Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1284 The Imperial Benefit Elise Visits

Xia Duo sees this very clearly. It is not in the interests of the empire for researchers to suppress the promotion of assistant researchers.

The current empire is not in its heyday, but in the state of peek-a-boo survivors after its collapse. No matter how rotten the high-level people are, can they all be rotten?

Under such circumstances, the higher-ups would like to consume resources as soon as possible to promote the development of magic, rather than fall into involution.

As for the development of magic, the research institute is the top priority. If the assistant researcher is not promoted, it seems that it will not affect the normal operation of the research institute, but in fact it makes the research institute dead.

For example, Rhodes, Huck and others, they can save projects in their hands, but they independently set up projects due to status restrictions. Perhaps these projects contain key technologies that can change the fate of the empire's remnants!

Once they can be promoted smoothly, a large number of new projects will immediately emerge. Even if it is just for luck, the chances of hitting a candidate will be higher.

The existence of Xia Duo now is simply a strange thing. He doesn't care whether the research institute is involved or not. He only cares about whether his research projects can be successfully outsourced.

As for the price for others, he doesn't care much, anyway, it's all a matter of "life or death".

Maybe the higher-ups will give him some support and let him stir up the stagnant water in the research institute!

……

Two days later, Xia Duo's laboratory joined five newcomers again, so Xia Duo took advantage of the opportunity to launch the project of "Resurrection - Perfect Recovery of the Link Between Body and Soul".

Related to the resurrection technique, it is not convenient to experiment on the main plane. After all, they are all living people. How can a virtual person in the projection plane be easy to use, and there is no psychological burden.

Anyway, when this projected plane dissolves in the astral world, everything will disappear.

With some existing research materials from the Remnants of the Empire as a basis, Xia Duo believes that no matter how bad this project is, it can eliminate some misunderstandings for him, so that he can do further research in the future.

However, after the establishment of this project, Xia Duo also received a notice from the management center of the research institute that the benefits for newcomers have ended, and future projects will have additional requirements, and their completion status will also be included in the review and inspection of new project approval in the future.

For this, Xia Duo deeply regretted that the benefits for only three projects were too little, and he regretted giving Ross the first project.

……

Two days later, another five newcomers joined Xia Duo's laboratory. At this time, the laboratory already had 15 high-level mages including Xia Duo.

This kind of quality, placed on the main plane of Netheril, is like a very strong mage tower organization. It is estimated that it will take about ten years for the Tower of Time to gather 15 high-level mages.

But ten years is just a normal upgrade time for ordinary mages. With the academic training mechanism of the Tower of Time at that time, by then, there will never be only 15 high-level mages, but batch after batch, perhaps tens of thousands of mages. Hundreds of tricks!

In fact, looking at the Inquisition Base of the Remnants of the Empire, we can calculate the future development of the Tower of Time. The total number of people in the Inquisition Base is only about 5 or [-].

But the proportion of high-level mages is ridiculously high, even higher than in the heyday of the empire. Xia Duo alone has seen hundreds of them with his own eyes, and there are even more others who have never seen them.

If there were still such a high proportion of high-level mages with a population of nearly ten million at that time, the empire might not have been destroyed.

High-level mages could still survive the catastrophe of destruction at that time. As long as they could escape the impact of the first wave of the most tragic magic net structure collapse (non-arcanists could not cast spells and could not protect themselves), there would be no problems in the future up.

In fact, the higher the proportion of high-level mages, the higher the proportion of arcanists and grand arcanists. This is a major change that can change the strategic pattern.

If there are more than [-] great arcanists among the survivors of the empire now, as in the heyday of the empire, it will be regarded as returning to the ground, and there is a high probability that Cormanthor will not dare to force it too much.

How can it be like this now that you have to be determined to wipe out the remnants of the empire.

……

of course.

Whether it is the empire period or the current period of the survivors, the policies of forced birth and compulsory education are too strict, that is to say, there is no internal collapse due to the pressure of a huge external crisis.

In the relatively peaceful environment of the main plane, you can't come like this.

Compulsory education is nothing more than compulsory education. This is what Xia Duo's hometown does. It is not difficult to accept it, and he is very happy to accept it.

But forced birth is too contrary to human nature. Even if Xia Duo really wants the population of the territory to develop rapidly, it is difficult to accept this way to achieve it.

He prefers to encourage procreation rather than force it.

……

The addition of newcomers made Xiaduo's laboratory crowded for a while, especially the most frequently used measurement equipment for precise measurement of specific parameters, which must be used by several project teams in turn.

Of the four project teams, except for Ross, who is a team of one person, the other three groups have an average of four or five people. Ross was the most affected, and almost quarreled over the equipment.

On the contrary, those fixed facilities that cannot be moved, such as the alchemy circle and the calming field, have not had any disputes over their use because of the spaciousness of the field.

After learning about this situation, Xia Duo was also thankful that he had only accepted more than ten people. If he had charged a few more, the laboratory would not have to work, and just arguing about the equipment would be enough to quarrel all day.

After dinner, after the leaders of the four project teams reported to Xia Duo the progress of the day, Ross made an expected request:

"I want to apply for a batch of materials to exchange for a batch of measuring equipment from 'Cashr Lab'!"

"Okay, you can get as much as you need, just make a record of the delivery." Xia Duo said generously.

In fact, the current laboratory material warehouse is managed by Ross, and the purchase of laboratory equipment is already within his purview, so there is no need to apply for it.

But people's respect is mutual, not to mention Ross's promotion is still in Xia Duo's hands.

As for the Cashel Laboratory, it is actually good at making measuring equipment. Instead of wasting time, wasting energy, and wasting materials by yourself, it is better to exchange it directly.

Of course, if you use points, you can switch to one with better performance and higher precision, but Ross obviously won't make such a request.

There is a certain monthly quota for laboratory materials, which belong to the public, and it is wasteful not to use them. On the contrary, the points are more like private property, and will not be easily wasted.

……

There is no sun or moon in the laboratory.

On this day, after having breakfast, Xia Duo was reviewing the project proposal that Huck had brought over. After a brief review, he was going to ask him to go to the management center to apply for project approval.

Just at this time, he received a summons from his old boss, Elise, asking him to meet at the academy square on the fourth floor.
