Chapter 498: Alternatives to Gawain

After confirming where the problem is, the next thing to do is a series of repairs, redesign, assembly, testing...

With Nicholas Egg, a super-god-level precision lathe, all of this is carried out extremely quickly. Basically, it only takes a minute or two for a part to be installed in the machine from the design plan to the actual finished product.

Seeing the mechanical bachelors and magic technicians busy retesting the entire system around the platform, Hetty couldn't help but shook her head and sighed: "Rebecca... is too unsteady, she should perfect it. I'll report back to you after the test."

"It was I who asked her to report as soon as she had a sample," Gao Wen looked at Rebecca, who was busy among a group of technical experts and gave instructions to the 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... As far as I can see, this kid is doing pretty well."

Even Hetty, who has always been very strict with Rebecca (although the strict requirements have no effect), can't say anything to refute at this moment. She watched Rebecca who was immersed in the machine world from a distance, and then spoke softly after a long time. Sigh: "...Yeah...she's done a really good job, and she's brought out so many equally talented apprentices... If someone had told me two years ago that Rebecca could do it all, I'd have thought that People are here to scam money."

"There are many talented people in this world, but not everyone can find a place to display their talents. Fortunately, Cecil can give these people opportunities, so our next step is to attract more capable people. people to join these projects," Gao Wen asked while talking, "how is the progress of talent recruitment and education and training work recently?"

"The fact that there are a large number of craftsmen and low-level Transcendents or Transcendent Apprentices responding to the government affairs department's recruitment of the Cecil family to unify the southern border has given these people great confidence, and the new propaganda methods can also attract them from all over the world. However, it may take a long time to transform these people into qualified mechanical bachelors and magic technicians... Their original skill levels are uneven, different genres, and lack of standard industrial concepts. It only takes three days to recruit a thousand apprentices. It takes less than half a year to train them to be able to work in the factory, and it is even more troublesome to get them to enter the laboratory, basically all rely on talent, and the pass rate is less than 10%, "Hetty said with a worried face , "As you said, if we want to truly solve the talent gap, we still need to promote basic education. Only schools can cultivate talents in large quantities, with high quality and with uniform standards like factories produce products."

Gawain knew what Hetty was going to say next, he nodded slightly: "But at this stage we don't have enough schools... nor enough teachers, not even enough government affairs staff to study how the schools work, right?"

"As you said, the gap is too big. It's so big that it makes people desperate. If the house is not enough, you can work overtime to build it. If the machine is not enough, you can use manpower to make it up. But the teacher's training... can't be accelerated," Hetty frowned. The tone was serious, "After the industrial printing press came out, we managed to solve the problem of not enough textbooks, but we didn't have enough teachers to teach them. The knowledge that junior teachers recruited from the private sector can be useful in schools is basically only spelling and basic arithmetic. …”

Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and continued: "The most lacking at this stage is the teachers who teach the four courses of basic rune literature, general knowledge of magic industry, general knowledge of Cecil society, and comprehensive thinking. The knowledge in this area is new. Before going to class, the teacher has to take the class for half a year, so that he can barely teach others, and he has to come back to make up the class while he is in class, because new knowledge is constantly emerging.”

The problem Hetty mentioned is one of the most serious problems that Cecil faced after the expansion of his territory, and it is also a problem that cannot be "accelerated". The five cities are used as a benchmark, and a large number of general education schools have been built with the coverage of the cross axis, but no matter which school is facing a serious teacher shortage , but a bit more complex knowledge than that...

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

In addition to these seemingly professional courses, general social education 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 lamp, and how to use it. How to irrigate the ground with a water pump, how to beat grain with a thresher...

The first problem to be faced after the promotion of these new things is that ordinary people dare not use them at all. Personally go everywhere to promote that water pumps don't eat people...

Moreover, the government affairs office itself is still short of people.

Gawain sighed slightly.

In this land where everything is waiting to be done, authority can be established as long as the fist is large, as the founding hero with the largest fist and authority, it is very easy for him to establish a principality, but it is not so simple to build this principality.

He can establish a country in one year, but it takes many years to govern the country...

However, although the problem is difficult, it is not without a solution. The hard time cost may not be compressed, but just like the excrement of the slime monster can be used as an alternative to rubber, use some "alternatives" to bypass, or at least It is still feasible to partially bypass the current difficulty.

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 in the absence of educators."

Hetty's eyes brightened up immediately: the always wise ancestor really lived up to expectations, and had a solution so soon, she immediately asked impatiently: "You mean..."

"Long-distance education," Gao Wen said, "use the magic net to send knowledge out."

Thanks to the special development route of magic technology, and also thanks to the technology accumulation of this world itself. Who would have thought that in a world with a social structure similar to that of the Middle Ages, the remote holographic communication network could appear earlier than the highway

Hetty is a smart person, she just didn't think of this direction before, and now she was reminded slightly by Gao Wen, and she instantly understood the intention of her ancestors.

"This is really..." She even couldn't help breathing 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 Heidi, "First try to add an 'education' program group to the Magic Network broadcast, live broadcast of the general education school. Curriculum, another group of people can be organized from the general education school to compile the basic and necessary knowledge of social common sense and other aspects, record it with photo crystals, and broadcast it in a regular cycle. In addition, publications must also be compiled Books of this type focus on how to farm, how to build a house, and how to use magic machines, and then publish them all over the country."

The overall literacy rate in the southern border may not have reached the level where people can learn these books by themselves, and most ordinary people also lack the initiative to learn, but when the grain harvest is next year, those who actively learn new knowledge and respond positively to the government affairs department If you get real benefits, the "benchmarking effect" will show its power, and the motivation of ordinary people to learn new knowledge will be greatly improved. One year's "golden time", so Gao Wen had to make preparations in advance.

"Yes," Hetty nodded immediately, "I will let Mr. Godwin and Mr. Santis organize the manpower for this."

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

After emergency adjustments by a large group of technicians, and a simple test by Rebecca, the magic guided vehicle that had just lay on the ground started up again and stopped steadily near Gao Wen.

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

While talking, Rebecca yanked a certain lever next to the steering wheel, and a drum-shaped device on the side of the car immediately rolled over, and there was a loud and noisy sound of steel plates colliding 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 that thing off quickly, are you installing that thing on the car to torture other people's ears?"

However, the Viscountess is obviously very satisfied with her creative ability: "But this way, the drivers don't have to rely on shouting to let the pedestrians get out of the way like the coachman when he is on the road!"

"I think the sound of your car moving is enough for everyone to know where it is," Hetty complained while rubbing her sore ears, "My God...you only used a few dozen Come up with a new little tormenting machine in minutes..."

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

Gawain looked at the negotiation between Heidi and Rebecca dumbfounded. To be honest, he never thought that the prototype magic car would have no horn. He actually had to rely on the driver to yell to remind pedestrians and other vehicles to pay attention, but on the other hand, he did think that Rebecca's newly invented "warning clock" was too noisy...

"This device is indeed useful, but you'd better find a way to optimize its movement in the future. If you can't connect a copper pipe with an air bag, it's better to make a whistle than a bunch of steel sheets and rams stuffed in the drum. "Gao Wen looked at Rebecca with a smile on his face, "You come down first, I have something to tell you."

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

"We need to teach ordinary people the basic knowledge of magic machines," Gao Wen 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 have taught it before!"

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

(I'm going to push the book again! Supernatural, the title of the book is "Drink This Bowl of Meng Po Soup", which was pushed once before, and it is surprising that it has survived to this day. Recently, it even seems to be on the shelves. After thinking about it... Push it again, This kind of milk immortality often has something in the follow-up, and this is still a niche supernatural, it is worth looking forward to 23333.)
