At noon the next day, Joseph and Marquis Leesar discussed the expansion plans for the Brest Naval University.
This was a school focused on teaching ship design and construction, as well as nautical astronomy, rather than a military academy.
However, France's largest university specializing in ships currently only admits 130 students each year—covering 15 disciplines.
Joseph intended to double the size of the school. Especially now that ships had begun using steam engines, the demand for skilled technicians was increasing daily, and training talent must keep pace.
"We can hire some older technicians from the United Steam Engine Company to serve as professors…"
As Joseph was speaking, Eman hurriedly walked over, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Trivix has arrived at the shipyard. He's also brought two steam engines with him."
Joseph nodded, "Please have him wait for me in the main design room."
"Yes, Your Highness."
