-----------
This time, he looked at it wrong. He looked for a loyal and honest prince, but there was not a single ambition inside him.
After choosing an heir, Grant died like this. The evaluation of Grant in later times was controversial. Some people thought that Grant was a successful king, while some people also thought that the good development of the Imperium was abandoned in vain because of Grant's inaction.
What goes around always comes around. The world would be divided over time, this was the law of history. Even the Imperium had not been spared.
Without Sebastian's interference, Lewis succeeded to the throne of the Imperium. He was also dedicated to the job and was very cautious about keeping in mind the last words of Grant.
He didn't dare to make too many moves but over time, various contradictions that the Imperium had leftover from Grant's era were highlighted. Facing these contradictions, Lewis overestimated his ability, as he wanted to finish it in one breath.
One of the contradictions was the resources for technology and research. After all these years, the three colleges had long since ceased to be mere places of academic and technical research, there was only a hierarchy in there. It had become a place for various forces.
The descendants of scientists could easily get in and among civilians, ten out of ten thousand people could get in, even if it was not bad. After a grand celebration ceremony, Lewis decided to take on these Aristocrat Scientists.
First of all, a new academy was built. This move was naturally met with fierce opposition from the people of the three colleges but Lewis agreed internally. Next, various suppression tactics came one after another.
How could the three major colleges not understand by this time? His Majesty was going to attack them. There were many forces in the academy that had enjoyed the benefits of decades. How could they accept this?!
They fiercely opposed on the surface, while secretly, they were preparing for the worst. The study of black powder had been brought up again. Bruno blocked all the information about black powder and the three colleges also disbanded various research groups.
But by this time, no one cared about that anymore because the life of their family was more important. The principle of black powder was not difficult because many schools still had some left. Soon, black powder was re-studied.
Immediately after, it was a matter of mass usage. Under the investment of the three major colleges and various forces, regardless of the cost, the progress of black powder was very rapid. Shortly after the black powder was re-studied, the more powerful and more practical, yellow powder was born.
Gunpowder packs, guns, cannons, and other weapons were all made in succession. Of course, these weapons were also very preliminary at the beginning of manufacturing. It did not yet have the same kind of power as the latter but for the more powerful firearms after it, a solid foundation was laid.
Meanwhile, the secret research and development activities of the three major colleges were finally discovered by Lewis. He made a move that was difficult for everyone to understand, instead of stopping these studies, he let them continue.
On the contrary, after watching the difficult firing of the gun and the blasting of the cannons, in his heart, he firmly believed that these gunpowder weapons were difficult to make a big difference at all. There was also a disdainful smile for the three major colleges and he left it to the three major institutes to study.
During the fifteen years of Lewis's reign, gunpowder was not as practical as bow and arrow. With the increasing technology, the Starfall Iron and Vibranium were added.
At the initial stage of the musket, it was naturally not a match. Lewis also issued some orders in his later years, but this time, he could be said to be somewhat old and weak. These orders made the whole turbulent Imperium even more chaotic, it also laid the groundwork for the chaos in the Imperium later.
After the death of Lewis, the Eldest Prince Fabre succeeded to the throne. That was right, on the choice of successor, Lewis did not listen to Grant's last words but followed his perceptions.
The eldest prince was not only talented but also ambitious and, in addition, very spoiled. He was a big spoiled brat! Plus, in the turbulent environment of the Imperium, the fall of the Imperium was inevitable.
"Is it finally coming? No matter how brilliant the Empire is, it will eventually come to an end." Seeing this, Sebastian let out a sigh.
He still did not interfere, as this was the normal law of the evolution of things. The current Imperium was like a pool of dirty water but there was hope for change.
