Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty - Chapter 870
On this day, Li Xin was coaxing the child to sleep at home. Wang Gui suddenly came over and said to Lu Daren for seeing him. Li Xin thought that something went wrong with the experiment of the Ministry of Science, so he asked Wang Gui to let people in.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Daren came in, he smiled, not at all an expression that he should have when the experiment is not going well.
“Lord! We have come up with a new thing! You will love it, and the elder son will use it too!” He excitedly said to Li Xin.
Li Xin couldn’t help but glanced back at his infant child: What can be used for such a small doll?
Seeing that Lu Daren greeted him so enthusiastically, Li Xin nodded, although he was not very interested, and entrusted the child to the nanny. He changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Recently, he has been watching the children all day long. It has been a long time since he has been to the Ministry of Science. Otherwise, the dean would be really incompetent.
The two came to the Science Department by car. Lu Daren led Li Xin directly to the Academy of Engineering. The more you go there, the more people and the livelier it is. It seems that many people are there watching the excitement.
“It seems…you really did some big moves.” Li Xin gradually became a little curious-what on earth can attract so many people to watch the show? And even Li Daixian, a child who is still breastfeeding, can use it?
Lu Daren smiled and said, “The prince will know it when he sees it.”
He took Li Xin to separate the crowd and came to the middle of the crowd. Situ Liang was already waiting with a large group of graduate students. They are surrounding a weird-looking machine.
Seeing a big stove attached to the machine, Li Xin suddenly noticed something.
Shouldn’t it…
Situ Liang came up to explain: “Since I heard that the son was born, our Academy of Engineering has been thinking about whether he can do something for the son. Later, I thought about it, the son is so young, he must lie in the cradle and rock to sleep. However, the cradle was very tired after shaking for a long time, so we thought of making a cradle that can swing automatically.”
Lu Daren continued: “In fact, we have had this idea for a long time. We have long discovered that the boiling water vapor has a lot of energy, and sometimes we can even lift the lid of the kettle, but we didn’t think of where to use this force. ….. It seems that it is very useful to be used as a cradle.”
While listening, Li Xin turned his gaze to the huge machine next to him.
Situ Liang immediately put a dog on the cradle. Under the action of the large boiler next to it, the cradle swayed steadily. After the initial panic, the dog that was put up quickly calmed down and even began to enjoy the shaking.
Seeing such a scene, Li Xin didn’t know what to say.
If he understood correctly, the thing that Situ Liang and Lu Daren brought out with this group of students was nothing but a steam engine! Of course, it’s not Watt’s, but a more primitive steam prototype.
But…whatever it is! It’s Datang now! Europe is still playing in the mud at the moment, America is still the world of Indians! Does China have a steam engine?
So…this time it’s our turn to spread civilization all over the world, and spread our culture with our ships and guns?
Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn’t help but reward Situ Liang and Lu Daren each with a thud: “I will let you be a cradle! I will let you be a cradle! Do you know what this is?”
Lu Daren and Situ Liang held their heads and shook their heads with aggrieved faces: aren’t they just cradles?
Li Xin shook his head, looked at the steam coming out of the boiler, and said dreamily:
“This is the future.”
