Originally, there was no need for Grandmaster Jurgen to attend the exchange between the two academies. What's more, the person the Black Dragon City side wanted to see was Dean Brendan de Molay, so there was no need for him to show his face.
However, because his disciple Grandmaster Pierre brought a letter before, he let him know some of the real situation in Black Dragon City. Driven by curiosity, he also wanted to meet Mr. Tust, who his disciples called "full of praise" in their letters.
In order to keep it secret, his disciple Pierre did not elaborate on how high Tust's level was in the letter. He only said that there was a "world's top mechanical master" in Black Dragon City.
Looking at it now, it is indeed extraordinary!
The technological level of Carl's little raccoon battle suit has surpassed the level of their Omar Royal Academy of Sciences for at least ten years!
And Mr. Tust, who is said to have mastered more advanced technology, has not yet taken action.
It is said that he has a truly top-level battle armor with combat power comparable to that of a "legend".
... ... .
Grand Master Jürgen did not know Tust before. When the "scandal" broke out, he was still an intermediate mechanic in Valarze Province, south of Oma.
Later, after studying at the Royal Academy, he advanced all the way to senior, master, and grand master.
He only learned about the grudge between Tust and Brendan when he heard that Black Dragon City was visiting in the name of exchange.
At that time, he knew that there might really be something hidden about what happened back then.
Because he knew that Dean Brendan could do such despicable things!
Jealous, petty, excluding dissenters...
Although Blaidan has reached the pinnacle of power over the years, there are not many things that can make him jealous. But he was doing the same dirty thing as before: training his son who was not very talented in mechanics, and relying on patents he didn't know where he came from, he was forced to become a "mechanical master" step by step.
This matter is not so clear in the eyes of others, but it cannot be hidden from him, the "machinist master".
After all, the academic circle of mechanics is not as clear-cut as the extraordinary level. There are clear dividing lines between levels. The "senior mechanic" and "mechanical master" of these mechanics only need grade assessment and papers. , patents, and achievements...
The only assessment party is the "Oma Machinists Union".
There are only three grandmasters from the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences who can assess and recognize the master rating.
To anyone else, those who can test "Mechanical Masters" by their own strength are all mechanical geniuses with excellent talents.
But Grand Master Jurgen knew Brendan's son and was sure that he was not the kind of mechanic with amazing talents.
But that guy surpassed me and got the "Grandmaster" evaluation.
You don’t have to think about it, you know there must be something fishy about it.
Its purpose is also self-evident.
Because one of the qualifications for running for president of the Royal Academy of Sciences is that one needs a professional title above the master level.
The president of the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences has great power. In the imperial capital, he can even influence the emperor's decision-making to a certain extent.
Brendan plans to turn the Royal Academy into the "private residence" of his Morlay family, which is an important bargaining chip to ensure that their family will always be in the top aristocratic class.
Also because of certain conflicts between the political and academic circles.
Jurgen has long been fed up with the smoky academic atmosphere in the college.
On his own, there was nothing he could do.
He felt that if the learning and research atmosphere in the college were purer and less infighting, Omar's current technological development would be at least a lot further ahead than it is now.
Not to say it's better than the current Black Dragon City, but it's definitely not much different.
Therefore, Jurgen felt that being slapped in the face by Black Dragon City this time was not a bad thing.
At least let those "mechanical politicians" in the college who think they are "invincible" and think about fighting for fame and fortune every day clearly understand that their status is being threatened and have a sense of crisis.
... ... .
Seeing Grandmaster Jurgen coming forward, everyone stood up to greet him.
Even Grandmaster Oliver said hello politely: "Vice Dean, why are you here..."
Grand Master Jurgen didn't say much and nodded his head.
Turning his face, he said directly to Karl on the ring: "Mr. Karl, your combat mecha technology is already very good. Our Omar mechas are far behind yours. Your achievements in the mecha field , even an old man is not as good as..."
He readily admitted defeat.
At this point, there is actually no need to continue the exchange between the two colleges. The technological gap in combat mechas is already so huge that even a layman can tell.
If you can't compare, you can't compare. Accepting it calmly makes many people feel less embarrassed.
In the field of steam technology, those who achieve are always first.
Jurgen pretended not to know and asked Karl: "May I ask Mr. Karl, who do you study under?"
Upon hearing this, Karl on the stage responded: "I come from Black Dragon Academy. My mechanics knowledge was all taught by my grandfather."
Jurgen raised his eyebrows: "Grandpa?"
At this time, Ren also stood up and introduced everyone solemnly: "This is our Black Dragon Academy, Mr. Tust Fuenst, the president of the Academy of Sciences."
It can be said that the old man has supported the technology of Black Dragon City alone.
The number one mechanic in the world still needs to have this card.
It was only natural that he, the Lord of Black Dragon City, should introduce it personally.
However, this name is unfamiliar to today’s mainstream mechanics.
The younger ones have never heard of it.
Even if you are old, you may not be able to remember the name of a person from thirty years ago.
"Tust? This is a mechanic who came out of nowhere. I've never heard of it."
"I'm pretty sure that this person is not on the list of masters or above certified by the machinists union anyway."
"That's not right. Why haven't you heard of such a powerful mechanic? If you can design such a powerful mecha, you should at least have many high-end patents, but in my impression, there don't seem to be any?"
"I don't remember seeing this name before either."
"..."
The students whispered.
Now Karl alone has slapped the entire Oma Science Academy in the face, and no one doubts that Tust is a top mechanic.
But just like that, everyone was even more confused.
Their Omar is the only one with the inheritance of top mechanics. Even the Mechanical Academy of the Sid Empire is a sub-level talent poached by their Omar with a high salary.
It can be said that any powerful mechanic must be directly related to their Oma Academy.
But no one has heard of this "Tust Fuenst". The machinists' union does not have his name, and there is no name on the patent list. I have not heard of any famous disciples...
Blank.
It's like it came out of nowhere and doesn't belong to this era at all.
... ... .
At this time, Mr. Tust also stood up. Today was his stage, so naturally he would not back down.
He looked at the students who looked suspicious and introduced himself: "You students may not know me. But thirty years ago, I was also a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar. This is also the place where my dream started... .I studied here, rose through the ranks, and became a senior researcher."
call...
As he said this, he could faintly hear sighs of relief.
If they lose to others, their Oma Academy will be ashamed. But it would feel much better if the loser was their own "senior" from the academy.
However, the problem still exists.
Since he is a senior in the academy, why haven't he heard of it at all
At this time, one college asked this question: "So... Mr. Tust, since you are a senior in our college and you are such a powerful mechanic, why have I never heard of your name?" ?”
Karl's armor can put Grandmaster Jurgen to shame. One can only imagine the level of a teacher who can teach such a disciple.
Tust smiled slightly and said: "But later because of some things, I was expelled from the mechanics union..."
"Cough! Cough!"
However, before he could finish his words, Grandmaster Oliver coughed a few times and interrupted him to continue.
Naturally, he would not let Tust reveal the "scandal" of the year, and said: "This Mr. Tust! I think... Although your Black Dragon Academy did perform well in communication, please pay attention. Your words. The Supreme Court of the Empire has already ruled on what happened back then. Please do not spread some fictitious facts that are inconsistent with the judgment and affect the reputation of the college... "
Tust glanced at him and said calmly: "Grandmaster Oliver seems to have heard about what happened thirty years ago? Then can you tell everyone what happened back then?"
Oliver obviously thought that the Black Dragon City side was going to use the issue to make trouble, and he was no longer polite: "That is your private matter! This is an exchange meeting between two colleges, not a place to talk about old things. Besides, you were expelled from the college back then. , in my opinion, he deserves it. The court has already made a decision. If you have any objections, you can appeal. Don’t tarnish the pure place of the academy... "
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, don't think that just because you don't know where to find some ancient technological inheritance, you can go wild in our Omar Royal Academy. A person's scientific research level does not mean his character! Mr. Tust, please respect yourself!"
These words were righteous and clever, sealing off Tust's room for rebuttal.
So what if you are highly skilled
It doesn’t mean you have a good character!
What's more, it's not necessarily at my own level, what if it's an ancient relic excavated
As soon as this label was posted, everyone's curiosity turned into a faint defensiveness.
It seems like... a guy who plans to come to the academy to cause trouble just because of his skills
A senior leader of the school said these words, which is naturally very authoritative.
No one among the students asked anymore about Tust's identity.
But what is unexpected is that after hearing these words, Tust calmly shook his head.
"I also agree with you. A person's scientific research level does not represent his character."
His words made it impossible to hear any emotional fluctuations caused by hatred, like a deep ancient well without any ripples.
After a pause, he continued: "I have a personal grudge with Brendan, so I naturally don't intend to waste public resources. I said it in the academy. Since he doesn't want to show up today, I will come find him another day. I am here today. , in fact, it’s mainly for another thing.”
Is the old man going to show off his skills
When Ren heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and the cold light in his eyes could not be hidden.
He had already planned to make a big fuss, but in this situation, Brendan had to accept it or not.
Before, he asked Karl to go on stage and slap him in the face first, actually just to give Tust a chance to speak.
If you have strength, others will be patient enough to listen.
Otherwise, no one would care about the words of a strange old man once they enter the academy.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tust's next words surprised him.
... ... .
Tust did not mention the grudge between him and Brendan again. The injustice he suffered back then and the hatred of his family being ruined were all just personal.
He had no hostility towards Omagh College.
He looked at the thousands of people in the audience and said: "Oma College was once the place where I grew up and studied. Without the cultivation of the college, I would not be where I am today. I also love the mechanical field, and I am willing to devote my life's energy to it." This great science, thanks to the 'God of Steam'..."
"Steam machinery is a great invention given to us by the 'God of Steam' to benefit mankind... Thousands of years ago, Emperor Spurgeon created the first mechanical city. From that time on, we humans began to have the ability to fight back against evil. The survivability of the natural environment..."
"Even now, when I often stand under the stars and gaze, I still feel that I have only mastered some superficial aspects of machinery. There is still a long way to go..."
"In the face of mechanical science, everyone should be in awe and humility. Only with an open mind can we touch the higher fields of machinery. The development of mechanical technology is not one person's and requires the joint efforts of everyone... "
"The most difficult period of primitive accumulation has passed, and the 'technological explosion' is unstoppable... We mechanics are about to usher in the best era!"
"I can tell you responsibly that in the future, our mechanics will definitely have a place in the top extraordinary field that no one can ignore!"
"..."
Tust's speech silenced the huge exchange hall.
Not only the young mechanical students, but also the instructors, all listened with enthusiasm.
What the old man said is exactly what every mechanic dreams of.
Let machinery benefit all mankind!
Let mechanics have a place in the top extraordinary field!
"well said!"
Upon hearing this, Grand Master Jurgen shouted loudly and took the lead in applauding.
Bang bang bang bang...
Then, a flood of applause erupted in the huge exchange hall.
... ...
After a long time, the applause fell.
At this time, Tust revealed his purpose and said: "I think mechanical science should be a purely academic field, instead of being mixed with power struggles and being used as a bargaining chip in political games!"
He is from Oma College, so he naturally knows where the "disease" of the college is.
These words resonated with many students present and touched their hearts.
Nowadays, in Oma College, an increasingly serious clique has formed.
The students in the academy are also divided into factions. The high nobility and high nobility are an almost fixed circle. The children of those high-ranking nobles, even if their mechanical talents are not so outstanding, are destined to be in high positions of power in the future.
But in the academy, most of those who study hardest are small nobles from poor families.
Mechanics should originally strive for talent, but in the academy, they strive more for "connections."
The dean's group has been running the college for three generations, and their network of connections has long been deeply rooted. The great nobles and those with the correct political stance always get the best resources.
This academic atmosphere has a great influence on those humble mechanics who are devoted to pursuing science and technology.
Without connections and flattery, they would not be able to apply for research resources approved by the empire, and they would not be able to use the college's large equipment.
Because of this, the development of science and technology has been greatly restricted.
Otherwise, how could Mr. Tust surpass this era by twenty years on his own
Talent is only one of them, environmental factors are the most important reason.
... ...
It can be said that the academic environment at Oma College is worse than it was thirty years ago.
Tust's words stung the students and instructors who wanted to learn steam technology but did not want to flatter them.
Mechanics who focus on research are scientists! It's a researcher! She’s not a famous lady from the imperial capital!
Where did they waste so much time in socializing, socializing, and flattery to find a partner
