Chapter 1720 A New Beginning

St. John's Island, the same library, the same gray-haired guy.

It's just that he has a little girl by his side now, a little girl who likes to steal his snacks.

The gray-haired man held the document in his hand, his face was filled with excitement, "Gwen, your qualification has been approved, you are now an assistant researcher on St. I will also allocate you a house and a small piece of public land."

"Public land?" The little girl named Gwen was taken aback for a moment, "What is public land! Mr. Charles!"

Charles smiled, touched his beard, and smiled brightly, "The public land is similar to the land obtained by the nobles, but as a researcher, our public land does not require us to cultivate it, and it does not require us to cultivate it. There is no need for us to graze these lands to obtain food and cattle and sheep."

"The public land is the corresponding land used by the Iron Kingdom to cultivate, and part of it is used as the basis of our salary, similar to the territory of nobles."

The little girl named Gwen's eyes lit up, "That means, I won't have to worry about food and clothing from now on."

The old man called Charles smiled again, and stroked Gwen's messy hair.

"You can say that, but it's not all. It doesn't belong to you. Its ownership is under the name of the research institute. You just receive its corresponding output."

"The academic research atmosphere of the White Iron Kingdom is very free. No matter what we study, the consul of the Kingdom will basically support it. As long as you don't take the initiative to oppose him, or even stand up and say that you want to overthrow him, overthrow the bullshit of the White Iron Kingdom. Tyranny will do!"

"The scope of research here has almost no direction. Of course, if you want to approve more budgets, you need to come up with some results, at least some experimental results, such as proving something, or discovering something. .”

Gwen tilted her head and looked at Charles, "What if I find the stars in the sky?"

Charles narrowed his eyes. He liked this little girl named Gwen. She was smart and kind, and had an unprecedented interest in astronomy.

Interest is the key, he is very old, and he hopes to find a disciple of his own.

And the little girl named Gwen in front of him was very much to his liking.

In the Kingdom of White Iron, he had no children, and his children were all in Prussia, but the little girl in front of him gave him a gleam of brilliance that he didn't have in his lonely research life.

Although they are not the same age, and even have a huge age gap, there are some things that Charles and his children can't understand at all. They can't even understand why Charles is so crazy about chasing the stars in the sky.

But this little girl understands, and this little girl seems to have hopes for the stars in the sky that ordinary people can't match.

Looking at the huge telescope in his home, the smile on Charles's face became more benevolent. It was a telescope he just built with the research funding he applied for.

It can see the surface of the moon, and even see many stars that could not be seen before.

There are not many people like him engaged in astronomical research in the White Iron Kingdom, and some people were even astonished after Charles came into contact with them.

The people who study the stars in the White Iron Kingdom are not only looking for unknown stars in the sky, but some people can even use the stars.

For example, the astrologers in the legends even have some strange methods from the east. They can even use stars to arrange formations. Although the effect is not as powerful as they boasted, it also surprised Charles very much.

He discovered that there are countless unexplored mysteries in the sky.

Compared with these mysteries, the battles between these kingdoms, pirates and pirates, cannon and ships, were nothing to Charles at all.

There is nothing more exciting than exploring the mysteries of the universe, at least in his opinion.

Charles handed the document in his hand to Gwen, the little girl in front of him, "This is just a preliminary document. A document will be issued from Bogota, Colombia in a few months, and it will be your identification."

"With this certificate, you can settle in St. John's, or you can go to Bogota to study. There is a school called Columbia University. I have written a recommendation form for you. I hope you can study there."

"But Mr. Charles, I just want to learn by your side."

Charles shook his head, "Child, you are still too young. Although you can talk to me about many things, you need to see more new things in life."

"Columbia University is such a place. There are countless bright young people there, and the academic atmosphere there is very strong. I hope you can find your true love for astronomy there, and even find out where your future lies. You will also meet many friends there, and I cannot chain you to me because of my own selfishness."

"I will visit you, and you can come back to visit me during the school holidays!"

Looking at Charles' ardent hope, Gwen suddenly felt tears blurred her eyes. This is a kind of care like a father.

After her father abandoned her, she was pursued by the men of the Iron Kingdom, and unable to find a formal identity, she could only choose to drift at sea, huddling with dirty sailors who didn't bathe in the cabin.

Like pigs, cockroaches and mice, she is wandering, from San Juan to Dow Jones Island, to St. John's, she has been to too many places.

When she finds that a crisis is coming, she will get into a certain cabin like a mouse, drift with the current, and then float to the next island without anyone noticing.

This kind of life seemed normal to her, but today, with a document, she knew that her fate had been completely changed.

She no longer needs to hide in Tibet. She has a formal identity and a formal household registration. Her name is Gwen Buckley, and she is a member of the Buckley family.

Charles was her guardian and his titular grandfather.

To be precise, in terms of age, he could be the daughter of this Professor Charles, but Charles reported her identity as his distant niece.

Old Charles smiled, and touched the girl's head again, the tears in the girl's eyes could not be stopped.

Charles smiled and said, "My child, don't waste your tears in this kind of place. This is joy. It's best not to cry when you are in joy."

"Old man, I haven't felt this way for a long time." Gwen had an indescribably warm feeling.

"Come on, next I will take you to the best restaurant on this island. Although those damn orientals are very stingy, their food is indeed much better than that of Prussia and England, especially the British. .”

"Those British people are even more terrifying than the alchemy products made by those neurotic wizards. Thanks to our Consul, who used to be a very tricky British person, we also benefited from it, otherwise we It will be miserable."

Gwen also laughed through tears.

Zeng Yunfeng has always been very strict with the food requirements in various places.

There is no problem with the saying that what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom.

It is precisely because of Zeng Yunfeng's pickiness about food and life that he gradually drives the large-scale development and promotion of these luxury goods, food and clothing.

However, it also brought a trace of bad atmosphere, that is, the extravagance of the White Iron Kingdom began to prevail.

Once people settle down, have a surplus of food, and even start to live affluently, they will think about how to toss and enjoy.

Drinks, cigars, coffee, cocoa, bread, milk, ice cream, everything.

In the Iron Kingdom, all kinds of delicacies are placed on people's tables one by one.

People began to want more than just food and clothing as before, but more.

In Charles' view, this is a symbol of the growing prosperity of the Iron Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Iron will become more and more prosperous in the future.

Charles didn't know how many of these astronomical achievements he had made had helped the Iron Kingdom, but after getting the approval from Bogota, Charles was excited in his heart.

Because His Excellency the Consul recognized his knowledge and did not think that the things he studied were worthless rubbish.

At the very least, the approved funds are proof, so he tried his best to make some achievements to tell his consul that his approval was worth the price.
