Chapter 1023: It's better to go out and play
On the first day of rest in October, there are no clouds and a gentle breeze, so it is good to go out and go rowing.
The mouth of the Dun River is more than 100 meters wide, and like the estuaries of many of the island's major rivers, a barrage was built here to ensure that the water level is high enough and to prevent tidal intrusion when the water level drops severely.
If Charles was thrown into the water, he could see the name of his ancestor carved into one of the rocks of the dam.
As soon as the morning fog lifted, many people gathered in and around the wooden auditoriums on both sides of the mouth of the Dun River.
Professor Erbach is under a lot of pressure today, and it seems to him that it is all caused by Charles.
In mid-September, while Charles and his classmates were working hard for a new rowing, the inaugural issues of several magazines, including Magic, went on sale.
And then I don't know how Charles's girl operates, and during this time a group of old fellows have come to the Knowledge City and almost fought in order to get their papers published in the next month's magazine.
In the wizarding world, when it comes to Erbach's level of teaching them, everyone is in a big circle, and everyone knows what to say a few crooked words.
Soon the old fellows knew that the Magic magazine was the work of the current Earl of Maccaden, and that the day-to-day affairs were taken care of by their suspected lover, a red-haired girl, Tarantura.
The old guys naturally didn't go to Tarantura, they found Ru Cabbage under the banner of Grandpa Ru's old classmates and old friends, and then they were so annoyed that Ru Cabbage found an excuse to slip away, and happened to go to Abyss City to be busy with naval funds.
Charles Medivan lived in seclusion during this time, except for testing the rowing test, he did not leave the dormitory, and ordered takeout for three meals a day, so as not to be caught by himself.
The little one ran away, and the old guys poured their anger on his headmaster's head, so the old guys came to watch the game today to witness the birth of the three consecutive defeats of the Shield Bridge Academy.
In order to prevent the principals from fighting, the auditoriums of Dunqiao College and Niudu College were located on both sides of the Dun River, and Professor Erbach's side was deserted, and the principals of Niudu College on the other side were surrounded by a group of big people who were stomping their feet and trembling in a place, which was very lively.
Although the principal had learned that the new boat had run at an unprecedented speed during the sea test, he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was not very sure.
"Charles, come here!"
The person in charge of the rowing project was called by the principal.
Charles could only gently rub the head of the little sister next to him, telling her to wait for him, and then walked to the top of the audience.
Professor Erbach asked him in a low voice, "Is the boat all right?
Charles held back a smile and said confidently: "It's definitely no problem, didn't you check with us this morning." β
"The Earl of Maccaden even used a family heirloom, and he would do it if he didn't have the confidence?"
The heirloom he was talking about was actually a finger-sized fluorescent water magic crystal taken out of the underground palace a while ago, which he lent to the academy in the name of the Earl of Maccaden, and shocked everyone present, from students to the principal.
For Brother Glasses, Leo and other members of the royal family, such superb magic crystals are used in the magic gathering array in the secret room of the palace, and they will only be used to amplify the trick when they are destroyed or want to destroy other countries, and they have never seen the Earl of McCaden take them out and put them on the table casually.
As for the others, they have only seen it in books, and it is the first time they have seen it in kind.
At that time, Charles was thinking that if he opened his own stall, each person would receive a gold coin after touching this superb magic crystal for two minutes, which was estimated to feed Artoria.
With plenty of energy, the students who participated in the development of the boat decided that it was impossible to lose today's race, and just pushed the power lever to the end.
Professor Erbach said, "I don't know the bottom of my heart. β
Charles pursed his lips and said, "If you lose this year, you can find a plane to tow the boat next year." β
The old headmaster angrily drove the guy away.
Charles returned to his seat, took out a bag of peanuts and handed it to his little sister.
People who knew him were very surprised, when did this thing come out with a sister who looked like a village girl.
Charles didn't bother to explain, and as soon as he explained his identity, he was revealed.
At this time, the race was ready to begin, and with a long horn sound, the boats that were doing the final checks on the shore began to enter the water.
The students of Shield Bridge Academy looked at their opponent's ship one after another, and they all talked about it.
The engine of the Niudu College rowing boat has been replaced, and its appearance looks similar to the speedboat engine in someone's hometown, "??????" type.
Charles was most concerned about the structure of the propeller, which looked similar to what he had seen in his previous life, and it seemed that Niudu Academy had put a lot of effort into it.
This is a joy for him, and he does not feel that waterjets can be applied to all ships, and it is more conducive to the development of technology to give the world an option.
It's just that the stern of the ship of Niudu Academy is full of eight engines, which is a bit exaggerated.
The ship-savvy students of the Shield Bridge Academy were quickly analyzing their opponents.
In the audience, Brother Glasses pushed his glasses and said to his fiancΓ©e, his childhood sweetheart: "Although the boat on the opposite side has many engines, the hull is still wooden, and the power it can withstand is limited. β
"Our boat is mainly a steel structure that I designed to withstand much more force than wood, so we won. β
At last, a heavyweight guest arrived at the VIP table on Professor Erbach's side, and He Dou Dagger sat next to the principal. These two senior brothers, Hedou Dagger will definitely come to cheer for his buddies today.
It's just that He Dou Dagger drank too much last night and got up a little late.
He focused on rowing at Niudu Academy in a different way.
"The boat at Niudu Academy won't work. He shook his head and said, "Whether the steering is actually controlled by the rudder or by manpower, isn't it a lack of beating, so many engines are blind in vain." β
There are many people who are as speechless as him, because after the rowing boat of Niudu Academy was launched, several students held a "??" The rudder of the type was attached.
He Dou Dagger looked at Charles, who had just been caught by himself, and asked, "Can you see any doorways?"
Charles said: "According to what I've got, Niudu College originally had five engines on the rowing boat, and the turning was turned by the engines. β
"After we got the boat exposed, they urgently improved it and added three engines, but the metal fixing bracket at the stern had to be changed, and there was no way to turn by turning with the engine steering. β
"Now their ship still holds the metal bracket of the engine nailed to the wooden keel, and I guess now there is an extra nail added, I hope it doesn't fall apart. β
