Lord Harland.

Chapter 155 The Origin of Magic
Blackboard chalk is a new thing.

The manufacture of the blackboard is very simple. A layer of cement is smeared on the wall, and a little black paint is applied to be a simple blackboard.

The cement Harland territory can already be produced in small quantities.

Black lacquer, although uncommon in Gerda province, is actually quite easy to produce.

Richard found three kinds of lacquer trees in the Eagle Mountains, through which lacquer of black, red and blue can be collected.

The cutting of lacquer trees is prohibited in the territory of Harland, and a lot of natural tree lacquer can be collected every year.

These lacquer trees have been marked out by Li Cha, transplanted and managed together, and a lacquer tree plantation has been established.

The chalk was made by Li Cha himself, instructing the craftsmen to mix gypsum powder and lime powder, and mix it with water.

Church schools do not use blackboards or chalk to teach, but sand tables.

The teacher wrote words on the sand table with wooden sticks, and each student was required to step up to the podium, watch slowly, and then trace on his own sand table to practice continuously.

Using sand tables and wooden sticks to learn characters is a little slower in efficiency.

The invention of small tools such as blackboards and chalks has made teaching a little easier.

There is no papermaking technology in Chenxi Continent, and the literacy rate is no more than one in a thousand. Those who master knowledge are basically members of the aristocracy.

Although the church schools educate some people from the wealthy citizens, the number is very few.

Even if papermaking is invented, there may not be a market for it because few people have knowledge.

The nobles were not short of money, and the quality of early papyrus was not as good as that of parchment.

Moreover, restricting the dissemination of knowledge is an unspoken rule of the aristocracy, and Li Cha was unwilling to challenge this unspoken rule when his strength was weak.

The development of papermaking will only be promoted when a large number of literate people are cultivated in the territory of Harland.

Without cheap paper, let the students use a lot of parchment for study, Li Cha may go bankrupt.

In order to facilitate students to learn characters, they can only use the small blackboard for the time being.

However, this year Li Cha is already preparing to set up a paper-making workshop to produce some experimental paper on a small scale and hand it over to He'an Primary School for use.

The school has just been built, and there are no textbooks for the time being, and teachers need to compile them now.

The compiled textbooks are then transcribed on parchment.

There are only five of these textbooks in each class, and an average of eight or nine people share one textbook. After class, the teacher will put it away and lock it in the cabinet.

Li Cha made a comprehensive calculation, even if the tuition fees are so high, the school will still lose money.

But for the future development of Harland Territory, in order to cultivate talents, we should insist on running the school even if we lose money.

Restricted by the social environment, it is estimated that the territory will not be able to provide compulsory education and free teaching for decades.

However, as more and more talents are trained in the territory, the tuition fee will gradually decrease, benefiting more families
The seven teachers can only teach four main courses now, and there are no teachers for the three sub-courses for the time being, and it may take half a year to start classes.

From this year onwards, River Bank Primary School will be a key project in Harland Territory.

At the beginning of school, Li Cha and Sophia will test the magic aptitude of new students and recruit magic apprentices from the school channel.

As the number of apprentices increases, the magic level of the territory will usher in faster development.

As for the spread of extraordinary power, will the Harland family be overthrown in a few hundred years?

Li Cha doesn't know the members of the Harland family hundreds of years later, and Li Cha doesn't want to care about their fate.

If the descendants have the ability, they can naturally control the territory.

If later generations are waste, then they should also be overthrown.

After the school was completed, Li Cha had a little free time.

In his spare time, Li Cha has been thinking about the essence of meditation.

Li Cha has two meditation books in his hand.

Highland meditation tries to recognize magic as the mysterious changes of the four basic elements of earth, fire, wind, and water under the influence of spiritual power.

It is a standard elemental meditation method.

In addition to the elemental school, the mainstream meditation methods in the Dawn plane also include the soul school, the energy school, the illusion school, the change school, and the summon school.

The starlight meditation method is the meditation method of the astrological school, and this kind of meditation method is very rare in the Dawn plane.

Through the study of Xinghui Meditation, Li Cha's understanding of meditation has become more and more profound.

The Dawn plane is at the very edge of the star world, and the star power of this plane is very weak.

If you want to practice the meditation methods of the Astrology School, you may need to leave the Dawn Plane and enter the middle of the Star Realm.

The astral world is very dangerous. There are not only terrible astral creatures, but also various astral bandits. Unless you become a legend, it is not suitable to explore the astral world.

Through constant thinking, countless questions lingered in Li Cha's mind.

"What is the nature of magic?
Are earth, fire, wind, and water the basic elements?

In what form do they exist?
How do their laws work?
Why do souls exist in this world?

What is the difference between soul and self-awareness?
What is the relationship between soul and spiritual power?
What is the relationship between magic power and spiritual power? "

Li Cha also asked Sophia and Wendy these questions, but unfortunately they were all at a loss and were dumbfounded when Li Cha asked them.

Hearing these questions, the two fell into long-term thinking, and then fell silent for a long time, tears streaming down their faces.

A person who likes magic is born to explore the essence of magic.

Seeking knowledge and exploring is the root of the progress of magic civilization.

Countless great magicians have created different meditation methods and different magics because of their constant pursuit of new knowledge and new explorations.

To learn the spells of the predecessors, no matter how talented you are, you are no more than a spell craftsman.

A good magician should have his own understanding of the nature of the magic world.

Li Cha thought hard, scratched his head and scratched his head countless times, and often had no sleep in the middle of the night.

Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes frowning.

After thinking for a long time, combined with the knowledge he learned in his previous life, Li Cha gradually gained some understanding of magic.

Richard believes that earth, fire, wind, and water are not the basic elements. He believes that the basic elements are still various microscopic particles.

But there are microcosmic magic energy particles in this universe, so unique physics appears.

Because the conditions are immature, this world does not have advanced detection equipment such as electron microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and tunnel scanning microscopes. Li Cha does not know how many kinds of magic energy microscopic particles there are.

There may be one type, there may be countless types.

Different regular changes between magic energy particles and microscopic particles show different magic changes.

The core of various meditation methods is to absorb magic energy particles to promote the advancement of spiritual power.

The reason why this world has a soul may be the quantum entanglement of one or several kinds of magic energy particles.

And special quantum entanglement produces self-awareness.

I don't know if Li Cha's thinking is correct or not?

Due to limited conditions, it is extremely difficult to study microscopic particles.

Moreover, the number of magicians in Harland's territory is very small, and without a lot of inspiration collisions, one's thinking is ultimately formed behind closed doors.

Because he often thinks about the essence of magic, Li Cha has made rapid progress in meditation recently. In just a few months, he has more than half of his experience in meditation on the attribute panel.
