Struggle in the Steam Age

　　 Early the next morning, Lawrence wore his newly bought gown and Seifer, who also wore a royal blue dress, rode a carriage specially sent by the Federal Science Association to the place where the society was.

　　 Today, Lawrence will be officially granted membership of the Federal Science Association here.

　　The Federal Science Association was established by the signing of a document by the third chief of the White Eagle Federation. At that time, the Federation had stabilized, and at least the monsters near the large-scale human settlements were successfully killed or expelled. In addition, the relationship between the Federation and other countries has also eased.

　　 In this case, the entire national core turned to construction. At the same time, in that era, science upgraded from an extraordinary subsidiary status to a systematic and independent force with the support of the extraordinary, and entered the fast lane of development.

　　Except for traditional astronomy, medicine, architecture, mathematics and other subjects. More modern physics, chemistry, optics, mechanics and other new disciplines have also been established one after another.

　　 So in order to avoid being thrown too far by the countries of the Old Continent, at that time the chief of the White Eagle Federation and the Continental Congress unified their opinions. A batch of wealth was specially allocated from the already insufficient treasury for federal research in this area. This is the earliest source of the Federal Science Association.

　　 Since then, scholars of the White Eagle Federation can finally have their own exchange institutions. At the same time, with the support of the Federation, scholars can also conduct a series of scientific research activities similar to human anatomy and mechanical research that are difficult for individuals to carry out. Greatly promoted the advancement of science and technology in the Federation and the entire New World.

　　Behind the association is the Federation and various churches, so its location is not far from the Rose Palace where the federal leader is, and even the two buildings are on the same flower avenue. In addition, it is not far from important institutions such as the Parliament Building, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Executive Yuan.

　　The building where the association is located is composed of three three-storey small buildings connected together. The red brick wall, the white stone border and the dark blue roof give the whole building a special sense of elegance.

　　 The three buildings form a semi-enclosed structure, with the open side facing the street. In order to symbolize the openness and tolerance of science, there is no railing or wall separating the inside and outside of this building.

　　 After getting off the car, Lawrence and the others saw an exquisite fountain on the small square in the society building, and the center of the fountain was a stone monument. The purpose of the Federal Science Association is inlaid with bronze above:

"The Federal Science Association is a private non-profit organization composed of well-known scholars. It is obliged to provide independent and objective advice to the state or other organizations on issues related to science and technology. It is committed to promoting the dissemination of science in the Federation and the civilized world. At the same time, every member of the association must make a positive contribution to the world scientific community." Lawrence whispered the Radenim motto on the stone tablet.

　　 "This stone tablet was set by various churches, the federal government, and scientists together." Just as Lawrence's voice fell, a young man in a tuxedo walked out of the building and said. "At the beginning, everyone was arguing about what to carve here. Finally, the first president of the association suggested that the purpose of the association should be written at the entrance to show the independence of the association. The controversy was finally settled."

　　 "By the way, introduce yourself, I am a staff member here. Are you a member who came to the association for official registration today?"

"Yes, I am." Lawrence nodded. He is not surprised why the staff can recognize himself. After all, there are not many people in this place, and strangers in formal dresses can guess without thinking. What is it for? "This is Lawrence August."

　　 As he handed out the invitation letter he had received before, the staff member looked at it and immediately made a request to tell Lawrence and the others to follow him. Lawrence touched the brim of his hat to salute, and then followed him to the building facing the fountain.

　　 Across the beautifully carved bronze gate, Lawrence and the others appeared in the entrance hall. Priest Carter had arrived here earlier, and he would take Lawrence to a special room for preparations, while Syfiel followed the staff to the hall where the ceremony was held for a while.

　　 "There is no need to be nervous." Priest Carter comforted as he watched Lawrence's expression of nervousness. "This is just a more formal fan association. It's just that everyone in the association loves science. Generally, when there is nothing to do, it will meet a few times a year, eat and eat, and then publish a few journals. it's not a big deal."

"Of course, the members also have their own circles to hold small gatherings in private to discuss their own research results. Moreover, the proportion of extraordinary people among the members of the Science Association is more than 60%, and there are even legendary wizards in it. You can find many people who have a common language with you here."

　　 At this point, Priest Carter looked at the surrounding staff and leaned closer to Lawrence and whispered. "Not to mention that the people who join this association are people who have contributed to the Federation and even the entire civilized world, so the association will give each full member an annuity of 1,000 yuan a year."

"1000 yuan!" Lawrence was shocked when he heard the news. The money is equivalent to the annual income of a doctor or lawyer. No wonder it is so difficult to become a member of the association. There are generally only one or two people.

　　 Fortunately, everything that Lawrence did before directed the direction of microbes from the perspective of the scientific field. At the same time, the development of disinfection theory and the invention of various pesticides saved countless lives and properties and caused a huge sensation. Whether it is the Federation, various churches and scholars have recognized his research and benefited from his research. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This is why Lawrence became the youngest member of the Federal Science Association since its establishment at the age of 20.

　　 After simply tidying up his appearance in a small room, Lawrence entered the conference hall. Today’s ceremony was presided over by the respected President of Far Harbor University Henry Johnson. Participants also included some members of the society in the SAR, members of parliament and the deputy commander of the White Eagle Federation.

Every member who can appear here has made a huge contribution. For example, Mr. Russo, who was a consultant in the federal government, as a hero-level mage discovered a densely planted plane and sorted it from it. Many herbs that can cure various diseases have been published and many lives have been saved.

　　 Another example is Principal Johnson, who has successfully improved a series of machinery including steam engines. It has made great contributions to the progress of industry.

　　 Therefore, when facing these real big coffee, Lawrence, who knows his own family affairs, is very humble. In his regular speech, he quoted some of Newton's words to say that he was just standing on the shoulders of giants. Without the help of others and a little luck, he would not be able to achieve what he is now.

　　 At the same time, he also expressed to the big coffees present that he was just a child standing on the sea of ​​science and collecting a few beautiful shells. In the future, we still have to work harder to learn from your predecessors.

　　 Obviously, the scholars present appreciate Lawrence's low profile. They thought that young people like him would be proud and defiant when they achieved such an achievement. But now it seems that Lawrence is a very humble young man, and also respects these predecessors.

　　 In short, Lawrence’s first appearance gave everyone a good impression, and it was a victory and success.
