"Master Dennis, would you like to take a look at the structure of this alchemical four-wheel vehicle next? We have just added steering, acceleration and deceleration functions to it, which are all very interesting ideas." Lin En spoke again.

Lynn's words were like the devil's whispers, constantly stirring Dennis's mind, because these problems were also what he was studying but had not yet solved.

But in the end he shook his head, looked at the group of distracted wizards of the school, and said with a sigh.

"No, there's no need to look at it anymore. Let's go back."

Dennis knew very well that he had failed miserably both in invention and in research attitude, and continuing to compare himself would only make him more desperate.

"Dean Lin, please rest assured that the technology of internal combustion engines will never be leaked from us!" Dennis promised very seriously.

Although the other party clearly stated that they did not care about communication and dissemination, Dennis was aware of the importance of internal combustion engine technology, which was definitely a force that could transform the magical world.

"Since this road is blocked, why not try another route?" Lynn's voice rang out again.

Dennis paused for a moment. He could naturally understand the hidden meaning in these words and try to persuade them to join in the research of alchemical internal combustion engines.

Dennis was once again surprised by Lin's open attitude towards alchemy research. He became a little hesitant and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he came here with the intention of competing...

"I think that in the near future, a war will sweep across the entire wizarding land. Judging from the attitudes of several speakers, the situation is probably not optimistic." Lin En said very solemnly.

"There is no doubt that this is a crisis for the entire magic world, and no one can stay out of it! The time left for us is also very limited, and the application of the alchemical internal combustion engine is still in its initial stage. We need more people to join in and fight for every chance of victory!"

Dennis was somewhat moved. After all, what Lin En said was right. The Holy See would not care which sect of wizards they belonged to. They would just kill them all.

"In addition, I think the internal combustion engine is far from its limit. There must be a better and simpler way to use this power, but we haven't found it yet..." Lin En added.

"Do you really think there is an alchemical instrument more powerful than this?" Dennis said in surprise.

In his opinion, this internal combustion engine is already perfect and has almost no upper limit. It only needs more intense heat and stronger explosions to bring more and more powerful power.

It can be said that the only thing that limits its performance is the material problem...

"Of course, I firmly believe it!" Lin En nodded confidently, and then smiled and said, "Before the internal combustion engine appeared, didn't you also think that steam was the answer to everything?"

"You're right. There's no end to the study of magic." Dennis nodded without hesitation and immediately agreed to participate in the development and improvement of the alchemical internal combustion engine as a non-staff member.

The wizards of the Alchemy Association did not object. They had devoted half their lives to the research of steam engines, only to find that this thing had been eliminated. Only by applying the relevant development experience to the research of internal combustion engines could their previous efforts have some value.

Lin En was very happy that he had successfully fooled a group of researchers again. This meant that he could free up the alchemists who were originally studying internal combustion engines to study other technologies, such as muskets and artillery...

…

For example, there is a waterwheel erected beside the river that automatically irrigates the farmland, and there is also an alchemical wheel that runs faster than the wind. It is said that wizards have also invented an alchemical instrument called a textile machine that can use magic to make clothes.

Mary firmly believed this because several of her good friends had entered the weaving workshop and it was said that one person could weave hundreds of meters of cloth in a day.

If this isn’t magic, then what is? However, in order to earn more silver coins, Mary still chose to enter the glass workshop.

It was like a furnace in there, with steam rising from the enclosed room. The workers poured piles of fine sand into the living furnace, and the wizards added magical powder into it. Then, the sand would be transformed into a kind of "transparent crystal" under some strange power.

This is not an easy job. The most difficult part is shaping. It is common for poor people with poor skills to get their arms burned. But no one complains because they can get a full reward of twelve silver coins for this job. The shining coins represent the hope of life.

All the workshops were constantly expanding, and the total number of employees soon exceeded four thousand.

In the past two months since returning to Harbor Town, Lin En has experienced the feeling of spending money like water...

Based on the average of ten silver coins per worker per month, that would be a full expenditure of four hundred magic gold coins.

And this is just the smallest of all the expenses. The real big expense is the construction of various factories and the salaries of wizards...

Lin En was somewhat worried that the outflow of money would cause inflation.

Fortunately, the productivity of the Harbor Town is also increasing rapidly, so there has not been a big increase in prices in a short period of time...

The night of the seventh day soon arrived, and a huge full moon hung high in the sky, casting brilliant moonlight down.

"It's Sunday!" Lin En stared at the bright moon in the sky, his expression became a little deep, which meant that a full year had passed since he traveled through time.

The waxing and waning of the moon is just an astronomical phenomenon, caused by satellites orbiting along their orbits and reflecting sunlight.

It is the same in this world. There is a full moon every month, but the difference is that the silver moon is the brightest only on Monday every year, and is also accompanied by the agitation of magical power.

A year later, Lin En experienced this unique feeling again, but this time it was even more intense. The magic power in his body vibrated like boiling water, dissipating uncontrollably in all directions...

Lin En's expression was very calm. He closed his eyes and felt the gradually growing strength in his body. After about an hour, he reached the peak, as if he had broken through some shackles.

After several months of accumulation, coupled with the torrent of magic power on Sunday, Lin En successfully improved from a second-ring wizard to a third-ring wizard. Everything happened so naturally.

However, it will not be so easy to become a great wizard next time.

Just like the transition from a wizard apprentice to a full-fledged wizard, that is another level of qualitative change! (End of this chapter)
