Chapter 468: Hypothetical Future

The maid has discovered one thing - she may have done something wrong!

Now she had put down her pen and sat in her chair with her hands folded, her brow furrowed.

She has recently discovered a serious problem, and that is that the development of the Storm Leader does not seem to be going as smoothly as she expected.

Originally, in her plan, although the Sad Wind Leader has developed rapidly, her creativity should also keep up, otherwise the dukedom, which is about to become a duchi, will fall into a period of slump and development stagnation.

According to her plan, the world of Assatom will be brought into an era of 'magic energy machinery', once the magic power is developed, the role of slaves is relatively small, whether in terms of labor or combat effectiveness, the existence of low-level slaves is just a simple pile-up, and the existence of high-level slaves is not as good as some soldiers equipped with magic equipment.

She was taking the world in a different direction, and since she might have been 'stolen' by the visiting mages of the Kurkut Empire, the maid had already revised her plan and brought this point forward in time.

Originally, according to her assumption, it would be at least ten years before she could build other large magical energy machines other than the magic energy furnace, and if someone had learned anything from the Grim Wind Leader before that, and it was possible to make a 'new' large magic energy machine, then she would have advanced this point in time.

The convenience of the magic energy machine, as long as a slightly more knowledgeable mage can see that the arcanists of the Arcane Empire are concentrating on the development of magical civilization, and have not developed much in this area, otherwise there would be nothing to do with her Serena now.

If according to the original plan, the Grief Wind Leader still has at least ten years to train new intellectuals, after the popularization of basic education, there will be more people who can become mages, not to mention, if you want to make magic machines, you don't necessarily need mages, only skilled workers who know magic knowledge are enough.

For future mages, or skilled workers, knowledge will be more important than spell casting ability, and only by mastering knowledge can they create more powerful magical machines.

Perhaps, the 'Extraordinary' and 'Legendary' have strong individual combat capabilities, but, since they are already so powerful, what about their ability to use magical equipment on this basis?

Magical equipment can narrow the distance between low-end combat power and high-end combat power, but it can also amplify the power of high-end combat power, in addition to the power it masters, there is also the bonus of magical energy equipment, so it is like a 'magic strange thing', maybe not as magical as a strange thing, but, 'magic energy machine' is a machine that uses magic power to drive, and it should be mass-produced in essence.

Moreover, the development of magic energy machinery can also liberate the productive forces, open up more farmland, plant more food crops, and meet the needs of more people.

You can't go wrong anywhere with the phrase 'food is the sky', not only about whether the food is delicious, but also about whether the world can have more people if the material needs can be met, it is no longer 'imaginary'.

The population of the world of Assatom is close to saturation, even if there is no war, there will be a steady stream of people who want to starve to death and die of disease, although the population is only so large, but there is not enough food, the nobles occupy too many resources, so to speak, their wealth is built on the blood and corpses of commoners.

Even the Sorrowful Wind family is the same, but relatively speaking, the old duke has a conscience and is willing to help the people under his rule, but in places where the old duke can't take care of it, this kind of thing still happens.

If the magic machinery can be developed, even if the nobles continue to squander, no matter how insatiable they are, they will be able to meet the basic needs of the commoners, and they will be able to maintain the level of not starving to death.

That's how it should be......

Now it is not known whether the study exchange group of the Kurkut Empire has stolen the [Harmony] Circle, but this is very possible, so the maid has to modify her plan for this, otherwise it will be too hasty to modify the plan after the 'Magic Empire' has eaten this technology, and it may be too late.

The Sorrowful Wind Leader is not weak, at least this territory has hundreds of powerful transcendent knights, when these knights lead the army to appear on the battlefield, even if it is to fight against a strong country, the Sorrowful Wind Leader will not be the slightest timid.

The lack of universal education is also a common problem in this world and this era, and there is nothing to say.

If anything, it could only be that she was too confident, confident enough to show off her 'power' in front of those mages, and let them watch the whole process of the Lost Lock, which led to her current rush - all of this was due to her pride!

She wasn't actually as fearless as she was when she gave vaccinations to the mages of the Sorrowful Wind Leader when she was sending off the study delegation, [Synergy] was a work she was proud of, and other than that, all her ideas were just 'ideas' and 'ideas', and she didn't have the time and energy to bring these things to life.

No one can always be right, not even the gods, the maid tried to make amends, so she revised her plan, but ......

She realized that she shouldn't have changed her plan!

Serena found that she didn't seem to be as frank and fearless as she imagined, and it was precisely because she was a little afraid of the old mages of the Kurkut Empire and the rumored Wizard Empire that she tried to speed up the development of the Grim Wind Leader by modifying the plan.

However, this is not right!

If we continue at the previous pace, then in ten years, a new generation of skilled workers will also be able to educate, and select some creative and capable children from these children who have received basic education now, and give them the opportunity to become mages, even if they can't become mages, they can also become skilled workers who design and maintain magical energy machinery.

During this period, she will gradually increase the upper limit of magic energy machinery, from ordinary magic energy machinery used for agricultural production, to industrial magic energy machinery that can be used to make magic energy machinery, and in this ten years, she will spread the relevant knowledge of [Synergy] and magic circles, ten years is enough time for the Kurkut Empire to embark on the same path as them, but they can also always maintain a position one step ahead.

Ten years later, the new type of intellectuals with the ability to innovate has also grown up, and the Sadness Wind should also become the 'Principality of the Sorrowful Wind' at that time, if she did not revise the plan, but came step by step, in ten years, the Principality of the Sorrowful Wind will no longer be her alone, whether it is a new leadership team, or a new technical talent, it has grown and completed.

Territorial restrictions are not a problem at all, because they can continue to develop the Black Forest, they can't continue to go north, they can go east, west, and that's not a problem at all.

With the expansion of their territory and the development of technology, they will be able to join the competition between the great powers and compete with the two empires for the position of 'number one in the world'.

But it was all ruined by her haste......

She wanted to make the Sorrowful Wind Leader develop faster, so she released some techniques in advance, so that now the mages of [Star Sea Boat] have not yet learned the backward techniques, and many new technologies have appeared in front of them.

This is painful and happy for them, but it is extremely detrimental to the development of the Sad Wind Leader - it will make them lose their ability to innovate and develop independently, and it will make them rely on her!

The mages of the Sad Wind Leader have to grow up, before those children grow up, they have to take on the technical support of the magic energy machine, if they lose the ability to innovate independently, then in ten years, the development of the children will also have problems, after all, the maid does not have so much time to educate those children, and the burden of educating these children will still fall on the shoulders of these mages after all.

She's in too much of a hurry, and if she slows down now, she can save it, but ......

"Sera!

The maid suddenly woke up from her contemplation, she heard the window slamming, she walked over, opened the curtains, and saw the black dragon with a smirk on his face lying outside.

Cervantes was suspended in mid-air, patted the glass window with his palm, and after seeing the figure of the maid appear behind the window, he exclaimed in surprise: "Serra, open the window, I have a good idea to tell you!"
