Chapter 985 Academy City (II)
“Independent?”
Both Yu Chen and Yi Zhao were confused, and they couldn’t understand how those academies could become independent smoothly.
“Yes, it became independent, but not immediately. It became independent after Academy City had completely entered a healthy operation and fully expanded its scale. At that time, it was already called Academy City. "
Fiyali shrugged and said with a smile: "As for the specific process, it's a long story..."
Then the Saint of Fortune took out five cushions from one of the space storage items on her body, gave one to each of Mo Tan and the others, sat on the ground and started talking nonstop.
As she said, the colleges established by the Sun Dynasty did not immediately become independent in a short period of time. They only drew a clear line with their old employers after they became a unique cluster of colleges in the entire continent and their wings were completely hardened. , and this process took a total of...nearly three hundred years.
The Sun Dynasty spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources to establish those colleges for the purpose of network talents. This was not a shady conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy that covered the entire innocent continent. After all, there was no People are fools. When the Sun Dynasty spreads out its publicity plan for those colleges, even any stall owner can guess which ambitious dynasty is definitely not planning to do some charity on a whim and intends to provide young talents from all over the world. And provide a platform for talents who are not young.
Indiscriminately win over talented people, mainly young people, select and cultivate capable potential stocks in various fields, and turn them into fresh blood to fill the increasingly large dynasty. This is the core reason why these academic clusters, which have devoted one-third of the entire dynasty's top talents and huge sums of money, can come into being.
The Sun Dynasty did not hide it. They have stated from the very beginning that no matter who can succeed in those top universities, they will be able to obtain the political, economic, and resource advantages of the Dynasty after graduation. and even full support in terms of social status.
To put it in terms that are easier for us to understand, as long as you pass the test after graduation, you will be allocated a car, a house, money, a stable job with a salary above the social average, and five insurances and one housing fund. take.
Of course, there is a premise for all this, and this premise is very simple, that is, you need to change your household registration.
This trick can be said to be quite advanced and difficult to copy. It is not that the idea is difficult to come up with, and no one else except the great minds of the Sun Dynasty can figure it out, but looking at the entire Innocence Continent at that time, there is no such thing. Any force can create a bunch of higher education institutions from scratch like the Sun Dynasty.
That’s right, a bunch of them, not one!
Although many large forces at that time had the capital to erect an oxford academy in situ, a single academy was naturally unable to compete with the group of academies established by the Sun Dynasty, and this did not include money and hardware. In fact, even excluding the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Steam Consortium, the two largest top chaebols in the continent, there were many forces that were able to establish enough academies at that time. After all, in this world with a fantasy worldview, the cost of building an academy In fact, it is not high. Sometimes, you only need an epic-level earth magician or a blessed seed to create or plant an academy.
But the problem is, we have the college, we have the venue, we have the money, but where are the people?
Teaching strength. Teacher strength. Now that we have the qualifications, where are the teachers?
The Sun Dynasty can send hundreds of masters in various fields to give lectures at one go, and even occasionally have legendary professors to make soy sauce. Can other forces do it?
Unfortunately, let alone back then, even now, no force can do this kind of thing.
The Violet Empire has the 'Violet Military Academy' which has a history of hundreds of years and has produced numerous talents, and two schools of the same level located in the Duntis Territory and the Simon Territory respectively; the City of Light also has the famous 'Holy Union Theological Seminary' , but these can all be counted on one hand.
But the academy cluster established by the Sun Dynasty back then is also the current Academy City. It contains top universities of the same level, not to mention one hand, even one's feet.
Coupled with their ultra-low threshold of recruiting students regardless of their background or financial strength, as long as they have talent, they set off a trend throughout the continent almost in the first year of its establishment. , the threshold was crossed by countless scholars who flocked to it.
After all, no matter which world view you are in, there are too many people with unrecognized talents. Even if there are a lot of discerning people who can screen out 99% of the people who are just useless, there are definitely many people who are truly talented and have potential. It’s just that It just failed to shine due to various reasons.
For example, if there are ten young civilians who were born in the Violet Empire and have great interest and talent in the field of command operations, only one of them will be lucky enough to enter the Imperial Military Academy for further study, and The other nine people will be squeezed out by the son of a grand duke, the nephew of a marquis, the nephew of a generous wealthy businessman, or someone who has a school district room opposite the Imperial Military Academy, even if these have no potential. Not as good as them.
This is a fact, an irrefutable, iron-clad fact.
Because the world is not fair, this is normal, because if it were completely fair, the world would be in chaos.
In this case, the schools established by the Sun Dynasty gave those eliminated a chance, a chance that was not absolutely fair, but at least relatively fair.
‘You may be turned away, but that’s just because you’re not as skilled as others, not because you’re from a humble background or you’re short of money. '
This sentence is the honorary dean of 'Edmund Skyfire Academy'. Legend has it that Edmund Tonks, the sage of both thunder and fire systems, accidentally fell in love with a certain person who came from thousands of miles away. In Academy City, the words of the poor dwarf who hesitated in front of the luxurious gate of Skyfire Academy were not propaganda slogans, but they were regarded as classics by countless students in the future.
By the way, the dwarf young man who finally had the courage to click on the 'Edmund Skyfire Academy' button was named Ketone Shaomei. He was the eldest son of a family that made a living by selling sugar cookies. At the same time, he is also the only one who has obtained the "Edmund Skyfire Academy" consecutive The ultimate academic master with the highest scholarship for eight years, one of the few monsters in history who achieved legendary level strength before the age of forty. Not only that, he even became a sage of the four elements of fire, wind, thunder and shadow in his later years. His achievements make him one of the representatives of Academy City graduates.
Although he did not choose to serve the Sun Dynasty in the end, even though he was eccentric and trouble-making, even though he was sued many times, and even though there were rumors that he turned the Red Scale Dragon Peak, the pride of the Dragon Clan, into an active volcano, Master Edmund Tonks, the leader of the Sun Dynasty's Thousand Relics Mage Group, still regarded him as his most outstanding, proud, and most wanted disciple to be slapped to death.
In short, those college clusters, the predecessors of the college cities, quickly became famous and became one of the most popular places in the entire continent. In the end, even other forces screened them out in batches. Many promising young people are sent to further their studies because the educational conditions there are so good.
And the academies also accept all comers. Even if they know that many students sent by other forces are unlikely to jump to the Sun Dynasty, they still do not make things difficult and harsh. As long as they are qualified, they will not reject them.
The Sun Dynasty never thought about monopolizing the education sector of the Innocence Continent from the beginning, nor did it think about intercepting all young talents. It only needs to ensure that it has more talents than others.
Even if one of the hundred students sent by other forces changes their household registration, they will be considered to have made money, and those who cannot join the Sun Dynasty due to various reasons will basically have a good relationship. It’s not a loss anyway.
However, just three hundred years after the main staff had changed for several generations, and the number of students who stayed in school after graduation among the senior leaders of each college accounted for a certain proportion, in the opening season of a certain year, all these colleges funded by the Sun Dynasty They actually jointly issued a statement. The central idea can be basically summarized as follows: From now on, the major colleges will no longer be affiliated with the Sun Dynasty, but will continue to operate as a permanently neutral educational institution without any camp bias, and will continue to operate as a permanent neutral educational institution. The Academy Cluster is renamed Academy City.
After the statement, the whole world was shocked. The first reaction of all the major forces was ecstasy, and after the ecstasy, they were worried. They were worried about whether the Sun Dynasty, which had nearly doubled its strength three hundred years ago, would Directly send troops to bulldoze the newly established 'Academy City'. Perhaps Academy City, with its countless big bosses, is powerful and even has the energy to directly eradicate some small and medium-sized forces, but compared to its old club, it is still far behind.
The shocking result is that not only did the Sun Dynasty not destroy Academy City in anger, they didn't even evacuate any of the 'employees' working there. Acquiesced to the independence of Academy City.
After that, Academy City naturally abolished the various benefits that promising talents could receive in the Sun Dynasty after graduation, and replaced them with benefits for staying in Academy City, and even The one-sided Wei Guangzheng information about the Sun Dynasty in many historical courses has been changed to make the content more consistent with historical facts, and then there is no delay in recruiting students and teaching.
However, in view of the increasingly bad reputation of the Sun Dynasty in the past century, the major forces did not take it lightly. Instead, they always speculated on the independent incident in Academy City with the idea of "Is there some conspiracy?" Even in the first few years, certain The flow of talents to Academy City was reduced to a certain extent, but as time went by, Academy City, which was as prosperous as ever and even became more and more prosperous, made everyone feel relieved, and in the end, it was still a matter of course.
Then, almost a hundred years later, the Sun Dynasty suddenly took action against the Dragon Clan, which had always had a good relationship with them.
The result shocked the whole world again, but this time everyone was not shocked for long. It is not that the per capita psychological quality of the Innocence Continent has improved, but that the Sun Dynasty was directly eradicated in just thirteen days. He defeated the dragon's pride and destroyed the entire dragon clan.
What followed naturally was the third time that the whole world was shocked, because although everyone knew that the Sun Dynasty was powerful before that, they did not know that they were already so powerful that even the Dragon Clan could defeat them in half. Collapse within a month.
And then...
Reign of the Sun gave the world its fourth and final shock.
It was paralyzed. It was paralyzed very inexplicably. It was flattened by a meteorite falling from the sky to the royal capital Undersher. All the high-level officials died almost overnight.
Then the Sun Dynasty was destroyed by the forces that had long regarded it as a huge threat.
As for Academy City, it is still that Academy City, standing at the academic pinnacle of the entire innocent world in the name of an absolutely neutral organization. It is prosperous and not in a trance.
Later, the attention paid to Academy City by all walks of life in the mainland increased rapidly due to the fall of the Sun Dynasty. The major forces that no longer had any scruples devoted almost 200% of their enthusiasm to this 'Holy Land', Academy City, which does not participate in any formal activities and always adheres to an inclusive and open academic attitude, is regarded as the best talent market.
Finally, several years after the fall of the Sun Dynasty, Academy City, under pressure... to put it mildly, under the pleading of major forces, decided to hold an invitation meeting every five years, with the core purpose of giving the world Outstanding young people have an opportunity to communicate and learn. The Academy City Elders Association sends invitations to various countries, forces, and organizations around the world, and it has become an important source of talent for all walks of life.
"But today, the original invitation has long since changed in nature, ah, thank you."
Fiyali took a sip of the juice handed over by Yu Chen, and said carelessly He touched his mouth with his sleeve and shrugged: "Since a long time ago, the invitational meeting has evolved into an exchange meeting. Although on the surface it is still an event for outstanding young people from all over the world to communicate and learn from each other, because the invitees are basically The reasons for the top forces from all walks of life have gradually developed into multilateral informal meetings covering military, trade, transnational joint operations, etc."
Yu Chen blinked and praised softly: "It feels so awesome. Yeah!”
Although he looked like he didn’t understand it at all, and there were actually many details that he still didn’t understand, Yuchen still understood the exchange meeting he was about to attend immediately. nature.
"It's quite impressive. It can be said that there is no other summit of this scale in the entire continent."
Phyllis shrugged and spread her hands: "In short, many major events will be let go. The discussion in this exchange meeting, whether it is on the table or off the table, is a very good platform. For example, when I went there this time, I mainly represented our United Holy Church to talk to the executives of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Steam Consortium. The content of the cooperation is very complicated and trivial. If printed, it would kill Ha Fan."
Innocent Mo Tan twitched his lips: "Why should you shoot me to death..."
< br>"It's just a metaphor, don't worry about the details."
Fiyali drank up the juice given by Yuchen, stretched her body lazily, clapped her hands and said, "That's probably what happened."< br>
"Well, thank you, Your Highness Fiyali, I understand."
Yizou nodded slightly, and then asked curiously: "But, since you represent the United Alliance to negotiate business with those executives, what about us? Just to experience it?"
"Of course not, your main task is actually to grow a face."
"Grow a face?"
"Yes, give us Holy Spirit. Teach the United Nations to have a good face and let those stupid students who think too highly of themselves know what it means to be someone outside the world.”
"Huh?"
