The afternoon class passed quickly, and everyone left the school building.

Charles works in the cafeteria every other day and doesn't have to go to work today.

After school, he did not go to the cafeteria, but received a large courier from the staff of Dragon Logistics under the teaching building and walked towards the residence of the principal Erbach in the academy.

Unlike Wolfe, the principal of Wisteria College, who was a single, only Diana had an adopted granddaughter, Erbach later married a distant cousin, and now the family is prosperous and full of children and grandchildren.

Erbach has the title of earl in his hometown, and his family lives in the territory, and he is usually the only one living in the academy.

The headmaster's house is surrounded by a rose wall, and there is usually no doorway, and visitors can only ring the brass bell outside the wall, and the host agrees, and a doorway will appear in the wall.

The garden behind the rose wall is full of tulips, and in March it is the time when the tulips first bloom, and the flowers in the yard are either solid or multi-colored, and they are trying to bloom.

Erbach had returned home, sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing with a gadget.

He was not surprised by Charles's visit, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down, I knew you would come, and we will have dinner later." ”

In fact, Erbach was not sure if Charles would come today, so he said this, making Charles feel that his actions were all under the control of the principal.

Charles sat down and looked at the living room, which was plainly furnished, and the most striking thing was an oil painting hanging on the wall.

The painting is set against the seashore, with a white-haired scholar sitting on a stone in the center, surrounded by young men and women, and a dwarf.

Charles recognized his grandfather in the painting at a glance, and there was a beautiful girl who was supposed to be his grandmother.

Then he even recognized Old Man Wolf and Erbach beside him, and there was also a dwarf with a long beard tied into a ponytail, which was supposed to be the same Locke he had seen many years ago.

Erbach noticed that Charles was looking at the painting, he smiled and said, "When we were young, we used to listen to the teachings of Mr. Lucion by the sea. ”

Charles exclaimed, "He was such an amazing scholar. ”

Among the students depicted in the painting, there were two headmasters of first-class academies and a cardinal who forged a temple, and one of them was enough for a man to brag about for a lifetime.

Erbach said proudly: "The teacher is the scholar who has the best chance of obtaining the title of 'Great Sage' in three hundred years, but he thinks he is too far from Philip, so he refuses. ”

"He is the undisputed number one among the 'sages' over the years. ”

Charles nodded, "Sage" and "Great Sage" are the top honors among scholars, if you want to give an example, "Sage" is equivalent to "Academician", and "Great Sage" is a person at the level of a Nobel Prize winner (except for the Peace Prize).

This honor can only be counted after it is recognized by the various colleges of Knowledge City, and it is not something that a cat or dog can throw with money.

Erbach was also known as the "Sage" for his pioneering contributions to the manufacture of magical objects.

Old Man Wolf also has the title of "Sage", and he has made outstanding contributions to the study of magic.

Charles knew that he didn't expect to be a graduate of academia, and that he wouldn't have worked on a construction site in his previous life if he had such a smart brain.

But Diana had a chance.

That's when Charles noticed what Erbach was playing with, which was the core of the human body's magic lamp, which automatically lit up when someone passed by and there was a sound.

Erbach saw that Charles was "on the road", so he asked, "This magic lamp is a product of your Jiuyang Chamber of Commerce, right?"

Charles smiled embarrassedly and said, "A little gadget makes the principal laugh." ”

Erbach shook his head and said, "It's small, but it's very significant, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it can change the world." ”

"I didn't expect that the demon clan has come to this point. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Charles with a smile that seemed to be a smile, and he looked like he had seen through Charles.

Charles knew that Elbach was cheating on himself, and he also knew that the source of the technology at the heart of the demon brain could not be hidden from top scholars like them.

A large number of almost complete golem puppets found on the side of the Evil God Altar many years ago naturally fell into the hands of the Shield Bridge Academy, as long as there is a more in-depth study of their puppet cores, it is natural to see the technical origin of it and this demon brain core.

Charles was noncommittal to Elbach's temptation, but asked: "If the Joyoung Chamber of Commerce funds to cooperate with Dunqiao College to establish an industry-university-research base, I wonder if the college is interested?"

Seeing Charles start to get down to business, Erbach also started to get serious, and he asked, "How did you plan it?"

Charles sorted out his thoughts on the way here, and he said: "The Joyoung Chamber of Commerce funded the establishment of a research center in Dunqiao College, and the Joyoung Chamber of Commerce put the problems encountered in production into the research center and marked the corresponding remuneration. Teachers and students of the college can find their own way, or they can rent the equipment of the research center and purchase part of the knowledge reserve to study and solve problems, and the Joyoung Chamber of Commerce will pay the corresponding remuneration after solving the problem. ”

After hearing this, Elbach thought for a moment and asked, "You mean that this research center adopts the model of the Adventurer's Guild, where the task is hung out and then the task is completed?"

Charles nodded, industry-university-research cooperation is a new thing here, he doesn't know how to carry it out, he discussed it with the machine spirit girls for a long time before deciding to use the familiar adventurer union model to start, and then slowly adjust it depending on the situation.

Erbach soon found out the problem, what if a task that paid well was completed by several groups of people?

Charles was prepared for the question, saying: "Normally, we pick the team that finishes first. ”

"If other teams have a technical brilliance, we will reward them appropriately after evaluation. ”

"If it's done late and there's no bright spots, you're self-financed. ”

This problem will inevitably arise, and if it is not handled well, chaos will arise, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in the adventurer union.

Erbach asked a few more questions, such as patents, and Charles answered them one by one.

Finally, Erbach said: "I will meet tomorrow to discuss this issue, and I will inform you of the results." Personally, I am a supporter of this innovation. ”

Charles breathed a sigh of relief when the main task was completed, and then he threw out the first collaborative project.

After obtaining Elbach's consent, Charles took out the courier he had just received before coming over the storage ring - the first generation of manpower automatic bun machine produced by the Joyoung Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, Intel's first batch of products included a fully automatic bun machine, which has now developed to the third generation, and it has also caused a war between "soulless buns" and "soulless buns" in Abyss City.

However, due to the consideration of cost, maintenance and user level, the power of the first batch of steamed bun machines sold by Joyoung Chamber of Commerce on the human side is shaken by people, and the linkage between various systems is completed by gears.

This is definitely not someone planning to make money by squeezing toothpaste and launching a new bun machine.

Making steamed buns is a handicraft of our work, and the buns made without that craft are used as bait and Warcraft are not eaten, and having craftsmanship means that the salary is high.

Now with the steamed bun machine, one or two men who have nothing but strength can wrap the steamed buns out by shaking the wheel vigorously, and the boss who sells the steamed buns is going to snicker.

Charles pointed to the core of the magic brain that Elbach was playing with just now and said, "Headmaster, if the academy can transform a machine that can produce about a thousand buns in an hour, and the production cost of buns is lower than that of manual labor, the Jiuyang Chamber of Commerce will buy the patent for this technology at the price of fifty Ore gold coins." ”

"If you can produce two thousand buns in an hour, that's one hundred gold Ole coins. ”

"If you can produce a thousand more per hour, you will add fifty gold coins. ”

"If the academy can build a few machines that produce a thousand buns per hour, I will buy them for two units per gold coin. For every 1,000 more production, the purchase price will increase accordingly. ”

Erbach circled around the bun machine twice and said, "This price is low." ”

Charles shook his head and said, "Headmaster, it's still me who takes care of the academy to give this benefit to the academy, if it weren't for the high freight, I would have directly bought a machine to produce a bun in a second and came back." ”

Elbach's eyes froze, and he heard what Charles meant, there was already a machine for the demons in the west that could produce a bun for a second.

If that machine is not producing buns, but weapons...... Erbach immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Not for steaming buns, just for breath, Erbach, as a handful at the top of the pyramid, sees and thinks longer than others, and he is determined to compare the demons in the west.

Elbach patted Charles on the shoulder and said, "I took over this task from Shield Bridge Academy, I promise to give you the results within ten days, and then you can enjoy campus life, now we will eat first." ”
