Chapter 277 [Willing to Bow to the Wind]

(This chapter has 8,000 words!!, the added part can be regarded as making up for the debt.) And still, I'll continue to make it up in the future! ）

The people at Carleton College over there were completely speechless.

From Dean Kurche onwards, those deans and elders of other branches have already begun to waver in their hearts at this moment.

The most important thing is that everyone invariably remembered the theory that Chen Daolin said after opening the "Magic Machinery" course in the academy.

"Magic, it should be able to be put into practice! If magic can't benefit the entire empire and society, and only stays at the privilege and game of a few people, then it doesn't deserve to be called a 'magical civilization' at all!"

There is no doubt that in today's first competition, Chen Daolin has shown his "strength".

The veterans in the Academy of Magic, even if there are some old stubborn or radical thinking, such as Dean Kurche. But as long as these people can occupy a high position in the Academy of Magic, there is no fool!

At this moment, a discerning person can already see that in this first competition, Chen Daolin has actually won completely.

Although the same conditions, Kurche did it. Perhaps the audience and the guests sitting here are not fools.

What Dean Kurche had brought out was a precious piece of magical equipment—everyone knew how expensive it was. Especially this kind of magic equipment that is consumed at one time, there is no possibility of reuse at all, and it will be used when it is used. What is consumed are expensive magic crystals, expensive magic scrolls, and the effort and energy consumed by the magician himself.

It is no exaggeration to say that the two magic scrolls that Kurche took out for communication were even among magicians. It will not be taken out lightly and used casually, but will be used for contact when there is an important and urgent matter.

These two magic scrolls, if they are on the market, are worth at least a few thousand gold coins!

And what is the "cost" of Chen Daolin's spending?

A few cardboard tubes, and a roll of thread!

How much is that? A few copper plates at most, you can get it all!

The most important thing is that this thing can be used infinitely over and over again!

And to this day, several masters of magic have not been able to understand the principle - is this Professor Darling really in possession of some unknown power?

There are only a few people from aristocratic and wealthy families, and they vaguely think of something.

Some wealthy aristocrats have used copper pipe sound transmission devices, using copper pipe metal pipes to transmit sound. Sounds from one room can be transmitted directly to another.

For example, the mysterious auction house in the imperial capital.

But the problem is that this metal thing is not easy to insulate sound, and everyone knows this.

Can be a cotton thread. Can it have such a magical effect?

Even some students in the magic academy can't help but think: what if, this kind of paper tube is set up in various places in the academy, and then cotton thread is used to connect all the places inside and outside the academy......

Isn't it......

Isn't it possible to stand anywhere in the academy and talk to people at will?

If...... Think bigger.

Place and distance are magnified a little more...... Not an academy. It's a street, a neighborhood?

Or even ...... A city?!

The cost of this thing is really amazingly low! Not to mention the magic scroll of a magician, even the kind of copper and metal pipes used by many aristocratic and wealthy families are also at an astonishing cost!

For an empire in the age of cold weapons, where productivity was not yet developed, metal would always be valuable.

For an empire of cold weapons that can't even make soldiers fully armored, it's simply impossible to popularize this kind of thing!

The first competition brought many people shock, but more of a deep contemplation!

Especially Fiona from the Tulip Workshop. And Angulo the Fat of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce.

In the chamber of commerce of these two people, there is a similar communication facility laid with metal pipes! And these two people were originally business elites, so they only need to turn their minds a little at this moment. You can think of Chen Daolin's "invention", how many amazing possibilities are contained in it!

And...... How much of a crazy wealth potential!

It's just this kind of illusion that you can talk to each other in advance -- just imagine, if you have this kind of thing, how much difference can be made to human life? How much will the convenience and development of information transmission bring to people's lives!

And also...... If this kind of thing is popularized. So...... How many business opportunities are there during this period!!

......

Everyone was shocked, pondering. In an uproar.

But Chen Daolin had fallen into silence.

He was still looking in the direction where Panin had left, and all kinds of thoughts were turning in his heart!

Panin ...... What does his warning mean?

This guy ......

The situation in the imperial capital is dangerous...... If you don't want to die, leave ......

The meaning of his warning, Chen Daolin couldn't guess, and more importantly, Paning...... Was his warning well-intentioned, malicious?

Chen Daolin knew very well that he and Paning were by no means good friends, and even hostile feelings might be more! Such a relationship, he issued such a warning...... Do you really want to remind yourself kindly, or do you ......

And also......

Before he finally left, his cold eyes were expressionless, but his eyes were so cold and solemn.

With such a look, Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a chill.

De Gummans, Lodel, or ...... Shawdel?

Chen Daolin's eyes finally fell on Xiao De's body.

His red hair was still meticulously combed, and he stood quietly outside the crowd as he stood beside De Gumans and the other students who were cheering and cheering for victory, still looking out of place.

Chen Daolin noticed that Xiao De's eyes were even a little gloomy, some disdainful, some disapproving, and some ...... Abhor?

Yes, just disgust.

This look of disgust. But it was shot at ......

To Chen Daolin's surprise, this disgusted look actually shot at ......

The veteran members of the Academy of Magic, led by Dean Hugo?

Just when Chen Daolin fell into deep thought......

"Darling, what are you looking at?" a delicate little hand gently tuged into his palm.

Chen Daolin raised his head and saw Luo Deer's pretty face that was disgusting and joyful - the trace of concern in this Nizi's eyes actually looked very sincere.

Chen Daolin felt a faint sense of gratitude in his heart, but then he looked down and saw Luo Daer's belly, so he couldn't help but snort again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm thinking." When are you going to play me to death, big lady. If you do this, you will really kill someone! Don't you know? That old man of yours has already talked to me. Aren't you afraid that he really plans to tie you up and marry me?"

To Chen Daolin's surprise, Luo Dale actually shrugged the straight and delicate little nose bridge slightly.

"Marry you, marry you...... Darling, do you dare to marry!"

“...... Huh?"

Chen Daolin glared at Luo Dai in surprise, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Luo Daer's forehead: "Miss." You don't have a fever, do you?"

A trace of anger flashed in Luo Deer's eyes, and he flicked Chen Daolin's hand away hatefully, and said angrily: "Don't worry! Even if I am burnt, I will not marry myself to a pig casually!"

With that, she twisted her head away with all her might. But within a few seconds, when the eyes of the onlookers next to him shot into their eyes. This chick immediately became smiling again, leaned over softly, and grabbed Chen Daolin's arm hard.

Damn it. This chick changes her face so quickly!

Just when Chen Daolin sighed helplessly in his heart, Luo Daer sneered in his ear again: "Why does that Tulip Family's Fiona always secretly aim at you?

"Don't say it so badly, okay. Chen Daolin frowned, now he was really a little angry.

"Really, are you? Then you have to be careful. This woman is very troublesome! The emperor doesn't know how many men have beaten her idea, and among them, those who are higher and more powerful than you. If this woman is involved, I don't know how much trouble it will cause you!"

Chen Daolin snorted and said angrily: "Don't forget, so far, the woman who has brought me the most trouble is whether you are good!"

"Oh, is this my honor?" said Rodelle smiled sweetly at Chen Daolin, hugged Chen Daolin's arm tightly as if demonstrating, and then glared back at the women in the crowd who were peeking at Chen Daolin, including Fiona.

"Darling, don't forget. Now I'm your nominal woman, and you're my nominal man! If you hook up with other women, it will make me very shameful. ”

"What if you don't have face. Chen Daolin pouted.

Luo Dale raised her eyes and looked at Chen Daolin, her big bright eyes flickered, her eyelids blinked, her eyelashes fluttered, but her tone was very serious.

"It's not going to be good, it's just ...... I'll be jealous!" Rodelle's tone was very serious, and she said slowly: "You should know that women are jealous, but it's terrible. ”

Chen Daolin was frightened by these words!

Especially when Luo Daer spoke, the seriousness in her tone and eyes made Chen Daolin instinctively feel a trace of inappropriateness and danger.

"You...... You ......" Chen Daolin tried to make a joke, but when the words came to his lips, he found that his smile became very reluctant: "You...... You're not really in love with me, are you? Hey, it's just acting, but don't get too deep into the drama!"

"Phew, I'm in love with you, I don't have it now!" Rodelle blushed, spiffed, and turned her head away.

Chen Daolin breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was nervous, as if he had ignored Lordelle's words.

Right now...... No.

Right now......

......

"Professor Darling!"

A neutral voice pulled Chen Daolin back from his contemplation.

The chubby Dean Hugo had already come over, and the old man was born with a round and chubby face, and even when he had a straight face, he looked as if he had a three-point smile on his face.

But at this moment, he was indeed smiling, and the smile in his eyes was not deliberately hidden.

Dean Hugo even looked up and down at Luo Dale, who was snuggled in Chen Daolin's arms for a while, with a kind of "kind elder" gaze. Then he looked at Chen Daolin again, a ridiculous smile flew out of the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Professor Darling, is it tender and sweet, it's okay at any time." Look, is it possible to continue the competition now?"

"Ahh

Clearing his throat, Chen Daolin laughed loudly: "Everyone!!"

With the voice of his talking. The audience gradually fell silent.

"I think everyone saw the first game very clearly...... I would like to repeat it again. There is no winner or loser in our competition today, it is just an academic exchange. So...... Let's move on to the second competition!"

"Good!!" Someone in the crowd immediately responded.

Someone else shouted, "Professor Darling." Please keep seeing more amazing things!"

"Haha yes, I'm sure it's worth it today!"

"Go on, I'll wait to see something more interesting!"

Chen Daolin bowed to the crowd and thanked him, and then glanced at Hugo again, Dean Hugo smiled calmly, but it was the Dean of Culche. The old man still hadn't come to his senses, and he was still there, muttering something in his mouth.

Chen Daolin couldn't bear to fight this guy anymore, so he simply said to Hugo: "Your Excellency Dean Hugo, look, the next competition content." Would you like to preside over it?" he said, deliberately glancing at Kurche not far away.

Dean Hugo understood and nodded: "Okay." ”

"So. Now, I declare that the second contest begins!"

Chen Daolin said, took two steps back, and then let Rodelle and Rose and the others return to their seats and sit down. He coughed and announced in a loud voice:

"The second competition...... Transport!"

"It's well known. Transportation is a very important thing! How to transport the most goods or people to the farthest possible place at the fastest speed under the minimum cost is the most important criterion for considering transportation capacity!

Militarily speaking, if you can put enough troops to the most needed places in the fastest time, you can win a war!

Commercially speaking, if you can transport goods from one place to another in the most efficient way, then you can make the most profits.

In terms of people's livelihood...... If it is possible to transport people from several places to each other freely and smoothly...... Then it is possible to make the exchange of labor in the region, make the greatest use of human and material resources, and make a region more prosperous!

I don't think I need to say more, all of you who are doing it are either rich or expensive, and have a wide range of knowledge, so I don't need to repeat it here.

So. Now let's move on to the second contest!

As he spoke, Chen Daolin lost a look at Fiona who was sitting in the crowd.

The woman immediately stood up, and in full view of everyone, she walked up and stood beside Chen Daolin.

"In order to show justice, I specially invited Miss Fiona from the Tulip Workshop to be a witness to this competition, and at the same time, Miss Fiona also contributed to the second competition on behalf of the Tulip Workshop. Of course...... As you all know, the day after tomorrow I am going to make an appointment for a competition, and the opponent of the competition is the famous master under the command of Miss Fiona, I think there is this relationship, no one present will think that Miss Fiona will collude with me in today's competition. ”

There was a burst of laughter below.

"So, let's get started now. Chen Daolin nodded to Fiona.

The woman walked up, she was indeed extremely beautiful, and her gestures were charming, and the men present quickly focused their eyes on her.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Fiona's voice was delicate and crisp, but with a hint of sleek and neat flavor: "It was also an accident for me to be commissioned by Professor Darling to invite me to participate in this competition. I can only say that I am grateful to Professor Darling for his trust in me and in the Tulip Workshop! This act is enough to reflect Professor Darling's high demeanor and open-mindedness!"

Saying that, she paused deliberately and said with a smile: "I think everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I won't say much nonsense, let's talk about the content of this competition." ”

She quickly waved her hand, and then several servants of the Tulip family had already run out quickly. Soon left the square.

A moment later, I saw a crowd of people slowly coming to the square.

There were as many as two hundred of these people, all of them were dressed in leather armor, armed with short spears or sharp swords, all of them were uniformly equipped, and they looked full of spirit, and they were clearly elite guards who were very well trained.

When everyone present saw it, they immediately recognized it.

This is the tulip workshop's guard in the imperial capital.

In other words, this is a branch of the Tulip family stationed in the imperial capital all year round. A private army dedicated to protecting the Tulip Workshop's properties in the imperial capital.

Although the number of people is not very large, only more than 200 people, but more than 200 people are lined up. Walking with an orderly demeanor, there is quite an awe-inspiring aura, obviously they are all elite people selected from the family!

The two hundred private troops, fully armed, marched into the square and stood on one side of the square. It was only a few dozen steps away from the auditorium.

Almost at the same time, on the other side of the square, a row of carriages drove slowly.

At first glance, these are the heavy trucks in the Chamber of Commerce that are specially responsible for transporting heavy goods, and the wheels and bodies are specially made for the cargo capacity of the family.

Among the guests, many people from the wealthy chambers of commerce recognized them at a glance.

And these carriages, almost all of which bear the badge of the tulip family, are obviously sponsored by Fiona.

The carriage came to a halt beside the square. Almost half of the square was slowly stuffed.

And all of the cars were fully loaded! All the piles on the cars were charcoal and firewood. Ore and so on.

After these dozen carriages stopped here, what was amazing was that after those coachmen stopped, they immediately untied all the reins of the horses, and then led away all the dozens of horses pulling the carts quickly!

"Ladies and gentlemen. The trucks here are fully loaded. Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "I can tell you a more accurate number, there are a total of twenty tons of goods here! Yes." Twenty whole tons!"

Chen Daolin's smiling appearance fell in the eyes of the die-hard patriarchs of those magician academies, and suddenly made people feel that there was an indescribable hatefulness...... And...... Faint unease?

"My request is very simple...... Although the transportation distance is also an important criterion for considering the transportation capacity, we must not let all the distinguished guests wait in this square all day in such cold weather. Chen Daolin laughed: "Then, the topic is here, the following competition will be started by the distinguished magician of the academy first." ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the loaded wagons, and then to the two hundred heavily armed guards not far away: "Twenty tons of cargo, or, two hundred." In terms of weight, the weight of the two hundred guards plus the equipment on their bodies is basically the same as those goods. It is up to the magicians of the academy to give priority to twenty tons of cargo, or two hundred guards...... In any way, starting from this square and ending at the gate of the academy! The distance is about one kilometer each way, and two kilometers for a round trip! Then it is ten times round trip, a distance of twenty kilometers! How? Explain in advance, it is not permissible for these two hundred guards to run on their own legs? Of course, it is not allowed to use the power of livestock, as you can see, I have already had the horses taken away. ”

Some people laughed out loud, but many more were lost in thought!

Someone shouted, "Is it for someone to pull the cart themselves?"

Chen Daolin smiled: "If Your Excellency has the strength to pull a special heavy truck alone and walk twenty kilometers, then I am willing to bow to the wind." ”

At this moment, Dean Hugo on the side was also silent, and the smiling expression on his face finally disappeared, replaced by a tightly frowning brow.

Chen Daolin's blow hit the soft underbelly of the magicians!!

This is a competition, a hidden killing machine!!

......

Transporting twenty tons of cargo is not a problem at all for a magician!

With storage rings or storage magic equipment, a magician can easily empty all the goods in a warehouse!

As for what is 20 kilometers? Pick up a flying broomstick and you can do it lightly!

If you look at it this way, it seems that Chen Daolin's competition is purely self-inflicted?

Can it be ...... The other half of the question is two hundred guards!

Two hundred! Two hundred living people!!

This is difficult for magicians!

As we all know, because of the limitations of space magic. All the storage magic equipment in this world, whether it is the top equipment or the magic storage ring...... Even if you can fit a mountain into it.

But there is only one thing that cannot be done no matter what!

It is...... Can't hold living things!!

Yes, any living thing, whether it is an animal, a monster, or a human......! No living creature can fit into storage magic equipment!

Once you throw it in, you'll die!

Storage space carved out with space magic. It's a well-known fact that you can't load a living person!!

But if you don't use magic storage equipment, transport two hundred people?

This seems to be a bit difficult for magicians.

It's not that it can't be done. If you give everyone some time to make a magic array, it is not impossible to shuttle the magic array through space!

But...... To make a magic circle that can pass through two hundred people, this cost. But there are some ......

Even if the Academy of Magic has a lot of money, it will never be able to do it for a while!

The current empire is not a magic array without space transfer, in many important cities and military strongholds, there are such magic arrays, but they are all small. At most, it is used to urgently transport important objects, such as important and valuable things.

Used to transport large groups of people? This is something that the power of the empire cannot do!

Otherwise. If there is such a magic array that can transport people on a large scale, the massive army in the country can be directly transferred to the front line anytime and anywhere, saving a huge amount of logistics supplies and expenses on the road......

How can there be such a good thing?!

Although Chen Daolin's title seems to be very polite, it can be left to the magicians to choose whether to transport goods or people.

It seems to have saved a lot of face for the other party.

But. It's just that for many magicians, this kind of deliberate step and face. It's like a slap in the face!

Others think even deeper!

If you are yourself, these magicians choose to transport goods...... Could it be that this Darling Master has a way to transport people?!!

Transporting goods on a large scale? No manpower, no livestock?

It's on land! It's not on water, you can't use boats!

And with 200 people transported, you can't do it with a hot air balloon!

No manpower, no livestock, no water, no hot air balloons......

You can't use magic yet!!

How the hell did he do it?

Chen Daolin looked at the magicians who were looking at each other.

Then he suddenly sighed softly and whispered to himself.

"I can now understand the state of mind of the great god of Watt...... It's just a crazy and cool ** bomb the sky!"

After saying that, he slowly walked to the row of carriages and said with a smile: "Young men, bring our things over!"

In a moment, several horses, pulling two "carriages" that seemed to be specially made, slowly drove to the square.

The carriage looked bizarre: the heavy carriage had eight metal wheels on each side of the chassis, and the interlocking metal rods were welded together.

And on the carriage, there is actually a small chimney?!

Hmmm? That's right, it's really a chimney?!

The magic students got the two carriages directly to the end of the wagon convoy.

Then the lads moved quickly, and with the chains and cables prepared in advance, all the carriages were connected one by one, and the two special chimneys at the two ends were also bolted.

(Well, one end and one tail, two locomotives)

Chen Daolin looked at this scene, but actually sighed secretly in his heart.

The train itself cannot be made for the time being, because there are no railroad tracks! The railway is an extremely money-burning thing! Just laying the railroad tracks requires a huge amount of steel! This is by no means something that the iron-smelting strength of a country that is still in the era of cold weapons in feudal society can do this!

Therefore, it is impossible to make the railroad tracks by yourself, so you have to make these four dislikes.

Use the steam engine as the locomotive (the steam engine was removed from the two antique locomotives he brought from the real world and bought from the old museum, and he also erased all the steel seals and a qiē imprint on it that could reveal the message.) The most important thing is that there are less than ten people in the Wushuang Fang who have come into contact with this steam engine. In particular, a few blacksmiths were amazed by the steel used in the inner furnace of the steam engine, as well as the connected pipe kits, which were simply amazing.

However, Chen Daolin took out the majesty of a magician, and these guys didn't dare to ask or say more.

After the heads of the two steam engines are fixed, one end and the other.

It was Chen Daolin, who also took a clever approach.

Because although he made this thing, it is a bit similar to a steam engine car. But...... After all, he is not a real mechanical engineer, and he can't make a real car in this world! At least, he can't get the mechanical parts of the direction control!

That is, these two bodies, for the time being...... I can only go straight forward, and I can barely adjust the direction slightly. If you want to turn or go around in circles...... It's better to kill Chen Daolin directly!

But in this case, the distance between the square and the college gate, this kilometer, is very simple!

Therefore, the 20 kilometers that Chen Daolin said were actually deliberately avoiding his own shortcomings.

Going back and forth ten times, the front and rear of the two cars, the cross pull is enough, but if he is allowed to drive out of the academy, drive twenty kilometers on the road...... When you turn a corner, you're going to die!

Moreover, the roads in the magic academy are in good condition, and when they were built, they were stone roads that were used at all costs! If they were replaced by those muddy roads, I was afraid that the car would have to stop cooking.

In any case, what he showed today is actually the power of the steam engine!

If we can plant a seed in the hearts of these people! Let them see the huge potential brought by the steam engine, this competition can be regarded as invincible!

"So...... Everyone, let's get started!" Chen Daolin smiled politely at the bigwigs and elders in the academy.

The rest of the patriarchs were still stunned, and at this moment, Hugo suddenly let out a long sigh.

The old man stood in front of Chen Daolin, and then, in the midst of everyone's exclamations...... Dean Hugo of the German branch actually bent down to Chen Daolin and bowed seriously!

This gift can make Chen Daolin stunned!

He quickly turned sideways, and then bowed to Dean Hugo.

But the old man helped him.

Chen Daolin looked up and saw Hugo's complicated expression, but there was a trace of solemnity and perseverance in his eyes!

"Professor Darling, I can take the place of my fellow Branches, and we don't have to make a fool of ourselves! If you can show how to transport these two hundred living people...... In this competition, these old guys from our academy will bow down to you!!"

Speaking of this, Hugo's expression was a little excited, and he continued loudly: "Not only that! If you can really do this, then this initiative of yours is the most important and precious invention and wealth of my Roland Empire in the past hundred years!!!
