Near the Royal Tombs Mountains.

Inside a huge auditorium, the night was full of lights. All the top brass and most of the scientists of the Astra Militarum were present.

Today was the time for the Greater Terra Awards, and the auditorium was full of people. Thousands of scientists from various fields had arrived and were looking forward to the awarding of the Greater Terra Award, the highest honor awarded to the Imperium's scientists.

Unlike the Nobel Prize in the previous world, the Greater Terra Award had only one recipient per year and no specific categories such as physics, chemistry, or biology.

The team judging the award consisted of a highly respected panel of doctorates, all of whom were previous winners of the Greater Terra Award. Elizabeth was also among them. Only with their approval could a research invention be considered the most significant of the year.

In the past few years, the current discovery marked the official arrival of the age of electricity. Many new inventions were appearing frequently, making the competition for this award more intense.

Another point of note: after receiving the Greater Terra Award, one would automatically be promoted to a doctorate. The doctorate was the highest title within the Astra Militarum. There were thousands of "scientists" and "doctors," but far fewer were awarded doctorates.

To obtain the title of "Doctorate," there were three main conditions:

To receive the Greater Terra Award, which would automatically promote the recipient.To create a major research invention, which would be evaluated by Elizabeth herself.To make significant contributions to the Glory War.

The third method was the primary route to promotion. Currently, only a few dozen doctorates remain, most of whom were promoted through the third method. The competition for this year's Greater Terra Award was particularly fierce.

Finally, the winner was a middle-aged scientist who invented the "telegraph." He successfully used the "on," "off," and "long and short" of electric current to replace spoken words for transmission.

The invention of the telegraph marked the opening of the telecommunications era, creating a historical precedent for the use of electricity to transmit information. Its significance warranted the award.

The scientists present were envious. Most had concentrated on their research, and while there might not have been as great demand for other aspects, the Greater Terra Award felt like a dream come true.

"William, look at them. You'd better change your career and help with our steamship team. Don't focus on your impossible ideas," Said a young and handsome scientist seated below. His tone was quite sarcastic as he addressed William, who looked a little lonely.

This circle of scientists had internal competition; the two had once been classmates. But now, the young and handsome scientist was part of the promising research team for a new ship, leading to a bright future for him.
