The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 74 The Diffusion of Knowledge

After returning to the camp, Feng Yu and Alan washed the snake apples, dried them, and then mashed them. Since there was no sugar, they added some honey and mixed them well. Then they sealed them in a jar.

"It will probably take ten days. Then call Dick and we'll taste it together. If the snake apples are similar to the grapes we grow there, we'll have to transplant snake vines on a large scale in the future. Otherwise, we won't be able to satisfy Dick's appetite."

"If it's really as you said, we wouldn't have to use the hard-earned grain to brew the current Agehao."

"Hello, brother? What is it?"

Allen rolled his eyes at Feng Yu and said, "It's the kind of wine we usually drink. I know you dislike it. Agerhao made it with grain husks, small potatoes and other things to save food. So it's not very delicious, but it can still make people drunk. At least the dwarves don't dislike it."

Feng Yu nodded, thinking that swill wine had such a strange name.

"Brother Darren, are you a very important noble in your place?"

Feng Yu didn't understand what was going on and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Alan scratched his head and said, "I see that you are very meticulous in what you eat, drink, and use. You don't look like an ordinary child at first glance."

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "When I was little, I grew up in an orphanage. An orphanage is a place that specifically adopts children without parents. I don't even have parents, so how can I be a child of an aristocratic family?
When I was young, in order to earn a living, I worked in salt fields, in restaurants, and in many other jobs. Later, I realized the importance of knowledge, so I taught myself, and eventually became a craftsman who could earn a lot of money.

To put it in the terms of the Green Continent, you can understand that an unwanted child became a great magician through his own efforts. "

Alan said in surprise: "Is it the knowledge of those machines you made?"

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "These things are just elementary. I can't make the kind of things I'm learning yet. But luckily I also know some elementary knowledge, otherwise it would be a joke."

“It turns out that your position is equivalent to that of our great sage. No wonder you can create so many magical things.

Brother Darren, there is something...I think..."

"Alan, you were the first person I met when I came to the camp. It was you who introduced me to Dick and the others and helped me integrate into this camp. Besides, even without all that, we are still brothers now. Just tell me if you have anything to say. I can do it."

Allen said with emotion: "Darren, my good brother, thank you. I want... to let our halfling children learn from you, is this... okay?"

Feng Yu patted Alan on the shoulder and said, "Why not? Even if you don't tell me, I will talk to you later and ask you to introduce a halfling child to me to study."

"Really? That's great! You know, there aren't many of us halflings who have magical talent."

Feng Yu smiled and said, "Do you know why I teach the elf children?"

Alan shook his head. They all thought that Feng Yu taught the elf children knowledge because of Nicole, but Alan was not stupid, so how could he say it directly in front of Feng Yu.

"Because the elves have a long lifespan, their children are generally quite old, very sensible, and can read, so it is very easy for me to teach them. If I teach them, they can teach more children.

Haven't you noticed that I have already let my students give lectures? I also teach the manufacturing techniques to students and some craftsmen, and then let them teach more people.

Knowledge is priceless, but as you can see, knowledge is different from magic. It is not a one-person thing. It requires unity and cooperation among people with various knowledge.

Therefore, I will definitely teach you my knowledge, you don’t have to worry about that, as long as you are willing to learn, you can come and learn from me.”

Alan said happily, "That's great. You don't know that in the Green Continent, whether it's magic knowledge or other knowledge, it's all very valuable. If you want to learn, you must not only be recognized by the instructor, but also hold a strict apprenticeship ceremony and serve the teacher for life."

"This is a problem of concept. That's why the progress of the Grein Continent is so slow. My hometown is different. We will spread knowledge and let all those who are interested and capable study it and create new knowledge.

Let me tell you a little secret: we have more than 100 million people who possess advanced knowledge.

So don't worry, just send someone to learn, as long as they are interested."

Allen froze in surprise, shocked by the one hundred million that Feng Yu said.

Darren alone has changed the camp completely and created so many magical machines and weapons. How powerful would their country with 100 million highly knowledgeable people be?
Feng Yu was not lying about this. The total number of college graduates there had already exceeded 100 million.

The steam water pump ultimately failed to use the screw pumping structure that Feng Yu had come up with. He made a mistake that he took for granted.

Theoretically, a screw pump can transport water to a wasteland that is more than 20 meters away from the river bank. However, when Feng Yu asked his students to use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate how long the sloped water trough should be built, he discovered a serious problem.

Those who have some knowledge about steel, or have twisted steel bars on construction sites, must know that once steel reaches a certain length, it is no different from noodles.

If a steel bar as thick as a wrist is only one meter long, it can be used as a crowbar. You will never be able to bend it relying solely on manpower. But if this crowbar as thick as a wrist is thirty meters long, then you only need to fix one end of it and can easily bend it by moving the other end.

Feng Yu wanted to make a spiral rod that was definitely more than 20 meters long. This thing was simply impossible to use. The spiral rod water pumping device he saw in reality was less than 10 meters long.

Fortunately, the sink has not been repaired yet, otherwise this guy would be in big trouble.

But now Feng Yu has the help of the alchemist and can design a larger, better-sealed steam engine and a more sophisticated ordinary water pump. He can make sealed copper water pipes by bending and welding copper plates, thus solving the problem of pumping water.

Such a well-sealed water pump that draws water through a water pipe, driven by a specially made large steam engine and speed gear, has a high-speed pumping efficiency that is much higher than that of a screw pump.
