Scientific Pioneer

The next day, Kronos arrived at Backlund Technical University on time for class.

Portland prepared the largest auditorium in the entire university as his classroom, but it was still packed with people.

Normally, this auditorium can accommodate all the faculty and students of the entire Backlund Technical University.

But today, it wasn't just people from Backlund Technical University who came to listen to the lecture.

Many students and scholars from outside the region have come specifically to hear about this course, which is touted as opening a new chapter in knowledge.

No matter the era, there will always be people who don't trust rumors and want to see for themselves.

A significant number of them are even faculty and students from Backlund University.

The Backlund Technical University was not originally intended to rival this top-tier university.

However, with Kronos's intervention, Backlund Technical University rose to a higher position thanks to the support of its Scientific Research Base.

Portland has been actively recruiting renowned scholars, who have not only joined its Scientific Research Base but also gained affiliation with Backlund Technical University.

Therefore, in terms of scientific research, the reputation of the Backlund Technical University once surpassed that of the Backlund University.

Rivals are common in the same industry, so naturally, there were constant disputes between the two companies.

Even if Portland graduated from Backlund University, it doesn't matter; they've certainly been sabotaging each other quite a bit.

If we only consider the relationship between the two universities, Portland would definitely not allow Backlund University students to attend classes, because that would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

But Portland still understands the bigger picture.

He knew that Kronos needed to digest the Potion, so the wider the dissemination of this knowledge, the better, and the greater its impact, the better.

Portland was well aware of his own limitations; he knew that Backlund Technical University had never had a graduating class, so its influence was still inferior to that of Backlund University.

If Kronos's courses can win over the faculty and students of Backlund University, it will greatly help to expand its influence.

Therefore, despite their dislike for Backlund University, Portland ultimately did not stop them from attending classes.

Unlike the previous trial lecture, Kronos was very well prepared for this lesson.

Looking at the surging crowd below the stage, Kronos felt a little excited.

Unlike lecturing to workers, who rely solely on quantity to succeed.

The impact of university courses does not end when Kronos's course ends.

These people are contemporary intellectuals, including a considerable number of university professors.

Therefore, even after class, they can continue to influence their friends, relatives, and students, and this influence may even grow exponentially.

They should be the main force in digesting their own Potion.

Kronos was very well prepared this time. He directed the people from the Walter Factory to distribute the finished Microscope to the audience as a greeting gift.

Anyway, the Argel Family isn't short of money.

Next came the lesson that Kronos had carefully prepared.

After a series of insightful yet accessible explanations, everyone in the audience was amazed by the Microscopic World discovered by Kronos.

Although Kronos's first lesson sparked heated discussions, there was only one Microscope, and very few people could see it.

But when this class came, everyone could see it, so the voices of doubt naturally disappeared.

Not only are there no more questions now, but these people will also become Kronos's best publicity channel, and it's likely that there will be even more people in the next class.

After class, many people rushed up to Kronos, partly to ask questions and partly to express their respect.

The most unique person among them is the Vice-Chancellor of Backlund University.

The vice principal first made small talk with Kronos, since Kronos was also a graduate of the school.

After exchanging pleasantries, he stated his purpose.

He wanted Kronos to return to the school and teach such a course if he had the time.

This is actually quite common; some very famous scholars may be professors at multiple universities at the same time.

However, it is somewhat unusual for this to happen between Backlund University and Backlund Technical University.

Given the poor relationship between the two schools, it was already a courtesy that they didn't ban Kronos from entering.

There was really nothing else that Backlund University could do.

Backlund Technical University already had a slight edge over Backlund University in terms of technology, and now a groundbreaking course has emerged, offered at Backlund Technical University, which puts Backlund ahead of Backlund University once again.

Therefore, Backlund University had no choice but to join if they couldn't win.

At least in this new discipline, they cannot fall behind, or they will never catch up.

That's why the vice principal came to observe the class this time. As long as there are no problems with Kronos's course, we should try our best to invite him.

Kronos smiled and glanced at Portland, then said, "No problem. As soon as I have time, I'll contact you and go back to my alma mater for a visit."

Kronos's purpose was clear, so he naturally wouldn't refuse the invitation from Backlund University.

However, he was also very wary of Portland.

Portland was his friend, and he was also involved in the restructuring of Backlund Technical University; therefore, it was impossible for Kronos to fully support Backlund University.

Therefore, the best approach is to complete the course at the Backlund Technical University first, and then proceed to Backlund University.

In this way, Backlund University would not have much of an objection, and the foundation for Backlund Technical University would have been laid.

Portland expressed satisfaction with Kronos's choice.

After this formal lesson concluded, the newspaper had once again achieved a perfect publicity campaign.

Previously, there might have been a hint of uncertainty in their words, but now they have completely begun to advocate for it.

It wasn't just the hype from laypeople; many genuine professionals also spoke in newspapers, stating that Kronos's discovery would be of great significance.

With these people's endorsement, Kronos made a name for himself in the scientific community.

Previously, he was only somewhat famous within the Loen Kingdom, but now his fame has spread throughout the Northern Continent.

Scientists from other countries had heard of the Microscopic World Theory, but because the person who proposed the theory was only a young man in his early twenties, they did not pay much attention to it.

Now that many Scientists of the same level have spoken out in support, they have naturally become more interested and even want to travel to Loen to attend the course.

Therefore, Kronos's life became noticeably busier afterward.

Although the courses were still being conducted at Backlund Technical University, he began to attend speaking engagements in various locations.

Even good wine needs advertising, so we need to do our best to promote it.

During the day, I had to deal with these things, and at night I still had to give lectures to the workers in a routine manner. I was so busy every day that I was practically running around like crazy.

Although busy, Kronos was still happy, after all, the progress of the Potion digestion was there, and the speed was not slow every day.

In Kronos's view, this speed was indeed no slower than when he was in Sequence 4.

This shows that Kronos had indeed found the right method.

Greenton, for example, was willing to abandon his humanity in order to digest his Potion, but little did he know that he had simply taken the wrong path.

Not only him, but many Executives of the Church of Steam and Machinery may have gone astray.

The Paragon Pathway is indeed the Paths of the Divine of the Beyonder, but its foundation is knowledge of the Real World.

Although the Advancement Ritual helps others advance to Demigod, that's because the anchor at the Demigod level is more solid, and it doesn't have much to do with the subsequent assimilation process.

Therefore, the principle of Knowledge Mentor is indeed to impart knowledge, but what should be imparted is cultural knowledge, not extraordinary knowledge.

From Stiano downwards, no one in the Church of Steam and Machinery ever truly studied knowledge.

Even though Emperor Roselle set such a good example, he ultimately failed to guide the Church of Steam and Machinery to the right path.

It's such a waste to give such a suitable Pathway for time travelers to Stiano; it's a real waste.

During this busy period, Kronos sensed the feedback from Klein's ascension to Demigod.

Klein's ascension to Demigod occurred not long after Mr. Azik entered the Death God's Tomb, so it was quite normal for him to advance at this time without any other interference.

After all, he had helped Klein, so he did experience some feedback regarding the Potion's digestion.

However, judging from the feedback, Klein's advancement to Demigod was not even as effective as him using his Avatar to give a lesson to the workers.

Methods that are ineffective from the start will soon lose their effectiveness if you continue using them.

That's why the Enlightenment Monastery had virtually no effect on Green.

As for the Ritual when Klein ascended to Demigod status, Kronos was originally quite interested.

It has nothing to do with Ince Will; the main reason is to see if we can muddy the waters and let the Red Angel slack off.

By this time, Kronos was already Angel and had the ability to control the Red Angel Evil Spirit.

This Evil Spirit has lived for so many worlds, it must be quite valuable.

I've just been really busy lately and haven't been able to find the time.

Moreover, this Advancement Ritual was being watched by important figures; otherwise, Klein's Ritual wouldn't have been perfect so quickly.

The most important figures among them are Adam and Ouroboros.

Adam's plan had always been this: after the protagonist dealt with Ince, he would reclaim the last Sequence One, the 0-08 Quill of Alzuhod.

Ouroboros only paid attention to this place because of Medici.

Whether it was Adam or Ouroboros, Kronos believed it was better to remain somewhat hidden.

Adam's scheming is far too profound. Whether he has this talent himself or the Visionary Pathway greatly enhances it, it's best to avoid contact with him as much as possible, otherwise you never know when you'll be outmaneuvered.

As for Ouroboros, it's clear from Will Unsetin's actions that the Authority of Time he possesses will definitely have a significant impact on the Authority of Fate.

Although everyone says that Ouroboros was a born Angel, and that his heart was filled with faith in God and Fate, who really knows what will happen?

Even if it were all true, Ouroboros would not defy the guidance of Fate.

What about the True Creator?

With such a crazy boss, even if the person is stable, they are not very trustworthy.

With this in mind, Kronos ultimately abandoned the idea of going to the battlefield and continued to promote his new theories in Backlund.

Not only from Backlund, but also from Tingen, several invitations were sent to Kronos to give speeches.

Compared to Backlund, Tingen has a much better academic atmosphere, as it is known as the "university city" of Loen.

Without the influence of politics and economics, Tingen can focus more on academic research, although the Tingen University and the Khoy University may have a stronger advantage in the humanities.

However, the lack of an advantage doesn't mean they don't want to narrow the gap or even establish an advantage; that's why the invitation was sent.

Kronos doesn't have time to deal with these invitations right now.

Because the Royal Family was preparing to confer titles upon Kronos and bestow honors upon him Scientific Pioneer.

Kronos had previously been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the navy on Amyrius's recommendation, and this time he was naturally to be promoted to Colonel.

Although he was only one step away from becoming a general, it was ultimately just a dotted line, subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, with no real power.

As for the honor of Scientific Pioneer, this must have been learned from Emperor Roselle, who awarded it every three to five years to those who made outstanding contributions to science.

Logically speaking, the selection process for this Scientific Pioneer award hasn't even begun, so it shouldn't be awarded so easily.

However, the Loen Royal Family also received the Message that many Scientists from various countries had already set off for Loen to discuss the Microscopic World with Kronos.

When dealing with Scientists of this caliber, Kronos needed to have a respectable status and honors to boast about.

A naval Colonel is one, and Scientific Pioneer is certainly another.

With these, Kronos was no longer considered inferior when facing those Scientists.

This wasn't because the Augustus Family had any special favor for Kronos; it was mainly to save face for their own country.

As for the exceptional selection of Kronos as Scientific Pioneer, no one said much about it.

After all, most of the prominent figures in the Loen Kingdom already had some understanding of the Microscopic World of Kronos.

If a discovery of this caliber does not qualify one as Scientific Pioneer, then the significance of this honor will be questioned.

Although there was a slight exception, everyone supported Kronos winning the award, so there was no controversy.
