Mage? Spell Engineer!

Rorschach, who did not have much time left in the Byrne Kingdom, took Hasay on his next trip the next day.

"I'm still sorting out the acquisition information! Why are you going to college and dragging me along?" Hasay saw the enthusiasm of young people and experienced the days before becoming a senior partner - following the boss like a secretary. , the other party said that he would have to work for several days.

Now Rorschach is definitely going to have to recuperate.

What's the matter with you, the guy who leads the company's collective leadership? You're not as motivated as Pierre Neussingen! Rorschach discovered that after his "number one fan" returned, his replacement, Mr. Hasay, did not work so neatly. But Rorschach didn't care, and explained his purpose of going to university:

"Didn't I talk to Prince Otto all morning before the wedding? I got various licenses from him."

"So that's it." When Hasse first stood closely with the Baldorom Chamber of Commerce, he had wondered why Pierre and Rorschach were able to bypass the Chamber of Commerce's connections and obtain a stack of priceless royal charters. It turned out that Luo Xia went directly to the prince via the route of his own young master.

Master Bart, you have made your Chamber of Commerce lose a lot of initiative, you know. Hasai found himself separated from the world of young people, and it was difficult to determine whether his master and the mage in front of him were reliable or unreliable.

"Of course, the benefits of the royal family are not for nothing! At least now we have something to start with. Prince Otto hopes that the 'Fonda' company can cooperate with the Munich royal family's Bain Institute of Technology."

Although it is a college, it is considered one of the top schools in the kingdom. Luo Xach calls it simply "Mutong University". It was originally the royal family's hope to dismantle the guilds, and its sponsorship was also to promote the development of Byrne's industry and commerce. At first, the old academics boasted about the old king, as if building a first-class university and first-class disciplines in the empire would increase tax revenue. However, when the previous generation of monarchs said goodbye to their people, there was no obvious return on the money invested.

Otto found that this investment seemed to have failed. Every year, the principal led the heads of departments to the palace to cry out for poverty. He said that education was a century-old plan and should not just look at the present. The prince wanted to kick the respected old liar away. He had deceived his grandfather about the benefits in the first place. I haven't seen any of them. The various guilds are still living well, and the tax revenue is not increasing at the rate that the professors are demanding salary increases.

And it’s not just the apprentices of the Tower of Secrets who have the problem of delayed graduation. The college students of this era still have the legacy of the old empire. They like to take a year off from school to think about life and see the great rivers and mountains of the empire. It is known as a gap year. ; There are also people who go to other schools to become exchange students with letters of recommendation halfway through reading. This inherits the "study abroad" trend in the apprenticeship system of handicraft guilds. Some have to transfer to several universities across the country to complete their studies. Professional study.

Therefore, college students in the old era can be roughly divided into three types: those who cannot graduate, those who inherit the family business after graduation, and those who are unemployed after graduation but have no problem supporting their families. After all, who can afford to go to college for six or eight years without having to support his family when he is a young adult? Who can have poor family conditions?

The one who was injured was the royal family. Prince Otto wanted to shout: Although you don’t go to school for free, the royal family also subsidizes and sponsors it, and the food and clothing all cost us money! my money!

Of course, Rorschach's solution is to "combine industry, academia and research". In fact, Otto also knows that there is such a way. The problem is that the royal family's properties are fields, pastures, etc., and they cannot let people who have studied grammar, natural history, mathematics, philosophy, etc. Waiting for the college students with "sages and sages" to plow fields and herd sheep? Rorschach didn't care that Otto still felt distressed, and the official positions in the Byrne Kingdom were not many except for the "sponsorship" of noble children and big businessmen. At least now, there was no condition for "opening the imperial examination".

Rorschach's final task in Munik was roughly to rely on "Fonda" to establish a talent training mechanism in the new era that conforms to the new development concept, including but not limited to making money and recruiting people.

"Those college students are we going to recruit? Ah, they are all young people who can only recite poetry, drink wine, and coax girls." Hasay's own cultural level is not high, that is, the level of continuous accumulation in the profession and the ability to write calculations. The impression is still stuck in the stage a few decades ago when universities produced liberal arts students who talked about classics and art. When companies want to hire, they can only hire accountants and those who can handle legal-related matters.

Rorschach has always been dissatisfied that the Tower of Secrets looked down upon the mages and apprentices trained by alchemy. Now there are a few losers in the research department who are still in the training stage. It can only be said that their IQs are indeed high, but their expertise is not relevant.

He explained to Hasai: "If you look at the employment cost of college students alone, it is indeed very expensive, but everything is relative. Compared with the apprentices of the Tower of Secrets, is the price/performance ratio better?" Rorschach had to explain that he wanted to design The rules of the game are: "This is a college of engineering. There must be subjects related to our business. Donate to the department first, establish a long-term cooperation, learn the content we need, and then let the school arrange students to come to Fonda." Internship. Of course, the salary during the internship can be considered as appropriate."

The more Hasai listened, the clearer he became, and his eyes became clearer: "I understand, Mr. Luoschach, this will train the talents we need, and after study and internship, they can become skilled workers, which shortens our training time. And it can also inspect outstanding people during the internship period, so that we can select them when recruiting." Hasai did not expect that delicate young ladies and young men could work for free like apprentices.

"Yes, you have understood my spirit." This is much superior to the master-apprentice system. There is no personal dependence relationship. Such dark things do not exist. All the talents second only to the mages in this era are all willing to learn. Laboring!

Two scoundrels asked to enter the university in the name of the prince. The campus does have a utopian atmosphere. Although it is just an "engineering college", the atmosphere is no worse than that of a university where people are good at writing and writing. The spacious and beautiful courtyard is filled with young and energetic students. They can be seen talking loudly with smiles under the shade of trees and on the lawn. The teaching buildings here are all based on the standard of palace buildings. The elegant design gives them bright classrooms, fully functional libraries, and research rooms.

Rorschach looked around and saw that although the time, space and people had changed, the familiar feeling remained the same. Compared to the Magic Academy, the gloomy Mystical Tower that is convenient for bungee jumping, the fantasy-style Starry Tower, and the primitive Ecole de Valois. Being here, Rorschach could not wait to run back to his dormitory and open his game book.

The two of them are not out of place when they walk inside. One blends in perfectly with the students, and the other will be regarded as a teacher. After inquiries, they found the principal and the department heads of the Department of Architecture and Engineering.

What's interesting is that Rorschach happened to meet the professor and students dismantling the dwarf's power machine, just like his old buddies in the Alchemy Department at the time. The head of the department was a little excited when he learned that Rorschach was the author of "Investigating Thermodynamic Conversion and the Efficiency Limits of Heat Engines" and wanted to discuss related issues with him.

It turns out that the spread of this paper has exceeded the magic guild? Rorschach didn't expect that.

The principal was a very smart old man. He did not bother to wear a wig to cover up, and shook hands with Rorschach and Hasse enthusiastically: "Since it is the request of His Highness Otto (and for the sake of money), we welcome cooperation."

It's been hard to get into the mood lately. Could it be that I contracted the legendary disease - Kavin? I feel like my writing speed has slowed down after the wedding. I am not very satisfied with my writing in the past few days.

It is necessary to sort out the next big plot and adjust the rhythm. Feedback from book friends who are following the update is welcome. I will update these two chapters first, and I will continue coding the third update, maybe in the early morning. Book friends who follow the update may see the fourth update + acknowledgments tomorrow, sorry.
