After the idea for the musket ca to Chi Langs mind, he went to the library to look through the materials, and also bought all the newspapers on the market to study.
However, there were very few descriptions of muskets in these docunts, only limited to the use of muskets in certain wars, the harm caused by muskets, etc. There was no description of the current developnt level of muskets, nor the principles of muskets.
More in-depth content about muskets was still in that Magic Research Journal.
Chi Lang guessed that there should be a group of magicians studying this aspect of muskets, but there were not many people studying it.
He kind of wanted to enter this small group of researchers.
After thinking about it, he could only inquire from Luth.
On this day, Chi Lang inquired after delivering the food to Les: Mr. Luth, I saw the announcent you left at the announcent office before, and you posted a ssage about recruiting assistants
The laboratory seed to have the sll of decaying wood that never lted. Luth buried his head in the thick docunt, and after hearing this, he slowly raised his head and glanced at Chi Lang.
He was old, and his eyes were a little cloudy, but when he looked at him like this, Chi Lang was shocked, as if he could see through his thoughts.
Luth sneered: Youre another person who didnt learn magic well, right?
How did he know? Chi Lang continued: I really didnt study very well in magic, but I saw your paper before, for the musket
Young man, Luth interrupted, I have t many students like you, with diocre qualifications in magic, and under the guise of being interested in musketry, co to as an assistant so as to get a graduation diploma.
His eyes narrowed, you cant even learn sothing as simple as magic, and you say to that you want to explore the secrets of technology.
Luths words made Chi Lang feel a little guilty. After coming here, he really didnt work very hard in his studies partly because he accepted the fact that he couldnt do magic, and partly because he wasnt willing to abandon his previous system of knowledge to accept a new one.
Why dont you let try it, and if it doesnt work, you can fire at any ti?
Luth looked him up and down: You said you were interested in muskets, why? Wouldnt magic be easier if you want to have power?
Chi Lang hesitated for a mont and replied, Because of so reasons in my body, I cant use magic now
Luth snorted, looked away from Chi Lang, and looked at the docunt in front of him again.
But in this period of ti when I cant use magic, I have co to realize that magic is only for a few people, no matter how powerful the magicians are, it is only the power in the hands of a few people, and this kind of power is impossible for people without talent to even get a glimpse
But muskets, as well as other technologies, their greatest charm is that they give ordinary people power, which allows ordinary people to protect themselves without waiting for magicians or knights to save themselves.
Very moving words, Luth looked up again as he rubbed his temples, though I dont entirely agree with you.
there are tis when having the power of magic isnt a good thing.
Never mind, lets not talk about that, Luth stood up. you barely impressed , since you said you want to learn about it, lets start with these.
Then Luth walked to the corner, where there were piles of old books almost as tall as him, and beckoned to Chi Lang.
You study all the books in here first, and then well talk about the rest, Luth said.
Chi Langs eyes twitched, and he opened his mouth: What books are these?
The history of the developnt of the musket, its drawbacks, the possibility of improving the rate of fire and the accuracy, and the effect of the musket on various monsters, and so other miscellaneous The ti limit is set in half a month.
Youd better learn faster, faster than you think After all, new knowledge erges every minute and every second in this world, while you are still struggling to study these basics, others are already creating new things.
You have to keep going all the ti to catch up with others.
Luth returned to his desk and said as he walked, In addition, I will find a watchmaker and a locksmith for you. You can learn from them, improve your hands-on ability, and learn so chanical craftsmanship by the way.
Okay. Chi Lang could only agree.
Lastly, do your best to enter the Magic Research Association. So materials are strictly forbidden to outsiders, and it is not convenient for to show you. You cant bring these books of mine out of the laboratory.
Okay.
By the way, whats your na?
Micah Rahman.
Are you Micah Rahman? I rember that the person with that na still owes five silver coins. That ti I taught the magic potion class, he borrowed five silver coins from to buy magic materials.
Why do I owe money again? How many money relationships does the original owner have that he didnt handle properly?
Fortunately, Chi Lang had so savings at this ti, and just about to pay off this small debt, Luth said, No need to pay it back, Im not going to ask the students for such a little money.
After that, Luth stopped talking. He didnt care about Chi Lang, he had seen too many such students who started out confidently and then often gave up on the research. The information he showed to Chi Lang was only the most superficial information.
For this study, its better to have less diocre people and more people who are really willing to give.
Chi Lang waited for a while but didnt hear Luth speak again. He looked up and saw that Luth was back in his work again.
Chi Lang stood for a while, then walked to the corner, took the book, and started to read.
read at
During the holidays, the traffic in the pub was low, and Mrs. White had stopped letting him help in the pub recently, so Chi Lang could stay in this lab during the evenings.
He had never been a person who studied very hard. He couldnt keep reading for a long ti. Chi Lang saw that the sky was almost dark and was about to say goodbye to Luth. But when he left, Luth was still concentrating on his work.
Chi Lang slowly walked back to the dormitory area. He first went to play cards with Joyce, with whom he had recently beco familiar, and after playing, he slowly wandered back to his dormitory.
Sheffield hadnt co back yet and should still be in the opera house.
After lying on the bed for a while, without any sleepiness, he suddenly rembered Luth, thinking about what he said about new knowledge, and felt uneasy in his conscience, so he left a note to Sheffield and ran to the lab again.
Luth was still working, and he displayed a focus and seriousness that was not for his age. Chi Lang stared at his thinning white hair and silently found a place to continue reading.
Only at this ti did Chi Lang realize how serious and hardworking Luth was.
The clock in the lab would chi every hour, and when it pointed to 12:00, Chi Lang was ready to go back to the dormitory, while Luth still kept his engrossed look.
When Chi Lang ca to the laboratory early the next morning, Luth was back to work. Chi Lang expressed deep curiosity about Luths work and rest ti.
Soon, however, Chi Lang had to keep the sa schedule with Luth.
When he carefully read a book, he realized that if each book had so much knowledge capacity, and he had to read them all in half a month, it would be almost impossible.
And his dayti hours could not be fully used for reading, he had both a part-ti job and had to follow the locksmith and watchmaker to learn craftsmanship.
In addition, he was stimulated by Luth. Chi Lang had a part-ti job helping teachers organize files, and he accidentally ca across Luths information Luth was seventy-six years old. A seventy-six-year-old man could still work so hard.
So he started arriving at the lab earlier and leaving later.
Strangely enough, he did not feel tired, he gained a sense of psychological satisfaction, as if he was learning sothing really useful, knowledge that could really make a foothold in this world, which is stronger than the security that money brings.
Finally, late one night, Chi Lang did not know when he fell asleep while reading in a daze.
The next day he woke up at 3:30 a.m. and found Luth lying on the table, asleep with the docunts he had been reading all day. Chi Lang realized at this ti that Luth had actually been sleeping in the lab.
He yawned and thought hed better go back to his dormitory.
After he walked out of the lab door, he t Sheffield at the corner of the corridor.
At 3:30 in the morning, he t Sheffield not far from the entrance to the laboratory. The walls around him were yellow, and there was no starlight or moonlight shining in this place.
Sheffield was wearing a tuxedo and his eyes were ever so gentle, like the only bright color in the darkness.
Why are you here? Chi Lang asked him
After I ca back from the opera house, I waited in the dormitory for a while and did not see you co back. I was a little worried and wanted to co and have a look.
Chi Lang felt like he was floating, just like the unreal feeling he had when he was about to get drunk after drinking. He was a little uncomfortable: Actually, you dont have to co here, and there will be nothing in the academy But thank you anyway.
Sheffield: Are you going back to the bedroom?
Back go back.
They walked into the night, the night wind blowing cool on his face, but Chi Lang did not feel cold, he felt he had never been so awake and floaty.
Chi Lang, Sheffield called his na.
Even if the na was accidentally told to Sheffield when he was drunk, Chi Lang thought it wasnt a bad thing.
In this place, the chances of hearing soone call ones real na were already rare. Whats more, when Sheffield called him by his na, it always gave him a feeling of being valued.
Would you like to see the roses? Sheffield asked him.
Roses, at half past three in the morning.
