Chapter 323: Divine Art Seminar [2 in 1]

Hearing the words of the hook-nosed middle-aged man, the expressions of several people who chatted with Du Di'an were a little embarrassed. Tiffany glanced at the person and whispered to Du Dian next to him: "Don't take it offense, his name is Gusta, and that's what his character is like."

Du Dian smiled slightly, thinking that if it was just his personality, he would be a pretty good character.

"Everyone, since everyone is almost here and the time is up, let's start today's divine art seminar." Sitting on the chief was an old man in his sixties, wearing a red cotton jacket, said with a smile.

Everyone converged slightly, showing a bit of seriousness.

"The theme of this seminar is a continuation of the last 'Plant Illustration'. The last time we discussed 'Lanji', this time it is 'Thorn awn', which ranks fifth in the poisonous plant. The basic information of thorn awns, if you are familiar with thorn awns before, you can express more opinions." The old man in the red cotton jacket distributed the stack of materials in his hand, and each hand had one copy.

Du Di'an received his share and passed the rest to the back, only to see a sketch pattern on the document, which was 'thorn awn'. What surprised him was that this 'thorn awn' was very familiar. It was actually a plant from China that he had recently seen from the super chip. It was distributed in Northeast China, North China and other places. Its original name was 'Xanthium'. This can be seen in the countryside.

"There is actually a cocklebur on the plant illustration in the giant wall. It seems that the location of this giant wall is really in the old Russian landscape, close to the northeast..." Du Di'an's eyes flashed slightly.

At this time, Tiffany has already opened his mouth and said: "Although 'Thorn Mans' contains toxins, as far as I know, there was a report that in a remote town in a civilian area, there was a doctor who was treating patients. At that time, his child picked up the 'thorn awn' to play with it and threw it into the medicine by mistake. As a result, after the patient took the medicine, not only was there no poisoning, but the leprosy, which had been incurable for many years, was just fine."

"So miraculous?" An uncle in his fifties across from him said in surprise.

Du Di'an nodded slightly. The treatment of leprosy is indeed one of the medicinal effects of Xanthium. Although this substance is poisonous, its medicinal effect and other economic values ​​are quite high.

"The thorns are bitter, poisonous, and can cause death. If a small amount of poisoning is used, it will cause dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain... If it is used in wars, it may have a good effect, especially in the recent war of foreign savages, which have already breached the fortress. , or the fortress saved by your holy knight Ketos alone, if you dry this thing to make powder and blow it in the wind, it should be able to play a greater role in battle, and it can be regarded as a large-scale poisoning god. Technique!" The hook-nosed middle-aged man who spoke earlier said with deep eyes and thoughtfully.

When Du Di'an heard this, his heart moved, and he glanced at this person and was quite interested.

"Making flour and surrendering to the enemy?" The old man in the red cotton jacket was slightly startled,

His eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands: "Good idea, haha, as long as the wind direction is good, it can be used as a poison-killing magic. Even if there is no wind, it can also be used with a human windmill."

"Human Windmill" is a new wood-based magic technique, listed as a four-star mid-grade, and its maker is a wood-based master.

Du Di'an nodded slightly, this is a good way, but because of the toxicity of cocklebur, it needs a large amount of investment in the war to be effective. Don't underestimate this difference, a large amount of investment will lead to longer investment time and distance, and These two points are the key to the war and one of the core factors affecting a war. It is difficult to achieve. Therefore, it is a good idea to use Xanthium powder to enter the war, but in practice, the effect is almost negligible.

When he was thinking like this, Tiffany next to him shook his head and said, "If it is put into the battlefield, it is difficult for the thorn powder to float very far with a human-powered windmill alone. The larger the powder particles are, the less distance they can travel, and when the enemy reaches the throwing distance of the powder, it is already a melee battle between the two armies, and the thorn powder will injure one's own people."

Her teacher is good at making military supplies, and she is also majoring in this area. She knows that the most important thing about military supplies is distance, so when she heard 'powder surrendering to the enemy', the first thing that came to her mind was this.

When the others heard Tiffany's words, they thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Yes, it is too risky to use it to make flour for the enemy."

"Not feasible."

Hearing the opposition from everyone, Gusta snorted coldly and said, "If the powder cannot be made, just melt the water, and the water will not be affected by the wind, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

The eyes of the old man in the red cotton jacket lit up, and he said happily: "Yes, if the powder is too light, if it dissolves into water, put the water in a plastic bag, bread it, and put it into the battlefield, it will definitely have a miraculous effect!"

"That's a good idea!"

"Tsk tsk, with this method, isn't it easy for the military to kill the savages?"

Tiffany frowned and thought for a while, but she couldn't speak. Although she always felt that there was something wrong, she couldn't say it for a while. Suddenly, she swept the slender arm next to her, and suddenly remembered sitting next to her. The person who was looking at her tilted her head and glanced at the latter, who seemed to be listening with relish. She was a little disappointed. After all, the introduction was too short, and the background was still a little shallow.

Although she thought so, she still asked in a low voice: "Dian, do you have any ideas? You might as well tell everyone, and everyone who doesn't understand can communicate with each other."

Although her voice was soft, the people around her heard it, so she couldn't help but stop talking and focus on the youngest boy.

Du Dian also wanted to hear more of their thoughts, hoping to inspire some other inspirations for him. Unexpectedly, Tiffany Mi suddenly pulled the fire on him. He felt a little regretful in his heart, sighed secretly, but smiled on the surface. As usual, he said, "I am greatly inspired by the words of the seniors, so I will take this opportunity to express my own humble opinion, and I hope you will not make fun of it."

"Haha, you are too polite, the wood-based magic is extensive and profound, who dares to say that he is omniscient and omnipotent, but you can say it." The old man in the red cotton jacket laughed, giving Du Di'an a step.

"Yes." Others agreed.

Du Di'an nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "I think the value of thorn awns should be divided into three fields. The first is the economic field. The bark fibers of thorn awns can be made into sacks, hemp ropes, etc. Its seeds Essential oils can be extracted to replace tung oil and fat oil, and can be processed into raw materials for high-grade fragrances. In addition, its powder may not only be used on the battlefield to surrender to the enemy. In daily life, thorn powder can also be used as insect repellent powder. , these are the economic value it provides. On the second point, the medicinal value, Tiffany Rice said earlier, there have been reports that this substance can treat leprosy, let's not care whether that report is a grandstanding stunt or a It is true, but it is undeniable that in addition to containing toxins, there are other things in this thing, which may be able to treat some diseases. Therefore, if you study deeply, you can know whether this thing has a cure or not. The efficacy of leprosy, if it is possible, then its value is much greater!"

"The third is the value of war. Whether it is an overseas military war or a wealth war caused by the first two fields, it plays a big role."

Du Di'an finished speaking in one breath, looked around at everyone, and stopped talking.

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

In addition to being shocked by this long speech, I also fell into deep thought about these words, so that the entire conference room was silent for a few minutes.

After a long time, the red-padded jacket old man was the first to come back to his senses, clapping his hands and applauding: "Well said!"

Others reacted and looked at Du Di'an in amazement, accompanied the old man in the red cotton jacket to cheer together, and looked at the young man with a trace of awe in his eyes. Different from their way of thinking, they are agile and have a strong overall planning ability. Such a thinking angle can see many things that they can't see at the moment.

Some of them have been immersed in this way for decades, knowing that it is not their own knowledge but their own way of thinking that is trapping them!

Knowledge can be learned, but the way of thinking is difficult to change, which will determine a person's life.

"It can be classified into these three ways. This is the first time I feel that I can see things so clearly. I learned it." Tiffany looked at Du Dian, and there was a hint of admiration and appreciation on his mature and intellectual face.

Du Di'an smiled slightly. As a person in the old times, his way of thinking is affected by the social environment, and he likes to systematically classify things, which will make things clearer and clearer. In the early backward society, the boundaries between many things were very blurred, and it was difficult to classify the details, and there was no such strong concept. It seems that with the development of society and technology, the more advanced the division of anything is Meticulous, this is like the research in the scientific world, from the macro to the micro, so is the social system.

"Mr. Du's thinking is really quick, could it be that he has studied thorns in depth before? He even thought of making hemp ropes from the bark of this thing. I didn't think of this for a while. According to you, this little thorn , I'm covered in treasures!" A 60-year-old old man opposite sighed.

Du Di'an smiled, "I won the prize."

"I didn't expect a small thorn awn to have such an effect. If according to Mr. Du's statement, other plants have infinite effects. No wonder Mr. Du has achieved so much at a young age. I am convinced!" The old man laughed.

The old man in the red cotton jacket said with a smile: "Today's seminar on magic is over. It is estimated that the ranking of thorns on the plant illustration will change. Mr. Du's analysis of thorns is so thorough, it's amazing!"

Du Di'an was a little helpless. He thought he would hear something interesting today, but he didn't expect it to be a compliment meeting. He sighed secretly, still smiling on the surface, and said, "That's all I have. The next one will listen to the seniors, if you speak, I will listen."

The old man in the red cotton jacket smiled and said, "You don't have to be too modest, we are all high-level divine envoys, we only care about rank, regardless of age, do you have anything else to add about the thorns?"

Everyone looked at each other, the hook-nosed old man took a deep look at Du Dian, and said slowly: "If you count the effect of turning water into the enemy that I proposed, the effect of this thorn should have been brought to the extreme."

"Not bad." The previous 60-year-old man nodded in agreement.

Others immediately seconded.

Du Di's heart naturally does not agree with this. The so-called war effect is just an incidental statement by him. After all, so many people have agreed with the other party's point of view. If he is completely overthrown, wouldn't it be a slap in the face on the spot? He won't offend unnecessary others for the sake of quick talk, and in real life, it's not that you are strong, others will obey you. Harm you!

So, you also need to be measured.

The hook-nosed middle-aged man saw that Du Dian had no objection, and the tense and indifferent face on his face seemed to relax a little, and said: "Since you have no objection, the results of this magical seminar will be submitted to the temple like this, I believe this A discussion paper on the study of magic can make people in the temple give a higher evaluation."

The old man in the red cotton jacket smiled and said: "The concept proposed by Mr. Du alone can earn a lot of points. According to our old rules, whoever proposes the conclusion will get the reward points. If you don’t express your opinion, you will get 10% of the total points as participation points. This time, we submitted a total of three theories, that is, the three areas that Mr. Du just mentioned, all of which are recorded under Mr. Du’s signature.”

"I have no objection." Tiffany responded quickly and was the first to agree.

Others quickly agreed.

The eagle-nosed middle-aged man's face sank and said, "I have no opinion on the first two theories to Mr. Du, but the third theory of the field of war was first proposed by me, and Mr. Du only proposed the theoretical concept of the field of war. , there is no actual usage instructions, the signature of this article should not be counted on his head, right?"

The old man in the red cotton jacket was slightly startled, looked at Du Di'an, and saw the latter's smiling appearance, he didn't seem to care, and he was relieved. Compared with the middle-aged man with a hook nose, Du Di'an has more potential, but He also didn't want to offend the middle-aged man with a hook nose. After all, excluding Du Dian, the latter is also the youngest person in this conference room.

"Mr. Du, what do you think?" the old man in the red jacket asked.

Du Dian smiled: "I have no objection."

The old man in the red jacket breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's the decision. I'll be here today. I'll go first." After speaking, he turned around and left the conference room first.

Others said hello to Du Dian and left one after another.

Tiffany smiled and said to Du Dian: "You are indeed a genius, you can earn points wherever you go. It is very difficult for us to earn a little point. In the past, the seminars of magic arts have been discussed for several hours each time, and submitted to I didn't get points reward for the conclusion of my work, so I was busy, but it's over in less than half an hour this time, and your theory is very novel. I'm sure that there will definitely be points rewarded, and it will be considered as touching you. The light, white earns a point."

Du Di'an smiled bitterly, you earned it, but I lost it. It wasn't the points that I lost, but the time.
