Chapter 509: Gawain's Alternative

After confirming what the problem is, the next step is a series of repairs, redesigns, assembly, testing...

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

Watching the machinists and magicians busy re-testing the entire system around the platform, Heidi couldn't help shaking her head and sighed: "This child Rebecca... is too unsteady, she should improve it I'll report to you after the test."

"I asked her to report as soon as she had samples." Gawain looked at Rebecca, who was busy among a group of technical experts and gave orders to people around him from time to time, with a smile on his face. " Of course, a more complete 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... It seems that this kid has done a good job. "

Even Heidi, who has always been very strict with Rebecca (although strict requirements have no effect), could not say anything to refute at this moment. She stared at Rebecca who was immersed in the machine world from a distance, and it took a long time before she spoke softly. Sigh: "...Yeah... She did a really good job, and she brought out so many equally talented apprentices... If someone told me two years ago that Rebecca could do it all, I would definitely They will think that person is here to cheat money."

"There are a lot of talented people in this world, but not everyone can find a place where they can develop their talents. Fortunately, Cecil can give these people a chance, so what we need to do next is to attract more capable people. People are joining these projects," Gao Wen said while asking, "How is the progress of talent recruitment and education and training in the recent period?"

"There are a large number of craftsmen and low-level supernatural beings or supernatural apprentices who responded to the recruitment of the Government Office - the fact that the Cecil family unified the southern border gave these people a lot of confidence, and the new propaganda methods can also attract them from all over the place. It's just that it will take a long time to convert these people into qualified mechanics and magicians... Their original skill levels are uneven, the schools are different, and they lack standard industrial concepts. It only takes a thousand apprentices to recruit In three days, it takes half a year to train them to be employed in the factory. It is even more troublesome to get them to enter the laboratory. Basically, it depends on talent, and the pass rate is less than 10%," Heidi said with worry. Seriously said, "As you said, in order to truly solve the talent gap, it is necessary to promote basic education - only schools can train talents in large quantities, high quality and uniform standards like factories produce products. "

Gawain knew what Hetty was going to say next, and he nodded slightly: "But at this stage we don't have enough schools... nor enough teachers, or even enough staff from the Political Affairs Department to study how the school should operate, right? "

"As you said, the gap is too big, too big to make people desperate - not enough houses to work overtime to build, not enough machines to make up with manpower,

But the training of teachers... can't be accelerated," Hetty frowned and said in a serious tone, "After the industrial printing press came out, we managed to solve the problem of insufficient textbooks, but we didn't have enough teachers to teach. The only knowledge that teachers can use in school is basically spelling and basic arithmetic..."

Speaking of this, she paused and continued: "What is most lacking at this stage are teachers who teach the four courses of basic rune literature, general knowledge of the magic industry, general knowledge of Cecil's society, and ideological synthesis - all knowledge in this area is It’s a new field, and teachers have to take classes for half a year before they go to class, so that they can barely teach others, and they have to come back to make up lessons while they are in class, because new knowledge is constantly emerging.”

The problem Hetty mentioned is one of the most serious problems faced by Cecil after the expansion of the territory, and it is also a problem that cannot be "speeded up". At present, the entire southern border is being replaced by four new industrial cities plus Cecil Ben City. Five cities are used as benchmarks to build a large number of general schools with the coverage of the cross axis, but no matter which school is facing a serious shortage of teachers - the Government Office has used huge manpower and material resources to barely recruit enough literacy and teachers. Math teacher, but a little more complicated than that...

Except for people from Cecil City, who knows what the magic industry is? Who knows the full Cecil law? Who understands runeology?

In addition to these seemingly professional courses, social general knowledge is also a big problem. In most areas outside Cecil City, no one even knows how to turn on the heating in winter, how to use the magic spar table lamp, and how to use it. Watering the ground with a water pump, how to use a thresher to thresh grain...

The first problem to be faced after the promotion of these new things is that the common people do not dare to use them at all, and they do not know how to use them if they dare to use them, and they do not trust machines if they know how to use them. Send ten people everywhere to advertise that pumps don't eat people...

And the government office itself is still short of people.

Gao Wen sighed slightly.

In this land where everything is waiting to be done, as long as the fist is big, it can establish authority. As the founding hero of the country with the largest fist and authority, it is very easy for him to establish a principality, but to build this principality... It is not that simple. .

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

However, although the problem is difficult to solve, it is not without solutions. The rigid time cost may not be compressed, but just as the excrement of the ooze can be used as a substitute for rubber, some "alternatives" can be used to bypass it, or at least Partially bypassing the current difficulties is still feasible.

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 insufficient educational staff."

Heidi's eyes suddenly brightened: the wise old ancestor really lived up to his expectations, and there was a solution so soon, she immediately asked impatiently, "You mean..."

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

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

Heidi was a smart person, she just hadn't thought of this direction before, and now she was reminded a little by Gawain, and she instantly understood the ancestor's intention.

"This is really..." She couldn't help but breathe quickly, "This method is great!!"

"Don't get too excited, I'm not sure what its effect will be," Gao Wen calmed down the slightly excited Hetty, "First try adding an 'education' program group to the magic net broadcast, live broadcast of the general school. Courses, and another group of people - you can draw people from general schools - compile the basic and necessary knowledge of social common sense and other aspects, record them with photo crystals, and broadcast them on a regular basis. In addition, publications We also need to compile such books, focusing on how to farm, how to build a house, and how to use magic machines, and then publish them all over the country."

At present, the overall literacy rate in the southern border may not have reached the level that allows people to learn these books on their own. Most ordinary people also lack the initiative to learn. If you get the benefits, the "benchmarking effect" will show its power, and the motivation of ordinary people to learn new knowledge will be greatly improved. It was the "prime time" of the year, so Gawain had to prepare in advance.

"Yes," Hetty nodded immediately, "I will let Mr. Godwin and Mr. Santis organize the personnel in this area."

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

After an emergency adjustment by a large group of technicians, and after a simple test by Rebecca, the magic car that had just been lying in the nest started again and stopped firmly near Gawain.

"Lord Ancestor! Look! It's driving again!!" Rebecca sat on the rudimentary driver's seat of the magic car, holding the steering wheel with one hand and a lever with the other, happily following up Wen greeted, "And you see, I just asked Mr. Egg to add a clock to it to remind other vehicles and pedestrians..."

As Rebecca spoke, she pulled a lever next to the steering wheel, and a drum-like device on the side of the car rolled over immediately, and there was a loud and noisy crash of steel sheets from inside.

The sound of the steel plates colliding was much more disturbing than the noise of the car, and Hetty immediately covered her ears: "Turn off that thing quickly—did you put that thing on the car specifically to torture other people's ears? "

The Viscountess, however, was clearly satisfied with her creativity: "But this way, drivers don't have to yell to get pedestrians out of the way, as coachmen do when they hit the road!"

"I think the movement of your car is enough to let everyone know where it is," Hetty complained while rubbing her aching ears, "My God...you only took a few minutes. Ten minutes to come up with a new torture machine..."

"Is it really noisy?" Rebecca scratched her head, "I still think this thing is very useful, it's much smaller than its counterparts in mechanical clocks..."

Gawain watched Hetty and Rebecca's negotiation with tears and laughter. To be honest, he had never imagined that the prototype magic car had no whistle—if it wasn't for Rebecca's inspiration, the world's first car The mechanical car actually relies on the driver yelling to remind pedestrians and other vehicles to avoid - but on the other hand, he does think that Rebecca's new "warning clock" is too noisy...

"This device does work, but you'd better find a way to optimize its movement when you go back. You can't use an air bag to connect a copper pipe, and it's better to make a whistle than a bunch of steel sheets and a ram stuck in a drum. ," Gawain looked at Rebecca with a smile on his face, "Come down first, I have something to tell you."

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

"We need to teach ordinary people the basic knowledge of magic machines," Gawain said, "the most basic ones, including what is a repulsion mechanism, what is a magic engine, how does a magic furnace work, etc. knowledge like that."

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

Hetty stepped forward to straighten the girl's messy hair: "But now we have to teach these things to more people... so you should wash your hair first!"

(I’m going to push the book again! Spiritual Species, the title of the book is “Drinking This Bowl of Mengpo Soup”, I pushed it once before, and it is amazing that it has survived to this day. It even seems to be on the shelves recently. , This kind of milk that never dies often has something in the follow-up, and this is still a niche supernatural, it is worth looking forward to 23333.)
