The first class was over.
When Lin Tuo turned around and entered the academy and closed the gate, the students all over the mountain were finally pulled out of their flow state for a short time.
Though, no one dared to waste time.
There were still six hours before the second class, which was not long, but there was nothing left except sleep.
The recorders of the imperial court worked hard. They began to sort out the snow-filled paper on the table, put it in a box, and escort it to the foot of the mountain.
Dozens of hours of intensive study made the proud young students unbearably tired.
“Wow.”
On the bright Nanshan Mountain, people got up one after another, holding notes. They walked to the county town or the camp that had been arranged long ago. It was magnificent yet funny.
Some younger scholars simply took off their jackets and just lay on the mountainside, or lay down on their desks, falling asleep.
Some people who had just rested and took turns to listen to the lectures simply gathered in groups, exchanging excitedly about what was said in the class.
…
At the same time, Lin Tuo also threw his body on the bed of the academy. He made an appearance of falling asleep, but he actually switched his consciousness back to his main body.
Lishan martial arts hall.
“Glub, glub, glub.”
Taking out a bottle of pure water from the refrigerator, Lin Tuo drank it clean in one breath and wiped the corners of his mouth, pressing his throat with a wry smile afterwards.
‘Why didn’t I feel this way when I was giving a lecture? After I finished, I felt terribly thirsty.’
Shaking his head helplessly, he moved his body and looked at his phone.
Well, the 1:1 time flow rate did not mean that the time inside and outside the sandbox is the same. At this moment, early morning has passed outside the sandbox world.
Considering that there are not any takeaways open at these late hours in the small town, Lin Tuo simply boiled instant noodles. While eating, he sat in front of the computer to prepare the materials for the second class.
Well, he had to prepare the lesson well.
…
The next day, noon.
The weather was cloudy with a breeze.
When Lin Tuo switched consciousness again, he heard a low humming voice outside the academy.
Squeak!
He opened the door and walked out of the courtyard. As expected, the number of students on Nanshan seemed to have increased.
During these six hours, many people have arrived.
Fortunately, rotation of students is common. Otherwise, Lin Tuo suspects that many people will not even have the opportunity to enter.
Shaking his head, no longer thinking about this, Lin Tuo tidied his clothes and pinched a piece of chalk. The students noise suddenly subsided like a tide.
A gust of mountain wind blew, clouds fluttered in the sky, and green bamboos swayed on the mountain.
“Mr. Lin, what are you going to talk about today? Are you really not talking about science?” The monarch sitting in the front raised his hand and asked, his eyes flashing.
“In the second class, we don’t talk about scientific theories, but about scientific creation.”
Lin Tuo nodded, then looked around at the Nanshan students, paused for a while, turned around and drew on the blackboard.
Agriculture, industry, commerce, education, medical…
After finishing writing, he drew a circle on “Industry”, led out a branch line and wrote down four sub-items named 'steam engine”, “coal”, 'steel” and “iron” in turn.
Then he turned around and explained with a smile.
“I said that the content of the second class will be more, richer and more complex. The name of this class, I call it the ‘industrial revolution’…
However, before we talk about the industrial revolution, the first thing we have to talk about is agriculture… Specifically, the first question in our class is how to expand food production?”
Hearing this sentence, most of the students were visibly stunned. It seemed that they didn’t expect that the knowledge in the second class turned out to be so prevalent.
If the 'science” of the first class was still a little far off.
This class was obviously more grounded in reality.
They were keenly aware that what Lin Tuo was talking about today would be the real lesson.
…
As Lin Tuo said, the content of the second class was mixed and plentiful. If the first class was just to forcibly open the door of science in the minds of the elites in Chi Dynasty.
Then, the second class was a practical means to promote social development quickly.
Lin Tuo had previously consulted a large amount of information about the first industrial revolution, and combined his research on the social situation of Chi Dynasty these days to compile a set of information packages.
From the fields of agriculture, industry and commerce, the successful experience in history was transferred.
Of course, Lin Tuo also “localized” it to a certain extent. It only taught some basic techniques techniques.
For example, “new farm tools”, “chemical fertilizers”, “large-scale farming”, “new steel smelting technology”, “movable type printing” and so on were suitable for this era.
A series of technical processes that could be mastered at the current technological level of Chi Dynasty.
Among these many technologies, stimulating agricultural development was undoubtedly the first.
According to the information he consulted, the premise of industrial transformation was agricultural transformation.
In the end, a brand-new thing like a factory could be created.
However, after investigation, it was probably due to the fact that the sandbox world’s evolution was based on reality. Many animals and plants on this continent are highly similar and overlapped with Earth.
This also facilitated Lin Tuo’s technical handling.
And as he began to tell the knowledge related to national economy and people’s livelihood in different categories.
Unknowingly, Nanshan’s thoughts on Lin Tuo changed again.
Especially the officials among them were even more excited. Compared with the scholars present, they understood more how terrifying power Lin Tuo’s technology contained.
“His teachings hold the power to change the world.” The young monarch muttered to himself softly.
…
“It’s starting again… I don’t know how long this time it will last…”
“Speaking of which, what is Mr. Lin talking about this time?”
“I heard that he was teaching the farming and ironing.” A well-informed person said.
Hearing this, there was silence in the tea shop of Tao County. Then, a group of people shook their heads and laughed, “How is it possible? The saint is teaching this?”
“Yes, the saint is really teaching that..”
…
Tao County was getting more and more lively, but the people gathered in the tea shop in Tao County became more and more confused.
They found that they couldn’t understand.
More and more news showed that the young saint seemed to be teaching, not only teaching, taking notes, and even drawing on the huge wall of the academy.
But all the court officials became more energetic, despite the lengthy sessions.
And this second class was also extremely long.
In a blink of an eye, it was dark, but with the help of the heaven’s light, Lin Tuo continued to teach.
One day and night passed.
Mr. Lin did not stop.
Another day and night passed.
Mr. Lin still did not stop.
The people who listened to Nanshan changed session after session, but Mr. Lin seemed to be tireless, except for the breaks he took every now and then, he never stopped.
Outside the sandbox world, Lin Tuo also struggled this time. With his current physical stamina, coupled with the assistance of coffee and tea, he also had to take naps.
Anyway, he was young and strong.
Lin Tuo finally put down the chalk, looked at the blackboard full of handwriting, announcing the end of the second class. All the students almost collapsed.
However, because of the physical exhaustion Lin Tuo must have endured, they look at him as if they looked at God.
You know, in their eyes, Lin Tuo talked about it for three consecutive days and two nights, not to mention eating, he hadn’t even drank anything, but he was still calm.
This kind of physical endurance made people unable to produce even the slightest jealousy, only awe.
Lin Tuo didn’t know their thoughts very well. He just sorted out the blackboard and said, “This is probably all of the contents in the second class. If there is any omission in the record, you can ask me in the next class.”
After a pause, Lin Tuo continued, “Six hours later, I will be here to give the third and final class.
Oh, rest assured, it won’t be as long as this time, and there is very little content to record.
It probably takes only one or two hours to finish the lecture. The rest is time for answering questions. If you have any questions, you can prepare and answer them together.”
After speaking, Lin Tuo forcibly suppressed the urge to yawn and turned back to the academy. Switching back to his main body, he climbed into bed without and fell asleep.
Only Nanshan Academy was left, and tens of thousands of students looked at each other.
“The last class? Is it over so soon?”
Many people had such thoughts in their hearts, and they were immediately replaced by curiosity.
After these two lectures, they were completely convinced by Lin Tuo who could stay endure teaching for days and nights.
Therefore, they were increasingly looking forward to this so-called last class.
…
After several consecutive days of teaching, the number of people coming from all over the country finally gradually decreased. However, those who have come, whether they really understand or just join in the fun, have not left.
Especially when they heard that only the last lecture of Mr. Lin was left, no one wanted to miss it.
Moreover, it is precisely because of the gimmick of this last class.
When six hours later, Lin Tuo, who was satiated and drunk, pushed open the door of the academy again and looked towards the hillside.
Because there are too many people, except for those with seats, the rest could only stand.
The total number of people here is probably more than the previous two games combined.
If Lin Tuo switched back to his main body at this moment, he would find that the entire Tao County had almost become an empty city!
That’s the case even for the empty alleys!
“What happened?” Lin Tuo wanted to ask aloud, but considering the role he played, he didn’t say anything after all, so he could only try to make himself calmer.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, he walked under the courtyard wall.
“Mr. Lin, what are you talking about today?” The young monarch sitting in the first row asked.
Lin Tuo took a deep breath and pursed his lips. He didn’t give an answer immediately, but was silent. Then he slowly drew out a piece of chalk, but did not write any handwriting on the blackboard.
He just cut off the chalk at will, threw it on the ground, chuckled lightly, and then looked at the monarch and the people with a seemingly plain and relaxed expression.
“Today is the last class, so I want to talk to you about something relaxing, not so mind-blowing, maybe very interesting, but very important.”
“What is it?” The monarch couldn’t help asking.
Immediately, up and down Nanshan, tens of thousands of listeners, men and women, young and old, were able to hear the sound that came from the mountain and amplified many times at the same moment.
“Today, I will talk about Chi Dynasty’s future for 300 years.”
His voice fell.
There was a brief silence among the crowd.
Afterwards, Nanshan went up and down, boiling!!!
