Chapter 142: Show off

"Why don't you get into the flow?" Orlando said loudly, "You're jealous!"

"Are these new discoveries? are they just the invention of some elaborate props, do they contribute anything to magic, do they provide any new theories?"

Generally speaking, theories are more high-end than applications, but theories are more boring and not easy to produce results, and applications are more profitable, but this is the view on the earth. Here, the application is completely inferior to the theory, because the theory can be completely transformed into magical power, and even invent a magic of its own.

But this time Belloc made a mistake, only to see Orlando take out a magazine, turn to a paper, and say: "Who said that he has no theory? Not to mention the research on charcoal adsorption, you must think that this is not a profound thing, then you look at this, my disciple's paper on friction research, unconvinced!"

Belloc took a look at the title - on the systematic elaboration and application of friction, about the principle and use of bearings. Good guys, it's such a long list of titles, I almost didn't catch my breath after reading it in one sitting.

He did not subscribe to the magazine, and this was the first time he had seen the paper. He looked at it carefully, not understanding why his old rival was so respectful.

It wasn't until he read the whole paper that he realized that this was indeed a high-quality paper, and that the application of friction was ubiquitous, and the bearings mentioned in his paper were also very delicate and useful.

"How is it? My apprentices and grandchildren are much better than your students, have your students made any new discoveries recently?"

Seeing that Bellock was shocked, Orlando reclined on his seat, his expression indescribably indescribable, at least Bellock felt that he couldn't help but punch over, and he couldn't even remember his identity as a magician.

"My students have also discovered a new process for mental recovery potions, but they haven't published it yet. Moreover, as a junior mage, you still have to focus on learning, and the experience summarized by your predecessors is also very useful, if you study for a long time only to find that it is already the result of someone else's research, isn't it a waste of time? You should advise your students to be careful that teaching them in this way is invalidating. ”

Belloc looked like he was listening to me, I was thinking about you, and he didn't have the swagger he had at the beginning. If Imu had published this paper, then he wouldn't have done this, because it is difficult to cure the damage to the spiritual sea caused by the backlash, even if it is a legendary mage, there is no good way, so he can only find some legendary heavenly treasures to try.

In this way, Imu will still be crushed by the future Linde, and Orlando will still not be able to compare to himself.

But Imu's students are different, which shows that the student is intact, and there is this kind of high-quality paper, which proves that his talent is not low, and his future achievements will not be small, although it is one thing to have talent or not, but it is better than not having the chance of becoming talented. Belloc can't hope for this to break through and fail to eat.

Not to mention that this chance is almost impossible to achieve, he himself is not so vicious, hoping that the students of his old friends will be unlucky. It's one thing for him to be unlucky to mend the knife, but it's another thing for people to be good and expect the other party to be unlucky.

Orlando looked at Belloc and smiled, and the laughing Belloc spoke in a much weaker tone. But he still stubbornly continued, losing people does not lose the battle: "And your so-called paper on friction is not all original, many of them have been expounded by predecessors, such as Archmage Isaac, when he wrote the three major theorems of mechanics, he mentioned friction, and considered the influence of friction on the motion of objects. ”

"Yes, Archmage Isaac's first law of mechanics was first proposed by Master Galilei, but Archmage Isaac summarized it. Orlando said as he looked at Belloc playfully.

Because of the peculiar nature of magic, many of the magic methods are not clear to people, but they are learned according to the prototypes, and many of the magic of humans are learned from elves, or imitated magical beasts or even magic plants. Therefore, it is great to be able to summarize the laws through the experience of predecessors, especially to get a concise theorem, and the brief is like learning a forbidden spell.

"Ah, Archmage Isaac's calculus is about to be published, and I heard that this is a great development in mathematics, and the use of calculus can solve many problems that mathematics could not solve before, especially in solving real-world problems. And my student, you haven't seen it yet, have you? I'm going to call him to show you. ”

Belloc began to talk about him left and right, forcibly changing the subject.

"Isn't your student Linde? ”

"I haven't seen it for a long time, I'm afraid you've forgotten, and then get acquainted with it again. With that, Belloc pushed the door open and went out.

But in Orlando's eyes, it's a bit of a deserted escape.

When Belloc found his student, he had gotten a bicycle out of nowhere and was riding it in circles.

Belloc frowned and said, "Where did you get your bike?"

"Hey, teacher, you know bicycles, aren't you not interested in these kinds of magical items?" asked Linde curiously, stopping the car.

Not only do I know, but I also know the author's teacher, even his teacher's teacher, Belloc thought to himself. Just pretending to be B was cao, which made him very unhappy, and now his student is driving in front of him, and his mood is even more unhappy.

It's just that he didn't have a seizure, and he couldn't let his students see that he had just eaten a turtle, otherwise it would affect his image of being wise and martial, but he secretly made a note in his heart that he would go back and let Linde assign a few "good tasks" to "improve" the level of his students.

"Whoever gives him back this car, I'll take you to Orlando, and your Misty Soul Grass will have to find him." ”

"No, this is what I bought, I think it's very convenient, why doesn't anyone in our school sell this?" Linde straddled the car, not wanting to get down, probably wanting to ride over.

Belloc felt even more unhappy, and even paid for it.

"Such a simple thing can be made by yourself, who would buy it like you. ”

Linde did not agree with him: "No, it is very troublesome to make this car, if you don't want to waste time, it is much more convenient to buy one, I asked the person who made the car, it is said that it is particularly troublesome to extract eucommia gum, and there are bearings, which must be particularly fine." ”

If a mage is willing to spend time, it is true that he can make it and sell it, but if there are no other requirements, it is not necessarily cost-effective to just use it and make it himself - mage's time is not cheap.

When Vorster and the others started to make bicycles, they didn't foresee the cumbersomeness of bicycles, and the main target group was actually mage apprentices and some mages who were not bad for money, thinking that ordinary mages would make their own even if they wanted to, and they could attach magic circles according to their own wishes. But when I actually started to make it, I found that it was not as simple as I thought, these are not difficult for mages, but they are particularly cumbersome.

If you only make a single piece, it is not cost-effective, and both bearings and tires take a lot of time and effort. However, if it is made in batches, many bearings or tires can be made at one time, so that time and labor costs are saved.

Because of this, Vorster's business turned out to be good. But after all, it was a marginal game, and the school sold about the same, so they wanted to stop. If you want to sell outside, you need to form a chamber of commerce to be more convenient, but this is beyond the scope of the default authorization.

These have nothing to do with Belloc, although Vorster made a small profit, but this "small profit" was not favored by Belloc. He took his students to Orlando to see if he, the head snake, could help find the Misty Soul Grass.

And if there are juniors, they generally won't tear up, which is just right to alleviate his own embarrassment.
