Chapter 754: What kind of operation is this? Fighting for first place

Ying Ying Zi Ye took a light sip of tea.

"Drinking tea in such a tranquil place is also a kind of enjoyment."

The location chosen for this academy is quite good.

The scenery here is pleasant, far from the hustle and bustle.

Tranquility cultivates the spirit; stillness leads to far-reaching goals.

The two men did not speak again, sitting quietly and savoring the tea.

It was not known how much time had passed before faint movements came from around the corner.

This broke the tranquility.

Immediately after, academy teachers came out one after another.

It was not strange for teachers to come out.

What was strange was:

These teachers were in groups of three or five, and some had even hired help.

Behind them, over a dozen crates were being carried in.

This scene left Ying Ying Zi Ye and Wang Li somewhat bewildered.

What kind of operation is this?

Those dozen or so crates were each half a person's height, and their length was even taller than a person.

Each crate was being carried by four people.

Soon, they carried those crates before Ying Ying Zi Ye.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Your Highness has waited a long time."

"Your Highness, please do not blame us; we have arrived late."

The group of teachers all bowed.

"Rise."

"What is this?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the dozen or so large crates.

At this moment, someone turned the crates around.

Only then was it discovered that a sheet of Xuan paper was pasted on top of those crates.

It turned out that the names of the various schools were written on them.

Rujia Sect, Legalist School, Daoist School, Yin-Yang School, School of Names, Miscellaneous School, Agricultural School, School of Novelists, School of Diplomacy, Military School, Medical School.

Seeing this scene, Ying Ying Zi Ye was quite speechless.

They had even put labels on them.

"Let me ask, what are all these things?"

"Why use crates to pack them up?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was puzzled; why make it all so mysterious?

"Your Highness, these are the bicycles that our respective schools have developed."

"Packing them in crates is to prevent others from stealing the techniques."

"These are our exclusive masterpieces, the result of our painstaking efforts!"

A member of the School of Diplomacy spoke proudly.

That arrogant expression was as if he had already manufactured the bicycle himself.

The representatives of each school also looked down on each other and refused to cooperate.

They were all bicycles developed by their own old friends in groups of three or five, or with their families.

Hearing this, Ying Ying Zi Ye frowned slightly.

This was not the Academy of Sciences he wanted.

This group of people had too strong a sense of their own schools.

There was no intention of merging together to manufacture them.

If the Academy of Sciences were to be like this in the future, it would be better to disband it directly.

No matter what, they should cooperate sincerely to develop some high-quality products.

What good things could be developed by fighting on their own?

Currently, the Dean of the Academy of Sciences had not yet been born.

If a Dean of the Academy of Sciences were born and they still fought on their own,

then this trend would have to be completely suppressed.

Otherwise, such an Academy of Sciences would not amount to much.

Only by gathering the crystallization of everyone's wisdom could some good things be researched.

If they fought on their own, there was absolutely no need for the Academy of Sciences to exist.

"Open them all and let's take a look."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat speechless and could only look first before saying anything.

The representative teachers of the various schools of thought all ordered their people to open the crates.

Soon.

Over a dozen wooden frames resembling bicycles appeared before Ying Ying Zi Ye.

There was even a humanized wooden kickstand to support the bicycle's balance and keep it from falling over.

The bicycles were arranged very neatly, in a continuous row.

Most were made of wood, with only the main parts made of iron.

The chains and the gear pedals were made of iron.

These iron models were uniform, having been requested from the Craftsman's Office.

Seeing this scene, Ying Ying Zi Ye became interested.

It looked decent, with a seven-point resemblance to what he had drawn.

Ying Ying Zi Ye walked up and looked at them one by one.

From the front wheel to the rear wheel, from the hub to the gears, he examined everything.

Most importantly, he checked the bearings; if the bearings were not done well,

it would be impossible to ride.

Soon, Ying Ying Zi Ye had finished a round.

He had looked at all the bicycles present.

Soon, he frowned.

This batch of bicycles was very rough.

Even the polishing was done in a rush.

The workmanship was not exquisite or delicate enough.

Ying Ying Zi Ye turned his head and looked at the teachers of the various schools of thought with surprise.

He saw a group of people surrounding him, looking at him with anticipation.

"That... let me ask, have you tried riding this thing you manufactured yourselves?"

"Can this thing be ridden?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat speechless; they all looked like they were just for show.

Whether it could be ridden was still a question.

The group of teachers felt a bit embarrassed by this question.

"Your Highness, isn't it because time was a bit tight?" ===== CHAPTER 756 =====
