Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

This day, Li Xin was at home coaxing the child to sleep. Wang Gui came over suddenly and asked Lu Daren to see him. Li Xin thought that there was something wrong with the experiment of the Ministry of Science, so he asked Wang Gui to let him in.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Daren came in, he had a smile on his face, which was not at all the expression that should be shown when the experiment is not going well.

"My lord! We have created a new thing! You will definitely like it, and the prince can use it!" He said excitedly to Li Xin.

Li Xin couldn't help but look back at his infant child: How can such a small doll be used?

Seeing Lu Daren so enthusiastically calling him over to have a look, although Li Xin was not very interested, he still nodded and entrusted the child to the nanny, while he changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Recently, he has been looking after the children all day long, and he hasn't been to the Science Department for a long time, and he really should go to see it and show his face. Otherwise, this great dean is really incompetent.

The two came to the Science Department by car. Lu Daren led Li Xin to the Academy of Engineering. The further you go there, the more people there are, and the more lively it is, it seems that many people are watching the excitement there.

"You seem to have really made some big moves." Li Xin gradually became a little curious-what can attract so many people to watch? And even Li Daixian, a child who is still breastfeeding, can be used?

Lu Daren said with a smile: "The prince will know it when he sees it."

He took Li Xin to separate from the crowd and came to the very center of the crowd. Situ Liang has already led a large group of graduate students waiting. They were surrounding a strange-looking machine.

Seeing a big stove next to the machine, Li Xin suddenly noticed something.

Should not.

Situ Liang came up and explained: "Ever since we heard that the son was born, our Academy of Engineering has been thinking about whether we can do something for the son. After thinking about it, the son is so young, he must lie in the cradle and be rocked to sleep. However, the cradle is tired after being rocked for a long time, so we thought of making a cradle that can rock automatically."

Lu Daren continued: "Actually, we have had this idea for a long time. We have discovered that boiled water vapor has a lot of energy, and sometimes it can even lift the lid of the kettle, but we didn't think of where to use this force. Now it seems that it is very useful to be used as a cradle."

While listening, Li Xin turned his gaze to the huge machine next to him.

Situ Liang immediately put a dog on the cradle. Under the action of the large boiler next to it, the cradle was shaking steadily. After the initial panic, the put dog calmed down quickly and even enjoyed the rocking.

Seeing such a scene, Li Xin didn't know what to say.

If he understood correctly, what Situ Liang and Lu Daren brought together with this group of students was nothing but a steam engine! Not the Watt one, of course, but the more primitive steam prototype.

But what a machine it is! It's Datang now! Europe is still playing with mud at the moment, and America is still dominated by Indians! We have steam engines in China?

So, this time it's our turn to spread civilization and spread our culture all over the world with strong ships and guns?

Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help giving Situ Liang and Lu Daren a shudder: "I'll make you a cradle! I'll make you a cradle! Do you know what this is?"

Lu Daren and Situ Liang covered their heads and shook their heads aggrievedly: Isn't it just a cradle?

Li Xin shook his head, looked at the steam coming out of the boiler, and said dreamily:

"This is the future."
