Chapter 152: Luoyang Batgui, Do You Want to Die? !
Chapter 152 Luoyang Batgui... Do you want to die? !
"The teacher actually asked us to study bats?"
"I don't want it, it's dirty..."
"You're stupid! I've seen the reviews of that Echo Magic: It's groundbreaking, but limited by the strength of the creator, there are quite a few areas for improvement. There's no easier way to score points than this kind of magic! And he's an apprentice. Super magic is just right for us to study!”
"After dinner, go buy a bat!"
"Let's go together! Let's go together!"
The boys and girls walked out in twos and threes, talking about the research topics left by the great magician. Gretel was walking slowly behind, and when he heard that half of the seventy or eighty people planned to get bats, he couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
After finishing this sonic-related course, the great magician left a topic for everyone: to improve the echo detection magic, or to explore their own unique magic by referring to the ideas of the bat flight experiment. As soon as the words were spoken, cries of mourning arose.
The courses in the training class are either loose or tight. There is one big class every day, and the rest of the time you spend the rest of the time reading, doing experiments, and doing research. For ten days, each of the eight schools had a day off, with the remaining two days off, and on the eleventh day, they started all over again.
There is a small test every month to assess the growth of mental power and the progress of learning magic; there is a major test every quarter to assess the students' magic research results. Although you don’t have to do all the questions left by the great magicians after class, and it is indeed impossible to do them, everyone who has done research knows:
How valuable it is in scientific research to have a mentor who can point out the direction of your topic selection!
It is still a direction with low threshold, rich ideas and in line with current hot topics!
Just this one, as a tutor, you can already be the corresponding author!
The students rushed forward swarmingly. Gretel also wanted to start B-ultrasound related research, but when he searched and inquired all the way, and touched the magic materials center in the college, the salesman regretfully told him:
"Sorry, the bats are out of stock."
"All of them are gone?" Gretel was shocked. His classmates are also very good at shopping for goods... However, maybe bats are a niche spell-casting material and the center does not have many stocks?
He thanked the clerk and went out to inquire. Their training class is located at Bridge Magic Academy, just at the foot of the mountain from the headquarters of the Magic Council, and the surrounding area is very bustling. Gretel walked less than 500 meters out of school when he found a small shop specializing in magic materials. When I entered, someone happened to be asking about the price of the bat:
"Bat? A living one costs 5 gold coins, and a dead one costs 1 gold coin. The big ones are the same as the small ones."
"Five gold coins?" Gretel was shocked. He does still have some savings, the gifts given by others when he opened the hospital, the allowance he received after the war, the private room that the teacher packed in before coming to the Magic Council... little bits and pieces, adding up to more than a hundred gold coins. It looks like a lot of money, but if you use it to buy a bat, it will be gone in just one swipe.
This does not include the cost of purchasing other experimental equipment and experimental animals!
Researching magic is expensive, really.
"What? Five gold coins?" The magician who asked the price jumped:
"Are you kidding me? It was only 1 silver coin last month!"
"Would you like to buy it?" the clerk urged impatiently: "There are only 12 left!"
"Why are they selling so fast... Hey, you see, the bats here are all different sizes. They are not the same type at all. They are not very easy to use... Can they be cheaper?"
"There have been so many people asking for it lately, and they are all sold out!" the clerk answered very skillfully. It was obvious that he had been asked countless times these days: "Do you want to buy it or not?"
The magician hesitated for a while, but finally paid the bill and covered all the inventory of the store. Grete had no choice but to go out and ask another family, and the answer he got was:
"An ordinary black bat costs 5 gold coins each, a flying fox costs 10 gold coins, a fruit bat costs 8 gold coins, and a vampire bat costs 25 gold coins. How much does it cost?"
Gretel: "..."
can not afford. When asked about the third store, the clerk replied pleasantly:
The boss has gone to purchase the goods. If you want, pay a deposit and leave a batch for you.
"Then...when will the next batch of goods arrive?"
Gretel stood on tiptoes and glanced at the large cabinet behind the clerk. The product cabinet in the material center was made very similar to the traditional Chinese medicine cabinet he had seen in his previous life. It was a tall cabinet with drawers labeled with the names of the materials.
Each drawer is not big, seven or eight inches wide and three or four inches high. When Grete first opened it, he saw that it was actually divided into at least two compartments...
You can imagine how much one drawer can hold.
"Arrival time? That's hard to say." The clerk leaned against the counter and crossed his arms over his chest. There was not a lot of traffic at the moment, so there was nothing to do. Gret asked questions with a gentle smile, and he was also happy to talk about some gossip:
"This thing was not used much at first. I sold at most ten pieces a month. Recently, many people are buying it. Not to mention my place, every small shop in the city has been wiped out. It is said that there are already The adventurer went to catch bats in the mountains..."
"So... how many bats have been sold on the market these days?!" Gretel already had a bad feeling.
He glanced at the inner room and found no trace of the boss, so he put a finger on the counter and pushed a silver coin over without making a sound. The clerk glanced at him and answered quietly, still shaking his head:
"It's hard to say. Our store is average, with about two to three hundred stores. On this street alone, there are at least three stores larger than ours. As for places like the academy, the parliament headquarters..."
He raised his head and thought for a moment, then hissed and sucked his teeth:
"Hard to say."
The ominous premonition in Gretel's heart became more and more serious.
Two to three hundred in one store, thousands in four stores, plus the academy, the Magic Council, etc., it might be doubled...
How many people are tossing bats? With so many magicians, how many innovative ways will they come up with to torment bats? !
This thing is full of viruses! I have read information in my previous life and found that bats carry more than 4,100 types of viruses, including more than 500 types of coronaviruses!
Is it because Ebola is not terrible enough in killing people?
Or is SARS less powerful?
Or maybe Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) doesn’t exist?
Even the less famous Marburg virus, Nipah virus, Hendra virus, Hantavirus, one or two, are not so easy to deal with...
It was better to live peacefully in peacetime, but now it was lively, with dozens or even hundreds of magicians swarming to study the bats. There are no latex gloves, no protective masks, no protective glasses, no positive pressure protective clothing, and no P4 laboratory that can effectively isolate the virus...
No experience, no protection, and still want to study living bodies.
If one of them is unlucky and spreads from person to person, the plague can sweep across the parliament headquarters!
Grete inhaled deeply and exhaled deeply. When I heard the content of the paper in class, my excitement about studying B-ultrasound had completely faded away, and I was filled with uneasiness:
What can be done to stop this trend of studying bats and eliminate possible risks of infectious diseases?
Haha, has anyone thought of turning in this direction?
