Chapter 381: Seducing Alchemists
As for the problem of lack of alchemists in the north, Purficott was actually thinking of a solution when he realized this.
It is definitely too late to train them now, but a system for training alchemists needs to be established. At least this can cultivate talents for the future of the North.
So it is a natural thing for a specialized alchemy school to be established in Chernobog, and along with it, the influence of this school on the entire northern territory, and even the entire empire. Admissions.
But distant water cannot quench the near thirst. Even if the enrollment goes smoothly and apprentices who meet Purficott's requirements can be recruited, it is necessary to train an alchemy apprentice with a certain foundation into a qualified alchemist through the empire's Professional certification, which takes at least nine months.
This kind of training speed can only be achieved with the help of Perficott, a top alchemist and a group of alchemy professors from many universities in the empire.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least five years of professional training for an ordinary person with a certain amount of alchemy talent to go from knowing nothing to becoming a qualified alchemist.
And this is based on the premise that the other party has this talent and can become an alchemist.
If you have poor talent or are simply not suitable to be an alchemist, you may not be able to get into the profession in ten or eight years.
Under such a premise, it is undoubtedly very costly and time-consuming to train a qualified alchemist.
This is why before the empire entered the industrial age, the alchemists of the empire paid great attention to their apprenticeships and factions, because only large enough factions had enough accumulation to train alchemists with a relatively higher efficiency.
For the alchemy faction, how to train new people for their faction more efficiently is something that every faction is very concerned about.
After all, the talents you recruit are not as loyal to the faction as the people you have trained since childhood.
Even after entering the industrial age, the empire established a new education system, and alchemy-related courses were also offered in universities. The alchemy department also compiled alchemy-related textbooks in a relatively more systematic way. Alchemists began to be trained more efficiently, but this still did not completely break away from the traditional training model.
It's just that the past factions or families have evolved into the alchemy departments of various universities. In addition to normal classes, those professors still train new alchemists in the form of masters and apprentices.
However, traditional things such as factions and masters and apprentices in the past are still preserved.
Perfect did not express any opinions on these. Although she hopes to train new alchemists more efficiently to solve the problems she is facing now, since these traditions and status quo exist, there must be their own She will still maintain the necessary respect for the reason for her existence.
After all, education is a matter of whether the master is willing to teach, and whether the apprentice is willing to learn is another.
Since the current model can cultivate qualified alchemists at a relatively acceptable efficiency, there is no need to carry out large-scale educational reforms unless there is a very urgent need at present. Measures like this subvert the original training model.
But now the problems faced by the Northern Territory still need to be solved, which gives Purficott a headache.
Some people may ask, why not recruit alchemists from the empire itself?
In fact, if he can recruit them, Purficott doesn’t mind spending a lot of money. Money is really not a problem for the northern lords anyway, and Purficott can even offer a title as a reward. A bargaining chip for recruiting talents. But so far, there are only a few alchemists who can meet Purficott's requirements and obtain a knighthood. The few who have not received the canonization documents of the pioneer knights have only obtained the title of honorary knight of the White Bear Knights.
As for ordinary alchemists, there is a group, but this group is really not enough.
Although Purficott made a request to the empire's center on this issue, asking the empire to send more alchemists, the empire itself can dispatch a limited number of alchemists, and the number that can be mobilized is also limited. limited.
This made Purficott feel very unhappy, but he could only express his helplessness.
Many alchemists in the empire do not belong to the imperial government, but open their own alchemy workshops. Most of these alchemists are more focused on their own research. They cannot say that they do not listen to the empire’s calls or orders, but they are also At least not much reaction.
If the empire just needs them to produce something, then it’s okay. Just like the last time Perficott needed to make thermobaric bombs, he did it through the empire center to all the alchemists and alchemy workshops in Langdon. Due to overall coordination, the thermobaric bomb was created in a very short period of time.
But if the empire needs alchemists to work in the north or control robots to clear dust, few people will be willing to come.
After all, not only do you have to come to such a remote place in the North, you are still working as a construction worker, which requires a lot of energy every day. This is not an easy job for alchemists.
Because of this, Purficott basically recruits very few candidates in the empire. Those who can come are some formal alchemists who have not done well, or apprentices who have not yet obtained professional certification.
Although it is not impossible for Purficott to become an apprentice, as long as he spends time on pre-job training, the point is that even apprenticeship is actually not enough.
This makes it difficult for Purficott. She is also an alchemist herself. She knows clearly what kind of virtues the alchemists in the empire have. If there is not enough to attract them, there is no way to make this group of both Alchemists who are not short of money and have no idea about power are tempted.
This made Purficott regret a little. He had thrown out Fantasy Alchemy before, otherwise he could use Fantasy Alchemy to seduce them now.
However, after careful consideration, Purficott felt that he could still come up with something attractive enough to make those alchemists take the initiative to come to the north.
And what she was about to bring out was the systematic knowledge of modern chemistry in the original world.
This time she stopped playing fantasy, and jumped back into the field of traditional alchemy. However, instead of strengthening traditional alchemy, she separated the subject of modern chemistry from it.
Although Purficott was a liberal arts student before time travel, luckily she did well in the chemistry class, and most of the things she learned can be thought of if she is willing to take the time to look back. She had to get up, so she quickly prepared what she was going to throw out.
