In the blink of an eye, it has been late July, and Luo Songxi has been in Giles for more than a month.The empire still did not open up propaganda control, there were no newspapers and reporters who were like the Federation who were fond of chasing new things, and some mysterious and tempting "dinar finances" were only sold in the eyes of the people who liked to watch the excitement in the Sixth Ring Road, and in the small range of word of mouth, about three to five hundred shares, that is, three or five hundred dinars, were sold, and they did not make a big wave.But Luo Songxi was not in a hurry, he looked at the compilation of various news from Gilles, who asked Ivan to send people every day.It's time in Giles.He was a little anxious, but Luo Qingming still didn't show up.The information channel between Gilstu and the Federation is still in a state of complete paralysis, and he cannot know about Luo Qingming's situation, nor can he know anything that is happening in the Federation.It stands to reason that Luo Qingming should have arrived in Gilles a week or even two weeks ago to join him on the streets, but now that he, an "actor", has made his debut on stage, the "drama" has not yet arrived.He has accumulated a lot of valuable information that needs to be sent back to the Federation, and the compilation of information sent by Ivan has also piled up very high, and he urgently needs Luo Qingming to come and conduct professional intelligence analysis.didn't wait for Luo Qingming, but the mysterious examination of the Imperial Engineering Research Institute was about to begin.………… Luo Songxi sat in a rental carriage and slowly drove to the entrance of the ancient city of Gilsdu, and then got off the car and walked in.This is the first time that Luo Songxi has stepped into the core area of the Ninth Ring Road of Gilles, which is surrounded by ancient city walls.The Ten Rings of Gilsdu are the Imperial City, and the Nine Rings are the seat of the Imperial Council and various government agencies.Therefore, within the Ninth Ring Road, except for vehicles from the royal and government departments, civilian vehicles are not allowed to pass.Fortunately, the Engineering Research Institute was not far from the southeast gate of the inner city, and Luo Songxi walked to the gate of the Engineering Research Institute in less than twenty minutes, showed the admission permit to the guards at the door, and walked into the quadrangular courtyard.The Rising Sun Empire is revered for its squareness, and these ancient city buildings inherited from the former empire with a history of more than 1,000 years still maintain an extremely square courtyard pattern even after countless repairs.The Engineering Research Institute is one of the most typical representatives of this, with a square enclosure enclosing a wide square courtyard in the center.After a second careful look at the permit, he entered the wide courtyard under the guidance of the guards.A simple but precious rostrum was set up in the courtyard, and rows of wooden chairs were placed under the platform made of fragrant rosewood.Obviously, before the official exam, there is a pre-exam ceremony to be held here.In the front area of the chair are the researchers at all levels of the institute, and in the back area there are already many candidates with nervous and excited faces.Luo Songxi even saw an old man with white hair from these candidates, and at his age, he seemed to be a rare young talent among the candidates.After another half an hour, the ceremony officially began, and the aging dean of the Imperial Academy of Engineering stepped onto the stage and delivered a boring speech at a slow pace, detailing the Institute's philosophy, outstanding achievements, status in the Empire, etc., hoping that this year's candidates could join the Engineering Research Institute through their own efforts, the ideal home of alchemists and mechanics throughout the empire, and so on.Luo Songxi listened drowsily, but the students sitting around him were as boring as him at first, but the more he heard about it, the more excited and anticipated he became.Luo Songxi couldn't help but ask a candidate sitting next to him, "This ......
Although the dean's speech was broad and profound, why did it ......
I can't get the excitement inside?
”The candidate glanced at him, "Didn't your recommending mentor tell you that Miss Veronica Lilly would come up to the stage to speak after the dean finished speaking?"
”Veronica Lily, Luo Songxi remembered the name.On the list of people that the Empire needs to focus on in the context of the UNSC, Veronica is undoubtedly at the top of the list.She is the only student of Antonidas, the most prominent archmage of the empire and the god of erudition, she is a magical genius who stepped into the Sanctuary level at the age of fifteen, no one doubts whether she can take over the mantle of Antonidas, the only doubt is how far she can go on the path of elemental magic.And she is only seventeen years old this year, and she is said to have fallen out of the face of the country and the city.How could such a girl who combines wisdom and beauty not become a collective goddess in the eyes of the imperial people?
She is the most famous and admired beautiful girl in the entire empire.At this time, the old dean's speech finally ended, and he announced, "I now have the honorary president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, Ms.
Veronica Lilly, to speak!"
”The audience burst into thunderous applause, especially the younger candidates present, who had already stood on their chairs, stretched their necks and blushed, and applauded desperately in anticipation of Veronica's appearance."
Miss Veronica is also the honorary director of the Engineering Institute?"
Luo Songxi asked again to the candidate on the side.The examinee looked at Luo Songxi with the same eyes as if he were mentally retarded."
I'm from the countryside of Iskan Province......
Luo Songxi hurriedly explained, "I just don't know that Miss Veronica is not only a magical genius, but also a genius in alchemy and mechanics. ”"Miss Veronica is not only the Honorary President of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, but also the Imperial Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the Imperial Academy of Music and Dance, the Imperial Academy of Literature and Philosophy, the Imperial Academy of Literature, the Imperial Academy of Agricultural Technology, and the Imperial Pet Care Society...... and more than 20 other institutions, honorary presidents or honorary presidents. ”Only then did the candidate show a little patience and explain to Luo Songxi, "Miss Veronica is the honorary dean of the Engineering Research Institute, the important thing is not whether she is proficient in alchemy and machinery, but the important thing is that Miss Veronica is the idol of all the researchers and associate researchers of the Engineering Research Institute, oh, those younger intern researchers and assistant researchers, let alone those younger intern researchers." ”"Look, Miss Veronica is out."
The candidate shouted, "Hello, Miss Veronica—" Veronica Lily wore long, pure black hair, unlike the brown or maroon hair color that was common to the Empire.She also did not wear the traditional sorcerer's robes, but instead wore a vintage court pleated skirt.Her appearance is not the most amazing in Luo Songxi's opinion, but her facial features are very chic, and the lines of her face are very soft, giving people a very youthful and sunny and affinity.At the corner of the right eye near the cheekbone, there is a very chic mole, which adds a somewhat wanton but just right beauty to the sunny and youthful face.The audience cheered one after another, at first it was just a younger candidate, intern, and assistant researcher, and after a while, the older researchers also joined in the cheering team, which shows Veronica's popularity in the empire regardless of age.Indeed, in the minds of the younger generation, Veronica is the most perfect collective icon, and in the minds of the previous generation, Veronica represents the hope of the future of the Empire.Veronica folded her hands to thank everyone, and when the cheers stopped, she opened her mouth to greet everyone, but it attracted another more violent cheer.Veronica's voice couldn't cover the cheers of the audience for a while, so she used her bright eyes to circle around the audience, her eyes swept over Luo Songxi's dark eyes, and the corners of one side of her mouth were raised, as if revealing a naughty expression.The second cheer finally subsided, and Veronica finally began to speak.“…… The greatness of the Imperial Academy of Engineering lies in the fact that it gathers the best scientists of the Empire, who represent the level of productivity of the Empire and the modernization of the Empire.Candidates, I hope that you will give your best in the next examinations, and you will feel honored to be able to join the highest level ......of scientific research institutions in the Empire."
"At the end of my speech, I would also like to give a small suggestion to the Academy of Engineering.It's just that when I look around like this, I think that there are obviously fewer young people in the engineering research institute. ”"Young people may be inexperienced, but they may have more fresh ideas, they may have better energy, and most importantly, they have enough time to grow.But I see that there are very few candidates under the age of 30 this year.Dean Alyosha, can we give young people more opportunities next time?
”The old dean was not in the least unhappy that Veronica was faulty, he smiled very kindly at Veronica, and said, "Well, well, young people are the future of the empire." ”Veronica took the opportunity to say, "However, I still saw a very young candidate today, and I want to invite him to the stage, stand next to me, and cheer him on, okay?"
”Her finger pointed at Luo Songxi.
