I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Turbine blades are generally made of single crystal high-temperature resistant materials, and combustion chambers and tail nozzles are generally made of flame-retardant titanium alloys. As the performance requirements for fighter jets increase, the thrust of turbofan engines must also be increased.

The factors that increase engine thrust are nothing more than increasing the temperature in front of the turbine and increasing the bypass ratio. Generally speaking, for every 100°C increase in the temperature in front of the turbine, the engine thrust will increase by 20%-25%, and the thermal efficiency will increase by 8%.

Jet fighters are very dependent on the iteration of material technology. It is also a prerequisite basic field in the aviation field, and breakthroughs in alloy materials are particularly important.

High temperature alloys, ultra-high strength steels, intermetallic compounds, ceramic matrix composites, carbon/carbon composites, resin matrix composites.

The manufacture of these materials involves breakthroughs in more manufacturing fields, such as powder alloy dispersion, vacuum melting, etc.

Almost all disciplines in science and engineering except quantum mechanics and nuclear industry are used. All disciplines in classical physics are included in its scope. The difficulty of the final product produced by the interaction of two hundred disciplines can be imagined.

Taking the twin-engine jet fighter that the alliance is currently testing as an example, its technical level is close to that of the quasi-third-generation aircraft in the previous life. Although the application of radar and missiles is still not satisfactory, the basic foundation is very good. After subsequent upgrades and improvements, it can reach the standard of a third-generation aircraft.

The turbofan engine it uses is the first generation of military high-thrust engines, with more than 20 stages, including 5 stages of fans, 12 stages of high-pressure compressors, and 2 stages each of low-pressure and high-pressure turbines.

The low-pressure compressor is completely replaced by a fan, and the fan in the outer duct will blow air directly to the rear to provide power, with higher thrust and higher energy utilization.

It can be said that the appearance and aerodynamic design of the Alliance's new fighter jets have little reference value to the current fighter jet designs of the Goblins. The Goblins' focus should be on how to build usable jet fighters.

The second-generation single-engine front-end air intake aerial ice cream cone can still fly at a speed of more than Mach 2, instead of researching more advanced future fighter jets like the Alliance.

It’s just that the goblins have not yet deeply felt the impact of the lack of basic science. Taking too big a step will really lead to bad results.

Ignoring the unpleasant experience before, the students of the Holy Magic Academy of Elno and the Royal Academy of the Wallis Empire took a direct train to the capital of the Alliance, Sera.

This stop they chose was the headquarters academy of the Church of Holy Light. No matter what, your church's school can't be so "industrialized", right?

Compared to the state of Silvia, which is positioned as a secondary capital and specializes in producing talents in science, Serra's colleges are more comprehensive. Top-notch universities in the four fields of liberal arts, science, education and law are located in various parts of the capital, each forming a university town residential area in a region.

The alliance’s university system is divided into only three levels: second-rate, first-rate, and super first-rate.

Super first-class is a special award only given to a super school, such as the product of a reorganization of a former alliance country department or a special plan, which results in its professional field having a huge advantage in leading or even surpassing the world level.

For example, Kesh Aeronautical University in Kesh State is a top-notch institution that specializes in providing talents for various aircraft manufacturers and has its own unique accumulation of technical information in the field of aerospace.

The largest private passenger aircraft manufacturer in the alliance is located in Kesh State. It has relied on this college to gradually suppress other competitors and become the leader in the industry.

However, generally speaking, mainstream universities are mainly second-rate and first-rate. The first-rate are state universities in each state, which are built by each state at its own expense.

There are the largest number of second-rate universities, with no obvious gap between good and bad ones.

In a sense, the university system in the Seres Union is very competitive.

Because the scale of top universities is suppressed to a certain extent, there are clear restrictions on the number of super first-class and first-class universities to be established, and the limited number of admissions each year will cause overflow, just like a bottle full of water leaking out and flowing along the body of the bottle to the first- and second-class institutions.

Only second-rate universities can apply to establish new schools if there is local demand, while private institutions are not allowed to be established. As a result, the technical level and foundation of the colleges below are not weak, and each has its own strong disciplines.

The league does lack talent, but the demand will be saturated sooner or later. Even if there is a shortage, it cannot expand recruitment on a large scale and disrupt the existing system.

The limit on the number of top-notch and first-class universities can always maintain their advantages. The small number of graduates in the same class will not lead to malicious competition, and the value of academic qualifications is relatively stable.

However, as second-rate universities are the top choice for most ordinary people, there is no difference in advantages and disadvantages between them, and they will not receive obvious different treatment in employment.

Chapter 353: Santia University

【Sentia University】

The landmark building in the western district of the capital has walls made entirely of red bricks with a white base. For the shaping of doors, windows and wall lines, the neatly-sized rectangular bricks are ground into elongated fan and cylindrical shapes. The building's exterior is majestic and tall, but its shape is rich, elegant and delicate, with a very church-like atmosphere.

The most eye-catching is the Santia University Auditorium, which is set off by many exquisite small buildings. Its area is not much less than that of the main teaching building. The large organ built at a great cost inside is integrated with the entire building, echoing the headquarters of the Holy Light Cathedral in the eastern capital.

When the delegations from the two colleges stood at the arched gate of the church university under the escort of the alliance school bus, they couldn't help but feel a strange yet familiar feeling in their hearts.

In terms of style, the Church of Holy Light is actually very similar to other churches on the mainland, except for some slight differences in the aesthetic appearance of the buildings. After all, the onion head and the like are really eye-catching.

There are familiar points, but there are more unfamiliar places, such as... There are two security booths at the gate of Santia University. The difference from other schools is that other schools have guards, but the security booths of Santia University are guarded by uniformed sentries.

The instructor from Santia University, who was wearing traditional nun clothes, got out of the car and walked in front of everyone. She smiled gently and said, "We are very happy that the two colleges have chosen us as the first exchange school in the capital region."

"Sentia University, as the name suggests, I believe you all understand the meaning of this name. We are one of the only two universities in the entire alliance that has a military armed organization. The other one is the Alliance National Defense Central University."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Was this what they understood?

"Go forward!"

"one two three four!"

'Tick, tick, tick...'

Looking inside from the school gate, a row of girls in black and white military uniforms marched past everyone in neat steps, holding guns.

The neat stomping of feet sounded like the breath of the earth. The melody created by each step was heavy and firm. The pale cross emblem was like a huge wave in a strong wind, surging forward and unstoppable. Just the sound showed its immense majesty and power.

Although there were only more than fifty people, the power they displayed was countless times stronger than the regular armies of various countries they had seen before. The most important thing was that these girls looked very young, most of them were around ten years old.

"Gulu..."

Someone swallowed and there was a commotion among the student group. Many younger female magicians couldn't help but shrink behind the male classmates and whisper.

"They seem to be holding magic devices, the elemental fluctuations are so strong! Are you... are you kidding me..."

"Isn't this a church school? Did the instructor take us to the wrong place?"

"Oh, oh, oh, I feel like these sisters can kill me with one punch."

Seeing this, the nun instructor of Saint Tia University hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, we are indeed a church school. The Holy Light Church is a peace-loving, unarmed, neutral organization. To this day, there are more than 20 church nuns on the main continent who are treating ordinary people affected by the war."

"It's just that... our Saintia University, um... is a little special~"

The church has no armed forces, and the Alliance does not allow the church to have armed forces. In addition to maintaining the spiritual comfort of local residents on a daily basis, the main responsibility of the Church of Holy Light is to provide a large number of clergy healers for the Alliance.

But the church has no armed forces, but Saint Tia University does.

Not only does it have combat effectiveness, it is also at the level of the first-line elite combat troops among the alliance's regular forces, the first-line among the first-line echelons.

Medea and Mi Wei had both witnessed the extent of destructive power an uncontrollable church could cause. Even if the church was physically destroyed, spiritual pollution would still remain to disgust you.

Therefore, after the Church of Holy Light became established, strict restrictions were placed on its armaments. Not to mention the Inquisition, there was not even a disciplinary agency to maintain the daily operation of the church.

In order to cater to such changes, the church can only relax its control over lower-level clergy. After all, strict control is impossible without strong supervisory and disciplinary forces, so it is better to simply ignore it.

Therefore, the Church of Holy Light does not restrict the marriage and funerals of nuns and priests. As long as these traditional customs do not violate church rules, they will not affect promotion.

However, this rotten management style has made the Church of Holy Light burst out with vitality far exceeding that of other traditional sects, and the number of people with pure faith is extremely large.

In fact, the reason is quite simple. The more something is forbidden, the more people want to try it. There is a sense of pleasure in breaking taboos.

But the Church of Holy Light has no limits, which makes the fun of sneaking around disappear... and allows people to look at the development of things more calmly. But this also gives rise to an unavoidable problem, which is how to deal with fanatics?

Any church will inevitably produce a group of fanatics, it’s just a matter of number, and among them, young people are more likely to enter this inexplicable realm of thought.

In the past, the Inquisition had gathered the Fanatic Alliance, but there was no such thing. So Medea simply militarized this group of special personnel and formed a very flexible special division, code-named the Inquisitor.

However, this power cannot be controlled by the church, so after weighing the pros and cons, it was placed within the university. The education industry is Media's absolute home ground.

It just so happened that the special Holy Light Military System that Mi Wei had developed also needed a successor, and the Scientific Research Department also needed a professional force to use the weapons and equipment they had originally developed based on Mi Wei's needs.

The integration of multiple parties eventually gave birth to this armed force of church fanatics that was independent of the church. The headquarters of the force is located at Saintia University and it is an armed organization under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Unlike the Red Cross of the Holy Light Church, the military emblem used is a white cross with sharp corners, and the armaments used all use the Holy Light system and the power of faith as energy output.

It possesses destructive power far exceeding similar equipment and super self-healing ability, as well as the fanatics' outrageous divine arts such as divine descent, blessing, curse, group resonance, etc., which are exclusive to the pantheon.

Especially in the Alliance, where each church branch is the base of the Median pantheon, it is a wireless power transmission center. Not only will the Inquisitor not be affected by elemental suppression, but he can also exert 300% of his combat effectiveness.

After all, Mi Wei was able to receive the energy from Medea's magic at a very long distance on the main continent and blow out her opponent's kidneys with one shot, so they can do the same.

Fanatical pure girls, rigorous military training, omnipresent faith power, systematic prayer amplification, and professional magic weapons. Even the demigods of the armed forces would shake their heads when they see this, not to mention this group of students...

Looking at the irresistibly gentle smile of the tutor from Saintia University, the two colleges had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the other's lead into the campus for a [friendly exchange].

If we only talk about combat effectiveness, the level of a single soldier at the Alliance National Defense University cannot break through the boundary between a single person and a high-level magician. However, as a cradle for training command officers, they have an advantage if they have a slightly larger number of people.

But Santia University is an outlier among them. Whether fighting alone or in a group, they are the ceiling of the alliance. They are not afraid of getting hurt or even dying, and they are proud of devoting themselves to their beliefs.

80% of the students at Santia University are good girls. After leaving school, they will be auxiliary medical personnel in the alliance’s civilian hospitals, churches and military systems. They are the embodiment of lovely angels.

But there are still about 20% of the students who are fanatics gathered from all over the place, each with their own ideological paranoia. They are placed in the same unit to receive guidance and training to prevent them from going astray in the end.

I can only say that sometimes luck is so mysterious. Last time it was a mama's girl, and this time it was a battle maniac. Others may not encounter a strange thing once in their lifetime, but these two colleges have encountered it twice~

Chapter 354 'What to do? Do it in a big way.'

When everyone passed through the gate of Saintia University, they found that they had not arrived at the college playground that was so close in front of them. Instead, their eyes blurred and they saw a group of fully armed teams standing in front of them, staring at them hungrily.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a normal mirror deflection magic~ Wait a moment."

Claudia Simmons, the Saintia mentor who diverted them, gently calmed the two groups of guests who were a little agitated by the scene, and handed the nameplate on her chest to the guard.

The team leader wearing a fully enclosed fly cap took the nameplate, glanced at it, and then handed it to the iron palm that was stretched out beside him without turning his head.

The heavy armored mecha warrior attached the nameplate to the inside of his arm. After a while, a female voice came from the mecha: "Verification passed. Welcome to Saintia University. Have a pleasant journey."

After saying this, it retracted the five-barrel Vulcan cannon on its shoulder that was rotating slowly and silently back to its back, causing the students from the academy who had been stiff to breathe a sigh of relief. With cold sweat on their heads, they quickly walked around the team guarding the door, especially the two burly mecha warriors.

Only after they were some distance away did they begin to complain in low voices.

"No, he must be sick! He pointed such a dangerous thing at us! He has no sincerity in welcoming guests."

"That is, what if it goes off accidentally?"

'What should we do? Do it in a big way.'

They are not completely ignorant. After the alliance dominated the battlefield, they were able to learn some general battlefield data of most weapons through their families.

Like the multi-barreled Vulcan cannon in front of them just now, the Alliance uses it to attack mechas and tanks, counter fortifications, and even attack Saint-level strongmen. Who knows if it will be used to hit them in the face one day.

Based on the data they guessed at the power, it was estimated that if this thing opened fire for two seconds they would all be scattered all over the place.

Claudia said apologetically, "I'm very sorry to have frightened you all. Santia has gathered the most scarce medical talents in the alliance. They are generally weak, so the guarding is quite strict..."

Several tutors from the Royal Academy looked at each other and said nothing more.

In fact, although this scene was a bit surprising, they quickly accepted it.

After all...if the academy really has a regular armed force as the other party said, then the garrison force will definitely be more than sufficient, and any situation is possible.

But they didn't expect that even the most basic squad firepower configuration would be so... insane~

After passing through the guard line, they finally entered the academy. They got on the long-awaited school bus and, led by Claudia, they toured the academy.

The design style is actually the same as what they saw outside the school, there is not much difference. The only difference may be... the area is too large.

Also, the atmosphere among the students there seems a bit lazy.
