Chapter 65 I Want a Cell Phone
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the Minister of Works in tacit understanding.
Even Emperor Jingxuan called him in a deep voice, "Yu Kangsheng."
Yu Kangsheng, who was very active before, now had a bitter face again and walked out from the back with gritted teeth, "Your Majesty."
"Let the Ministry of Industry try. I want a mobile phone."
Yu Kangsheng wanted to die, but Your Majesty, you are not a tyrant and you cannot say something that is impossible to achieve.
Other things are easy to explain, such as dishwashers and washing machines. Even if you don't know how they are made, you can at least understand the principle after watching them. For example, a washing machine is a cylinder that rolls. As for how it rolls, it should be with the help of external force. Just like waterwheel irrigation, it is with the help of water power. This gives people a little direction and an idea to start working on it.
That's why he was so eager to get His Majesty to issue an order to allocate funds to their Ministry of Works so that they can give it a try.
But what is this mobile phone? It can let people see the appearance of people thousands of miles away and talk to them. This is not an ordinary thing. They dare not even think about it, let alone do it.
He couldn't even understand it, let alone have a direction. How to do it? Where to start? What to do it with?
Yu Kangsheng was sweating on his forehead. He wanted to say that it was impossible, but when he saw Emperor Jingxuan's determined expression, he knew he couldn't say that.
After thinking for a while, he could only step forward and say, "Your Majesty, I...I need more clues."
Emperor Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "Hmm."
Yu Kangsheng took a deep breath, raised his head, and continued to look at the sky screen seriously, hoping that Miss Jian could say more about mobile phones, and preferably, give him some direction.
However, he was destined to be disappointed. Although Chao Chao was also curious about the mobile phone after the call, it was impossible for her to ask how this thing was made.
She held the phone carefully and flipped through it cautiously.
Seeing this, Jian Yunsang smiled and said, "Do you want to try it yourself?"
Chao Chao hurriedly shook her head, "No, no need. I'm afraid it might be broken by accident." As she said that, she immediately put the phone on the table, refusing to touch it with her hands, and just looked at it with her eyes.
This thing is so powerful, more powerful than anything she has ever seen, it must be very expensive.
Jian Yunsang touched her head and said, "Don't worry, this thing won't break that easily. Even if it does break, we can repair it. If it can't be repaired, we can buy another one. I've used this phone for two years and I'm planning to buy a new one."
Chao Chao raised his head in surprise, "Two years? Just, do we need to buy a new one? Isn't it very expensive?"
"There are expensive ones and there are cheap ones." She knew that Chao Chao had traveled to ancient times and must have never seen a mobile phone, so she explained more, "Everyone in our group has one, and some people have two or three to use. There are two old mobile phones in my mother's room, but the functions are not as good as this one, so they are unused."
Chao Chao found it incredible, "Everyone has it?"
"Almost. But you are still young, it is not appropriate for you to play with a mobile phone. Mom will buy you a phone watch to wear on your wrist someday. That thing can also make calls and video calls. Your brother Yuanyuan has one. Have you seen it?"
Worn on the wrist?
Chao Chao seemed to have indeed seen something strange on his wrist that he had never seen before.
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Song Zhen walking towards me from outside the restaurant with a smile on her face, holding an exquisite little box in her hand.
"No need to buy it, I brought it to Chao Chao."
Chao Chao looked up curiously and saw Song Zhen open the box and take out a phone watch that was similar to the one in Yuan Yuan's hand.
Song Zhen put it directly on Chao Chao's wrist and said, "This is a gift from your uncle."
He Beizhou's research major is artificial intelligence, and coupled with Chaochao's disappearance two years ago, he always wants an extra layer of protection for his children at home.
Therefore, although the phone watches of several children in the family were purchased, they were all modified by him and chips were added, which improved their functions and sensitivity, and they were inspected every six months.
Although Chaochao disappeared two years ago, He Beizhou still prepared her share. After the last inspection, he placed it directly at the He family.
"The strap seems a little big." Song Zhen looked around and felt distressed when she saw Chao Chao's thin wrist. It was so thin. How long would it take for it to recover?
The damn Hu family was so hateful that they actually lived in ancient times, and they couldn’t even find anyone to settle the score with.
Chaochao didn't think it was too big. She was reluctant to let it go, but was worried that she would accidentally break it.
Jian Yunsang taught her how to use it, "Come, save your mother's number first."
She entered her cell phone number into Chao Chao's account. Just as she finished, Liang Wei suddenly stood up under the sky.
This is it, this is it. The marks on the Hu family’s firewood room are so clear that the scratches are barely visible anymore. These are the eleven numbers.
So that's it. That was the contact information of her mother that Chao Chao remembered when she first came to Daqi.
Zheng was also stunned. When she saw the number, she suddenly dug out the conversation from two years ago from the depths of her memory. Yes, yes, Chao Chao mentioned a number. It turned out that she was talking about this.
Thinking of this, Zheng was still a little angry.
It's all this damn girl's fault. Back then, she refused to say more about her family affairs. Now, she answers whatever her mother asks and tells her everything, especially her life in the Hu family. She tells every detail about when she was beaten and how she was scolded. She's like a nagging girl.
If she had been so open and forthcoming back then, they might have guessed long ago that she was from the afterlife.
I knew how to hide things at that time. It turns out that I have a lot of thoughts and am very scheming at such a young age.
Zheng snorted coldly and was about to curse in her heart when she heard an impatient voice from behind, "Hurry up and go, what are you dithering for? I'm waiting for you."
Zheng was pushed by someone and almost fell to the ground. It was Hu Laifu who was beside her who helped her up.
After she stood firm, she subconsciously wanted to curse, but Hu Laifu pulled her back and reminded her in a low voice, "Didn't we agree that we should keep a low profile all the way to the capital, and file a complaint with the emperor when we reach our destination?"
"That's what I said, but..."
“What we have to do now is to be patient.”
Zheng then curled her lips reluctantly.
But, having said that, their treatment is really bad.
They had now left the cell and walked all the way to the city gate, where they gathered with other people and prepared to set off for the capital.
But what they didn't expect was that it wasn't just their family of three who went to the capital, but also Aunt Lin Lanyu and others.
