Chapter 8: Promotion to the Second Order Transcendental

"Pylo, let the machine shop make these parts as quickly as possible, and give them to me by tonight."

At lunchtime, Ron handed Pylo a list of the various parts and specifications marked on it.

"Okay, young master, I'll arrange it."

Pyro took the list and rushed straight to the machine shop.

In the afternoon, as soon as he woke up from a nap, Pyro had already rushed back with the parts on the list.

Ron didn't go to the study and went straight into the workshop with the parts.

Using a universal tool, he began assembling the parts, and soon a gearbox was assembled.

The Steam Mechanic profession requires a ritual to move from a first-tier repairman to a second-tier modder.

Not a mystical ritual.

It is only necessary to invent or modify a mechanical structure, or add a function to a mechanical device, in the presence of everyone.

If you can do this, and get the approval of everyone, you can be promoted to the second order.

Sounds simple.

It's actually simpler.

Even if you add a lot of snake and convert the same good equipment into waste, as long as everyone agrees, you can still advance.

Are there any downsides to cheating like this?

No.

It's just a ritual, it's also a promotion, and the ability is no different.

However, everyone is doing this, who will study technology well, so in order to select talents, the Steam and Machinery Sect has launched another promotion ceremony.

The jury of sectarian members will not be spectators, and the Forbidden Difference Machine will be used as a technical review, and once the technology you bring out passes both audits, then you can get a special ability from the god of steam and machines.

This special ability does not belong to the extraordinary ability that you naturally possess after upgrading, and can only be given through this advancement method.

Ron built a gearbox to gain this special ability.

Why so sure.

The main reason is that his continuously variable speed technology is a civilian technology.

"Rest today."

After assembling the gearbox, Ron took the maids to play.

Don't study anymore.

I've read almost all the books I should read.

If you want to continue your research, you can either go to Earth to read the relevant literature, or go to the Steam and Mechanic Sect to exchange your contributions for the relevant inheritance.

He can't do either at the moment, so he has to rest.

Following.

Ron got up and washed and dressed while the maid served.

Today is the day of his promotion, so he is dressed quite handsomely, and his hair is waxed.

After breakfast.

Ron takes Pylo on a ride to the Cult of Steam and Mechanics.

He went to West to communicate with him first, and Pyro went to apply for a promotion ceremony.

"Uncle West."

"Little Ron is here, why did you go out today, is there something wrong?"

When West saw Ron, he asked teasingly.

"It's okay, I've digested the ability of the repairman, and I'm here to advance today."

Ron didn't care about West's teasing at all.

Now the entire rule circle of Mesoud City already knows that the new head of the Witt family, His Excellency Ron, the Viscount of the Duchy, has transformed his home into a fortress because he is afraid of death.

Then he hid at home and did not come out, nor did he participate in any aristocratic drinking parties and activities.

He has now become a joke among the aristocracy.

A month ago, West came to the door and asked him if he had offended anyone or encountered any difficulties.

The answer was...... Simply afraid of death.

"To advance?"

West was startled when he heard this, and quickly took out a mechanical detection disc and said to him, "Put your hand on it." ”

Ron knew that this was the device to detect the level of contamination of the soul.

But he was able to ascend so quickly, and as a result of his hard work, he didn't have to worry about soul pollution at all.

He put his hand on the device.

The mechanical scale points to a position of 5 degrees.

This means that his soul pollution is only 5%, and there is still a long way to go from the 30% tipping point.

"Looks like you've been working hard this time."

West said with relief when he saw the scale displayed by the hands.

He thought that it would not be easy for Ron to reach the advanced standard in three months, but he didn't expect him to be ahead of schedule.

A month earlier and a month later does not indicate how talented you are, but it can represent the level of hard work.

"Alright, the Witt family needs a high-level mechanic."

Ron replied decently.

"Well, you're here today to apply for a special advancement ceremony?"

"Yes, my butler has already gone to apply, and I hope Uncle West will be there then."

"Confident in yourself?"

"Well, I think it's fine."

"What else to apply for, come with me, I'll take you to find someone."

After West finished speaking, he took Ron to call someone.

Originally, a second-order advanced ceremony did not need to be in charge of a person at the level of a bishop.

As a result, West did it.

Not only did he have a bishop, but he also forced other high-ranking members of the Steam and Machine Sect to participate.

Ron looked at the group of people in front of him, a little stressed.

Take a deep breath.

Take the stage.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you all for coming to my promotion ceremony.

Next, I will introduce you to a completely new mechanical technology, continuously variable gear. ”

Ron began to work on the technical principle of continuously variable transmission, and took out the gearbox that was assembled yesterday and demonstrated it on the spot.

All the members of the jury were randomly pulled out as mechanical experts.

When they listened to the principle of continuously variable gear, they instantly understood the key to it.

After listening to this, West was also relieved.

With this continuously variable speed technology, Ron can definitely pass the review of the Taboo Differential Machine.

As for the jury, that's not what he said.

After Ron finished explaining thoroughly, everyone also applauded face.

"What do you think of this design?"

West asked with a smile as he looked at the jury around him.

"Very good, very clever design."

"Very good, it solves the problem of continuous change of gear ratio."

"This kind of civilian technology suitable for promotion is very worthy of commendation......"

The members of the jury all gave high praises.

"Ron, pass the blueprints to the Difference Machine and review them." West said to Ron.

"Okay."

Ron pulls out the drawings he had prepared and uploads them to the Difference Machine.

The next second.

The technical audit was passed, and there was also a professional contract.

With this contract, he can exclusively enjoy the patent for continuously variable transmission for fifty years.

But at this time, Ron didn't care about this, he was feeling the changes in his body.

At the moment of passing the differential review.

The transcendent power in his body began to surge, and the invisible bottleneck disappeared.

At this moment, he became a second-order transcendent.

The second-order class of the steam mechanic class system is the modder, and the supernatural ability is the fusion of mechanical transformation and metal.

But he also has a supernatural ability.

Bionic machinery.
