Vol 2 Chapter 1312: Senior skilled worker model and promotion mechanism reform

After listening to Gardner's introduction, Chateau also had a general understanding of the recent situation of the Magic Mechanic Office, especially about the intermediate mechanics.
What he learned before is that there are indeed low-level mages in the magic mechanics office that are about to be upgraded, but they have not been upgraded at that time, and after they are upgraded, they are not sure whether they will stay in the magic mechanics office.
The official mage of the Tower of Time, theoretically, when reaching the middle class, everyone has the opportunity to set up their own private research room.
Some outstanding ones even set up their own private research rooms during the period of low-level mages, such as Tilak.
Although this has certain historical reasons and was supported by Xia Duo, it also proved the feasibility of this matter to a certain extent.
In the eyes of traditional spellcasters, setting up a private research room can be regarded as a life goal.
As for the magician, although the name has "magic", it is actually more like a porter on the dock. Even if the current magician's treatment is not inferior to that of the average wizard of the same level, some people still can't change their minds. Bend.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help asking: "Who are those two full-time mid-level technicians, do you have Aix?"
"Yes, it's Aix and Danos. They just became Intermediate Mage not long ago, and I have been promoted to Intermediate Mechanic for them." Garnar replied.
Hearing the two familiar names of Ax and Danos, Chateau couldn't help but feel moved. Ax was a low-level apprentice and junior mechanic he had previously remembered, and he also encouraged the development of middle-level mechanics in the direction.
Unexpectedly, after the opponent became an intermediate mage, he still chose to stay at the magic mechanic. Xia Duo immediately decided to continue to train the opponent into a high-level mechanic, becoming a typical representative of the new era and new system of the Tower of Time!
As for Danos, he was originally an apprentice or subordinate of the mid-level mage Sandur, even if he has become an official mage, he has been squeezed by his mentor for a long time.
Later, during the transformation of the Tower of Time system, with the encouragement of Chateau, Danos and another apprentice of Sandur unanimously chose to leave the Sandur research room.
Under the new regulations, the owner of the private research room and the low-level mage members who join it have the right to choose each other, and it also stipulates a minimum wage and maximum working hours.
It is almost unrealistic for Sandur to want to squeeze without a bottom line.
It's just that Sandur has a bad reputation, and there is no low-level mage willing to join his research room. Now he is working in the middle-level mage Horst's magic item mass production design research room, which is also a good ending.
And the former apprentice, Danos, has now become an intermediate mage like him, and will even continue to improve in the future because of more care from Xia Duo.
I don't know at that time, Sandur will feel regret when he thinks of the squeeze that year.
It should be, and I should have regretted it now.
If he can work hard in Horst's laboratory, he may not be a good comrade in the future.
…
After chatting with Garnar for a while, Xia Duo went to see the eight magic mechanics who were working hard to practice the operation of the [Resistance Demon Aura] spell branch.
Among them are two mid-level technicians, Aix and Danos.
Xia Duo expressed concern and condolences to them one by one, and answered the questions they had during the process of practicing the [Resistance Demon Aura] spell.
…
After leaving the magician, Xia Duo went to several classrooms one after another and listened to the apprentice's teaching for a while. Finally, he did not disturb anyone on both sides of the teaching, and quietly came to the Academic Affairs Office.
Today, Jose has rarely participated in actual teaching tasks, but settled down and devoted all his energy and time to the research of teaching materials.
When Xia Duo arrived, Jose was squinting at a wood pulp paper book on the desk. He still held a pen in his hand and circled the book from time to time.
"Mage Jose, it's been a long time!" Xia Duo said hello easily.
Hearing someone calling his name, Jose immediately woke up. When he saw Xia Duo, he quickly got up and greeted: "Good morning, Lord Xia Duo!"
"Good morning." Xia Duo replied.
"I heard that your lord, you went to Sevinton, but I didn't expect to come back so soon. Do you have any special instructions for coming to the Academic Affairs Office this time?"
"There are some things that need to be left to you, and I don't feel relieved to leave them to others."
When Xia Duo said this, Jose immediately straightened his waist again, with a look of Rongyan, and said loudly, "My lord, please."
"Relax, don't have to be so formal."
Xia Duo waved his hand and asked him to sit down and talk. Jose did so, and Xia Duo continued to explain:
"I have brought you some reference materials. Combining these materials with the actual situation of the apprentices of the Tower of Time, I need you to prepare a textbook writing team as soon as possible. The Tower of Time will produce new textbooks!"
"A new textbook?"
Jose was shocked immediately. The textbooks currently used by the Apprentice of the Tower of Time seemed to him to be very good. If he could encounter such textbooks back then, he might be able to dream of some arcanists.
Even if he sees such teaching materials now, he has gained a lot. Arcanists can't guarantee that at least high-level mages and arch mages are relatively stable.
Because of this, he pays special attention to teaching materials and is even willing to spend a lot of time and energy trying to improve existing teaching materials.
Now that he heard Chateau’s request for a new edition of the textbook, Jose’s first reaction was that, apart from lamenting that the world was changing too fast, he couldn’t keep up. His biggest feeling was surprise.
Then he stared at the wood pulp and paper books Xia Duo put on his desk with a hungry gaze, and he even kept urging-take it faster, take more!
But it is a pity that even though Xia Duo has a lot of space to carry, the reference materials he prepares for why he plugs are quite limited.
It is mainly the standard textbooks brought back from the [Projection Plane·Remains of the Empire] from the Magic Academy of the Judgment Division. The content covers the main knowledge system from enlightenment to intermediate level, as well as the question bank that Xia Duo values ​​most.
The teaching materials used by the Tower of Real Time are not bad in terms of knowledge system and teaching aids. After all, for these contents, Xia Duo also refers to the teaching materials of the Magic Academy during the heyday of the Arcane Empire.
In the phase of the survivors of the empire, the academy's textbooks have been updated, but the exams have changed the most, which is simply appalling.
It can be said that the biggest reason why the graduates of the Magic Academy at the survivor stage are not middle-level mages is that they are planted in the exam.
It's not that you can't upgrade, but if you don't pass the promotion assessment, you won't be able to get the corresponding authority that belongs to the middle-level mage.
This is actually the main reason why Xia Duo wants to introduce an examination system in the Tower of Time, to separate the strength, authority, and remuneration, and to rework a more reasonable promotion mechanism to adapt to the future situation where the proportion of spellcasters is increasing.
