Chapter 509: Gawain's Alternative

Once the problem is confirmed, the next step is a series of fixes, redesigns, assemblies, tests, ......

With the Nicholas Egg, a super-god Seiko lathe, all of this is carried out very quickly - basically a part only takes a minute or two from the design to the actual finished product, and it can be installed in the machine.

Watching the Mechanics and Wizard Technicians busily retest the entire system around the platform, Hetty couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "Rebecca, this kid...... It's so unstable, she should report back to you after a perfect test. ”

"I asked her to report as soon as she has a sample," Gao Wen looked at Rebecca, who was busy among a group of technical experts and gave instructions to the people around him from time to time, with a smile on his face, "Of course, a more perfect testing process and rules and regulations in this area are indeed the inevitable development direction of the R&D department, which depends on Rebecca's future work...... As far as it seems, this kid is doing a pretty good job. ”

Even Herty, who has always been very strict with Rebecca (although strict requirements have little effect), could not say anything to refute at this moment, she looked at Rebecca who was immersed in the machine world from afar, and sighed softly for a long time: "...... Oh, yes...... She's done a good job, and she's brought out so many equally talented apprentices...... If someone had told me two years ago that Rebecca could do all this, I would have thought that person was here to scam money. ”

"There are a lot of talented people in this world, but not everyone can find a place where they can use their talents, but Cecil can give these people opportunities, so the next step for us is to attract more capable people to join these projects," Gawain asked as he said, "How has the talent recruitment and education and training work progressed recently?" ”

"There are a large number of craftsmen and low-level transcendents or transcendent apprentices who have responded to the recruitment of the government department - the fact that the Cecil family has unified the southern realm has given these people a lot of confidence, and the new propaganda methods can attract them from all over the world, but it will take a long time to convert these people into qualified mechanics and magicians...... Their original skill levels are uneven, different genres, and lack of standard industrial concepts, it only takes three days to recruit a thousand apprentices, and it takes half a year to train them to enter the factory, and it is even more troublesome to let them enter the laboratory, basically relying on talent, and the pass rate is less than 10%," Hetty said with a sad face, "As you said, if you want to really solve the talent gap, you still need to promote basic education - only schools can produce products in large quantities like factories. We cultivate human resources with high quality and uniform standards. ”

Gawain knew what Hetty was going to say next, and he nodded slightly: "But we don't have enough schools at this stage...... There aren't enough teachers, or even enough government department staff, to figure out how the school should work, right? ”

"As you said, the gap is so big that it makes people desperate - there are not enough houses to build overtime, there are not enough machines to make up with manpower, but the training of teachers ...... There's no way to speed it up," Hetty frowned, his tone serious, "After the industrial printing press came out, we finally solved the problem of insufficient textbooks, but there were not enough teachers to teach, and the knowledge that junior teachers recruited from the private sector could use in school was basically spelling and basic arithmetic......"

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and continued: "At this stage, the most lacking teacher is a teacher who teaches the four courses of basic rune literature, magic industry general knowledge, Cecil social general knowledge, and ideological synthesis - this knowledge is a new field, and the teacher has to take half a year of class himself before going to class, so that he can barely teach others, and he has to come back to make up for the class while taking the class, because new knowledge is constantly emerging. ”

The problem Hetty is referring to is one of the most serious problems faced by the expansion of Cecil's territory, and it is also a problem that cannot be "solved quickly", and a large number of general education schools are being built in the whole south of the country, with the four new industrial cities plus the city of Cecil as a reference point, and the coverage of the cross axis, but no matter which school is facing a serious shortage of teachers - the government department has used huge manpower and material resources to barely recruit enough literacy and arithmetic teachers, but the knowledge is a little more complex than that......

Except for those from Cecil City, who knows what the Wizard Industry is? Who knows the full Cecil laws? Who understands runic literature?

In addition to these seemingly specialized courses, social literacy is also a big problem, and in most areas outside of Cecil, no one even knows how to turn on the heating in winter, how to use the magic crystal lamp, how to water the ground with a water pump, how to use a thresher to get food......

The first problem that the people will face after these new things are promoted is that the people dare not use them at all, they will not use them if they dare to use them, and they will not trust the machine - for every ten people sent by the government affairs department to install water pumps in the fields, they must send another ten people to publicize that water pumps do not eat people......

And the government department itself is still short of people.

Gawain sighed slightly.

In this land where everything is in ruins, as long as the fist is big, he can establish authority, as the largest fist and the founding hero of the country itself has authority, it is very easy for him to build a principality, but to build this principality...... It's not that simple.

He can build a country in a year, but it takes many years to govern......

However, although the problem is difficult to solve, it is not without a solution, and the hard time cost may not be compressible, but just as the excrement of the ooze monster can be used as an alternative to rubber, it is still feasible to bypass, or at least partially bypass, the current problem with some "alternatives".

Gawain raised his head, glanced at Rebecca, who was happily busy in the crowd, and said slowly: "There is a way to quickly promote knowledge when there are not enough educators. ”

Hetty's eyes suddenly lit up: the old ancestor, who had always been extremely wise, really lived up to his expectations and had a solution so quickly, and she immediately couldn't wait to ask, "...... you mean?"

"Distance education," Gawain said, "use the magic net to send out knowledge." ”

Thanks to the special development route of magic technology, and thanks to the technological accumulation of the world itself - who would have thought that in a world with a social structure similar to that of the Middle Ages, long-range holographic communication networks could appear earlier than highways?

Hetty is a smart person, she just didn't think of this direction before, but now she was slightly reminded by Gawain, and she instantly understood the ancestor's intentions.

"That's ......" her breath didn't even hurt, "this is a great method!" ”

"Don't get too excited, I'm not sure what the effect will be," Gao Wen calmed down the slightly excited Hetty, "Let's try to add an 'educational' program group to the magic network broadcast first, live broadcast the courses of the general education school, and then organize a group of people-you can draw people from the general education school-compile the basic necessary knowledge such as social knowledge, record it with a photo crystal, and broadcast it in a regular loop." In addition, in terms of publications, this kind of books should be compiled, focusing on how to farm the land, how to build a house, how to use magic machines, and then publish them throughout the territory. ”

Now the overall literacy rate in the south may not have reached the level where people can learn these books on their own, and most ordinary people also lack the desire to take the initiative to learn, but when the grain harvest next year comes, those who actively learn new knowledge and actively respond to the government affairs department will really benefit, and the "benchmarking effect" will show its power, and the motivation of ordinary people to learn new knowledge will be greatly improved, but it will be too late to compile relevant teaching materials in a hurry at that time, and it will inevitably lose at least one year of "golden time". Therefore, Gawain had to prepare in advance.

"Yes," Hetty nodded immediately, "I'll leave Mr. Godwin and Mr. Santis to organize the manpower." ”

A clattering mechanical noise came from the side, and the conversation between Gawain and Hetty stopped.

After a large group of technicians made urgent adjustments, and after a simple test by Rebecca, the magic guide car that had just been lying on its stomach started again and stopped steadily near Gawain.

"Ancestors! Look! It's on again!! Rebecca sat in the humble driver's seat of the magic car, holding the steering wheel in one hand and pulling a lever in the other, and greeted Gawain happily, "And you see, I just asked Mr. Egg to add a clock to it that can alert other cars and pedestrians......"

Rebecca said as she tugged a lever next to the steering wheel, causing a drum-shaped device on the side of the car to tumble over, and a loud and noisy sound of steel pieces colliding could be heard from inside.

The sound of the steel plate crashing was much more disturbing than the noise of the car, and Hetty immediately covered her ears: "You turn that thing off - did you put that thing in the car specifically to torture other people's ears?" ”

However, Mademoiselle Viscount was clearly pleased with her creative abilities: "But then the driver will not have to shout to get out of the way, as the coachman does when he goes on the road!" ”

"I think the movement of your car is enough for everyone to know where it is," Hetty grumbled, rubbing his aching ears vigorously, "Oh my God...... It only took you a few dozen minutes to come up with a new torturous little machine......"

"Is it really noisy?" Rebecca scratched her head, "I think this thing is very useful, it's much smaller than the same kind in the mechanical clock......"

Gawain watched the negotiation between Hetty and Rebecca with a smile, and to be honest, he didn't even think that the prototype magic car didn't have a whistle - if it weren't for Rebecca's inspiration, the world's first mechanical car would have relied on the driver to shout to warn pedestrians and other vehicles to avoid - but on the other hand, he did think that Rebecca's newly invented "warning bell" was too noisy......

"This device does work, but you'd better find a way to optimize its movement when you look back, it's really not possible to connect an airbag to a copper pipe, and it's better to make a whistle than to stuff a bunch of steel sheets and rams into a drum," Gawain looked at Rebecca with a smile on his face, "You come down first, I have something to tell you." ”

"Oh," Rebecca jumped out of the car, "what's the matter?" ”

"We're going to teach the basics of magic machines to ordinary people," Gawain said, "the basics of what a repulsion mechanism is, what a magic engine is, how a magic furnace works, and so on. ”

Rebecca blinked: "Oh, I know this, there is a class in this area at the General Academy, and I have taught it!" ”

Hetty stepped forward and straightened the girl's messy hair, "But now we're going to teach more people about it...... So you wash your hair first! ”

(I'm going to push the book again!) The supernatural, the title of the book "Drinking This Bowl of Meng Po Soup", which was pushed once before, is surprisingly alive to this day, and it even seems to be on the shelves recently...... Push it again, this kind of milk immortality often has something in the follow-up, and this is still a niche supernatural, it is worth looking forward to 23333. )
