Chapter 2775: Determining the Start Time of Classes, Bicycle Experience

Of course, before that, the security issues regarding the Spirit Thought Network must be handled well. For now, using it only within the Tower of Time is not much of a problem, but if it is to face the general public in the future, it will inevitably face all kinds of threats.

Xia Duo has already made arrangements for this. The Tower of Time will soon conduct its third Inheritance Ritual, with the number of people still at one hundred. Except for the personnel promised to Niya for the Mythallar project, the rest will mostly be used to fill previous research projects.

And during the course of these projects, the Spirit Thought Network will certainly be used, and Xia Duo can take this opportunity to explore and attempt cutting-edge technologies for the security and protection of the Spirit Thought Network.

Come to think of it, Zhamu Dasi has achieved extraordinary accomplishments in the field of the mind, but it is a pity that his relationship with Zhamu Dasi is still a bit sensitive right now; otherwise, he could have recruited some Psionic Mages to assist him in related research.

Now he can only find a way on his own.

……

Inside the Academic Affairs Office conference room.

When Xia Duo proposed using Spirit Thought Network permissions as compensation, those sixteen Intermediate Mages who were the first to meet the Tower of Time's local standards agreed to join the Academic Affairs Office almost without any hesitation.

"President, shall we start arranging the Middle School Course now?" Ji Nuo Si asked somewhat impatiently.

Xia Duo did not answer this question, but instead turned to Jianaer, who was also in the conference room, "Regarding the Academic Affairs Office, is there any difficulty in organizing Middle School classes now?"

"Everything is going smoothly so far, and the Tower of Time Mages are also very serious and responsible. As for the progress, the main town area may take another half a year or so to be initially built, and it will probably be the end of the year before it is fully completed and put into use."

This was the task Xia Duo gave to the Academic Affairs Office and to Jianaer, which would also be synchronized to other departments of the Tower of Time, asking them to cooperate so that, while maintaining the operation of the Tower of Time, classes could officially begin before the 17th of this month.

"That's good, complete the class organization and formal teaching within half a month."

For example, integrated molding actually uses good metal to replace inferior metal, but in fact, some parts do not need such good materials at all; furthermore, there is the consideration of cost.

Xia Duo did not learn from Laidun by riding on the construction site, but pushed it to the front of the Security Office in the north, which had already been completely leveled and compacted and was preparing to lay paving bricks.

Xia Duo gave a seemingly loose timeline, but in reality, it was not easy. First of all, most of the new Mages in the Tower of Time had already been put into work, so it was not a problem to let them take time to participate in the Intermediate Assessment.

Xia Duo test-rode it for a while and soon stopped. The riding process of this bike was not much different from what he had ridden when he was a child, at most just some differences in comfort, but the starting and stopping (including slowing down) were very different, and he was not very used to it.

Of course, there was also the consideration of being afraid of making a fool of himself. After all, since crossing over, he had not touched bicycle handlebars for too long, and he did not want to cheat with spells, so naturally, he needed to choose a place with slightly better road conditions.

Recalling the memory of riding a bicycle as a child, Xia Duo stepped on the pedal with one foot, and just as the other foot was about to push off backward, he only lightly tapped the ground and flipped directly onto the seat.

Currently, the level of educational development in the Tower of Time is relatively low. Xia Duo allows for the separation of subjects and selection of majors starting from the middle school stage. In short, the main goal now is not to cultivate geniuses with great potential, but to popularize education as much as possible and improve related industries in the process.

After finishing the task, Xia Duo chatted with the first batch of middle school teachers in the conference room about future teaching philosophies. It was still based on general education, but if any eccentric geniuses were discovered, they would also need to be observed and recorded.

……

However, unlike the numerous parts of bicycles in his hometown, most of this bicycle is integrally molded, with only the wheels, pedals, and a few other positions being separate.

It is conceivable that once the Middle School Course begins, the Tower of Time might come to a standstill, which is why it is necessary to organize classes, or stagger the time, or select the best, or have them work part-time; in short, the Tower of Time cannot be allowed to stop.

But now that there are tires, cost is not a big problem. After all, Xia Duo has already prepared to build a Magic Industry to accommodate the ever-growing magic talent. These initial costs are unavoidable and will slowly improve in the future.

Although he had only been away for a few days, the reconstruction work of the Territory was literally taking on a new look every day. Currently, it had been built to the school section, and the territory residents were working hard in the sweltering heat, spitting out white mist.

Therefore, to ride this bicycle, one cannot use the usual method of pushing off backward to run a short distance and then straddling the seat, but needs to sit on the seat first and then step on the pedals to move forward.

Of course, excluding Xia Duo, Niya, and Aiboke, who have already advanced to Arcanists.

Laidun said while skillfully stopping the bike and handing it to Xia Duo. The style of this bike was similar to the "28-inch heavy-duty bike" from Xia Duo's hometown; after all, it was the blueprint he provided, with slight adjustments in the details.

In fact, before today, the bicycle already had a prototype, but it lacked suitable tires, and coupled with the high cost, it had not been promoted.

"I was just about to report to the Lord!"

Almost forgot, although this bike has tires and a chain, it has no freewheel; in other words, the pedals and wheels of this bike move in complete synchronization.

Or to put it more vividly, even if this bike is going downhill, the pedals cannot remain still, otherwise the bike will not move.

With both hands on the handlebars, Xia Duo felt a bit of unusual excitement in his heart. Not to mention that the inspiration for this thing came from his hometown, but speaking of the bicycle itself, it is not an exaggeration to call it a symbol of the start of industry!

But fortunately, he did not make a fool of himself. Handing the bicycle back to Laidun, Xia Duo then asked about the recent situation of the reconstruction of Linshui Town, especially the construction progress.

"No."

The reason for designing it this way is, on one hand, the characteristics of the magic world, where Alchemy Arrays can be used to easily achieve integrated molding; on the other hand, it is the lack of local industry, and dividing it too finely is not conducive to assembly.

One must know that although the Tower of Time now has many Intermediate and High-Rank Mages, the number of Intermediate Mages under the Tower of Time standard is still only the eighteen in front of him, and as for High-Rank Mages, there is not a single one.

However, it is not hard to guess Laidun's intentions; there is a bit of showing off in it. Seeing this, Xia Duo transformed his Mage Robe into the style of an Elf sword suit and shouted to Laidun:

If one wants to stop, this version currently has no brakes. One can only pedal slowly to reduce the speed, and then step on the pedals with both feet at the same time to stop the pedals, and the bike will stop.

After the meeting, Xia Duo met with Niya to chat about the recent arrangements for the Tower of Time, before leaving the Tower of Time to return to the territory on the ground.

But if they were to study full-time, how would the work they were originally doing be handled?

……

After the industry matures in the future, there will definitely be optimizations.

"The tires are made already? Come down and let me try."

Not long after Xia Duo arrived, Laidun rode a bicycle over, wobbling. At the moment, Linshui Village was in a state of construction, and the roads and such were only simply handled; it could not even be called road conditions, it was just a construction site.
