Super Chief

Chapter 463: 18 Arhat

   The next day, Shi Xiong, led by Hank, met these alchemists from the European continent.

That's right, these people, including Guy Di Roy, who had been an assistant to Cavendish for many years, positioned themselves as alchemists, not scientists. Well, in fact, at this time, the word scientist is relatively rare even in Europe.

It's like that Mr. Newton, who has been dead for forty years, also positioned himself as an alchemist-a very advanced kind of alchemist.

In this era, all disciplines are still in an age of ignorance. No matter what aspect of the research is actually relatively fragmented, there is no complete system. Subsequent disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and electromagnetism are still just beginning to show their sharp corners, and there is still a long way to go before becoming a systematic discipline.

This has also caused scientists, or alchemists of this era, to be masters with several "skills".

Let’s take Newton as an example. Newton has not only made outstanding contributions in physical mechanics. He also created calculus in mathematics, put forward the theory of light particles in optics, established the law of cooling in heat, and in astronomy. He created the reflecting telescope, and wrote the great book "The Mathematical Theory of Natural Philosophy" in philosophy.

In other words, if classified according to later generations, Newton is a famous master in physics, mathematics, optics, thermals, astronomy, and philosophy.

If this is in the later life, it is almost impossible for a person to obtain so many titles and make great contributions in so many disciplines.

But in this age, there are really many scientists like Newton.

Cavendish

This Geddy Roy is also such a figure with multiple "skills". Maybe he is not as good as Newton and Cavendish, but he is definitely not so much compared to the four great alchemists. Even before the four great alchemists got the advice of Shixiong, they didn't even have the qualifications to give Roy shoes in terms of scientific research.

This is definitely a leading scientific talent!

This is the conclusion that Stone Bear came to after an in-depth conversation with Gediroy for more than an hour.

This guy may not be as specialized as the four great alchemists who got the advice of Stone Bear in some aspects, but this guy knows so much. He is particularly prominent in physics, chemistry, and electricity, and he deserves to be Cavendish's assistant for several years.

What surprised Shi Xiong most was that Roy's hands-on ability in experiments was really strong. To be honest, Shi Xiong felt a little aggrieved for him after learning about Roy. Such a guy who was able to do all kinds of experiments was ruthlessly expelled by Cavendish because of a fire caused by an experiment error. Is this Cavendish's autism outbreak, or Cavendish has it? Can't see gold inlaid with jade?

Shi Xiong thought that if he had such a good assistant, he would definitely not drive him away easily.

As the saying goes, social progress, scientific research first, scientific research progress, experiment first!

All kinds of experiments are the basis for the continuous progress of society!

A person with such a strong experimental hands-on ability, but also a person who understands several subjects, is most suitable to be a leading scientific researcher.

And after talking with Roy, Shixiong discovered that this guy's EQ is actually very high. At the very least, Shi Xiong and his exchanges were very pleasant!

Shi Xiong really wanted to hug Cavendish and thank him for sending such a talent to him in vain.

But if you really did this, it might scare away Mr. Cavendish who has severe social phobia.

In any case, the alchemists that Hanke brought this time really brought Shi Xiong a huge fortune.

Shi Xiong arranged these fourteen alchemists in the place where the four great alchemists lived. They are all European folks. Although the fourteen new alchemists are English, French, Prussian, Austrian, Spanish, and Italian, they are all European folks in the New World of North America.

Although the villagers may not always have tears when they see them, they are all Europeans after all. In this new continent far away from the European continent, they still have a lot of common languages.

In addition, they are all alchemists. As long as they are not as low as EQ or have serious psychological problems like Cavendish, then they can always find a suitable topic to chat.

In many cases, friendship is often established from this kind of chat.

And living with the four great alchemists can also dispel their fear of here. After all, the four great alchemists who live here are called moisturizers, no worries about eating and drinking, no worries about women, even the daughter-in-law that David Adion found in the tribe is about to give birth to him now.

Such living conditions are something Roy and the fourteen impoverished alchemists dare not imagine. Even Roy himself admitted that even when he was an assistant to Mr. Cavendish, his life might not be so good.

Life is good, and there is a group of like-minded guys who are studying together, and the Chief Dali Xiong is willing to invest a lot in scientific research. Who wouldn't want to live such a life?

Even though this is an aboriginal tribe, even the towns in most of the British colonies are not as good as here.

Seeing that these alchemists quickly became acquainted with each other, and the fourteen new alchemists quickly settled down, Shi Xiong was relieved.

"It's estimated that it won't be long~lightnovelpub.net~ The four great alchemists under the name of Lao Tzu will have to become eighteen arhats!" Shixiong thought happily.

When William Hank was about to return to Jamestown and leave the New World by boat, Stone Bear rode his horse to see him off.

"William, I need you to continue to find people for me after I go back. But this time I don't need to find alchemists. It's best to find more technical personnel who understand shipbuilding, um, find two more people who understand large ship design."

"Why? Are you planning to start building large ships? The kind of sailing battleship that can sail or even fight?" Hank asked with a smile on horseback.

"No, I don’t plan to build a sailing battleship that doesn’t fight. I plan to design a new type of battleship, a real battleship that’s not afraid to fight. But I just have an idea about this. The concrete implementation of this idea requires professional talents. Letting you find these people now is to prepare for the future."

After a pause, the stone bear pointed to the other two horses that no one was riding on and said, "These two horses carry about two hundred pounds of sand. You bring these sands to Europe. Use these sands to dig for me. When looking for people, we must find people with real abilities, and find people with real abilities!"

"Why are you giving me so many sands?" Hank was a little surprised.

"Of course it’s the cost of finding someone! Okay, William, you don’t have to be polite to me. The sands are not a good thing for our tribe, but you can do a lot of important things if you take them to Europe, so these sands You just take it."
