Hearing the words of the hooked-nosed middle-aged man, the expressions of the few people who struck up a conversation with Du Dian were a little embarrassed. Tifanmi glanced at this person, and whispered to Du Dian next to him: "Don't be surprised, his name is Gusta, and his personality is just like that."
Du Dian smiled slightly, thinking that if it was just due to his personality, he would be a pretty good character.
"Everyone, since everyone is almost here and the time is up, let's start today's magic seminar." Sitting at the head was an old man in his sixties, wearing a red padded jacket, and said with a smile.
Everyone restrained slightly, showing a bit of seriousness.
"The theme of this seminar is a continuation of the last 'Plant Illustrated Book'. Last time we discussed 'Blue Concubine', this time it is 'Prickly Mango', which ranks fifth among poisonous plants. This is' As for the basic information on 'Pricking Man', if you are familiar with 'Pricking Man' before, you can express your opinions." The old man in the red padded jacket distributed the stack of materials in his hand, and everyone had a copy.
Du Dian took his share and passed the rest to the back, only to see a sketch pattern on this material, which is "thorn awn". To his surprise, this "thorny awn" looked very familiar. It was actually a plant from China that he had recently seen from the super chip. It was distributed in Northeast and North China. Its original name was "Cocklebur". This can be seen in the countryside.
"There are cockleburs in the plant illustration book inside the huge wall. It seems that the location of this huge wall is indeed in the old Russian land, near the northeast direction..." Du Dian's eyes flickered slightly.
At this time, Ti Fanmi had already spoken, and said: "Although the 'thorn mango' contains toxins, as far as I know, there was a report that in a remote town in a civilian area, there was a doctor who was treating patients. At that time, his child picked up the 'thorn awn' to play with and threw it into the medicine by mistake. As a result, after the patient took the medicine, not only was he not poisoned, but he had leprosy that could not be cured for many years, and he recovered just like that."
"So amazing?" A fifty-year-old uncle on the opposite side asked in surprise.
Du Dian nodded slightly. The treatment of leprosy is indeed one of the medicinal effects of cocklebur. Although this substance is poisonous, its medicinal effect and other economic value are quite high, so it can be regarded as "the merit outweighs the demerit".
"Prickly awn is bitter, poisonous, and can cause death. If it is poisoned in a small amount, it will cause dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain... If it is used in war, it may have a good effect, especially in the recent wildman wars outside the country. Fortresses have been breached. It is still the fortress that you, the paladin Ketos, saved with your own efforts. If you dry this thing to make powder and sway it in the wind, it should be able to play a greater role in the battle. It can also be regarded as a large-scale poisonous killing technique. !” The hooked-nosed middle-aged man who spoke earlier spoke slowly and thoughtfully with deep eyes.
When Du Dian heard this, his heart moved, and he looked at this person twice, quite interested.
"Flour-making and surrender to the enemy?" The old man in the red padded jacket was slightly startled, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Good idea, haha, as long as the wind direction is good, it can be used as a magic spell to kill poison. Even in calm weather, you can also use human power windmill to use."
"Human Windmill" is a newly released wood-type magical art, listed as a four-star medium-grade, and its maker is a wood-type master.
Du Dian nodded slightly, this is a good way, but, with the toxicity of cocklebur, it needs to invest a large amount in war to be effective, don't underestimate this difference, a large amount of investment will lead to longer investment time and distance, and These two points are the key to a war and one of the core factors that affect a war. It is difficult to achieve. Therefore, it is a good idea to use cocklebur powder into the war, but in practice, the effect is almost negligible.
When he was thinking like this, Ti Fanmi next to him shook his head and said: "If it is put into the battlefield, it is difficult for the thorn powder to float far away with a human windmill alone. If the powder is too fine, it is easy to be swept by the headwind. If it is The larger the powder particles, the less the flying distance will be, and when the enemy reaches the throwing distance of the powder, it is already a melee situation where the two armies are fighting, and the stabbing powder will hurt one's own people instead."
Her teacher is good at making military supplies, and she is also majoring in this aspect. She knows that the most important thing about military supplies is distance, so when she heard "powder surrenders to the enemy", this is the first thing that comes to mind.
When the other people heard Ti Fanmi's words, they thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"That's right, it's too risky to use it to make powder and surrender to the enemy."
"Not feasible."
Hearing the opposition from the crowd, Gusta snorted coldly and said, "If you can't make flour, you can melt water. Water is not affected by wind, right?"
Everyone was startled.
The eyes of the old man in the red padded jacket lit up, and he said happily: "Yes, if the powder is too light, if it is dissolved in water, put the water in a plastic bag and bread it, and put it on the battlefield, it will definitely have a miraculous effect!"
"This is a good idea!"
"Tsk tsk, with this method, isn't it easy for the military to kill the savages?"
Ti Fanmi frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't speak. Although she always felt that there was something wrong, she couldn't say it for a while. Suddenly, she glanced at the slender arm next to her, and suddenly remembered that she was sitting beside her. The person turned her head and glanced at the latter with a smile on her face, seeming to enjoy listening to it. She was a little disappointed in her heart. After all, the introduction is too short, and the background is still a little shallow.
Even though she was thinking this way, she still asked in a low voice: "Dean, do you have any ideas, why don't you tell everyone, so that everyone who doesn't understand can communicate with each other."
Although her voice was soft, everyone around her heard it, and they couldn't help but stop discussing, and focused their eyes on the youngest boy.
Du Dian also wanted to hear more about their ideas, hoping to inspire some other inspirations from them. Unexpectedly, Ti Fanmi suddenly pulled the firepower on him, feeling a little regretful in his heart, sighed secretly, but smiled on the surface As usual, he said: "I am greatly inspired by the words of the seniors, so I will use this to express my own humble opinion, I hope you will not make fun of it."
"Haha, you're too polite. The wood-type magical arts are extensive and profound. Who dares to say that they are omniscient and omnipotent? You just say it's okay." The old man in the red padded jacket laughed and gave Du Dian a step up.
"Yes." The others echoed.
Du Dian nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "I think the value of thorns should be divided into three fields. The first is the economic field. The stem bark fibers of thorns can be made into sacks, hemp ropes, etc. Its seeds Essential oils can be extracted to replace tung oil and fat oil, and can be processed into raw materials for high-grade spices. In addition, its powder may not only be used to fight against the enemy on the battlefield, but also can be used as insect repellent powder in daily life. , these are the economic values it provides. On the second point, the medicinal value, as Tifanmi said earlier, there were reports that this product can treat leprosy, let’s not care whether the report is a sensational gimmick, or whether it is It is true, but it is undeniable that apart from toxins, there are other things in this thing, and it may be something that can treat some diseases. Therefore, if you study it in depth, you will know whether this thing has the ability to treat or not. If the effectiveness of leprosy is available, then its value will be much greater!"
"The third is the value of war. Whether it is an overseas military war or a wealth war triggered by the first two fields, it will play a big role."
Du Dian finished speaking in one breath, looked around at the crowd, and stopped talking.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
In addition to being shocked by this long speech, some fell into deep thought of these words, so that the entire conference room was silent for a few minutes.
After a long time, the old man in the red padded jacket was the first to come back to his senses, and clapped his hands and cheered, "Well said!"
The others reacted, looked at Du Dian in amazement, and cheered with the old man in the red padded jacket. There was a trace of awe in the eyes of the young man, not only admiring Du Dian's past achievements, but the words just now made them feel that this junior It is different from their way of thinking, agile, and has a strong overall planning ability. This way of thinking can see many things that they can't see at the moment.
Having delved into divine arts to this point, some of them have been immersed in this way for decades, knowing that it is not their own knowledge, but their own way of thinking that hinders their progress!
Knowledge can be learned, but the way of thinking is difficult to change, and this will also determine a person's life.
"It can be classified into these three ways. It's the first time I feel that I can see the problem so clearly. I have learned it." Ti Fanmi looked at Du Dian, with a hint of admiration and appreciation on his mature and intellectual face.
Du Dian smiled slightly. As a person of the old age, his way of thinking is affected by the social environment, and he likes to systematically classify things, which will make things clearer and clearer. In the early backward society, the boundaries between many things were blurred, it was difficult to classify the details, and there were no such strong concepts. It seems that as society and technology develop more advanced, the division of anything becomes more difficult. Meticulous, this is just like the research in the scientific world, from the macro to the micro, and the same is true of social systems.
"Mr. Du's thinking is really quick. Could it be that he has studied the thorn awn in depth before? I never thought of making the stem bark of this thing into a hemp rope. According to what you said, this little thorn awn , It’s really a treasure!” A 60-year-old man on the opposite side sighed.
Du Dian smiled, "Thank you."
"I didn't expect a small thorn awn to have such an effect. According to Mr. Du, other plants are even more effective. No wonder Mr. Du has achieved such an achievement at a young age. I am convinced!" Another medium The young man laughed.
The old man in the red padded jacket said with a smile: "Today's magic seminar is over, and it is estimated that the ranking of thorny awns in the plant illustration will change. Mr. Du analyzed the thorny awns so thoroughly, it's amazing!"
Du Dian was a little helpless. He thought he could hear some interesting things when he came here today, but he didn't expect it to be a meeting to compliment himself. He sighed secretly, still smiling on the surface, and said: "That's all I have, the rest The next thing is to listen to the seniors, if you say it, I will listen."
The old man in the red padded jacket smiled and said: "You don't have to be too modest, we are all high-level envoys, we only talk about rank, regardless of age, do you have anything else to add about the prickly awn?"
Everyone looked at each other, the hooked-nosed old man took a deep look at Du Dian, and slowly said: "If you count the effect of turning water into the enemy that I proposed, the effect of this piercing light should have been exerted to the extreme."
"Not bad." The old man in his sixties nodded in agreement.
Others immediately seconded.
Du Dian didn't agree with this in his heart. The so-called role of war was just something he said incidentally. After all, there were so many people who seconded the opponent's point of view before. If he completely overturned it, wouldn't they all be slapped on the spot? He will not offend unnecessary others for the sake of quick talk, and in real life, it is not that you are good, others will obey you, if you let others lose face, no matter how good you are, others will hate you, Harm you!
Therefore, express yourself also need to be measured.
Seeing that Du Dian had no objections, the middle-aged man with the hooked nose seemed to relax a little with his tense and indifferent face, and said: "Since you have no objections, let's submit the results of this magical seminar to the temple. Believe this A divine art research paper can make people in the temple give a higher evaluation."
The old man in the red padded jacket laughed and said: "Mr. Du's concept alone can earn a lot of points. According to our old rules, whoever puts forward the conclusion will get the reward points. If there is no comment, 10% of the total points will be regarded as participation points. This time we submitted a total of three theories, which are the three fields that Mr. Du just mentioned, all of which are recorded under Mr. Du's signature."
"I have no objection." Ti Fanmi responded quickly and was the first to agree.
Others quickly agreed.
The hooked-nosed middle-aged man's expression sank, and he said, "The first two theories belong to Mr. Du, and I have no objection, but the third theory in the field of war was first proposed by me, and Mr. Du only proposed the theoretical concept of the field of war. , and there is no actual use instruction, so the signature of this article should not be counted on his head, right?"
The old man in the red padded jacket was slightly stunned, looked at Du Dian, and saw the latter smiling, as if he didn't care, and he was a little relieved in his heart. Compared with the middle-aged man with hooked nose, Du Dian naturally has greater potential, but He also didn't want to offend the hooked-nosed middle-aged man, after all, excluding Du Dian, the latter was considered the youngest person in this conference room.
"Mr. Du, what do you think?" the old man in the red padded jacket asked.
Du Dian smiled and said, "I have no objection."
The old man in the red cotton jacket breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then it's decided, let's stop here today, I'll go first." After speaking, he turned and left the meeting room first.
Others greeted Du Dian and left one after another.
Tifanmi smiled at Du Dian: "You are indeed a genius. You can earn points wherever you go. It is extremely difficult for us to earn a little points. In the past, we discussed for several hours at the magic seminar. I didn’t even get points for the conclusion, so it’s a waste of time. This time it’s over in less than half an hour, and your theory is very novel. I’m sure, there will definitely be points for rewards, and it will be your credit by then. , Earn a little points for nothing.”
Du Dian smiled wryly, you earned it, but I lost it. It wasn't the points that I lost, but time.
