"The first batch was the bravest, but also the one with the greatest losses. However, they were the ones who laid the foundation for reclamation. Under the feedback of the first phase's team, the second phase's team was formed. In order to stabilize the initial investment and build the camp, under the request of the first phase, the members of the second phase's team were mainly craftsmen and technicians with outstanding memories … Why does this storyline feel strangely familiar?
As the person in charge of the second phase of the project, Rorschach received information about the second phase of the project before he could even rest at the new station after the meeting.
Twelve thousand people, six times the number of the first batch. Although this sounded rather frightening, it wasn't actually the same thing.
Back then, the first batch's investment already involved the entire country's core spellcaster organizations, as well as the Mage of Truth's personal collection. Even though the difficulty of dimensional smuggling had decreased over time, it was still impossible to take out six times the investment of the first batch.
This batch's investment was probably less than one-tenth of the first batch's investment. Being able to transfer so many people at once wasn't only due to technological advancements and the fact that dimensional coordinates had decreased the difficulty of dimensional transfers. More importantly, the "goods" had changed.
"There's no combat personnel at all? If there's a battle, Ansorenne isn't peaceful right now … No, perhaps this is a wise choice. "
Apart from the distance, the cost of transporting goods was also dependent on the volume and quality of the goods themselves. A high-level job class would have a lot of energy to begin with, so transporting goods of such high "quality" would be incredibly taxing.
Otherwise, the first batch's Mage Country wouldn't have needed to send in apprentices, let alone low-level apprentices. Sending in archmages would have saved a lot of trouble.
The second batch had many apprentices, but they weren't as valuable as the first batch's apprentices. However, Rorschach felt that these apprentices were what Vila Nova Dônia needed the most.
"Intellectuals, skilled workers, artisans, architects, artists, researchers, authors … Forget about the authors. They don't have much to contribute apart from being eloquent. They're also always talking nonsense. If they incite some sort of racial revolution, that would be shooting themselves in the foot."
These apprentices were completely powerless. In the elemental and magical world, they would be the most ordinary mortals. In fact, high-level magical creatures would even view them as meaningless and cheap pieces of meat.
However, in human society, these apprentices were the true core and backbone. These talented individuals were the sturdy cornerstones of skyscrapers.
Looking back on the past, Vila Nova Dônia's various problems were usually due to a lack of talented individuals in certain fields. For the recent stock market disaster, if there had been any financial talents or supervisors, they wouldn't have allowed the other companies to do as they pleased. They almost died.
Although they probably wouldn't be able to bring anything with them after they teleported, their skillful job class skills and knowledge would be the greatest amount of wealth.
After a series of contracts were signed, the Mage Country took over a portion of the Radiance Scroll, Oak Child, and Griffin Griffin's share of the Radiance Scroll.
This investment to become the new new shareholders to join the new new company.
And this wasn't even the most valuable part of this gift. The generosity of a mega empire meant many benefits that Roxia hadn't even dared to imagine before.
"Are you kidding me? The sixth-generation prototype technology, the seventh-generation prototype technology, and experimental data. These are all things that are impossible to buy on the market. If I sell them to other mega countries, I'll be able to change my title to Duke, buy a city, and become a little king …"
[Go ahead and sell them. I'll change my surname to yours if they don't kill you.]
"Ha, that's still my surname, Roland. I can give you my other surname, but are you willing to accept the trouble that comes with it …? "
Rorschach joked with his younger sister, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to monopolize the technology. That would truly be a crime of treason, and he would be hunted down by the Truth Rank existences until he died.
The Mage Country's generosity was so great that even Rorschach was slightly afraid of it.
A large amount of military technology was given to Vila Nova Dônia in the form of shares.
These technologies would be stored in the brains of the workers and engineers. They would be directly transferred to Vila Nova Dônia along with the second batch of illegal immigrants. This also meant that this city's military industry would be able to leave behind the scattered operations of small factories and directly become a top-level military industry.
This transfer of technology wasn't just a one-time deal. The transfer of technology, knowledge, and experts meant that not only would the local industries be able to build their own factories and production lines, they would also be able to adjust and modify according to local needs, resource distribution, and current industrial conditions. In fact, as technology improved and the Elemental Tide changed, they would be able to develop new military industries.
"How terrifyingly generous. They directly gave us an entire technology tree and industrial system."
The Mage Country was always so generous to their own people. The fact that they didn't refuse this generosity also meant that Vila Nova Dônia was now directly part of the Mage Country's sphere of influence.
Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Rorschach wasn't sure, but when he thought about the upcoming war 10 years later, he felt that it would be best to find a strong backer to latch onto and develop as quickly as possible. He would think about other things after surviving.
Besides, compared to other countries with royal authority, Rorschach rather admired the Mage Country's scholars and free country system. After all, he came from Earth, where everyone was equal. Rorschach felt that it was rather difficult for him to accept the Mage Country's rule of wanting his subjects to die.
He could accept cooperation, capital transactions, deception, and mutual exploitation. However, if someone wanted to be his master … well, maybe in his next life.
This wasn't just one-sided. Even if someone wanted him to be someone else's master, decide someone else's life and death, and casually toy with someone else's dignity, he still wouldn't be able to accept it. At the very least, he would feel quite uncomfortable.
This wasn't hypocrisy or moral cleanliness. It was more of an imbalance in his worldview, values, and outlook on life. If he couldn't accept it, then he couldn't accept it. As a result, Rorschach and the Game Church had always kept royal authority and nobles at a respectful distance. In fact, the Game Church had even been reformed from the very beginning into a company and a stock company.
Although the Game Church still had the name of a church with divine authority, the Game Church's internal structure had long ago been one where employers and employees chose each other. The Game Church's life and death were controlled by superiors and subordinates. From the very beginning, the Game Church no longer had a choice.
"Since I can't like this world, nor can I change this world, then I should at least be able to change the living environment around me."
In the Aishi world, which was a world with universal royal authority, the Mage Country was the one that fit Rorschach's worldview the best.
"There's an old saying that mages have no nationality. In fact, mages don't even have racial distinctions. Yep, I quite like this saying as well."
Sometimes, one's personal preferences could change many things. Rorschach, the "Wood Spirit Prince," ultimately didn't choose the Northlands faction, which was quite close to him. He also didn't choose the Nature Faction (Wood Spirit Faction), which could easily obtain everything he wanted. Instead, he chose the Mage Faction, which depended on one's own abilities.
Due to certain reasons, before Rorschach made his decision, he privately contacted Rosa and expressed his apologies. After all, Rosa had taken too much care of him.
"Is that so? Relax, we understand. You're still my sister-in-law. That's two different things. "
Rosa's calmness doubtlessly made Rorschach feel more at ease. However, he guessed that Rosa had already guessed it … Although it was a bit of a mouthful, that was probably what she meant.
After accepting this gift, the Truth Symposium's archmages became much friendlier towards Rorschach. In fact, some even revealed that they would give Rorschach a position as an outer circle member during the next Truth Symposium's elections.
While Rorschach was feeling quite emotional, he also knew that it was best to enjoy the shade under a large tree. The Mage Country would be in charge of many things in the future, and there would finally be a period of peaceful development. Perhaps the next war would be a battle to the death ten years later.
