Chalkboard chalk is all new.

The manufacture of a blackboard is very simple, a layer of cement on the wall and a little black paint is a simple blackboard.

Cement in the Harland Territory can already be produced in small quantities.

Although black lacquer is not common in the province of Geda, it is actually very easy to produce.

Richard found three kinds of lacquer trees in the Eagle Mountains, through which he could collect black, red, and blue lacquer.

The felling of lacquer trees is forbidden in the territory of Haaland, and a lot of natural lacquer is collected every year.

These lacquer trees have been marked by Richard, transplanted together for management, and a lacquer plantation has been established.

Chalk was made by Richard himself, instructing craftsmen to mix gypsum powder and lime powder and mix them with water.

Teaching in church schools does not use blackboards and chalk, but sand tables.

The teacher wrote words on the sand table with a wooden stick, and each student was asked to walk up to the podium, watch slowly, and then trace on their own sand table, and practice continuously.

Using a sand table and a wooden stick to learn words is a little slow in terms of efficiency.

The invention of gadgets such as blackboards and chalk made teaching a little easier.

There is no papermaking in the Dawn Continent, the literacy rate is no more than one in a thousand, and those who master knowledge are basically members of the nobility.

Although the church schools trained some people from the wealthy citizens, they were very few in number.

Even if papermaking is invented, there may not be a market because there are few people who have knowledge.

The aristocracy was not short of money, and the quality of early straw paper was not as good as parchment.

Moreover, restricting the spread of knowledge was an unspoken rule of the aristocracy, and Richard was reluctant to challenge this unspoken rule when he was weak.

Only when Haaland's territory has cultivated a large number of literate people will the development of papermaking be promoted.

Without cheap paper, and students were taught a lot of parchment, Richard was afraid that he would go bankrupt.

In order to make it easier for students to learn words, they can only use a small blackboard for the time being.

This year, however, Richard is already preparing to set up a paper-making workshop to make some experimental paper on a small scale and hand it over to Riverside Primary School.

The school has just been built, and there are no textbooks for the time being, and teachers still need to compile them.

After the textbook has been compiled, it is copied again on parchment.

There are only five of these textbooks per class, and an average of eight or nine people share a textbook, which the teacher puts away and locks in the cabinet after class.

Richard calculated that even if the tuition fee was so high, the school would still lose money.

However, for the sake of the future development of Haaland's territory, in order to cultivate talents, even if you lose money, you should insist on running schools.

Due to the restrictions of the social environment, it is estimated that the territory will not be able to carry out compulsory education and free teaching for several decades.

However, as more and more talents are cultivated in the territory, the tuition fee will gradually be reduced, benefiting more families

Seven teachers can only teach four main courses now, and three secondary courses have no teachers for the time being, and it may be half a year before classes can be started.

From this year onwards, Riverbank Primary School will be a key project in the Haaland Territory.

At the beginning of the school year, Richard and Sophia will test the magical qualifications of new students and recruit magical apprentices from the school.

As the number of apprentices increases, the magic level of the realm will develop even faster.

As for the spread of extraordinary power, will the Haaland family be overthrown in a few hundred years?

Richard didn't know the members of the Haaland family hundreds of years later, and Richard didn't care about their fate.

If the descendants have the ability, they can naturally control the territory.

If posterity is waste, then it should also be overthrown.

After the school was built, Richard had a little more time to spare.

In his spare time, Richard has been thinking about the nature of meditation.

Richard had two meditation books in his hands.

Highland meditation recognizes magic as a mystical change in the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water under the influence of spiritual power.

It is the standard elemental-school meditation method.

In addition to the elemental sect, there are also soul sects, energy sects, illusion sects, change factions, and summoning sects.

The Starlight Meditation is an astrological meditation that is very rare in the Dawn Plane.

Through the study of the Starlight Meditation Method, Richard's understanding of meditation became more and more profound.

The Dawn plane is at the very edge of the astral plane, and the star power of this plane is very weak.

If you want to cultivate the meditation method of the Astrological Sect, I am afraid that you need to leave the Dawn Plane and enter the middle of the astral plane.

The astral realm is very dangerous, not only there are terrible astral creatures, but also all kinds of astral bandits, unless they become legends, otherwise they are not suitable for astral adventures.

Through constant thinking, countless questions lingered in Richard's mind.

"What exactly is the nature of magic?

Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements?

In what form do they exist?

How do their laws work?

Why does this world have souls?

What is the difference between soul and self-consciousness?

What is the relationship between the soul and the psychic power?

What is the relationship between magic and mental power? ”

Richard also asked Sophia and Wendy these questions, but unfortunately they were all confused and dumbfounded by Richard.

Hearing these questions, the two fell into a long thought, and then were speechless for a long time, and burst into tears.

A person who loves magic is born to explore the essence of magic.

Knowledge and exploration are the root of the progress of magical civilization.

Countless great magicians have created different meditation methods and different magic because they are constantly pursuing new knowledge and opening new explorations.

Learning the spells of his predecessors, no matter how talented he is, he is just a spell craftsman.

A good magician should have his own understanding of the nature of the wizarding world.

Richard meditated countless times, scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, and often had sleepless nights in the middle of the night.

Sometimes I'm ecstatic, sometimes I'm sad.

After thinking for a long time, combined with the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, Richard gradually gained some of his own understanding of magic.

Richard believed that earth, fire, wind, and water were not the basic elements, and that the basic elements were still various microscopic particles.

But there are microscopic magic particles in this universe, so there is a unique physics.

Because the conditions are not mature, there is no advanced detection equipment such as electron microscope, atomic force microscope, tunneling scanning microscope in this world, and Richard does not know how many kinds of magic energy microscopic particles there are.

There could be one, there could be an infinite number of kinds.

The different changes between the magic particles and the microscopic particles show different changes in magic.

The core of various meditation methods is to absorb magic energy particles and promote the advancement of spiritual power.

The reason why there is a soul in this world may be the quantum entanglement of one or several magic energy particles.

And special quantum entanglement gives rise to self-awareness.

I don't know if Richard's thinking is correct?

Because of the constraints, it is particularly difficult to study microscopic particles.

Moreover, the number of magicians in Haaland's territory is very small, and there is no large number of inspiration collisions, and a person's thinking is caused behind closed doors after all.

Because he often thinks about the nature of magic, Richard has made rapid progress in meditation methods recently, and in just a few months, he has already passed half of the meditation experience on the attribute panel.
