What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 108 The Library Project

"Have all the blacksmiths in the city gathered?"

Colin watched a group of people in uniform blue coats pass by not far away.

To set an example, he and Wald put on the same blue "uniform" before entering the workshop.

"Yes, my lord, today should be the last batch."

"That's good, let them get familiar with the work here as soon as possible. In addition, the craftsman apprentices among the students can also come here for internship in advance."

"This has already been done." Wald said with a smile: "A large part of the work in the paper workshop is done by students using their extracurricular time."

"You have the potential to be a profiteer, Mr. Walder." Colin couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you for your compliment." Wald bowed with a smile.

"Speaking of paper, starting from this month, half of the current output will be distributed, and I will use it for other purposes." Ke Lin said.

"Yes." Wald asked: "My lord, may I ask what you are going to do?"

Ke Lin didn't answer but asked instead: "Do you still remember the 'copier' I asked you to transform based on the principle of the photo machine last time?"

"Of course." Wald said: "The textbooks used by teachers in the school are their masterpieces."

No matter in terms of magic patterns or engineering technology, the structure of copiers is much simpler than that of photocopiers, after all, the function of the former is more single.

Technologies similar to woodblock printing are not uncommon in this world, but they cannot be compared with copiers in terms of cost or quality.

"When I came here, I brought a batch of books from the teacher's mage tower, but to be honest, in the long run, these are far from enough. After students receive basic education, whether it is to continue learning or research, it is far from enough. Do not open a large number of books."

"You mean..." Wald seemed to understand what Colin was thinking.

"We must have our own library." Colin made up his mind solemnly.

"Magicians Association?" Wald quickly responded.

"That's right, I hope to copy all the books in the association library and bring them to Twilight City."

"But this workload..." Wald got a headache thinking about it.

"This is a long-term job. I will let Roy constantly transport the paper and copied books back and forth. You only need to ensure the supply of paper. In addition, the drawings and key components of the copier will be sent to Youjin together." Chamber of Commerce, I believe Eleanor and Angelo should be easy to create."

Colin desperately misses electronic scanning and network transmission now.

Roy can only go back and forth once every two months. Even with the current paper quality, it may take several years to copy the entire association library.Coupled with the fact that library books are constantly changing and adding, this work will not stop for a long time.

As for whether the association agrees, I believe it will not be a problem if His Majesty and the teacher come forward.

Of course, this matter is still very troublesome.

For example, who will handle it?Which books should be copied first?How to make copies as quickly as possible without affecting the operation of the library.

Colin didn't think about it that much. His solution was to let the teacher worry about it.

And his ultimate goal is not just the association library.

The three major official magic organizations in the mainland:

Youlan Alliance Magic Federation;
Royal Council of Magic of the Othic Empire;
Association of Magicians of the Kingdom of Tulum.

These three are roughly equal in terms of status, and they are all qualified for the magician level assessment, and they agree with each other's assessment results.

That is to say, elementary magicians who passed the assessment of the Tulum Magicians Association can be recognized in the Western Continent.

But in terms of the number of books, the library at the headquarters of the Youlan Alliance Magic Federation is more than the latter two combined.

How to "copy" to the other party's collection when the Western Continent is wary of Tulun is a "technical" issue that needs careful consideration.

Xia Ya must have her own library, and be no worse than others - this is the Lord Lord's obsession.

……

……

July is the unique harvest season for the Winter Fortress.

The rye and wheat are fully ripe, and the ears of wheat weigh the stalks upright, and when the wind blows, the heavy swaying is very reassuring.

Sofia is waiting for a sunny day, ready to harvest and dry in one go.

The farmers in Twilight City have not done any farm work for two months, and all their land has been taken back by the lord. Although they promised to redistribute it later, nothing has been confirmed, so they are always not at ease, not to mention missing the unique local autumn sowing , This season's gray kidney beans can't be planted-this is equivalent to missing half a year's harvest.

The days without going to the ground are easy, but the confusion about the future makes these people worried.

until a certain day.

……

Ke Lin stood on a high slope, looking down at the large crowd happily harvesting the wheat in the field.

"My lord, there is no need for so many people at all."

Sophia stood sideways, and was also delighted by the harvest scene, but couldn't understand why the lord wanted all the farmers in Twilight City to participate in the harvest.

"I know." Colin smiled and said, "But this will give them confidence."

"confidence?"

"The land has always belonged to farmers, and they will still be needed to plant it in the future, but if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how many people would believe that food can be grown in such a place?"

"I understand." Sophia nodded: "However, with such seeds and such a high yield, do we still need so many people to plant the land this year?"

"I will send some people out to expand the team of the fortress defenders."

Ke Lin brought this matter up lightly, and then said: "However, agriculture is fundamental, and the number of farmers should not be reduced too much at once. This year we need to open up more land, plant more types of crops, and try better quality crops. Planting methods, these are inseparable from people."

The improved seed can adapt to the local environment, but this does not mean that it can be left to grow freely.

Things like better care and better fertilizers can still greatly increase yields.

"My lord, I've always had a doubt." Sophia said suddenly.

"Oh?"

"I have seen your improved seeds, and there is no trace of grafting at all. How on earth did you manage to modify the third line of the γ main chain without destroying the outer skin of the germ?" for a long time.

"This is..."

Colin didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Of course he couldn't reveal the secrets of space magic, but it was not easy to find an excuse to fool a talented student who graduated from Cambridge High School of Magic with a major in botany.

"Miss Sophia, to be honest, I have no way to explain this issue clearly to you." After Colin finished speaking, he changed the subject very bluntly: "How many more days will the harvesting work take?"

From Sophia's ears, the meaning of the lord is already obvious - you are still unable to understand such a high-end technology at your level.

The ashamed "Minister of Agriculture" secretly decided to work hard, and immediately replied: "Now there are enough people, and it will be enough in two days."

"That's good." Colin nodded.

……

late at night.

In the laboratory on the top floor of the castle.

Colin stood in front of a huge instrument.

After numerous modifications, the "Wind Nuclear Collider", which was originally only the size of a suitcase, is now unbelievably large.

It looks like two single-person showers standing side by side, without too many complicated structures, but if you look closely, there are so many magic patterns on it that it makes your scalp tingle.

This is the final result after Colin came to the fortress and spent nearly 9 months.

At the same time, it is also a huge leap forward in space magic.

The laboratory was not lit. Under the dim environment, Colin had been standing silently for more than an hour.

In the end, he took a deep breath, took a step forward, and stood on the huge magic circle of the wind core collider.
