Chapter 1 Sergeant Students
"I've crossed! Wrong...... I'm reincarnated?! ”
The early morning sun poured into the small stone room, and on the wooden bed that occupied most of the small room, a boy with a beautiful face suddenly woke up and sat up, still recalling the memories of his past life that he had suddenly recalled in his dream last night, muttering to himself with a shocked face.
He is Charlene Karl, and he is also Charin.
In his previous life, Xia Lin was a key undergraduate graduate of the Department of Daoqiao, and later changed careers in the science and engineering industry many times because of the beatings of reality and his own interests.
Steel factory technician, textile factory small management, chemical plant sales, in addition to biology and the environment, Xia Lin's footprints are all over the science and engineering sinkhole.
In the end, Xia Lin, who was prosperous in the sales position, saw that the RV was promising, but he went to the forum to fill the water after an all-night overtime, and died suddenly in his post while arguing with others about technical details.
Eventually, Charin was reincarnated into this world and became Charlene Karl, a boy born in the slums of Hurgana, the imperial capital of the Sassen Empire. And in last night's dream, I unexpectedly awakened the memory of my past life.
After some intense mental activity and reluctantly accepting the status quo, Xia Lin suddenly remembered something again, and set his eyes on the desk that was only two steps away from his wooden bed.
There was a new, gray robe, and on top of it, neatly folded, was a letter that had not yet been opened.
You don't need to open Xia Lin to guess the content inside, it is nothing more than congratulating yourself on completing your studies and being recruited by the army to become a glorious military mage.
When and where did he go to the northern army station in the royal capital to report, and then went to the northern border to serve there for a full ten years to repay the loan of the sergeant.
"Fifteen days."
Xia Lin hurriedly stepped forward and opened the envelope, the contents were indeed not much different from what he imagined, and the time left by the northern army was fifteen days.
Fifteen days later, if he could not scrape together the huge sum of fifteen gold lundes, he would set out on his way to fight the deadly religious lunatics in the northwest.
As for the survival rate...... Just look at the Royal Academy of Magic in the Imperial Capital every year, more than a hundred sergeant students are enrolled, but since forty years ago, only a dozen or so military mages have set foot in this prosperous place again.
Silently thinking about the way to take out these fifteen gold lunds in fifteen days, Xia Lin felt that he could still salvage it.
A graduate of the Royal Academy of Magic, Charin Karl mastered the six zero-ring spells of Heating, Cleansing, Arrowfall, Omen, Recording, and Mage's Hand, as well as the three one-ring spells of Fire Arrow, Mage Armor, and Writing Scroll.
In addition to making time to learn the Mage's Hand and Cleanliness himself, he is a standard academy graduate template.
By the way, as a one-in-a-million mage, he automatically obtained the knighthood of the Sassen Empire after graduation, which can be said to be completely separated from the urban poor class where he was born.
As an old salted fish struggling in the sinkhole of science and technology, and not forgetting to fill water and brag on a forum every day, Xia Lin has mastered the relevant knowledge of science and engineering industries such as papermaking, gunpowder, textiles, dyes, machinery, smelting, construction, inorganic chemicals, and some organic chemicals.
In this world, which is similar to the feudal era of Europe in the previous life, it is definitely a rare industrial talent.
I think that as long as I give full play to my advantages and earn money equivalent to almost 200,000 yuan in my previous life in fifteen days, there is still a little possibility.
Getting up from the only wooden stool in the dormitory, Xia Lin began to pace, brainstorming in his mind, and began to think about the industry to start with.
The imperial capital of the Sassen Empire, Hurgana, was located at the junction of two branches of the Sein, the mother river of the empire, and the terrain was surrounded by endless plains and a few rolling hills.
In this fertile field, the estates of the emperor and nobles cultivated wheat, rice, soybeans, flax, cotton, orchid, madder, safflower, sumac and other crops.
Benefiting from its strategic location and fertile plains, Hurgana developed a thriving commercial and handicraft industry, the most dominant of which was undoubtedly the textile industry.
The cotton and linen guilds, textile guilds, dye guilds, and tailor guilds in the city were each large guilds with nearly 1,000 members, and these guilds were also a force to be reckoned with in a feudal city with a population of about 600,000.
For example, Xia Lin's mother, when she couldn't get a job as a laundry worker, would turn into a spinning worker, using the squeaky hand-spinning machine at home to slowly spin the roving yarn she had received from the Chamber of Commerce into fine yarn and hand it back, and then earn a meager salary of five copper pesas per pound.
All he had to do was draw a drawing of Jenny's spinning machine and pitch his talent to a well-paid and generous textile executive.
With a detailed plan in mind, and by the way, three backup plans B, C, and D were prepared, Xia Lin sat down at the table, took out a dipping pen and parchment paper, and began to draw drawings.
There are also two courses in the road and bridge major, geometry and engineering drawing, but the specifications and standards of engineering drawing are very different from those in the machinery industry.
Fortunately, Xia Lin had learned the specifications of mechanical drawing when he changed careers, and the foundation in college was still there, so he only adapted to it for a while, and began to draw with a square wooden block at the foot of the bed as a ruler.
The principle of Jenny spinning machine is very simple, compared with traditional spinning machines, it is actually to put the spindles vertically, reasonably plan the space, so that people can process multiple spindles at the same time.
It is mainly composed of a wooden frame, a roving bobbin, a movable tension bar, a crank runner and a belt, a drum and a small runner connected to the drum, and a vertical spindle connected to the drum by a knot structure.
These wooden components are not difficult to process, and can be made by any carpenter, which is why in the previous life, the Jenny spinning machine was able to flourish in England during the Industrial Revolution.
I don't have all kinds of drawing tools at hand, so even a macho man who can draw straight lines and circles with his bare hands can only put pen to paper carefully.
After all, in the Sassen Empire, where the illiteracy rate is more than 90% and there is no plant fiber papermaking process, five pieces of parchment paper need one silver mar, which is almost equivalent to 130 RMB in the previous life.
As a child born in a slum where the imperial capital is farther west than the western district, Xia Lin now has no capital to waste.
At dusk, the brightness of the sunlight gradually dimmed, but Xia Lin was unconsciously immersed in drawing drawings, and it was not until his doorbell was rang that he came back to his senses in a trance.
Rubbing his sore eyes, Xia Lin got up and opened the heavy soundproof wooden door, and what came into his eyes was a boy with brown and blonde hair, he was wearing a knee-length robe, with a triumphant look, and the style of the robe was the one in the package that Xia Lin received at noon today.
“……”
Xia Lin thought for a while before he found the existence of this man in his memory, Harper Cole, the son of a tailor in the imperial capital, who was a sergeant like himself.
This is a normal thing, after all, in this world, the cost of learning magic is not low, so most of the children of the civilian class will accept the sergeant contract of the northern military after being detected with magical talents.
Fifteen gold lunts are almost the savings that a commoner has saved by a lifetime of hard work, so it is basically impossible for a non-commissioned officer to escape the fate of becoming a military mage.
