Chapter 176 Archaeologists (for readers who read the book silently
"Hehe, haha..."
Before entering the racecourse, Sean heard bursts of shouts.
No need to ask, Skullcrusher McGee is competing with the Hexagonal Bull again!
The Hexagonal Bull is different from the war horse. It is born with a stubborn streak in its temperament, which makes it difficult to use the method of taming a war horse on it.
If its stubbornness is not smoothed out, there is no possibility of taming it.
Skullcrusher McGee also has such a stubborn streak in his character. He was completely inspired by the hexagonal bull. He didn't believe that he, a champion knight, couldn't even handle a cow.
The competition that was not completed at the beginning was moved to the racecourse to continue.
However, Skullcrusher McGee is not one of those idiots who doesn't know how to turn around. He ignores his own advantages and foolishly runs on the back of a bull with his bare hands to bullfight.
He commissioned a custom-made bull saddle from the arsenal and installed it on the hexagonal bull while it was being mauled.
The thick-skinned hexagonal bull was not as delicate as a war horse. Once the saddle was put on it, it was never taken off.
Skullcrusher McGee would come and ride on it no matter what, and every time it was an endurance competition.
The most exaggerated one was that one person and one cow ran wildly around the racecourse for a day and a night without eating or drinking. When I came to see him the next day, he was still in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue.
From that time on, Skullcrusher McGee knew that it was basically impossible to make the opponent surrender by draining his opponent's energy.
We can only take the same path as Sean, let the other person get used to it slowly, and then think of other ways.
However, when he entered the racecourse, Sean discovered that his guess was wrong. The ones shouting in the arena were Skullcrusher McGee and Hexagonal Bull. However, it was not a competition, but a drunken madness.
Yes, the Hexagonal Bull was indeed drunk, and he was so drunk that he staggered when he jumped around.
To feed his future mount with wine, only Skullcrusher McGee in the entire Yongye Army could do it.
Apparently, he slapped his head and came up with the tricks to deal with Andis Tiger Tagore.
Don't tell me, stupid tricks sometimes have unexpected effects.
When the black horse entered the racecourse, he didn't know how to provoke them. At this moment, Skullcrusher McGee was riding a hexagonal bull, chasing after it.
The hexagonal bull has a big body and long strides. When it runs wildly, it is not much inferior to an ordinary war horse, but it is not inferior to a black horse by more than a quarter.
However, the Hexagonal Bull has a magic-like talent - Bull Rush.
Once it is used, it is as if there is an invisible force pushing it, running hundreds of meters at an incredible speed - at least beyond its running speed limit.
Of course, invisible power is just an illusion. In fact, the talent organization of the hexagonal bull is not much different from that of the Odin orc of the Leopard tribe and the steppe wolf. It is relatively more complicated. In addition to increasing the explosive power of the legs,
It can also offset gravity to a certain extent, reduce the weight of the hexagonal bull, increase the running pace and frequency at the same time, and the burst of speed is naturally terrifying.
What's even more frightening is that when the magic-like talent is used, the hexagonal bull is basically in an attack state, with its head lowered and not looking at the road, and one person and one bull are in a drunken state, which can be said to be rampaging, in front of its hexagonal bull.
, the log guardrails on both sides of the racecourse look like paper.
The Hexagonal Barbarian Bull seems to have endless physical strength and energy, and its magic-like talents are as useful as drinking cold water. It has been used four or five times in a row, and it is still full of energy. People can't help but wonder whether there is something in its body.
Taiwan perpetual motion machine.
Dark Horse Treading Fire was forced into a bit of a panic by this guy who didn't play according to common sense, and had to activate his magic-like talent.
The dark horse talent is also about speed, making its advantage even more prominent.
This is also the most valuable part of the dark horse. If its magic-like talent is really like those beast bosses, it can make up for its shortcomings. Instead, the Evernight Army will have to consider whether to use it as a stallion.
After all, for soldiers, the speed and endurance of the war horse are the most important, and the attack ability is not important.
It is also a speed magic talent. When the dark horse is used, it has a unique sense of elegance, and the mane and tail seem to be flying.
In such a chaotic scene, even if Sean had the courage, he would not dare to go in and interfere.
The commotion only lasted for less than half an hour. The Hexagonal Barbarian Bull suddenly collapsed halfway through the spell-like talent display for the eighth time.
When I got closer, I realized that I had lost all strength and was fast asleep.
The energy of the Hexagonal Bull is not endless.
"Treading on Fire!?" When Sean rushed over, the dark horse Treading on Fire was flashing his hooves in a sneaky way. When Sean stopped him, he still looked innocent like I didn't do anything, which was very troublesome.
How could a wild horse have such a strong sense of revenge? Who did he learn this bad trait from?
Fortunately, there are only a few people with IQs that can reach the level of a dark horse, otherwise the entire Andis Mountain would become a hell on earth.
Once you enter the forest, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at you. Just thinking about this possibility makes people shudder.
The speed of research must be accelerated. If the problem is not found and solved as soon as possible, it will not take long for the Andis people to really be driven out of the mountains.
But studying this kind of thing requires not only hard work, but also a little bit of luck.
There is no doubt about the efforts of the Yongye Group Army. Not only did they respond immediately, they also mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to form a specialized scientific research team. The number of auxiliary personnel serving this matter alone was no less than ten thousand.
With this reaction speed, the Yongye Army cannot be ranked first, but it can definitely be ranked among the top few.
But luck was a little lacking. Not only did the research at the Biological Anomaly Research Institute encounter a bottleneck, but Sean's method of finding clues from the ancient books of the Ancient Andis Empire also yielded very little results.
For this reason, Sean had to take time to visit Mr. Lan Xili, whom he had met all year round.
The two of them are both teachers and friends, and they both respectfully call each other teacher. Most of Sean's knowledge of the Ancient Andis Empire was taught to him by him. He can be called the Ancient Andis Empire Master in the Andis Mountains.
There are a large number of precious ancient Andis Empire documents and classics, many of which are even unique and unique.
I don’t know if my temperament will become the same if I read too much.
Sean still remembers the sense of time and space dislocation when he first met Lan Xili. If the other person hadn't had an authentic Andis face, Sean would have thought he was meeting an ancient literati.
This old man, who is over sixty years old, has a unique aura in every move he makes. It is a temperament that has been influenced by cultural knowledge. Coupled with his kind eyebrows and kind eyes, people can't help but feel good about him at the first sight.
However, this old gentleman did not have the pedantic air of a scholar. On the contrary, he was quite impatient. When he met Sean for the first time, he grabbed his hand and asked impatiently: "The papermaking technology you mentioned in the last Shanying summons"
And printing, how's it going?"
As the most wise man among the Andis people that Sean knew, he had the idea of inviting him to come out soon after the Evernight Army was established. After all, the other party had the reputation of being a living map of the Andis Mountains.
Lan Xili did not refuse, but there was only one prerequisite, which was to take away all the ancient Andis Empire documents and classics he had collected over the years.
This stumped Xiao En, because Lan Xili's entire home, including several miles around, was part of the literature and classics.
Some classics are too old to be preserved. If they want to compile them into volumes again, Lan Xili doesn't have that much financial resources.
Compared to Sean who applied what he learned, Lan Xili was often just a pure historical researcher, who was more interested in storing and preserving knowledge. He was relatively unable to apply this aspect, and he had some spare money in his hands, which he also used to collect more documents.
In desperation, Lan Xili could only treat his home and the surrounding rocks as scrolls, and hammered them into pens and paper. He could not even remember how many books he had left around.
Although Sean mobilized a small team of people to assist Lan Xili in sorting out the classics, the speed was quite slow. After all, there were only a few people who were proficient in the ancient Andis Empire literature and classics, including Lan Xili's direct students. Many people were very interested in Gu Andis.
Imperial history is not of interest.
Lan Xili was not at ease if it was left to others to sort out. At most they would just be a helper, but the real main force was Lan Xili himself.
After all, she is getting older, and Lan Xili's own cultivation talent is not very high. She has never been able to become a knight in her whole life. She has always been sick and her finishing speed is not ideal. She has not even finished one third of it.
After nearly three years of practice, Sean discovered that there were indeed many good things recorded in the ancient Andis Empire documents and books.
The recent changes in Andis Mountain are vaguely related to the ancient Andis Empire. He needs Lan Xili, a master of the ancient Andis Empire, more and more.
Since there is no way to invite him out of the mountain for the time being, we can only send someone to set up a Shanying communication point at his place to facilitate the exchange of letters between the two.
Lan Xili knew that the Yongye Group Army was researching papermaking and printing. Not only did she know about it, she also made suggestions, and she was also the one who paid the most attention to this research and development project.
Publish a book and write a biography.
It is the ultimate dream of every man of letters, and this applies to any world.
Lan Xili is no exception. He has a bigger heart than ordinary scholars. Not only does he want to publish a book and biography, he also wants to print the ancient Andis Empire documents he has collected over the years into a book and spread it widely.
As for the concept of printing into books, naturally it came from Sean.
Lan Xili and Xiao En can become close friends. Naturally, they can agree on many concepts and even resonate with each other.
Lan Xili strongly agrees with Sean's point of view. There is no way to spread a kind of knowledge widely and put it into practice. It can just be shelved in a shelf. Even the magic of dragon slaying is no different from a pile of rubbish.
Unique and original documents mean high value, but they also mean they are easy to destroy. Once damaged, they will be completely lost.
Originally, this was an unattainable dream, but as the Yongye Army grew and grew, papermaking and printing technologies have begun to take shape.
Lan Xili seemed a little impatient, and would ask Sean in every letter. If he hadn't been unable to leave, he would have gone to the papermaking workshop to guard him.
As she gets older, Lan Xili becomes more eager to do anything.
This is a common problem among all elderly people. They always feel that they have limited time, but there are many things that need to be done.
"It's coming soon, it's coming soon. The production process of papermaking has basically taken shape. However, the straw paper made from straw is too soft and too thin to be used as a book record. Now we are trying other materials. It is said that the effect is good. I believe it will be available in the next year."
Once there are results, once the finished product is produced, a part of it will be sent over as soon as possible, sir, don’t worry.”
Sean, who is well aware of Lan Xili's nature, went to the papermaking workshop to check out the progress before coming.
After two and a half years, this small workshop with only a small team of researchers has become a large workshop with two hundred people. The production process has also changed from a dozen at the beginning to hundreds now. From the initial aquatic plants
, starting with wheat straw, and now the wood pulp, the paper is being smashed out.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. When the construction was just started, except for Sean, who knew only a little about it, the carefully selected soldiers were all confused and could only follow the general direction Sean said and fumble.
For example, water plants, wheat straw, and wood are crushed, ground into pulp, filtered and cooled, and made into paper that can be written on.
But how to crush it?
How to grind pulp?
How to filter and cool?
What kind of tools are used?
To what extent is the consistency controlled?
I don't know any of this, and Sean never worked in a paper mill in his previous life. Even if he did, there would be basically no reference value, because Sean had already achieved industrialized production in his previous life, and those modern production machines were also incapable of doing anything.
In this situation without any reference materials, everything was started from scratch. The various attempts and tribulations experienced during it were indescribable to outsiders. The first team of researchers almost turned their heads white.
But when the first piece of paper, which is even sparser than the roughest linen, is made, the excitement is not something ordinary people can experience.
Because the implication is significant, not only are they one step closer to success, but it also means that their direction is correct and the early manpower and material resources have not been in vain.
Ninety-nine percent of those who can be selected as scientific researchers in this core department are young people who have studied with Sean, because only people with a certain degree of knowledge can carry out this kind of research and development work. If it is replaced by those who cannot read a single Chinese character,
Mountain people, let alone taking the initiative to use your brain to solve the problem when you encounter it, even if you follow the gourd and draw the scoop, you may be like a fool.
People who have received a certain basic education are not necessarily smart people, and people who have not received education are not necessarily stupid.
But it is inevitable that people who have received a certain basic education have more flexible minds than illiterate people.
To be honest, even these carefully selected scientific researchers, in Sean's eyes, are not much better than the old farmers who couldn't read a word in the previous life, because the latter lived in the era of the information explosion, and they would know everything through hearing and seeing.
Many things - TV, radio, and gossip - all spread knowledge invisibly, but many people have become accustomed to it, and they are far less profound than when Sean was thrown into a completely closed world.
However, they are already the best talents in Sean's hands. Even if they are placed in the Ashan continent, Sean has never seen the bachelors of the Warlock Alliance and dare not compare them. But in the Manyu Army
Judging from what they saw and heard over the winter, they can already be ranked at the forefront.
The overall environment is like this. If you want talents, you need to cultivate them bit by bit. If you want to popularize education on a large scale, paper is the foundation. Anyway, it is a vicious circle.
Fortunately, it took them two and a half years to create a gap.
Perhaps because of the style of the book, many readers who like this book have already read all of The Prosperous Age and no longer have so much passion. They prefer to read the book silently, subscribe in full, and vote silently, without leaving any comments on the book or this chapter.
There is no trace, only the fan list is hanging high! It is such readers who support most of the achievements of a book! In short, I am very grateful to such readers, and add a chapter in return! Thank you!
