Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1104 Advanced Methodology of Thought Remolding

"In addition, there is another thing you need to pay attention to. There are nearly [-] people in the Daxia Territory. As the governor of the territory, you need to appear in various formal occasions. It is somewhat inappropriate to wear this old leather armor.

"In the next few days, you can go back to Savile through the Tower of Time. I will ask the mayor of Thain to arrange someone to tailor your clothes for you and customize a few dresses suitable for formal occasions."

After Xia Duo finished speaking, Leiden suddenly "ah", then looked up and down the old leather armor that he had worn for a long time, and said rather annoyedly:

"My lord, I should have thought of it a long time ago. I will go to the Savile collar later."

"Well, this matter is not just about you alone. Officials from various ministries in the territory will also take time to go there, so I won't talk about it. You can inform it when the time comes!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After thinking about it, Xia Duo still felt that it was not enough, so he said: "The security officers of the public security station and the soldiers of the territory guard usually have standard combat equipment, and the staff of various departments of the territory also need a set of neat and decent work uniforms. , the style is tentatively determined to be the robes of the Tower of Time apprentices, with their respective names and positions embroidered on the chest."

In fact, the apprentice robes of the Tower of Time are not very formal, neat, or decent, but compared to the various dresses of those people now, they are still neat, decent, and formal.

Moreover, Xia Duo's intention was not just to change the uniforms of those office workers, but to break some of the superior sanctity brought about by the identity of the caster.

Of course, it is impossible to change it with a set of clothes, but it can continue to be subtle. Today it may be "so this is the feeling of a mage apprentice", and tomorrow it may become "maybe I can also become a master mage".

And the day after tomorrow, it may become "Mages are like this"!
The Tower of Time now has nearly a thousand apprentices, and after two or three years, a large number of formal mages will emerge, and it is inevitable that some mages will be assigned to various departments in the territory.

Academy-style teaching can be called a crash course. The mages trained in this way may no longer look down on ordinary people as they did in the past, because they know that their achievements are not as difficult as they thought before. From an ordinary person to a full-fledged mage , just a few years.

In addition, they are all children of various families in the territory. After breaking away the sacredness of the spellcasters in the territory, ordinary people in the territory can get along with them better.

Of course, friction and even conflicts will almost certainly appear, but in the early days, everything in the territory is under Xia Duo's control, and he has enough time to get used to it slowly.

Find out the best distance and relationship between people with different identities in the future magic civilization.

Although Xia Duo feels that arcanists will definitely become a mainstream in the future, similar to college students on Earth, as long as they are willing to train, almost everyone can go to college.

But even in the most developed regions on earth, not everyone can become a college student, and resources are limited, so we must give priority to cultivating those who perform better.

Under the university, high school, junior high school is also the same.

In the magical world, unless there are unlimited resources and unlimited time to pile up, it must be a very long historical process for ordinary people and spellcasters to exist at the same time. (Ordinary people have received magic education, and even mastered some spellcasting abilities, but compared to the real professional, they seem amateur and ordinary)
If we don't handle the relationship between ordinary people and spellcasters well now, when the number of people increases in the future, the internal factions will become intertwined. Although it may not be impossible to deal with it, the cost of dealing with it will be much higher than it is now.

Of course, ordinary people in the future may not necessarily be the group of non-casters referred to now.

In the future, magic education will definitely be popularized. Ordinary people will also receive magic education, and even master a lot of spellcasting abilities proficiently, but compared to the truly professional ones, they seem amateurish and ordinary.

In the same way, spellcasters will also be subdivided into various new occupations that meet the needs of the development of civilization. It is completely different from the current spellcasters, which only refer to people who can cast spells.

Perhaps the relationship between spellcasters of different professions is even more difficult to coordinate!

Xia Duo has a solid understanding of this point. Before crossing over here, his two identities—programmer and network writer—often suffered from various prejudices.

Even within programmers and writers, there are tangible or invisible chains of contempt.

It is difficult to imagine the difficulty of creating a brilliant magical civilization that does not belong to the civilization of the earth.

Of course, Xia Duo does not need to handle everything personally, strictly control all variables, and shape the future magic civilization according to his own ideas.

His ideas are largely influenced by the civilization of the earth, and they are not necessarily suitable for the development of the local magic civilization. It is still necessary to combine reality and adapt measures to local conditions in order to truly cultivate a sweet and wonderful fruit of civilization, rather than a smelly and corrupt distortion. fruit.

Fortunately, Xia Duo's education let him know that a correct methodology is far more important than countless specific and definite methods.

The scientific outlook on development can undoubtedly be used to guide the development of magic civilization.

And a harmonious society may not only appear in the world of science and technology.

In fact, in Xia Duo's understanding, magic is science, and it's just a difference in terms. Who can say that magic, a knowledge system that can be repeatedly verified within a certain range, is not science!

We must know that at the beginning of the birth of earth science, it was also called "witchcraft". It was because of the formation of a verifiable system that it became a "science".

If the time is advanced tens of thousands of years into the future, the science at that time may also be called "magic" by the people of Xia Duo's time.

Real science is not just the knowledge system developed in a certain era on the earth, but also the methodology for developing that verifiable knowledge system.

In the Chardonnay scrolls, I have seen many primitive magics that are completely different from Nether magic and elf magic. Those magics may be called "witchcraft".

There are also many magic systems that have just taken shape, but unfortunately, they have not been able to develop to the present in the end, and can only become a mark of a certain era recorded in the [Naishi Scroll].

The reason may be attributed to - being confused by various specific and practical spells, thus ignoring the principles and essence behind these spells.

After all, the magic in this world (as intelligent beings think) is often born in the form of some practical technology at first, such as the shaman who communicated with the will of the elements to cast elemental spells.

Often more emphasis is placed on the phenomenon of magic rather than its essence.

In other words, technology is more important than theory, let alone a methodology specially used to guide development.

This is actually a bit similar to the various "black technologies" in Xia Duo's hometown in ancient times. The technology is very powerful, but it may be that the scientific methodology has not been summed up, which leads to real science many years later than the West.

The Nether magic system, as a relatively mature magic system, although the Nether mages did not clearly put forward any methodology, in fact they have been unconsciously and simply applying it. (Elves too, but are going downhill)

Without Shadow's intervention, Netheril might have been able to stumble and develop a magical civilization, but with Xiaduo, its development speed would definitely increase significantly.

And it can avoid many unnecessary disadvantages in the development process.

This is the confidence and confidence brought to Xia Duo by mastering advanced methodology.
