Mechanical Doctor

While treating the young man's wound, the middle-aged woman introduced herself as Susanna.

She was the owner of a clothing store on the nearby 'Good Luck Street'.

Her son was Edward, a student at the Gran Naval Academy.

Edward worked as a helper in Susanna's store because the school was on holiday.

In this world where extraordinary knowledge is monopolized by the upper class.

The most promising way for ordinary people to obtain extraordinary knowledge is to enter major universities or join the army.

The Gran Naval Academy where Edward studied is one of the top naval academies in the entire Old Continent.

The students in the school can be said to be the backbone of the future navy.

Most of the families of the students in this academy are either rich or noble. It is not easy for a small merchant family like Edward to be admitted to the Gran Naval Academy.

From this, we can see that Edward's talent and hard work are very outstanding among ordinary people.

...

After learning about Edward's extraordinary identity, Manolin was quite envious.

As for why Manolin has not obtained extraordinary power after going to college?

It can only be said that this is a sad story.

Almost all extraordinary professions require extraordinary talents. Without extraordinary talents, no matter how hard you work, it will be useless.

Manolin's talent is very poor. He does not meet the requirements of any of the high-end extraordinary professions.

Moreover, he is weak and sickly. Even the relatively low talent requirements of [Warrior] are difficult to get a job.

It can be said that Manolin's extraordinary road has been sentenced to death.

And the reason why he can go to college, in addition to his good level of cultural subjects, is largely due to his parents' financial resources and connections.

People like Manolin who have seen the extraordinary but have no chance to obtain it can be said to be quite tragic.

However, compared with a large number of ordinary people, he is still relatively lucky.

At least he has contacted the extraordinary and tried to become an extraordinary person, while ordinary people do not even have such an opportunity.

...

During the chat between the three, Manolin quickly understood the reason why Edward was injured.

The reason for his injury is not complicated, but he encountered a knife robbery that is very common in Gran City.

When two robbers threatened Edward with knives, it was impossible for him, a reserve naval officer and a first-class [warrior], to hand over the money honestly.

For him, if his classmates knew about this and he was robbed by two gangsters, he would not be able to go to the naval school.

Losing money is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter.

In fact, Edward did not care about the robbers' threats.

After all, he was an extraordinary professional, and it was impossible for him to beat ordinary armed gangsters.

Facing the two gangsters, Edward directly punched hard.

He first grabbed the wrist of the robber who threatened him with a knife with his left hand, then lowered his body center of gravity and punched hard with his right hand.

This punch hit the gangster's jaw, and the gangster fell backwards unconscious after being hit.

Another gangster who was standing a little further away was stunned or frightened when he saw this scene and stood there blankly.

Edward naturally couldn't give up this opportunity. He rushed to the gangster in three or two steps and kicked him.

The gangster rolled several meters away and lay on the ground motionless after being kicked.

As for the injury on Edward's arm, it was because he didn't expect that there were actually three robbers - and one robber was responsible for watching at the door.

The guy who was watching saw that Edward was so fierce and naturally didn't dare to force it.

He hid next to the store door and waited for Edward to go out to call the security guard before attacking Edward from behind the door.

Fortunately, Edward reacted in time and blocked the short knife with his arm.

Although the primary professional has mastered extraordinary power, there is not much difference between him and ordinary people.

If you are not careful, you will still be injured by ordinary people, so Edward's arm was cut.

Although Edward's arm was injured by the sneak attack, without the advantage of sneak attack, the robber as an ordinary person naturally could not be the opponent of the extraordinary.

Edward attacked in anger and beat up the sneak attacker severely...

...

Originally, Manolin saw that Edward had not said a word since he entered the door, and thought he was a taciturn person.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Susanna started talking, Edward began to talk nonstop.

He was very excited when he talked about the story of his battle with the robbers.

Manolin believed that if he was not suturing the wound, Edward would jump up and perform a short scene reconstructing on the spot.

...

After wrapping the wound with gauze, Manolin told Edward:

"If you want to recover quickly, keep the wound dry and don't touch it.Water, no strenuous exercise, no drinking.

"Also, don't forget to come to me to change the medicine in two days."

"Of course, you can also buy some medicine and change it yourself at home."

For extraordinary professionals like Edward, the recovery speed is very fast.

If it weren't for Susanna's insistence, he would have prepared to sew it himself.

After instructing Edward, he collected the consultation fee for this time, a total of 30 silver coins.

This price is not expensive. In this city, a worker's daily salary is about 10 silver coins, and 30 silver coins are the salary of an ordinary worker for three days.

After throwing away the money for medical consumables, Manolin made about 10 silver coins, which can be said to be very conscientious.

Susanna had no objection to the consultation fee to be paid.

So she readily took out three 10-silver coin banknotes from the small bag she carried with her and handed them to Manolin.

Manolin waited until the mother and son left the clinic, opened the system page, and the task column of the system had already shown that it had been completed.

He clicked on the task with his mind, and the system page popped up the option of whether to receive the reward.

In this regard, he naturally chose the option to receive it.

"The task is completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining 50 professional experience points, [Secondary Mechanical Prosthesis-Arm Blueprint]"

Manolin clicked on the blueprint information

[Secondary Mechanical Prosthesis-Arm] (A mechanical prosthesis powered by steam, with poor flexibility, can only be used for low-intensity combat.)

As the blueprint flashed, all the knowledge about [Secondary Mechanical Prosthesis-Arm] flooded into his mind.

He read the entire set of blueprints carefully, and was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

This set of blueprints is powered by steam and controlled by magic.

It also includes the technology of nerve, muscle and mechanical connection required for the installation of prostheses.

These novel and advanced technologies are a huge impact on Manolin's knowledge system in his past and present lives.

However, among these novel technologies, the one that satisfied him most was the technology of nerve, muscle and mechanical connection.

Many of these technologies will greatly benefit his medical skills.

He believes that when he fully absorbs this part of the technology, he can surpass most doctors in the world in the treatment of nerve and muscle trauma.

With these, he can be a doctor with the confidence to treat trauma.

And this also reduces the pressure on his heart.

Thinking of this, he simply walked to the door of the clinic and hung up a sign of closure.

After locking the door, he climbed up the stairs to the third floor of the clinic.

There are three rooms on the third floor, one for medical supplies and one for utility rooms.

And the last one is the workshop that Manolin has cleaned up himself.

Pushing open the door of the workshop, I saw a huge wooden long table in the middle of the room, with some ores and metal ingots of various colors on the table.

The metal control ability can extract metals from ores. Although the extraction efficiency of the lv1 metal control ability is very low, it is still acceptable to Manolin now.

After all, he doesn't have a place to use a lot of metal materials now.

After sitting on the chair in front of the wooden table, he began to use his metal control ability to make various parts needed for [Secondary Mechanical Prosthesis - Arm].

Every time he made a part, he would measure it with a measuring tool.

The unqualified ones would be repaired with metal control ability, which would not waste materials or time.

Probably due to the combined effect of the [Mechanic] profession and the [Dexterity] talent, Manolin processed the parts very accurately and almost never had to be re-melted.

…

Until the sun set, the light in the room began to dim. Manolin completed the manufacture of all the parts of a mechanical prosthesis.

When he saw that it was getting darker, he took out a metal box from the drawer of the wooden table.

When he opened the box, there were more than a dozen dark red small cubes inside.

He used a clamp to clip out one of the small cubes and placed it above the lighter.

After more than ten seconds of roasting, the dark red small cube was ignited by the flame.

The light emitted by this small cube was bright and stable.

He opened the lampshade of the glass lamp on the table and put the small cube in the center of the glass lamp.

Although he had traveled for a week, Manolin still felt magical about this dark red small cube that could burn stably for several hours after lighting one.

According to the original owner's memory, the dark red small cube was made of the most basic and important fuel for the world's industry [phlogiston] and other materials.

This special small cube is very magical. He only needs to light one, it can illuminate the entire studio.

This world is similar to the first industrial revolution in the previous life, but different.

The similarity is that the power source used in both worlds is steam power.

The difference is that the fuel for steam engines in this world is not coal but [phlogiston].

Probably because [phlogiston] is too easy to use compared to coal, this world is completely heading towards steam machinery and will never look back.

Various steam-powered machines are flourishing, not to mention steam cars and steamships, even some large-caliber guns are mechanically powered.

Another difference between this world and the previous life is that this world has extraordinary power.

Professionals and gods who control extraordinary power really exist in this world.

Some powerful professionals can even destroy cities and armies alone.

Because of this, the royal family and nobles, who should have declined with the development of productivity during the industrial revolution like in the previous life, relied on extraordinary power and were not greatly affected by the industrial revolution.
