Chapter 129 Technology Tree
"Do you need me to send some assistants?"
Ji Lin looked at the dean who was sitting on a chair, drinking sugarcane juice produced in the territory and writing quickly on paper.
"I don't think the current education level in the territory can provide me with assistants. If it comes to physical work, the militia will be enough."
The latter rejected Ji Lin's proposal without a doubt and said jokingly.
"I am responsible for the construction of the college. You are also aware of the current education level in the territory, unless you can transfer two technical officers to assist me."
This is of course impossible. Everyone has a heavy task.
Now some of the outstanding children and adults selected by the territory are already doing pre-class preparation. They have to make up the basics of mathematics and physics to the minimum level that can keep up with the courses to be offered by the School of Engineering within two months.
Prepare for the future study of runes and engineering in the School of Engineering.
Ji Lin walked aside and flipped through the piles of documents, which were filled with detailed numbers, formulas, and symbols. Multiple layers of fine lines connect and build to form a framework.
He is not good at mathematics and took a few glances.
It's so itchy, it seems like I need to grow a brain.
The knowledge possessed by the dean is not equal to that possessed by the territory. This knowledge must be transformed into easy-to-understand and replicable solutions - standardized - before industrial production can be carried out.
The dean is no longer needed to participate, and the people in the territory can also manufacture it relying on the industrial system.
The technology of steam spiders has been developed, and the data of these steam spiders are stored on paper and stacked together.
Of course, there is no need to worry that these technical data will be burned out by a fire, or lost for various personal reasons, causing the technology of the territory to regress.
This is another auxiliary support provided by the system for them, the assistance on the technology tree.
All their technical achievements will be automatically uploaded to the system after the research results, and these data will be permanently stored in the database and can be called at any time.
If it is accidentally damaged, it can be read at any time.
They can have such a fast research and development speed, which is also inseparable from this.
99% of the time of human civilization's technical research is trial and error, and the remaining 1% of the time is to move forward along the right path.
Those theories that seem absurd now are nothing but forks in the human technology accumulation, and forks may also lead to the right path - for example, the invention of gunpowder, which is often talked about, originated from an attempt by alchemists to pursue immortality.
Science is not something that can be taken shortcuts.
Forever fifty years of nuclear fusion, what is the correct route for the Tokamak reactor?
The system will directly point you in a roughly correct direction, greatly reducing the cost of research and development - investing the right resources in the right direction.
Most of the time, humans apply physical phenomena earlier than discovering the true principles behind these physical phenomena.
We need to use a technology/natural phenomenon, and we don't need to really understand the principles behind it.
The same is true for runes and spells.
Galileo discovered from the Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment that the speed of an object's descent is independent of its mass, and it was not until the emergence of Newton that gravity was accurately resolved into a formula.
Before them, the users of catapults used this physical phenomenon in military affairs earlier, even though they did not know about gravity at that time.
Earlier, primitive people swung their slings, carrying kinetic energy and force to hit their prey.
In their time, there was no kinetic energy formula, no gravitational acceleration formula.
This did not prevent them from observing phenomena and applying them to all aspects of life.
"So this is the first-level research result of runeology?"
Ji Lin picked up the iron sheet that fell on the table, and the lines engraved on the gray-black iron sheet were connected on it. The sharp pen tip looked like it was engraved casually.
Thirty pieces of iron sheets, although the lines on each piece are slightly different, the general structure is similar.
Ji Lin has seen that this kind of primary rune is still the most basic in use, inputting energy and outputting physical phenomena.
Very primitive, but still able to play their role and ability.
Primitive, without any improvement of runes.
A little curious, he did not invest much energy in these runes and spells in his previous life.
As long as a weapon is effective, there is no need to care about what it is made of.
"Heat rune, electric rune, light rune."
Xu Shan put a dozen pages aside, which were all about the initial rune information.
Part of his memory had been blocked by the system before he arrived, but the remaining relevant knowledge was left for him with a little conscience.
As long as the energy is directly input, the physical phenomenon can be triggered according to the input power.
Heat, electric energy, light.
Environmental energy absorption rune must be at least second-level to obtain, as for the repulsion buffer rune used on the steam spider...that is the technology of third-level rune literature, it is indeed a little tricky, too much tricky.
Ji Lin looked at the steam spider lying in front of the academy not far away.
The price of tricky is that even if he has advanced military units, he cannot make any systematic modifications and improvements to them, whether it is musketeers or steam spiders.
There is no problem with personalized modification.
"Can it be used like this?"
Ji Lin picked up a piece of iron and observed it in his hand. There was nothing special about it. It was rougher than the runes he had seen before.
"Ah, yes, all of them can be used. The reason I carved different pieces of iron is because I want to find the best route and see which one is more suitable."
The dean muttered, and his hands never stopped moving.
It was not information, but a handwritten admission notice. He wanted to send these admission notices to the newly enrolled students in Tran one by one.
The first reason for handwriting is that handwriting is sincere, so that students can feel the deep concern and strong love of him, the dean, and strengthen the students' sense of identity with the college.
The secondary reason is that there is no printing technology in the territory.
"I also want to try whether the magic and runes can be transformed into each other. I almost set this office on fire."
Ji Lin nodded, pressed his fingertips on the iron sheet, and the blue-white gas mass was injected into the rune like a silk thread under his control.
Filling, resonance, release.
Warm.
The iron sheet is heating up, slowly raising its own temperature.
In the era promotion column, the demand for technology research and development has changed from the initial (0/15) to (7/15).
Carts, four-wheeled trucks, iron smelting, iron tool manufacturing, canal construction, auxiliary wooden buildings, this kind of ordinary livelihood technology is also considered technology.
The count of important technologies such as runes and physics technology is the same as that of woodworking technology, and they all increase by 1.
It’s just that they take almost more time than the previous ones combined.
He needs to develop 8 more technologies to start the test of era promotion and move on to the next era.
Outside the window, on an open space not far away, a tall building is rising from the ground on one side of the engineering college.
With the help of the system’s great power, this wonder no longer requires manpower, but only resources.
It seems that there are invisible hands in the air that construct the building. The shock of the small building is completely incomparable to the shock brought by this wonder-level large building. Every detail can be seen, and every brick is generated in sight.
After having technology and technical information, the library finally has a collection... and the empty large library is useless.
The bonus on paper is nothing, and the bonus will gradually increase with the collection... If you don't have books, don't even think about getting its bonus!
This is why he never chose to give up this wonder before.
It takes a long time to build, consumes a lot of resources, and occupies a large area.
The funds invested in building the wonder are enough for him to cultivate fields and build houses, which are more important than the wonder.
Wonders are harmful to the country.
When Xu Shan goes to pick up students, he will buy a batch of books and put them in to fill the library.
Ji Lin thought so while playing with the iron sheet in his hand that was already emitting warmth and engraved with thermal runes.
He wanted to point out the two technologies of gunpowder and metal casting.
After these two technologies were completed, the territory officially had the qualifications to manufacture modern musketeers.
And his were not ordinary modern musketeers, but specialized giant musketeers with greater power and longer range.
The musketeers of the Imperial Age can be manufactured in the territory now. Because the territory has crystal ore gunpowder powder as a substitute, it does not need gunpowder from normal channels, but the cost-effectiveness is not high.
For Ji Lin, the early long-barreled large-caliber muskets used in the Imperial Age have the advantages of bows and crossbows in production: no animal tendons are needed to make bow ropes, but the cost is that a large amount of steel is needed to be used as the barrel of the musket.
Steel is a secondary industry with very low output, and the price of tendons in the market is much lower than that of steel.
Technological civilization can slightly leapfrog the times and use more resources and time to pile up the next era of technology to establish its own dominant position.
The river that Wu Bai reported to him before found drifting objects falling from the upstream, so he had to adjust his technology research and development path in time.
Otherwise, he would like to add more livelihood technology to improve the productivity of the people in the territory, and then add military technology when he lives a better life.
