Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1583

Regarding Horst's directness, Steele and Mark didn't deliberately pick it up. They actually don't like that set when they come from the academy. If possible, they would prefer to be direct.

Therefore, they also responded directly to Horst's proposal: "We also have this intention. I wonder if Master Horst has any specific suggestions for cooperation?"

"Specific suggestions?"

Horst did not answer directly this time, but asked a question first: "What difficulties did you encounter in the process of completing this series of missions?"

As soon as the words fell, Steele shook his head and sighed one after another, "There are so many questions! We were talking just now!"

"Correct!"

At this time, Mark also echoed: "What kind of engineering design? How do we know this! We were all trying our luck before, and the result can be imagined. Every proposal submitted was returned."

Regarding this, Horst suddenly interjected, "I don't think there is any problem with this."

"No problem? Does Master Horst think so? Did you find something?" Mark asked quickly.

"During the period of receiving the task, the people in our research room have gradually worked out a set of design theories that just meet the above requirements, and in practice, we have also found that if complex magic facilities and buildings have special engineering Design, then, whether it is the stability in use, or the convenience and cost of later maintenance, it is better than no special design.”

"what--"

After Horst’s reminder, Mark and Steele also seemed to realize something. Although in the past they only made design attempts almost by chance, they also did a lot of test experiments.

Looking back at this moment, it is true that, as Horst said, specific engineering designs can play a positive role in complex magic facilities and buildings.

Thinking about the requirements of the task above, perhaps the above has discovered this point a long time ago, and assigning tasks to them at this time may be to give them a chance to learn and practice!

Thinking of this, Mark and Steele became more interested in the cooperation proposed by Horst, so they asked again: "Master Horst, what suggestions do you have for our cooperation?"

The Progressive Society advocates cooperation. Although Horst joined the Progressive Society later than Mark and Steele, he also knew and agreed with the Progressive Society’s philosophy, so he said:
"It's very simple. We concentrate all the manpower, material resources, equipment, and facilities that can be mobilized by the three research laboratories to concentrate on tackling key problems, and the final mission income will be shared equally among the three parties!"

"That's it!"

Mark and Steele looked at each other, agreed without much hesitation, and asked, "What about the specific cooperation?"

"Didn't I just say that? Our research office has initially explored a set of design theories. For the time being, we will focus on our method. If you have any different opinions during the period, you can bring them up for discussion and verification at any time. If your The idea is better, and it is only natural to use yours."

Horst doesn't mind whose method he adopts. He is most concerned about being able to complete the mission and gain something from this mission. As for why Mark and Steele must be brought in, of course——

"If we want to complete this task, our existing staff is far from enough, but not long ago, the Progressive Society just issued a proposal to encourage the reduction of members of the Society and to join the Academic Affairs Office.

"It's too difficult to recruit people for the research lab now. You have a good relationship with the Committee of Five. See if you can talk to them and ask them to reserve a group of people for us."

In fact, Horst not only wants Mark and Steele to ask for people, even now, the research labs established by Mark and Steele after them have more members than the first batch of him. .

The new mages who have recently obtained official ranks are almost all members of the Entrance Society, and when they choose their employment direction, in addition to considering their own conditions and goals, they will also be largely influenced by the Entrance Society.

At the group meeting of the Advancement Society not long ago, a proposal to reduce part-time jobs was put forward, but almost everyone gave up their part-time jobs. When it was said to support the Academic Affairs Office, most of the people who originally gave up part-time jobs directly chose to join the Academic Affairs Office.

That is to say, after the group meeting not long ago, not only did the independent research laboratories fail to benefit from the ever-increasing wave of new mages, but instead they were overwhelmed with many things due to the lack of part-time staff.

In the past, Horst always thought that the highly mobile part-timers would only bring troubles. Those who leave today will have to be taught again tomorrow, but in fact, the number of new mages in the Tower of Time is not so large that it cannot be counted. degree.

Even if you are a part-timer, after a long time, you can basically take turns in each department. Isn't that a skilled worker!
And one more important point is that the low wages of part-timers can greatly reduce the operating costs of the laboratory. For the head of an independent research laboratory like Horst, part-timers are actually not that bad.

"How many people do Master Horst think we need?" Steele asked.

"Of course, the more the better!" Horst said without hesitation.

"This is impossible!"

Steele shook his head again and again, "It's not that you don't know that there is a shortage of people in the Academic Affairs Office. Now it mainly promotes moral education courses, and there are some magic affairs officers. Because it is in the president's territory, many people have submitted applications and left it to us. There are even fewer people, so let’s be accurate!”

"Alas—" Horst sighed, "When the new apprentices first came in, I thought there were too many people in the Tower of Time, but now I feel that there are too few people."

Of course, he just sighed. In fact, if he is willing to wait, there will be more and more new mages with official ranks as time goes by.

"Now there are 9 people on my side, and there are 26 people in your two research labs. That's 35 people. I think we have to gather 50 people!"

"50 people! You are really welcome!"

Having said that, Steele didn't refute, because he also felt the need to increase manpower, but the gap of 15 people is not easy to fill!
"By the way, Mark, I remember that you just recruited someone a few days ago. Do you know that there are still unassigned files in the Personnel Department?"

"No, and even if there is, it's reserved for others, and it's not our turn at all. If you expect the personnel department to assign it, it's better to go directly to the public floor and shout!" Mark complained a few words.

It's really not easy to recruit people, so what about independent research labs, a research lab like his, which has just been established and has no results at all, can't attract full-time staff to join under normal circumstances, and can only find part-time jobs.

The person he recruited before was a level 3 apprentice whom he had contacted directly, and supported him to pass the rank examination, which was why he let him join his laboratory.

Hearing the conversation between Steele and Mark, Horst's heart sank, and he put his last hope on Steele.
