【National University*】

[Required reputation: 24000 points]

[Scholars are the sons of the prophets.The Prophet did not leave any wealth in the world, but passed on valuable knowledge to future generations. —Musnaid al-Bazar]

The familiar interface unfolded in front of Zhang Yan's eyes. This time, the previously blocked information finally appeared in front of Zhang Yan's eyes.

Looking at the blueprint of the National University in the system, which was quite expensive, even faintly reaching twice the price of the normal purple epic wonder, Zhang Yan paid and bought it without hesitation.

There is no doubt that since it is a blueprint that requires additional permissions to be purchased, the significance of this blueprint must be far greater than ordinary wonders.

That being the case, if Zhang Yan didn't buy the permission to purchase it so hard, would it be meaningless to start?

Chapter 40 Spectacle beautification mod bushi

【Miracle of Civilization: National Central University*】

[Rank: Special Epic]

【Building Function: Institute of Higher Education】

[Architectural Effects: Lujiang population attractiveness increases moderately, scribes attractiveness increases moderately, basic quality of Lujiang population greatly improves, rebellion risk increases slightly]

[Comment: School is certainly not the only place to cultivate talents, but young people in their school days should make full use of the school's environment and equipment to forge themselves into something. ——Leader of the New Culture Movement, Pioneer of Vernacular Chinese, Candidate Doctor, Mr. Hu who loves his wife]

Compared with all the previous wonders, more exquisite blueprints appeared in Zhang Yan's hands. Since he already had enough reputation points this time, in order to avoid the dilemma of "unacceptable" wonders like before, This time Zhang Yan directly chose to let the system directly help him modify the style of the building to a style suitable for China's native buildings when he exchanged it.

Of course, as a price, he also paid a lot of fame for this.

It's just that these efforts are obviously worthwhile. Although Zhang Yan has not yet experienced the difference between this blueprint and the previous ones, Zhang Yan can tell from the changes in the name and evaluation that this blueprint is obviously from An exotic building full of Islamic-style mysticism has become a little more like the Republic of China.

……

"So, the national university has become the National Central University, and the evaluation language has changed from an Islamic scholar's famous quote to Hu Shi?"

Subconsciously muttering something, Zhang Yan saw that no one around him noticed the strangeness on his side, so he looked at the blueprint in his hand with confidence.

It's just that in a place he didn't see, at the library gate facing directly below the window, the old man who was stopped trembled as if he suddenly felt something, then turned around and glanced at the place where he was. .

"Hey, is this the method of turning the world upside down?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhang Jiao is dead, and that old guy Zuo Ci is hiding from the world. I didn't expect to meet the third brother and meet a new fellow Daoist!"

……

Leaving aside the somewhat dejected old man looking in Zhang Yan's direction with a look of surprise on his face, Zhang Yan is currently immersed in the blueprint in his hand.

There is no surprise, just as he imagined before, the follow-up reward of this big library is indeed a special purchase permission for the construction blueprint of the wonder, and even this wonder is an epic building of the purple level, which makes Zhang Yan feel distressed. And some are envious of the effect of this building.

But before he noticed what was in that series of effects, the four big words "Miracle of Civilization" had already fascinated his eyes.

What a miracle of civilization again!

Shaking his head dumbfounded, Zhang Yan covered his eyes and put the blueprint on the table.

Speaking of which, since he started to build wonders, whether they were successfully built or not, the proportion of civilization miracles is quite large.

In contrast, not to mention Machu Picchu and other wonders built on the basis of the natural environment, he has not even seen a few normal megastructures.

If it is full of calculations, it seems that only the first wonder he built: the white marble giant equatorial sundial and the unbuilt Venetian armory are serious giant buildings.

If it hadn't been for a secret confirmation with the system, knowing that the unbelievably magnificent city wall to the north is an unfinished golden legend-level megastructure, and it can even be called the leader of all megastructures, Zhang Yan would even It is necessary to think that all the giant structures are ordinary low-level buildings, and the higher-level buildings are all miracles of civilization.

You must know that the miracle of civilization is good. Although the mission rewards are generous and the wonder bonus is obvious, compared to other buildings, the miracle of civilization is almost the most difficult to build among all the wonders of the same level.

Megastructures of the same level are relatively simple and straightforward. Although the construction cost is huge, if the difficulty is low, the construction success rate and system score for Zhang Yan will be much higher.

Zhang Yan, who already knew that the system would give him more system functions after completing a certain level of wonders for the first time, was naturally full of thoughts on how to get all the system functions rewarded by the four levels of wonders first.

As for the cost... For him who now owns four cities and one place, and has nearly a million people under his control, the cost is no longer a simple accumulation of money, but the superposition and consumption of time.

After calming down his mood, Zhang Yan picked up the blueprint on the table again and began to read it carefully.

In a literal sense, the national university before the system is likely to refer to the Sankore University located in the Mali Empire in West Africa in the Middle Ages. It was also the first real institution of higher learning in Africa and even in the entire world.

Jixia Academy does not count.

In that century, the center of the entire Islamic culture was concentrated in the Mali Empire, within the University of Sankore.

As a gift of this university, whether it is the religion, etiquette or some metaphysical knowledge at that time, they all bloomed and sprouted in that dry land, and continuously nourished the surrounding culture.

In a sense, it can be said that Sankore University is a treasure that the entire human civilization fell in love with before industrialization. Even Zhang Yan could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart and wanted to reproduce it in his own territory. That exotic scene.

But now, for the sake of being conservative and reducing the difficulty of building the spectacle, Zhang Yan spent a lot of money on a "beautification mod" for the National University. The original National University was renamed "National Central University". He, who was studying in one of the schools, suddenly felt excited, and at the same time thought of some past events.

……

"National Central University, shouldn't it be the National Central University that beat Qingbei and kicked it?"

"Is this really something I can play with a small amount of krypton gold?"

"The promised skin doesn't affect the strength..."

……

A drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead. After repeatedly confirming the blueprint of the main building of the school he was studying at, Zhang Yan finally confirmed that the so-called National Central University was developed from the Sanjiang Normal School. Come, the terrifying world-class university that has defeated Fuso University of Tokyo several times in history and became the number one university in Asia.

Perhaps from the perspective of historical period and long distance, Sankore University is in a state of extreme crushing of National Central University in this respect.

Whether it is an institution that has been established for hundreds of years or the title of the world's first institution of higher learning, Sankore University is as high as the "crown" among the world's institutions of higher learning.

But from another perspective, that is, from the perspective of real hard power, the National Central University is so much stronger than the Sankore National University.

For example, the Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania, are they strong enough?

It can be said that in front of these schools, Kranik Sankore University is just a frog sitting in the mosque and watching the sky.

However, the National Central University in its heyday was really able to compete with the Ivy League overlords in terms of academic strength and international influence.

If Sankore University is the center of the entire Islamic culture, then the National Central University in the early and mid-twentieth century was the center of the entire Pan-Chinese cultural circle, and even the entire East Asian culture.

PS: Well, I don’t know if the university that boasted about Jinling this time is a bit overblown, but the National Central University is really good. The author was also a student of Xiamafang Royal Air-conditioned Milk Delivery University before, and occasionally Going next door to Xiaolingwei to set off fireworks and play at the university is flooded every day. I really have affection for National Central University.

In that era, especially under that very decadent regime, it was really not easy to have such a cultural treasure.

Think about it carefully, even if it is the eight direct descendants that were dismantled (Nanjing University, Southeast University, Nanjing Agricultural University, Jiangnan University, Nanjing Normal University, Jiangsu University, Nanjing University of Technology, and Nanjing Forestry University), the worst is now It is also a key construction university in the province. The rest of the people go to 8 everywhere. Double first-class is not as good as a dog... It is not a 211. I am really embarrassed to earn myself as the orthodox successor...

I hope everyone will not criticize me as a gc traitor because of this...

Chapter 41 Blast Furnace Ironmaking

[Do you want to start the current wonder construction task? 】

While Zhang Yan was still feeling emotional, the voice of the system appeared at the right time, interrupting him from his thoughts.

And Zhang Yan also came back to his senses, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and rejected the system's suggestion.

"No, forget it, the purple epic building is still too difficult, and the success is really worrying."

"Wait until I've been thinking about it for a while."

After fighting emotion and reason for a while, reason finally prevailed.

Even though Zhang Yan has a deep affection for the National University, it is also a purple epic building. It is a spectacle on the same level as the Great Pyramid or the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The difficulty of construction is not what the current Lujiang River can support. started.

Not to mention, this national university is still a miracle of civilization among the purple buildings, and it is a special building, so the difficulty of construction may be even higher.

Because of this, Zhang Yan put away the blueprint without much hesitation, planning to look at other rewards in the system first.

If he remembers correctly just now, the reputation value rewarded by the system has already arrived, and he has already used the permission to purchase blueprints that was previously released.

It's just that in addition to the reward for the successful completion of the large library, he also has the reward for completing the rare level wonder for the first time. Even if it is not too expensive, it is better than nothing.

For example, the Venetian armory blueprint that was rewarded to him for the first time to build a common-level wonder, even though he still has no coastal territory and therefore still does not use it, but as long as he has a chance to get the estuary in the future, this wonder is still very important to him. helpful.

Along with his thought, soon, the previous system prompt interface was quickly folded, and the new reward was quickly realized in his hands.

"A blueprint again?"

Glancing at the cover of the reward, Zhang Yan frowned for the first time, thinking that the system would not reward him with anything other than various blueprints.

But soon, he discovered that what was recorded in the information was not the construction method of the spectacle, but something else.

This finally made him feel a little more interesting.

……

"Blast furnace metal smelting... and the construction method of a simple blast furnace?"

Slowly reading out the name of the document, Zhang Yan frowned first, and then felt a rush of joy.

"This turned out to be the technical data of the blast furnace iron smelting method?!"

"Huaxia's weak pig iron production has finally been saved!"

With a sudden slap on the table, Zhang Yan suddenly stood up from the table.

But soon, when he noticed that many people around him turned their heads and glared at him, and many staff members in the distance began to probe, as if annoyed that he had disturbed his tranquility, Zhang Yan realized that he was not in the official office now. , but in a quiet library.

A little embarrassed, he folded his hands together and bowed to the people next to him. Zhang Yan sat down obediently before these people recognized him, and carefully looked through the information in his hand about smelting, especially the two main metals, copper and iron. Smelting work.

The tourists around saw that he was dressed in luxurious clothes, he seemed to be the son of some wealthy family, and he looked a bit difficult to mess with, but they didn't pursue him too much, but turned around and ignored him.

After a while, the library was quiet again.

"Blast furnace iron... blast furnace iron..."

"Have it!"

This time, Zhang Yan, who had improved his memory in advance, did not sigh again, but whispered something in his heart.

Sure enough, in that document, the method of blast furnace ironmaking and a series of huge advantages of blast furnace ironmaking are being recorded in detail.

It should be known that since ancient times, the industrial smelting of iron has only been divided into two types. One of them is the common direct reduction method, that is, iron ore and carbon are co-located at high temperature until the iron ore is reduced to Elemental iron.

The advantage of this is that the reaction environment is relatively simple and the reaction requirements are relatively low, but similarly, in such an industrial production method, its shortcomings are also obvious.

That's yield.

It would be fine if it was only small-scale production and smelting. Once large-scale smelting is required, the output of this smelting method will become the biggest drawback of iron making.
