God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 462: So Many Specializations?

Just as almost everyone was feeling shocked by Viscount Roster’s words, he spoke again.

"Roster Academy will be divided into several subordinate secondary schools, including the School of Theology, School of Magic, School of Magic Conductors, School of Economics, School of Law, School of Education, School of Liberal Arts, School of Agriculture, School of Medicine, and School of Business."

Now people were even more shocked!

This academy’s subordinate schools actually included so many things, not just Magic Conductor-related stuff.

Those previous words really weren’t just examples.

You had to know, Viscount Roster was a loyal believer in the God of Technology. Roster territory was even more so the Church of Technology’s home base. Forget everything else, the weapons used by tech clerics currently fighting north of the watch wall were all produced in Roster territory.

Such a loyal God of Technology believer, he established an academy, and it wasn’t just focused on technology!

School of Theology!

These three words alone were shocking enough.

How many gods’ faiths would be moved into this school?

Forget whether those churches would agree or not, just Viscount Roster breaking precedent like this had already overturned most people’s understanding.

In the old days, who would dare imagine a school teaching people about gods?

Besides that, the other schools were interesting enough too.

In everyone’s understanding of the School of Magic Conductors, or you could say, everyone just thought Roster Academy was the School of Magic Conductors.

Turned out it clearly wasn’t.

The School of Magic wasn’t too surprising. Though now quite a few Magic Conductors didn’t need magic power to maintain them, the vast majority of Magic Conductors still needed magic power maintenance, and many magic machines had tons of magic runes inscribed on them. Having a school like this was very normal.

Of course, this was their thinking before hearing about the School of Magic’s subordinate specializations.

As for the School of Economics, School of Law, School of Education, School of Liberal Arts, School of Agriculture, School of Medicine, School of Business... these far exceeded people’s expectations.

They hadn’t expected these things could actually be taught in a school.

They simply couldn’t imagine Roster Academy would teach these things.

What was the School of Economics?

The School of Law studied law? How could you study the laws of this world? Forget about those dozens of countries spread across the continent, just look at the territories below them, the city-states under the City-State Alliance, which one didn’t have independent laws?

Saying this world had thousands upon thousands of different laws, they wouldn’t find that strange at all. What would this school teach?

The School of Education was understandable. After all, recently, whether it was Viscount Roster or various churches, they’d all been actively establishing all kinds of schools.

Having a specialized major to teach teachers how they should teach was appropriate.

School of Liberal Arts, School of Agriculture, School of Medicine, School of Business, what would these teach? Writing essays? Farming? Healing? Doing business?

These things could also be taught in schools? How would they be taught?

Viscount Roster didn’t let them wonder for long.

He started rapidly explaining what each school would teach.

For example, the School of Magic had several majors underneath it, including the Combat Magic major that mainly taught combat techniques, the Production Magic major that mainly taught production and operations, the Runes major that mainly taught runic arts, the Spell Model major that mainly taught spell models, and so on.

Each school had a whole bunch of majors to choose from.

Each school was introduced clearly and thoroughly, except for the School of Theology, because the School of Theology was prepared for various churches; only after they moved in could they decide what to teach.

"I imagine everyone can clearly feel that there’s potential for crossover between these schools. If you want to research techniques from one school or multiple schools, what should you do?"

After people had pretty much understood each school’s situation, Viscount Roster smiled and said, "This involves another feature of our academy, multi-school, multi-disciplinary cross-research."

"For example, the School of Agriculture and the Church of Agriculture. If the Church of Agriculture moves into Roster Academy, they’d definitely enter the School of Theology, right? But what if the School of Agriculture needs to conduct some related research and needs agricultural clerics to assist?"

"We have specialized laboratories available. The School of Agriculture just needs to apply for the project. If the Agricultural Church major is willing to assist, both sides can reach cooperation and conduct R&D in specialized laboratories. Naturally the results belong to both sides; all of this is negotiable."

"This is another core of our Roster Academy: interdisciplinary cooperation."

"The School of Agriculture and the School of Theology’s Church of Agriculture cooperating isn’t a special case. For example, the School of Magic’s Runes major cooperating with the School of Magic Conductors, I’m sure everyone knows how much is involved there?"

"Same with everything else."

"Some people might think this design isn’t reasonable, because wanting to conduct many projects will become complicated. But what I want to say is, only by categorizing this way can talent in every field develop more easily."

"The future might be an era of multi-party cooperation, but each person needs to have their own direction."

The livestream was chaotic, but Viscount Roster suddenly stepped forward. "The times have changed. Once upon a time, disease was divine punishment, distance was an abyss, night was fear. We seemed to live in an extremely harsh environment."

"But now, all of this has changed."

"Disease, we can use Light divine arts to heal, we can use druid potions to heal, we can use magic-tech medicine to heal. Distance can be broken by magic-powered vehicles and the ultra-high-speed rail system. We conquered the night long ago."

"We must adapt to the times’ development. Roster Academy was launched for exactly this!"

In the old days, Viscount Roster would definitely have said: The flame of knowledge flickers only within mage towers, the authority of power grasps in bloodline hands, a peasant gazing up at noble carriages’ dust is itself a sin, a craftsman exhausting a lifetime’s effort can barely explore half a mystery.

But now he was different.

All of this was continuously changing in his hands, but he wouldn’t say it out loud.

Standing in different positions, you see different scenery.

Once he was just a small viscount managing a small territory.

His words would only spread to the few surrounding territories. His actions would only affect people in one territory.

But even so, he’d almost lost everything.

Now the situation was different. One sentence from him could shake the continent.

So he’d started preferring to make gradual changes.

Taking a slow, methodical approach.

Just like the recent steel futures incident, it directly ensured the vast majority of nobles would never have a chance to rise again, directly let countless peasants own their own land at very low cost...

Having already done such things, naturally there was no need to keep stimulating people with words.
