Chapter 672 Recruiting apprentices and observing teaching
And [Magic Mechanic] is not only OEM for Tilak Research Laboratory, they can also provide OEM services for other research laboratories in the Tower of Time.
From now on, those who do research should concentrate on research, and those who engage in production should concentrate on production.
To achieve this goal, a huge number of spellcasters is indispensable, which is also an important reason why Chateau asked the Tower of Time to recruit new apprentices.
Times have indeed changed. When Xia Duo learned that some mage towers in the mainland had begun to divide labor and cooperate, he knew that times had changed.
Once progress occurs, it is difficult to suppress it, but after all, those mage towers are not as radical as time travelers like Shado, or in other words, there may not be anyone in Netheril as radical as him.
But in fact, in Xia Duo's own opinion, this kind of radicalness is just a basic operation.
If education cannot be popularized, how can we create civilization?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo summoned the tower spirit and set up the apprenticeship organization relationship so that apprentices could not be recruited as [Magic Mechanics] within two years of joining the Tower of Time.
Under the new system, if you cannot become a level 3 apprentice in two years and prepare for the [Level Promotion Trial], then you may not be able to become an official mage in one more year.
If that's the case, then it's really better to become a [Magic Mechanic] to make money early. After all, if you can't become a formal mage, you will have to repay the Tower of Time's expenses for training them.
The three-year training fee totals 1,000 gold coins, which is not a small sum even for a wealthy family.
This price was not outrageous in the past. After all, in the past, if an ordinary person wanted to become an official mage, it would cost about this much, and it would fluctuate depending on the individual's intelligence.
But under the new system, when the Tower of Time trains apprentices to become official mages, the biggest cost is the salary of the teaching staff. After all, a lot of knowledge has been made available for free, saving apprentices a lot of trouble.
Cultivating in large quantities is the easiest way to save costs.
In short, regardless of whether these new apprentices can eventually become official mages, the Tower of Time will never lose money. And in the long run, the more apprentices become official mages, the more profits they will make.
It is equivalent to acquiring more advanced magic technicians or researchers, or at the worst, becoming members of a new type of magic army.
…
After a few words of encouragement, Shado went to the Human Resources Department again and retrieved the information of the apprentices who had left the Tower of Time in recent years. He then notified the Foreign Affairs Mage to send them to Savile Town and asked Mayor Thain to issue a warning to those apprentices.
Recruitment order.
Now that you have realized that you have neglected the construction of [Magic Mechanic], if you want to catch it, you have to take a shortcut. Although most of the apprentices who have left the Tower of Time in recent years have given up on the path of magic, it is not that easy to forget the corresponding knowledge.
easy.
Gather those who have mastered the ability to cast spells together, and after a little training, they can become the most basic [Magic Mechanic]. After that, it is not too late to train slowly and gradually improve.
Moreover, maybe among these people there are late bloomers that were missed before!
Becoming a [Magic Mechanic] might give them a chance to embark on the path of magic again!
In Chateau's hometown, it is nothing new for workers to walk from the production line to schools, research institutes, and the military. If the conditions in Savile Land were not suitable, it would be better to carry out universal education now.
However, starting from scratch in the Great Xia Territory, there is no need to worry too much. Xia Duo has now sent all the territorial citizens around the age of 16 to the Tower of Time, and will also send those of the appropriate age in the future.
As for the territorial citizens over 16 years old, when the territory is developed to a certain extent, they will also receive corresponding magic education. However, Xia Duo does not expect too much from them, and will only give them a chance.
…
After leaving the personnel office, Xia Duo did not return directly to his residence. Instead, he walked around the public floor and inspected the classes of each apprentice class.
Under this situation, Xia Duo suddenly felt like a primary school principal.
The number of apprentices in the class is not fixed and depends on the ability of the teacher. Those who are capable can naturally lead more apprentices and of course get higher performance. This is "flexible teaching".
The apprentice has just entered the Tower of Time, a level 1 apprentice, to a level 2 apprentice in the enlightenment course, and then to a level 3 apprentice who has completed all the apprenticeship courses and only needs to pass the [Level Promotion Trial] to become a formal mage's level 3 apprentice.
There are a total of 20 books in the course from shallow to deep, of which there is only one for enlightenment, and the rest are for level 2 apprentices to learn. However, compared to the books that apprentices of the Tower of Time need to read in the past, they have been streamlined a lot.
In particular, most of these books were compiled and edited by members of the Jin Society. The original source can be traced back to the study group period, when Chateau's experience in guiding the first batch of members of the Jin Society.
It is full of Shado's thoughts and ideas on learning and teaching. If nothing else happens, this set of books should be the first systematic apprentice textbook in Netheril.
Xia Duo observed several on-site teaching sessions and found that most of the teachers were still at the stage of following the script and had not yet mastered various forms of teaching skills.
Xia Duo doesn't have much experience in this aspect. After all, he was not a professional teaching staff before time travel. It's okay to let him teach others knowledge, but to let him teach others, this will hit a blind spot.
We can only let these local mages slowly summarize and improve in practice.
However, these Xinxin teachers did a good job in answering questions, at least they were attentive. Xia Duo watched several games and did not find any perfunctory situation.
It seems that performance incentives are quite useful.
Just thinking about the extra salary paid for this, Xia Duo still feels a little distressed. Fortunately, most of these teachers are apprentices or members of the society. They are young and have not learned various fishing techniques.
However, Xia Duo felt that it was necessary to add an inspector position to the Apprentice Management Office, specifically to inspect the teaching situation, and to deduct performance by catching others.
Competition can promote improvement!
No, it is best to increase the number in the Human Resources Department. This can avoid affecting the internal harmony of the Apprentice Management Office. At the same time, it can also exert influence on the Human Resources Department and gradually integrate the Human Resources Department into the new system.
At present, all the transformation measures taken by Xia Duo have been compromised with the mid-level mages of the Tower of Time, but in the future it is imperative to fully transfer to the new system.
It’s just that now, those mid-level mages are still the backbone of the Tower of Time (in terms of income, strength, etc.). Without them, the Tower of Time will not be able to function alone. It relies on itself to earn money to support the entire Mage Tower.
Xia Duo couldn't do this kind of thing, and he didn't have that much time.
"Be careful not to be impatient, but plan slowly!"
…
After returning to his residence, Xia Duo sat in front of his desk and first made himself a cup of "Bonu Yuan Ye". Then he took out a notebook with more than ten pages of drawings from his pocket and began to design his own spell book.
.
In the past half month, Niya has been staying in the territory to "place the elves" because of the princesses, but in fact during this period she has been spending time with Sha Duo almost every day. Just a few days ago, Feld's spell book had been completely cracked.
Come.
Apart from the contents of the spell book, the spell book itself has no secrets to Sha Duo.
As for the spells recorded in the spell book, he only had a rough understanding of them and did not start to study them, mainly because he wanted to complete the spell book first.
