Chapter 119 How can knowledge be considered stealing?
As the boiler burned, the water in the steam chamber gradually boiled, the piston made a few strange noises, and slowly began to move.
Soon, the flywheel started turning.
Ken let out a long breath and smiled.
"Sir, we succeeded."
Did it work? Perhaps, but now was not the time to relax. Hughes still held Ken's shoulders and did not let go.
The normal operation of the steam engine is only the first step, and the most important thing is to prevent pollution in the future.
"Attention everyone, the steam engine has started running, be careful and alert."
"yes."
There are quite a few banshees in the test field here. On the one hand, they are for security, and on the other hand, they are also doing scientific research.
This group of students had also received some hints and knew that there were other people placed here by the lord. Zeus planned to test their attitude first. If these students accepted it well, he would consider publicly announcing the existence of the Banshee.
Xius is quite confident about this. These students are specially selected because they are interested in learning and scientific research, and their ability to accept new things is relatively good.
I think there shouldn't be any problem in making the matter of the banshee public.
Connor, Alexi, Zoe and others had gotten along well with the Banshee before, so Hughes was quite optimistic about this.
But this matter cannot be rushed. Xiu Si plans to test it bit by bit and take it slowly - if he is too hasty, he might break their cognitive barriers and cause pollution.
In addition to the Banshee, there are many other things, such as how to prevent pollution, cognitive interference and cognitive barriers, and he is ready to find an opportunity to make them public.
The steam engine ran for a while and then shut down. The trainees went forward to check the steam engine and the fixing devices. After confirming that there were no problems, everyone smiled sincerely.
Xius took a step forward, clapped his hands to let the students look over, and then announced with a smile:
"The ignition was successful! Everyone's efforts have not been in vain. I'll have someone send some food over tonight and we can have a celebration banquet here!"
The students cheered. Hughes had told them before that they needed to stay here for a whole day to prevent cognitive interference.
Speaking of which, the Fire Moths seem to have more complete measures to deal with pollution, so I might as well ask them for advice.
Hughes looked at Chloe in the crowd.
Yes, Chloe has also joined the advanced class and is now attending classes with the students.
Hughes had a brief chat with Chloe, and the result surprised him a little. Chloe was very clear about the structure of the steam engine and even proposed an improvement direction for the multi-stage utilization of exhaust gas.
This surprised him somewhat. If all the people in the Fire Moth Cult were at this level, they could definitely cooperate on a deeper level.
He provided the venue and shelter for the Fire Moths to carry out their favorite scientific research. As long as they didn't spend all day thinking about summoning an evil god, all these were negotiable.
As for their loyalty? Actually, there is no need to worry about this issue. The world is big, and there are not many places where the Fire Moth can stay.
According to Chloe, they even tried to establish a settlement in the uninhabited wilderness, but later had to give up - the experimental materials they needed still relied on human society.
In fact, the reason they came to Castel this time was to try to find a small island to serve as the base camp for the cult to develop. Their idea was to find an island with relatively rich resources and then contact the outside world through caravans. This way, they would be far away from human society but would not be unable to get the materials they needed.
It must be said that their ideas coincided with those of Hughes, and that was how Hughes built Castres.
Feeling Hughes's gaze, Chloe moved closer unnoticeably.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to know how you avoid being contaminated by knowledge. I want to summarize a set of rules for contacting dangerous knowledge."
"You still need this?"
Chloe was a little surprised. "I told you so much about the dangers before, but you are fine. I was wondering how you avoided pollution."
"That's different. I'm special. I have the means to purify pollution."
"Purify the pollution!?"
Chloe's eyes were red: "That's great."
If they had the ability to purify pollution, they wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to summon the evil god, and so many people wouldn't have died.
She could hardly control the desire to ask, but unfortunately, they probably couldn't afford the price for such valuable knowledge.
Zeus was also a little puzzled by this. He didn't know why the pollution was purified as soon as it entered his body, but it had to be said that this ability had saved him more than once.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This ability can even be shared with the Banshee. If it is developed well in the future, perhaps it can be used by more people.
After all, the runes drawn with his blood could fix the contamination in the boiler.
"If I could find a way to purify pollution, wouldn't it be so fun to learn whatever I want?"
Chloe whispered, jealousy almost dripping from her eyes.
"In fact, your current teaching method is very good. You impart all the knowledge from the beginning without interruption. This is actually the best way to solve the problem of knowledge pollution."
"Oh? Then I'm lucky. The reason why I gave such detailed teaching at the beginning was just to avoid cognitive interference."
"Cognitive interference? That's an accurate description." Chloe nodded. "Most of the contaminated knowledge is ancient secrets or overly cutting-edge research and development results. If you can really let these students learn from the very beginning, theoretically you can avoid the contamination caused by knowledge."
At this point, Chloe's eyes dimmed a little, as if she thought of some bad memories.
"Unfortunately, this requires a complete teaching system and long-term uninterrupted study - which is almost impossible."
Why can't this be done? Hughes frowned. Those large churches and even the imperial family theoretically have this foundation. Why can't they do it?
Most problems can be solved by investing money, right?
Oh. Wait, maybe they already have their own internal academy and trained a group of technical personnel, but they just haven’t made it public?
“Large organizations are catching bugs: hoarding their own possessions and monopolizing knowledge?”
"Yes."
Chloe nodded bitterly. "The knowledge we have gained by risking human lives may be just common sense to them, but these technologies have been sealed away and only the core members of the organization can access them. Even if we occasionally steal a little bit, we can't learn from them because there is too much basic knowledge required."
Indeed, this kind of systematic professional knowledge cannot be learned without long-term study, even if someone throws a paper in your face. Wait, why are you still stealing knowledge? Hughes's eyes turned unfriendly.
