Chapter 552: Chapter 92Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
All the time, Sui Xiong had felt that the New Oriental Comprehensive Technical School in Void City was unworthy of its name. Its name was a technical school, so it should be a school for technical training. However, in the school he started, students learned about culture, science, accountancy and calculation, herbal medicine and cooking. However, no one could teach the students mechanical engineering and mining.
In the technical schools on Earth, students could take the basic courses, such as how to be lathe and bench workers. In Lanxiang, a famous technical school in China, students took more difficult courses. Students could learn about car operation, car repairing and building. There were all kinds of construction machinery courses like excavating, bulldozing and paving. That was a technical school!
Sui Xiong was not dissatisfied with the achievements of his own New Oriental, a “cheap copy” of the New Oriental Comprehensive Technical School. However, without mechanical majors, he felt that this technical school was incomplete and lacked vital content.
Now, with the arrival of these craftsmen and technicians from the Kingdom of Dwarfs, he could finally make up for this deficiency!
“What? The work a.s.signed to us by the Void Mask is… to be teachers?!” Hara Hill said. He was the leader of the group of dwarf craftsmen and technicians and the younger brother of the king of the contemporary Kingdom of Dwarfs. He was stunned and looked at Liv Parne with a confused look. Liv was conveying the command to them. Hara asked again, “Who will be the students?”
Liv had just married recently. She was not young and reckless like the time when she had first met Sui Xiong, Leon and Steele. She was now calm and virtuous, and she was full of heroism because of her long-time adventures. Her eyes looked like her mother’s, Madame Teague, but her temperament was vaguely like her father, Knight Parne. Seeing the confused st.u.r.dy dwarf in front of her, she smiled softly and then explained it in detail.
After her explanation, Hara Hill was even more confused.
He was an excellent blacksmith and an excellent miner. He was also a master of manufacturing and machinery maintaining. He was a brave Sacred Warrior, a descendant of the King of Hills.
However, he was never a teacher.
Well, in dwarf society, how did a teacher teach his students? Hara tried to recall that. First, he would need to get a wooden stick that was thick and firm enough. Then he would need to prepare a lot of wine.
After these two things were ready, he would go to work with the little guys who wanted to learn his skills. If they did well, he would give them wine. If they didn’t do well, he would hit them with the wooden stick.
Hara looked at his hands with a guilty conscience.
His hands had super strength. When they were holding a s.h.i.+eld, Hara could resist a charge launched by a demon beast that was as tall as four or five people. When his hands were holding an axe, Hara could cut a heavily armored warrior in half.
If I use a wooden stick to hit the weak humans who don’t wear armor… I will kill them. Definitely!
Obviously, the traditional education model of the dwarfs that he knew was definitely not suitable for this place.
So, how should he be a teacher? So difficult!
Therefore, Hara asked, frowning, “Is there any other work that suits me? I am such a powerful Sacred Warrior. It is a waste to ask me to be a teacher.”
“Because you are so powerful, you have to be our teacher,” Liv said with a smile. “Correctly speaking, we want to invite you to be the vice president of our technical school. You will be responsible for mechanical engineering and mining courses. Of course, you also need to teach the elite cla.s.s.”
“But I really don’t know how to teach humans…”
“No one was born knowing everything. Compared to others, at least you are more capable. Your starting point is a lot higher than that of others,” Liv said. “Excuse me, among the craftsmen and technicians who come from afar, are you at the highest level and the best at technology?”
Hara nodded; Dwarfs didn’t know how to be modest.
“That’s right. If you can’t be the vice president, who else can?”
Hara was not good at talking. Hearing Liv’s words, he could only accept the result and honestly think about how to be a teacher.
The work of the Republic of Northwest was very efficient. In less than half a month, new school buildings were built. To supplement their education, Sui Xiong created a mining pit for them. The pit was built according to a real mine pit; the ground, stones, and the vein were all built the same way.
For that, he even used his extraordinary Divine Power technique, “Shaping All Things”—the cost was high.
This man-made mine pit had been well received by the dwarf teachers. Everyone said that with such good conditions, at least in mining and mineral processing, they could certainly teach well.
In contrast, in the field of mechanical engineering and forging, Sui Xiong couldn’t give them much help. He provided them with high-quality forging furnaces and various tools, but besides that, he really couldn’t help much.
He wanted to produce all kinds of machine tools that existed on Earth. Even if he could only produce the simplest ones, it would be good. However, in these fields, he knew nothing. He didn’t know about the structures of machine tools. Even if various machine tools were put in front of him, he wouldn’t be able to recognize them.
In painting, sculpture, costume design, building construction, interior design, and even antique identification, Sui Xiong could be regarded as an expert. However, in industry, he really knew nothing.
For example, if a chemist went to plant a field of vegetables, he would not be able to do anything. It would be better to find an old farmer to do it.
Fortunately, the dwarfs were experts. Even the youngest one had been engaged in blacksmith or mining for more than 40 years. For them, these tools were enough.
After practicing, the dwarf teachers determined that all the necessary things were prepared. They could recruit students now.
In fact, most of them were still a little worried. They worried that they might mislead and cause harm to the young men. But they didn’t need to be worried. In general, most people who had such worries would not mislead the young men.
The New Oriental Technical School built a new campus to teach techniques such as forging and mining. This admission notice was quickly spread throughout the Republic of Northwest and also to nearby countries.
Soon after, people who were interested came to the New Oriental Technical School.
Because these courses would be hard and dangerous, the tuition was much lower. It was basically equivalent to being free of charge. The New Oriental Technical School even offered accommodation.
However, after the completion of the courses, the students had to work for the Republic of Northwest for five years before they left. Of course, they would get paid during these five years.
Such conditions could only be considered as so-so in Sui Xiong’s mind. However, for the people in this world, it was beyond their imagination. There were many young people signing up, including a lot of Orcs.
To be correct—Half-Orcs.
Sui Xiong was very puzzled about this. Why did the Half-Orcs take the risk of being buried in the Gobi Desert to learn about technology in the Republic of Northwest? Were there any big moves being made in the Orc Empire?
Sui Xiong changed into his human appearance and went to the Orc Empire to find out the reasons. As a result, he found that he was completely wrong.
There were no big moves being made in the Orc Empire. These Half-Orcs who came to learn about technology really just wanted to learn some skills so that they could feed their family.
