I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 762 - 760: I’m Afraid They Won’t Even Be Able to Climb the Mountain

It is said that after the principals of the higher education district returned to their own schools, they were surrounded by hundreds of faculty members with senior and associate senior titles. Resistance was futile, and the result of the vote was overwhelmingly one-sided.

The next day, they sent a reply to Principal Chen, stating that all seven universities in the higher education district were willing to merge into Jiangnan University of Science and Technology and dissolve the original structures. From then on, there were no more Jiangnan University of Technology or Jiangnan University of Electronics, only a brand-new Jiangnan University of Science and Technology!

Having solved the issues with the surrounding schools and businesses, the expansion of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had become an irreversible trend. Principal Chen and Han Jinyu were busy reassigning classes and administrative positions.

Following this pace, by the time next year's enrolment was completed, the number of faculty and students at Jiangnan University of Science and Technology would exceed the original number by more than ten times. Such a scale could almost compare with the largest universities in the world!

"Menglong, our school has expanded, so next we really need to consider the practical issues facing the students," said Principal Chen. "Originally, it took many students from the dormitories to the classrooms at least ten minutes, and at most half an hour! Now that the campus has expanded several tens of times, according to our plans, the average time it takes students to get to class has reached over 40 minutes!"

"Yes, Menglong, that's a problem indeed," said Han Jinyu, looking at the map. "Although the school already provides a large number of shared bicycles and electric scooters, the sheer number of students we now have is too great. These aren't even one-tenth enough!"

"Can't we increase the number of these public facilities?" asked Zhang Menglong.

"It's not that we can't," explained Han Jinyu. "But if we increase the number of these facilities, it will inevitably lead to chaos in school management. With the current number of shared bicycles, each time the classes begin, the entrance of the teaching building is completely blocked. Just doubling them might paralyze our school's traffic."

"I suggest designing several bus routes within the school!" said Principal Chen. "I've been to Yanjing University and Qingbei University before, and their campuses are huge. They manage it with public buses, with a bus every 10 minutes, which almost resolves most of the students' class commuting issues."

"I think that is still not enough!" Zhang Menglong said. "Qingbei University and Yanjing University have only fifty to sixty thousand students, our own university alone has more than twenty thousand students. With the mergers and expanded enrolment, the numbers might reach over 200,000. Such buses wouldn't be sufficient for our students."

"Yes, Principal," Han Jinyu was also overwhelmed. Although the school's expansion and increasing popularity brought problems that were indeed vexing, "What if we double the number of buses and halve the interval between them?"

Now Jiangnan University of Science and Technology had plenty of money; such transport expenses were really trivial.

"I still think it's lacking a bit," Zhang Menglong suddenly blurted out an idea. "I remember that Huawei, to transport workers to and from work, built a railway, didn't they?"

"You're not suggesting..."

"We could build one too!" Zhang Menglong said. "Rail, whether in terms of passenger capacity or speed, is much faster than buses. And our school's expansion has just begun!"

Zhang Menglong continued, "In the future, it's very likely that our school will merge with many more schools. There are still many schools in Jiangnan City, and we can totally create a connected rail system. If later it expands to other cities, we might even build an airport!"

The massive plan from Zhang Menglong left Principal Chen and Mr. Han dumbfounded. They had heard of taking a bus inside a school, but taking a train or plane inside a school was just absurd!

"Principal, if there are no issues, I'll have people start planning today and begin construction tomorrow, aiming to start operations within a month."

"This… alright, this matter is entirely up to you to handle."

"Hmm," Zhang Menglong nodded. "I'll construct it as a maglev with a speed of 250km/h, costing about 80 million per kilometer. For the first phase, we'll start with about ten kilometers, planning stations that connect student dormitories and various academic buildings, aiming to reduce commuting time for students to under ten minutes!"

"Menglong... this isn't a small project, eight billion... our school now..."

"I have contracted these works, Principal. You and the others just focus all your energy on reforms and restructuring. Leave the finances to me!"

...

"Menglong, a girl just came looking for you," Lu Yiyao said as she handed a letter to Zhang Menglong upon returning home.

"Isn't it strange that people still use letters in this era?" Zhang Menglong opened the envelope and the moment he touched the paper, he sensed something was off.

"That girl's name is Chen Bingyu, she said she's your disciple."

"Oh, I see," Zhang Menglong said as he took out the letter. Miraculously, the letter suddenly burned in mid-air and revealed four very special symbols in red, yellow, blue, and green, each emanating a magical power.

At that moment, a voice actually came from the burning paper.

"Honorable Mr. Zhang Menglong, we are representatives from Europe's Merlin Theological Academy, America's Saint El Supernatural School, Africa's Qurik Warrior Academy, and Oceania's Peterman Holy Knight School. We have heard about the marvelous Super God Academy you established in Asia and wish to engage in an in-depth exchange. We will visit Huaxia in one week!"

"What is this?" Zhang Menglong was puzzled as the symbols gradually disappeared, having never heard of these four schools before.

Had he been not lucid, he might have doubted whether he had entered some movie plot. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Your disciple mentioned the letter was delivered by an owl."

"Hong Yi," Zhang Menglong called out, "do you know about these four schools?"

"Mr. Zhang, we have records of these four schools; they exist independently from our mundane world and the secondary world. There ought to have been five such entities, but one of them has already been eradicated by you."

"Realm Island?"

"Yes!" Hong Yi replied. "These five places, just like Hogwarts and other magic schools in the Harry Potter world, teach various skills. No one knows where they are, but they always look for suitable candidates in the mundane and secondary worlds, taking away those with promising gifts."

"This exchange might not be well-intentioned, might it?" Zhang Menglong felt that the letter carried a hint of provocation.

"Of course," Hong Yi laughed, "these schools have been competing with one another for a long time, but there has never been an acknowledged ranking. With your Super God Academy appearing out of nowhere, they certainly want to check you out."

"However, there's something you might need to know."

"What is it?"

"Although these four schools compete, the relations among their founders are very good, so essentially they are quite united. Their inheritance dates back over 1200 years. When they learned about Realm Island, they caused some troubles around it, but it was only after the Island Master intervened that they earned their respect."

"Are you suggesting they are here to cause trouble?"

"I wouldn't rule out the possibility, so you need to be prepared."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help laughing, "If they have the capability, I don't mind at all, I just fear they won't even be able to climb the mountain!"
