The twenty-fifth year of Changwu.
In the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Dean Lu Zongyuan was nervously operating the control console, and the scientists behind him were equally nervous.
There was a thick big screen in front, covered with snowflakes.
At some point, a large number of numbers scrolled across the screen, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
Lu Zongyuan trembled and said, "Senior, is this the Internet?"
"This is a computer, and it's still some distance away from the Internet."
"What should I do next?"
It’s not that he has no opinions or direction, but that Chen An will give him the most efficient path, so he doesn’t need to spend time trying various things.
Chen Andao said, "The development of computers is limited by materials. Next, you should focus on material research and development to manufacture transistors."
Lu Zongyuan said seriously, "Transistors only exist in theory right now. Can they really be manufactured?"
"Come on, you can't accomplish it alone. It requires the concerted efforts of countless people. I have a suggestion for you. You can spend more time training students."
"Understood. I will propose to Your Majesty that the Academy of Sciences be expanded."
After giving the instructions, Chen An easily rolled up the two-dimensional membrane and flew out of the Academy of Sciences.
The imperial capital today is completely different from before.
There are old cars on the street, shuttling back and forth and releasing thick exhaust fumes.
There are flashing fluorescent signs on the street, attracting customers' attention.
In the east of the city, there is also the country's first train that opened last year, which makes a puffing sound every morning.
As the capital of the empire, it was the first to achieve full electrification, becoming the most desirable industrial city for everyone.
"Isn't it a bit too fast?"
[This is already very slow. If the owner has a physical entity and can lead the construction personally, the efficiency will increase exponentially.]
"That's true. All knowledge needs to be imparted in person. Passing it around easily distorts information, and it takes a lot of effort to correct it. Fortunately, time is cheap, so I can afford to wait."
He flew back to the palace with the two-dimensional membrane rolled up and saw Qin Mu scolding his forty-seventh son.
"Qin Mu has truly lived up to his idea of three palaces and six courtyards. He's absolutely unambiguous. If I'd known earlier, I would have asked him to establish a new system. The current system in the empire has too many drawbacks."
If you had asked him to establish a republic or parliamentary system, the success rate would have been very high, after all, he was a time traveler. But now that he enjoys the benefits of an emperor, it would be difficult to go back.
"It doesn't matter. As soon as we build the spaceship, we'll leave. We won't stay a moment longer."
Soon, the two-dimensional membrane fell on Qin Mu. Chen An asked, "What has your son done again?"
"That kid didn't study hard. I was so angry that I wanted to slap him."
Chen An asked with a smile: "If I asked you to learn new technology now, would you be able to learn it?"
"I... I'm different. I'm always busy with all sorts of things and don't have time. Children are more adaptable and more suitable for learning."
Chen An: "Busy running to the harem every day? Handling political affairs on women?"
Qin Mu blushed.
"I went there after finishing my political affairs, and I didn't waste my time. Senior, I want to change the system."
"How do I change it?"
"I'm exhausted from making decisions on everything. I want to expand the cabinet."
Chen Ande said, "Then there will be more Jinyiwei? East Factory and West Factory?"
"Not really. I just want the cabinet to help me share the pressure."
"Have you ever thought about a republic?"
Qin Mu was silent.
Chen An added, "I'm not asking you to change the system; I'm just saying it casually. A cabinet isn't appropriate. I suggest forming a parliament."
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
The reform could not be achieved after all, but Qin Mu formed a parliament and delegated a lot of power.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the fortyth year of Changwu, and a proper and usable network was finally successfully built.
Qin Mu excitedly surfed the Internet in the Academy of Sciences, although there was very little content.
"Zongyuan, when can we play games?"
Lu Zongyuan said helplessly: "We set up the network to optimize R&D progress, not for entertainment."
Qin Mu was a little embarrassed and said, "Just treat it as a joke, you guys continue."
But he understood that as long as the Internet continued to develop, games would eventually come out, it was inevitable.
"Senior, I have always had a question."
"What's the problem?"
"What exactly are you? If a better network is successfully built, can you use it to communicate with us?"
"You cannot comprehend my existence. Wait!"
In the next few decades, the empire entered a period of rapid development.
Cameras, phones, gasoline-powered cars, modern medicine, biotechnology.
All fields developed simultaneously, led by Lu Zongyuan, who thus became the father of modern science.
But only Lu Zongyuan and Qin Mu understood that everything came from Chen An.
In the 99th year of Changwu, the first atomic bomb was successfully detonated.
By this time, the Empire's industry had developed to a point close to that of Fuxing.
Qin Mu's confidence soared, and he began to think about war. He wanted to unify the world.
"Senior, is this okay?"
Chen An said: "I have wanted to do this for a long time, but I don't want to disrupt the empire's industrialization. You carry out your plan."
However, a month later, the information that came back was very strange.
"With the help of new fighter jets, we successfully flew over the forbidden area. But there was no other country on the opposite side, but the starry sky." Qin Mu was shocked by this.
Chen An was also shocked.
Why the starry sky?
"You ask them to build network base stations."
Qin Mu said, "We have to cross thousands of kilometers of desert and face various natural disasters. It's not easy to build a network."
"Then launch the satellite as soon as possible. It would be even better if we have a satellite network."
Seven months later, the Empire's first rocket took off, successfully sending a satellite into the atmosphere.
