Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine, Chapter 528,
Second Thesis (3)
Anti-gravity technology that is more efficient than any existing magic or technique.
What does it mean that Lennok publicly announced this achievement in front of tens of thousands of citizens?
Only those who understood that fact hardened their faces, guessing the commotion and aftermath to come.
The air rights of the megalopolis that the Balkan city government has been trying to acquire by investing and investing for such a long time.
With that single announcement, Lennock had undone decades of efforts by government agencies and the Air Force’s Technical Directorate.
Whoa… … !!
As the engine’s output limit was reached, the updraft that supported the entire space faded.
The physical laws of reality have arrived again in the area that seemed to be out of the influence of gravity.
“Please hold on to the objects around you and come down slowly so as not to get hurt.”
Lennok said as he looked at the people holding on to the seats and getting down to the ground with a bewildered expression.
“Even at the moment the engine’s output ends, the descent speed will not be very fast. The influence will remain until the power is completely gone.”
Many people lose their balance and stumble just from gliding through the air for a moment.
Those who doubted the contents of Lennok’s thesis, those who understood but did not realize the meaning, and those who knew about the aftermath that would happen from now on.
An overwhelming miracle that you can’t help but realize the moment your feet lift off the ground.
As I slowly walked up to the podium, I heard a familiar voice next to me.
“Evan you….”
Mila and Felix from the Antares Mercenary Office.
The two rubbed their legs with dazed expressions, unable to take their eyes off Lenok.
Just now, they, too, had a vague understanding of what Lennok had done in the sphere of influence of floating resonance.
Lennok lightly bowed his head at the two of them and went straight to the podium.
“….”
serene silence.
The audience, who had been chattering among themselves incessantly, said nothing more.
I just waited for Lennok’s mouth to open, quietly reminiscing about the feeling of floating I had just felt.
The appearance of the audience that became quiet in an instant after just one demonstration.
The scene was reflected in the city hall square as it was, and the atmosphere of the square was also calm.
Lennok also showed hesitation, holding the microphone and opening and closing his mouth several times.
What should I say Can a better answer be added after this?
The moment when Lennok, who had been thinking for a while, smiled and slowly brought the microphone to his mouth.
Charreuk!!!
Lennok’s figure disappeared before people’s eyes.
A thick curtain was drawn around the podium and at the same time blocked all sounds and senses.
Everyone who looked at the podium as if possessed suddenly came to their senses as if they had woken up from a dream.
“What!”
“I was watching you all the time…!!”
“I came to the fair to see this, but what are the officials doing?”
“You haven’t heard the explanation yet. Hurry up and open the curtain!!”
“Tell me more about that technology. What does sky road mean…?” … !!”
Even if the audience protesting loudly around them spat out abusive protests, the curtains did not open again.
[The review time given to Assistant Professor Evan Bylon is over. We ask for the cooperation of citizens for the fairness of the fair screening.]
Along with the sound of mechanical announcements, other government officials come up to clean the messy seats and calm the people.
Citizens who leave in anger, officials who stand up as if they have nothing to do anymore.
The wizards of the Mage Tower and the researchers of the research institute stood up with cold faces and quickly walked out of the audience.
The curtain opened again in front of the audience, which had turned into chaos, and the next presenter, who was standing shivering with a swarthy complexion, appeared.
Evelyn gazed at him silently through her sunglasses-wearing eyes, then slowly rose from her seat.
I tossed the neatly emptied box of popcorn into the trash and picked up my phone.
“Deputy Director. it’s me.”
Evelyn’s expression, which slightly lowered her voice and came out of the city hall, was slightly serious.
“I think we should look into the recently patented technologies in the field of military development for the Municipal Defense Force.”
In line with those words, someone’s voice came quickly with an angry tone.
“okay. I’ll explain that matter later, so I’ll ask you to investigate what I said first.”
Saying that, Evelyn secretly turned her gaze towards the direction where Lennok was to be left inside City Hall.
Of course, she was also aware that the senators and other fair judges were together in the same space.
At first, there was only one reason why Lennok tried to share the results of his thesis with the public, but now stopped.
The disclosure of this announcement itself is not something that all judges agreed on.
It seemed like it was completely too late now, but it was probably because he was convinced that it was a skill with tremendous value that would require a prescription for a deadly drug even belatedly.
Evelyn was no different.
“I don’t know if there will be a new transportation system in the megalopolis. You’d better buy some aviation-related stocks.”
The figure of an archer glances at a blond man standing with arms crossed at the end of the hallway, then disappears with a smile.
Senator Conrad Heyburn, who watched Ibelin’s appearance, watched the next announcement with his arms folded in silence.
A faint message came from the shadows beneath his feet.
[Mr. The promised 15 minutes have already passed.]
“….”
[There have been complaints about the plan going awry in more than 8 institutions….]
Heyburn did not respond to the words of the voice.
Heyburn, who had been silent for a long time with a thoughtful expression, nodded very slowly.
“The words that asked me to wait…It was because of this.”
[…] … Yes?]
Heyburn’s prepared terror against the fair lost all meaning the moment Evan’s second thesis was published.
Although extreme measures were taken to prevent air power and technology from being monopolized by the city government.
This is because the purpose of Heyburn was practically achieved the moment the anti-gravity technology, which was closer to the upper compatibility than any achievements the city government had accumulated, was released to the public.
Hundreds of people have experienced it and tens of thousands have seen it with their own eyes.
In the process, not only the people of the city, but also a large number of experts invited from external magic towers and research institutes.
No matter how powerful the authority and prestige of the Central Assembly is, it is virtually impossible to hide this fact.
From now on, people and media in the whole city will start to take an interest in commercializing anti-gravity technology as well as covering this achievement.
What Heyburn risked his life to do, Evan was able to do with a single announcement.
From the beginning, Evan had a secret wish that the city government and the air force were trying to acquire by investing huge amounts of money.
“It’s a talent…I honestly didn’t believe it.”
Just as everything in the world is not necessarily complicated and twisted.
Is it sometimes so neat and easy to solve like this?
Recalling the conversation with the researcher who made me realize the irony, Heyburn let out a cold laugh.
“The plan is completely suspended. Notify the other congressmen involved in this matter.”
[But, Senator, if you stop at this point, our side will be responsible… … .]
“If it is to protect the most valuable treasure at the fair, I will have to accept that much loss.”
Heyburn muttered in a tone mixed with laughter and immediately turned around without regret.
“It won’t end with this once. If I had thought of that, I wouldn’t have started.”
The figure of Heyburn, who stood up without hesitation, abandoned the shadow that seemed to have lingering regrets, slowly faded.
“I don’t know what else I’ll show you next, but until then, we need to organize our position. There will be more to do in the future… … .”
[Rep.?]
“First of all, let’s start by airlifting the personal contact information of the dean of Rabatenon University. Right Now.”
* * *
Seats on the second floor above the podium with the curtains closed.
The auditorium, which blocked out all surrounding sounds, was filled with deadly silence.
Lennok, who was called by the attendants to the waiting room outside the seats on the second floor, drank another bottle of mineral water they had brought.
“I’ve been talking a lot for the first time in a while, so my throat is a little dry.”
The figure of Lennok smiling nonchalantly and looking inside the seats on the second floor.
Although the audience is immersed in darkness, Lennok’s eyes are watching the judges as if he knows where they are sitting.
“…Assistant Professor Bylon.”
After a while, someone’s voice, as if soaked in fatigue, rang out slowly.
“now…. Do you know what you have done?”
“I finished the presentation of the results of the second thesis as outlined.”
Lennok replied with a smile.
“I thought it was fortunate that the audience liked it quite a bit.”
“Do not lie!!”
A voice like someone else’s shrill scream. It was not a lawmaker, but a judge who seemed to come from a research institute.
“Where in the world is this compendium about the ridiculous achievement of an anti-gravity engine…!!”
“Today’s demonstration is just a test to aid understanding.”
Lennok said without changing his expression.
“I just used the updraft of the Sea of Understanding as an example. In the compendium, the relevant theories were set out according to the standards of the fair.”
“I thought I could explain this situation with just that excuse…!!”
“stop.”
As soon as the old man’s heavy voice resounded, all other noises disappeared as if washed away.
The deepest seat in the second floor seats. A senator sitting away from the others and closing his eyes.
He slowly opened his eyes, met the lady with purple eyes, and continued talking quietly.
“The presenter himself should have known better what he was trying to show. I see no reason to ask further questions about that.”
“….”
“Your dissertation presentation today. I was very impressed. I called you because I wanted to say that.”
The old man stared intently at Lennok’s face, then nodded slowly.
“The results of the screening will be notified later, so you can go for today. It was a lot of hard work.”
Lennok did not immediately respond to that.
After looking around the seats on the second floor in silence, he just bowed his head in a rather polite manner.
“I am very honored to be able to participate in the fair.”
As long as you have finished your presentation and confirmed the reaction you wanted, there is no reason to sharpen your teeth and buy unnecessary hostility.
All that was left was to evaluate the achievements so far as a solid theory through the verification of the academic world.
Quaang!!
“wait!!!”
The figure of Commander Carrasco covered in sweat was the one who kicked in the door of the second-floor auditorium and stepped inside.
Behind him, with fish-like eyes, more than a dozen soldiers in air force uniforms were waiting with cold expressions.
Clap!!
In an instant, between the ranks of soldiers approaching Lennok as if besieging them, Carrasco widened his pale eyes.
“It’s not too late for anything yet.”
“….”
“I will arrest you from now on on charges of leaking military secrets. Listen to the details at the brigade.”
“Whoa….”
I heard what seemed to be a quiet sigh from one of the senators.
As if he knew what was going to happen right after this.
The moment when the soldiers who approached with rough gestures tried to handcuff Lennok’s arms with magic suppression.
“That’s not going to happen, Commander.”
jjoong!!
With a noise like glass breaking, the new model of the old wizard walked out.
Siolus, who appeared as if he had been waiting there from the beginning, steps out as if protecting Lennok with his hands behind his back.
Woooo!!!
A magical discharge operated by a 7th-level Aspect Wizard with full force.
The other soldiers hardened and stopped under the tremendous pressure, and Carrasco’s face contorted.
“Are you going to interfere, Dean Garteanon!!!”
“I think that would rather be said on this side.”
Siolus smiled and stroked his beard before replying.
“It’s really ignorant to try to arrest a proud researcher of our university in this way.”
“what…?!”
“Your actions are nothing but arbitrary actions by the Air Force Command that cannot be explained by any justification. It is a harsh treatment that our university will never accept.”
Didn’t he make a deal with this cunning dean to facilitate post-processing of the thesis presentation?
If until now it had been something that Lennok had to overcome alone.
From now on, it was his turn to borrow the power of the dean’s personal connections, his way of life, and his political power.
“In the name of the Dean of Rabatenon University and the Technical Advisory Committee of the Central Council, Assistant Professor Bylon is under my protection.”
The dean’s eyes shone resolutely as he stood in the way as if to protect Lennok.
“You will have to go beyond the public opinion of the Balkans, including me, to take him.”
* * *
After the fair, there was only one topic on the lips of citizens.
anti-gravity engine.
Excitement that the skies of the Balkans, which were not allowed to fly due to magnetic storms, might be allowed at last.
[Heavenly road.]
The headline of a short but intense newspaper article that exactly copied what Lennok said.
All of the articles leading to the pages behind it had a similar tone.
[A research team at Rabatenon University succeeded in artificially imitating the updraft of the Dominion of Philenom.] [It is the
first time in history to artificially reproduce a natural phenomenon that existed only in the Sea of Understanding. Is the secret of the mystic world revealed?]
[Experts in the energy system speculate that anti-gravity technology has actually been implemented.]
[A broadcast accident that occurred during a groundbreaking demonstration… … The city government denies any negligence and only repeats the answer that it will find out more details later.]
“Um….”
Lennok silently groaned and leafed through the piles of newspapers next to his chair.
From page 1 to page 10 of the newspaper, the social and economic sectors have been reporting on what happened at the fair for several days.
The same content, experts’ assessments and predictions.
With nothing more to see, Lennok turned on the TV in the huge lab and turned his attention to the news.
[Requests for coverage of Assistant Professor Bylon are flooding in, but the university administration is refusing all requests.] [There is
a lot of interest in how anti-gravity technology will be commercialized.
] Even the prediction that the laws related to aviation vehicles, which were impossible in the environment, will be completely reformed….]
[Citizens are more excited about the fact that they will soon be able to witness flying objects flying freely over the city-]
Pop!!
As he listened to the news and news coming from all directions, a wrinkled hand appeared next to Lennok and immediately raised the remote control to turn off the TV screen.
Saiolus Garteanon, a gray-haired old dean of Rabatenon University, sighed slightly as he looked at Lennok.
“Researcher Bylon. Can you concentrate while the video conference is in progress?”
“Oh sorry.”
Lennok looked at the hologram floating in the corner of the lab without raising an eyebrow.
“Because you don’t seem to want to talk about my thesis.”
[…] … I thought we were already talking about a topic related to him.] A
mature man in a suit with a somewhat aged impression was looking at us through the hologram and twitching his lips.
At the bottom of the screen where he regularly tapped the desk with both bloody hands, there was a nameplate that said [Heider Barcel, director of the Technical Management Bureau].
Haider took a light breath, as if trying to control his anger, and spoke again.
[There’s no way you wouldn’t know how serious the behavior you committed at this fair is.]
“….”
[The same goes for you, dean of Garteanon. Did you know how valuable the thesis was, but let it be disclosed at the fair?
]
Siolus said as he slowly leaned back in the armchair with a wrinkled face and a smirk.
[If you had read Evan Bylon’s thesis, you would have known how valuable the theory is that can be used in various fields… … !!]
Hider, who did not hide his discomfort, exclaimed in a low voice.
[Revealing a technology of this value to the public without going through an information disclosure agreement is practically treason against the government!!!]
“Director Barcel.”
Cyolus’ eyes narrowed coldly.
“I think you are talking too much.”
[…] … .]
“Are you saying we even plotted treason against the city government? Can you take responsibility for saying that absurd remark here?”
[Hehehe… … .]
“The thesis abstract was submitted in advance, and the decision to disclose was the decision of the judges. I don’t think there’s any room for suspicion in that process.”
[Ugh…!!!]
Heider began to cast a strong gaze at the dean’s words, who calmly responded as if he had waited.
Lennok, who met the dean’s eyes, only shrugged his shoulders with a bored look.
The author is not upset that Lenock published the paper at an exposition.
The fact that it was announced without going through the hands of the Technology Management Bureau, even though it was known that it was such an important technology.
To be precise, they are exasperated at the fact that there is no room for them to accept and eat rice cakes in this situation.
Requesting a face-to-face meeting with the Authority of the Management Bureau must also be to pressure Lennok to put in his own opinion and appeal to the results.
Lennok knew that, so as soon as he was contacted by the Director, he summoned Dean Siolus and left him face-to-face.
Wasn’t he borrowing the dean’s name and position in order not to lose his strength in this useless battle of nerves?
[…] … It’s not too late yet.]
The main topic that came out of Haider’s mouth after a while wasn’t too different from Lennok’s expectations.
He brings out his true intentions with a frown between his eyebrows saying that he has come to a conclusion after much thought.
[If you go through the formal cooperation process with the Technical Management Bureau even now, this side will take care of the noisy media and the Congress.]
“…[
Isn’t it because you’ve been waiting for that, so you’ve been refusing all the media’s requests for coverage?]
The dean leaned his head on his temple looking at Heider, who seemed to be protesting unfairly through the hologram.
“Director of Barcel. You are completely mistaken.”
[What on earth are you talking about?]
“The reason we have turned down requests for help from the media and experts so far is not because we were waiting for support from the Technology Management Bureau.”
[No, if there is no cooperation from the management bureau in these matters, how on earth will the related procedures be handled… … !!]
Since the way they look and think is completely different, there is no way they can communicate.
[The Technology Management Bureau is responsible for managing and supervising research institutes directly under the city government. Even though the jurisdiction is different from Rabatenon University , there is
no doubt that it is the most suitable place to handle this matter!!
[what…?]
Heider, who didn’t understand that, blinked his eyes, while Lennok glanced at his watch and nodded slowly.
“It’s about time. The time has come for you to give me an answer.”
[What kind of nonsense is that right now-!!!]
Heider’s words didn’t follow through.
Two people appeared from behind the chair he was sitting on, grabbed him by the arms and pulled him up from his seat.
Jump!!
Haider’s expression, which was forced to stand up, was greatly distorted to the extent that it couldn’t be more embarrassing.
[Wait a minute!! what the hell is this!! Who are you guys!!!]
[Technical Management Director, Level 2 Director Haider Barcel.]
A leisurely old man’s voice came from behind Haider.
The tone felt senile, as if she was decades older than Cyolas, who was sitting right next to Lennok and yawning.
But even so, the tone and pronunciation are not slurred or blurred in the slightest.
[Please note that there will be an investigation after being booked on charges of forcible performance distribution and arbitrarily receiving a project from a research institute under the Bureau of Management.]
With those words, a familiar face appeared on Haider’s shoulder.
Haider also opened his eyes wide as if he had recognized him.
[Rep. Joe John Mayer…!!! Why is the Board of Audit & Inspection’s pitching here!!!]
[Because I prefer to do things at once. Wouldn’t it be necessary to visit several people?]
Mayer’s low, heavy gaze stared at Lennok clearly across the screen.
[The Senate of the Central Council has just finished voting on the relevant agenda.
