I was forced to be the captain of the ghost ship by mistake

Chapter 120 The Second Generation of the Academy of Social Sciences (5000-word chapter)
Logically speaking, students from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences rarely have the ability to participate in such competitions.

Because this year, this freshman competition named "Challenge Cup" has been endowed with the king's will, and one of the assessments is related to operation and hands-on ability.

Even if it's not the students from the School of Mechanical Technology that shine, at least the students from the School of Natural Sciences should stand out.

No matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with the students of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The student who really made Charles Kane and other professors of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences feel hopeful is naturally the child who did the "double slit experiment" and discovered the composition of the light source.

He actually chose to major in archaeology.

A game like this about the hands-on category can only pin its hopes on him now.

"As for the Challenge Cup competition, the assessment of poetry is not difficult. I can recommend some students from the freshmen of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences to form a team for you. If necessary, I will help you organize it.

The focus of the competition is on the second item, which must come up with a useful experiment or invention for the teachers of the Seven Schools League to score.

Among the freshmen in this class, I really can't think of anyone who is more suitable than you. If you can do another experiment of the same level as the 'double slit experiment', then you will definitely get the first place. "

Professor Kane looked at Tu Fu with caring eyes. The corner of the latter's mouth kept twitching as he listened to the rules. He knew that the game was so complicated that he should have opened his mouth to ask for more.

"Sir, the 'double slit experiment' was just a flash of my brain." Tu Fu shook his head and wanted to deny it.

The young Professor Kane winked at him, "The ghost ship problem too? Why be so modest, it's just a kind of pride."

Not only Professor Kane, but the entire faculty of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences looked optimistic about him. It was too late for Tu Fu to open his mouth to refuse, after all, the price had already been negotiated just now.

He really couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that the first thing he did when he entered the school was to participate in the competition to intercept the king's special funds.

"Okay, I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee that I will get the special fund." Tu Fu had no choice but to agree.

"We all believe in you, and we are willing to help if there is any need."

Professor Kane gave encouragement again, patted Tufu on the shoulder, and said with a gentle smile: "About this competition, our college is very much looking forward to seeing you on the stage to accept the award at the University of Göttinghagen in a month's time."

"University of Göttinghagen?" Tu Fu raised his eyebrows as if thinking of something.

"Because the venue of this year's Challenge Cup competition is at the University of Göttinghagen." Not only Professor Kane, but all the teachers present would smile when they mentioned this.

Think about it, if the competition held at Columbia was held by UM students, it would be a great scene.

Then I realized that this is another open and secret struggle between the two universities, comparing the pros and cons of the students between the two schools this year.

Sophie should also go to a freshman competition of this scale... Tu Fu's thoughts were racing, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Charles Kane's caring eyes and nodded seriously: "I understand, please help me." I signed up for the game."

"Everything outside the game will be handled by me." Charles Kane promised readily.

If this matter is successful, it will not only allow the University of Michigan to show off at the University of Göttinghagen, but also a large amount of funds for the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

In fact, this competition is not too difficult for him, and Tu Fu is not in a hurry. Fortunately, there is still a month for him to try.

Even if there is nothing to get out of it, take out the "double slit experiment" and modify it.

It is a great experiment to replace the experimental subject with a new reference object.

Unlike the teachers of the Academy of Social Sciences who had the idea of ​​letting him try, Tu Fu had already planned the bonus arrangement in his mind.

"If you can get this money, at least you can pay off the Winster family's mortgage on the house, and at least you can use the remaining money to continue purchasing the formulas and potions needed for Sequence 7."

Thinking of this, Tu Fu couldn't help clenching his fists and became excited involuntarily.

……

After the grand opening ceremony, it is very prestigious for His Majesty the King to give a speech in person. This year's UM students will definitely be able to boast until the end of graduation.

Sure enough, it is not surprising that after the rumors about the "perpetual motion machine" spread, not only the newspapers of the Kingdom of Baia "Göttinghagen Current Affairs", "Caddis Post", "Rail River News", "Osway Candid Man" was frantically reprinted in all factories, preparing to publish such content on the next day's page.

Even international journalists such as the Herald quoted Wilhelm II's speech in their headlines tomorrow, and were skeptical.

Once such a major event is revealed, it cannot be concealed. Every word and deed of a king will affect the image of this country in other countries at any time.

If a country's ruler makes a slip of the tongue or has any indecent behavior at a press conference, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the people of other countries.

Wilhelm II's "perpetual motion factory" can't be said to be a laughing stock, at least it will bring a lot of after-dinner talk to people from all over the world.

Far away in the small town of Villedo, Tufu of Miskar Stark University didn't care about the success of the king's experiment at all. He cared more about the Challenge Cup now.

Under the arrangement of Professor Kane, he finally met the freshmen from the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences who participated in the competition with him in a conference hall.

It is said that they are all the best and most potential freshmen of the Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences. Including Tu Fu, they are a combination of three men and two women.

Sitting in the arena, they all seem to be well-mannered men and women. Judging from the gorgeous clothes, they are all made of high-end fabrics. The correct sitting posture shows that they have received good training.

Until seeing Tu Fu coming, the head of a classical and resolute boy stood up first, and reached out his hand very bluntly,

"Hi, I'm Clan Sollens from the Law Department. I look forward to a happy cooperation with you."

"Solons?"

Tu Fu was taken aback when he heard the surname, and the latter nodded with a polite smile, "Mr. Thilo Sollens is my father. Before me, there were three older brothers and two older sisters. I am the youngest in the family." bit."

Just when Tu Fu was surprised by the honorable status of the other party's prime minister's son, Crane glanced at one of the two ladies and stretched out his hand slightly, "This is Miss Elena Weimar from the Department of Literature, She is a lady who has truly received an aristocratic education."

He shifted his gaze to the quiet and indifferent lady that Kelan had mentioned, like a sea without tide, with no ripples on her indifferent facial expression, and her flawless white face was as creamy as cream.

A pair of delicate flat mirrors are sandwiched on the bridge of the slightly raised nose, and a pair of night-like black pearls are inlaid on the face without a smile. Coupled with soft blond hair, it looks like a finely carved jade doll.

What attracted Tu Fu at first sight was not the other party's good temperament, but a book of ancient poems in his hand.

"A literary girl?"

Tu Fu labeled the other party in his heart. Unfortunately, he didn't like the current poems in the Northern Continent. Not only were they boring and lengthy, but most of the symbolic cultures were also things from this world, which didn't appeal to him.

After listening to Kelan's first introduction, Tu Fu thought of the Weimar surname as a powerful duke family in Baia, which seemed to be a very old family in Baia.

Another descendant of a great man.

The identities of the remaining two classmates are not so exaggerated. One is a descendant of the emerging bourgeoisie engaged in agricultural trade in the southern Black Forest region, and a boy named David Smith is studying in the management department.

This classmate has a very cheerful personality, and his words are also very friendly. He has perfectly inherited the personality of his father and grandfather's businessmen. Although he also looks like a son-in-law, he is also very polite in dealing with others of his age.

The last one present was a lady named Bella Wayne, a history major student, with a capable appearance and a heroic appearance, her skin was different from Elena's, a brownish wheat color.

When she introduced herself, Tu Fu listened to this but always felt very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Fortunately, the well-informed Crane, after hearing the other party's self-introduction, subconsciously said, "There was an old professor of history named Max Wayne before the University of Michigan, who was very famous for his research on the Tertiary Epoch. He was a great man, but unfortunately later..."

"Max Wayne is indeed my grandfather."

Bella admitted frankly, which made Ke Lan a little embarrassed.

The latter looked at Tu Fu, vaguely wanting to explain something, "Mr. Wayne was also a member of the University of Michigan expedition team that had the accident, and Miss Wayne's father is still investigating this matter."

"I see." Tu Fu finally remembered that he had seen the surname Wayne before when he inquired about his parents going to the polar regions with a professor from the University of Michigan.

It seems that this lady named Bella is studying the history department of the University of Michigan and probably wants to inherit her grandfather's class. The most important thing for this kind of scholarly family is inheritance.

"Perhaps this lady will help me restart the polar exploration in the future, and indeed I should find some allies in Missouri." Tu Fu silently speculated in his heart, no wonder Mr. McGovern would say that he was in the Seven Schools Alliance There is also a force that wants to restart the exploration of the polar regions.

In fact, with Kelan's eyes and words just now, Tu Fu finally realized that this guy knew about him, and he probably had investigated his identity long ago.

No wonder, after all, they are students of the same university. For a nobleman like Kelan, he must have already figured out who is worthy of attention in the same academy.

I am afraid that several other people have already known their identities.

Among the four students from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, one is the daughter of a duke, the son of a prime minister, a descendant of the emerging bourgeoisie, and the granddaughter of a well-known scholar. Naturally, it is not easy to be recommended by Professor Kane.

It seems that the prestigious students of the University of Michigan are all in the Humanities and Social Sciences Park.

This situation is quite normal. The higher the status of the person, the major they choose is almost always political and philosophical.

Families with a middle class or even lower class will send their children to more practical in-house majors such as mechanical technology, natural science, and biological sciences.

Now it seems that Professor Kane’s intention of forming this team is obvious, and he wants to give the most valuable and potential children of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of this generation a chance to communicate.

"It's not that you want me to take them to gilt."

Tu Fu murmured in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

Although he didn't know if these people could help him, he still asked for their opinions first, "Professor Kane should have told everyone about this Challenge Cup competition, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Actually, I don't think this competition is suitable for us. His Majesty the King's intention is very clear. He wants to give this special fund to the Institute of Mechanical Technology for the development of 'perpetual motion machines'.

Even if the reviewer is a teacher from the Seven Schools Alliance, it is inevitable to be biased logically, unless we can make a very eye-catching project. "

Crane Thorens, who has a keen political sense, mentioned this difficulty.

"I also think so. Research and invention is not our strong point. It is better to give up strategically. Anyway, there will be opportunities to prove ourselves in the future."

David, who has a lot of money, also thinks so. He doesn't care about those rewards, because even a transfer of [-] kroner is the same in his eyes.

Among the four, only Miss Elena, the Duke's daughter, frowned slightly after hearing these words, but she didn't speak.

She glanced at Ms. Wayne, and Bella also analyzed it seriously: "As for the game, my major is hard to help, but if there is anything I can do, I will try my best."

After hearing this, Tu Fu felt a little better. Obviously, it is very difficult for them, who are not professional students with strong hands-on skills, to participate in this kind of competition.

He could also clearly feel that these students did not have such a great desire for the competition.

It may be a professional issue, or it may be a family reason, in short, I don't have such a great desire for honor and that money.

Tu Fu pretended to think about it, and after thinking about the strategy, he smiled softly to the team members who had no fighting spirit, "A match is really nothing, but we went to the University of Göttinghagen to represent Miskar Stark, If we just hand in our finished product in a casual manner, it must be the same as the JMU that people ridiculed at the time."

His words immediately made Bella Wayne, among the four, uneasy. Her personal reputation is not that important.

It's just that thinking of the history department of the University of Michigan that she represents will definitely make people think of her grandfather and father, and it will not be her own face that will be lost.

Ms. Mendibella from Shuxiang immediately changed her words: "I will take this competition seriously. It is true that the University of Michigan cannot be smeared at will. This is not just our face."

Tu Fu was very satisfied with her changed attitude, but his words did not end. He looked vaguely at David, the descendant of the emerging bourgeoisie,
"I guess there will be a lot of ladies from this year, and they will sit under the stands and cheer us up. It's not a good thing if someone steals the limelight at that time."

Another meaning implied in his words is that this game is related to many things.

Even the value in the eyes of the opposite sex in the next four years, that is the stage of Columbia University. If you just go up and walk through the stage like this, you will lose the right to choose a spouse first. This is by no means a trivial matter.

Sure enough, the spark in David's eyes was instantly ignited when he realized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately pulled himself up and looked at the game squarely again.
"Mr. Capet, I will do my best if there is anything that needs me to do."

"This is the right choice." The latter nodded and smiled.

And it is not difficult to convince the two students.

Tu Fu continued to talk with a smile: "If I remember correctly, most of the students from the School of Mechanical Technology and the School of Natural Sciences are from middle-class or lower families. Whether it is Columbia University or Michigan University, they must be the protagonists of this challenge cup. .

Guess what people will say about the students of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences when the time comes?
Even if they don't say it, they will think in their hearts that a group of second-generation people who can only rely on their family background can't achieve anything by themselves. It seems that what we are inferior to them is only the skill of reincarnation.

I don't know what you guys think, anyway, as an ordinary family, I don't care at all. "

After hearing these words, Clan Thorens and Miss Elena still kept smiling gracefully, even though they knew that Tu Fu said such words on purpose to irritate them.

But when I think about it carefully, the more I think about it, the more I feel unconvinced.

It is the young men and women who are eighteen or nineteen years old, no matter how humble they are, they are the strongest age.

No matter who you meet, you will be talked about whose son and daughter it is, not their names.

Every time I want to do something to prove myself, but there is a father taller than the mountain above my head, the arrogance in my heart is naturally dispelled.

Clan Sollens looked at Tu Fu, and suddenly thought of the opponent's achievements. After thinking about it, he felt that there was still hope for the game, so he immediately changed his words:
"I take back what I just said. It doesn't matter whether it's about the king or not. We just have to be ourselves. I wonder what Miss Weimar thinks?"

"I will be in charge of the poetry assessment of the Challenge Cup."

When the gazes of the remaining three turned to the young lady of the duke's family at the same time, Eileen also nodded slightly, making a heart-stopping and sweet sound.

Looking at everyone's reactions, which are completely different from the indifferent one just now, they are obviously full of positivity and enthusiasm at the moment.

Only then did Tu Fu suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

Mida's face?
Family glory?

personal dignity?
In fact, those things just mentioned are really not worth mentioning to him, and Tu Fu has never paid attention to these false names.

more importantly,
Nothing is bigger than a hundred thousand crowns!
