The students of Baron Rictor's Magic Academy are a little strange. The classes in the academy are originally scheduled early every day, but today there is an extra class inexplicably.
The name of this class is very weird, it's called Basics of Magic Mechanical Theory.
Moreover, this class is a very rare open class, open to all students in the entire academy, which means that any student of Baron Rictor Magic Academy can participate as long as he is willing.
Students in adolescence are naturally full of curiosity, so although participation in this class was not compulsory, when the class started, more than half of the students in the entire college crowded into the large lecture hall used for teaching.
The leaders of the college probably did not expect so many students to come to attend the class when they arranged this class. Although the arranged classroom was already the largest lecture hall in the college, more than half of the students poured in, which not only overwhelmed the class Every seat in the lecture hall was occupied, and even the remaining empty seats in the lecture hall were filled to the point where there was no room to stay.
Orin Zetaman was one of the first students to rush into the lecture hall. He was occupying a seat in the front row of the lecture hall and was talking loudly with several classmates around him.
"Evan, I dare to bet you that the teacher who will give a lecture soon will definitely be President Xu Yixu. Do you dare to bet with me?" Ou Lin said provocatively to a slender boy on his right.
The boy named Evan snorted disdainfully: "You are talking nonsense. In this entire city of Bangta, besides President Xu, is there anyone who knows about magic machinery? Can you find another person to come out? No? If I bet with you, it would be my fault."
"That's right, Orin, your bet is too ridiculous. I think we might as well bet on what President Xu will say for a while." A boy a little further away also agreed.
"Basics of Magic Mechanical Theory... From the name of this class, it should be just a brief introduction. After all, this is only the first time that President Xu has given a lecture. If he lectures too deeply, I think a lot of people here may be confused." I don't understand." Sitting on Olin's left side was a girl with smooth blond hair. She pointed at the students in the lecture hall behind her who were looking forward to and doubting.
"That is, apart from us, who among these guys knows anything about magic machinery." Orin said confidently.
If Xu Yi were here, he would find that the students sitting in a group with Ou Lin are the same students who have been working part-time in the factory to draw magic circles in the past few months.
Compared to other students in Baron Rictor's Magic Academy, they are indeed qualified to say this.
However, Olin said this a little too loudly, and was heard by some students not far behind him, which immediately aroused their dissatisfaction.
"Hey, Orin, why are you so arrogant? You just worked for a few days at the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Do you really think you know how much you know about magic machines? I heard that you only draw the simplest magic there. It's just a formation, so if you know anything about magical machinery, I think you only have a superficial understanding of it." A boy snorted.
Orin turned around without showing any signs of weakness, raised his neck and said, "Even if I know something superficial, I still know more than you. What? Are you not convinced?"
The boy suddenly became furious, pointed at Olin and shouted: "Good boy, if you dare, don't leave after school!"
Ou Lin groaned: "If you don't want to leave, you won't leave. Who is afraid of whom?"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two was about to escalate, a teacher walked into the lecture hall at that moment. The students immediately recognized that this was Hiller, the director of the college, who was always known for his strictness, and they fell silent instantly.
Olin and the boy glared at each other, and could only temporarily stop their activities and focus on the front.
Hiller glanced around and saw the quiet lecture hall, then nodded with satisfaction, then coughed lightly and said loudly: "Students, let us warmly welcome Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce!"
Ou Lin and several classmates around him exchanged looks of "Sure enough," and then clapped vigorously.
Xu Yi walked sideways to the podium and immediately saw Ou Lin and others sitting at the front. He smiled and nodded to them, then raised his right hand. The students fell silent and stared at him with curious eyes.
During this period, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce launched a series of novel magic machines, which can be said to have attracted countless attention in Bangta City and stole the show.
Many traditional magicians denounce these magic machines as nonsense or even an insult to magic. However, for the rebellious students of Baron Rector Magic Academy, they find them very interesting, which makes them I am very interested in Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the inventor of these magical machines.
Although they had long known that Xu Yi was only a young man in his twenties from rumors about Ou Lin and others, after seeing Xu Yi in person, the students were still surprised by his youth.
In the eyes of these students, learning magic is a very difficult thing, and being able to master the magic array proficiently, even modify the magic array at will, and integrate it with those cold iron machines is almost incredible. things.
This President Xu Yixu doesn't look much older than them, but not only does he have such a strong level of magic, he also has so many amazing and weird ideas.
Facing the students' curious eyes, Xu Yi spoke.
"Students, I know you don't like to listen to nonsense, so let me get to the point. The reason why I asked Director Hiller to help me arrange this class today is actually not to educate everyone as a teacher, but I’m here to talk to you. As for what to talk about? Of course it’s about magic machinery. The name of this class is the foundation of magic machinery, so I’ll talk about this foundation.”
"I think everyone now knows something about the products of our New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and you should also understand what magic machinery is. As for magic machinery, as students of Baron Rector Magic Academy, you are obviously familiar with magic. I know more about it, but I am a little unfamiliar with the term machinery, so the focus of my talk today will be on machinery.”
"The so-called machine is a tool. Using this tool, people can complete some tasks more easily and effortlessly, and can also reduce the difficulty of some tasks. To give the simplest example, when digging soil, I think everyone Instead of digging directly with your hands, you will choose a shovel, because with a shovel, it will be easier and more convenient. Then the shovel is actually a machine. "
"Of course, a shovel is just a very simple machine, but the machine I want to talk about is relatively more complicated. Students should know that our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce just launched a magic rice cooker some time ago. This is an ordinary The specific function of the household magic machine is to cook rice. Without the magic rice cooker, if you want to eat rice or porridge at home, you must use firewood to make a fire, and then cook the rice in the pot. Cooked. With the Magic Rice Cooker, you only need to pour rice and an appropriate amount of water into the Magic Rice Cooker, then press the switch and wait patiently for a while, then it will cook automatically. , is this more convenient?”
"Magic machinery can also be called magic machinery. Because machinery is the foundation, and magic is the power used to drive the machinery. Students are all studying magic, and they should be very clear that the power of magic is very powerful. So what do you have I never thought about using magic in other ways besides killing enemies. I thought about it, so I designed the magic machine. Today I don’t want to discuss what magic should be used for. Let me introduce to you what magic machinery can be used for. For example, the magic rice cooker can be used to cook rice, the small magic harvester can harvest food more easily, the magic fan can blow out cool wind... There are many things that magic can do. Our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is still in its infancy, and I believe that everyone will see a variety of magical machines in the future, and I believe that these magical machines will definitely change everyone’s lives little by little.”
"Why can magic machines do this? This is the theme of our class today. The reason why magic can be used as power and used to drive machines to complete tasks that are difficult for humans to complete actually involves some quite professional skills. Knowledge. And this knowledge is the basic concept of magic machinery theory, that is, magic as power and machinery as manifestation...
…
At first, the students were just a little skeptical and did not listen too seriously.
However, as Xu Yi continued to speak in depth, the expressions on the students' faces gradually became more focused.
The theories Xu Yi talked about were completely unheard of for students.
Young students are already in a stage where they are trying their best to absorb information from the outside world. New and interesting things like magic machine theory will certainly interest them.
So Xu Yi spoke more and more enthusiastically, and the students listened more and more enthusiastically.
It wasn't until Director Hiller came in to remind him for the third time that Xu Yi woke up and found that the sky outside had turned dusky, but it was already past school time.
Xu Yi had no choice but to announce that today's class was over.
The students were not satisfied with what they heard, and they all asked Xu Yi to talk more.
In this regard, Xu Yi could only say helplessly that he could only come here today, and also hinted that he would continue to give lectures in the future. If they are interested, students can come again to listen to the lectures.
The students then let Xu Yi go and left the lecture hall while discussing with each other enthusiastically.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the students, Director Hiller sighed, shook his head at Xu Yi and said, "President Xu, I really shouldn't have agreed to let you teach this class. You see, so many students are You have aroused their interest, and I am worried that they will be distracted in class in the future. "
Xu Yi chuckled: "How could that be? Director Hiller, my lecture today has always been about magic. It's a good thing that students are interested in this. They will definitely have a stronger interest in learning magic in the future. You should be happy about this.”
"Are you sure they are more interested in magic than magic machines?" Director Hiller snorted coldly.
Xu Yi laughed, thinking that he had donated five hundred gold coins to Baron Riktor's Magic Academy in one go, and then forced Vivian into Baron Riktor's Magic Academy in exchange for the opportunity to teach. If we can't take advantage of this to plant the seeds of becoming magical mechanical engineers in the hearts of these students, then these five hundred gold coins will be too much wasted.
As a businessman, how could he do such a loss-making thing
