The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the door of the Creation Conference Hall opened, and the contractors who were able to watch this promotion challenge walked into the conference hall excitedly.

Create the conference hall, named after the contract, this place is of great significance to the contract creators of Abetus, and it will only be used for major meetings.

This is the first time in history that it has been used for a formal promotion challenge.

Because of their special status, Scott and Barry are one of the rotating committee members, so they are naturally qualified to sit at the forefront of the meeting, surrounded by other rotating committee members who can attend.

Everyone exchanged glances tacitly. To be honest, in private discussions, everyone's views on the results of this challenge were surprisingly consistent.

Newcomen will definitely challenge and fail.

After all, one is an honorable senior committee member, while the other has just been promoted to the sixth rank and it hasn't been too long, and his experience and accumulation are far from enough.

Now everyone is more curious about what designs Newcomen will come up with in this challenge.

"Scott, do you think Newcomen did this on purpose?" Barry asked softly.

"After this incident, even if the challenge fails, the cohesion of those guys from the Mechanic School will increase again, earn enough attention, and gain fame. Three years later, when Mr. Milosh had to abdicate... what he did today Will the incident increase some bargaining chips for him?"

"It's useless." Scott snorted coldly.

"In three years, I will definitely surpass him!"

In addition to committee members like Scott and Barry, there were also some fourth-level puppet masters and a small number of third-level mechanics entering the venue.

The whole process was orderly and quick. Not only that, there were also other curious researchers gathered outside the venue. Somehow, the voice in the venue could be clearly transmitted to the outside, so that the news inside and outside the venue could be synchronized.

Everyone present, Newcomen and Milosh have come to the stage, because of special status, Sigmund can sit not far from Newcomen.

He took a serious look. Milosh is a thin old man with bald hair. He is not tall, his body is very shriveled, and his spirit doesn't look very good.

It can be seen that this should be a difficult person to get along with. After glancing at Newcomen, Milosh said, "I heard from Scott that you have been promoting the theory of the mechanical school."

"Yes, sir."

"Give up, I will resolutely oppose it." Milosh said coldly.

"It's okay, I'm going to give it a try. When I sit in your seat, I will have many opportunities to try."

"Then come on." Milosh didn't say anything more.

At this time, the gears turned, and the positions of the four permanent committee members on the high platform rose, and then four exquisite dolls appeared, with the same size, proportion, face and clothing, but with numbers 1~4 on their foreheads. number to distinguish.

The four dolls represent the four committee members, and the four permanent committee members vote anonymously. At the top of the platform...an old man with white hair and beard appears at some point.

Apleiad, one of the twin pillars of the kingdom, is the only seventh-order creation contractor in the kingdom of Elam.

"Good morning, creators."

"Dean!" Everyone got up and returned the salute.

"Let's get started," said Appleyard from the dais.

To be honest, Sigmund couldn't tell from the appearance that Apuliad on the high platform was himself or just an identical doll. As soon as he finished speaking, a researcher walked up to the high platform.

"Mr. Newcomen and Mr. Milos have submitted their respective designs to the committee, and the committee members will evaluate the contribution of the research results provided by both parties in order."

Regarding the determination of this contribution value, Sigmon had heard some mentions from Newcomen, mainly referring to the role of his own research design or proposed theory in promoting the entire creative contract.

The higher the value, the greater the effect.

"The three items are averaged, and the final contribution value of the three items will determine the final result." The researcher continued.

"If the points are the same, the challenger succeeds."

The researchers announced the rules of the challenge to everyone.

Due to his status, the three research designs submitted by Milosh have all been evaluated internally by the committee.

Its main fields are the improvement of steam power engine in the spiritual road cycle, with a contribution value of 6.

The second item is the rune communication technique. Through research, he gathered an extremely complicated spiritual path cycle into ordinary runes, and made a contribution to long-distance communication, with a contribution value of 6.

And the last item is the concept of psionic design and spiritual path circulation that he put forward based on what he has learned all his life, with a contribution value of 5.

The three items are added together, and the final contribution value is 17.

This is already a high number.

Generally speaking, a contribution value of 6 is a very important watershed, which basically represents one's own research, which can have a profound impact on the development and exploration of the entire creative contract.

After listening to the researcher's introduction, all the creators present applauded Milosh at the same time.

"The next thing we need to evaluate is the first design submitted by Mr. Newcomen, a purely mechanical steam-powered engine!"

"As we all know, Mr. Newcomen won the competition with an absolute advantage at the steam-powered engine exchange conference held the day before yesterday. He used a purely mechanical steam-powered engine improved by himself during the competition."

"The appearance of this machine will completely get rid of the restrictions imposed on mechanics by steam engines. After research, the same technology can also be applied to steam trains and many factories, but some people think that this will lead to the loss of a large number of mechanics. Own work..."

At this time, the four puppets representing the four committee members also gave their own evaluations.

Sigmund glanced quickly. Committee members No. 1 and No. 2 rated the contribution value as 6, and members No. 3 and No. 4 rated it as 5.

In the end, everyone's eyes turned to the top.

"The result given by Mr. Appleyard is..."

The old man with white beard and hair turned over his signboard, and the number displayed on it surprised everyone.

"Contribution value, 8!"

"How could it be so high?!" Everyone whispered. Among the Abetus creators, most of them are more inclined to the psionic school.

So for the purely mechanical steam engine, they are more as a kind of after-dinner talk, but habitually think that this is a breakthrough. If you study it carefully, the steam engine designed by the psionic school will soon be able to achieve a similar effect. .

But everyone has overlooked one thing, their so-called breakthrough is actually based on a more complex and secret mechanical structure.

In other words, the success of the psionic school was achieved by stepping on the shoulders of the mechanical school. This is something that most people take for granted and even selectively forget.

They just instinctively think that the psionic school is more advanced and is the future of creating contracts.

"Combining Mr. Appleyard's assessment, the final assessment result of Mr. Newcomen's first technique is - 6!"

Seeing that Appleyard had no intention of explaining, the researchers paused and announced the final results.

"The score is the same, the two of them actually got the same evaluation on the first skill." Barry muttered in a low voice.

"It can only be like this. As far as I know, this is the most outstanding of all Newcomen's research projects, and the rest can only get 2 or 3 contribution evaluations at most." Scott replied.

Just when the researchers were about to make the second evaluation, Appleyard, who was sitting on the high platform, raised his hand, "I know that everyone is a little confused about my evaluation, but in fact, although Newcomen's research It’s not epoch-making.”

After a slight pause, Appleyard looked at everyone in the field.

"But in the next 20 years, this technology will have a profound impact on the Kingdom of Elam. I remember someone used a word to describe something similar many years ago..."

"He called it the Industrial Revolution!"
