Zuan continued, "What if there was a movable valve in the enclosed space?"

“Of course it can push that valve…” Shenxuzi said, then suddenly his eyes lit up, “If the other side of the valve is connected to a gear, it can drive a series of machines… No, no, steam expansion can only push it once, it’s not practical…”

Zuan laughed and said, "If we cool down the steam in the enclosed space, can't we continue?"

To some extent, human progress lies in the various creative ways of boiling water, whether it's thermal power, hydropower, or nuclear power.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Shenxuzi couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration. Then, his gaze toward Zuan changed. He was no longer arrogant as before, but instead had a fawning look on his face. "Young man, no, sir, where did you get these ideas about steam engines? Although you only said a few words, I can fully foresee that they will greatly change the whole world."

Jiang Luofu, standing to the side, was stunned for a long time. Just a moment ago, she was thinking about how to save Zu An's life from Fourth Senior Brother's clutches, and even considered calling for her teacher's help in a critical moment. But the next second, Fourth Senior Brother was treating her like an honored guest?

They even addressed him respectfully as "sir"?

Fourth Senior Brother is not like Hei Baizi and his friends; he has reached a level of arrogance regarding his expertise in his field.

What kind of machine has such great magic?

Zuan replied, "I saw it in an old book."

“An ancient book?” Shenxuzi asked, somewhat puzzled. “Which ancient book contains such a record? Why have I never seen it before?”

Jiang Luofu, who was standing nearby, explained to Zu An, "He once went to a secret realm and saw some ancient things in it."

Shen Xuzi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I wonder what else is recorded in that book?" He then looked at Zu An with eager anticipation.

Zuan coughed and said, "We came here to find the alchemy furnace. It's getting late, so we need to go to the logistics department before those people go home."

"What a joke! Those alchemy furnaces in the logistics department are all defective products that I gave them. What use would you be there? Come, come, I'll give you the best one." Shen Xuzi said as he pulled him into the house, as if afraid he would run away.

Watching Zu'an being pulled inside, Jiang Luofu's heart trembled. How many more surprises would this little guy give her?

Although he was younger than her, it seemed that no man she had ever met could compare to him.

Bah, Luo Fu, what nonsense are you thinking?

Jiang Luofu spat, a faint blush appearing on her usually cold and beautiful face.

Her fingers gently traced the smooth skin of her thighs, a hint of sadness flashing across her face. She sighed inwardly, "Such beautiful legs, it's such a pity no one appreciates them."

I checked into a hotel that offered a free foot bath service, and I was thrilled, thinking I could take the opportunity to experience the gentleness of Xinjiang girls. But in the end, a staff member brought me a basin of hot water to soak in, and then someone else came to take it away half an hour later. I was like, "???"
