Now, they seem to have reached a technical bottleneck!

Calvin's desk was covered with plans, but his mouth was dry, and the thought could not help but pop into his head.

Ten fingers of his hands were inserted into his hair, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the plans in front of him, wanting to get out of the predicament, but he thought about it, which road is a cliff, and if he wants to reach the other side, he must 'build a bridge'.

He has a lot of strange ideas in his head, and he is very hands-on, which is why he has become the head of the 'R&D department', and now the head of the technology department.

However, in many cases, it is useless to have ideas, and the gap in technology is the abyss separating the 'two sides of the strait', and if you want to realize your ideas, you need to develop more technologies to fill those gaps.

There is no doubt that they are now stuck in a bottleneck, and the foundation accumulated over thousands of years has been almost consumed.

It is difficult to break through this bottleneck, because until now, even those students in the academy did not have the 'R&D spirit', they just wanted to extract the essence from the 'past' and transform the cumbersome spells of the past into one magic machine after another.

However, this can only improve the productivity of society, and does not play a half role in the development of technology.

Resisting the urge to text the head maid for advice, Calvin threw himself on the back of his chair and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

No, he can't rely on the head maid to show them the way, or rather, 'they' can't always rely on the head maid.

Neither he, the head of the Gordon Empire's technical department, nor any other mage organization, could always expect the head maid to show them the way forward, and although they could find clues to the 'way forward' from the knowledge that the head maid had brought, they couldn't ask.

Otherwise, they will be wasted......

The legacy left to them by the ancients had almost been digested by them, and almost all the spells that could be used in production had been successfully transformed into corresponding magical energy technology, and the next road was for them to go on their own, but they couldn't even find the way anywhere.

How can we continue to develop magic technology, or how can we continue to create more magic!

Spells and magic technology can be converted into each other, but they are only differences in their 'way of thinking', so as long as they can create new spells, they can basically be sure that they can create a new kind of magic energy machine, improve the productivity of society, and then support a stronger country and civilization.

The Arcane Empire is on the wrong path, and if they continue to follow that path, it will only lead to the unstable foundation of the country and civilization, and they will not be able to continue to attack the higher level.

The exploitation of civilians will only lead to a dilemma for the development of the country - it costs a lot of money to pursue the 'truth', and the deeper it goes, the more money it costs, the money can only be obtained from the people, and the oppression of the people will lead to the lack of development of productivity, the labor force will not be fully utilized, and the arcanists basically do not work, which means that they cannot create wealth, so if they want to get more money to fund their research, they need to use more people to support the more and more deformed countries.

If the Arcane Empire had really grown to that extent, the social structure would no longer be the traditional 'pyramidal society', but a completely parallel sky and earth, and even more excessive, with occasional communication and contact merely oppressive.

This approach was thankless, so the advent of magic machines and steam machines brought a glimmer of light to the world.

If they want to become a more powerful civilization, they need to continue to promote the development and progress of society, and now the nobles can enjoy things that they could not enjoy in the past, but until now, they still remember the power they once had, completely unaware that the things they enjoy now are exchanged for the power they have lost.

Calvin wanted to solve this problem, but he didn't know where to start.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start scratching his ears and cheeks again.

The 'satellite project' was already underway, and now that Grigory was already busy, he didn't know who to talk to......

Taking out his phone, opening the photo album and looking at his daughter's photos, Calvinto's cheeks began to meditate again.

The reason why they build magic machines is because they can increase productivity, use labor more efficiently, and avoid wasted labor.

Now they seem to be in a dilemma again, if they want to build more advanced magic machines, they need to develop productivity, and if they want to develop productivity, they need more advanced magic machines...... But that's not right!

The real world is not a game, how can there be such a hard requirement?

Try to get out of this cycle and think about how the ancients invented so many spells.

Because the language of the past was magical, when it was used, inadvertently, when it was spoken, a 'spell' would be combined, and after observing this phenomenon, it was counted and organized, and finally the 'characteristic spells' of each race were formed.

Later, the various races either interacted peacefully with each other or clashed with each other, and in these ways inadvertently reached inter-ethnic exchanges, in a sense, each race began to influence the other races from this time.

Regardless of the method, the races 'communicated' with each other, and then the influence gradually spread, gradually forming the current situation - the orcs have a tendon in their brains and worship the ancestors and the strong, so until now, they only use war cries and ancestral prayers, elves cannot use the spells of other races due to their own bloodline, dwarves are similar, and as for gnomes and goblins, they are all 'secondary civilizations', so their language contains few words of magic, or even no language of their own.

Only human beings have gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to form today's spell system, which can be summed up as 'statistics' and 'sorting'.

As for 'discovery', it is an accident, and the existing spells are all extended from ancient spells, so most of the spells nowadays are more cumbersome, with both spells and rituals and consumables.

If they want to invent a new spell, do they need some surprises, or will they continue to build on the old spell?

No, it shouldn't be that way!

Calvin was keenly aware of what was wrong, and he felt that this should not be the case, that they should not be the only way to invent new spells and propel society and civilization to the next level.

Clicking on the screen, Calvin exited the album, and then clicked on the icon of the 'library', as the head of the technical department of the O'Gordon Empire, and one of the builders of this 'library', he has quite high privileges, and can use points to exchange for some 'hidden books' that cannot be seen by those with low privileges.

However, instead of checking the hidden books, he thoughtfully clicked on the [Star Ocean Boat Zone].

What are they missing now?Calvin didn't know, but every time he watched the head maid bring the otherworldly knowledge, he was able to generate a lot of inspiration.

This is the collision of knowledge between different systems, the exchange accumulated over millions of years, and the debate of the wisdom of countless sages.

His eyes swept over the bookshelf, and books such as "Basic Mathematics", "Basic Physics", "Basic Magic", and "Basic Biology" came into view, but what he was looking for was not ...... That's it!!

Calvin Huoran slapped the table and got up, he figured it out!

What they lack is a 'foundation', their magical civilization is built on 'extension' and 'combination', and the real research on the basics can almost be said to be 'nothing'!

As you can imagine, their magical civilization is presented in an upside-down pyramid shape, because of the lack of basic research, so the more it stretches upward, the narrower the road becomes, and now it is crumbling to keep up.

Without enough basic research, there is simply no way to support a more preemptive civilization!

But how can he convince the Ministry of Finance to give them more money for basic research......
