Chapter 265 sparked controversy December 15th.
The Academy of Magic, the common classrooms of the Academy, the circular staircase hall.
This is where the first class of the "Magic Machines Class" begins.
Although Chen Daolin's authorization for the "Magic Machine" class was strongly opposed when it was approved by the committee, the process was very difficult, and it was almost forcibly passed by Carmen's own strength and absolute prestige.
But in fact, after this resolution was passed, the various branches immediately snatched up the number of students in this new course Including those veterans who once opposed the authorization given to Chen Daolin in the academy committee, it seems that they have suddenly suffered from amnesia at this moment, and let the branch where they are located desperately try to coax the places.
In the end, it was Dean Carmen who stood up and made the final decision.
As the professor who started the course, Chen Daolin has the right to choose the list of students.
Carmen, on the other hand, took out a quota proposed by Chen Daolin, and twenty students from the Hogwarts branch were selected.
Although the other Sorting Houses showed varying degrees of dissatisfaction with such a move, Carmen blocked them all back with just one sentence: "At the beginning, you were strongly opposed to this matter, but now you see the benefits and rush up desperately, you just want to take advantage and refuse to take responsibility, where is there such a cheap thing" The strangest thing in this matter was that the dean of the German branch, Hugo, the fat old man, did not say a word during the whole course of the incident, and did not say anything at all.
It was precisely because the second-in-command in the academy after Carmen did not speak, that Carmen's resolution was not strongly hindered.
However, Hugo's unexpected silence has also caused many people to speculate, and the identity of the dean Hugo is also very sensitive: he is a master alchemist If Chen Daolin's public teaching of alchemy caused a sensation in the academy, and even triggered a wave of praise from the academy to the young professor, then in comparison, Dean Hugo's situation was embarrassing.
Chen Daolin is just a professor, he was an acting professor before, and he has only been in the academy for a few months, so he can be regarded as an outsider.
This is an outsider who can have such a mind and teach the stunt of alchemy publicly As an old man in the academy, the dean of the branch, and a master of alchemy, Hugo can be said to have stayed in the Academy of Magic all his life, but he has never taught alchemy The so-called anything, I am afraid of comparison.
In the past, everyone thought that this thing was nothing, and it was normal.
But now that there is such a person as Chen Daolin, it seems that the situation of Dean Hugo is embarrassing.
Of the thirty regular student slots, Hogwarts has twenty.
The remaining ten places were divided among its faculties.
What is unexpected, but as if expected, is that there is no competition for a place in the German Academy.
In addition to the thirty official student places, the enthusiasm in the academy for this new course is so amazing that the number of applicants for auditing has been increased to fifty people at Carmen's behest, but it is still not satisfied.
On the day of the official opening of the class, a full eighty-one students sat down in the circular staircase hall.
Because at Chen Daolin's insistence, Lucius, an auditor of the academy, obtained the qualification of a regular student of this new course.
And because he is a disciple of Chen Daolin, he does not occupy the thirty places in the academy, and he is considered a supernumerary.
There is no objection from the academy to this point, after all, it is also an imperial tradition for magicians to accept apprentices, and even among the many elders and professors in the academy, who does not have a few private apprentices.
In the morning, the students came to the hall early, and the stairs around the child were high, and the magic students in robes were sitting on the top of the stairs.
Lucius sat in the middle of a group of Hogwarts students, right next to De Gummans, the boy looking a little excited, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
When the hourglass in the hall finally leaked, the students' expressions gradually became excited.
I don't know who exclaimed first: "Here comes Professor Darling" The main entrance of the hall was pushed open, and Chen Daolin appeared in everyone's eyes wearing a formal mage professor robe in the academy.
He looked very calm, with a common smile on his face, his hair neatly combed, and his clothes neat, and he slowly walked down the hall to the podium in the middle of the round staircase seats.
Chen Daolin gently put down the stack of books he was holding, and glanced around along the circular stepped seat before smiling: "Everyone came early." ” After a pause, he added: "I know very well that it is not how attractive my personal charm is, but it seems that alchemy is really attractive." ” There was a good-natured laugh from the students below.
"Good, I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Chen Daolin said slowly: "The yearning for alchemy is not a bad thing.
I am here, your teacher, and your presence here proves that you have a strong desire for alchemy.
I think that's something that any teacher would love to see: what could be happier than having a group of inquisitive students?"
There was still laughter, this time louder.
"I know that everyone has very high expectations for alchemy, and everyone must be curious, so I will start teaching the first lesson of the day."
When Chen Daolin said this, he paused deliberately, saw that many people's eyes were full of expectation, and then pursed his lips and smiled: "But first of all, I'm sorry to tell you that today's first lesson, what I talked about, seems to disappoint you."
Because the content of this first lesson doesn't seem to have much to do with magic. ” Many of the students had a stronger curiosity in their eyes.
Chen Daolin smiled with satisfaction, then he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Today's first lesson, I want to talk to you about some of the most basic things, or rather, I want to tell you what this new course will let you learn, our goals, our learning direction, what we will get in this course, what we will study, what is it?"
After saying this, he slowed down his speech again, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Now, I want to ask you a question, what do you think is power?"
No one made a sound, and the students all looked at Chen Daolin with blank eyes.
Chen Daolin smiled: "Okay, this question may be too broad and not easy to answer."
So I'll ask another way, is there anyone who can tell me what power can do?"
"Teacher."
De Gumans stood up, his expression a little nervous, but more excited and excited: "For a magician, power can do much, much more.
For example, we can use magic to lift heavy objects that are far beyond the limits of ordinary people's capacity.

We can allow ourselves to fly in the sky.
We can open mountains and rocks, we can do many, many things in short. ” De Gumans's tone was very proud, because there were so many people in the entire classroom, only he and Lucius were qualified to call Chen Daolin "teacher", and the rest of them had to respectfully call "Professor Darling".
"Good.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this answer.
Chen Daolin smiled: "As De Gumans said, power can do many things.
Especially for those of us, we magicians, can have a lot of power beyond ordinary people, and do things that ordinary people can't do, these powers are given to us by magic, and many people will think that only magicians can do these things, and only magicians can use these strange powers beyond ordinary people.
But in the first lesson of the day, what I'm going to do is break these old ideas of yours."
Chen Daolin suddenly raised his voice: "Even if there is no magic, there is a power in this world, which can be done beyond the imagination of ordinary people, beyond the limit of ordinary people's magic, this power can also be done."
After a pause, he said slowly, "I'm not denying magic, and I'm not trying to subvert any tradition.
What I want to tell you is that in this lesson, I will teach you how to combine this power with the magic you already know, and when you combine the two, it will burst out with even more amazing power."
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin saw that everyone was already looking forward to it, so he smiled: "First of all, what I want to do is to let everyone have an intuitive understanding of the power I said. ” With that, he left his desk and went to the open space in the middle of the hall.
In the middle of this circular lecture hall, there is a space about half the size of a basketball court.
"De Goumans."
Chen Daolin suddenly shouted.
"Yes, teacher," De Gummans stood up at once.
"I'm asking you a question, now let's say you're not a magician, you're just an ordinary person.
With your physical strength, you can lift many kinds of things."
"Uh" De Gumans touched his forehead and smiled embarrassedly: "A few dozen kilograms should be fine." ” "Hmm."
Chen Daolin nodded: "Then, let's try it now." ” He casually ordered a few students sitting in the front row: "You, you, and you, please stand up and let's do a test together."
De Guymans, come over too. ” After all, De Gumans is the captain of the perennial Quidditch team, and his body is quite strong, standing in front of ordinary students, half a head taller than everyone else.
Chen Daolin then asked De Gumans not to use magic, and purely used the strength of his arms to pick up one of the students.
De Goumans did it with ease.
Chen Daolin asked him to pick up the two people, De Gummans exerted all his strength, and he barely did it, just holding a person with one hand, which was very difficult, and he could only barely lift the person he was holding off the ground.
"It seems that you have reached the limit, and it is difficult to pick up three people at the same time" De Gumans immediately shook his head: "If there are three people, I'm afraid I can't do it." ” Chen Daolin smiled and looked at all the students: "Then now, everyone has seen that with the strength of an ordinary person, the limit is probably here."
Of course, if I allow you to use magic, this can be done easily.
But if I tell you now that I can do it without using magic, would you believe it?"
Some students really fell into this kind of thinking trap and couldn't help but shake their heads.
Chen Daolin stood in the middle and suddenly flicked his fingers.
A storage ring on his finger immediately glowed.
In the blink of an eye, several things appeared in the clearing.
A triangular pedestal with wheels added to it.
On the pedestal, a long wooden board is placed.
It's something like a seesaw that's common in the real world.
Chen Daolin walked over with a smile, moved the plank on the pedestal, quickly calculated what it was, and then fixed the position, and the plank was erected on the pedestal, one end long, the other short.
"De Gummans, and the students he just hugged, please make it to one end of this plank and sit on the left."
The students of De Gumans looked dazed, but they still sat down obediently, and four or five people sat tightly on the plank.
"Now" Chen Daolin slowly walked to the right side of the plank, looked at the high raised plank, slowly raised his legs, and gently put his feet on it: "Now you see, this is the power I said."
As he spoke, he pressed his foot down slightly.
It didn't seem to take much effort, and soon, the other end of the board was raised high, and the four students sitting on it all had their feet off the ground, high on the ground.
Many students couldn't help but let out excited voices.
But some people calmed down and couldn't help but ask: "Professor, I seem to have seen this kind of thing, on construction sites, when building walls and houses, some people use this method to transport very heavy stones and wood. ” "Yes, Professor, and I remember the trebuchets used in the army, which seems to be the same."
Chen Daolin laughed and said loudly: "Yes, that's right, your answers are correct, this is exactly what I want you to face, and even pay attention to, before starting this course, I hope you can understand one thing, magic, is not a unique power, in this world, there is another kind of magical power, you can do many extraordinary things without magic, and this magic machinery course, as I just said, I will let you understand this power, and finally you can integrate this power and magic" He pointed to the seesaw behind him and smiled, "You see, just such a device can allow one person to easily lift the weight of four people.
If it's 40 people, 400, 4,000, 40,000, I'm afraid even if I have this device, I can't lift it.
But what if I add the power of magic to that?"
A lot of people's eyes lit up De Gummans suddenly exclaimed, "Teacher, if I mean, if we can be on the catapult in the army, the same principle, if on this basis, add the power of magic, wouldn't it?"

"Wouldn't that make the catapult ten times more powerful than a hundred times my God?"
"It's not that simple" Chen Daolin immediately snorted, interrupting the discussion below, and he said lightly: "The calculation of strength is a very accurate science.
You have seen this device, when using this kind of thing, first of all, we need to know its various accurate data, what is the maximum load it can bear, how long the lever is used, how many things can be leveraged, this needs to be accurately calculated, and these calculations are the greatest guarantee for whether we can accurately grasp these forces in the future."
As he spoke, Chen Daolin quickly walked to the back and wrote a few lines on a whiteboard.
He turned around, looked at all the students, and smiled, So, before we start learning, I want to tell you a word that I hope all of you will remember.
"Everything is math" The magic machinery class, three days, six classes, can be regarded as very intensive.
However, in three days, this new course has already caused a huge sensation in the Academy of Magic.
Many people have seen those students, large and small, walking through the academy with books in their hands, full of chatter.
Some people also saw students sitting in the corridor by the square, holding cardboard to write and draw, and reciting words.
What "pulley friction formula, what friction, rest friction" There are also students who recite that "friction can be the same or opposite to the direction of motion, or it can be at an angle" "Lever Formula, Length, Weight" It seems that all the students who took this course suddenly became chattering.
Of course, the criticism is also huge Because Chen Daolin took classes for three days in a row, it is said that in the course, there was not a single mention of what magic was learned, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with magic In the eyes of the people in the Academy of Magic, this is simply an outrageous act Chen Daolin took the students to experience the device of pulling buckets for well water, and taught them what pulleys are.
Take them to do experiments, tell them what gravity is, take them to climb the tall buildings in the academy, and drop two iron balls, one large and one small, at the same time.
"It's two iron balls landing at the same time" In short, this guy takes the students to do all kinds of strange things.
But there is nothing that seems to have anything to do with magic Even in the process of teaching, it is not without students who are confused.
Three days later, there were even students who quit the "magic mechanics class" Although these things taught by Chen Daolin make everyone feel very novel, after all, what do these things have to do with magic Soon, this criticism even reached Dean Carmen.
Teachers and professors from other branches, as well as branch deans, protested to Carmen.
Some people even complained that Chen Daolin was engaged in "crooked ways" in the Academy of Magic, which was simply "heresy" This kind of messy behavior will only make the students waste their precious time and precious lives in such boring game jokes Chen Daolin was also informed of these complaints and accusations.
Faced with Carmen's question, Chen Daolin smiled.
"Then we might as well have a game.
Let these people see, it's something that traditional magic can do, and I can do it better than they can with magic machines."
"You are so confident" Carmen looked at Chen Daolin, in fact, Carmen herself was a little shaken Even if she is smart and genius, but after all, she is a native of this era and is limited by the environment, after all, she can't understand how "science" will burst out once it is combined with magic.
"Of course I'm confident."
Chen Daolin's tone was very calm, he looked into Carmen's eyes, and said slowly: "When any more advanced matter appears, there are always some old and rotten people who instinctively want to resist and obstruct it because of fear or ignorance.
But in fact, reversing the tide is simply a joke. ” "What" Carmen was a little dazed: "What do you mean" "What I'm saying is that all reactionaries are paper tigers."
Chen Daolin said righteously.
After speaking, without waiting for Carmen to come back to her senses, Chen Daolin, who had finished molesting the beautiful dean, had already run out of the dean's office quickly, leaving only one sentence in the distance.
"Tell those guys that in ten days, I'm willing to have a fight with them" Ten days, well, ten days Carmen suddenly came to her senses, and her face changed.
Ten days later, it was December 29th, and there were only two days left before the New Year's celebration, and if memory serves, this guy still had a duel waiting for him He's too busy to continue
