After that, everything went smoothly.

After Richard visited the Marquis of Vian, the Marquis of Vian, as agreed, really supplied most of the glass produced by the glass factory to the Blue Lagoon Manor. Some of the glass, under the guidance of Richard, has been treated more specially at any cost to meet some of Richard's needs.

By the time all the supplies were ready, Galie had hired enough men to repair the damaged wooden buildings in the manor, and then to officially build the wind tunnel laboratory on the side of the wooden buildings, the place Richard had chosen.

In fact, all the people who worked, including Galie, didn't know what the wind tunnel laboratory was, but since Richard was going to build it and gave enough detailed design drawings, he could only do his best to build it.

Laying foundations, building walls, capping, reinforcing treatment, waterproofing, installing ventilation pipes, installing glazing......

Time passes, and the processes are carried out in an orderly manner.

In the process, it is surprising that two teenage children are involved in the whole process, which are the children of the Marquis of Vian, Harry and Cathy.

According to what the Marquis of Vi'an said when they met, after sending a hundred gold coins to the manor every month, he let the two children run to the manor frequently.

Richard didn't pay much attention to this, and directly assigned the two to the construction of the wind tunnel laboratory.

Of course, he wouldn't really let two people do the work of ordinary workers, not to mention the issue of identity, the level of fatigue alone is not something that two children can bear - not every child is called Pandora, and not every child can sleep for months without waking up.

He made it easier for the two children to supervise the work, supervising whether the workers were building exactly according to the plans. If there is something wrong, point it out directly and let the workers rework, saving more effort in the future.

To his surprise, the two children did not complain at all, and did this work wholeheartedly, so that the completion of the wind tunnel laboratory was several percentage points higher than he expected.

Out of appreciation, he would guide the two of them in his spare time.

Considering that he won't invest too much time, and in terms of wizard cultivation, there are enough teachers from the Ash Academy, so he teaches two non-wizard-oriented, theoretical, and general knowledge.

Considering that he would not continue to educate the two, he did not teach mathematics to the two people like Pandora, but gave them another science - philosophy.

Yes, philosophy.

He wants to use this knowledge to open up the thinking of two people, so that the other party can consider various issues more comprehensively and keenly, as for what two people can achieve in the end, it depends on the efforts and understanding of two people.

The tuition fee of 100 gold coins per month is not cheap, but it is far from enough to really want him to teach the two of them with all his might.

After all, knowledge is expensive.

......

In June, one day in the month of fallow.

"Jingle bell", the sound of tools banging is constantly ringing, and many workers are busy on the construction site of the wind tunnel laboratory.

In the shade of a tree, Richard sat in a chair resting to relieve the fatigue of high-intensity work. During the break, Richard said some random words in his mouth, which were obscure and difficult to understand, but Harry and Cathy stood on the side and tried to digest and understand.

"There's a saying that curiosity kills cats, I don't know if you've heard it. Richard asked.

Harry and Cathy shook their heads honestly.

"Haven't you heard of it, it doesn't matter. I can explain that this sentence is to persuade people not to be too curious, otherwise they will bring harm to themselves. But what I'm going to say to you today is exactly the opposite of what I said – if you want to achieve something, then you have to be curious.

The so-called curiosity is the spirit of exploration of all kinds of things, and the will seriously think about the secrets behind everything.

To give you an example, you have seen horses running on land, pigeons flying in the sky, and cod swimming in rivers. When you were very young, when you first met, you were amazed. But when you see it more often, you take it for granted. I don't think it's strange that horses should run on land, pigeons should fly in the sky, and cod should swim in the river.

What if it changed, for example, horses swimming in the river, cod flying in the sky, pigeons running on land?

If you really see this now, you will be surprised, you will feel wrong, you will find it incredible. However, if you meet them for the first time, and that's it, then you will slowly get used to them and not feel that anything is wrong.

You will only be touched by something else that violates your common sense, which I call numbness.

You may wonder what's wrong with being numb, most people do. Yes, most people are numb, accustomed to the things of the world and take them for granted. What I want to say is that numbness, on the surface, is really not bad, it can make you adapt to an environment more quickly. But secretly, it will quickly assimilate you and bind you to an environment.

If you take everything around you for granted, then it will be very difficult for you to get out of it all, it will be difficult for you to see things from a higher perspective, and you will have a limit on your achievements from the beginning. ”

Hearing this, Harry and Cathy looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, both are a little confused and confused. Harry looked at Cathy and spoke at Richardunu, the meaning was obvious. Cathy approached Harry more directly, quietly, and gently slammed her elbow against Harry's side ribs, full of threat.

Harry glared, then looked helplessly, looked at Richard, and asked cautiously, "What should we do, teacher?"

"How?" said Richard, "it's simple, it's to keep your curiosity, your spirit of inquiry. When you see a horse running on land, you think about why this horse can't fly in the sky, why can't it swim in the water.

Is it because horses don't have wings, don't they have scales? Can you put wings and scales on horses? What should you do, and if you fail, what will be the reason? When you keep your curiosity and keep exploring, you will find that a whole new world is slowly unfolding in front of you. ”

Harry and Cathy listened to this, frowning and pondering, trying to understand the meaning of Richard's words, they could feel that what Richard had taught them was important, and that they had really learned to benefit immensely. But with their knowledge and age, it's really hard and difficult to understand thoroughly.

Richard began to summarize:

"Let me tell you so. The current world is like a white rabbit. People are born at the tip of the white rabbit's hair, so when they are young, they are curious about everything in the world. But as people grow up, their curiosity fades, and the whole person slides towards the bottom of the white rabbit's fur, deeper and deeper, and finally stays at the bottom.

That place, warm and cozy, and with a lot of companions, made people subconsciously stay all the time, unwilling to return to the tip of the white rabbit's fur. Only a small number of people will abandon the warmth and comfort, and continue to climb upwards, after a long and dangerous exploration, and finally climb back to the tip of the white rabbit's hair, and be able to peek into the whole or part of the white rabbit, which is also the whole or part of the whole world. These people, who have a unified name, are called philosophers.

I don't want you to really become a philosopher, after all, your father, the Marquis of Vian, expects you to be a powerful wizard. What I hope you can do is that with the qualities of some philosophers, you will think and explore more than the rest. If you can do it, then you will be better than everyone else, trust me. ”

After saying these words, Richard got up from his chair and strode towards the stone tower in the distance.

In the same place, Harry and Cathy, trying to memorize and ponder Richard's words, felt that they understood something, but they didn't seem to understand anything.
