To Four Thousand Years Later

v4 Chapter 20: subway

[Main task of a thousand languages: learn more than ten languages ​​before the age of fifteen once completed]

, field "fighting" 1

Under the dim gas lamp, Leonardo calmly closed the "Theory of Dance" written in Prakrit language in his hand, and the long-lost system reminder of the completion of the main task floated before his eyes. With his eyes closed, Leonardo felt that the key points of the human body, exercise methods, exertion skills, meditation techniques, and countless unarmed and weapon fighting techniques flowed through his mind. But he only had time to take a rough glance, and the information flow had already skipped over.

He even used psionic power to think at double speed, but only a superficial impression was left in his mind. If you want to continue to study, you have to go through the materials you have memorized in your mind and start self-study in a recall style. Such an idea subconsciously appeared in Leonardo's mind, but he immediately dispelled it calmly.

As soon as he absolutely couldn't rely on the increase of psionic power, he gave up his efforts.

For example, if you say that your sixteen times is only four times stronger than ordinary people, it means that your ability is less than a quarter of ordinary people. The increase in psionic power is proportional. That is to say, if it is the other way around, if his talent and effort are 10 to 20% behind the best group of people, after the expansion, it is equivalent to a decrease in his multiplier. double. Not only will Leonardo's every effort be rewarded sixteen times, but his every slack, laziness, and restlessness will be sixteen times bigger.

This is the demon god. Blessing... At the same time, it is also a curse that easily makes oneself decadent and incompetent.

Actually. If Leonardo needed it, he could have done it four or five years ago. But he didn't want to disrupt his learning rhythm in order to complete this task quickly. Because as long as he wants to, he can quickly learn to the level of "enough". However, if one wants to reach the leading level of this era, or even continue to make pioneering work, relying solely on the characteristics of the "Almighty Man" is not enough—unless he decides to summon all the demon gods, wear fingers, and ignite the soul. Get ready to change the world. The farming instinct comes from the depths of the soul. Let Leonardo like this tenlipo sword god-style leveling method very much.

When he was in front of Master Verrocchio, the reason why he was able to show extraordinary wealth...a large part of the reason was that Verrocchio himself was not very good at woodblock painting.

Verrocchio began to study the woodblock paintings that were prevalent from the time of Nao-ri the Great. Only five years. Although he, as a master of painting art, already has a sufficient technical foundation... But Tahua is actually learning the lost art, and the progress cannot be too fast. Leonardo's woodblock paintings can be called stunning, but that's about it. At least compared to the masters of the previous era. The level is definitely not enough—his paintings are more Yiri, Shengruo, and the two immediately compare portraits. Leonardo is definitely no match for Master Verrocchio. It won't work in another two or three years.

Because he doesn't have the time to delve into majors

According to the calculation of the maximum benefit, when Leonardo is free to study now, it is best to get involved in as many different fields as possible to lay a solid foundation. Then wait for him to put on the ring before continuing to study.

Of course, outsiders who don't know his characteristics may feel that Leonardo is too half-hearted, dabbling in too many fields, dividing his attention, and wasting his talents...

But Leonardo knew in his heart that when he came of age, Lorenzo got the Grand Dukeship, and the winds of change blew, he would not have time to study everywhere. Today's Leonardo has deeply felt the progress and development of the times. A sense of urgency led him to seek self-improvement. The world has advanced into the steam age, and it is about to see the shadow of the information age. If Leonardo still arrogantly thinks that he is the only forerunner and guide of the world... maybe when he is reborn next time, he will start to be abandoned by the times.

This is not allowed by Leonardo.

Leonardo knew very well that he already had enough preferential treatment and enjoyed a lot of help. Being able to become excellent is a matter of course. If he is not capable enough, it means that he has wasted his own system and this knowledge from the future. He will be, and must be, the best of the bunch. Now that he has unparalleled talent, the only thing he can do is work hard.

Even though I had just rushed for a day yesterday, I also experienced two fierce battles in a row, and I studied from the afternoon until midnight. But after Leonardo completed the main quest, he still didn't lie down to take advantage of his knowledge in the fighting field. Leonardo closed his eyes and began to organize the newly acquired knowledge into categories. After another half an hour, Leonardo heard a knock on the door of his room.

It's all over, who is it? Leonardo looked up at the moon rising to its apex in some surprise, hesitated a little, and said, "Please come in.

"It's me, Leonardo."

Master Verrocchio whispered and squeezed through the door.

Leonardo immediately stood up politely: "Master, are you still awake?"

Francis, his ability in this area is outstanding. In fact, I also know this, and I also know that he is about to awaken psionic power. Leonardo was silent for a while, and decided to skip this topic for now.

He also poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Verrocchio: "What about you? Did you just come to tell me about this?"

Verrocchio took the hot water, but did not drink it. He just held the cup, and asked Leonardo in a deep voice: "Do you remember the Arno Canal and Leonardo's railway plan?"

Leonardo raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Therefore, the first railway in the Teutonic Kingdom was completed and opened to traffic ten years ago, and the expansion of the second railway had begun six years ago, and the number of steam locomotives had also increased to six. The railway plan, which was ridiculed by many people at the time, has proved its strong passenger and freight capacity after three or four years. The Teutonic Kingdom's urban-rural communication capabilities have been greatly enhanced, its control over local areas has been enhanced, the freight capacity of major cities has been enhanced, and its culture and economy have reached their peak. Those who laughed also shut their mouths and began to develop steam locomotives gradually.

Leonardo proposed to build a canal on the Arno River to connect Pisa and Florence in the west. At the same time, a railway was built between Florence and Bologna to open up land transportation in Tuscany, which is not surrounded by mountains.

But then the plan fell through—but fortunately, with the persistence of Lorenzo and the help of Minister Floros. The other half is done. This is the part of the Arno Canal.

Because building a railway requires a lot of land and avoids urban areas. Moreover, the difficulty of building railways on mountainous lands is completely different from that of the northern Teutonic Kingdom on flat lands. In the absence of railway talents, this plan was resisted by nobles.

Of course, what they said to the outside world is, "This huge and evil mechanical creation distorts natural road traffic and will bring death to the animals and forests passing by." So the plan was adjusted.

"Because it started again a few months ago. I don't know what they thought, but suddenly someone hired some engineers and started working on how to build a railroad. The approximate path is the one you mentioned when you were nine years old, So they planned to call this railway the Leonardo Railway as proposed by Lorenzo. Verrocchio said in a deep voice, "But it is a little different from your previous plan...

"You know, those laymen are so crazy--they're going to build an underground railway!
