Chapter 852 Considerations
β...... It's not easy!" Calvin sighed, "I didn't expect Your Majesty to really agree to my ridiculous suggestion!"
Gregory silently withdrew from the magical horizon and said indifferently: "The main obstacle comes from the small and medium-sized nobles, who often have a higher perspective, unlike those who learn 'elegance' and end up with a tiger's head. β
He frowned slightly and sighed, "In such a world, it would be wishful thinking to have a high quality of life without magic. β
Of course, they knew that the nobles of the Ogordon Empire had an unnatural aversion to magic in general, and that it was difficult to eradicate, but so what?
If the empire wants to retain its position as 'number one' in the future, it needs to embrace magic itself before all the countries on the continent embrace it.
Mechanics was now in its infancy, and although Gregory was already the third head of the manufacturing department, the first minister had been developing human machinery, and the second minister had died before he could get the steam engine into the factory, and by the time he was already the third.
Thirty or forty years have passed since the creation of the Imperial Manufacturing, when the previous emperor was still alive, and the current majesty was only a short time old, but mechanics is still in its infancy, and it is far from being comparable to the magic that has been developed for hundreds or thousands of years.
If the magic technology of the Mendez continent has been stagnant, then maybe in a few decades, they will no longer need to embrace magic.
But no one could have imagined that there was a territory on that continent that rose, first became independent, and then led the trend of technology and commerce, and the head maid with knowledge of the other world injected a lot of fresh blood into this world.
While they are affirming and rejoicing at those new ideologies and ideas, they are also distressed by the sudden emergence of 'magic machines'.
I thought about whether I wanted to learn magic so that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the times.
To be honest, both Calvin and Gregory were very unwilling, if it weren't for the sudden rise of magic energy machinery, maybe they wouldn't need to be in such a hurry, they could slowly study mechanics.
Before that, they had never tried to mix magic in the machine, everything was purely mechanical, but the appearance of the magic machine made them feel that time was pressing, and as a last resort, the steam locomotive came into being.
"That's why you need to take care of their emotions......" Calvin pursed his lips and couldn't help but sneer.
He tried to propose to the royal family and the great nobles to 'establish a mage academy', and after their deliberation, he also agreed, but at the same time, he also established a 'military academy' to train warriors.
It seems that the Mage Academy is more of an adjunct to a military academy, but the proposal to establish a Mage College has been affirmed as a result.
This also takes into account the emotions of the small and medium-sized nobles, and when magic slowly fills people's lives, there is no need for such trouble.
Gregory lowered his head, stroked his right arm, which had just been maintained, and suddenly asked, "Didn't your former boss get a reply from the chief maid after getting His Majesty's approval a few days ago?"
Speaking of this, Calvin, who was still a little excited, suddenly lowered his head and said dejectedly: "It's not good...... We've just been about to use electromagnetic waves for communications, but the legendary mages are ready to start debating whether to use 'electromagnetic waves' or 'magic waves' to form an 'internet'. β
"'Internet'?" said Grigory, chewing on the new word.
After feeling Gregory's puzzled gaze, Calvin sighed again and explained weakly: "It is a 'network' similar to the faith networks of the major churches that are formed by electromagnetic waves or magic waves, but the 'network' that can include those faith networks, and can be used even by the unbelievers, and can be used by the general publicβthe chief maid called it the 'Internet'." β
Grigory tried to imagine it, and then he felt a tingling in his scalp.
He knows what the faith network is, allowing people to know information from thousands of miles away, and for the Church of Wealth, it is not just used to 'communicate', but also to 'store wealth', 'transmit goods', etc.
But no matter which church it is, just having a 'messaging' function is completely sufficient.
Haven't they been struggling with how to build their own communication system, and if they can have their own network, they don't have to worry so much.
They had just prepared to put the 'current information transmitter', or 'telecommunication machine' for short, into production after some testing, but the head maid had already done it!
Magic is magic, and mechanics, which has only been developed for decades, are completely incapable of competing with it.
Grigory sighed, but was also a little glad that Calvin's suggestion had been approved, otherwise their empire might have fallen behind in a new era.
After thinking for a moment, Grigory asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, did they decide to come down after learning the news?"
Calvin nodded his head lowly, "I think so, although the big nobles and Your Majesty don't care what they use at all, but considering the emotions of the small and medium-sized nobles, they shouldn't use magic on the bright side...... But now we can't wait, and the Empire must catch up with this carriage as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know how long it will take to catch up with this carriage of the times if we catch up on our own. β
The establishment of the Mage Academy is a foregone conclusion, and the creation of Magic magazine is a foregone conclusion, and magic will inevitably be integrated into people's daily lives in the future.
This is an era, and for the first time, Gregory has never felt so powerless!
"No matter what, we're going to keep working on telecommunications. After pondering for a long time, Grigory made a decision.
Calvin looked up in surprise, but heard Gregory say so seriously: "We can't let our communications become a shortcoming of the empire, and what other countries have initiated is always in their hands, so we are also constrained. Maybe the head maid is perfect enough and above board enough not to coerce our empire in this way, but what if it is used by other people with ulterior motives?"
"In this regard, we also need to have our own technology, and if we go with the flow, we will lose our way. The interests of other countries cannot always be the same as those of empires, and we must guard against such things!"
Gregory's political sense was much more sensitive than Calvin's, and he came from a traditional knightly family, which was one of the things he had to learn.
As soon as he said that...... Seems to be the same thing!" Calvin agreed.
"As long as we do that, then we have one more communication system than other countries and organizations, and even if we are constrained in the 'network', we still have a way out. "Therefore, the development of telecommunications is imperative, even urgent, to be rolled out to the entire empire before the Internet is available." β
Gregory's consideration was reasonable, and Calvin seemed to understand it, so he just nodded.
"I see!" Calvin became emotional, "and then I ordered to focus on the development of the 'teleporter' and try to get it out as soon as possible...... Oh, of course, after the unification of imperial power!"
Otherwise, not only the railroad of the steam locomotive, but also the telegraph that required a lot of effort to build could be smashed by the angry nobles.
This thing is precious, and it must not be destroyed by those small and medium-sized nobles!
And the time for the unification of the regime is not far off...... (https:)
