Belanger and the students went to the Red Stone Factory to conduct research and received some information.
The students were very curious and asked why the design institute did not have a flying car.
The reason given by Hongshi Factory is very surprising: "Due to safety requirements, a large area to the west of the design institute has been designated as a no-fly zone for flying cars."
Think about it, indeed, it is not impossible for an engine whose power is measured in megawatts to accidentally collapse during testing and some part to fly hundreds of meters high. The special glass wall at the test site is also made so thick as a precaution. Such situation. In the future, the design institute will also conduct some work such as take-off and landing tests of prototypes. If there are always flying cars passing by at low altitude, safety will indeed be difficult to guarantee.
After Berenger, the students and others finished their work, they took the flying car back to school. This week's activities at the Design Institute came to an end.
According to work arrangements, Belanger is only there three days out of every 10 days. If there are any circumstances that require him to do something at work, he will be temporarily transferred or someone will be sent to the college to communicate.
This is also a good thing for Bélanger. After all, maintaining high-intensity mathematical calculations has reached the level of brain power that tens of thousands of elites in the design institute have concentrated. Even he can't say that he does it casually, it is still a bit brain-burning. .
In addition to resting when he returned to the academy, he also had two big classes to teach, neither of which involved any experience. Instead, he had to deal with his friends who were also from the main world, which often troubled him, especially those from the School of Life.
"Professor Bofortan, we have a few questions to ask you."
This title has a strong meaning, but Belanger has already figured out that these people cannot obtain professor qualifications because they are not smart. Taking advantage of them cannot change the reality.
"……Just ask."
"Recently we want to collect some military information. I wonder if Professor Professor has any ideas?"
"..." Belanger glanced at the student from the School of Life who asked the question and said, "I think if you really want to collect this kind of intelligence, you might as well go overseas and find a way."
The Phoenix Kingdom's system is not tight on the inside but wide on the outside. However, searching for military intelligence from within is obviously a good way to quickly go to jail. However, the risk of searching from outside the country is much smaller.
I heard from friends at the Fountain of Youth College that some people in the Life College have been detained for "harassing veterans." If it weren't for their status as exchange students, they might have been tied up and paraded in the building. If they went one step further, they would be forced to undergo labor reform.
What's worse is that these people have all been warned by the college administration for some tentative activities that are not considered crimes. It can be said that a lot of information that could have been obtained through academic means will also be blocked in the future.
"Outside the country? But we heard that the Phoenix Kingdom has not had any military conflicts outside the country for many years."
Belanger was a little impatient: "If it doesn't work, you should wait until you get back and find a professional. The Life Church didn't ask you to come here just to make the relationship tense."
"...We will be more cautious."
Yes, it's useless to say that "cautious" means nothing more than thinking about it, just looking for the right opportunity.
Although Belanger doesn't like their approach, he can't understand the current situation. Or the "communication" took too long, and everyone didn't have access to military-level intelligence. I wonder if the Phoenix Kingdom deliberately stuck them here and didn't put them back. For those who have no plans to settle down, they are somewhat fearful and anxious, so their behavior becomes more and more extreme.
There was a lot of nonsense during the meal, and after finally breaking away, Belanger hurriedly hid in a hotel in the NK district of Little Bear City.
Since the decision has been made to stay in the Phoenix Kingdom, the hotel has also made adjustments.
The head maid he brought with him re-signed the contract with the groom and his wife. Originally, Belanger didn't know whether they had the deed or not. Anyway, they didn't bring it with them when they went out. Just use the local contract in the Phoenix Kingdom.
These three people now also have shares in the hotel, all of which were squeezed out of Belanger's share. The advantage is that he can completely get out of the hotel affairs and does not even want to check the accounts.
The hotel's current monthly net profit is 1,000 to 1,500, and it has to be divided with the other three Fountain of Youth Academy students. What they get can only be said to be better than nothing. Of course, for them, who were students and became teaching assistants a few years ago, it is indeed a good sum. of additional income.
However, at the stage of honorary professor, the income from the hotel is really not worth mentioning.
There are several types of honorary professors in the academy.
The first type does not come to the academy to teach at all. Most of them are senior mages who have literature and academic exchanges with the school, and they are mainly from overseas. These kind of people will not be paid.
The second category is like Professor Olan from the Enchanting Department. They are allocated housing in the school, have a fixed salary, and have about half of their time freely allocated. However, considering that there are only two classes at most in a teaching day, they are actually very free.
The third category is those like Belanger himself, who are dealt with under special circumstances.
He has six fixed classes to teach every month in the college, and his income from this part is 1,200 yuan; occasionally there are exchange classes and teacher exchange activities within the college, with three to five classes per month, and this part is 500 yuan. Subsidy; and then there is the work at the aircraft design institute. The money is provided by the design institute, about 2,000.
Among them, Belanger did not lead the interest group because he thought it was troublesome, otherwise he would have to make an extra payment, and the income would be equivalent to that of a large class.
Excluding experiments and transportation subsidies, with a pure monthly income of close to 4,000, he can buy a 100-square-meter house in Little Bear City in three months. The hotel's dividend is really dispensable.
According to his intention, as long as his classmates ask, he will transfer his share of the hotel at the original price. However, his three classmates are still too nice and have never mentioned this matter, and he will not take the initiative to mention it.
Hiding in the hotel, looking at the large reservoir to the north through the window, I was wondering whether to buy real estate.
Compared to its prosperity, real estate in the Phoenix Kingdom can be said to be extremely cheap. Even an ordinary worker and a couple with a little effort can have a chance to build a property of dozens of square meters within two years.
But the property tax restricts wealthy people from buying houses everywhere.
The property tax system here is relatively complicated. Generally speaking, if you own a property, you can get a partial reduction based on the annual tax payment certificate. Although it can be reduced when there are more properties, the tax base will be progressive, the more you buy, The trap gets worse and worse, until the property tax covers the purchase price in two to three years, and at this time the deduction can be ignored.
Therefore, Belanger has to be cautious despite his good income.
You must buy real estate in Little Bear City. This is the capital and it is close to the college, so there is no problem.
He is considering a second home.
Over at the west intersection, he can live in a design institute. Although he can't hire housekeeping, it's not a big problem for a few days at a time. At most, he can accumulate clothes and take them back for washing.
He personally prefers to buy one in Fenggu, where there are many engineers and there are many exchange meetings that you can attend. But what if there is a chance to join Blue Sky Heavy Industry after settling down?
He has already asked the seniors of Blue Sky Heavy Industry. Based on his personal ability, as long as he has the intention and passes the background review, there will not be many obstacles to entering Blue Sky Heavy Industry.
If you decide to enter Blue Sky Heavy Industry, there is no need for a second house, and you don't even need to consider maintaining one near the college. The reason for buying a house in Little Bear City is also from the perspective of safety.
It is better to ask through the college channel first, so as not to fiddle around and waste energy on transferring the house in the future.
