Chapter 137 Continental Union 3
There was a burst of laughter in the lecture hall with 10,000 people in it.
Not only the nobles, but also many Ankang townspeople who had gathered outside the lecture hall and came to see him laughed.
Lin Muqiu narrowed his eyes in confusion, trying to find out who was speaking, but there were too many people in the audience, and each one was as small as an ant, making it impossible to see clearly.
Seeing this, Kedero in the audience trotted up to the podium and whispered in her ear: "It was Duke Alexander who was speaking just now."
"Oh, sorry."
Lin Muqiu apologized, "I've been a little shortsighted lately. There are so many people here, I thought they were my students. Tell me, what's going on?"
What the hell is this student?
Alexander almost blurted out the words but he held them back. He even suspected that Lin Muqiu was being sarcastic on purpose to avenge the humiliation he suffered at the Royal Capital Auction.
But he had to be graceful and not fall into Lin Muqiu's trap.
He straightened his clothes and continued to criticize, "The crisis on the mainland is getting worse. Recently..."
Before he could finish the sentence “His Majesty the King was imprisoned and tortured by you,” Lin Muqiu exclaimed in admiration, “As expected of the Duke of Central, your depth of thought is truly admirable!”
Alexander: ???
What do you admire about him?
"Please take a seat. I'm just about to talk about this."
Lin Muqiu picked up the microphone, not giving him a chance to respond. "Today, I want to talk to you about the Continental Union."
Alexander sneered and sat down.
Good, he seems to have seen something more interesting. Continental Union? Ha, ridiculous.
Perhaps the mainland can join forces briefly, but it is impossible to unite, this is a fact.
So he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Muqiu as if he was watching a fun event.
Lin Muqiu continued, "I know that most of you here don't believe in my abilities, but you were forced to join my camp due to various practical considerations."
Alexander, who was suddenly struck by the Yin and Yang again: "..."
No, are you sure you are not waiting for revenge?
Lin Muqiu really isn’t.
This was part of what she had wanted to say.
She glanced around and saw guilt and silence on the faces of many dukes and earls, and she knew that she had guessed right.
But she doesn't mind. "It's precisely this consideration of interests that makes cooperation possible. What I need to do is to solidify and deepen the foundation of this cooperation, and to make the connections between the major continents even closer."
Everyone present was slightly stunned, with expressions of astonishment on their faces. Good man, so honest? While his words were crude, the point was true, but directly saying "considering interests" was too...
Their ears turned redder and they quietly paid more attention to the venue.
Only Alexander scoffed. "Then why don't you tell me what to do? Who can't talk nonsense?"
Lin Muqiu pointed to the screen and said, "Please watch the VCR."
Suddenly, the classroom went dark and the screen lit up, blazing brightly.
Everyone: ???
The Magnum is also messier.
So Lin Muqiu chose to hold the event here, not out of any psychological manipulation, but simply because he thought it was convenient to give lectures here, right?
Huh? Is the truth that simple?
A cartoon played on the screen, using the most basic methods to help them understand natural disasters and their solutions: [Natural disasters are not incurable, but can be repaired and prevented.]
For example, the dust storm disaster in the south was actually caused by a hurricane. Based on this idea, we have two solutions.
1. Use the Continental Wind Magic Stone to dispel the hurricane.
2. Follow the flow and let the wind flow naturally.
[The first point can be used in conjunction with the Magic Stone Shop in Ankang Town. As for the second point, it can be extended to a second concept. That is... natural disasters are not only harmful, but can also be used to their advantage.]
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
What, natural disasters can be solved?
Is that so light?
Wait a minute, natural disasters can be exploited? Is that really that powerful?
It was beyond everyone's cognition, and everyone was writing furiously to record it, but only Magnum and Brent were concentrating, their hearts filled with excitement.
They were deeply affected by the sandstorm disaster, but they didn't expect Lin Muqiu to bring it up at the first time. Isn't that great!
In addition, they had previous experience of cooperation with Lin Muqiu, so their favorability towards Lin Muqiu reached its peak at this moment.
Look, this is the benefit of being on good terms with Lin Muqiu!
Looking at the proud look in the eyes of Brent, the general manager of his own chamber of commerce, Magnum twitched his lips.
I don’t know who was sighing and showing great distrust towards Lin Muqiu a few days ago?
The animation continues: [Actually, this requires some chemistry knowledge. Dust particles are rich in alkaline ions like calcium and magnesium, which can effectively neutralize acid rain, thereby suppressing acid rain disasters.]
"What is chemistry?"
The dukes present were taking notes, whispering to each other, their faces full of questions. They were about to ask, but suddenly realized that not understanding chemistry was their problem, not Lin Muqiu's!
The nobles who became their own pua were very excited, staring at the screen without blinking, and determined to go to the civilian college for further studies after class.
Although they didn't understand some of the professional terms, they still extracted the key information.
Sandstorms can control acid rain disasters!
In the past, the spring acid rain disaster was extremely terrifying. If it touched the townspeople, they would receive the [burning debuff], their skin would ulcerate, sting and turn red, and even many buildings would be corroded and receive the [reduced lifespan] debuff.
Who would have thought that the way to control natural disasters would actually arise from natural disasters.
Everyone was amazed.
Magnum and Brent were so excited that they didn't know what to say. Although the room was dark, they could still feel envious eyes coming from all directions.
They were so excited that they almost kowtowed to Lin Muqiu, but they pretended to be calm. "Yes, that's right. There are indeed fewer acid rain disasters in the south. I didn't expect it to be because of this."
Everyone hissed.
With Nanbu's personal confirmation, why wouldn't they believe it?!
Now, the man who once looked down upon the insignificant Southern China was having second thoughts. "Since sandstorms can affect acid rain disasters, I should make friends with the Southern China. Even if it costs money, I should get them to send me some sandstorms in the spring via hurricanes."
At this moment, Brent really wanted to sing a song of gratitude. Who would understand? In the past, the South was looked down upon by everyone because of the sandstorm problem, and it was also dragged down by many things. But now, the South is going to rise because of this!
It really is a changing world! Now let's see who dares to look down on the South!
They simply wanted to kiss Lin Muqiu!
Only Alexander looked extremely unhappy.
In the past, they disliked the sand and dust, and directly and angrily told the southern part to deal with it on its own and not to bring the wind and sand to the central part. Didn’t they expect that they were wrong?
Alexander's eyes turned and his eyebrows twitched.
He had an inexplicable premonition... This woman, Lin Muqiu, might really be able to unite the continent.
Many dukes are shrewd people. They are not moved at all by the words of chicken soup and blood sacrifice. They even feel irritated. Only interests are eternal.
However, Lin Muqiu grasped this point, which was equivalent to grasping their lifeline.
Only Ankang Town knows how to control natural disasters.
When it comes to chemistry, only Ankang Town understands it.
In order to restrain natural disasters and exchange interests, perhaps the mainland will really move towards unity rather than conquest.
Lin Muqiu might be able to do something that no one has ever done before.
Realizing this, he suddenly felt ten years older.
When young, I always think I am the most powerful. However, when I reach middle age and have accomplished nothing, I suddenly realize that there is always someone who can be gentle and youthful, but full of vigor and vitality, but that person is not him.
Time and again, he numbs himself with the anesthesia of alcohol and the passion/desire of his mistress, just to make himself appear less incompetent.
His eyes trembled slightly, and he looked at his wife Marissa through the dim light.
Marissa stared intently at the screen, her eyes filled with admiration and affection for Lin Muqiu. The screen continued to play, "It is precisely based on this consensus that we can see that there may be solutions to the continent's natural disasters, but we must make an indelible struggle for our survival."
【Regarding this, I have something else to say.】
Each continental plate has its own unique characteristics, allowing them to leverage natural disasters to influence each other. For example, the southern region, with its abundant sandstorms and long-lasting high temperatures due to its lower latitude, can actually collect energy to resist the extreme cold in the north. The same applies to the north.
Alexander's eyes flashed.
This means that there is a basis for cooperation between the South and the North.
It seems that Lin Muqiu came prepared and his lectures were very logical. He had just lured the south with the central, western and eastern regions to unite, and now he came to unite the north and south.
So who will Lin Muqiu join forces with next?
West, Central and East?
Sure enough, the screen continued, "For example, the West is prone to avalanches. This is actually due to the abundance of snow-capped mountains. However, avalanches can be controlled, and meltwater from glaciers is very effective for irrigating seeds and protecting them from natural disasters. This has been confirmed in the Plant Treasures in Ankang Town."
The dukes were filled with excitement and listened attentively.
Natural disasters are truly terrifying, and even if they are nobles, they are powerless to do anything.
No, it was precisely because they were nobles that they held natural disasters in such high regard. They possessed so much that they particularly did not want to lose it.
After all, in the face of natural disasters, "everyone is equal." Civilians will die, and nobles will die too.
And now, Lin Muqiu told them that these problems can be solved!
They must listen carefully!
They were waiting to hear about the solutions to natural disasters in their area with the same enthusiasm as elementary school students on their first day of school, but... the lights came on.
Everyone: ???
I'm about to take off my pants, and you're showing me this?
Lin Muqiu took the stage and said, "Everyone, do you understand? The continent must unite. After more than half a year, Ankang Town has already compiled a relatively complete and feasible solution. Going with the flow is always more reliable than going against the wind."
The nobles' eyes flashed.
Well, it sounds very similar to that, but why does it feel weird?
Isn't this a veiled warning to them that joining is the only way out?
Hmm...why not?
