C799 A Genius in a Jar



C799 A Genius in a Jar

0Da Vinci had always been a very capable man.    
2

    

If it was just his thoughts that were different from ordinary people, then Da Vinci would not be regarded as an unusual person. After all, everyone had the right to daydream, and basically everyone would do things like bragging. But if it was paired with the thought of doing something immediately, then there would be a problem.    

    

Unfortunately, Da Vinci was the one who did it.    

    

Thus, after just one night, Du Kang saw something that looked like a chimney on the roof of the dormitory building.    

    

"Kid, what are you doing?"    

    

Du Kang sensed something was wrong and quickly pulled Da Vinci, who was busy.    

    

"Are you going to open a vent on the roof?"    

    

"No, this is an experiment. Part of it. "    

    

Da Vinci shook his head seriously.    

    

"I am trying to improve it... sigh! Over here!"    

    

Following Da Vinci's call, a fatty wearing a triangular cap and a black-skinned man carried a huge iron jar over from afar.    

    

... "Why are the two of you following us?"    

    

Du Kang's head started to hurt.    

    

"Nyar, what's the situation now?"    

    

Sighing, Du Kang pulled Nyarlathotep, who was wiping his sweat, over.    

    

"Alright, stop pretending. Explain to me what happened in advance."    

    

"Nothing happened. It was just an ordinary attempt."    

    

Nyarlathotep exaggeratedly touched the sweat on his face and even panted a few times.    

    

"Da Vinci has a new idea now, so he wants to try and see if it can be done... You can ask him the details yourself."    

    

... "Ah?"    

    

Du Kang was stunned for a moment, then he turned his eyes to Da Vinci.    

    

"What idea?"    

    

"Flying is not a continuous process."    

    

Da Vinci explained seriously.    

    

"Just like birds, when they fly, they flap their wings hard to make themselves fly, but when they fly in the air, they only need to flap their wings occasionally. In other words, the entire flight can be divided into two phases. Ascending and flying. "    

    

" I understand that, but why did you bring the soup pot from the canteen here? "    

    

Looking at the huge iron jar beside him, Du Kang felt dizzy.    

    

"Do you want to make a big pot of rice before you start working? Cooking is not... Sigh! What are you doing!?"    

    

"I'm conducting an experiment."    

    

Da Vinci, who had already put on the flying device, jumped into the iron jar.    

    

"I haven't tried to fly yet, but judging from the way birds fly, it shouldn't be a problem. In other words, what we need to do now is to take off. So... David, Nyar, do me a favor. "    

    

" Alright! "    

    

Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu excitedly lifted up the big iron jar, then lifted it up to the roof.    

    

"Yes, it's repaired pretty well."    

    

Nyarlathotep just looked at the thing that looked like a chimney, then nodded his head.    

    

"It should be usable."    

    

As he spoke, Nyarlathotep took out a big bag from his back and stuffed it into the chimney. He then placed the big iron jar on top of the chimney.    

    

"Nyar, wait a moment?"    

    

Du Kang, who had followed him up to the roof, vaguely sensed that something was not right.    

    

"Is that... gunpowder?"    

    

"This is explosive force."    

    

Before Nyarlathotep could say anything, Da Vinci had already started to explain himself.    

    

"Junior Zu Lu really has an idea. Flying is something that can be done by flying in the sky. As for where you can fly to, that will be after you fly in the sky. Junior Nyar, help me light the fire."    

    

"Alright."    

    

Nyarlathotep nodded and took out the fire seed from his pocket.    

    

"Remember to tell us about the scenery in the sky when you come down..."    

    

"Why are you following us?"    

    

Du Kang was so angry that he snatched the tinder over.    

    

He originally thought that Da Vinci's so-called "understood" should be because he understood some academic difficulties, but now it seemed like... how the f * ck did he understand?    

    

This was simply madness.    

    

"Come down! All of you, come down!"    

    

After violently smashing the tinder to the ground, Du Kang angrily waved his hand.    

    

"What the hell is going on!? What the hell are you all doing!? You... "    

    

" Are... are you crazy? "    

    

Nyarlathotep was stunned for a moment, then he gave Du Kang a deep look.    

    

"Do you really think we are crazy?"    

    

"Don't you think so?"    

    

Du Kang stared back without showing any signs of weakness.    

    

"How could you use gunpowder to shoot people into the sky? What's the difference between this and letting someone fight in front of a cannon? This isn't madness! What else was madness? And you, Da Vinci, you brat... "    

    

The scolding words were suddenly stuck in his throat.    

    

Looking at Da Vinci's gloomy face, Du Kang felt inexplicably weak in his heart.    

    

Du Kang could feel that he had said something he shouldn't have said just now.    

    

"Mentor, we really aren't going crazy."    

    

Da Vinci, who was standing in the urn, smiled bitterly.    

    

"I just want to test if I can really fly... Yes, it was all my idea. It had nothing to do with junior Nyar and junior David. Instructor, you don't need to scold them... "    

    

"You..."    

    

Du Kang fell silent.    

    

As expected, he shouldn't have said that just now.    

    

When he recruited Da Vinci into the history department, Du Kang had read this kid's file. As the illegitimate son of a small official, Da Vinci actually did not have a good childhood. Da Vinci, who was far more intelligent than his peers, was indeed well nurtured, but he was also naturally discriminated against by the people. No one would hope to ride on a genius with innate talent and intelligence. Furthermore, this genius was still a child.    

    

Thus, the name of the madman was quickly placed on the young Da Vinci's head.    

    

Even if it was just flipping through the documents, Du Kang could still feel the malicious intent emitted by those people.    

    

A good education allowed Da Vinci to learn a lot of knowledge, but the harm he suffered when he was young ran through his entire life.    

    

"That... I'm sorry."    

    

Du Kang sighed.    

    

"I didn't mean to say that. It's mainly because your experiment is not safe. The explosive force of gunpowder is not that simple, your experiment can easily cause accidents. Come, you come down first, we will redesign a... "    

    

" Let him try. "    

    

Nyarlathotep came over and lowered his voice.    

    

"Can't you tell? What this kid wants right now is not safety... All he wants is recognition."    

    

"But he's risking his life right now."    

    

Du Kang shook his head.    

    

"I still need to redesign it..."    

    

"Alright, let him try it once."    

    

Nyarlathotep sighed.    

    

"I will be responsible for the safety... Let this kid take over the burden in his heart first. Otherwise, I will also have a toothache watching from the side."    

    

"You take care of the safety?"    

    

Hearing Nyarlathotep say so, Du Kang's heart relaxed.    

    

That's right, with Nyarlathotep in charge of safety, Da Vinci would not die even if he was blown to pieces. This way, there would not be any problems.    

    

Besides...    

    

Was there a hurdle in his heart?    

    

"Forget it, let's continue."    

    

Du Kang nodded at Da Vinci. Then, with a twist of his finger, a spark appeared.    

    

"I'll be in charge of the ignition."    

    

Boom!    

    

"Instructor,
