Chapter 5: Library
Walking in the afternoon sunshine, crossing the training ground and passing several laboratory buildings, Luo Yi finally reached his destination before the class bell rang.
It was a big lake with a small island in the lake. On the island was a magnificent building.
Twelve rock-carved pillars support the dome of the entire building, and the floor is paved with white marble, so smooth that you can reflect your reflection.
Coupled with the large floor-to-ceiling windows and the soft light of the magic crystal chandeliers, this place is bright and dazzling whether it is day or night.
When Luo Yi strolled through it, he really felt like he was traveling between civilization and wilderness, knowledge and time. It was very unique!
This is the library of the Philante School of Magic.
Lloyd admitted that the Habsburg Empire was indeed very different from the Norman Duchy he remembered.
In the Norman Duchy, the characteristics of feudal serfdom were written all over the place, and the nobles almost monopolized all resources.
Not to mention tangible things such as fields, forests, mines, and wealth, the most important thing is all kinds of knowledge, which only the nobles can access.
In other words, if you don't come from a good background, even if you have great ambitions, it will be in vain.
There is only one way to go: rebel!
The Duchy of Normandy also has a library, which was built by the Grand Duke of Normandy and is located in the royal capital. It contains many books, but there is only this one.
It is impossible to enter and check the information without a noble title.
But the Habsburg Empire is different!
In the Habsburg Empire, almost every magic academy has a library with at least 300,000 books covering various aspects such as history, literature, poetry, astronomy, geography, arithmetic, and the supernatural.
And this is just the individual contribution of the Habsburg royal family and the Hohenzollern family, which is standard in every library.
In addition, there are separate collections of magic academies, contributions from nobles, and works by scholars from all over the world, so that every library is a treasure.
Moreover, every student in the magic academy is eligible to enter, choose the content that interests them, and read and study it.
This alone is the progress of civilization and the liberation of knowledge.
Luo Yi walked briskly into this vast palace of knowledge with his student badge, and lingered among the bookshelves.
However, he did not rush to the 'supernormal area', but after searching for a while, he found the 'historical area'.
Then, he started from the wilderness and ancient times long ago, and gradually explored the context of this world.
Because he was using Deep Blue's scanning module, he didn't have to pick some books and then find a seat like others did.
Instead, he found a corner, tried his best to avoid other people's eyes, and quickly flipped through the pages.
To be precise, Deep Blue does not possess intelligence, but its "data analysis module" is extremely useful and can provide various feasible methods under existing conditions.
However, this kind of "analysis" does not come out of thin air, but requires the assistance of various conditions. Therefore, the more information in the storage module, the more accurate the analysis will be.
Now, Luo Yi is here to supplement the basic information of this world.
He actually didn't mind looking through all the books in the library, but that would take some time.
As time passed by while reading, Luo Yi became more and more focused, with a light blue light flashing in his eyes. He could scan a page in just one or two breaths.
Luo Yi has always felt that the biggest function of the intelligent gene butler is actually the scanning module and the auxiliary learning module.
There is no way. With the development of technology, we are faced with an information explosion. People need to receive too much information, and traditional reading and learning methods are no longer enough.
The scanning module of the intelligent gene manager perfectly solves this problem. Not only is the speed of entering information fast enough, but it can also automatically organize, classify and store it.
If necessary, it can also automatically retrieve, extract, combine and apply!
On the Blue Planet of that era, almost everyone was a polymath, and it was nothing unusual.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky outside was already dark.
Luo Yi had something on his mind, so he didn't delay. He put down the book in his hand and walked out of the library.
He boarded a public carriage at the entrance of the college and finally arrived at 19 Lombard Street just as the last ray of sunlight disappeared at the end of the sky.
Here, the young boy Ange had been waiting for a long time. The boy was still wearing the ill-fitting gentleman's suit and holding an old cane in his hand.
The only difference is that there is a hat on his head, which is half new and half old.
Seeing Luo Yi get off the carriage, Ange almost trotted forward and handed over a purse.
"Mr. Luo Yi, is this your reward?"
Luo Yi took it and shook it slightly, but did not open it to check. He just looked Ange up and down before asking, "How is it? No one is giving you any trouble today, right?"
"How come?"
Ange gestured exaggeratedly: "That's the first mate of the Bloody Mary, Jack the Ripper, a pirate who killed countless people.
You don't know, when I took the body to the police station, those people looked terrified, as if they were all frightened."
"In the streets of the east city, our brotherhood has made a name for itself.
They may not care about us beggars, but they are definitely very wary of you behind us, and they also let us beg for food.
Mr. Roy, on behalf of my brothers in the gang, I would like to express my highest gratitude to you."
The power of the Habsburg Empire is unquestionable, but that doesn't mean there are no dark corners.
In fact, the newly emerging magic industrial revolution has had a huge impact on society, affecting almost every aspect.
The city of Auckland doesn't even have a decent police station, and public security is managed by the city guards.
Those police stations are equivalent to where the city guards are stationed, and the crime-solving rate has remained at 3% all year round, which is almost zero.
This has also given rise to two industries: detectives who focus on tracking and solving cases; and bounty hunters who focus on chasing and arresting people.
Of course, there are more gangs entrenched in one place and mercenaries engaging in various illegal trades.
Everything is imperfect, naturally, and everything seems so chaotic.
The eastern part of Oakland is a slum with a mixed crowd and numerous gangs.
The most miserable people are orphans like Ang.
They had no parents to protect them and no source of income, so they could only do jobs like selling newspapers and delivering letters, and they went hungry every day.
That’s not even counting the oppression, robbery and bullying by gang members.
It was by chance that Luo Yi saved Ange once.
He is not a saint, but he does have a bottom line. There are some things that he really cannot turn a blind eye to.
It was that time that Ange got entangled with him!
Over time, the two sides reached a cooperation. Ang would use his own intelligence network to help Luo Yi provide accurate information; while Luo Yi would do the actual action himself.
This business deal was for Jack and his two companions who had escaped from prison, and the reward they received was a 28 split.
Luo Yi got 80% and Ang got 20%, but what Ang valued most was actually reputation. If the Brotherhood had a reputation, it would be easier for these little guys like them.
Looking at Ange, Luo Yi nodded slightly and said, "I can help you partially, but I can't help you forever.
So, Ange, you should practice the swift swordsmanship I taught you more."
"Mr. Roy, I will try my best."
"Okay, that's it. I look forward to your good news next time."
"OK!"
After sending Ange away, Roy opened the door and went home. Mrs. Cassidy had already greeted him with a smile.
Luo Yi did not hesitate. He ordered a portion of hot water and food and went upstairs.
In his room, he cleaned up the harvest.
Jack the Ripper, as a well-known figure, was worth eighty silver tyres, while his two men only had a reward of twenty silver tyres each.
This order totaled one hundred and twenty silver tiers, and Loy took eighty percent of it, which was ninety-six silver tiers.
Ange was sensible and gave a full one hundred silver tyres, which is equivalent to one gold coin.
This is the monthly income of a man from a middle-class family with a decent job.
Luo Yi was very happy to get this windfall. He had a hearty dinner, took a shower, and then lay down on the bed without any delay, starting the auxiliary learning module.
Among the many modules of Deep Blue, the scanning module collects information, but the collected information is just collected. Remembering and learning are two different things.
Therefore, the auxiliary learning module has a basis for existence.
To assist learning, as the name suggests, the intelligent gene butler will use the content of the book as a blueprint and conduct secondary analysis to create an illusion that is almost real.
The power of words is never as strong as real experience, just like reading is not as memorable as watching a movie.
Of course, people will forget things eventually, and auxiliary learning is just auxiliary. How much you can understand depends on the individual.
But this is already very good. Compared with normal learning, it is several times or even dozens of times faster.
That night, Luo Yi seemed to have had countless bizarre dreams. By the morning, he had digested all the history books he had read the previous day.
Well, I can’t say that I have completely digested it, but I have some memories of it in my mind, and when I need it, I can retrieve it by following the clues.
In this way, for four consecutive days, he exercised in the morning, read in the afternoon, and digested in the evening.
On the fifth day, Shenlan finally brought good news: the 'Character Attribute Panel' he had constructed had been preliminarily completed.
Currently there are two updates a day, fixed at 6pm and 6:10pm!
