Chapter 277 Bow to the wind This chapter has 8,000 words, oh, the added part is considered to make up for the debt.
And still, I will continue to make up for it in the future, and it won't stop here.
The people at Carleton College over there were completely speechless.
From Dean Kurche onwards, those deans and elders of other branches have already begun to waver in their hearts at this moment.
The most important thing is that everyone invariably remembered the theory that Chen Daolin said after opening the "Magic Machinery" course in the academy.
"Magic, it should be able to be put into practice, if magic can't benefit the entire empire and society, and only stays at the privilege and game of a few people, then it is not worthy of being called a magical civilization at all."
There is no doubt that in today's first competition, Chen Daolin has shown his "strength".
The veterans in the Academy of Magic, even if there are some old stubborn or radical thinking, such as Dean Kurche.
But as long as these people can occupy a high position in the magic academy, there is no fool At this moment, a discerning person can already see that in this first competition, Chen Daolin has actually won completely.
Although the same conditions, Kurche did it.
Perhaps the audience and the guests sitting here are not fools.
What Dean Kurche took out was a precious piece of magical equipment, and everyone knew how expensive the value of the magical equipment was.
Especially this kind of magic equipment that is consumed at one time, there is no possibility of reuse at all, and it will be used when it is used.
What is consumed are expensive magic crystals, expensive magic scrolls, and the effort and energy consumed by the magician himself.
It is no exaggeration to say that the two magic scrolls that Kurche took out for communication, even among magicians, will not be easily taken out and used casually, but will be used for contact when there is an important and urgent matter.
These two magic scrolls, if they are on the market, are worth at least a few thousand gold coins And what is the "cost" of Chen Daolin's spending A few pieces of cardboard cut into a paper tube, and a roll of thread It's just a few copper plates, and you can get it all The most important thing is that this thing can be used infinitely over and over again And so far, several magic masters have not understood the principle, whether this Professor Darling really has some unknown power There are only a few people from aristocratic and wealthy families, and they vaguely think of something.
Some wealthy nobles have used brass pipes to transmit sounds, using copper pipes and metal pipes to transmit sounds, and the sound in one room can be directly transmitted to another room.
For example, the mysterious auction house.
But the problem is that this metal thing is not easy to insulate sound, and everyone knows this.
But a cotton thread can also have such a magical effect Even some students in the magic academy can't help but think: suppose this kind of paper tube is set up in various places in the academy, and then use cotton thread to connect all the places inside and outside the academy Isn't it?
Isn't it true that standing anywhere in the academy can talk to people at will?
If you think bolder again.
Place and distance are magnified a little more, not a college, but a street and a block Or even a city The cost of this thing is really low, not to mention the magic scroll of the magician, even the kind of copper and metal pipe used by many aristocratic and wealthy families, the cost is amazing For an empire in the age of cold weapons, where productivity was not yet developed, metal would always be valuable.
For an empire of cold weapons that can't even be fully armored by soldiers, it's simply impossible to popularize this kind of thing The first competition brought many people shock, but more of a deep contemplation Especially Fiona from the Tulip Workshop, and Angulo the Fat from the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.
In the chamber of commerce of these two people, there is a similar communication facility laid with metal pipes, and these two people were originally business elites, and at this moment, as long as they turn their minds a little, they can think of Chen Daolin's "invention", which contains many amazing possible surnames And how much crazy wealth potential It's just this kind of illusion that you can talk in advance in time, imagine how much change can be made to human life if there is such a thing, how much convenience and development of information transmission will bring to people's lives And if this kind of thing is popularized, how many business opportunities will be contained in the period Everyone was shocked, pondering, and in an uproar.
But Chen Daolin had fallen into silence.
He was still looking in the direction where Panin had left, and thoughts were spinning in his mind Panin's warning, what exactly does it mean?
This guy situation, danger does not want to die and leave Chen Daolin couldn't guess the meaning of his warning, and more importantly, Paning's warning was kind and malicious Chen Daolin knew very well that he and Panin were by no means good friends, and even hostility might be more of a relationship like this, did he really want to remind himself kindly when he issued such a warning, or And also Before he finally left, his cold eyes were expressionless, but his eyes were so cold and solemn.
With such a look, Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a chill.
De Gumanslodale is still Shodel Chen Daolin's eyes finally fell on Xiao De's body.
His red hair was still meticulously combed, and he stood quietly outside the crowd as he stood beside De Gumans and the other students who were cheering and cheering for victory, still looking out of place.
Chen Daolin noticed that Xiao De's eyes were even a little gloomy, some disdainful, some disapproving, and some disgusted Yes, just disgust.
This disgusted look was shot at it To Chen Daolin's surprise, this disgusted look was actually shot at The veteran members of the Academy of Magic, led by Dean Hugo Just when Chen Daolin fell into deep thought "Darling, what are you looking at" A delicate little hand gently tucked into his palm.
Chen Daolin raised his head, and saw Luo Daer's pretty face, which was a hint of concern in Nizi's eyes, and actually looked very sincere.
Chen Daolin felt a faint sense of gratitude in his heart, but then he looked down and saw Luo Deer's stomach, so he couldn't help but snort again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm wondering, when will you play me to death, eldest miss."
Don't you know that your old man has already talked to me about it.
You're not afraid that he's really going to tie you up and marry me."
To Chen Daolin's surprise, Luo Dale actually shrugged the straight and delicate little nose bridge slightly.
"Marry you, marry you Darling, do you dare to marry" "Ahh Chen Daolin glared at Luo Dai in surprise, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Luo Daer's forehead: "Miss, you don't have a fever, right?"
A trace of anger flashed in Luo Deer's eyes, and he flicked Chen Daolin's hand away hatefully, and said angrily: "Don't worry, even if I am burned, I will not marry myself to a pig casually."
With that, she twisted her head away with all her might.
But within a few seconds, when the eyes of the onlookers next to her came to her, this chick immediately became smiling again, leaned over softly, and grabbed Chen Daolin's arm hard.
Damn, this chick changes her face so quickly Just when Chen Daolin sighed helplessly in his heart, Luo Dale whispered and sneered in his ear: "That Tulip family's Fiona, why is it that she always secretly aimed at you, is it that you have only been here for a few months, and you have already got her started?"
"Don't say what you say so ugly, okay?"
Chen Daolin frowned, now he was really a little angry.

"Really not, then you have to be careful, this woman is very troublesome, I don't know how many men have beaten her idea, among them, people with higher status and greater power than you, if there are people in this woman, I don't know how much trouble it will bring you."
Chen Daolin snorted, and said angrily: "Don't forget, so far, the woman who has brought me the most trouble is whether you are good or not."
"Oh, then is this my honor" Roddell smiled sweetly at Chen Daolin, hugged Chen Daolin's arm tightly as if demonstrating, and then glared back at the women in the crowd who peeked at Chen Daolin, including Fiona.
"Darling, don't forget.
Now I'm your nominal woman, and you're my nominal man, if you hook up with other women, it will make me very shameless. ” "What if you don't have face."
Chen Daolin pouted.
Luo Dale raised her eyes and looked at Chen Daolin, her big bright eyes flickered, her eyelids blinked, her eyelashes fluttered, but her tone was very serious.
"It's not going to be good, it's just that I'm going to be jealous" Luo Dale's tone was very serious, and said slowly: "You should understand that women are jealous, but it's terrible." ” Chen Daolin was frightened by these words Especially when Luo Daer spoke, the seriousness in her tone and eyes made Chen Daolin instinctively feel a trace of inappropriateness and danger.
"You" Chen Daolin tried to make a joke, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that his smile became very reluctant: "You don't really fall in love with me, hey acting, don't get too deep into the play."
"Bah, I'm in love with you, but I don't have it now," Rodelle blushed, spitting, and turned her head away.
Chen Daolin breathed a sigh of relief.
But he was so nervous that he seemed to ignore Lodel's words.
Not yet.
Right now "Professor Darling" A neutral voice pulled Chen Daolin back from his contemplation.
The chubby Dean Hugo had already come over, and the old man was born with a round and chubby face, and even when he had a straight face, he looked as if he had a three-point smile on his face.
But at this moment, he was indeed smiling, and the smile in his eyes was not deliberately hidden.
Dean Hugo even looked up and down at Luo Dale, who was snuggled in Chen Daolin's arms for a while, with a kind of "kind elder" gaze, and then looked at Chen Daolin, a hint of a ridiculous smile flew out of the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Professor Darling, is it tender and sweet, it can be done at any time."
Look, now is it time to let the competition continue?"
"Ah of course" Chen Daolin hurriedly pushed Luo Daer away, and didn't care about this little girl's resentful eyes, don't act, okay, and strode to the audience in an uproar.
Clearing his throat, Chen Daolin laughed loudly: "Everyone" As he spoke, the audience fell silent.
"I think everyone saw the first game very clearly, and I want to repeat it again.
There is no winner or loser in our competition today, it is just an academic exchange.
So, let's move on to the second competition."
Someone in the "good" crowd immediately responded.
Someone else shouted, "Professor Darling, please keep us seeing more amazing things."
"Haha yes, I'm sure it's worth it today."
"Go on, I'll see something more interesting."
Chen Daolin bowed to the crowd and thanked him, and then glanced at Hugo, who smiled calmly, but the old man of Curche, the old man still hadn't come back to his senses, and he was still there, with words in his mouth.
Chen Daolin couldn't bear to hit this guy anymore, so he simply said to Hugo: "Your Excellency Dean Hugo, look, the next competition content, do you want to invite you to host" As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Kurche not far away.
Dean Hugo understood and nodded: "Okay." ” "So, everybody, now I declare, the second competition, and here begins."
Chen Daolin said, took two steps back, and then let Rodelle and Rose and the others return to their seats and sit down before he coughed and announced loudly: "Second Competitive Transport" "As we all know, transportation is a very important thing, how to transport the most goods or people as far as possible at the fastest speed with the minimum cost, is the most important criterion for considering transportation capacity Militarily speaking, if enough troops can be put to the most needed places in the fastest time, a war can be won Commercially speaking, if you can transport goods from one place to another in the most efficient way, then you can make the most profits.
In terms of people's livelihood, if people from several places can be transported freely and smoothly to each other, then it is possible to make the labor force of this region exchange, maximize the use of human and material resources, and make a region more prosperous I don't think I need to say more, all of you who are doing it are either rich or expensive, and have a wide range of knowledge, so I don't need to repeat it here.
So.
Now let's start the second test transportation" As he spoke, Chen Daolin lost a look at Fiona who was sitting in the crowd.
The woman immediately stood up, and in full view of everyone, she walked up and stood beside Chen Daolin.
"In order to show justice, I specially invited Miss Fiona from the Tulip Workshop to be a witness to this competition, and at the same time, Miss Fiona also contributed to the second competition on behalf of the Tulip Workshop.
Of course, as everyone knows, the day after tomorrow I am going to make an appointment for a competition, and the opponent of the competition is the famous master under the command of Miss Fiona, I think there is this relationship, no one present will think that Miss Fiona will collude with me in today's competition. ” There was a burst of laughter below.
"So, let's get started now."
Chen Daolin nodded to Fiona.
The woman walked up, she was indeed extremely beautiful, and her gestures were charming, and the men present quickly focused their eyes on her.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Fiona's voice was delicate and crisp, but with a hint of neatness and neatness: "It was also an accident for me to be commissioned by Professor Darling to invite me to participate in this competition.
I can only say that I am grateful to Professor Darling for his trust in me and the Tulip Workshop, which is enough to reflect Professor Darling's high demeanor and open-mindedness."
Saying that, she paused deliberately and said with a smile: "I think everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I won't say much nonsense, let's talk about the content of this competition." ” She quickly waved her hand, and then several servants of the Tulip family had already run out quickly, and soon left the square.
A moment later, I saw a crowd of people slowly coming to the square.

There were as many as two hundred of these people, all of them were dressed in leather armor, armed with short spears or sharp swords, all of them were uniformly equipped, and they looked full of spirit, and they were clearly elite guards who were very well trained.
When everyone present saw it, they immediately recognized it.
This is exactly the guard where the tulip workshop is in.
In other words, this is a private army of the Tulip family stationed all year round and is responsible for protecting the Tulip Workshop's industry.
Although the number of people is not very large, only more than 200 people, but the 200 or so people are lined up neatly, and they walk in an orderly manner, and there is quite an awe-inspiring atmosphere, which is obviously the elite people selected from the family The two hundred private troops, fully armed, marched to the square and stood on one side of the square, only a few dozen steps away from the audience.
Almost at the same time, on the other side of the square, a row of carriages drove slowly.
At first glance, these are the heavy trucks in the Chamber of Commerce that are specially responsible for transporting heavy goods, and the wheels and bodies are specially made for the cargo capacity of the family.
Among the guests, many people from the wealthy chambers of commerce recognized them at a glance.
And these carriages, almost all of which bear the badge of the tulip family, are obviously sponsored by Fiona.
The carriage came to a halt beside the square, and almost half of the square was slowly stuffed.
And this car, all of which are fully loaded, and all of them are full of charcoal, firewood, ore, and so on.
After the dozen or so carriages stopped here, what was amazing was that after the coachmen stopped, they immediately untied all the reins of the horses, and then led away all the dozens of horses pulling the carts quickly "Ladies and gentlemen, the trucks here are fully loaded."
Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "I can tell you a more accurate data, there are a total of twenty tons of goods here, yes, a full twenty tons" Chen Daolin's smiling appearance fell in the eyes of the diehard elders of those magician academies, and suddenly made people feel an indescribable hatefulness and faint unease "My request is very simple, although the transportation distance is also an important criterion to consider the transportation capacity, but we must not let all the distinguished guests wait in this square for a whole day in such a cold weather."
Chen Daolin laughed: "Then, the topic is here, the following competition will be conducted by the distinguished magician of the academy first." ” He raised his hand and pointed to the loaded wagons, and then to the two hundred heavily armed guards not far away: "Twenty tons of cargo, or, two hundred."
In terms of weight, the weight of the two hundred guards plus the equipment on their bodies is basically the same as those goods.
The magicians of the academy will give priority to the selection of twenty tons of goods, or two hundred guards in any way, with this square as the end point of the academy The distance of one way is about one kilometer, and one round trip is two kilometers, so it will be ten times back and forth, how to explain the distance of twenty kilometers in advance, it is not allowed to let these two hundred guards run on their own legs Oh of course, it is not allowed to use the power of livestock, everyone sees, I have let people take the horses away. ” Some people laughed out loud, but many more were lost in thought Someone shouted, "Do you want someone to pull the cart yourself?"
Chen Daolin smiled: "If Your Excellency has the strength to pull a special heavy truck alone and walk twenty kilometers, then I am willing to bow to the wind." ” At this moment, Dean Hugo on the side was also silent, and the smiling expression on his face finally disappeared, replaced by a tightly frowning brow.
Chen Daolin's blow hit the soft underbelly of the magicians This competition is a hidden killer Transporting twenty tons of cargo is not a problem at all for the magician With the presence of storage rings or storage magic equipment, a mage can easily empty all the goods in a warehouse As for twenty kilometers, what is it to pick up a flying broomstick, you can easily do it If you look at it this way, it seems that Chen Daolin's competition is purely self-inflicted But the other half of the subject is two hundred guards Two hundred people, two hundred living people This is difficult for magicians As we all know, because of the limitations of space magic, all the storage magic equipment in this world, no matter how top-level the equipment, no matter how magical the storage ring is, can even hold a mountain to enter.
But there is only one thing that cannot be done in any way It just can't hold a living thing Yes, no living thing, whether it is an animal, a magical beast, a human, a flower, a bird, a fish, or a living thing, cannot fit into the storage magic equipment Once you throw it in, you will die, and what you will take out is only a corpse It's a well-known fact that the storage space opened up by space magic can't hold living people But if you don't use magic storage equipment to transport two hundred people This seems to be a bit difficult for magicians.
It's not that it can't be done, if you give everyone some time to make a magic array, it's not impossible to shuttle the magic array through space But to make a magic circle that can pass through two hundred people, the cost is some Even if the Academy of Magic has a lot of money, it will never be able to do it for a while The current empire is not a magic array without space transfer, in many important cities, military strongholds, there are such magic arrays, but they are all small, at most used to urgently transmit important objects, documents, important valuables and the like.
It is used to transport a large number of people, which is not possible with the national power of the empire Otherwise, then the empire would have defeated the orcs a long time ago, if there is this kind of magic array that can transport people on a large scale, the massive army in the country can be directly transferred to the front line anytime and anywhere, saving a huge amount of logistics supplies and expenses on the road How can there be such a good thing Although Chen Daolin's title seems to be very polite, it can be left to the magicians to choose whether to transport goods or people.
It seems to have saved a lot of face for the other party.
However, for many magicians, this kind of deliberate step and face is like a slap in the face Others think a little deeper If it is difficult for these magicians to choose to transport goods, could this Darling mage have a way to transport people?
Large-scale transportation of goods does not require manpower or the power of livestock It's not on land, not on water, and you can't use boats And with 200 people transported, you can't do it with a hot air balloon No manpower, no livestock, no water, and no hot air balloons You can't use magic yet How the hell did he do it Chen Daolin looked at the magicians who were looking at each other.
Then he suddenly sighed softly and whispered to himself.
"I can now understand the state of mind of the Watt god back then, it's just a bully, a cool bomb."
After saying that, he slowly walked to the row of carriages and said with a smile: "Young men, get our things."
In a moment, several horses, pulling two "carriages" that seemed to be specially made, slowly drove to the square.
The carriage looked bizarre: the heavy carriage had eight metal wheels on each side of the chassis, and the interlocking metal rods were welded together.
And on the carriage, there is actually a small chimney Well, that's right, it's really a chimney The magic students got the two carriages directly to the end of the wagon convoy.
Then the lads moved quickly, and with the chains and cables prepared in advance, all the carriages were connected one by one, and the two special chimneys at the two ends were also bolted.
Well, one end and one tail, two locomotives Chen Daolin looked at this scene, but actually sighed secretly in his heart.
The train itself can't be made for the time being, because there are no rails, the railway is an extremely money-burning thing, just laying the rails, it requires a large amount of steel, which is by no means the iron-smelting strength of a country that is still in the era of cold weapons in feudal society Therefore, it is impossible to make the railroad tracks by yourself, so you have to make these four dislikes.
The steam engine was removed from the two antique locomotives he had brought back from the old museum, and he had erased all the steel seals and any imprints that could reveal the information.
The most important thing is that there are less than ten people in the Wushuang Fang who have come into contact with this steam engine.
In particular, a few blacksmiths were amazed by the steel used in the inner furnace of the steam engine, as well as the connected pipe kits, which were simply amazing.
However, Chen Daolin took out the majesty of a magician, and these guys didn't dare to ask or say more.
After the heads of the two steam engines are fixed, one end and the other.
It was Chen Daolin, who also took a clever approach.
Because although he made this thing, it is a bit similar to a steam engine car.
But after all, he is not a real mechanical engineer, and he can't make a real car in this world, at least, the mechanism of direction control, he can't figure it out In other words, these two bodies can only go straight for the time being, and they can barely adjust their direction slightly.
If you want to turn or go around in circles freely, it is better to kill Chen Daolin directly But in this case, the distance between the square and the gate of the college, this kilometer, is very simple Therefore, the 20 kilometers that Chen Daolin said were actually deliberately avoiding his own shortcomings.
Going back and forth ten times, the front and rear two fronts, and the cross pull is enough, but if he is allowed to drive out of the academy and drive twenty kilometers on the road and encounter a turn, he will die Moreover, the road conditions in the magic academy are very good, and when it was built, the stone roads were used at the expense of work, and if they were replaced with those muddy roads, I was afraid that the car would have to stop cooking.
In any case, what he showed today is actually the power of the steam engine If you can plant a seed in the hearts of these people and let them see the great potential brought by the steam engine, this competition can be regarded as invincible "Then everyone, let's get started," Chen Daolin smiled politely at the bigwigs and elders in the academy.
The rest of the patriarchs were still stunned, and at this moment, Hugo suddenly let out a long sigh.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The old man stood in front of Chen Daolin, and then, in the midst of everyone's exclamations, Dean Hugo of the German branch actually bent down to Chen Daolin and bowed seriously This gift made Chen Daolin stunned He quickly turned sideways, and then bowed to Dean Hugo.
But the old man helped him.
Chen Daolin looked up and saw Hugo's complicated expression, but there was a trace of solemnity and perseverance in his eyes "Professor Darling, I can take the place of your colleagues in each branch, we don't have to make a fool of ourselves, as long as you can show how to transport these two hundred living people, this competition, these old guys in our academy, even if they are willing to bow down to you."
Speaking of this, Hugo's expression was a little excited, and he continued loudly: "Not only that, if you can really do this, then this initiative of yours is the most important and precious invention and wealth of my Roland Empire in the past hundred years, in the future, your magic machinery class, if anyone dares to say half a word, without your Darling Professor or Dean Carmen, my old man will be the first to stand up and reason with him."
This chapter has 8,000 words, oh, the added part is considered to make up for the debt.
And still, I will continue to make up for it in the future, and it won't stop here.
To be continued
