The emergence of trains not only greatly improved the efficiency of cargo transportation, but also accelerated the speed of ethnic integration and cultural exchanges.
In just three years, lamb skewers and roasted whole lamb have spread to Lingnan.
As for the perfumed silk of Da Qi, it has also been known to the surrounding countries.
"Little Princess, please slow down, wait for this old slave!"
Mou Ping shouted while chasing after him with a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Running in front was a delicate porcelain doll.
It’s not that a group of adults can’t catch up with a child, but they are playing with the child. This is what Lu Chen requested.
Four-year-old children are at the age of full energy. If you don’t let them have fun during the day, they will be very troublesome at night.
As for what to do if you fall while running like this, Lu Chen has already made it very clear on this point. Even if you fall and get your skin broken, it has nothing to do with these palace maids and eunuchs.
He would not be happy if his children were really raised as sheep.
Little girls seemed to grow up quite fast, and since there was no shortage of food in the Princess's Mansion, the four-year-old girl could already run very steadily.
After turning a corner, there was a pavilion in front where an adult woman and a four-year-old boy were sitting.
The woman's belly was slightly bulging, obviously she was pregnant. The boy was sitting beside her, holding a book and reading it seriously. Anyone who saw him looked so serious that they couldn't help but smile.
The little girl quickly ran into the pavilion and threw herself into the woman's arms.
This action frightened Zhang Guizhi, who was standing by, so much so that she turned pale and hurriedly warned, "Little Princess, please be gentle, Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
Li Mingyue hugged the little girl's head, kissed her hard and said, "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. The soup dumplings won't hurt me."
Tangbao is Li Mingyue and Lu Chen’s daughter Li Qingzhao, and the boy walking on the side is naturally their son Li Chuang.
Tangbao was the nickname Lu Chen gave him. It is said that people with cute names are more likely to be raised well.
Moreover, the little girl is born with baby fat, and the flesh on her face is soft and plump, and she really looks like a small soup dumpling.
Seeing his sister sweating profusely from running, Li Chuang frowned and said, "The Queen Mother is pregnant again, so she should be more careful. Tangbao, don't run around all the time. You are too naughty. It's time for you to learn some manners."
After hearing what Li Chuang said, Zhang Guizhi nodded frantically, her eyes almost turning into stars.
It's so rare that the Princess's Mansion finally has a reliable master!
Zhang Guizhi couldn't believe it. If even the young prince was not in a good mood, how would the servants in the Princess's Mansion do their work in the future?
Li Mingyue smiled, reached out and hugged Li Chuang into her arms, kissed him hard on the head and said, "Alright, alright, you're only four years old, why are you following so many rules? What do you want to eat for lunch today? It's a bit hot, and I don't have much of an appetite. Let the kitchen make us some ice cream."
Li Chuang shook his head and said, "Father told me before he left to take good care of Mom. Ice cream is too cold, so Mom should eat less. My younger sister has a weak spleen and stomach, so she shouldn't eat too much either. Let's just eat well."
Li Mingyue looked at the child in front of her with a headache. She had given birth to a little housekeeper for herself.
I don’t know if it’s because Lu Chen’s genes are too strong, but this child has been very self-disciplined and independent-minded since he was a child, not like her at all.
The soup dumplings, on the other hand, looked just like her, both so naughty.
"Also, Aunt Zi Yan also said before that Mother should eat less sweets. Oh, by the way, tomorrow is the time for the checkup, so Mother needs to get up early in the morning."
"Okay, okay, I get it. Isn't it okay for Mom to listen to you?"
Li Mingyue covered her head with her hands in pain, thinking that sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing for a child to be too obedient and well-behaved.
Zhang Guizhi on the side was almost crying. Her master was so reliable that it made her as a servant feel at ease.
At this time, Tangbao, who was curled up in Li Mingyue's arms, said, "Mom, what is father doing? Tangbao misses him."
"I heard your father has been experimenting with something called rubber lately."
"Rubber? What is that? Is it edible?"
The mother and daughter stared at each other, as if neither of them quite understood what this was.
Li Chuang, standing nearby, cleared his throat and said, "Rubber is a material my father had someone bring back from overseas. He said it's very malleable and can be used in many places. It's truly a blessing from Heaven for us humans."
"My father said that if rubber was used properly, many industrial problems could be solved. For example, it could make the cylinders of steam engines more airtight, making them more efficient, and it could make cars less jolting."
"Advances in materials science will undoubtedly drive development in other fields. Perhaps it won't be long before we enter the era of the internal combustion engine, or even the electric power era."
Li Mingyue and Tangbao looked at Li Chuang in bewilderment. After a long while, they asked in disbelief, "Xiao Chuang, who told you all this?"
"Of course, it was my father who told me that. Every night when I couldn't sleep, he would tell me stories, describing what he wanted our Da Qi, and the world, to become. He would tell me some fantastic stories, about what the world of immortals holds."
As he spoke, Li Chuang's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was really looking forward to it, hoping that everything Lu Chen had told him would come true.
At the same time, in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lu Chen was looking at the experimental equipment in front of him with a nervous expression.
After the experimental equipment had been working stably for 72 hours, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The next step was to check whether the equipment was in good condition.
Two hours later, the final experimental data of the equipment was delivered to Lu Chen.
Looking at the data in his hand, Lu heaved a heavy breath and waved his arm, saying, "Everyone, I declare that the test was a success. You can be proud. You have personally created an era, an era called the internal combustion engine!"
"Starting today, train speeds will be further increased, and the automobile project we have been preparing for a long time can also be put on the agenda."
"We can also start researching generators, electric lights, telegraphs, telephones, and a whole host of other things!"
"Tell the shipyard that I've approved the design of the iron frame ship. Let's start construction!"
"We can start designing bolt-action rifles, revolvers, shrapnel shells, and howitzers."
"I declare that the Age of Exploration has arrived. Those who dare to obstruct us at sea will be smashed to pieces!"
"We will turn Daqi into a fairyland! Daqi will be proud of you!"
