Chapter 158: The Age of Youth
When Wen Jiming saw his third apprentice, Jiang Sheng, he was very pleased with the choice he had made.
Jiang Sheng is only about a year younger than Wen Jiming, and he will be eighteen years old by March next year.
Wen Jiming, who is already a legend, can naturally see that although the young man in front of him is weak, the magic in his body is still very active.
This shows that this teenager is born with a very strong adaptability to magic and communication skills.
When Jiang Sheng offered his apprenticeship, Wen Jiming said to Mrs. Jiang.
"Jiang Sheng has been living in my mansion since today, his body is still relatively weak, I will ask someone to formulate a specific recipe for him, and he needs to practice near the Divine Flower every day, so that he can absorb magic energy faster, which is very beneficial to his body and cultivation."
Mrs. Jiang naturally couldn't ask for this, and being able to be accepted as a personal disciple by His Majesty the Emperor was a result that their husband and wife never dreamed of.
So, Jiang Sheng started his cultivation life in Wen Jiming's mansion from this day.
Wen Jiming's teaching style was completely open-ended, and he threw Jiang Sheng a large pile of magic books on the first day, and then said to his newest disciple.
"First understand this magic theory knowledge, come to me when you learn it, and then we will continue to teach the next step."
According to his assumption, it would take Jiang Sheng ten days and half a month to finish reading these books on magical knowledge, but he didn't expect that Jiang Sheng only spent five days to finish reading these books, and he had roughly integrated the theories in the books.
When Wen Jiming saw Jiang Sheng on the sixth day, he didn't look surprised, after all, he had seen a lot of people with very strong comprehension skills before, so he was already a little used to these good students, so he handed Jiang Sheng a magic book again.
"Memorize all the spells in this, and then try to draw the spell structure diagram of these spells yourself until you are proficient."
After finishing speaking, Wen Jiming took out a brand-new blank magic book and said to Jiang Sheng.
"This is the magic book I made for you, and after you confess the Lord, it will become your own magic book. Every time you learn a spell, copy it down in this magic book, and then you can use it flexibly. ”
The magic book that Wen Jiming handed to Jiang Sheng first was just all the basic spells and first-level spells.
The book was actually a hodgepodge of spells not only for warlocks, but also for magicians and priests.
But Jiang Sheng didn't know these details, and after he went back, he began to recite these spells desperately, and began to try to describe the spell structure of these spells.
Winter is coming, and the time has entered December.
On this day, the weather outside was quite cold, and the temperature had dropped to minus five degrees.
In the new city of magic, all the trees planted on the side of the road have already lost their leaves, and only the bare branches remain, swaying from side to side with the icy cold wind.
However, in the place of the divine flower in the backyard of Wen Jiming's mansion, it is still full of spring at this time!
Wen Jiming was here very early and built a huge greenhouse for the Divine Flower, so that the Divine Flower could be guaranteed to bloom all year round.
The elves also planted a lot of flowers and trees in this big greenhouse, making this greenhouse completely turned into a huge flower garden.
Jiang Sheng was sitting cross-legged in front of the Divine Flower at this time and was cultivating, and he was completely settled at this time, so that he would no longer be disturbed by the outside environment.
The elves are now busy among the flowers, leaving only the baby flower elves and the little ball ball, playing with each other in the greenhouse.
The baby flower fairy has grown up a bit now, and is now as tall as a small ball.
She had learned some simple words, and finally stopped babbling and spoke a Martian language that only she understood.
After the two little things frolicked with each other for a while, they finally noticed Jiang Sheng sitting in front of the divine flower, so they ran in front of him together.
Xiao Qiuqiu first yelled at Jiang Sheng twice, and after finding that there was no response, he began to stretch out his little paw and pull out Jiang Sheng's leg, but it turned out that he was still motionless.
So it turned its head and barked at the baby flower elf, and then the little naughty one began to grab Jiang Sheng's clothes and climb above his head.
Finally, the little thing climbed onto Jiang Sheng's shoulder, and then she lay on Jiang Sheng's ear and shouted milkily.
"Get up!"
At the same moment when she shouted, Jiang Sheng's whole body suddenly brightened!
The little thing was startled by the sudden appearance of the magical light, and one fell off Jiang Sheng's shoulder without standing firmly!
"Yikes!"
The baby flower elf screamed in fright and closed her eyes in fright.
At this moment, the miniature wings behind the little thing suddenly opened up and began to flapping automatically!
The baby flower elf closed her eyes for a long time, and she didn't feel that she had fallen to the ground, so she opened her eyes, only to find that she was still floating in mid-air.
She glanced back, only to notice that her wings were constantly flapping, and then she tried to fly forward, and sure enough, she flew a few meters forward, and the baby began to get excited.
She sped forward as she screamed.
"Stamping!"
Obviously, this sentence was obviously learned from the little devil.
"Stamping! Ah! ”
The little thing was too excited to fly, and it directly bumped into the towering chest of a girl who came in from outside!
Karina hugged the baby who had been bounced off by herself. Said with a smile.
"Oops, babies can fly, awesome!"
Jiang Sheng had already opened his eyes at this time, and he had already woken up from his meditation.
When he saw Karina come in, he quickly stood up from the ground and saluted Karina.
"Good morning, wife!"
After Karina saw Jiang Sheng, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Xiaosheng, upgraded so quickly? Looks like you're learning well from your master! ”
Karina's words made Jiang Sheng a little confused, and before he could ask, Wen Jiming and Jiang Yan both walked in from outside.
When Wen Jiming saw Jiang Sheng's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Okay, Xiaosheng, you actually advanced."
Then he turned his head and praised Jiang Yan.
"Your Jiang family is going to produce a great magician, and at the same time a great magician, hey, wait!"
After that, Wen Jiming came to Jiang Sheng and observed him carefully.
"No, your priesthood is the most talented! Oh my God, I actually have an apprentice of a third-line initiate! ”
Jiang Yan was overjoyed when she heard Wen Jiming's words, and immediately rushed over and hugged Jiang Sheng's head and kissed it.
Because don't look at Jiang Yan is now more than 700 years old, but in terms of generation, Jiang Sheng should be her nephew, mainly the ancestor of Jiang Quan's family, and is the youngest cousin of Jiang Yan's grandfather, and Jiang Sheng's generation is still in Wufu.
The Jiang family has always belonged to the longevity family since ancient times, and they themselves are all cultivators, so they have lived a lot longer, so this very rare phenomenon has been caused.
It is precisely because of this relationship that Mrs. Jiang will confidently ask Jiang Yan for help.
Jiang Sheng was also stupid, he didn't even know when he was upgraded, not to mention that he heard from Wen Jiming's mouth that he was actually a third-line initiate.
Wen Jiming himself was also very happy, but he didn't expect that the idea he thought of temporarily would bring him an apprentice of the three lines of initiates, and from the current point of view, this apprentice is the most promising one among his three apprentices.
The age of the great apprentice when he started cultivating was not young, unless he could be promoted to the rank of legend, otherwise he would stop at about the twelfth or third level in this life.
As for his second apprentice, it is estimated that the promotion speed will not be very fast, after all, those young people currently prefer to study science more, and they are not very keen on promoting their rank.
Before Wen Jiming could praise Jiang Sheng, a magic mirror suddenly opened in front of him, and the old mage Herodotus said to Wen Jiming in the mirror.
"Wen, you hurry up and come over now, your apprentice has figured out the engine principle of the testing machine, if there is no problem, we can build the testing machine immediately!"
Is today my lucky day?
The good news is coming one after another, and it's a bit dizzying.
Wen Jiming didn't say a word, he was anxious and directly cast a fixed-point portal spell, directly opened a portal and walked in with his legs raised, and then disappeared in a flash.
"Wow!"
The flower elf baby and Jiang Sheng were amazed by this strange scene that happened in front of their eyes at the same time.
After Wen Jiming walked out of his portal, he appeared directly in the square of the Magic Research Institute, he ignored the stunned expressions of everyone around him, and walked briskly towards the second floor of the laboratory.
After he opened the door of Aristock's laboratory, he found that the old mage Herodotus and Aristock were both present at the same time, and Herodotus saw Wen Jiming coming in, so he pointed to a model on the ground and said.
"Your apprentice Wei Wu and two apprentices of Aristock formed a research team together, and after more than a year of research, they finally figured out the principle of those engines you conjured, which is the engine model they designed with the magic power generator to finalize."
Wen Jiming looked at it carefully, but he didn't know anything about aviation technology, so he couldn't see anything, so he used his talent for perfection to try to see if he could improve the model.
As the white light lit up, there were some slight changes in the engine model, and Wen Jiming hurriedly said to his second apprentice, Wei Wu.
"Xiao Wu, come over and see if those places have changed, can you understand it."
Wei Wu, Li Quan, and Zhang Zhao, the three young people, hurriedly walked over to them and took a closer look.
The three of them muttered while recording on paper with a pen, and in less than a few minutes, Wei Wu stopped his record and said to Wen Jiming.
"Teacher, we've all figured it out, it's basically some small improvements, we've all figured out the principle!"
"That's good, Xiao Wu, the three of you are good, well done!"
After praising his apprentice, Wen Jiming turned back to Aristock and asked Aristock.
"So when will the experimental models be made, and how much budget is needed for each testing machine, do you have specific figures?"
Aristock took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Wen Jiming.
Wen Jiming opened the note and saw a detailed list of required materials and an approximate budget figure written on it.
"So cheap? An experimental aircraft is less than a thousand gold dollars? ”
Helpless, Aristock had no choice but to explain to Wen Jiming.
"This test aircraft can only be used for flight experiments, and the weapons and equipment and additional facilities of the aircraft have not been added, and I estimate that the real physical aircraft will cost more than 3,000 gold yuan, and it is very likely to exceed 5,000 gold yuan!"
Even more than 500,000 is not expensive! Think about the fighter jets on the planet that cost less than a million dollars?
But Wen Jiming couldn't explain to these people from another world, so he had to say.
"Let's not be afraid to spend money, it's 100,000 gold dollars for a fighter jet, we also want to get it, and from this basis, we can study astronautics, don't you want to travel around the world in a space battleship? How can that warship cost millions of gold dollars, or even more than 10 million gold dollars? ”
Aristock was also ignited by Wen Jiming's incitement, and he finally made up his mind.
"Well, since we don't have to worry about spending more money, let's use better and stronger materials, and it just so happens that the team they went out to explore has found a lot of rare mineral deposits, and one of the very important mineral deposits is in the area under the jurisdiction of your new apprentice and his father."
Wen Jiming didn't know about the aluminum mine, so he asked strangely.
"My new apprentice? Do you mean Jiang Sheng's father, Jiang Quan? He is the prefect of Liang Guofu, what did you find there? ”
Aristock replied.
"A staggering amount of high-quality aluminum, which you may not know, can be combined with other metals to make a very light but very strong alloy that is perfect for making our aircraft!"
Aluminum alloy is a good thing that everyone on earth knows!
However, this is the first time Wen Jiming has heard that there is such a metal in his own territory, and it is also a large mineral deposit!
So Wen Jiming said with some eagerness,
"Then what are you waiting for, immediately arrange for someone to go over and set up a factory, and establish an entire aluminum alloy industrial system in the local area, and build a comprehensive industrial base for mining, smelting, and processing."
Aristock nodded.
"We think so too, so we have sent a report to the cabinet, if you are in a hurry, you can watch it yourself and urge them to hurry up."
Wen Jiming said immediately after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll go to the Cabinet Office and urge them now!"
After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, and the old mage Herodotus hurriedly stopped Wen Jiming.
"Wait a minute, don't leave in a hurry, there are a few more things here. The first thing is about setting up a new lab, and we're going to set up a dedicated electronics lab, because the things that you're providing are basically electronics, and we think there's a lot that can be developed here. ”
"So we have to set up a special research institute to be responsible for this work, and we need you to change some more things for us to refer to and study, especially those various meters and monitors, as well as automatic computing products."
Wen Jimingxin said, just get out the computer and mobile phone and the like, so in the next twenty minutes, Aristock's laboratory once again began to flash white light that was already familiar to the personnel of the Magic Research Institute!
When Wen Jiming came out of the Magic Research Institute, he went directly to the cabinet office building of the central government.
That is, at the same time that Wen Jiming entered the cabinet office building, in the teleportation hall of the magic new city, a group of people teleported from Kansa City arrived, and among this group of people, there was a very young professional.
Yuri Ulyanov, an eighth-order magician from the continent of Corleon.
The Continent of Corleone is a planet located in the central region, this continent is located on the periphery of the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and it is a continent with a good magical environment.
Yuri Ulyanov was born into a family of magicians, he is only twenty-five years old this year, but he is already an eighth-order magician, and from this point of view, this young mage is definitely a very talented magician.
The reason why Yuri himself came to the magic new city of Saturn is because he himself is a crazy admirer of Wen Jiming, and he is also an avid fan of magical engineering, and he loves songs, poetry, literature, and drinking very much, from which it is not difficult to see why he admires Wen Jiming.
However, what everyone didn't know was that because of Yuri's arrival, the technology of the Ming Empire began to advance by leaps and bounds again, and after Yuri, many excellent young people began to flock to the new city of magic.
An era for young people has already begun!
