, but whether they can become an intermediate-level mage, or even a high-level mage, has to draw a question mark.

To put it bluntly, if you don't have enough talent, no amount of time you spend.

As a simple example, under the same circumstances of the times, could an ordinary person with very ordinary qualities in all aspects invent a steam engine or an electric light bulb?

The answer is definitely impossible, he is not called Watt, nor Edison, he has no talent at all, it is useless to give him hundreds of years, and even after hundreds of years, he will only continue to use candles and oil lamps, instead of thinking of inventing something to change the status quo, this is an ordinary person.

And the same is true of the mage profession, if you want to find a few potential mage talents, it all depends on the will of God.

As for those with average qualifications, then I'm afraid that in this life, they can only be stuck at the level of a beginner-level mage, and it is impossible to become a middle-level mage.

If you think that ordinary people can reach the realm that only geniuses can achieve as long as they work hard, then it can only be said that people who think like this, how barren and comfortable their brains must be to have such naïve thoughts? It's incredible.

There is an insurmountable gulf between geniuses and mortals, and this is the reality.

"In the previous counterattack in the south, Mia has worked hard, I don't know how she has recovered in the past few months?"

At the same time as he asked this, Luo Ji's gaze subconsciously swept over Mia's face.

At least for now, Mia doesn't see much weakness, and it seems that she should be recovering well.

In this regard, Mia, as the person concerned, replied indifferently......

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, if it is at the rate of natural recovery, in another seven or eight months, the consumed mana should be able to recover as before, however, the overdraft of spiritual power is more serious, and the burden caused by the high-level spell this time is even greater than I expected, I am afraid that it will take a while to cultivate."

Probably mentally prepared, Luo Ji was not surprised when he heard this.

In the final analysis, high-level spells are not something that mid-level mages can cast, but Mia and Iverson, as mid-level mages, can cast high-level spells, which can really only be said that the two are talented and have deep strength.

Changed to an ordinary mid-level spell, Luo Ji gave him a third-order demon core, and the other party couldn't cast it at all, and even halfway through it, he died on the spot because of the collapse of his mental power.

For his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, an important person with 'strategic-level firepower', Luo Ji obviously attaches great importance to it, after that battle, while giving a lot of rewards, he also ordered someone to send a lot of nutritional products over, I just hope that Mia can recover quickly.

After lunch, Luo Ji, who had taken a short rest, quickly moved to the city's science and technology institute with a group of guards.

In the past few years, he has been busy fighting wars, and he has shifted his financial funds and focus to the research and development and production of ordnance, and the research and development progress of the Academy of Science and Technology has been a little slow.

As the president of the Academy of Science and Technology, Xu Jing is also anxious!

Under pressure, I collected the funds and quickly came up with a result, hoping to take this opportunity to apply for a research grant.

No, Luo Ji hasn't arrived yet, and from a distance, you can see our goblin dean standing at the door of the Academy of Science and Technology, looking forward to the stars and the moon.

"Weichen Xu Jing, see Your Majesty!"

Luo Ji, who got out of the carriage, waved and signaled Xu Jing to excuse himself, and then the group quickly walked into the science and technology institute.

The heavy door of the experimental factory was opened, and the smell of diesel fuel inside suddenly came to the surface, so that Luo Ji couldn't help but rub his nose.

Then, Luo Ji's eyes fell on the relatively small machine in the center of the factory.

"So, this time, is the output power finally up to standard?"

Obviously, it's not the first time Luo Ji has come to see this, and he has seen it five or six times before, but the output power has not met the expected requirements, so the Academy of Science and Technology has been constantly improving.

And probably because he has seen it too many times, he is more calm now than emotions such as excitement.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after many tests, the stability and output power of this internal combustion engine have met the requirements!"

As he spoke, Xu Jing waved his hand quickly, and several members of the surrounding science and technology academy suddenly understood, and after one operation, the internal combustion engine suddenly operated.

At this moment, with a burst of sound, Luo Ji can clearly see the entire precision operation process, and the whole machine has a unique beauty at this moment.

That's right, in recent years, the primary R&D project of the Academy of Science and Technology has been the internal combustion engine.

The internal combustion engine, also known as a diesel engine or a gasoline engine, is mainly fueled by diesel and gasoline.

At present, diesel is burned, so it can be called a diesel engine.

Compared with steam turbines, diesel engines have the advantage of being small in size, light in weight, and easy to move.

General automobiles and some small civil and agricultural equipment use this kind of diesel engine.

But if you tell me to use it to run a battleship, you're joking with me.

As mentioned above, it's okay to use it to run a car or something like that, but if you want to install it on a steel battleship that moves thousands of tons, then sorry, it can't be carried, and the output power is simply not enough.

At most, it is used on speedboats, small cruise ships, and fishing boats.

As for the steel battleship, it still has to rely on steam turbines, and the warships of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization are now using this.

Even if it is upgraded later, it will be a gas turbine.

However, the manufacture of internal combustion engines is still of great value, after all, large turbines cannot be installed in automobiles.

After briefly confirming the results, Luo Ji waved his hand and motioned to the Academy of Science and Technology to build a sample for him first, and then consider the rest after testing the performance in more detail.

In this regard, Xu Jing naturally responded again and again, and then carefully approached and asked while rubbing his hands......

"Then Your Majesty, can the funding of our Academy of Science and Technology be slightly ...... this quarter?"

While speaking, Xu Jing made a pitiful gesture of 'up a little'.

Looking at his appearance, Luo Ji, who was standing on the side, couldn't help laughing.

"I know, I'll talk to the Ministry of Finance about research funding."

Xu Jing, who heard this, was overjoyed, and then sent Luo Ji out with a thousand thanks.
