Lin directly used the geometric method of dividing circles and astronomical observations to explain. In a few sentences, he explained the reason for the twenty-four hours, sixty minutes, and sixty seconds.
If someone was a little stupid, their brain might not be able to understand. But Juan Javier's reaction was the same as Fen's. After seeing the geometric drawing of circles once, he quickly understood the reason for the design. But what he did not understand was why such a detailed unit of time was needed.
"When the sun rises, it is morning. When the sun is at its brightest and hottest, it is noon. After noon, before the sun sets, it is afternoon, and then night. Is it necessary to divide time into minutes and seconds? "
Yes, was it necessary?
Before technology could advance, there must first be needs. Because there were needs, people used their brains to think of solutions, and then the advancement of technology, even if it was just a small step. And in this small step of continuous accumulation, the progress of civilization separated humans from animals.
On the other hand, when there was no need, no matter how good something was, it was useless. Ordinary farmers did not have the need to go to space, so instead of throwing a space shuttle to them, they might as well give them a tiller.
For most people in the mysterious land at this stage, too detailed a unit of time was meaningless. However, Lin shrugged and said, "That's why I didn't announce it to the public. It's just a piece of my research on astrology." The division of time on Earth also originated from astronomy. So this reason was enough to explain why such a problem existed.
Although astronomical astrology was classified as the field of astrologers, it was an unavoidable part of learning prophecy magic. So Juan Javier also had some understanding of this part, but he did not put too much effort into it.
But this also made him understand the basis for Lin's fifty minutes of class and ten minutes of rest. However, Juan Javier didn't understand the purpose of this. Anyway, to him, a day was the 'fifty minutes' that Lin said to teach the group of children, and the rest was his own time. When he was free, he could ask questions about Language P. That was enough.
However, this so-called free time did not mean that Hu An could pull Lin Sanjiu down and ask her about Language P when he was free. Both of them had to be free. This Great Magician wasn't so self-centered that everyone had to cooperate with him. A certain man who had just installed a large electronic clock ran to the clock tower without stopping to set the timer.
The clock was static. If one didn't look at it, they wouldn't know the time. However, the clock set on the outer wall could only be seen by the people in the courtyard. What about the people in the house? Because there was a clock tower at the top of the central projection of the house. Although the main function of this mansion was to live in, the stone castle itself had the function of defending against external enemies. As a means of warning, the alarm bell was naturally indispensable.
There were many ways to automatically ring the bell in the Mystic Land. In the 21st century on Earth, robots were still in a relatively primitive era. The T-850 Terminator only existed in movies. In the Labyrinth World, magic puppets weren't everywhere, but it wasn't a rare technology.
If he could make magic puppets, how could he not have some simple automation methods? The only difference was that the Lost Land did not have time technology, so it could not be set automatically.
However, this kind of understanding only existed in the Magician community. Ordinary people, even nobles, had to expend manpower in order to make things go smoothly.
And since a certain someone was a Great Magician, there was no need to use manpower to ring the bell.
Lin directly used magic puppet technology and magic materials to make a lever above the hanging bell. Using a Red Glow grade magic stone, other than being the terminal of the time server and the program to control the automatic lever, it was also used as a carrier to provide energy. Because it wasn't a continuous action, but an intermittent action, in theory, the Red Glow grade magic stone's natural recovery should be enough to cope with the consumption and become a semi-permanent automatic mechanism.
As for the set time, it was set to ring the bell at a fixed hour. Three rings during the day and one ring at night. On days when there were classes, the three classes in the morning would start on the hour. There was no need to set another time. However, after 50 minutes, the bell would ring for the end of the class. There were also some special bell signals. For example, three rings meant a fire, and three rapid rings meant an enemy attack.
Unfortunately, there was no way to set and control it remotely. Because in the maze world, other than the energy pool of the Magic Tower that had an IP address mark, other devices didn't have similar marks to communicate with each other. Unless the distance was close enough, they could use the maze version of Lan Ya Connection, which was the means of communication through Lin Hefen's glasses.
By the time the automatic lever was properly adjusted, it was already close to noon. The people in the maze had two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. But between the two meals, they would eat when they were hungry. The time wasn't fixed. Of course, this was when there was food to eat.
Considering that military training required a regular lifestyle and sufficient nutrition, Lin You had ordered people to provide lunch since the academy was opened, but not any snacks that could temporarily fill one's hunger.
And these children were probably afraid of being poor, so as long as there was food to eat, they would stuff it into their mouths until they couldn't eat anymore. In the two weeks or so here, although they had to clean the house, tidy up the environment, and other chores, some of the gluttonous children showed signs of growing into little fatties. This made Lin determined to help them lose weight. Those who had never been fat really didn't understand the difficulties of being fat.
For lunch, Juan Javier and his students didn't seem to be used to it. However, they still obeyed and followed the crowd to the restaurant to eat something. Of course, one of the purposes was to taste the cooking skills of the chefs here, so that they could decide whether to follow the crowd and eat from the same pot in the future, or to have their own room to cook.
Breakfast and lunch were prepared by the dorm head, Mrs. Du Li. It was just washing vegetables, peeling, and other relatively simple tasks. She would find some children to help, and everyone would take turns. The taste wasn't particularly amazing. It was just a home-cooked meal, so it wasn't so bad that they couldn't eat it.
Of course, Lin missed the eight major cuisines of his hometown, noodles, sushi, sweet and spicy, and so on. But he only knew how to eat, not how to cook. Every time he tried to make the taste of his hometown, it was actually very different from the taste in his memory. Rather than saying that it was delicious, it was better to say that it was a feeling of self-deception. So he had no right to comment on other people's cooking skills.
On the other hand, the two girls' cooking skills had improved a lot since they were first apprentices. Because to his own people, Lin's criticism was merciless. Fortunately, he didn't scold for the sake of scolding. If it was too salty, too light, and too oily, he could still say five, four, or three percent of the criticism. So under the stimulation of external pressure, whether it was Kaya or Halloumi, their cooking skills had to improve.
In the afternoon, in addition to John Goodman, Eli Huber also showed up. The fat man, who was very friendly, had a smile on his face. He stuck close to Grand Magician Juan Javier and introduced himself. At the same time, he launched a mental attack.
If it was Lin who received this attack, it would definitely be another magnificent defeat. But as the man of the era, Juan Javier, who was used to fighting in various social situations, how could he be afraid of someone like the fat man? With a few words, he received the attack and took control of the conversation. If it weren't for the fact that they would be colleagues for a period of time in the future, he might have even killed the fat man.
Since the two magicians who became academy teachers had appeared, Lin took advantage of this time to decide the division of labor between the three of them, including Lin himself. Before this, Lin first sent a message to the North Tower of Wulian City, which was to stop the recruitment of teachers for the academy.
In the situation of a class, three teachers, three courses were already a lot. If the scale was to expand in the future, he would consider the issue of increasing the number of people. The three courses were the main course of magic, the miscellaneous course, and Lin's personal knowledge from Earth.
The main course of magic was apprentice-level magic from the first to third circle, a total of 69 types. The miscellaneous course included but was not limited to pharmaceutical, smelting, forging, construction, enchantment, magic array, and magic tower. As an independent knowledge of magic tower, it should be regarded as the general knowledge of magic tower. The basic layout and cognition, structure and combination also included the knowledge of building materials, costs, taboos, and so on.
Lin's personal knowledge from Earth was needless to say. His purpose was still to cultivate more programmers. Looking at the fresh livers, a certain someone wanted to try the taste of being a sweatshop owner.
As for the allocation of the main course and miscellaneous course … "So I personally think that the main course will be taught by Mr. Eli Huber, and the miscellaneous course will be taught by Grand Magician Juan Javier."
The two mages with different identities looked at the person who assigned the work without authorization with a puzzled expression. Of course, Lin knew that he was not qualified to make such a decision without giving an explanation, so he said, "The miscellaneous course needs profound knowledge, as well as enough knowledge and experience. In the degree of erudition, I believe that Grand Magician Javier is far superior to Mr. Eli. "
In the face of such a comment, the fatty shrugged and had nothing to refute. To become a Grand Magician, one must first have a reputation, and the hidden condition was to have a wide range of friends and be knowledgeable. What's more, the other party had obtained the title of Grand Magician at a young age, not relying on the mere 69 apprentice-level magic. There must be something more outstanding to be able to get the recognition of most people. Of course, in terms of knowledge, there was nothing to say.
Lin temporarily had no time to care about the psychological changes of the two mages and continued, "As for the main course, because I will only teach apprentice-level magic, the foundation of this knowledge is based on the standards provided by the Association. I believe that with Eli's eloquence and kindness, he will be able to guide this group of children and quickly get into the situation. "
