Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2048

All in all, whether it is a newly established laboratory or an earlier establishment, they all have a high desire for new blood. The advanced ones need to constantly replenish new blood to maintain their competitiveness, while the temporarily lagging ones may be able to rely on the introduction of new blood. Blood to achieve a counterattack.

Xia Duo often heard a sentence when he was a child, saying that "the most valuable thing in the 21st century is talent". In fact, it is not just the 21st century on earth. Realize the importance of talent.

Not only is it about the development itself, but it can also be used to obtain the (number) subsidy of the Tower of Time. As long as you choose the right person, you will win twice directly.

Even if you don't choose the right one, as long as you choose, and then don't make big mistakes or make radical investments, you can still guarantee that you won't lose money. This is the transformation bonus of the Tower of Time.

Therefore, after Xia Duo mentioned the priority selection, all the heads of independent research offices widened their eyes and looked at the other heads around them vigilantly.

In addition to the collective rewards based on the research laboratory, Xia Duo is also very particular about preparing customized communication instruments for individuals.

Leaving aside the communication function for the time being, Xia Duo, a great arcanist, can only customize magic items, and if they are sold outside, they will be sold in units of at least [-].

The communication function is naturally not as simple as a simple second-generation communication magic weapon. Xia Duo is already preparing to conduct communication fanlock experiments within the Tower of Time, and those customized communication magic tools are distributed fanlock nodes.

Of course, Niya is mainly in charge of the communication fanlock experiment, and Xia Duo only does some support work. He believes that Niya, who has improved through his tutoring, is absolutely qualified for this project.

……

After Xia Duo finished speaking, everyone in the conference room responded very strongly. Tilak, a member of the five-member committee of the Academy and the head of the independent research room, couldn't even wait for a moment, and asked on the spot:
"President, when can you start working?"

"Forget about today, and start tomorrow, but you can already prepare today."

With that said, Xia Duo took out two stacks of books from his portable space and put them in a corner of the conference room, then continued: "Those are the "Construction Manuals" I prepared for you, which contain specific construction details and acceptance criteria, and there are many enough manpower One, take it back and read after the meeting is over."

"President, what else do you want to order?"

When Tilak was speaking, his eyes had involuntarily glanced at the corner of the conference room where the "Construction Manual" was placed, Xia Duo pretended not to see it, and continued to say the next thing:

"It has been more than two years since the transformation of the Tower of Time. It is estimated that by the first half of next year, the number of new mages will show a blowout trend and increase year by year. I wonder if you feel the crisis?"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the conference room suddenly changed their faces. They don't need to wait until next year. Even now, and even in the past for quite a while, they have already felt the pressure and the crisis!
Young people like Xiang Tilak are better off. The official mages that existed during the Epps lord period are the ones who are under the greatest pressure. In the past, the number of official mages in the Tower of Time was limited, but now they appear one after another.

Even the middle-level mages felt the almost unstoppable pressure behind them—there were already transformed new mages who successfully passed the mid-level professional exams!
But when I get older, my brain is often not as good as that of young people. Not to mention that most of my career as a teacher is adapting to the old system. When I suddenly switch to the new system, I can barely adapt to it. I can’t be like young people at all. Like a duck to water.

The typical example of this is De Parker. Although he is a high-level mage, he entered the middle age under the guidance of Xia Duo. Although there is still hope for an advanced arcanist, he knows that he will eventually It can't compare to those young people.

With the current development trend of the Tower of Time, I am afraid that only arcanists will be able to gain a foothold in the future.

For a person who almost grew up with the Tower of Time, while feeling gratified, it is also a bit lonely.

At this moment, Xia Duo felt all kinds of complicated gazes from everyone, which was completely within his expectation, and although he was more optimistic about the younger generation, it did not mean that he would abandon the old old system.

"Everyone, feel the crisis! Feel the pressure! It's good to feel it. The most fearful thing is those who only know how to indulge in the so-called glory of the past, and are left behind step by step by reality.

"I know it may be cruel to say this, but I still want to say that if there is no miracle, many of you will be reduced to low-class people within three years!"

"Master Xiaduo, what do you mean by that? Is it just to humiliate us?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but explode, but it was very limited. Just from the title, Xia Duo could tell that the other party hadn't stepped out of the shadow of the old system.

He has emphasized more than once in the Tower of Time that whether it is a formal occasion or a private meeting, he can be called directly by his name, or Master Xia Duo or President Xia Duo, without the need to use an honorific title.

Of course, Xia Duo would actually prefer others to call him the president—the president of the society should be regarded as the most important identity he recognizes in the future.

But the remnants of the old system still fear him more than respect him. Has he been brutal in the Tower of Time for so long?

Of course not, Xia Duo is not only not cruel, but also very kind, so why do those survivors of the old system still fear him more than respect him?
Obviously it is the legacy of the old era and the old system. They are not as easy to accept the new system, new era, and new order as young people!

……

Xia Duo secretly sighed in his heart, and then continued: "The reason why I said this is to give you a chance, to give you a hand, so that you will not be left behind by the development of the Tower of Time."

"President, do you have our share?"

It was Tilak again. Although he didn't feel much crisis, he also had a strong desire to make progress. Now that he heard this opportunity, he naturally didn't want to miss it.

"Of course you have your share! This opportunity is not only for everyone present, but also for everyone in the Tower of Time in the future, but you have the opportunity to take the lead in using it."

"President, what kind of opportunity is it?" Tilak asked again.

Xia Duo made a "two" gesture and replied: "There are two ways, one is a relatively complete inheritance ceremony, but the disadvantage is that the content of inheritance cannot target personal weaknesses, there is only a general version, and accepting the inheritance ceremony can let you Obtain all the knowledge reserves to become a high-level mage.

"The first one, I don't know if anyone has guessed it, is the 'learning machine' for apprentices that I have tested before. Although it is not perfect now, it can be continuously improved. This is it The only downside is that, but its biggest advantage is that you will get almost one-on-one learning from me, and you can use it until you think you don't need it.

"I don't want you to give me the answer right now. Go back and think about it first, and then give me an answer after the infrastructure construction of the floating city comes to an end. Everyone has only one chance to choose which one to choose."
