In the next two days, Xia Duo sat in charge of the territory and presided over the transfer of the territorial residents. Starting from the official announcement issued by the Territory Government Affairs Office, by the afternoon of the next day, more than 200,000 territorial residents had moved into the floating city.
In terms of the speed of personnel flow alone, this speed is undoubtedly very slow, but considering the sudden notification, even if there are territorial officials to guide them openly or covertly, it is already very rare to achieve this number.
Nearly half of the people in the territory have moved into the floating city. This is not only a test for the people in the territory, but also a huge test for the floating city itself.
The community infrastructure on the residential level of the floating city has never really experienced the load of so many people, and many people may not know how to use those infrastructures.
In the past two days, there have been many problems. For example, someone accidentally turned on the faucet but did not know how to turn it off. He was too embarrassed to report it to the community. It was not until the water overflowed outside his house that he was discovered by the community security officer.
Another common problem is that many people don't know how to use magic stoves. Although the territory has been promoting various household magic items in the past year, there are still only a few that have been widely used in households.
Basically, only Linshui Town and the new villages that have been granted land are used by people. In other places, especially Savile Territory, few people buy it.
After learning about these situations, Xia Duo urgently recruited a group of volunteers from the Institute to enter the community to provide guidance on the use of household magical instruments.
In addition to the various problems caused by the territorial residents, there are also some problems caused by the community itself, such as the failure of the Mithra energy transmission line, etc.
The community infrastructure in the floating city residential area had indeed been tested repeatedly before it was declared completed, but after all, only a small number of testers were tested at that time, and it was impossible to live in it for many years and continue testing.
Therefore, once it reaches the use stage, various situations occur frequently. In fact, this is equivalent to 200,000 people in the territory testing it at the same time. If there are no problems at all, it would be surprising.
In order to deal with this situation, Xia Duo on the one hand asked the community security officers to organize the public to proactively discover various problems, and on the other hand, mobilized capable forces from the various research laboratories of the Tower of Time to focus on solving various problems discovered by the community.
Up to now, although new problems are still being discovered, the mages of the Tower of Time are also constantly solving problems, and have generally maintained a balance or even a state of gradual reduction of problems.
And this kind of practice also made Xia Duo realize that if you want to build a highly developed magical civilization, the ratio of mages must not be low. If nothing else, the infrastructure of the magical civilization requires a large number of mages to maintain it.
When problems arise, mages need to solve them. It is impossible for a small number of mages to build a magical civilization that includes most ordinary people. Instead, the majority of mages should work together to build a magical civilization.
The current ratio of mages in the territory is much higher than other territories in Netheril, and even better than the elven kingdoms, but this is far from enough, and it is far from reaching the state of universal education required for civilization.
Of course, what civilization needs is not necessarily for everyone to become the top mage, but for everyone to have the ability and the opportunity to participate in the development of civilization.
Like in the past, ordinary farmers across Netheril, what abilities did they have and what opportunities did they have to participate in the development of civilization? They just farmed the land according to the orders of the lord and what they needed for their own survival.
However, farming is not actually necessary for the lord. As long as the lord builds an arcane garden, it is more than enough to meet the daily needs of himself and his followers.
In this case, the once strongest connection between mages and ordinary people was also interrupted, and mages and ordinary people simply became two different species.
In this case, unless the lord popularizes magic among the people, why should ordinary people stand up?
On the other side, there are obviously so many potential groups of quasi-mages, but the upper levels do not want to take advantage of them. Even if Netheril does not have opponents in the main plane, they still need to absorb elites from the bottom. Ordinary people in Netheril may be afraid.
It's not far away from being expelled.
The biggest obstacle to universal magic is not whether the people at the bottom have such talent, or whether there are so many resources to realize universal magic, but the selfishness of those with vested interests.
As a lord, Shado now has full power to deal with his own territory, but he can do nothing about other territories in Netheril, or even other countries in the North.
Just like Evereska, if they want to buck the trend and overtake others, what they need most at the moment is obviously a magic system that can be quickly achieved, and this kind of magic system, Shado has also provided them with it, which is Nese Magic.
.
But the correct answer is in front of them, and Everesca still hasn't written it correctly. They have indeed relaxed some restrictions and allowed some magic societies to recruit apprentices on their own, but there is still a long way to go before universal adoption.
You must know that the situation in Evereska and the Great Xia Territory is different. Almost all elves have a certain foundation in magic, rather than just hearing the name of magic like ordinary people in Netheril.
It is far easier for the elven kingdom to fully transfer to the Netherese magic system than Netheril, the birthplace of Netherese magic. The question is whether they want to.
Obviously, at least for the moment, Evereska has not yet made up its mind to fully switch to the Nese magic system. In addition to the selfish interests of vested interests, the competition between different magic systems is also a major reason.
Choosing the Nese magic system means breaking away from the traditional elven kingdoms. At the same time, in the Nese magic camp, it is also likely to always fall behind Netheril.
Probably only a small country like Elam, which is in a state of destruction at any time, has such determination. But the saddest thing is that as a small country, determination alone is not enough. It also needs the permission of a big country.
For example, Elan, who is under the protection of Yeerlan, how could they all transfer to the Nese magic system without Yeerlan's permission? It is lucky that they can take the curve route of Nese magic technician training to save the country.
If you ask for more, I'm afraid Ye Erlan will lose patience.
…
In terms of how to expand the mage group, Xia Duo mainly takes two steps. On the one hand, in his own territory, he can popularize magic according to his own ideas. However, outside his own territory, he can only guide other people through inducements.
The rulers relax restrictions on the lower classes.
For example, in Netheril, the emergence of mass-produced magic weapons has forced other mage tower organizations to follow up in order to gain sufficient competitiveness, and the best way to follow up is of course to cultivate specialized magic technicians.
This is somewhat similar to the mechanic route designed by Shado for Elan. As long as the number of mechanics reaches a certain level, magic will naturally spread.
Of course, this requires Nese magic that can be done quickly, but it is not possible to do this with Elf magic.
