Chapter 919
“First of all, let me explain the nature of our school. Our School is an advanced school that focuses on practical engineering and Arcana, supported by science. Of course, we also open up a branch of the sacrificial school, but it doesn’t involve martial arts. I’m sure your higher-ups have other arrangements for martial arts instructors, but our school only accepts spirit students and ELF students of the sacrificial school.”
The headmaster’s introduction lifted the spirits of the Germans. Angor’s separation of civil and military forces had caused quite a stir in the city. Some rational people thought that Angor was trying to preserve the competitiveness of the Germans, to reduce the racial conflicts caused by racial competition, some people thought that Angor’s policy was killing the future of the Germans in another direction.
There were both positive and negative comments, but for the Ottomans who had already settled in the city, they were most concerned about their status and treatment as technology personnel.
The warrior class had an enviable upper limit. Every man loved to venture out, explore new worlds, and conquer the unknown. Such a loss really made many Ottomans regret it, therefore, they would rather have better resources and social status if they had to give up such a romantic idea.
However, Angor never promised this. Although she always emphasized that the Mayin race had a bright future ahead of them, her slogan still made many people uncertain.
However, this new news cheered them up a lot. The establishment of Galaxy’s first Advanced Academy was really about science and technology. This clearly showed how much the higher-ups in galaxy valued the students of science and technology, at the very least, the priority seemed to be more in their favor.
Seeing that these students were listening to his speech very seriously, the principal felt much more relaxed. He thought to himself, it seems to be going better than I imagined.
So he continued, “First is science. The scope of science courses offered by our college is not large, but they are all designed for the foundation of Engineering and Alchemy in our college. They include the federal advanced mathematics and Applied Mathematics, the Federal Information and Computing Science, the federal origin physics, the applied physics of the universe, the federal origin chemistry, the Applied Chemistry of the universe, the biological science of the universe, the biological technology of the universe, the astrology of the universe, the basic geology of the universe, the astrology of the universe, the resources and environment of the universe, the management of the universe, the science of the universe, the technology of the universe, the theory and applied mechanics of the universe, optics, the basic energy science, the physics of the basic materials, the chemistry of the basic materials, the ecology of the universe, statistics, and so on... . . .”
“Science is an auxiliary subject in our school. It is set up to deal with the engineering or alchemy that you choose. For example, if you want to learn the space spells of our School of modifications, you have to first learn the Federation’s origin physics, the applied physics of the universe, the basic energetics, and advanced mathematics. The reason is that you have to understand the basic exercises of space and physics, as well as the basic exercises of space and energy changes. Then, when casting spells, you have to be proficient in advanced mathematics by precisely calculating the structure of the alchemy array. These are the foundations of being an alchemist. In contrast, if you want to be a mechanical alchemist or a biological alchemist, you will be equipped with the corresponding science. The instructors will judge whether you are suitable to be an alchemist based on your ability to learn the science.”
“Do Alchemists Mean Mages?”Someone asked a crucial question.
The principal smiled. Many people used to ask this question when they went to aboriginal planets.
“When they can’t understand the principle behind it, these things are indeed magic to many people...”
“Then... can we all become such mages?”Someone asked nervously.
“You’re quite talented. There’s a good chance...”the principal smiled.
Angor frowned. He noticed that the principal was getting more and more eager to lead the students toward alchemy. This made her a little cautious. The direction of the first city’s civilization had not been decided yet.., alchemists were definitely more attractive than traditional mechanics. It would be bad if a large number of maarins were taught some random stuff by the principal.
However, she could not object right away because she did not understand many things herself. Thus, she decided to ask a question that she was concerned about.
“I have a question that I don’t understand. I hope you can help me answer it.”
“Please...”the principal answered gently.
“There are two main civilizations in our first city. One is a pure mechanical civilization, and the other is an alchemy mechanical civilization. What’s the difference between the two?”Angor asked
“Well...”the principal smiled. “If there’s a big difference, there’s a big one. But in general, there’s not much difference...”
“Huh?”
The principal said, “Alchemy is a kind of science, but compared to traditional science, alchemy relies more on a person’s spiritual power. Take mechanical alchemy for example. A mechanical alchemist relies more on alchemy arrays to make mechanical products in the early stages. Complex alchemy arrays replace traditional systems with various formulas that change the energy structure and material. This requires a higher individual’s ability, because many complex tactics require a huge amount of spiritual power to operate. It’s equivalent to evolving your brain to a level stronger than your intelligence, using the evolution of a person to improve your technological abilities.”
“As for traditional mechanics, due to their limited abilities, they usually rely more on machines. This kind of civilization is more likely to appear in races with congenital defects. If they want to develop technology, they will use machines to replace their own defects. Today’s computer technology and artificial intelligence were born in this kind of civilization to replace the complicated structure of the human brain. When the technology improves, they will use the technology to evolve the human body.”
Angor’s heart skipped a beat. The headmaster’s words were more or less true. These people were definitely not from Planet D!
However, she already expected this, so she was not surprised. Instead, she was more concerned about the headmaster’s theory. She asked curiously, “So traditional science and Arcana are ultimately the same thing?”
“In theory...”the headmaster smiled and shook his head. “But in fact, there’s still a big difference...”
“What do you mean?”
The headmaster said, “Take the mechanical civilization for example. In general, the time limit for the establishment of a civilization is faster in the traditional mechanical department. According to big data, most mechanical civilizations can reach the level of stepping out of the universe in a few hundred years once they start, while alchemy civilizations usually take tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years.”
“Why?”Angor quickly asked.
“Because it’s hard to cooperate with the alchemy civilization...”. The principal shook his head. “Alchemy arrays are not something that can be shared. In the arcane civilization, the stronger the strong, the weaker the weak. You’ll see that Top Arcanists can create powerful arcane machines on their own, but low-level arcanists can’t. If you want to reach the same level, you have to reach that level. For example, it takes three hundred years for an ordinary person to become an arcanist in that world. That means you have to study for a long time to reach his level, but traditional mechanics is different.”
“The traditional mechanical civilization could rely on their predecessors to design and produce industrial software, and later generations could rely on this software platform to do higher-level things. They didn’t even need to learn the bottom-level knowledge, they just needed to know how to apply it. That is, the so-called platform sharing. With the platform, the younger generation could use this platform to save a lot of unnecessary learning time, and they could carry out a more detailed division of labor. They didn’t need to know everything. Therefore, the traditional civilization would be more efficient and develop faster than the Arcana civilization, which had a higher qualification requirement. “... “...”
“I see!”Angor’s eyes brightened up. If that was the case... ...
The principal immediately understood what Angor was thinking when he saw his expression. Of course, he would not allow Angor to lead such a talented student to the traditional path, he came here mainly to promote his school in front of the other professors.
“But traditional civilization has its drawbacks,”he said quickly
