"Is this magazine 'useful'?"

Cervantes held a copy of "The Mechanic" in his hand and flipped through it a few times, only to find that the article was extremely boring, and he frowned.

With his feet on the coffee table, the black dragon couldn't help but yawn after reading the magazine from beginning to end.

The words in it didn't appeal to him in the slightest, and his memories were the same as Serena's, which meant that he also knew a little about 'mechanics'.

With neither an option for 'entertainment' nor enough thrilling knowledge, this kind of magazine is destined to be unpopular.

As far as he knew, the Ogordon Empire had built a railroad in its territory, and more than a dozen steam locomotives were running around the land day and night.

However, this magazine did not include anything related to 'steam locomotives', even if it was a secret to the Ogordon Empire, but as long as it was not detailed, who knew how to build a steam locomotive?

In general, they are not bold enough, their imagination is not enough, and there are problems in the choice of themes, if they can do better, then they can also play a certain role in promoting the development of magic energy machinery.

It's a pity that they don't do it well enough, there are too many things to hide!

To put it simply, it is self-restraint, and it can be done better, but it can only hold back, and it cannot write a more perfect article heartily.

I don't know who asked for this, it would be so stupid.

"It may not be useful to others, but for us, they have taken the path of 'steam technology' in the direction of mechanical development, and without my influence, maybe the future of Assasatom will become a steampunk world. ”

Hearing the maid's voice, Cervantes turned his head to see that she did not raise her head, but lowered her head, writing something.

It had been a long time since he had seen her so busy, but she had to be busy for the possible 'invasion of hell'.

The maid paused for a moment, and then continued: "This also means that their mechanical structure is much more sophisticated than what we are using now, and our magic energy machinery is more directly using magic to forcibly promote the operation of the machine, which looks exquisite, but in fact the principle is very rough, and another person can make the same result." But this is also a matter of no way, to let some mages who have not been exposed to much precision machinery since childhood become proficient in mechanics in a short period of time, research and development of precision machinery, it is simply wishful thinking, which is also one of the reasons why household machines have not appeared for a long time, I don't have so much time to urge them to carry out research and development. So this magazine is not very useful to other people, but to us, it is much more useful, and there are many good things that can be borrowed from it. ”

What the maid said, Cervantes knew very well.

Now the magic energy machinery invented by their principality can be used, but in fact, the principle is too simple, mainly driven by magic, which leads to the output of power is much lower than they imagined.

While adding some precision mechanics will result in an increase in energy consumption, it can also increase the power output – it is worth increasing some energy consumption to get a higher percentage of work done.

"Our magic energy machinery has not been sold, and even if it is not sold to the outside world, as long as the principle is understood, it is not difficult to copy a magic energy machine with similar functions, but it is quite time-consuming. ”

With that, the maid finally raised her head, allowing the black dragon to see her resolute eyes.

"If the people of the Ogordon Empire give up their long-standing concept and no longer reject 'magic', then they will be able to make leaps and bounds with the idea of 'magic energy machinery', and maybe they will be able to have a vehicle that can break through the atmosphere in a short period of time - with the concept of 'gliding' that we published in the "Star Ocean Monthly" before, with their current technology, maybe they can build gliders without magic, and if they use magic, maybe they can even make ' Bombers' this terrible war machine. ”

The Ogordon Empire has extremely strong war potential, but they have always tied their hands, and if they can discard their previous beliefs, then they can burst into extremely powerful power.

"Although in my philosophy, the Principality of Sorrow does not have to become the world hegemon, but it must not lag behind the Ogordon Empire too much, otherwise after we leave, the Principality may be bullied. Serena shook her head and sighed, "Before leaving, we have to leave enough property for the principality. ”

Cervantes raised his eyebrows and tilted his head in thought, "So?"

The corners of the maid's lips were slightly hooked, and she said softly: "If you ask for it directly, they will definitely not give it to me, but I can give them a suggestion!"

............

"What do you think?"

Looking up from the letter, Calvin looked seriously at Gregory.

Gregory leaned back and shook his head slightly, "I don't know what the head maid thinks, but she doesn't have any conflict with us, so she won't use this to frame us." ”

According to the letter, if they wanted the magazine to be good enough, they had only one option, and that was to make the article more 'professional'.

Because they are all researchers, if they want to write something entertaining, without flowery rhetoric, the aristocracy will not pay at all, and some simple machinery will not arouse people's interest at all, and only the 'unknown' can make them curious.

The letter uses the example of 'steam locomotives' and asks them to briefly introduce steam locomotives in the first half of the article, and then focus on 'professionalism' in the second half of the article, so that people can get interested in what it is.

That's what they want!

The reason why they want to release "The Mechanic" is not only to increase the influence of the Ogordon Empire, but also to get more people interested in 'mechanics'.

The 'military academy' to be established will not only be for the purpose of educating 'war officers' and 'spell casters', but will also take into account the functions of 'military education' and 'training of professional talents'.

In their plan, officers need to enter this military academy for professional military knowledge training, and they can also absorb civilians and train enough mechanics related personnel to fill the talent gap that the empire is facing today.

With the gradual spread of the railway network and the spread of the steam engine to all parts of the empire, many scholars who had only a little knowledge of mechanics were recruited by the nobles and wealthy merchants who had mastered the steam engine, and it was difficult for them to get more people with the ability to maintain steam locomotives, and it was urgent to train new talents.

The Empire's 'Military Academy' is like the Principality of the Sorrowful Wind and the Mage Academy of the Kurkut Empire, which will absorb talents from the people and give people a path to rise, but people prefer to become professionals or soldiers, even if they increase the recruitment of personnel related to 'mechanics', it is foreseeable that there will definitely be a bleak scene.

Mechanics is not something that everyone can learn, they must have enough computing power, and civilians who can't do arithmetic are useless even if they are recruited, because this type of civilians often have no money to pay for tuition - after all, they are not charitable, and it is impossible to exempt them from tuition.

Although the purpose of military schools is to cultivate talents, they also need a certain amount of income to maintain.

“...... Let's try to do it!" Eventually, Calvin sighed helplessly, they had no choice but that.

After all, magazines are just magazines, just like "Magic" and "Xinghai Monthly", these two magazines have revealed many secrets, but just with these two magazines, can mages still be able to advance?

The things in the magazine can only open up knowledge, and it is impossible for people in other countries to be able to restore the 'mechanics' they are proud of with a single magazine, right?
