Chapter 214 Ascension

"Put this rune verification with me first. I will help you go over the process and perfect the structure. If successful, I will organize it into a file and submit it to the government office to apply for funds for formal production. Yes, let's process an aerostat. question."

The dean rubbed his brow, pulled out a stack of reports from the desktop, opened the folder, and flipped through the neat papers. He took out a thinner stack of paper and handed it to Zhong Yan who was standing in front of him. He took out another piece of paper and quickly wrote down the lord's design requirements for the aeroboat on it, and stacked it with the paper.

This entire report was originally a scientific research report submitted to the lord to inform him of the progress of various scientific research projects in the territory, with detailed research information in the attachment.

Make two copies and keep one copy with the college. One copy was given to Ji Lin for confirmation and then stored in the archives next to the City Hall for backup.

The monthly research report that the dean of the college handed to Zhong Yan at this time was the monthly research report that was to be kept in the territory. It was about the aerospace craft research report that was newly delivered this month.

"If you need anything, you can just come and apply with me. You can also visit the aerostat at will."

After the dean finished speaking, he asked Zhong Yan to leave the office and said several words of encouragement to him.

Since this kid is so talented in runes and engineering, we might as well let him try to overcome the problem. If it doesn't work out, there's no problem with the dean taking over.

After all, the president of the academy has basically solved the problem of the floating stone engine. After countless improvements, the efficiency of the imitation version is 20% lower than the original one. This 20% improvement caused him to lose a few more hairs. In the end, he could only consider tampering with the structural frame to recover this 20% loss.

And what he gave Zhong Yan was exactly such a task: to design a territorially produced airship that was barely usable given the engine conditions.

Maybe this child can be better than him. The principal sighed and looked through the lesson plan for tomorrow's class.

I have classes during the day, research in the evening, and take half a day off on Saturdays and Sundays.

The lord 껥 had taken the time to have a long talk with the college dean about the plan for the territory's first 괗뎃. He wanted to establish a foothold on the small floating island first. The aerospace craftsman 뇾 who was exploring other sky islands was not so anxious. The small sky island he had harvested now was enough for his territory to digest for a while.

The territory also needs to expand its agricultural planting area and the number of agricultural product processing facilities during this development period.

It was also during this long discussion that the scientific research plan to be completed in the next half-six months was decided.

The dean looked at the various notes pinned to the wall on the right and pulled out one of them. There were also two rows of notes posted on the wall. I collapsed on the chair, thinking about just slumping on the chair and closing my eyes for a while.

‘R\u0026D on the production process of custom-loaded paper shell bullets’

‘Refrigeration and preservation technology’

‘Steam Spider improves mass production plan (adds pumice stone to reduce the strength requirements of the body material, and attempts mass production)’

‘Improved 30mm small-caliber support artillery (infantry anti-materiel support artillery, requiring continuous firing to reach 20 consecutive firings)’

‘Rune Device Reverse’

‘Improvement of fishing nets (the burlap currently used in the territory does not perform well in deeper waters, is easily damaged, and has poor load-bearing capacity)’

‘Mechanical manufacturing and smelting (complete the research on the steel frying method and replace the crucible metallurgy in the current territory. The hydrogen metallurgy technology is too difficult to achieve)’

...

The dean leaned back in his chair and covered his face.

There are still a lot of things that have not been done, but the lord also has a week off, and the principal of the college is embarrassed to be not as diligent as the lord.

So let's ask the elf who wanders around the territory doing nothing every day to come over and take over two classes tomorrow. She is taking a botany class that her students like very much. The only drawback is that it is quite troublesome to throw out all the plants that grow wildly in the classroom after each class.

He felt like he needed a good day's rest.

——————

Zhongyan lowered his head and flipped the paper in his hand, and the data on it flowed into his mind bit by bit. Every line of numbers, every calculation, along with the dean's description on the paper, created an image of a fat elliptical sphere in his mind.

Such a clumsy thing can actually fly with the help of the strategic resource of floating stone, helping them touch the sky for who knows how many eras in advance.

He also eavesdropped on the conversation between the lord and his mother... He didn't know whether the person who cultivated him carefully and gave him a name was considered his mother. Chongshan asked himself to learn from him and tried to increase his territory, but he never asked him for anything more.

They said they would create a wing-like thing to help humans fly into the sky, and then the lord folded a piece of paper to create a rather exquisite paper model. He said it was called a paper airplane. Then he handed it to Zhongyan and asked him to try to throw it out.

Zhongyan looked at the research record in his hand and unknowingly turned to the last page. On the last page was the structural diagram of the floating stone keel engine hand-drawn by the dean.

Such a small stack of paper is everything the territory understands about the aerospace craft, and it is also the limit of analysis in this month.

The dean of the college was absolutely wrong. He was not very good at engineering. He was just more sensitive to runes than usual.

He could clearly feel every trace of energy flowing through the runes. They were intertwined and connected like living creatures, reaching a certain resonance and releasing the required properties.

His eyes could not feel the energy flow as he described. The runes in their eyes were dead, like a piece of mud mixed with water and dried in the sun, dry, hard and solid.

If you want to ascend to the sky, knowing only runes is not enough.

So he studied engineering very hard.

If you don't know the problem, ask, and if you don't understand something, read.

For engineering design problems, he spent half the time asking the eyes and half the time thinking. When other people were gathering for barbecues and stealing wild fruits, he was reading hard - if he was tired, he would run out and climb up the tall tree with them to pick fruits.

Only because of this, his progress in engineering barely kept up with the top 20% in the academy.

Chongyan's amazing talent in runes made everyone ignore his shortcomings in engineering, but shortcomings are shortcomings, and they will not appear perfect just because he thinks.

He looked up and saw the window where people were having a picnic under the tree. A little higher, he saw the wide canopy of the tree, which covered the surroundings in its shade. Even higher, there were white seabirds flying over the roof of the college with their wings spread.

The delicate paper plane flew out from Zhongyan's hand, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and the spread paper wings looked like angel wings in the light. He ran to catch up with the paper plane and catch it in his hand, but it glided in the air on the wind, flying higher and higher.

Until the paper plane disappeared in the light.
