Chapter 126 Professors of Royal Langton University
The launch of the airship became a carnival and celebration. From the Royal Dockyard to downtown Langton, countless people chased the silver-gray ship in the sky The figure of the giant ship cheered and shouted loudly. Although they themselves did not know what they were cheering for, this did not prevent them from participating in this grand event.
The airship's maiden voyage was from the Royal Dockyard to Langton City. Because of concerns about any problems with the new ship, it maintained a very low flying altitude.
In this era, there is no need to worry about the airship hitting any obstacles in the sky, and the large size of the airship is enough to ensure that even if it hits a bird or the like, it will not hit it. What damage is caused.
And this undoubtedly gives those who are chasing the airship an excellent opportunity. They can chase this huge beast to their heart's content and enjoy its shocking figure.
Then a strange sight appeared on the road from the Royal Dockyard to Longton City.
A huge airship is clearing the way in the sky, and there are countless carriages and horseback riders on the ground, as well as people running and chasing. Together they form a torrent rushing towards Langton City, and there are constant waves along the way. Some people were attracted by it and also joined the chasing team.
This spectacular sight is definitely not an exaggeration to describe as empty of people. It can even be said that the number of people chasing behind the airship at this moment is definitely more than 10,000.
And as the airship gets closer to Langton, more and more people are chasing below the airship.
This even caused serious riots and traffic jams for a time. While the police department of Langton City was overwhelmed, they had to urgently request the support of the city guard to send troops to maintain order.
Finally, when the airship flew over the Royal Langton University, almost half of the people in Langton City poured into the streets, trying to watch how this behemoth landed.
However, to their disappointment, the airship did not land directly, but was moored at the clock tower of Royal Langton University.
But this also allowed onlookers around Royal Langton University to finally appreciate the largest aircraft in human history.
Although it no longer holds the title of being the first human aircraft, in the hearts of the vast majority of Langton citizens, it is the number one in the world. After all, none of the people seen by Perfectcott's airship not much.
This also caused serious traffic jams around Royal Langton University. Those who couldn't get a good seat even climbed onto the roofs of the buildings, and it was like a crowd flooding these blocks for a while.
In the end, the Langton police and city guards deployed in full force failed, and it was not until the evening that the riot was finally quelled.
But the destruction and casualties caused by the riot in Langton made the municipal department feel like crying.
Compared with the municipal departments that only suffered unreasonable disasters, the experiences of another group of people can be said to be self-inflicted.
Before the airship had not approached Royal Langton University and could only see it from a distance, professors from the Alchemy Department of Royal Langton University gathered in front of a tall building and looked at the silver ship. The gray airship gradually approached with an ugly expression.
"It's all your fault! Why did you agree with the board of directors to oppose her becoming a professor in the Alchemy Department? If she had been allowed to teach, we should be on that airship now instead of standing here just watching Come on!" An elderly professor was blowing his beard and staring. Obviously, in the opinion of this old professor, if they had approved Perficott's application to teach at Royal Langton University, then they should have the honor of designing and manufacturing the first aircraft in human history. One serving.
However, due to gender discrimination by the school board when Purficott was applying for professors, these old professors missed the opportunity to participate in the design of the airship.
Now, the reason why they are beating their chests and feeling regretful is precisely because they missed a great honor.
At this moment, these old professors are all cursing the wrong choice made by the school board, and they are also complaining about the people who voted against it under the influence of the school board.
Especially among the team, a middle-aged professor standing alone with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot was even more shrinking and did not dare to say anything.
Because he was the guy who took away Perficott's teaching position. At that time, he was also the one who secretly found some connections to get through these old professors and let them choose him instead of Perficott.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, Purficott was just a little girl. No matter how talented she was, what threat could she pose to the academic authority and reputation of Royal Langton University?
Then they saw this airship that attracted crowds of people, and they felt a big crisp slap on their faces, which crackled with the cheers of the onlookers.
"What's the use of talking about this now! Let's find a way to repair the relationship with the Earl of the North as soon as possible!" Another professor took the initiative to speak. He had a good relationship with Perficott, so Take the initiative to say nice things.
Several other professors looked at each other. They also participated in the meeting when Purficott came last time. They didn't have much favorable impressions of Perficott, but they wouldn't deliberately target him.
Therefore, after seeing someone offer to cooperate, one of them also said: "In this case, how do we repair the relationship with the Earl? She is only fourteen years old, younger than my granddaughter, do we need to coax her? A child?"
"It would be the biggest mistake to treat her as a child!" Another professor shook his head and then said: "Look at this airship! Can you design such a thing? She is a genius, the most talented alchemist in Langton's history!
Not to mention the airship, how can any of you even make a steam knight armor? Similar inventions?
She has already proven with her actual actions that she is a genius, a worthy master of alchemy, and a being that is more outstanding and greater than you. Admit it. It’s not embarrassing!”
“But what if we admit that she is better than us? It’s easy to apologize to her. It’s just a matter of face. We are already our age, right? It is not shameful for a little girl to bow her head." A professor who seemed very open-minded agreed, but he also raised a crucial question: "But how can we ease the relationship with Earl Brandlis?"
"When Earl Brandlis came to the school before, he commissioned us to develop cold-resistant materials for the Arctic scientific expedition plan. Maybe we can do something about this?" Another professor suddenly came up with an idea.
The other professors looked at each other, but in the end they did not raise any objections.
