Latest URL: The time has come soon, the last day of April is also the final display day of the Tower of Time Steam Locomotive Design Competition.

This morning, just after dawn, [Big Xia-Saville Passage] was crowded with spectators on both sides. Of course, only the two ends of this avenue were like this, and the closer to the middle, the fewer people there were.

After all, this road is more than 20 Xinli!

The southernmost end of the road is the Codex Square in Daxialing. From here, it extends straight to the north. The main venue of the locomotive design competition is set on the Codex Square.

Security guards in orange uniforms wandered among the crowd, maintaining order at all times, and kept reminding those who were calling their sons or neighbors' names to calm down a little.

Thanks to the long-standing order and norms of the Great Xia Territory, although the leaders are in high spirits, they still respect the most basic order of participation stipulated in the method of organizing large-scale activities in the Territory, and they have truly achieved trouble without chaos.

Tower of Time.

Xia Duo and Niya stood in front of the projection window, quietly watching the lively scene in Codex Square, but their hearts were not as calm as they showed.

Especially Xia Duo, at this moment, he couldn't help but regret not discovering the steam engine in advance, and arranging the game in advance, or not extending the time of the game.

The steam locomotive design competition is said to be only for members of the Tower of Time to participate, but in fact, it is not necessarily impossible for the people of the territory to participate.

After all, the competition is more about testing the mechanical design ability of the contestants. Ordinary people may not be inferior to spellcasters. Many things are learned from life.

Especially those blacksmiths, who have been engaged in blacksmithing for half their lives, no matter what, they will know more about mechanical design than half-grown children.

This time the competition is already like this, Xia Duo decided to notify at least half a year in advance from the next one, and allow the contestants to invite members of the territory to participate together.

Whether it is bringing parents and family to experience the fun of the magical world, or finding a more professional person to hit the rankings, it will be a rare experience for the members of the Tower of Time.

Of course, for Xia Duo, this kind of competition can also promote the continuous melting of the gap between the territory's spellcasters and non-spellcasters.

What ordinary people are most afraid of is not how strong the caster is, but that they will not be able to participate at all. The sense of participation is very important.

And for spellcasters, to some extent, they don't care how weak ordinary people are, but what use ordinary people are.

When the magic civilization has not yet developed into the mages of the whole people, let these two groups have frequent contact, understand each other, and establish identity, so that there will be no serious separation of social classes.

Coupled with the popularization of magic, allowing more spellcasters to appear among ordinary people and allowing ordinary people to have more access to the magical world is the only way for magic civilization.

Just as he was thinking, the real-time projection on the projection window changed immediately, and the crowd's jubilant enthusiasm rose again. Xia Duo knew what happened at a glance, and then adjusted the viewing angle of the projection window.

At the southeast corner of the Codex Square, all the contestants have lined up in exquisite gowns and walked out of the portal, waving to the boiling crowd on both sides as they walked.

Coming out behind them were other members of the Tower of Time who did not participate in the competition. Some apprentices still stayed in the floating city to make up their homework, but most of the official mages appeared here.

Seeing this scene, Niya walked to Xia Duo and said softly, "It's almost time, let's go there!"

"Um."

Xia Duo straightened his clothes and stretched out an arm to Niya. Niya obediently took Xia Duo's arm, and then the two teleported to Hengchun Square in the floating city, and then went directly to Codex Square from the portal on Hengchun Square .

…

When Xia Duo and Niya walked out of the portal, the surrounding voices gradually became quieter, but then more enthusiastic shouts broke out.

"My lord" and "Mrs. Niya" can be heard all the time, and occasionally there are some sharp voices from the Tower of Time mages who are giving children's innocence education in the territory and the magic affairs officers who have already served in the territory. But they are more called "guildmaster", even those magic affairs officers are no exception.

Xia Duo and Niya walked along the road separated by the crowd, and waved to the crowd as they walked. When they reached the sculpture of the Codex in the center of the square, Xia Duo saw Leiden who had been waiting for a long time here, and he nodded to Leiden , the other party immediately joined his team.

On the way to the north end of the square, Xia Duo also noticed Gibb standing in front of the crowd in casual clothes. He also nodded, but Gibb did not join his team.

After all, no matter how lawful it is, it is a large-scale event involving tens of thousands of people, and no matter how cautious it is, Gibb will always stay at the scene and keep an eye on the situation.

As for the other chief officers in the territory, they also have their own tasks, such as the logistics department. If there are so many people gathered here, if they faint or have other emergencies, they need to mobilize the airship immediately to pick them up and arrange for treatment.

It is not once or twice that Daxialing holds large-scale events. With Xia Duo's special instructions, it is possible to mix up experience, let alone consciously summarize and learn.

…

At the northern end of the square, the enthusiastic leaders had already squeezed into the two sides of the [Great Xia-Saville Leading Passage]. Of course, they had completely "no offense" to the pre-designated competition area.

"The citizens of Daxia, the students of the Tower of Time, welcome to the site of the first Steam Locomotive Design Competition of the Tower of Time, and look forward to the performance of all contestants!"

Xia Duo made a simple opening remark, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com handed over the scene to the real host——Xia Duo's old friend, Dean of the Five-member Committee of the Academy.

While Dean was introducing the players and rules of the competition to the audience, Xia Duo secretly drove the floating city to activate the war spell [wide-area prohibition].

Of course, this is not aimed at anyone, but to "condense" the track that was almost endless at a glance. While retaining the original appearance, some fine-tuning of the spatial structure is made.

This enables the [Great Xia-Saville Collar Channel], that is, the audience at both ends of the track of this competition, to be able to clearly watch the whole process, similar to the live broadcast display screen on the earth.

It's just that what Xia Duo let the audience see here is not the broadcast, but the real situation of the contestants. From the eyes of the audience to the figures of the contestants they see, the space between them is continuous.

After Xia Duo finished all this, many people have noticed that at the northern end of the track at Savile Collar, the crowd that was originally a blurry shadow has somehow become clear, and some people with better eyesight can even see that side clearly Expressions on people's faces.
