Serra suddenly heard Duke's request, and to be honest, he was stunned at the time, because he himself studied metals, and gunpowder should be considered an ore according to the classification of this world.

"My lord, as much as I would like to help the Storm Army improve its combat effectiveness, gunpowder is really not my forte, and even something I have not touched at all, I am not sure that I will be able to do it. ”

Hearing Serra's words of no confidence, Duke was not surprised, on the contrary, he comforted easily: "There is no problem with this, the current research is just to pave the way for future results, scientific basic research is a long process, I will not specify a deadline for you." ”

"At the same time, I can also give you a little advice, he knows more about this aspect, you can cooperate with him in research. In addition, I built these laboratories for you, not that this laboratory is to do everything alone, Serra, you can recruit apprentices, and even invite other famous alchemists in Big 6 to come, as long as they have real materials, I will give enough revenge and treatment, and even open a discipline in the future. ”

Duke is now starting to feel the lack of talent, because there is actually only one discipline in the current system of Stormcastle, and that is the Stormcastle Medical School. Referring to the hospital built by the modern education system, the scene is basically recruiting students and constantly supplementing the military medical team of the Storm Army, and some redundant doctors and nurses are the remaining personnel of the Storm Hospital.

Duke can even say without exaggeration that under the leadership of Vesarius and Copernicus, Stormcastle's current medical conditions can be ranked in the top three of the Big 6, and if it is only counted as a civilian, then Stormcastle can deservedly rank first in the world.

Because Duke is not sure that the other two will win, one is the Holy See and the other is the elves. Because neither of these can be regarded as medical categories, their top-level magic can not only cure diseases, but legend has it that even resurrection or rejuvenation of old age is completely within the scope of modern medicine, so Duke believes that Stormcastle only loses these two "open" methods, and other empires and territories cannot be compared with Stormcastle.

Hearing Duke's words, Serra hesitated a little, because the inheritance of alchemy in this era is actually similar to that of ancient China, that is, the inheritance of the master-apprentice relationship, rather than the school model of extensive teaching. Moreover, many things of alchemists are considered secrets, which are the foundation of their lives in this world, and if they are directly taught all of them, and the relationship between master and apprentice is not established, it will be selfless dedication for an alchemist like Serra.

Seeing the hesitation on Serra's face, Duke naturally knew what he was thinking, the disciples of the church starved to death of the master, this kind of thinking was not only for Serra. After all, alchemists are different from modern medical schools, something completely new that Duke has pioneered, and as a very traditional and ancient profession in the Middle Ages, Serra's hesitation is normal.

"Serra, I know what you're worried about, but now Stormcastle implements a lifelong rank system, as long as you can start an alchemy university, then you will enjoy the dual treatment of Stormcastle knighthood and official position, and your salary will be paid on time every month, so you don't have to worry about this problem at all. ”

Hearing Duke say this, Sierra thought of some of the systems currently implemented in the Storm Medical School, where scholars and professors enjoy the monthly allowance and salary of Storm Castle, and the entire medical school is public, that is to say, they are directly public officials of Storm Castle, and they are considered employees in the system, so they don't have to worry about future treatment.

And seriously, Serra is not very worried about his lack of money, after all, he was a well-known alchemist in the Big 6 before, and he was still a viscount like Duke. It can be said that even if he doesn't stay in Storm Castle, he can enjoy the same or even better treatment as Storm Castle when he goes to any country on the Big 6.

But people always fall into a fixed mindset, which is the case with Serra, and what he wants to do now is to break this fixed mindset and make the education system universal in Stormcastle, which is one of Duke's main plans for the future.

"Since you've said so, my lord, I'm going to put up a notice announcing that Sierra Labs is recruiting apprentices. When I think an apprentice can be apprenticed, I will form an alchemical university. ”

"Very well, thank you for your dedication to Stormcastle. ”

Duke stood up and gestured to Serra to show his sincerity and gratitude. The reason why he was the first to find Serra, in addition to gunpowder, was because of Serra's special identity, perhaps at a relatively high level. Once even Sierra has made his own example, it will be easier for the other labs in Stormcastle to reform.

"Lord Lord, this is what I should do, because only in Storm Castle can I feel what true alchemy is!"

Serra also replied gratefully, his words were also sincere, after all, compared to any country on the Big 6, Duke's support for science is undoubted, only in Storm Castle can he question some of the so-called divine theories of the Holy See, and only in Storm Castle can there be people who question the same as himself.

After dealing with the improvement of gunpowder, Duke returned to the City Lord's Mansion and directly called the education officer Stanford. Because now that Stormcastle's financial crisis has finally been alleviated a little, after removing some problems of survival, it is time to consider the more long-term development of Stormcastle, and no exhibition can escape a foundation, that is, education!

Education is the foundation of a country's rejuvenation, and many people basically understand the truth, but in troubled times, it is education that is most likely to be ignored or reduced in importance. Because investing in education is a very long-term thing, and there is basically no obvious short-term return, in troubled times, what is important is guns, and even the most basic food to survive, who still has the heart to study?

Duke knew the importance of education before, but there were more important things, so in terms of Storm Castle education, he only reluctantly established a comprehensive university with a medical school and scientific pioneers such as Galileo. And the entire primary and secondary education, Storm Castle is still in a blank stage, and the cost of this stage is not low.

So now Duke plans to open a basic junior school such as an elementary school in the future, not to mention creating any high-quality talents, at least to achieve basic literacy, the current illiteracy rate in Stormcastle is too high!
