Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 64: Sedan Lecture

Creak.

Yang Ning calmly walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Xun Hu, standing at the door, saw Yang Ning coming out and immediately greeted him, "How did it go? Did the dean agree?"

"He agreed. Just bring the Earth Heaven Gate's quota," Yang Ning nodded.

"Then..." Xun Hu asked cautiously, his face filled with curiosity, "What did the dean tell you? What secret is he referring to?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Ning said, "This secret is of great importance and must not be known by others. If I tell you, can you keep it a secret?"

Xun Hu immediately nodded, "Of course I can!"

Yang Ning nodded, "Then I can trust you."

"Huh?" Xun Hu was dumbfounded, no, this...

"In fact, you don't need to ask me. If you develop well in Earth Heaven Gate, the Sect Master will tell you in the future!" Yang Ning smiled, "What the dean said entered his mouth and reached my ears. It must not be known by a third person, and the secret is indeed worth keeping."

"Alright!" Xun Hu sighed, knowing that there are some things that cannot be forced.

"Then I'll go to the Earth Heaven Gate's residence. Are you coming with me?"

"I have to go to the training ground first. We agreed to hold the sedan lecture!" Yang Ning said.

"Then let's go together. Can I drive your car after the lecture?"

"Do you know how to drive?"

"I can drive a tank, so how can I not drive this? Besides, I saw you driving all the way just now!" Xun Hu boasted. He really knew how to drive, and this thing wasn't difficult at all.

Yang Ning didn't even touch the accelerator or the gearbox. There was no need to shift gears, and the speed was constant. There was only a brake, a steering wheel, and a reverse gear. After trying it out, Xun Hu was able to drive steadily.

Training Ground No. 6 covered an area of 40 acres and was the only fully flat training ground in the Immortal Ascension Academy. The floor was paved with hard obsidian, specifically for students to practice powerful techniques.

But today, the training ground was a bit strange. No one was training, instead, they were huddled together, eagerly discussing something.

"I think that car used a formation. I know a formation called the Gale Formation, which is used on flying boats!"

"The wind from the Gale Formation, I was right next to the car at that time, but I didn't feel any wind!"

"Is it possible that it's a Light Body Formation, and the car has an underground tunnel, with the driver walking on the ground with both feet?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Someone was lying on the ground and saw it. There was nothing under the car except for the wheels!"

"How did the car start moving on its own?"

"The car is here, the car is here!" Someone suddenly shouted, and everyone stopped their discussions and looked towards the entrance of the training ground.

They saw a shiny black sedan, like a shadow, quietly driving in from the entrance.

Everyone's eyes were magnetically attracted to the streamlined body of the car, until it stopped at a high platform in the center of the training ground.

This was a highly anticipated position!

"Hello, everyone!" Xun Hu adjusted his clothes and hairstyle, then got off the car and waved to everyone gracefully.

"Xun Hu, did you make this car?" someone shouted from below.

"Um..." Xun Hu scratched his head, "Well, I'm just the driver. Now, let me introduce today's protagonist, the inventor of the sedan, Yang Ning!"

Yang Ning was still wearing a white coat and glasses. Normally, this appearance would make him look a bit dull, but when he stood next to the sedan today, he seemed so dazzling and radiant!

This is the charm of technology!

"Hello, everyone!" Yang Ning waved.

"Ah, Yang Ning, Yang Ning!" Yang Ning's reputation in the school was already great, especially among the group of alchemists. In addition, he invented the pulley bow, which gave the maidservants a technology they could be proud of. As a result, there were many maidservants shouting his name.

It felt like a fan meeting.

Yang Ning laughed and said, "Well, I know I'm handsome, but I also know that today I'm not the protagonist of this lecture. Our protagonist is the car behind me! It is also the second car I invented since I entered school. I call it a sedan, meaning a comfortable car like a sedan chair. Its name is: Black Phantom 001!"

"Wow!" The audience cheered again, not knowing what they were cheering for.

"What do you want to know about this car?" Yang Ning asked loudly.

His vocal cords had been tempered with the Heavenly Dragon's Apocalyptic Sound technique, so his voice was loud and could reach far away. Even people standing at the back could hear him.

"Brother Yang, how does this car run?" a refiner asked. "Is it pedal-powered?"

After all, the front of the car is so long, maybe there is a pedal mechanism.

"Of course not!" Yang Ning opened the trunk of the car, first took out a support rod and opened it, then took out a storage bag. In the next second, a huge scroll was hung on the support rod.

This scroll is eight meters wide and the support rod is six meters high. When unfolded, it becomes an 8x6 slide.

"Here, I want to introduce to you my innovative invention, the alcohol engine!" Yang Ning shouted, unfolding the scroll. The scroll depicted nothing else but an alcohol engine!

However, the drawings were very simple, obviously hastily made. But Extreme Eternal didn't have blueprints, so Yang Ning's drawings were considered detailed.

"Wow!" They didn't know what they were cheering for, maybe they were cheering for the alcohol engine, or maybe they were cheering for this teaching method they had never seen before.

Who would have thought that a scroll could be used like this, to teach while standing up?

Yang Ning took out a teaching whip and unfolded it, then pointed at the alcohol engine on the scroll and said, "I believe everyone is curious about what an engine is and why it is related to alcohol."

The people below nodded, they knew about alcohol, but they had never heard of the word "engine".

"Alcohol is the essence extracted from the alcohol we usually drink!" Yang Ning said, "And an alcohol engine is a machine that, when you pour alcohol into it, makes the wheels next to it start spinning. I call this wheel the transmission mother wheel, which connects this mother wheel to the four wheels of the car, allowing the car to run!"

"Because this machine can start the vehicle, I call it an engine!"

"So, why does the mother wheel rotate when alcohol is poured into it?" a refiner asked.

"This brings us to a phenomenon that is very common in our daily lives!" Yang Ning smiled and said, "Have you ever played with fire?"

The refiner nodded. After all, which boy hadn't played with fire?

"Have you noticed that the smoke above the flame rises?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Um!" The refiner didn't need to think, it was indeed rising.

"That's normal!" the refiner replied.

"It is normal, but have you ever wondered why?" Yang Ning continued to ask.

The refiner scratched his head. He knew that the smoke rose above the flame, but he didn't know why.

"Let me answer that!" someone raised their hand next to him. "The Dao Jing says: 'The world is divided into heaven and earth, heaven is divided into black and white, humans are divided into male and female, qi is divided into clear and turbid. The clear rises to the high heavens, while the turbid sinks into the abyss.'"

The refiner nodded quickly, "That's right, it's because the smoke is clear qi!"

"Then, does anyone want to bring some firewood over and let's personally ignite it to see if this qi is really clear?"

This experiment didn't need to be done at all. Everyone knew that the smoke from burning firewood was hazy.

But someone still brought some firewood over.

Yang Ning took a look and realized that it wasn't firewood at all, but the weapon rack on the training ground. But it didn't matter, it would burn anyway. It was normal to damage some equipment during training.

Yang Ning piled up the firewood and poured a bottle of alcohol on it, then lit it. In an instant, the firewood started to burn.

Although the firewood was originally dry, alcohol combustion produces moisture, and Yang Ning didn't use high-concentration alcohol. It contained 40% water, turning the dry firewood into wet firewood. Although the smoke wasn't thick, it wasn't far from it either.

"How about it?" Yang Ning pointed at the black smoke and asked the student, "Do you think this qi is clear?"

"Uh..." The student was speechless. This thick smoke couldn't be considered clear at all!

But...

"How is that possible? Are you saying the Dao Jing is wrong?" The student asked stubbornly.

Yang Ning shook his head, "The Dao Jing may not be wrong. Clear qi should rise, but it is possible that this smoke is indeed a kind of clear qi, or it may actually be turbid qi, but I turned it into clear qi through the burning process!"
