God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 461: Our School Is Pretty Damn Good

Returning to Roster territory, Viscount Roster immediately went to the outskirts.

This was a building complex built on a hillside.

You couldn’t really blame Viscount Roster for choosing this way, because all of Roster territory had already been developed. The only areas not yet developed where large-scale construction was possible were regions close to the mountains.

Building Roster Academy in this location could serve as daily exercise for students.

After all, from classroom buildings to dorms, from dorms to the cafeteria, they’d need to constantly go uphill and downhill.

Of course, only this aspect was kind of rough. Other aspects were much better.

As soon as he arrived at Roster Academy, Viscount Roster immediately saw a massive castle hidden in the mountain forest, its outer walls covered with white coating, topped with red spires, sparkling in the sunlight, as if it had walked out of a fairy tale.

This castle was Roster Academy’s main building.

If you got closer, you’d discover that this building only looked like a castle on the outside; in reality it was a very pure modern building.

Inside, it no longer had that darkness and heaviness of traditional castles.

The castle wasn’t even built from piled stone; it used steel-reinforced concrete plus brick materials.

The entire academy, besides using lots of feed materials at the main gate, had no more traditional buildings.

The entire Roster Academy was extremely large in scale, able to accommodate 30,000 people for study.

"Lord Viscount, this is the Mechanical Engineering School’s classroom building. It uses lots of modern architecture, with complete internal facilities that can provide students with an excellent learning environment..."

"This is the laboratory, specifically for each school to conduct magic-tech experiments..."

"Here is the athletic field, covering over 100 acres, with training grounds for many different sports..."

"These are the student dormitories. We offer 4-person and 6-person rooms. Though a bit crowded, conditions are excellent; each room has a temperature-control Magic Conductor, private bathroom..."

"This is our school library, with both traditional books and new-style books. Right now there are more traditional books, covering various churches and all kinds of humanities materials. New-style books are mostly provided by gods or territory experts..."

"This building is the clock tower, also our academy’s landmark building. We use it to tell time, informing students and teachers of class start and end times..."

The Roster Academy dean personally led Viscount Roster around the academy.

The architectural style here looked mostly no different from other places, but in reality everything used new-style construction.

Compared to traditional buildings, defensive capabilities were much lower, but the comfort level had multiplied many times over.

What made Viscount Roster even more satisfied was that all the requirements he’d proposed, including laboratories, athletic fields, libraries, etc., had all been excellently constructed. This was absolutely unique in this era.

Besides that, the school environment was also quite good, with greenery everywhere, giving people a comfortable feeling.

Aside from needing to frequently go uphill and downhill, there were no problems.

There was even a huge artificial lake in the school.

After touring around and confirming the entire school had no issues, at least no obvious ones, Viscount Roster immediately had people start preparing to officially announce it publicly.

While various factions were still looking for Viscount Roster, a press conference jointly held by Viscount Roster, Roster Territory Group Company, and World Economic News Agency officially opened.

When the news came out, everyone was stunned for a moment. How did Viscount Roster suddenly return to Roster territory? And he was starting a livestream?

The announcement was very simple, only saying there was big news to announce, but nobody knew what exactly the big news was.

About three hours after the news came out would be the livestream. They didn’t have time to investigate anything. The Magic Net was full of discussion.

Soon, the press conference livestream started.

The moment people clicked into the stream, they saw Viscount Roster with a huge, magnificent-looking castle behind him, and at a smaller position was an enormous projection screen.

"I know this building; it’s in the mountains of Roster territory!"

"About seventy or eighty days ago I saw this building. I thought Viscount Roster built it for vacation."

"So what’s this livestream actually for?"

"It can’t just be introducing this building complex, right? Though this castle is really beautiful."

"..."

Discussion immediately started in the livestream. This was kind of a network specialty.

With the network’s development, everyone had started becoming more active. Things they originally didn’t dare comment on, they now discussed enthusiastically.

"Everyone, I imagine you’re very curious what this press conference wants to say? Or perhaps you want to know what this building complex is?"

Viscount Roster’s voice was very steady. "Well, I’ll reveal the answer now."

"This place will be named Roster Academy! A school that can simultaneously accommodate 30,000 students!"

"Unlike traditional schools, this only admits students with a certain foundation!"

"We’ll break all traditional modes of teaching knowledge. All teachers who impart knowledge also need to conduct original research. Students will participate in research to cultivate critical thinking, thereby improving themselves."

"Although I’m a believer in the God of Technology, here, everyone can be free from religious and political interference, freely choosing the topics they want to research!"

"We’ll also invite the vast majority of churches to establish teaching here. Of course, after churches move in, they’ll also focus on their faith power, independently developing divine arts, or conducting readings around sacred texts."

When they heard the first part, people just felt somewhat surprised, though they could understand it.

After all, this was Viscount Roster’s territory, the birthplace of magic-tech. People here all liked conducting various kinds of research.

Establishing an academy to have students participate in research, cultivating students’ research abilities, this was naturally excellent.

But hearing the latter part, everyone froze.

Free from religious and political interference?

Didn’t that mean a Church of Technology believer could, if willing, study Church of Agriculture knowledge here?

Though this sounded somewhat ridiculous, and studying it seemed useless because without the Agricultural Goddess’s feedback, divine arts couldn’t be used at all, even so, it was shocking and different, a concept nobody had ever proposed before.

And divine arts themselves, that stuff could be researched!?

What if it wasn’t standard?

Many clerics, when using divine arts, followed every movement precisely.

Just as people were amazed, someone from a church in the livestream explained that different rank clerics’ faith power feedback and characteristics were indeed fixed, and all divine arts were developed by predecessors through characteristics and faith power bestowed by gods.

In other words, as long as it was within the characteristic range, as long as your faith power could support it, you could make small-range modifications.
