Chapter 891: Demographic factors, fraudulent funds

Even if the threshold to become a mage is low, there are still a few people who have the potential to continue their studies, which is like Xia Duo's hometown.
It seems that college students are all over the street, and the number is so rampant that no one wants them anywhere, but after a check, it turns out that the undergraduate rate is only 4%!
In this world, it is hard to say whether the casters account for 4% of the population, let alone arcanists.
According to Xia Duo's personal experience and the observations of many apprentices and wizards in the Tower of Time, arcanists can actually be regarded as middle school students before.
Only becoming an arcanist is equivalent to going to university, and this process requires years of study and further education.
Even Xia Duo, with all the conveniences and advanced learning methods brought from the earth, still took at least seven years to become an Arcanist (including the time of the projection plane).
Therefore, the actual arcanist ratio, let alone 4% of the population, even if it was only 1%, Xia Duo would laugh.
If it is one percent, it means that even with the current population, the Daxia collar plus the Savile collar can give birth to more than 600 arcanists.
What kind of concept is this? Maybe the total number of arcanists in Netheril today is not that many!
Moreover, modern education on the earth has the premise of huge investment, but here, today's Savile collar and Daxia collar, it is impossible to let all the leaders off-job and study at once, and they will continue to train for many years.
It is impossible to achieve leapfrog development.
Of course, the current ideas and actions of Xia Duo may have been a proper leap-forward development in the eyes of Nishite.
But in his own view, this is nothing more than a step-by-step approach under the guidance of advanced theories, and it is far from jumping.
Since you can't jump, you have to look for opportunities from the population, and from a long-term perspective, population is also an invisible condition that any civilization with the limit of individual wisdom will ultimately not be able to bypass.
This is like the core industrial population on the planet. Before Xia Duo crosses, maintaining a relatively complete industrial system requires tens of millions of core industrial population.
This is only the industrial population. If you count other industries, the number is even larger.
Basically, a country with a total population of less than 50 million does not even have a complete modern industrial foundation, let alone a development, and can only hope for some partial technologies in an attempt to occupy a place in the future.
But obviously, the protagonist in the future cannot be them at all.
Because they can develop, countries with large populations can also develop, and even if they are slightly behind, they can quickly catch up.
Xia Duo even heard of a theory that the core industrial population needed to break out the fourth industrial revolution would be in the hundreds of millions.
At the same time, there will be more and more sub-disciplines in the future, and there will be more and more demand for scientific researchers.
Regarding the game of the future, big countries have always participated and small countries have screamed. The "big" and "small" here can basically refer to the population of the modern society.
In this real magical world, the nature of the world may be different from the universe where the earth is located, but the law of development can also be used for reference.
Perhaps, the gods of this world possess infinite wisdom, but on the way to becoming a god, individual wisdom is always not as strong as the collective one.
Furthermore, Xia Duo did not believe that God possesses infinite wisdom. If there is, it is omniscient, and omniscience can deduce omnipotence.
But it is clear that the gods are not omniscient and omnipotent.
As long as it is limited, it must be 1+1>1. If you listen to it at the same time, you will be bright, and the ancient people on the earth have such wisdom. How can Xia Duo be so arrogant that he thinks that his own wisdom is enough to overwhelm the others, including him. More people gather too!
Sometimes it's okay to make jokes, but when you think about future development plans in your heart alone, you still think so, that's a lack of heart.
...
Walking to the door of the Materials Department, Xia Duo had already determined in his mind the basic policy of introducing a new population in an all-round way. Of course, the specific implementation steps need to be considered in the long term.
Not only need to listen to the advice of people from many different sources, but also need to discuss with Niya, he can't fix it with a single shot here.
Entering the material office, Cecily greeted him quickly, and seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, "sir, I think it is necessary to say something."
"Ok?"
Chateau looked at Cecily for a while, but the other party’s formulaic expression made it difficult for him to capture any information, so he bypassed her, went to a seat inside and sat down and said:
"What's the matter? I happen to have something to ask you, so let's talk about it first!"
"wait a minutes."
Cecily turned around and pulled out a stack of loose parchment papers from the desk and sent them to Chateau before saying:
"That's it. In the month you left, the Tillak Research Office applied for a large amount of materials. Of course, I know that those are mainly for the manufacture of communication instruments and have been approved. But in the long run, the Tower of Time will again Faced with a shortage of materials!
"In addition, after the implementation of the "Tower of Time Research Laboratory Management Standards", it was difficult for those mid-level mages to work on outsourcing tasks, so they all began to imitate Tilak. I applied for materials here, but most of the materials were wasted or turned into their private property."
At the end of the day, Cecily finally no longer had the formulaic expression on her face, but took some anger, as if she was very dissatisfied with the actions of the middle-level mages.
While listening to Xia Duo, he flipped through the papers on the desk. There were all application records on them. Of course, the most was the Tillak Research Room.
Although communication artifacts can already be mass-produced and handed over to the magic mechanics office for production, the magic mechanics office is equivalent to an outsourcing factory and requires various research laboratories to place orders.
Communication artifacts are the product of the Tilak research room. Of course, when it is divided, the Tower of Time accounts for the majority. After all, both the magic and the funding are provided by the Tower of Time.
But nominally, the materials for the communication magical tools at the Magician Office still need to be applied for by the Tilak Research Office, which is considered a normal process.
After all, proceduralization, standardization, institutionalization, and separation of powers have always been a keynote that Xia Duo deliberately emphasized in the process of promoting the transformation of the Tower of Time.
Only in this way is it more conducive to the transformation of the Tower of Time into a highly ordered modern organization.
...
In addition to the material application for the Tillak research room, in addition to the production of communication instruments, there are also materials to maintain the normal remote transfer of the research room.
The number of applications Xia Duo recalled, and found that there was not much change from the number of applications they had previously applied, and it seemed that the Tillak Laboratory had been in a stable state.
And under the application documents of the Tillak Lab, there was also an application document from the Leonard Lab that Cecily did not mention earlier.
