Lin directly used the geometric method of dividing circles and astronomical observation phenomena to explain. In a few sentences, I explained the reasons for carrying twenty-four hours, sixty minutes, and sixty seconds.
If you are a dumber person, you may not be able to wrap your head around it. But Juan Javier's performance was just like that of Finn. After seeing the geometric drawing of a circle, he could quickly understand the reason for such a design. But what I don’t understand is why such a detailed time unit is needed?
"When it gets bright, it's morning. When the sun is at its largest and hottest, it's noon; after noon, before the sun goes down, it's afternoon, and then night. Is it necessary to divide time into minutes and seconds?"
Yes, is it necessary?
Before technology can advance, there must first be demand. Because there is a need, people use their brains to find solutions, and then advance the process of technology, even if it is just a small step. And in the accumulation of small steps, the process of civilization distinguishes humans from animals.
On the other hand, when there is no demand, no matter how good something is, it is useless. Ordinary farmers have no need to go to space, so if you throw him a space shuttle, it is better to give him a cultivator.
For most people who are confused at this stage, time that is too precise is meaningless. However, Lin shrugged and said, "That's why I didn't publish such a thing. This is just my experience in studying astronomical phenomena." The division of time also originated from astronomy on Earth. So this reason is enough to explain why, such a problem.
Although astronomy is classified as the domain of astrologers, when it comes to learning premonition magic, this is another link that cannot be bypassed. So Juan Javier also knew something about this part, but he didn't put too much effort into it.
But this also made him understand the basis for Lin's previous statement of fifty minutes in class and ten minutes in rest. But Juan Javier didn't understand the purpose of doing this. Anyway, for him, he spends what Lin calls 'fifty minutes' a day to teach those children, and the rest is his own time. When you have time, you can ask questions about p-slang nearby, which is enough.
But this so-called free time is certainly not when Juan is free, so he can pull Lin down and ask about the content of the p-word. Both of them must be free. This great magician is not so self-centered that everyone must cooperate with his actions. And a man who had just installed a large electronic clock ran non-stop to the clock tower and built a timing device.
A clock is static and you cannot tell the time without looking at it. But the clock set on the outer wall can only be seen by people in the courtyard. So what should the people in the house do? Because there is a clock tower on the top of the central protrusion of the house. Although this mansion is mainly used for residential purposes, the stone castle building has the function of defending against foreign enemies, so the alarm bell as a means of warning is naturally indispensable.
As for automating bell ringing, there are many ways to do it in Lost Land. On Earth in the 21st century, robots are still in a rather rudimentary era, and the T-850 Terminator only exists in movies. In the world of Mysterious Land, although all kinds of monsters are not able to run all over the ground, they are not a very rare technology.
Even if the golem can do it, how could there not be some relatively simple automation methods. The only difference is that Midi does not have time technology, so it cannot set the timer automatically.
However, this kind of understanding only exists among the magicians. Ordinary people and even nobles still have to expend manpower to make things go smoothly if they want to do anything.
And since someone is a member of the Master, there is certainly no need to use people to do things like ringing the bell on time.
Lin directly made a lever above the hanging clock, using magic puppet technology and magic materials. Using a red magic stone, in addition to serving as the terminal of the time server and the program that controls the automatic lever, it also serves as a carrier of energy. Because it is not a continuous action, but intermittent, in theory, the natural recovery of the red magic stone should be enough to cope with the consumption and become a semi-permanent automatic mechanism.
As for the set time, the bell is struck at a fixed hour, three times during the day and once at night. On days when there are classes, the three classes in the morning start at the top of the hour, so there is no need to set up another class. But at the end of get out of class fifty minutes later, the bell will ring. Some special bells are also set up to indicate a fire, for example, three bells and one bell represent a fire, and a sharp bell represents an enemy attack.
Unfortunately, there is no way to remotely set and control it. Because in the world of Lost World, except for the energy pool of the magic tower, which has a mark similar to an IP address, other devices have no similar mark points to communicate with each other. Unless the distance is close enough, they can use the Mystery version of Bluetooth connection, which is how Lin and Fen's glasses can communicate with each other.
By the time the automatic lever was properly adjusted, it was already close to noon. Although it is customary for Midi people to have two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. But between meals, you eat when you are hungry, and the time is not fixed. Of course, this is when you have something to eat.
Considering that military training requires a regular life and adequate nutrition, since the opening of the academy, Lin has had people provide lunch, but not any temporary snacks to satisfy hunger.
Perhaps these children are afraid of poverty, so whenever there is something to eat, they stuff it into their mouths until they can no longer eat. During the two weeks or so here, although there was work such as cleaning the house, tidying up the environment, etc., there were a few greedy little guys who showed signs of growing into fat little guys. This also made Lin determined to help them lose weight. People who have never been fat really don’t know the difficulties faced by fat people.
Juan Javier and his students seemed not used to the lunch meal. But they still followed the others and ate something in the restaurant. Of course, one of the purposes is to taste the skills of the chefs here, so that you can decide whether to follow the crowd and eat in a big pot in the future, or start a small stove in your room.
Breakfast and lunch are prepared by the dormitory director, Mrs. Du Li. Just washing vegetables, peeling, etc., she would ask some children to help with some relatively simple tasks, and everyone would take turns. The taste isn't particularly amazing, it's just home-cooked food, not so unpalatable that you can't eat it.
Of course Lin missed the eight major cuisines of his hometown, noodles, sushi, sweet and spicy, etc. However, he only knew how to eat but not how to cook. Every time I try to make home-cooked food, it is actually far different from the taste in my memory. Rather than eating it deliciously, I feel like eating it is a feeling of self-deception. Therefore, he has no right to comment on other people's cooking skills.
On the other hand, the cooking skills of the two girls have improved greatly compared to when they first became apprentices. Because Lin's criticism of his own people was merciless. Fortunately, it's not just for the sake of scolding. It's too salty, too bland, and too greasy. All criticisms can be said like "5, 4, 3". Therefore, under the stimulation of external pressure, whether it is Kaya or Hallumi, their cooking skills cannot improve.
In the afternoon, in addition to John Goodman, Eli Huber also appeared. With a smile on his face, the fat man who was familiar with the situation put himself on the great magician Juan Javier, introduced himself, and at the same time carried out a mental bombing.
If Lin was the one to take the attack, it would definitely be another gorgeous defeat. But as a man of the times, Juan Javier, who was used to fighting in various social situations, how could he be afraid of a person like Fatty? After a few words, he took the initiative and took control of the discourse. If he hadn't considered that he would be a colleague for a while in the future, he might have launched a counterattack.
Now that the two magicians who had become academy teachers had appeared, Lin took advantage of this moment to decide on the division of labor between the three of them, including Lin himself. Before that, Lin Xian sent a message to the North Tower of Wulian City, which was an announcement to stop recruiting teachers for the college.
In one class, three teachers and three courses are already a lot. If the scale expands in the future, we will consider adding more manpower. The three courses are the formal studies of magic, miscellaneous studies, and Lin's personal items from the earth.
The formal learning of magic is apprentice-level one to three-ring magic, with a total of sixty-nine types. Miscellaneous studies include but are not limited to medicine, smelting, forging, architecture, enchantment, magic circles and magic towers. As an independent subject, magic tower knowledge should actually be regarded as common sense about magic towers, including basic layout and cognition, structure and combination, which also includes knowledge of building materials, costs, taboos, etc.
Needless to say, Lin's private goods from the earth are still aimed at cultivating more programmers. Looking at the fresh livers makes someone want to try what it's like to be a hard-earned boss.
As for the distribution of formal studies and miscellaneous studies... "So I personally believe that the teaching of formal studies is the responsibility of His Excellency Elihuber; the miscellaneous studies are taught by the great magician Juan Javier."
The two magicians, whose status was different, looked at someone who assigned work projects without authorization with confused expressions. Of course Lin knew that he was not qualified to make such a decision but did not give an explanation, so he said: "Miscellaneous studies require profound knowledge, as well as enough knowledge and experience. In other words, to the extent of erudition, I believe that Jia Great Magician Weir is far superior to Lord Eli."
In response to such comments, the fat man shrugged and had nothing to say to refute. To become a great magician, you must first have a good reputation. The implicit condition is to have a wide circle of friends and be well-informed. What's more, the other party got the title of Great Magician at a young age, and it didn't rely on the mere sixty-nine apprentice-level magic. He must be more outstanding in order to be recognized by most people, and of course his knowledge is also Nothing to say.
Lin had no time to care about the psychological changes of the two magicians for the time being, and continued: "As for the formal part, since only apprentice-level magic will be taught, the basis of this knowledge is based on the standards provided by the association. I believe that with Eli's With his eloquence and kindness, he will definitely be able to seduce these children and get into the situation faster."
