Arcane Lord

"Since you are confident, then I will tell you about the independent project."

Tutu tried to calm down and then introduced to Sha Duo, "The college provides free financial aid to students who have completed professional courses but have not chosen to graduate immediately. This is the origin of the independent project."

Theoretically, college students can apply for graduation immediately after completing professional courses. However, considering that such graduates will still have a long internship period even if they go to a research institution, it is better for them to learn it at school instead of letting them figure it out after working. them.

This is also a good strategy to improve the competitiveness of graduates and enhance the reputation of the school.

Since the implementation of this policy, almost every student of Chixin University will stay in school for fifteen years at the professional level. Of course, the time spent on independent projects will vary depending on the overall situation of each class.

However, no class has ever been able to apply for an independent project in the third year. Individual members of the class may be able to complete professional courses by themselves very early, but it is impossible for all members to complete it at the same time.

In other words, if you want to apply for an independent project, it can only be done by individual students who have completed professional courses, and it is difficult to use the help of classmates.

After all, the difficulty of independent projects is roughly based on the standard of a graduate-level team. Other students have different progress and cannot be of much help at all. And the most important thing is——

The college will also consider this and approve as few such projects as possible from the outset.

The Red Heart Alliance attaches great importance to the collective. Collectivism permeates almost every aspect of the alliance's life. Applying for independent projects provided by the college alone is somewhat suspected of being separated from the collective.

However, Xia Duo has also considered these things. Most of the projects he wants to do are related to the construction of territory in the main plane, and his current classmates are fully capable of participating.

Moreover, he also wants to combine the project with the overall teaching progress of the current class. After completing the study, he can use "practical practice" to consolidate it. At the same time, he can also get research sequence points. Maybe he can become a full-time researcher when he graduates!

After listening to Xia Duo's thoughts, Tutu Tutu would not pour cold water on him, but he also gave Xia Duo psychological precautions in advance, "The college has limited funds and is very strict in the review of independent projects. Generally, it will only be provided to senior students. You You have to understand this first.”

"I understand. I have asked Sister Luna about all this. I am just worried that the college will deliberately block our application because we are still in the lower grades?"

"The college does not have clear regulations that lower grades cannot apply for independent projects. I have also done the college's independent project approval work, but the college also has college requirements. First of all, it must be innovative and reflect the value of the project. Secondly, it cannot be too general. Purely theoretical research should best be carried out in line with real-life problems so that all participants can make progress in the project.”

"Isn't there a clearer standard?" Xia Duo asked.

"Unfortunately - no! But you don't have to worry too much. As long as the independent project you apply for for the first time is not too outrageous, it will probably be passed."

Instructor Tutu comforted him a few words, and then reminded Xia Duo, "If the evaluation of the project is not high when it is completed by the college, it will be more troublesome to apply next time. You must be clear about this. This is not only related to yourself, but also to you." It’s about all the students in Class 4.”

"I understand. I'm just thinking about it now. No matter what decision I make, I will discuss it with other students. If they don't agree, the most I can do is use my own resources to do some small projects in my spare time."

This is also Xia Duo's real idea. If you can't get the funds of the academy, then you can use your own patent income. At present, the Red Heart Alliance has not completely abolished the existence of currency. In addition to research sequence points, patent income is also the corresponding credit currency. Income, and it’s not a small amount.

Of course, it would be better if the Red Heart Alliance has no currency, which means that the alliance has reached a level of highly developed productivity and resources. In this case, applying for project funds does not have to be so troublesome. Basically, as long as it is valuable and meaningful, there is a high probability that They can all pass, and he can even directly allocate public resources for research.

I really don’t know how long it will take for the Red Heart Alliance to develop to that level!

…

During this meeting, Xia Duo and Tutuo had a long conversation. In addition to asking about some tips, experiences and precautions for applying for projects, he also told Tutuo his ideas about independent projects.

It is some research on the mystery lock of material nodes. Although it is a bit unconventional in the Red Heart Alliance, it is not completely unsearched. On the contrary, it is a good entry-level research project.

But if placed on the main plane, the Mystery Lock with material nodes is more suitable for moving targets like the floating city.

Speaking of which, Xia Duo can completely recreate the floating city in the Red Heart Alliance. In this way, there may be a wave of research on material node mystery locks. If he can get more people to study together, it will be more efficient than if he can only ask his classmates to do research. .

This is somewhat similar to the 1393 Antico instructors who allowed their students to use native myth lock strategies in the league-wide myth lock offensive and defensive games. With the assistance of Lingsi Network, they suddenly became the highlight of the competition.

Afterwards, Xia Duo also communicated with Antico's tutor, who mentioned that the school's research funding for him had increased. At the same time, his personal laboratory also attracted colleagues from two off-campus research institutions to join, and the future development was promising.

Now, Xia Duo is researching the Mystery Lock of Material Nodes, and he might also take this shortcut, but he is not sure whether the floating city can interest the elves of the Red Heart Alliance.

Among the ancient elves, only Maiyeli Tower once built a floating fortress, but it could not fly for a long time. In modern times, the Red Heart Alliance has the ability to build floating buildings, and even many cities have floating gardens.

It's just that most of those floating buildings rely on the support of local fixed myth locks, or they can move freely within the coverage of the alliance's myth locks, but that doesn't work when they reach the outside world.

The current external environment of the Red Heart Alliance may not require a floating city that can move freely in the outside world, but it definitely needs a floating fortress.

If you do not consider the city, but only consider the direction of the fortress, this may be more acceptable to the alliance.

…

During the exchange with Tutuo, he quickly improved his ideas and plans. He planned to start a puzzle design project first, and he planned to make a puzzle with material nodes.

It's best if you can get funding from the college. It doesn't matter if you can't get it yourself. Anyway, you have to get this thing out in the open first.

After that, the floating fortress can be built. At this point, Xia Duo is more confident that the academy will approve this project, and he can also mobilize some resources that he would have difficulty mobilizing under normal circumstances through this project.

For example, he only found a relatively primitive version of the independent arcane fire design used in the Mystery Lock in the library, which was completely different from what they could use now. It was not only inefficient but also had poor compatibility.

This one obviously has new technology. At that time, the latest and detailed technical details will not be available there, so you can use the finished product that is not the latest but is relatively new first.

Of course, the finished product here is not a physical object, but an encrypted mystery lock component, which can be directly separated from the alliance mystery lock and used in other mystery locks under construction.

This seemingly incredible operation has become very common in the Red Heart Alliance.

As long as he gets the independent arcane fire components of Mysuo, even if they are encrypted, the final floating fortress will probably become his private property, and then he can study it at will.

After all, it is just an experimental project that is closer to verification, and there will be no restricted weapons or technologies at all. According to the past independent projects of the academy, there is a high probability that it will belong to the initiator of the project - that is, Class 4.

In the hands of Class 4, it is no different than in his hands. At most, they are applying for a project related to arcane fire components, and they can even continue to use the college's funds.

Of course, Xia Duo still needs to discuss the specific operation with Tutuo.
