Chapter 1271 375: The Saplings of Science Are Thriving (Part 4)

"Indeed," Hard calmed down as well, immersed in thought, "I also think the term 'standard-sized room' is too vague. We should further consider... Quantitatively considering the room dimensions and magic power consumption ratio, and then extending this experiential ratio to mazes, castles, and open spaces, while also taking weather, wind speed, and other factors into consideration."

This sentence almost instantly enlightened Bain, who suddenly remembered a phrase that Master Colin mentioned in class before—

"Not all important things can be calculated, but measurable data can follow a certain pattern on a specific scale."

Although he couldn't fully grasp the meaning of this sentence in class at the time, now he felt a sense of realization!

This feeling was similar to yesterday when he caught a glimpse of the flickering glow of magic fire on the training field, opening a window in his mind!

He extended Prince Colin's perspective further—

"There must be a formula for this, just like the function formula that Prince Colin taught us!"

Bain looked at Hard with bright eyes, seeing those equally brightening eyes, continuing with absolute certainty.

"We just need to conduct numerous experiments, record every piece of data, and we will definitely find this formula!"

"Afterwards, it's about how to fill it with magic!"

...

While Bain and Hard were eagerly preparing for their new project, the "Elders" who had joined Colin's laboratory under his banner two months ago were curiously observing the new colleagues.

"Lam, look over there," Jamie said cautiously assembling the components in his hand, gesturing towards the door with his mouth, "Here come a few new faces... I feel like we barely know half of the people in the laboratory anymore."

Lam raised her head from a heap of intricate brass components, followed his gaze, with a rosy face adorned with a comforting smile.

"Yes, our laboratory is becoming more lively."

Her words were filled with joy for this increasingly thriving family, stemming from genuine happiness.

Though some apprentices might think new members would divert opportunities from their hands, Lam did not see things this way.

Firstly, Prince Colin did not strictly enforce what they must research, nor did he assign tasks like other professors, instead encouraging them to research subjects they are interested in or proficient at, hence the notion of opportunities being taken doesn't exist.

The more people there are, the more ideas will emerge, and as the Magic Science Laboratory grows, rather than losing opportunities, they actually have more than before.

Rather than competing against each other, fighting over food at the same trough, or vying for favor in front of the Master, Master Colin clearly prefers mutual collaboration, and he even promotes collaboration among them.

Furthermore, the funding for the Magic Science Laboratory is very sufficient. Master Colin expressed multiple times not to worry about money, even if someday the Academic State is unwilling to provide funds, he would use his own purse to satisfy their thirst for knowledge and exploration.

Lam had no doubt that the prince is a truly noble person, far superior to those professors and sages who treat apprentices like servants.

He should truly be the real sage!

Incidentally, ever since the paper from the Colin Tower was published, Master Colin's reputation rose to the deserved heights, just as she anticipated.

Consequently, the status of the "Magic Science Laboratory" in the Tower of Great Sage also rose, attracting numerous mages from distant Mage Towers.

In the past month, Master Colin has successively recruited many exceptionally potential apprentices and promising assistants.

To manage this increasingly large team, the gentleman recently announced a brand-new organizational structure for the laboratory.

He divided the entire laboratory into two major departments, one focused on theoretical research known as the "Basic Department", and the other focused on applied technology development known as the "Applied Department".

Under these two major departments, based on the four foundational categories of "mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology", he subdivided into eight core research groups.

All apprentices were assigned to their respective proficient groups to conduct project management and independent budget approval as a unit.

Although Lam did not understand the uniqueness of this management model, according to Mr. Keji, this seemed to be a novel approach in the Academic State.

Rarely do professors adopt this kind of management model, as most laboratories are dedicated to specialized research projects, unlike the Magic Science Laboratory which seems to be "blooming everywhere".

Assistant Keji also subtly suggested that this seems less like the establishment of a laboratory and more like the establishment of a new academic discipline.

However, Lam did not think this far.

Instead of perceiving the prince with a worldly perspective, she was more willing to view him as a "true sage".

Looking at the organized chaos of apprentices not far away, Jamie couldn't help but exclaim, "Now I finally understand why the Master designed that new management model, he already planned to recruit so many people."

After a pause, he couldn't help but praise.

"But then again, thanks to the design of this model, despite having so many people, none of us are disordered, everyone has their own affairs."
