Chapter 265 [Causing Controversy]
December 15th.
The Academy of Magic, the common classrooms of the Academy, the circular staircase hall.
This is where the first class of the "Magic Machines Class" begins.
Although Chen Daolin's authorization of the "Magic Machine" class was met with strong opposition when the committee passed through guΓ², the process was very difficult, and it was almost forcibly obtained by Carmen's own strength and absolute prestige.
But in fact, after this decision was passed, the various branches immediately grabbed the number of students in this new course!
Including those veterans who once opposed the authorization given to Chen Daolin in the academy committee, it seems that they have suddenly suffered from amnesia at this moment, and let the branch where they are located desperately try to coax the places.
In the end, it was Dean Carmen who stood up and made the final decision.
As the professor who started the course, Chen Daolin has the right to choose the list of students. Carmen, on the other hand, took out a quota proposed by Chen Daolin, and twenty students from the Hogwarts branch were selected.
Although the other branches expressed their dissatisfaction with such a move, Carmen blocked them all back with only one sentence:
"At the beginning, you were strongly opposed to this matter, but now you are desperately rushing up when you see the benefits?
The strangest thing about this was that the dean of the German branch, Hugo, the fat old man, did not say a word during the whole course of the incident, and did not say anything at all.
It was precisely because the second-in-command in the academy after Carmen did not speak, that Carmen's resolution was not strongly hindered.
However, Hugo's unexpected silence has also caused many people to speculate, and the identity of the dean Hugo is also very sensitive: he is a master of alchemy!
If Chen Daolin's public teaching of alchemy caused a sensation in the academy, and even triggered a wave of praise from the academy to this young professor, then in comparison. Dean Hugo's situation became awkward.
Chen Daolin is just a professor, he was an acting professor before, and he has only been in the academy for a few months, so he can be regarded as an outsider. This is something that an outsider can have. The art of alchemy is taught publicly......
As an old man in the academy, the dean of the branch, and a master of alchemy, Hugo can be said to have stayed in the Academy of Magic all his life. But he never taught alchemy......
The so-called anything, I am afraid of comparison. In the past, everyone thought that this thing was nothing, and it was normal. But now there is such a person as Chen Daolin. It seems that the situation of this Hugo dean is awkward.
Of the thirty regular student slots, Hogwarts has twenty. The remaining ten places were divided among its faculties. And what is unexpected, but it seems to be expected. There was not a single place in the German Academy.
In addition to the thirty regular trainee places. The enthusiasm in the academy for this new class was so amazing that the number of applicants for the audit had been increased to fifty at Carmen's behest, but it was still not enough.
On the day of the official opening of the class, a full eighty-one students sat down in the circular staircase hall.
Because at Chen Daolin's insistence, Lucius, an auditor of the academy, obtained the qualification of a regular student of this new course. And because he is a disciple of Chen Daolin. He does not occupy the thirty places in the academy and is considered a supernumerary.
There is no objection from the academy to this point, after all, it is also an imperial tradition for magicians to accept apprentices, and even among the many elders and professors in the academy, who does not have a few private apprentices.
......
In the morning, the students came to the hall early, and the stairs around the child were high, and the magic students in robes were sitting on the top of the stairs.
Lucius sat in the middle of a group of Hogwarts students, right next to De Gummans, the boy looking a little excited, his eyes flashing with curiosity.
When the hourglass in the hall finally leaked, the students' expressions gradually became excited.
I don't know who exclaimed first: "Here! Professor Darling is here!"
The main entrance of the hall was pushed open, and Chen Daolin appeared in everyone's eyes wearing a formal mage professor robe in the academy.
He looked very calm, with a common smile on his face, his hair neatly combed, and his clothes neat, and he slowly walked down the hall to the podium in the middle of the round staircase seats.
Chen Daolin gently put down the stack of books he was holding, and glanced around along the circular stepped seat before smiling: "Everyone came early." β
After a pause, he added: "I know very well that it is not how attractive I am personally, but ...... It seems that alchemy is really fascinating. β
There was a good-natured laugh from the students below.
"Good, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Chen Daolin said slowly: "The yearning for alchemy is not a bad thing. I am here, your teacher, and your presence here proves that you have a strong desire for alchemy. I think that's something that any teacher would love to see: what could be happier than having a group of inquisitive students?"
There was still laughter, this time louder.
"I know that you have very high expectations for alchemy, and you must be curious, so I will start the first lesson of the day. When Chen Daolin said this, he paused deliberately, saw that many people's eyes were full of expectation, and then pursed his lips and smiled: "But first of all, I'm sorry to tell everyone, today's first lesson, what I talked about, seems to disappoint you." Because of the content of this first lesson, and magic...... It doesn't seem to have a lot to do with it. β
Many of the students had a stronger curiosity in their eyes.
Chen Daolin smiled with satisfaction, then he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "In today's first lesson, I want to talk to you about some basic things...... In other words, I want to tell you what you will learn from this new course, our goals, our learning direction, and what we will gain in this course...... Something we study. What the hell is ......"
After saying this, he slowed down his speech again, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Now, I want to ask you a question...... What do you think. What is ......power'?"
No one made a sound, and the students all looked at Chen Daolin with blank eyes.
Chen Daolin smiled: "Okay, this question may be too broad and not easy to answer." So let me ask another question...... Is there anyone who can sue me. What can power do?"
"Teacher. De Gummans stood up, his expression a little nervous, but more excited and excited: "For a magician, power can do many, many things. Like what...... We can use magic to lift heavy objects far beyond the limits of what ordinary people can bear. We can allow ourselves to fly in the sky. We can open the mountain and crack the rock. OK...... In short, many, many things can be done. β
De Goumans' tone was proud, because ...... There were so many people in the whole classroom. Only he and Lucius are qualified to call Chen Daolin "teacher". The rest of the people had to respectfully call "Professor Darling".
"Good. There is nothing inherently wrong with this answer. Chen Daolin smiled: "As De Gumans said, power can do many things. Especially for those of us who are magicians, we magicians can have a lot of power beyond ordinary people, and do things that ordinary people can't do! These powers are given to us by magic! For a long time, many people would think. Only a magician can do these things, and only a magician can wield these strange powers beyond ordinary people. But in today's first lesson, all I'm going to do is ...... Break these old ideas of yours!"
Chen Daolin suddenly raised his voice: "Even if there is no magic, there is a power in this world that can be beyond the imagination of ordinary people, beyond the limits of ordinary people! What magic can do, this power can also do!"
After a pause, he said slowly, "I'm not denying magic, and I'm not trying to subvert any tradition. What I want to tell you is that in this lesson I will teach you how to combine this power with the magic you already know......! Strength!"
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin saw that everyone was already looking forward to it, so he smiled: "First of all, what I want to do is to let everyone have an intuitive understanding of the 'power' I am talking about. β
With that, he left his desk and went to the open space in the middle of the hall.
In the middle of this circular lecture hall, there is a space about half the size of a basketball court.
"De Guymans. Chen Daolin suddenly shouted.
"Yes, teacher!" De Gumans stood up at once.
"I'm asking you a question, now let's say you're not a magician, you're just an ordinary person. With your body, you can lift a variety of things?"
"Uh......" De Gumans touched his forehead and smiled embarrassedly: "A few dozen kilograms should be fine." β
"Hmm. Chen Daolin nodded: "Then, now let's try." β
He casually ordered a few students sitting in the front row: "You, you, and you, please stand up and let's do a test together." De Guymans, come over too. β
After all, De Gumans is the captain of the perennial Quidditch team, and his body is quite strong, standing in front of ordinary students, half a head taller than everyone else.
Chen Daolin then asked De Gumans not to use magic, and purely used the ** strength of his arms to pick up a student.
De Goumans did it with ease.
Chen Daolin asked him to pick up the two people, De Gummans exerted all his strength, and he barely did it, just holding a person with one hand, which was very difficult, and he could only barely lift the person he was holding off the ground.
"It seems that you have reached the limit, it is difficult to pick up three people at the same time?"
De Gumans immediately shook his head: "If there are three people, I'm afraid I can't do it." β
Chen Daolin smiled and looked at all the students: "Then now, everyone has seen that with the strength of an ordinary person, the limit is probably here." Of course, if I allow you to use magic, this kind of thing can be done lightly. But if I tell you now that I can do it without using magic, would you believe it?"
Some students really fell into this kind of thinking trap and couldn't help but shake their heads.
Chen Daolin stood in the middle and suddenly flicked his fingers. A storage ring on his finger immediately glowed.
In the blink of an eye, several things appeared in the clearing.
A triangular pedestal with wheels added to it. On the pedestal, a long wooden board is placed.
It's something like a seesaw that's common in the real world.
Chen Daolin walked over with a smile, moved the plank on the pedestal, and quickly calculated something. Then the position was fixed, and the planks were erected on the base, long at one end and short at the other.
"De Guymans. There are also the students who were hugged by him just now, please make it to the end of this plank and sit on the left. β
The students of De Gumans looked blank, but they still sat down obediently. Four or five people sat on the planks next to each other.
"...... Now"
Chen Daolin slowly walked to the right side of the plank, looked at the high plank, and slowly raised his legs. He gently put his foot on it: "Now...... You see, that's what I'm talking about...... Strength!"
As he spoke, he pressed his foot down slightly. It didn't seem like it took much effort. Soon. The other end of the board was raised high, and the four students sitting on it were all with their feet off the ground, high on the ground.
Many students couldn't help but let out excited voices.
But some people calmed down and couldn't help but ask: "......Professor! I seem to have seen this kind of thing, on construction sites, when building walls and houses. This method was used to transport heavy pieces of stone and wood. β
"Yes, Professor, and I remember the trebuchets used in the army, which seems to be the same, right?"
Chen Daolin laughed and said loudly: "Yes! That's right! Your answers are all correct! This is exactly what I want you to face up to, and even pay attention to! Before starting this course, I hope you can understand that magic is not a unique power! In this world, there is another kind of magical power, which can do many extraordinary things without magic! And this magic machine course, as I just said, I will let you know this power, and finally you can fuse this power with magic!"
He pointed to the seesaw behind him and smiled, "You see, just such a device can allow one person to easily lift the weight of four people. If...... Forty people? 400, 4,000, 40,000? I'm afraid even if I had this device, I wouldn't be able to lift it. But...... What if I add the power of magic to that?"
A lot of people's eyes lit up!
De Gumans suddenly exclaimed, "Teacher...... If...... I mean, if we can be on a catapult in the army, it's the same principle...... Wouldn't it be ...... to add the power of magic to that?"
"Wouldn't that make the catapult ten times more powerful? a hundred times greater?
"It's not that simple!" Chen Daolin immediately let out a loud shout, interrupting the discussion below, and he said lightly: "The calculation of strength is a very accurate science. Now that you've seen this device, when using this kind of thing, we first need to know its various precise numbers! What is the maximum load it can withstand, how long of lever it can use, how many things can be leveraged...... This requires accurate calculations! And these calculations are the greatest guarantee for whether or not we can accurately grasp these forces in the future!"
As he spoke, Chen Daolin quickly walked to the back and wrote a few lines on a whiteboard.
He turned around, looked at all the students, and smiled, So, before we start studying, I want to say a word to everyone, and I hope all of you will keep it in mind.
"δΈqiΔ...... It's all ...... Math!"
......
The magic machinery class, three days, six classes, can be regarded as very intensive.
However, in three days, this new course has already caused a huge sensation in the Academy of Magic.
Many people have seen those students, large and small, walking through the academy with books in their hands, full of chatter. Some people also saw students sitting in the corridor by the square, holding cardboard to write and draw, and reciting words.
What "pulley friction formula, what friction, rest friction ......"
There are also students who recite that "friction can be the same or opposite to the direction of motion, or it can be angled......
"Lever Formula, Length, Weight, ......"
It seems that all the students who took this course suddenly became chattering.
Of course, the criticism is also huge!
Because Chen Daolin took classes for three days in a row, it is said that in the course, there was not a single mention of magic! The content he learned did not seem to have anything to do with magic!
In the eyes of people in the Academy of Magic, this is simply an outrageous act!!
Chen Daolin took the students to experience the device of pulling buckets for well water, and taught them what pulleys are.
Take them to do the real thing, tell them what gravity is, take them to climb the tall buildings in the academy, and then drop two iron balls, one large and one small, at the same time.
"This is two iron balls landing at the same time!"
In a word...... This guy takes the cadets to do all kinds of weird things.
But there's nothing that seems to have something to do with magic!
Even in the process of teaching, it is not without students who are confused.
Three days later, there were even students who quit the "Magic Machinery Class"!!
Although these things of Professor Chen Daolin make everyone feel very novel, they are ...... after all What does this have to do with magic?!
Soon, this criticism even reached Dean Carmen.
Teachers and professors from other branches, as well as branch deans, protested to Carmen.
Some people even complained that Chen Daolin was engaged in "crooked ways" in the Academy of Magic, which was simply "heresy"!
This kind of messy behavior will only make the students waste their precious time and waste their precious lives in this boring game banter!!
Chen Daolin was also informed of these complaints and accusations.
Faced with Carmen's question, Chen Daolin smiled.
"So...... Let's have a game. Let these people see, it's something that traditional magic can do, and I can do it better than they can with the 'magic machine'!"
"You...... So confident?" Carmen looked at Chen Daolin, in fact, Carmen herself was a little shaken - even if she was smart and genius, after all, she was a native of this era and the world, limited by the environment, after all, she couldn't understand how "science" would burst out once it was combined with magic.
"Of course I'm confident. Chen Daolin's tone was very calm, he looked into Carmen's eyes, and said slowly: "When any more advanced matter appears, there are always some old and rotten people who instinctively want to resist and obstruct it because of fear or ignorance. But in fact...... Reversing the tide is simply a joke. β
"What?" Carmen was a little dazed, "What do you mean?"
"I'm talking about...... A qiΔ reactionaries are paper tigers. Chen Daolin said righteously.
After speaking, without waiting for Carmen to come back to her senses, Chen Daolin, who had finished molesting the beautiful dean, had already run out of the dean's office quickly, leaving only one sentence in the distance.
"Sue those guys, in ten days, I'm willing to have a competition with them!"
10 days...... Huh!?Ten days?!
Carmen suddenly came to her senses, and her face changed.
Ten days, ten days later, it's December 29th!!There's only two days left until the New Year's celebration! If memory serves, there's a duel ahead of him!
He...... Are you busy?
