I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

  Chapter 133 Steam pump

  Big Hall.

  In the solemn and depressing atmosphere, all the major universities in Göttinghagen submitted the poetry works of the group. After the two rounds of competitions were over, the experts scored and then let the students score.

  But everyone knows that the first round of competition is just an appetizer, even if there is a gap, it will not be too big.

  The next second item is the highlight.

   "My God, why are there so many people coming to watch the game."

   As the school's most recent celebrity, Sophie Winster and her good sister Shakira arrived at the competition scene together.

   It's just that after she arrived, the first round of the competition had just passed, and it happened to be the start of the second round.

  A contestant from the Institute of Mechanical Technology at the University of Michigan explained their machine called the Power Textile Machine to the judges and students, while the crowd at the scene crowded together.

   "Why can't I see anyone?"

  Even if she tried her best to poke her head, she couldn't see that familiar figure in the crowd. He was too ordinary and inconspicuous.

  Sophie tried hard to do this and looked at the front row. I heard that all the contestants were arranged in the front row.

  But the only thing that can be seen is the surging of people's heads, unless you stand up from your seat you can see people.

   But a lady with good etiquette should not do such a vulgar move.

  Her classmate Shakira Barrera, who is also sweet and lovely, raised her head triumphantly after seeing the first group demonstration,

  “It seems that this is the best work of the University of Michigan, only slightly changed on the original weaving machine.

   Such an invention is obviously not as good as that of Guti’s group. Maybe such works have a chance to win awards in previous years, but this year it is completely useless. "

  Although Sophie didn’t want to admit it, she did think that such an ordinary work had no chance. “Perhaps, other teams from the University of Michigan still have a chance.”

"Oh, my dear Sophie, it seems that you don't know anything about that school. The looms they showed for the first time are probably the most handy finished products. You will never guess that school's eccentric geniuses It will do something unexpected.”

  Shakira almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

  She still has a good understanding of Miska's style of work. Compared with the School of Mechanical Technology, the other schools are even more unreasonable.

   "What you don't know is that Guti's father is the head of the engineering department. The steam pump they are going to show has been tested for stability as early as half a month ago. In my opinion, the game is over."

  Shakira was very sure, but the more she said this, Sophie, who was originally holding a joke mentality, became unconvinced.

  Even she didn't realize it, the thought of watching someone's joke before watching the Challenge Cup disappeared without a trace at this moment.

   "Shakira, why don't we make a bet?" Sophie's eyes flashed a trace of stubbornness, "I think the University of Michigan can win the Challenge Cup, how about you bet on Columbia University?"

   "Are you serious?"

   "Of course, the bet is 10 crowns."

   "It doesn't matter."

  Such a small amount of money is nothing to Shakira, who is from a wealthy family, and she wants to see Sophie's depression after losing money more than betting.

   "Look, Guti is on stage."

   It was between the two of them talking that it was finally the turn of Columbia University's School of Mechanical Engineering to display their works.

At this time, an unusually handsome student with fluffy blond hair came up from the stage. He kept his eyes fixed and his expression was stern. His arrogant appearance immediately attracted many freshmen from Columbia University, especially the ladies from Columbia University. their warm cheers.

   Such popularity is enough to explain the popularity of this Columbia freshman in this class.

   "I don't know if Guti will make some amazing moves if he really wins the award. You should think about the countermeasures to deal with it."

  Shakira put on a smile on the corner of his mouth. Now all professionals know that this young man is chasing Sophie, and everyone knows it.

  But only she, the person close to her, knew that the two of them hadn't even spoken a few words, and Sophie's attitude towards this son was always extremely indifferent.

  Not even the most basic perfunctory.

   "What you said has nothing to do with me."

   "To be honest, Sophie, Guti's family has a father from the Engineering Department of the Kingdom, and her mother is the editor-in-chief of "Central City Newspaper". Such a family background is also a good choice for Columbia University.

   Besides, he himself doesn’t have much gossip. If he wins this award against UM, he will definitely be a popular figure at Columbia University in the future. I really don’t understand why you would reject such a figure. "

  Miss Shakira is like a matchmaker. Even though she is single, she always likes to chat with her sisters about relationship issues.

   "Gosh, for a moment I thought it was my mom saying that to me."

  Sophie made a joke before formally answering her question, "Well, I have to admit that what you said makes sense."

"why?"

   "Because those are very good, I just don't like them." The stubborn Sophie tilted her head and put on a mischievous look on purpose, "Who says you must like those who are the best."

Ok…

  These strange remarks silenced the active Shakira suddenly. Her education made her unable to understand this girl from a small city no matter what she thought.

  It was also at this time that Guti, who Sophie said was very good in all aspects, began to operate the invention guided by his father and the professionals below.

   This is a machine that is driven by steam and uses the exhaust method to reciprocate the cylinder.

  He began to talk about this work to the judges present: "Compared to the more primitive water pump, my invention has two different cylinders for cold and hot.

  Once this machine is started, it can work and condense at the same time, and the same cylinder can be alternately cooled and heated repeatedly, which can save a large part of heat energy. "

  A judge from the Seven Schools Alliance looked up and down the potential machine in front of him, and then asked an important question:

   "Good work, if it is put into practice, how much less coal will your steam pump consume than normal water pumps on the market under the same scale?"

   "The conservative calculation is more than three times, and I will do the formal test next."

  After Guti chuckled, he had already figured out the data in his heart.

   Then he raised his hand to signal for another water pump to be brought up, connected the pipe to a nearby reservoir, and started the machine at the same time according to the amount prepared in advance.

   "Boom boom boom..."

  The two water pumps started running at the same time, and the roaring vibration made the whole hall feel the huge noise.

   The more noisy the movement is, the more it can deter everyone present.

  Guti added only one-fifth of the amount of coal to his steam water pump as in another ordinary water pump.

   What is amazing is that after a period of time with a burst of white smoke, the final pumping volume of the two water pumps stayed at the same position.

  This is even scarier than the data he said.

  This steam pump fine-tunes the internal structure. Not to mention the creativity, it is a very valuable invention.

   "This is the end of my demonstration. If this machine is put into the market, the input ratio of coal production in the country will drop sharply, and it will definitely bring the most direct economic benefits to the kingdom."

  Guti proudly showed and explained his works to everyone, without any sense of shame.

  Even if the main work of this invention is done by his father and the elites of the engineering department, isn't this kind of competition a competition for funds and connections?

  Since the rules were decided a month in advance, he has better resources and contacts, so he can naturally produce better works. This is the right of his class.

   Unless someone can make a more remarkable invention.

   But no matter how you think about it, it’s hard to find anything better than a steam pump.

   After all the judges and teachers looked at each other and discussed, no matter which college they were from, they all silently gave a very high score in the evaluation.

  Even if the final result still has to wait for all the works to be presented, the scores will not be made public, but after observing the surprise of the judges and teachers, Guti breathed a sigh of relief to them.

   After thanking him, he packed up the machine and went back to the backstage, where people from the Mechanical Academy were already surrounded.

   "Perfect work."

   "I just found out that the teachers at Columbia University gave us full marks, and the contestants from other schools are at most sixty or seventy, which is not at the same level at all."

   "There is no suspense, this year's champion is Columbia University."

   "Why don't you start preparing for the celebration ceremony."

   Several members of the participating group congratulated Guti, and everyone was completely immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

  At this time, there was a "bang" sound among the few people, and someone directly opened the champagne prepared in advance, and the fruity and fragrant breath permeated instantly.

   This joyful program symbolizing victory inevitably made everyone in Columbia Mechanical Engineering smile at each other.

   It doesn’t matter, it’s hard for better works to appear in such a stable situation.

  Not to mention other people, even Guti himself never thought of the possibility of losing the game.

  At this moment, he was full of thoughts about how to openly confess to the long-sought Miss Winster at the awards ceremony, and then let everyone set up a suitable stage for the confession. As long as he made a move, the rest would boo each other.

  The scene that happened in the background also completely fell into the eyes of Tu Fu who opened the hunter's senses and noticed the abnormality.

  Not only him, but many people also smelled a fruity scent.

  At this moment, everyone also felt a strong pressure.

   Only Tu Fu, after realizing that the other party opened the champagne at halftime, seemed to think of something, showing a slight smile.

  This is not a good habit, the game is not over yet.

  Then, Tu Fu heard the organizer shouting for the next one, "The School of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Michigan is on stage",

   get up,

  He casually glanced at the crowd,

   After a brief glance, he didn't know whether it was the blessing of luck or some kind of tacit understanding, he finally saw a pair of gentle eyes that were also looking for in the back seat.

  The moment their eyes intertwined, Tu Fu subconsciously clenched his fingers,

  Go forward fearlessly!
