I, transformed into a vampire girl, sparked the Industrial Revolution.

Chapter 396 Institutional Development (2)

No. 48 North Ring Road, "Basil Grandma Restaurant", is a restaurant that has been a favorite of civil servants since the establishment of the Central Administrative District. In this lavishly decorated restaurant, you can taste a variety of classic dishes and policy directions from Amerlane.

"Things have eased up a bit lately, haven't they?"

"That's right, things have loosened up a bit recently... and eased up a bit. Our department held a briefing, and we'll be focusing more on infrastructure development in the future."

A briefing generally refers to an informal, unrecorded internal meeting. Compared to a normal meeting, a briefing, which became popular after the revolution, is not formally recorded and therefore does not cause as many "earthquakes." Now, however, a briefing has become a routine practice for various departments before holding large meetings.

You can usually tell the wind direction from here.

"Worker-oriented automated market economy... How does this work?"

Several civil servants took a bite of a roasted potato dipped in tomato and whispered among themselves. One of them nodded and said, "It's basically a market economy, but digitized. We use a system called Ocas for management. Simply put, the ownership is the same as before, with public ownership as the main form, but small and medium-sized private ownership is allowed."

The civil servants, whispering amongst themselves, came in and out. One of them, a petite figure wearing a coat and a bowler hat, quickly slipped into a private room. Her white figure was quickly obscured by the reflection of the metal cutlery and went unnoticed by the others.

"Alice...senpai?"

"Ah, little Sainz, you've grown up so fast!"

Sainz Caldashya is the daughter of Sainz Wright. She just turned eighteen this year. Sainz Wright married a scientist in an ordinary way and quickly gave birth to a daughter.

It must be said that the children of the two scientists are indeed prodigies. Sainz Caldashia is exceptionally gifted in scientific research. She skipped grades multiple times and graduated from the Department of Physics at the American Union University three years ago. Since then, she has quickly completed her research in theoretical physics.

"Wow, Alice-senpai, it's been a long time!"

Cardashya hugged Alice, the scent of paper on Alice reminding her of something special. She glanced at a middle-aged man in a suit beside her.

Wilder Kololev, who previously worked at Amerlane NASA and served as its director in the post-Alice era, was also a brilliant genius and head of many of Amerlane's space programs.

"Alright, let's eat and chat, we haven't eaten yet."

Alice nodded, and beside her, Little Alice handed Alice the liquid in her hand—if it weren't for Alice's blood thirst caused by working for several days and nights in a row, she would no longer remember that she was a vampire.

The smell of blood grew stronger. Seeing their expressions, Alice said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've been really tired from work lately, so I had to ask the hospital to send some blood plasma..."

Alice barely regained some of her energy after taking a sip of the sweet liquid. Kolov looked at Alice with some restraint.

This is the first time that a powerful scientific research department has been established within a national government. The People's Council for Science of the Union has the power to manage almost all research institutions in the Union and has a considerable say in the allocation of annual budgets for each department. However, it is still somewhat difficult for these scientists and engineers to engage in administrative work.

"The main purpose of our meal and conversation today is to discuss the Alliance's space program. In the next five to ten years, while restoring productivity at Amelansi, we need to quickly and efficiently enter the space age."

Alice's request was not unfounded—America is one of the countries with the most advanced space technology in the world, and has been conducting space research since Alice founded NASA ten years ago.

Such a clear statement still surprised the two of them, because the situation after the revolution was indeed quite difficult. Although Alice's visits to various countries and the establishment of the proletarian economic circle had given Amelia a real boost, the country had not yet fully recovered from the turmoil.

The two looked at Alice, whose eyes held a hint of seriousness.

"Amelansi needs a fleet, a fleet capable of conducting space operations, within ten years."

Alice didn't tell them why; she drank the last drop of blood from the cup.

"The Alliance will fully support your research and construction, please."

After leaving "Grandma Basil," Alice did not return to her office. Instead, she boarded the "Alice" and headed south. Compared to the north, which had risen from industrial civilization, the south had a stronger magical atmosphere. Before the Amelansi Revolution, the south, which was known as the "Demon Empire," had a large number of magicians who fought against humans. After the revolution, many magic academies in the south were transformed into universities.

Currently, the major southern regions are also production areas for magical artifacts.

The study of magic is now very detailed. In fact, there is no such thing as "magic" in this world. This power originates from another dimension. For this world, this ethereal subdimensional power is a dangerous existence that will distort the objects, existence, and concepts of this world.

Amelansi should have become a chaotic and barren land, like one of the few dangerous locations. However, the legacy left by humans ten thousand years ago allows this dangerous power to be analyzed and transformed. The "Inscription" system is stored within this planet, whose core is a planetary-level computer. For ten thousand years, it is this core that has protected the life on this planet, allowing it to develop normally until today.

Amidst the towering skyscrapers, magicians clad in robes and carrying cell phones, riding their staffs, have become a common sight in Kana City. This coastal tourist metropolis boasts 21 specialized magic academies, 4 magic universities, and 12 comprehensive universities that include magic colleges. It is the city with the most graduates of Bachelor of Magic degrees in Amelancy, hence its nickname "City of Magic."

In the past, magic was an ethereal subject that relied heavily on experience. Students in school usually learned how to control magic based on the experience of their predecessors, and the subject was mainly categorized as applied magic.

But now, as research into magic deepens, people are beginning to realize that magic is actually a language that can be calculated mathematically.

Nowadays, magic is divided into two major disciplines: magic theory and magic application. It emphasizes mathematics, and required courses include computer programming languages, advanced mathematics, magic theory, magic language programming, and basic magic device theory.

It can be said that, based on a scientific perspective, "magic" is becoming less and less like the so-called "magic" and more like a science. The first sentence that magic mentors teach their students in class has also become "magic is a natural science".

But what most people don't know is that "magic" will become the key to humanity's revival and the key to ending humanity's enemies.
