Chapter 448: Brute Scholar
For two years, the turtle wanted to go out, but no one would let him go out. www.biquge.info After several years of progress in materials and some technological improvements, the steam locomotive is more stable and more efficient. The failure rate has also been reduced a lot.
The brute turtle sat at the end of Yao Ran's carriage, and he didn't dare to come forward to talk to Yao Ran and the others, while Yao Ran was standing with Hua Tuo, until this time, the brute turtle knew that the little man next to Yao Ran was actually Dr. Hua Tuo, who had been civilized in the family for a long time.
The crampedness and uneasiness along the way did not diminish half a point after arriving at the family academy, the unfamiliar environment and strange eyes made the turtle feel that he was out of place wherever he was, but the knowledge in the classroom attracted him involuntarily.
And the teachers who gave the lecture also discovered the existence of this barbarian. There are several courses arranged by Yao Ran in the family academy, and the courses that must be studied last for one month, no matter what level of learning, after a month, Yao Ran is satisfied with the exam, and he can start to prepare for the westward journey.
What the barbarian turtle wants to learn is actually the most difficult thing to learn in the Yao clan, geology, which actually has a great relationship with minerals.
Geology is a natural science that explores how the whole continent evolves, and the original generation of geology is derived from the demand of human society for mineral resources such as oil, coal, metals, and non-metals, and the exploration of geological and mineral resources guided by geology is the fundamental source of the survival and development of human society.
But now all the veins discovered by the Yao clan were discovered by Youran himself, that is, others were not tied to anything.
However, the Yao clan has very few talents in this area, and no one can independently discover those strange stones of different natures.
And who wants to pick up stones all over the mountains and fields in the wind and sun, and then carry those heavy and heavy stones back to the Yao clan for thousands of miles.
Therefore, there are only three classmates in the geology class, and the three people are only a little interested in it, and the person who talks about geology is not a person, it is the summer solstice.
Because it is really difficult for others to understand, to say that the people in the Yao clan who have traveled the most and have seen and heard the most, in fact, there is really only the summer solstice.
Although Yao Ran knows a lot, there is nothing he doesn't understand, but really in this world, on the continent under his feet, Yao Ran must not have the road he has traveled on the summer solstice and has been to many villages.
Many of the minerals that Yao Ran painted in the geology textbook, even if he had not seen them on the summer solstice, but the description was explained to the students.
But the previous students still liked to listen, but it was a waste of time to say that the students of the family college were busy or utilitarian, and it was really a waste of time to learn a knowledge that they would not need in the future, and wasting time was equivalent to wasting life.
Therefore, this kind of knowledge used to waste life is only liked by a few people who are willing to commit suicide.
This is also the reason why Xia Solstice is in charge of this course, because students who have signed up for classes sometimes often do not come to class, because the exam questions from Xia Solstice are actually not very difficult, so people who have signed up for this course can still pass as long as they listen to the class, but if they don't come to class, Xia Solstice can go back to do other things and not use it to take classes.
But today's student is a barbarian arranged by Yao Ran, and Xia Zhi has never taught barbarians a lesson. Even if many students from the Family Academy had gone to teach the barbarians, their response when they came back was to despise the ignorance of the barbarians.
And what made Xia Zhi have a great change in his opinion of the barbarians was the student called the barbarian turtle sitting in this empty classroom in front of him.
This kid has a good brain, and he works very hard, for those ore paintings printed with ink, Xia Zhi himself can't paint silently, this kid can actually draw every picture according to the description.
And his incompetent teacher is often asked, in the summer solstice, there is no need to arrange any exams for him, after a month of study, this kid can stay in school to teach, specializing in geology.
There is also a teacher who also has a very high evaluation of the tortoise, that is, the medicine teacher Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo has approached Yao Ran several times and asked to leave this student named Mangui to his medical team.
Because this kid worked so hard, after studying for three weeks, he was able to memorize the five pharmacy books before and after, including the picture album in them.
There are also two medical cases, one medical foundation, not to mention whether he understands the principles and foundations of these things, just rush to this momentum, this kid will not be bad in the future.
And to paraphrase what the brute wrote in his memoirs in his old age, the first month of study at the family academy was the month of his life when he slept the least and rested the worst, sleeping for no more than two hours almost every day.
As a result of his studies in herbalism, he found an invigorating herb that, although spicy, was very effective.
But he regretted it, because he felt that those two hours were a bit more, and when he took that refreshing medicine later, it didn't have much effect on him.
The other one, it can't be said that he has a high evaluation of the Wild Turtle, and this person is completely the old boss of the Wild Turtle, the head of the steam locomotive group, and the locomotive dynamics teacher of the Yao Family Academy.
Xiaolong, the turtle was originally the boss of the turtle two years ago, and the outstanding performance of the turtle at that time made Xiaolong directly promoted to a mechanic after giving the turtle an exceptional apprenticeship for half a year, and directly skipped the general worker.
The difference is that the salary is 0.5 times worse, of course, Xiaolong, like his teacher Yao Huo, is an expert in mechanics, and his love and interest in mechanics have never diminished.
But the problem is that mechanics are something that the turtle himself has to learn in addition, and there is no mechanical existence at all for the place where the turtle is going, which is full of primitive beasts and tribes of primitive people.
Not to mention that there is no machinery, even decent tools may not be available. Therefore, if you want to go west, it is impossible to equip them with any steam engines or anything like that, at most you can give them some more alpacas.
So this mechanic is also entirely out of a hobby of the tortoise for the knowledge he likes. As his teacher, Xiaolong didn't dare to go directly to Yao Ran like Hua Tuo to ask for someone.
But cats have cats, dogs, and dogs, and the night before the end of the course, Xiaolong told the turtle in a serious way if he could let him pretend to be sick or injured, and not to go west, not to mention the dangers, how much precious time was wasted by going out for a walk.
Hearing this, the turtle was moved, but after experiencing the lawsuit, the turtle clearly realized that when his status was low, he could only live under the protection of others, which was not the life that the turtle wanted.
In the end, the brute turtle rejected the kindness from Xiaolong, and handed Yao Ran a full score of three with a partial subject, and a just passing grade was called in front of Yao Ran.
The one who just passed is agriculture and animal husbandry. Because this course is too boring for a science and engineering man who likes the logic of machinery.
