Chapter 136: Division of Labor(1/2)
As a simple scholar, Engineer Davlion obviously did not realize the meaning behind this.
In the Dongdu Magic Steam Academy, in order to be in line with the international community, "magic" takes precedence over "steam", and the resources and management of the academy are tilted towards the "magic" faction.
In the Winter Capital outside the academy, and even in the entire Yate County League, the "Steam" faction can be said to firmly suppress the "Magic" faction in terms of political and social influence.
This has caused Dongdu Magic Steam Academy to become an embarrassing and unique existence, becoming an alternative within the Art County Alliance. Magicians who want to do research or expand their influence can only rely on Dongdu Magic
Steam Academy. The more "magic" is occupied, the less "steam" is occupied. Over time, the "steam" faction in the academy will naturally rebound.
The "steam" faction's request to change the name of the college is a manifestation of the contradiction, which is also supported by a part of the Steam Engineers Association. However, Editor Molson, a person with authority on both sides, is still alive, so both sides are still very restrained.
But after editor-in-chief Molson passed away, this contradiction was inevitable to break out.
In the normal course of the era, breakthroughs in magic energy technology allowed Dongdu Magic Steam Academy to make a turnaround with the "Titan Project". The "Magic" faction has become more and more influential within the Yate County League, and the internal
Contradictions and balances have caused the Yate County Alliance policy to gradually weaken its external aggressiveness.
Luke judged that the "Titan Project" was definitely not a new weapon research and development plan that was proposed temporarily after the Art County Alliance saw signs of civil strife in the Golden Shield Empire. Moreover, the alchemy neurons and pilots were taken out so quickly from the Winter Capital Magic Steam Academy.
The staff perfectly matches the technology, and it can be seen that Dongdu Magic Steam Academy has started to reserve relevant technologies very early.
However, due to the limitations of magic energy technology, the real "Titan Project" could not be realized, and as a result, it was given to the Steam Engineers Association by the Congress of the Art County Federation.
It’s a simple result, but I don’t know what kind of complicated struggle is involved.
After listening to Engineer Davlion's story, Qingkong couldn't help but agree and said: "Yes... Scholars are often much more stubborn than politicians, and within Oulu College we also have to face competition from various departments. Fortunately, Willie
Dean De simplified the name of the college early, so there is no need to worry about adding names and the order of names."
Engineer Davlion said with emotion: "Dean Wilred is a far-sighted and wise man, otherwise Oulu College would not have been rebuilt from the ruins. He is also admirable in selecting successors. You are so outstanding in academics."
His broad-mindedness and tolerance will definitely coordinate the internal relations of Oulu College.
And the current dean of Dongdu Magic Steam Academy..."
Qingkong stopped Engineer Davlion from continuing: "The situations of our two colleges are different. Dean Richard must have his difficulties."
Engineer Davlion realized that it was definitely not appropriate to complain about Dean Richard in the Dongdu Magic Steam Academy.
"I made a mistake...Thank you for meeting me."
"Good luck with your work!"
Davlion left with satisfaction, while Qingkong was thinking about how to obtain the key magical technology of the "Titan Project" through the Dongdu Magic Academy.
It happened that Vice President Antoine came to Qingkong at this time.
He held a list: "Professor Qingkong, these are the lists of people our Dongdu Steam Magic Steam Academy is preparing to send to the Moonlight King's Court, as well as the outstanding students we recommend to you.
If you have no objection, I will let them prepare to go to the Moonlight Palace."
"Thank you..." Qingkong took the list.
The sunlight outside the window just fell on her body, and Antoine couldn't help but admire the sense of holiness and magnificence: "Professor Qingkong, every time I see you, I can't help but think of those words that describe beauty. You are magical in the winter capital."
During these days at the Steam Academy, every day is a day worth looking forward to for me."
This is almost a different kind of confession.
But Qingkong is not interested in men: "I hear the same thing almost every once in a while. I hope you just appreciate it, otherwise it will only make you disappointed.
There is no problem with the people who go to the Moonlight Court. Looking at their resumes, they are all respected scholars and students with excellent academic performance. But... why are most of the professors who go to the Moonlight Court to conduct research on the World Tree come from the magic department?
The royal court supports education, but there are many students from the steam department?"
Antoine, who was warned, withdrew his gaze and immediately explained: "This is because the study of the World Tree involves more magic, alchemy, and supernatural subjects, and the professors of the Department of Magic are more qualified for the research work in the Moonlight Court.
The students sent to the Department of Steam...are because their magical knowledge is sufficient for primary education, and the knowledge of steam and machinery they master will help popularize primary manufacturing in the grasslands of the ancestors."
Studying the world tree is a brand new field that has never been seen in the academic world before. It is easy to produce results and become famous easily. It is a combination of fame and fortune. Naturally, I want to join in.
To support the education of the Moonlight Palace is to go to the various poor barbarian tribes in the Grassland of the First People to suffer hardships, which is of course something that cannot be avoided.
It's just that Qingkong didn't expect that Dongdu Magic Steam Academy's favoritism was so obvious, and it was simply suppressing the Steam Department without any concealment.
"You guys are really thoughtful." Qingkong didn't intend to reveal the list. She handed the list to Jennifer by her side, and then said to Antoine: "Since you have determined the people who will go to the Moonlight Court, I should also
Preparing for the end of this trip."
Antoine asked with some reluctance: "Are you leaving so soon? The students all like your occult class very much. Your rich knowledge in occult has benefited all of us a lot.
I sincerely invite you to stay for a while longer... The personnel to go to the Moonlight Palace have been confirmed, but a lot of equipment and supplies still need to be raised."
Qingkong said helplessly: "I also want to stay for a while. The uniqueness of Dongdu Magic Steam Academy in the field of magic alchemy is worth spending more time studying.
For example, there are many things I don’t understand about the paper on the five-hertz single-line source of alchemical neurons. There are also macro changes in the spiritual magnetic field in the magic field... It would be better if I could ask the author directly for advice."
"Leave this matter to me!" In order to let Qingkong stay for a while, Antoine promised to arrange it immediately.
Although the two professors who wrote these two papers did not belong to the Department of Occult Studies, it was easy for Antoine, as the deputy dean, to arrange for the two of them to answer Qingkong's questions.
Qingkong saw the structural drawings of the Titan-1 prototype through Luke, as well as some design drawings. It can be judged that the alchemy neurons and the driver's perfect mental matching technology should be based on these two papers as the underlying logic.
The authors of these two papers must be important participants in the Titan-1 prototype magic guide assembly.
Therefore, Qingkong decided to start with these two magic professors to see if they could find any clues about the magic design drawings of the "Titan Project".
Qingkong is in charge of the magic part, and Luke is in charge of the steam machinery part.
In the days that followed, Luke increased his workload. In addition to inspecting underground steam lines and laying out secret rituals, he also devoted a lot of time to the construction of the Titan-1 prototype.
In order to save time, he even moved directly into the laboratory. His work attitude made Hulkkin, a self-proclaimed workaholic, feel that he was usually too fishy.
Finally one day, Hulkkin said to Luke, who was directing the workers to install the steam engine: "Sir, there is a charity fund-raising party tonight at the Grand Amba Hotel, calling on the rich to donate money to the refugees and orphans caused by the war.
Mr. Elvis and Miss Angelia will be there."
Dalikova, wearing a Titan pilot suit, said: "Today's work schedule is to test the horizontal stability of Titan One at night!"
Hulkkin said: "This party is very important to Mr. Luke! The test can be left to other engineers."
Luke focused on the form in his hand, listening to the workers' reports and ticking the boxes one by one.
At the same time, he said: "Yes, this is a very important party, and I also plan to do something within my ability for the refugees who have lost their homes due to the war and the orphans who have lost their relatives."
The last paper published in "Steam Weekly" received a lot of royalties, and I am going to donate them all."
Hulkkin praised: "Mr. Luke is really a kind-hearted philanthropist."
Luke felt that Hulkkin could achieve the position of the ice cave chief. He didn't know what his professional skills were, but he was definitely gifted in adapting to the situation and flattering him.
He asked Hulkkin: "Have you finished the homework assigned to you yesterday?"
Hulkkin showed the attitude of an apprentice: "When I have finished writing, I will put it on your desk. Please have time to check the instructions."
"Well..." Luke nodded slightly and said, "Since I have something to do tonight, I won't give you any homework today. You go back and prepare. We'll see you in the evening."
"Yes, Mr. Luke, see you tonight."
Hulkkin left in a hurry.
This party is not only important to Luke, but also very important to him. Not only must manpower be arranged to protect the important people attending the party, but also the meeting between Mr. Luke and Miss Angelia must be ensured without causing any trouble.
There is nothing good to say about Mr. Luke. His character, knowledge, and self-cultivation are all impeccable, but Miss Angelia...
I hope she won't do anything outrageous in front of Mr. Luke. She is only the best solution for Mr. Luke, but she is by no means the only solution.
In the winter capital, there are many ladies from big families who are waiting for marriage.
Hulkkin left and Luke returned to work.
What is installed today is a two-phase steam engine that uses alchemical technology to materialize water molecules.
The entire steam engine, which weighs one ton, is made of alchemical materials, and alchemy is used to give the materials corresponding physical and magical properties. This is equivalent to using complex magical creation techniques to turn the spell model into an entity.
It took a whole afternoon to install the new steam engine in place. Then Luke called up the design drawings of the Titan 1 prototype and compared the parameters in detail under the supervision of supervisors.
It was getting dark outside, and all the lights in the laboratory workshop were turned on.
Dalikova, who had been waiting here, seemed to have forgotten the time when she saw Luke. Although she was reluctant, she still reminded her in a low voice: "Mr. Luke, you have a charity party to attend tonight."
Luke kept his eyes on the design drawing so that he could record it in the clear sky backstage. Hearing Darikova's reminder, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Don't worry...the first half of the party was all boring and self-motivated sensationalism.
Don’t want to think about who caused the war?
They took a very small part of the war wealth and gave it to the victims of the war, and they called it charity... How ironic!"
When Dalikova heard that Luke said such words, she immediately looked worriedly at the soldiers standing around her, and whispered in a low voice: "Sir, these words will get you into trouble."
"I am just stating the fact that if I participate in the politics of the Yate County Alliance, I will definitely do my best to bring the war to an end as soon as possible."
"Sir!" Dalikova was a little anxious.
The soldiers around are either protecting Titan 1 or the drawings of Titan 1. They are all very loyal to Congress. The people working here are all employees of Harut Heavy Industries, and there must be eyes and ears arranged by Elvis.
What Luke just said will definitely reach the ears of the oligarchs who control the country.
"Okay, no more talking. Just watch the time. We'll leave in one hour."
Within half an hour, Luke's complaints reached Elvis.
Elvis, the owner of Harut Heavy Industries, is a very oppressive middle-aged man. He is sitting in a luxurious lounge of the Grand Amba Hotel, smoking a cigar and listening to the reports of his subordinates.
There was a charity gala going on outside, and the host was telling a tear-jerking story.
