Chapter 118: Leonardo da Vinci's Naturalization Exam...

Two days later, after Muller's special training, Steve mastered the most basic combat reactions and tactical movements, and barely achieved an average of 5 rings of 'excellent' results in target shooting!

With advanced equipment, Ted didn't think his personal safety should be too much of a threat.

Moreover, the guards who accompanied him were all carefully selected soldiers from the army, all of them were smart and calm, so as not to mess things up.

Although the spies and spies who came with Steve were all arrested and thrown into the dungeon, human beings rely on one mouth to say things, as long as they throw the pot to the 'horse bandits' in the northern Gobi, it all makes sense~

Because of the appearance of the horse bandits, everyone resisted desperately, and in the end, only a few people escaped!

As for credibility, it doesn't reach a full score, but it can also make others not doubt ~

In the eyes of the people in the middle of the empire, the northern realm is a bitter cold land, where robbers are rampant! Want to get there without shedding a layer of skin... It's completely impossible!

But in fact, the horse bandit or something is dead, and he was taken out by the special operations team sent by Ted 1 month ago! The money obtained was also confiscated, so... Now the north is safer than anywhere else!

After all, the soldiers can fight ten with one loaded gun, which is more than enough to deal with the enemy with cold weapons.

After a few days of training, Ted's opinion of Steve has changed again, and he may be more witty than he seems, more calm than he thinks! As for why this happened, Ted didn't take into account that Steve did it on purpose!

Pride from within makes Ted think that Steve is not as good as himself, but willing to learn! These are all MΓΌller's teaching successes!

Later, after hearing Mueller's comments, he even felt that Steve didn't need so much life-saving equipment and could be cut appropriately to keep it light~

But as the saying goes, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, no matter what preparation you make before your life is in danger, it is not too much! Instead of betting on Steve's unreliable sixth sense, it is better to honestly put a thick layer of steel on the 'skin' and stack more armor to increase his survival rate.

Because he is facing a group of power fanatics who will stab them in the back at any time.

In addition, the Pope is also a big threat, no one knows what crazy things this magic stick will do, if it causes chaos in the world at the right time, then Steve's equipment will come in handy!

Looking at Steve's back, Ted let out a long sigh, turned to Leonardo da Vinci and said, "It seems that sometimes, the prince is not a good job!" ”

Leonardo da Vinci had voluntarily followed Steve to the North, he was a free man, and no one except the Pope cared where an inconsequential 'knight' was?

Leonardo da Vinci closed the workbook in his hand, crossed his hands over his chest, showed a relaxed expression, and responded with a long sigh: "Yes, I sometimes think that it is better to be a knight honestly, although I am not a hereditary nobleman, but the burden on my shoulders is much smaller, so I am very happy..."

"yes... I'm not easy to be an earl..."As for whether it is easy or not, only Ted himself knows, under Chris's propaganda, everyone thinks that Ted is a hard-working person who only sleeps six hours for three days! Conscientious lords...

After saying this, Ted unexpectedly found the review materials in Leonardo da Vinci's hand, and also remembered the fame he had made, so he asked casually: "How is it?" How prepared is the citizenship test? The exam is tomorrow..."

Da Vinci didn't mind this question at all, he raised his hand to open the notebook in his hand, and showed the notes made in it to Ted: "The exam seems to be me, I personally think there is no problem, and the preparation is also sufficient!" ”

Since finding his parents, Leonardo da Vinci has often talked about them: "According to the teachings of my parents and the help of my siblings, it is not difficult to solve these tests, besides, you know me before!" Now I am not only free from the identity of the Virgin, but also complete my revenge! ”

Such words came out of Leonardo da Vinci's mouth, which really surprised Ted, after all, this man was the Virgin before, and even if the enemy held a knife to his neck, he would forgive them without hesitation...

To make sure Leonardo da Vinci wasn't joking, Ted deliberately raised his voice: "Revenge? What do you mean..."

Leonardo da Vinci swore that "sooner or later, I will throw that Pope into the quarry with my own hands and let him be tortured to!" And I, every day, I will take people to laugh at him..."

To this extent, in Ted's view, it is not revenge at all, but more like a petty fight, but for Leonardo da Vinci, this is progress, a step away from the Virgin!

But that's not enough! So Ted still mentioned in passing: "This is revenge? You're too kind, aren't you..."

Leonardo da Vinci seemed to have expected Ted to answer like this, but in fact, he also hid part of his intentions: "There are still a few steps, I will keep them secret for the time being, but you will know sooner or later." ”

Seeing Leonardo da Vinci's mysterious appearance, Ted no longer thought about what would happen next, but shifted his thoughts to the 'Northern Naturalization Test' again.

In order to distance himself from the empire and the feudalism of the old era, Chris did what Ted asked him to do, and according to the political books of the 22nd century.

In order to prevent enemy spies from infiltrating, everyone who wants to settle in the north must go through a lot of screening, and finally have to complete a 'naturalization test'.

This naturalization test is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is simple.

The values have to coincide with the ideas of Ted or other dignitaries, at least 7 percent! And it is not anyone else who marks the papers, but all public servants above the third level.

That is, Ted, Chris, and the members of the think tank.

Ted would hardly have time to read the papers, and Chris had other things to do, so he had to let the third-level civil servants handle the naturalization exam.

The members of the think tank are selected from the first excellent families, and there is nothing wrong with taking on these tasks.

Ted's original philosophy is the only one that these people can accept best!

"I wish you success in your exams and officially join us in the North and become a citizen of the North~"

"Of course, I passed the exam and went home..."

Leonardo da Vinci was originally born in the north, but because of a moment of negligence and rampant human traffickers in the middle of the empire, he has been living abroad for many years!

This is considered a return~

...

The next day at noon.

Leonardo da Vinci confidently walked out of the city hall, as if the difficulty of the naturalization test was nothing for him...

In order to find out if Leonardo da Vinci has escaped the shadow of his former past, Ted plans to come and inspect his exam papers for himself.

It doesn't matter, even Ted is frightened by the answer, which is even more outrageous than the standard answer in the book...

The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, because the new train has been opened in the north, and it is also in order to combine practical things! So in the exam questions, there is the 'train problem'.

The content of the exam question is almost universally known, and there is no final answer to this question, but it depends on the individual's performance and the so-called 'standard direction' of the answer.

This question accounts for 60 points on the entire naturalization test and 10 percent of the entire test score.

And Leonardo da Vinci's answer, Ted gave a perfect score...

"A runaway train? Choose to hit five people, or one? ”

Leonardo da Vinci didn't answer the questions according to the routine at all, he directly ignored the content of the test stem, and he divided these responsibilities specifically...

"The train that is out of control must be because of the lack of maintenance or maintenance of the vehicle, first catch the lazy person and throw him in prison! But judging from the laws of the North, even if the transportation line is delayed, it will not let unqualified technicians take up their posts! ”

"Secondly, the train makes a loud noise when it enters the tracks, and these people are either deaf or deliberately looking for death, and I have had the pleasure of meeting several deaf and mute people, because they can't hear, they will live very carefully, so they will not put their fragile selves in danger... So these people are probably the second type, deliberately touching porcelain to find death. ”

"In this case, whether it is hitting 5 or 1, it is to reduce the burden on society, if I can, I will drive back again, pretend not to know anything, and kill them all, if my ability is a little greater, I will tie up the person who asked this question, and drive on him and rub it repeatedly!"

"If they were innocent and were tied up by gangsters, I don't think it's even more likely..."

"There are 10,000 ways to torture people to death in the world, and it is not the best solution to use a train to push them over, the most likely thing is that the killer wants to use this to destroy the evidence, and by the way, he is framed! And I just mentioned the lack of maintenance of the vehicle! I believe in our technicians, they are unlikely to make such an action, either... He did it on purpose! ”

"So, in the end, we just need to target the technician, or other people who have approached the train, arrest and interrogate a few words, and then find the murderer!"

Da Vinci answered this question within the range of correct answers, and every answer was answered on the point!

The rules for formulating the answer are simple!

That is, never with hindsight, to be prepared for a rainy day, this is the quality that a northern person should have, and only this approach is correct...

If the answer given is one of those 'standard answers' on Earth, Ted will give zero points directly!

Those answers are either too Mary or too 'sane'.

Originally, this was just a psychological problem, and in the final analysis, it was just a useless problem that a well-fed 'psychologist' was idle and did nothing, deliberately leaving people with nothing.

Let a group of sanctimonious scholars, in order to show the difference, give a unique answer, and even raise the question to a strange level...

If you answer sensibly and seriously, it only means that there is something wrong with your brain...

The original background of the title is that a botanist comes to an Indian tribe where 20 prisoners of a rival tribe are about to be executed, and they are all innocent!

The dictator said: "Just let the botanist shoot one prisoner, and you can release the remaining 19..."

This assumption is problematic in the first place, because dictators throughout history have been unpredictable, and what comes out of their mouths is not honest, and they may kill the remaining 19 people after you execute a prisoner.

The person who asks the question is a 'psychologist', but a dictator is a ruthless and dishonest executioner!

Going to great lengths to study the psychology of a madman will only make people laugh and be generous.

If you have to use this method to show that you are different... So... The staff will directly cross out this kind of person, and he will not be a northerner in his life...

The reason is very simple, that is, things gather in likes, people in groups, and a group of people with the same ideas can get together and send out exponential energy!

One can question or oppose, but the premise! It's that these people must conform to the universal values of the North, which is a regional characteristic and a norm, and it is also the label that Ted deliberately puts on the people of the North: 'Good but not Madonna, full of virtue but not indiscriminate violence!' ’

Such labels, for example... When I think of authentic lamb skewers, I think of people in a certain place, and when I think of stew, I think of people from another place...

This preconceived approach will make everyone lead by example! The higher the level of labeling, the more the local people will demand this.

As for the previous answer, if your answer was: choose to execute a prisoner...

Then, after you execute one prisoner, this mad dictator will probably sit on a gorgeous chair and kill 19 others with his own hands, waiting for you to look at the blood stuck to your hands and reproach yourself!

If you get depressed because of this and end up killing yourself, he will even laugh out loud and taunt you in front of all the dogs.

With such a result, you will only be ridiculed by others, and it is unrealistic to want to not care about other people's opinions, human beings are social animals, it is impossible not to care about other people's thoughts, even if you die, you have to pay attention to the impact behind you.

People can't escape death in the end, and it's better to 'keep Dan's heart and sweat green' than 'this stupid way of dying... You can also be scared to death by a tractor for saving a girl...'Great!'

The breakthrough point is not to shoot a prisoner or watch 20 people die, but to 'shoot' whom?

Ted thought the most correct answer was to take the weapon, check if the gun had been tampered with, and after making sure it was correct, he turned around and killed the dictator in front of him.

Such an answer will screen out outstanding talents who are bold and have the spirit of resistance, and dare to think outside the box, and working with such people will often have unexpected gains~

According to historical experience, as soon as a dictator dies, it is a tree that falls apart, and it only takes a few seconds for the whole tribe to become a mess, whether he has an heir or not, and his men will quickly rebel and fall into a state of struggle for power.

And you can run away at this time! Even if you unfortunately die in action, future generations will remember you, at least in the hostile tribes, you are a hero~

Rather than living with guilt, or watching 20 people being killed in front of your eyes, it's better to stud, if you win, you're a hero, if you lose...

Why lose? A botanist, still an old beauty, is he embarrassed to say that he is a cowboy when he shoots crookedly?

As a botanist, I must travel everywhere and go into the dangerous areas of the deep mountains and old forests! There are definitely multiple unexpected dangers to face, and it is very necessary to have a weapon by your side and learn some accurate shooting!

If this botanist didn't do it, it only means that he was not careful enough and not well prepared! He is not suitable to be a botanist at all, but only worthy of being a mother who touches himself.

Confucius lobbied with thousands of younger brothers in various countries, and he was full of martial virtues, and he was not afraid of others finding fault at all, if a student asked this question...

The results can be imagined.

...

Two hours later, Leonardo da Vinci came to the city hall with his previous photos and photos in the Fire Tribe, and applied for a page of the newspaper by the way!

In addition to these, he also has to apply: let the town hall recruit more talents who are good at painting and photography...

After Chris took the application, he quickly stamped it, because this article was already in the plan, and Leonardo da Vinci's plan was slightly the same as what Chris saw.

Just as Leonardo da Vinci was about to leave, Chris thought of the naturalization test and immediately called out to Da Vinci: "Wait... Leonardo da Vinci, your ID card is down, congratulations on passing the exam! ”

Chris took out his ID card and handed it to Leonardo da Vinci, and praised: "I saw your test paper, the passing line is 500 points, you got 599 points, and you are afraid that you will be proud by deducting one point, and congratulations to you, becoming the second person to successfully pass the naturalization test in the north~"

Hearing the 'second', Da Vinci was confused, obviously the naturalization exam was only open today, and he was alone when the exam came! How did you become the second?

With questions, he asked, "The second one?" Is there anyone else before me? ”

Chris had already guessed that Leonardo da Vinci would ask more: "The first one is the prince Steve, because he is going to the imperial capital today to report on his work, so he can only take the exam in advance, right!" His score is not as high as yours, it is 570 points..."

As Mayor of Valentine, Chris is careful with his words! Because Steve has not had a sense of belonging to the imperial capital for more than 30 years, not even a minute or a second!

But since coming to the North, an inexplicable sense of belonging quickly took over Steve's heart, and Chris, as a meticulous observer, certainly discovered this, so the choice of words is extremely important!

Steve is not 'back' to the imperial capital to report on his work, but to 'go' to the imperial capital to report on his work, and a slight difference in words will lead to a completely different meaning!

Of course, the careless Leonardo da Vinci didn't hear it at all, he was just more concerned about the score, so he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "May I ask, how many points did he score in the 'tram problem'?" ”

Chris remembered it, and Steve's paper was very good, and he didn't lose a single point except for this question: "He scored thirty points. He was deducted half of his marks for this question by Lord Lord... Logically speaking, there was no problem with his answer, but he was from the perspective of a feudal lord of the ruling class, so he was deducted 30 points. ”

This answer made Leonardo da Vinci even more curious: "That... What was his answer? ”

Chris still remembers this, and it was yesterday, and he took Steve's file himself.

I think his answer was more like a complaint, which was... Who came up with this question? Malfeasance! It seems that the harmonious society is to let him eat too much, it is better to exile him to other countries and let him harm others! If you have time for this cranky thinking, you might as well engage in more scientific research! No matter how good psychology is, the deterrent power it brings is not as good as a powerful cannon! ”

"Poof..."

This kind of answer is also on point, as long as the respondent shows that the questioner is an idiot and has enough to eat', it is considered to be passed. The reason for the deduction of points is only because of the phrase 'exile', which is out of touch with the people.

After all, the development of a strong country is inseparable from science, and as for psychology, it can only be the icing on the cake, not the charcoal in the snow, and in the case of limited resources, it is necessary to give priority to science...

Knowing all this, Leonardo da Vinci was no longer curious, and he wanted to make sure that his work would turn out to be a regular one: "Okay! From now on, I'll be an official citizen of the North! That... My position can be regularized, right? ”

"Of course, those who serve in the department of the town hall need the status of a citizen of the North, and I will give you a regular right now, and tomorrow you will not be the acting Minister of Culture, but the official Minister of Culture! At the same time, I would like to put you on the page of the newspaper and promote your contribution to the culture of the North! ”

"At the same time, there will be a mention of your abduction and nothing else, so don't worry! This is also done in order to step on the poor law and order in other parts of the empire, so that the people of the north will not run around after they have eaten enough... At the same time, it can also increase everyone's sympathy for you, so that others will not reject you, and you are a northerner yourself..."

Such an answer reminded Leonardo da Vinci of what happened before: "That... I ask again, if anyone who doesn't belong to the North comes here, will they be despised? Like when I came to paint before, there was always someone at the town hall who told me to 'get out of here', what are you going to do about it? ”

The humans of the North are far less tolerant of their own kind than other races! After all, there is no historical conflict between people in the north and people in other places, as long as they get along properly, there won't be much of a problem!

But... The contradictions within the empire have been going on for thousands of years and are not something that can be resolved overnight...

Since Leonardo da Vinci's identity was exposed on a small scale, he has not been discriminated against, and the people who spoke ill of him before also came to the door with gifts to apologize, and by the way, sympathized with what happened to him when he was a child.

Because he is a local himself, being abducted and trafficked was an accident, and now he is just recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.

The problem is acute and sensitive, and Chris has no good solution: "This... It is indeed a difficult problem, and there is no other way at present, because we were looked down upon by the whole empire before, and now that we are developed, we will involuntarily despise it back, and we will despise it even more ruthlessly! It's really not easy to adjust..."

"But... It's not that it's inexplicable! According to the Lord's words, we are not far ahead enough..."

Faced with this strange answer, Leonardo da Vinci put away his ID card and asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Chris himself didn't figure it out, but judging by the records of the Empire and the contents of the books, Ted's approach should work: "If we exceed a certain tipping point ahead of the rest of the Empire, anger and contempt will turn to pity..."

"It's... I don't understand..."Da Vinci was confused!

Immediately afterwards, Chris expressed his opinion: "This is a kind of despicable psychology of people, ordinary people can't see that others are better off than themselves, especially this group of people with little culture, it will be even worse!" But as education becomes more widespread, they will realize that what they are doing is not entirely right. ”

"After being educated, they look at their surroundings, not only with electric lights, but also with new cities, with powerful armies and weapons! There will be a trace of 'pity' for the people in the rest of the empire, and it is only because of the differences caused by this environment that the hatred has faded..."

"In layman's terms, that is, when you were a child, you were bitten by a dog, and now you are too strong to decide the life and death of a dog at will, will you still choose to bite back?"

"Of course not...", Da Vinci seemed to understand what Ted meant...

"I think so, because this sense of power over the weak needs to be set off by the 'weak'! In order to satisfy the vanity of the people, and the so-called 'sense of strength', people will not try to eliminate the weak, because they need to compare themselves with the weak to get satisfaction! ”

"Because after learning, everyone has become civilized, and it is no longer enough to simply conquer the world by violence! It's a little vanity! ”

"Even if you kill the dog, it can only prove that you are stronger than the dog, and your pattern is lowered because of killing the dog! It's better to keep the dog and scare it with a stick from time to time, so that you can continue to laugh at yourself..."

After listening to this answer, Leonardo da Vinci stayed where he was...

After a long time, he spoke: "You, you have a grasp of people's hearts... Is it so in place? ”

"This is not our grasp of people's hearts, but from the records in the history books, the ancestors are also wise, although the environment at the time limited their play, in the present it seems that there is a little 'retarded', but it has nothing to do with the wisdom of the ancestors, they are not stupid, worthy of our learning!"

After saying this, Chris was also a little floating, and then began to talk big: "The 20,000-year history of the empire is the same, and it has only changed a little when it comes to us." ”

"Before that, things like this were going on all the time, because it's hard for humans to learn from history, and we're always making the mistakes of our predecessors, but we... People of the new age! Can't do it again! We have to learn the lessons of our predecessors..."

After saying this, the think tank sent a thick stack of papers, and Chris couldn't continue to talk nonsense...

He picked up a copy of today's newspaper and handed it to Leonardo da Vinci: "I have to keep working, this is our first newspaper, you can take a good look at it, and give us some advice by the way..."

"No problem~" After Leonardo da Vinci took the newspaper, he came to the seat on the side, anyway, there is nothing to do today, it is better to read the newspaper here, and if you get feedback, you can immediately write it on a piece of paper and hand it to Chris.

Unfold the newspaper and the first page is full color pictures!

"Oh my God, full color? This newspaper will cost 5 copper coins! ”

[Price: 3 copper coins.] 】

"It seems that the technology has been updated a lot, and the price of pigments has fallen again!"

"I know this coke, the glass bottle and the iron lid are really good, but this kind old man always feels a little familiar... Huh! This isn't Chris's daddy, Nicholas! This outfit is quite festive..."
