Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Although Matteo Holden's words were simple, they deeply touched Lennon Cohen.

He nodded vigorously, got rid of all the random thoughts in his mind, focused his attention on the food in front of him, and worked hard to cook.

Only when he has filled his stomach and then devotes himself wholeheartedly to the courses taught by Idar Public University and the concentrated research projects can he be worthy of his status as the first batch of freshmen at Idar Public University.

Lennon Cohen does not know how long the Idar Public University will exist, but in his view, only if he proves that even the most ordinary civilians have enough value, will the doors of the public university be opened to civilians forever.

…

Seeing the look on Lennon Cohen's face, Matteo Holden understood that his words had a sufficient effect and gave the new student in front of him confidence and a sense of the responsibility on his shoulders.

but,

For Matteo Holden, it was just an episode during lunch.

He didn't even know Lennon Cohen's name. He only knew that he was among the first batch of freshmen admitted to the Polytechnic Institute, and he might have to teach him then.

And Matteo Holden had no idea of ​​asking in detail, because at this time, he was busy completing the scientific research tasks assigned by the Duke, and even if he had to teach the students half a month later, he would not be able to teach them in detail. Squeezed out of the busy schedule.

That's right, the official start time for the new students is scheduled half a month later.

So what do you do with half a month?

There is only one answer, and that is...

Military training!

In this land in the eastern part of the empire, Bruno continued the military training model from the beginning of the university in the previous life.

From September 16th to the end of September, freshmen from all colleges of Idar Public University will be gathered together and complete a half-month military training for freshmen under the leadership of Idar soldiers.

Of course, the intensity of military training for freshmen cannot be compared with that of the regular army of the Principality of Idar, but regular training such as standing in a military posture, walking in unison, and turning left and right will not fall behind.

Moreover, in order to allow the freshmen to have a clearer understanding of the strength of the Principality of Idar, the freshmen will even go to the garrison camp in Idar City on the last day of military training and participate in an afternoon of live-fire shooting training under the guidance of the soldiers. .

Receiving military training is not the purpose. No matter what time, Bruno cannot directly push these outstanding talents who have been selected through thousands of selections to the front line.

Let the freshmen get used to the schedule of Idar Public University more quickly and integrate better into a new group. This is the real purpose of the military training for freshmen of Idar Public University.

After chewing the last piece of sweet potato, Matteo Holden burped with satisfaction, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

indeed,

Under Bruno's resource tilt, Idar Public University has given teachers, students, researchers and craftsmen in related research institutions good salary benefits and wages.

However, this also means that the scientific researchers of the Principality of Idar are under tremendous pressure and face extremely difficult tasks.

As the director of the Institute of Basic Industry, Matteo Holden has an even heavier task.

after all……

Bruno has always attached great importance to the simultaneous advancement of various industries in the Principality of Idar, and has also been pressing for the speed of research and development.

Matteo Holden is not a native of Idar.

But a year ago, when the Odin Empire launched a large-scale invasion of the northern frontier of the empire, it was personally brought to the Principality of Idar by Bomiril Braun, deputy director of the Idar CIA.

The Holden family is a family of craftsmen from the northern frontier of the empire. They had previously been working for Yersen Paris, Duke of Dorne, one of the five Dukes of the Regency Council.

Although he had a humble status in the past, because he had been working for the Duke of Dorne, Matteo Holden's life was pretty good, even much better than that of ordinary civilians.

But no matter how good he is, it is still compared to the most ordinary civilian class. No matter how hard Matteo Holden tries, he can't change the reality that he is just a low-level civilian.

And at the same time,

The invasion of the Odins broke the original peace of the Dorne Territory. Amid the sudden war, who would care about the life and death of an ordinary civilian?

Even if they are civilians who have served the Duke of Dorne for generations, it is useless.

In this way, Matteo Holden, a craftsman who was originally attached to Yersen Paris, Duke of Dorne, became a refugee and began his wandering life that trembled under the iron heel of the Odin people.

However, he is undoubtedly lucky.

A craftsman who can serve Duke-level nobles for generations will definitely not be a walk-in.

Therefore, at the invitation of Baumiril Braun, he was led by the agents of the Idar Principality to this land in the eastern part of the empire and became an Idar citizen.

Everything in the Principality of Idar dazzled him, and for the first time, Matteo Holden realized the dignity of being a civilian.

He was first assigned to the Idar Steel Factory in the Grand Highlands, and then worked as an odd job at the Magic Circle Research Laboratory of the Principality of Idar, and now...

With the establishment of the Public University of Idar, Matteo Holden's rational thinking and practical ability were greatly appreciated by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, and he had indeed served as the Duke of Idar before. Many improvements were made in the ironmaking industry, and it was logical that Matteo Holden was appointed director of the Institute of Basic Industries.

Matteo Holden is a man who always repays kindness.

When he heard news about bicycles from Bruno, Matteo Holden took the initiative to ask for help. With the research funds approved by Bruno, he organized a lot of skilled craftsmen and set up a bicycle research and development team. team.

They have only one mission, and that is to "build cars" for the Principality of Idar!

This is not only to repay the kindness of the young Duke, but also for the persistence in Matteo Holden's heart - he is not only a craftsman, but also the sole heir of the Holden family, a family of craftsmen!

And now...

After more than half a year of exploration and research, the bicycle that Matteo Holden put countless efforts into finally has its first physical product!

It is precisely because of this that he has no time to think about messy things, and he doesn't even bother to ask Lennon Cohen's name and score. All he can think about now is the bicycle that just landed at the Institute of Basic Industry!

When he thought of this, Matteo Holden quickened his pace, hurriedly packed up his dinner plate, and rushed towards the Institute of Basic Industry.

…

The Institute of Basic Industry can be regarded as one of the few independent research institutions located on the east campus of Idar Public University, not far from the Library of Alexandria and surrounded by gardens, lawns and craftsmen's dormitories.

Before Matteo Holden approached, he saw a large group of people gathered on the grass in front of the institute. Even his deputy was standing aside, looking around.

"Director..."

When he saw Matteo Holden coming back, the deputy hurried over, breathing heavily.

"What's wrong?"

Matteo Holden couldn’t help but feel worried:

"Aren't you assembling bicycles in the institute? Why are they all coming out? Could it be that... there is something wrong with the bicycle?"

"It's not the bicycle's problem, it's the Duke. The Duke heard the news of the bicycle landing and came over to take a look." The deputy quickly added.

Hearing this, Matteo Holden suddenly seemed a little nervous.

no way,

He led his team of craftsmen and spent more than half a year tinkering with the bicycle. If it was not satisfactory...

Even if the Duke doesn't criticize harshly, he will definitely feel ashamed!

And right now, the bicycle has only been built as the first physical object. It has not been actually tested, and there are no plans to start mass production for the time being.

If the first test is not ideal, then where should I put my face? This is in front of the Duke!

But the Duke was already here after all, and it was impossible for him to drive his Duke back, so he could only bite the bullet and walk over:

"Your Majesty the Duke..."

"Who are you?"

Seeing Matteo Holden walking towards him, Bruno looked confused.

This is not because he deliberately pretends not to know each other, but because before time travel, Bruno was a member of the flower gardening family after all. Although he has lived in this land for a long time now, people like Matteo Holden There were always a long list of names, and he was still a little uncomfortable remembering them.

What's more, as a Duke, Bruno sees many people every day. If he can remember every name, then Bruno doesn't need to keep a diary all day long.

Who the hell keeps a diary?

If it weren't for the fact that many things are easy to forget and many people's names cannot be remembered well, Bruno would be too lazy to write a diary.

"I am Matteo Holden, the Duke. I am responsible for the development and manufacturing of bicycles."

Matteo Holden quickly replied.

"Oh! Let me tell you, I didn't recognize you for a moment,"

Bruno patted Matteo Holden's shoulder affectionately and affirmed: "I said a long time ago that Matteo Holden is my right-hand man!"

Hearing this, Matteo Holden was flattered: "This is all thanks to the cultivation and trust of the Duke..."

"Okay, okay, I won't say much else, just get the bike out and have a look!" Bruno said eagerly.

You know, he has been waiting for this bicycle for a long time.

As more and more roads in the Principality of Idar are paved with hard and clean cement pavements, Bruno has been coveting this kind of vehicle that does not require animal power for a long time.

only,

Whether it is bearings or tires, whether it is brakes or chains, although a bicycle sounds simple, these parts cannot be produced simply.

Take tires for example,

Nowadays, tires for horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts are all made of wood.

But if wooden tires are forced onto a bicycle...

It’s scary to think about it!

Therefore, the Idar CIA planned a military operation called "Basel Scalpel".

With the close cooperation of Idar agents and Idar naval soldiers, Marquis Stein was forced to surrender (see Chapters 346 and 327 for details), and the rubber plantation opened by the Idar people in the south of Basel was successfully established. stand up.

A large amount of natural rubber was transported to the Principality of Idar by sea, but... this is still not the end!

As we all know, tires are produced from rubber, and more than half of the rubber on the planet is used in the production of tires. However, the rubber here does not refer to white natural rubber.

If you want to turn natural rubber into tires, you must not only add a large number of other raw materials to the natural rubber, but also go through extremely strict processes.

If Bruno hadn't been opportunistic and exchanged the tire production skills in the system mall, and the Principality of Idar happened to have raw materials unique to the world that could replace certain industrial reagents, the production of tires would probably have been far away.

And this is just the production of tires.

Bearings, frames, chains, brake lines...

Each of these scattered components requires a lot of manpower and money for research and development and trial production.

Although Matteo Holden felt that his research progress was extremely slow and he felt a lot of pressure, in fact, in Bruno's view, this speed can be called shocking!

After hearing the Duke's instructions, the craftsmen present naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly carried the Idar Principality, or the world's first bicycle, to the open space in front of the Basic Industry Research Institute.

Good guy!

As soon as he saw the bicycle neatly placed in front of him, Bruno felt excited in his heart.

Familiar, really too familiar...

Perhaps the workmanship is quite rough in some places, and some of the structures of the frame are a little weird, but... the bicycle that the craftsmen lifted in front of them is almost the same as the "28 big bar" of the previous generation. Carved from the mold!

The two large-looking wheels are one behind the other, and the frame seems to be a horizontal steel bar.

Bruno circled around the bicycle in front of him, and then said something that shocked everyone at the venue:

"It looks good, I'll try it out!"

Hearing this, Matteo Holden's face suddenly changed, and Mondale on the side also looked a little nervous, and quickly advised:

"Your Majesty Duke, this...this thing called a bicycle has not been debugged and has not been fully tested after all. It would be a bit risky for you to go directly up there..."

"Yeah yeah!"

The craftsmen on the side nodded quickly.

Including Matteo Holden, although they are quite confident in the bicycle they have made, the first person to test it is Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, the ruler of this land!

If there is no problem, that's okay, but if there is a slight problem, even if the Duke does not pursue it, they will feel uneasy conscience and even feel extremely ashamed.

"Your Excellency, how about you let the craftsmen give it a try first, and after confirming that the bicycle is successful, you will..."

Before Matteo Holden finished speaking,

Bruno glared at him:

"Which of you can balance, and who of you has ever ridden this bike?"

Hearing this, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The craftsmen present looked at each other.

Isn't it because I haven't tried it yet that I dare not let the Duke take risks? Furthermore, if they had known the performance and quality of this bicycle in advance, they would not have stopped their Lord Duke.

Seeing this, Bruno said seriously:

"You can't do it, but I can! This is what our ancestor of the Stuart family taught me in a dream!"

Hearing this, Mundell felt a little speechless.

Ever since he stayed with the Duke for a long time, he discovered that... the ancestors of the Stuart family were quite busy. Even after they passed away, they spent all day dreaming about their descendants.

In this more than a month, the Duke mentioned the number of dreams in front of him no less than four times.

Well guys, once a week!

Seeing that everyone present was silent, Bruno smiled freely, then quickly stepped on the bicycle in front of him and started moving.
