late at night. Qi Lengzi snored like thunder.
Li Zhen sat outside the door, reflecting the moonlight.
Holding a needle in his right hand, he kept pricking his left arm, one needle after another.
Painful sweat rolled down his face, but there was no expression on his face. He just looked at the two words on the paper and his arm intently.
Over an hour later, under the ink. Two small characters appeared on the arm - Zhang Zhi.
Looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, he laughed: "This way I won't forget it. Even if this piece of paper is gone, I won't forget these two words."
My heart ached.
"But what do these two words mean? Why am I afraid that I will forget."
“…”
——
"Li Zhen, I have a letter from you."
"Thanks."
"Won't."
After sending away the classmate who delivered the letter, Li Zhen quickly walked into his dormitory with a letter sealed with fire paint.
Just taking a look at the signature on the envelope and the fact that the address was from the capital, Li Zhen's heart was beating wildly and he was very nervous.
'My junior fellow apprentice personally initiated it. '
In the capital, there is only one person who can call himself a disciple, and that is Xun Shifei, the current prince of the East Palace.
"Qi Lengzi, close the door and don't let anyone in."
"yes!"
With a bang, the door closed. Li Zhen quickly walked to the bed and sat down. He felt uneasy because he didn't know why the prince suddenly wrote to him.
'Silla' tore open the fire paint seal, and Li Zhen shook out a piece of letter paper:
My brother has heard about what happened to me in the Eight Dragon City. This was a result of the Eighth Prince and Du Taiping's leadership, which caused the court to treat you coldly. I apologize for getting you involved in the whirlpool of the prince's dispute. When Brother Wei arrived at Balong City, you had already left Zhongzhou, and you felt guilty. I didn't appear by your side when you needed my support the most.
Juniors don’t need to worry. I will help you move around Zhongzhou. My father is older and you will one day return to Balong City. soon.
Eat well and wear warm clothes in Dongzhou, don't treat yourself badly.
I remember you said in Jinzhou County two months ago that a steam engine would appear within three years. Brother, I can't wait. I hope you can return to Balong City and work with me to make this Kyushu prosperous.
-complete.
Looking at this letter, Li Zhen's heart started to beat wildly, and he stared at the passage over and over with his eyes wide open: "Father is older, you will one day return to the Eight Dragons City, very soon Soon."
What does this mean
What does this mean
Li Zhen made a bold assumption, couldn't Xun Shifei wait any longer
Both inside and outside the words, Xun Shifei showed a sense of urgency. He was eager to get on top. He can't wait
Li Zhen only felt chilled all over. Was he going to participate in an ordinary catastrophe? Or is it the wealth in danger
I thought hard for a long time, but I was not sure what the prince's true thoughts were. But my heart is warmer.
The letter first stated how guilty he felt about himself, which showed that Xun Shifei was very humane and truly regarded himself as a confidant. It would not be a loss to defect to the princelings this time.
Secondly, inform yourself about a sensitive topic tactfully. He trusts himself. Although Li Zhen didn't dare to believe that the prince really couldn't wait any longer, which was treasonous, but he could say such superficial words, which shows his trust in Li Zhen.
Finally, he revealed his hope that he would make a difference in Dongzhou as soon as possible. Lay the foundation.
After seeing through the main idea of the letter, Li Zhen couldn't wait any longer and started gearing up: "It's time for me to do something."
"Okay, steam engine. Then steam engine!"
“…”
"What? Li Zhen wants to restore the steam engine?"
"Hahaha, are you kidding? Although I admit that Li Zhen's knowledge level is superhuman, he is too arrogant. Is this something you can recover if you want to?"
"With today's scientific level, restoring the steam engine is just a dream."
"No one knows the principle of the steam engine. They only know that it is a mechanical heart that can change the progress of the world."
"No, it is a machine that provides power. There are clear records in ancient books. Today's power can basically be divided into human power and horse power. The role of the steam engine is to replace human power and horse power. In the future, carriages can run without horses. It's faster. This is probably a steam engine. But it's difficult because no one knows what it is."
"Li Zhen is a little too whimsical."
"But science requires bold assumptions and careful verification. I support Li Zhen's whims."
“…”
The entire Fuxing University was in a state of excitement. Everyone heard the news that Li Zhen was going to launch an activity to restore the steam engine.
After the school held a meeting and discussed it, Fuxing University approved a special fund of 50,000 yuan for Li Zhen to fund his scientific research on restoring the steam engine.
This matter has been officially recognized, and no one can say that it is a rumor. However, no one believed he could succeed.
Maybe 50,000 yuan will be wasted, but the school will still allocate funds.
Because Fuxing University adheres to the scientific concept, as long as you have an idea, as long as they think it is feasible, they will support you. This is the privilege of students in this era, and it is also a happiness for students in this era.
In the southeast corner of the school, a large auditorium was allocated to Li Zhen as his scientific research laboratory.
Li Zhen was not the only one in this auditorium, there were three other people besides Li Zhen. One is Liu Jinghong, a senior in the Department of Physics in the sixth grade.
One is Qin Enze.
There is also one named Fang Hanxian. Both of them were freshmen who entered school at the same time as Li Zhen.
Liu Jinghong once challenged Li Zhen and was impressed by Li Zhen's detailed explanation of the principle of leverage. When he heard that Li Zhen wanted to build a steam engine, he came to work passionately and wanted to work with Li Chen.
Qin Enze and Fang Hanxian were full of awe for this classmate at the same time. They had a mysterious trust in Li Zhen and felt that he could succeed. They are more passionate and generous, and they want to witness this historic moment. It doesn’t matter if you fail.
What is worth mentioning is that Fang Hanxian is a disabled person. He has six fingers on his right hand, which is considered a disability in Kyushu. He has extremely low self-esteem, but he also works very hard.
"Li Zhen, if you convert steam into power according to what you said. But I don't think this is feasible at all."
Liu Jinghong frowned and looked at a smoking teapot sitting on the stove: "Look, the water vapor will come out from here. But the power is too weak. Such a big pot of water , its energy is pitifully small. If the principle of the steam engine is really just to use the momentum of steam, wouldn't it have been studied long ago? This power is too small, it should not be the principle of the steam engine. "
Li Zhen kept drawing pictures on the paper and said casually: "That's right, this is the principle of the steam engine. But... I have a difficult problem now."
"what is the problem?"
"That's the problem you mentioned... low steam utilization."
