Chapter 220: Old and New
Magic is getting simpler and simpler, but the more people use these simple magics, the more they need to use them, and the reasons why they need to be used are a thousand times greater. In fact, the new magic is not simple, the number of new magicians is hundreds or thousands of times more than the old magicians, in the use of this new magic, and finally in the process of the formation of the industrial system, all the seemingly simple new magics have formed one of the most complex magics in the history of the world. Isn't magic all about keeping an energy system running? The complexity and growth of the industrial system, and the change of the world, are going on, and this is magic.
Batches of teenagers who were criticized as useless on the path of mages, in this era, found that they had found their own way. In the 37th year of the Elemental Calendar, five years have passed since the original birth of the Dawn Commune, which has grown from one industrial base in the Valley of the Five Colors to four heavy industrial bases, with a 1,500-kilometer-long railway connecting the four industrial base points. Steel production has entered 900,000 tons. Millions of young people between the ages of 16 and 20 have completed their junior high school mathematics education and entered factories to start production.
The use of electricity allows steel production to be highly automated, driven by electricity. Groups of researchers watched the blast furnace automatically feed and discharge the slag. The molten steel is poured into the converter under the control of the plant operator for oxygen blowing and smelting. Then the pouring is carried out. Rolling is carried out. Towering trees that have grown on the continent for decades have been cut down and turned into fuel in smoking dry distillation plants. The power of industrialization was finally put into operation in kind after many of the production standards in Ren Di's memory were unfolded by these tens of millions of middle-aged laborers.
Since the last failed forbidden spell sneak attack, the empire has begun to settle down, and the theory of new magic has gradually expanded over the course of the year, this thing Ren Di has not kept secret at all, it was originally a very simple thing, and simple things depend on whether you can use them with determination. And how determined to use it.
In the nine-year compulsory education, Ren Dike popularized education on the purpose and significance of the new magic hair. The Dawn Commune, which has the world's largest industrial system, is able to exert the power of the new magic to the extreme, and it is generous to run forward with all its might. No one will be your opponent.
Natural science, mathematics is king, physics is respected, and chemistry is a long sword that breaks ten thousand laws. The more the great magicians of the empire learned about the Dawn Commune, the shock gradually shifted from the complex alchemy system. The new magic is very simple, but this big # mage feels shocked and shocked by the concept. The wisdom industry of mages can develop like this. In turn, we aim for the goal, let go of nobility, and let go of all the pursuits. Even if you can't trigger the power to change the world personally, you can accumulate it with a little bit of perseverance with others.
Wisdom gathers together to be light, and the deterrence of powerful magic is destroyed by guns, and its value is replaced by precision magic. What are the two Blood Knights doing? The archmages seem to have guessed.
The Empire's archmages have begun to recruit apprentices who previously seemed unqualified to learn magic. And directly threw the teaching materials of the Dawn Commune to them. But these big # mages found that there were too many of these low-level mage apprentices, and that there was no guarantee in this power-honored society, at least those magic apprentices who could set fireballs saw these new mages as magic experiments. Most of the new mages in the society of the Dawn Commune have sensitive magic probes, and any excessive release of magic will be regarded as a crime against public safety in full view of the public, and will be warned by the police. There is a state apparatus that forcibly guarantees equality.
In the new society, you can't just be blind if you have power, and some magicians don't control their overly strong mana, so that the energy reaches a certain value, they will be seen as swaggering through the market with a kitchen knife that can cut people. Small-caliber firearms on the waists of some police officers. It's much easier than magic.
Of course, the Imperial Mage Academy would never dare to let an ordinary person enter with an A#K. Any possibility of depriving life is strictly monitored. It depends on who the watcher is. In the area ruled by the Empire, when the Imperial Academy of Magic began to recruit new mages and try to organize large-scale steelmaking production, in the academy, there were often cases of old mages bullying the arrival of new mages who only had no combat power, and even the nobles of the old mages appeared, burning the new mages from among the commoners.
Change is not always taken for granted, and the emergence of new mages inevitably challenges the old order of power, and in the process of such a challenge, there is no power to ensure that the new class achieves its rightful social status. It will only cause many contradictions.
On the Imperial Judgment Bench, the nobles stared cruelly at a young man who was tied to the stage, although the young man could not hide the scars of being beaten. But it is difficult to hide the sharp gaze in his eyes.
The judge's hammer struck down and said, "Amy, do you have any objection to the crime on July 12, 36 Amy?" The young man named Amy lowered his head and looked at the nobles in the hall with a sneer, and said: "On March 6, 36 of the Elemental Calendar, three new magic apprentices of the New Mage Academy were killed after being violated, and on April 13, Peter, the new magic apprentice, was killed by an ice pick, and the case could not be closed due to insufficient factual evidence. May 13. ”
"Enough," the judge slammed and said angrily, "I just need you to answer now, you are guilty of pleading." Amy Lang said, "I killed the man, and I refuse to confess my guilt." ”
"He's a demon, burn him." The many nobles sitting on the jury shouted. At this time, a great magician stood up and said to the judge, "Judge let me ask a few questions. The judge nodded, and the archmage looked at him, and Amy asked, "Why did you do that?" Amy, if I'm not mistaken, you used to go up and down on the streets of the Empire, and the Empire gave you a gift, why did you do this? ”
Amy looked at the great magician who seemed to be distressed and had led herself to the Empire's New Magic School and said, "The gift of the Empire? It must be the fear of the Empire. Amy's cold tone was like a polar wind.
The Great Magician said, "Don't you have any gratitude? Don't you feel the mercy of the empire at all? Do you think that everything you have at the Academy of Magic fell from the sky? ”
Amy sneered, "After the Dawn Commune appeared, new magic appeared. In the battle of Mindaco, the twelve magic groups of the empire were completely wiped out. The Empire's research on new magic is not to give me a fool like me, who has no magical talent under the rules of the past. It's that you're scared, you old magicians are chilled. So I want to let control a wave of slaves learn new magic, I want to take the path of new magic, and seek the power of the Dawn Commune. It's a pity, it's a pity. Amy laughed. I just wanted to laugh like a bunch of fools.
The Grand Mage shook his head and motioned for the judge to pronounce the sentence. Preparing to sit down, Amy said, "Those who should be eliminated are destined to be eliminated." The power of the new mage can only be manifested in the Dawn Commune. And I'm looking forward to what happens to you. ”
A chill swept over the great magician's heart. His mouth opened to say something. But it is impossible to say. Tens of thousands of years of mindset, the easier it is to accumulate magic, the stronger the mindset. Strong spellcasters, against weak spellcasters, life and death to seize the mindset. It seems to limit the direction of the new mage who takes the path of perception sensitivity. It seems as if the Empire will never be able to borrow the power of the new mages to resist the growing power of the Dawn Commune.
Amy's final judgment was to be burned to death in the imperial capital, but tens of thousands of new mages in the imperial capital spontaneously came to the execution square, and there was silence. Watch the flames burn. In this silence, the great magicians who had made plans for the development of new magic in the empire seemed to sense something.
The very next day, the Empire's archmages noticed that the new mages had collectively become silent. Quietly follow the command to measure, very quickly put a new spell, and then it seems that the calculation has not been calculated to give a data.
The training of new magic does not require years of accumulation of mana, but it requires attention to control the existing mana. No one will devote their attention to being a slave. The new magician's passive sabotage directly made the Empire's great magicians feel that the situation was not good. Because judging from the textbooks of the Dawn Commune, as well as the actual production, the requirements for precision are very high. New mages are born with very little magical power, and based on this subdivision, they have a natural advantage over those attack mages with high qualifications who can control a large amount of magic power at one time.
However, if the attacking mage hadn't been taught a lesson by firearms, there would have been no need to come to the Dawn Commune to learn new magic. Try to craft powerful alchemy weapons. However, now that the data has become inaccurate, should the Grand Magician take the place of the new Magician? Although the great mage can fully appreciate every subtlety of a magic under his control, he can't stand the new mage's natural magic is a subtle advantage. And the number of great magicians is already small.
Raising the status of new mages is on the agenda of the Empire, but the various nobles in the Empire. As well as these big # mages and their own apprentices, it is impossible for them to be willing, and the rules for judging qualifications have been changed.
Those mages who have released fireballs that are judged to be highly qualified will never allow new mages who can't even release a fireball spell to be on an equal footing with themselves. I'm used to being superior, expecting them to be parallel to the inferior people in the past, and there's no way.
They do not see the possibility of being replaced, and they must resolutely defend their position.
The situation of the empire, Ren Di has been paying attention, the new magic apprentice who died in the flames, Ren Di can only express regret. The Thorn Gem Empire is destined to be difficult to change peacefully. Even though the new mages were discovered by the archmages to be able to promote progress, the entire hierarchy of the empire was unwilling to pay that price. Lower the cost of your pride.
The redivision of power caused by the progress of the productive forces is probably the only way to establish order again by war. In this era, only the Dawn Commune is destined to be able to carry this mission. The other evolution lieutenants can't, they are still in the realm of borrowing the aristocratic power of this world, and they don't dare to fight against this world alone and cause evolution. And this world is not good, even if it is beaten. Those nobles, powerful magic mages, are basically ready to go all the way to the dark with the old attitude.
Putting down the newspaper and looking at the crimson sunset, Ren Di said: "Since this is the case, then let the red flag sweep the whole world." ”
