Between one sect and three courts, there is a faint saying: intellectuals are cheap bones.

Even if you talk about any reserve, what principles, what spiritual core, don't kill anything. But when the helplessness of reality comes like a rolling tide, intellectuals can always find enough reasons to shout loudly.

Today's Qinglian Academy is facing a very similar situation.

When Zhao Shenlu invaded strongly, the Qinglian elders led by Shang Miaoyu immediately shared the same hatred and resisted the corrosive temptation of money with the style of scholars. When she announced that her research direction was cross-species reproduction, the elders were eager to disembowelment on the spot, in order to unite against this evil way—but they gave up because they couldn't find any volunteers for caesarean reproduction.

However, when Zhao Shenlu completely ignored these objections, and moved into Qinglian Academy with the support of Dean Wang Jiu, and began to preside over the work as a special consultant, none of the Qinglian scholars jumped out on the spot to say that they wanted to duel with her, and when Zhao Shenlu broke down the cross-species reproduction research she needed into multiple sub-tasks and assigned them to 5 project teams, the Qinglian scholars were immediately full of complaints, and they began to study in full swing, and even began to work overtime and stay up all night that day.

——

Looking at the daily report on the table, Wang Jiu was still satisfied with the efficiency reflected in it.

Four of the five project study groups achieved a work saturation level of more than 85% – that is, more than 20 hours out of 24 hours a day.

Only the sword team is currently only 56% efficient due to the lack of team leader and team leader agent, and there is a risk of distraction and team strike. But then Wang Jiu will focus on rectifying the sword group. What's more, even in the period of low efficiency, with an efficiency value of 56%, the sword team still completed the task assigned by Zhao Shenlu within the specified time.

On the whole, Blue Lotus College is indeed worthy of the name of one school and three colleges, and has a research level that is far ahead of other similar institutions. However, if you look at the strict standards of the Kyushu era, Qinglian Academy has too many deficiencies at this stage.

And this is also one of the difficulties that Wang Jiu is ready to focus on after taking over the position of dean.

In Wang Jiu's view, the vacancy of the dean of Qinglian Academy was a godsend for him.

Because if you want to transform Xiangzhou and accelerate the recovery of human civilization, there are no more than two paths.

The first is to promote the overall reform of Xiangzhou, with countless large and small reform measures, all the existing systems in Xiangzhou have been improved one by one, and hundreds of millions of living beings have been driven forward together to complete the sublimation of the entire Xiangzhou.

However, the difficulty of this path, even in the eyes of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, is beyond the scope of ability.

Judging from the historical experience of the Kyushu period, it is not the great sages who are well versed in politics and whose wisdom and courage surpass ordinary people who can accomplish this kind of change that benefits the world. And Wang Jiu does not have any special talents in political matters. Similarly, considering Zhao Shenlu's experience in the Kyushu era and the Xiangzhou era, it is obviously difficult for her to take on this big responsibility.

In the entire 2,000-year history of Xiangzhou, only the two founders of the Holy Sect were able to do this. The feat of those two people, in a historical sense, is comparable to the Outer Heaven Divine Sword leading the Nine Immortal Venerables to win the battle of immortals and demons. Without them, human civilization would not know how long it would have sunk in the Dark Ages, and even considering the harsh environment of the Dark Ages, the possibility of human civilization dying would exist.

Wang Jiu also deeply admires the great achievement of bringing human civilization directly from the Dark Ages into the Age of Civilization and creating a political pattern that has been steadily inherited to this day...... If those two can be resurrected, they may be expected to lead Xiangzhou to a further step.

But the dead cannot be resurrected, and the hatred word seen in the ruins of Jin Yunding fully shows that the era of those two has completely ended. So Wang Jiu can only take the second way.

Promote the overall progress of Xiangzhou civilization with technological innovation.

Looking back at the history of Kyushu, most of the major historical changes are closely related to the upgrading of technology.

The establishment of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance originated from the fact that several major immortal cultivation sects took the lead in finding a way to break through to the Heavenly Collapse Realm, and when the other immortal cultivators were still wandering in the Earth Fracture Realm or even the Fallen Sea Realm, the great family suddenly appeared a peerless powerhouse in the Heavenly Collapse Realm. The realm advantages of these top powerhouses could hardly be offset in any way, and the vast world of the Kyushu Continent was nothing more than a palm in the eyes of the immortal cultivators of the Heavenly Collapse Realm. As a result, the influence of the big family instantly radiated to every corner of the Kyushu continent, and the original situation of the division of the heroes quickly dissolved under the oppression of the powerhouses of the Heavenly Collapse Realm, and turned into the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance led by the big family and the Great Gate Sect.

The unification of human civilization has also greatly promoted the overall progress. When the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was first founded, the Sky Collapse Realm was still a secret exclusive to a very few giants. But a hundred years have passed, the immortal cultivators of the Heavenly Collapse Realm have begun to spread all over the continent, and various revolutionary exercises and innovations have emerged one after another, although the giants still maintain their relative advantages, but the overall progress of human civilization is obvious.

In the same way, if the same technological revolution can be promoted and completed in the Xiangzhou Continent, it will naturally bring the same social impact, such as designing a set of general exercises that can guide everyone to successfully break through to the Earth Rift Realm, or creating a Xiangzhou Leyline Great Array that can affect the operation of the entire heaven and earth spiritual wind and increase the wind speed, which can also improve the overall level of human immortal cultivation.

However, these techniques cannot be obtained in a vacuum, and even at the level of Wang Jiu, he cannot complete these techniques on his own - most of his understanding of the Immortal Dao is rooted in the heaven and earth environment of the Kyushu era, and now the laws of the Great Dao have changed, and the theoretical aspect needs to be designed from scratch.

The improvement of this basic theory is an extremely huge project, and Wang Jiu only has unique qualifications in the field of kendo, and other aspects can only rely on basic intelligence for research, and no matter how good his intelligence is, it is not omniscient and omnipotent after all.

It is related to the overall progress of Xiangzhou, which requires the participation of Xiangzhou people themselves, and Qinglian Academy, as the top research institute in Xiangzhou, has high hopes for Wang Jiu. If the transformation of Qinglian Academy can be successfully completed and the efficiency of the academy can be improved to a theoretical value, Wang Jiu is confident that within a hundred years, he will guide the immortal Dao civilization in Xiangzhou to fully enter the era of the Earth Fracture Realm and touch the threshold of the Heavenly Collapse Realm.

And according to the normal course of history, this would require at least 500 years of evolution.

However, the current Qinglian Academy is obviously still difficult to take on this great responsibility, and it is not even in a normal working state. After the unfortunate death of the previous dean, the Qinglian Sword Group, which had the most researchers, was always in a state of semi-shutdown, which greatly dragged down the overall efficiency of the college.

"So next, the first thing to solve is the problem of the sword group."

——

Of the five research groups of Qinglian Academy, the sword group has the most historical shortcomings.

Qinglian Academy, which was established in a special historical period, has a contradiction between books and swords from the beginning, and its founder, Qinglian Zhenren, is a swordsman who attaches equal importance to theory and practice, not only has one of the few forces in the world, but also almost single-handedly established the enlightenment theory that broke the dark age.

Even in the glorious era when the heroes rose together, Qinglian Zhenren was also the most dazzling star. Many people evaluated him as a great immortal cultivator second only to the two founders of the Holy Sect.

However, although Qinglian Zhenren can cultivate both civil and military, it does not mean that future generations can also achieve the same feat, for most people, actual combat and theory are two difficult problems, and in the long historical process of two thousand years, an organization will inevitably gradually favor one side of the other.

The academy is biased towards the theoretical side, so the sword group, which represents practice, is always in an awkward position. In terms of actual combat ability, Qinglian Academy has always had to face the opponent of the Wuxiang Sword Academy, and for two thousand years

Qinglian College has the upper hand for less than a tenth of the time. In terms of research ability, although the Sword Group has always been ranked first among the research groups of the Academy, in fact, it occupies several times the resources of other research groups, but the result is only barely in the first place, and the cost performance is not cost-effective at all.

Therefore, as early as hundreds of years ago, some people proposed a complete transformation of the academy, but it was always blocked by insiders. When it came to Sang Yue and Sang Jing's generation, they forcibly promoted the status of the sword group with an arrogant attitude, but the result backfired. Before they were unfortunately killed, the Qinglian Sword Group had clearly shown a decline, enjoying more than 40% of the budget of the entire academy, but only making less than 15% of the contribution, and the contribution was even lower than the average!

This is an inefficiency that cannot be described in any way, but it is also the result of the best efforts of the two deans. It is also for this reason that the Sang Yue sisters are willing to take risks and go to the flood ruins to find a way to break through.

——

"So I said a long time ago, Qinglian Academy should completely give up kendo research, kendo is really incompatible with our Qinglian Academy! It took so much effort, but it turned out that nothing could be calculated! ”

In the research room of the Sword Group, an old man with a gray beard couldn't help but complain while scratching his thinning hair.

Beside him, a young monk said, "But didn't the previous work barely bear fruit?" ”

"You know it's just a reluctant result! It was my luck that I tried the correct algorithm before the line died, and it was completely incomparable to the smooth work efficiency of the other groups...... Alas, I knew that even if Dean Sang wore small shoes, he should have forcibly quit the sword group, and the study of kendo was too boring! ”

The old man grumbled, and at the same time simply tore up the manuscript paper that had been piled up for a long time but was always blank.

However, the fragments of the manuscript paper suddenly solidified in mid-air.

In the next moment, all the fragments that had been scattered were returned to one place, turning into white paper.

This phenomenon, which is almost a reversal of time, has attracted everyone's attention.

Then, Wang Jiu's voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Kendo research is boring because you don't realize what kendo is."
