After returning to Prince Qin’s Mansion.
Li Chengqian seemed to be a different person.
It doesn't have the same decadence as outside, and has completely returned to its former cynical appearance.
Occasionally, when he passed by the maids, he would make some teasing remarks.
"Tui'er, His Highness is back, come and let me hug you."
"Look at Cui'er, she has really grown up. Come and let me feel how much she has grown."
The little maid was made red-faced by his words, and she only said: "Your Highness is talking nonsense, I am so embarrassed."
Then the little maid named Cui'er ran away quickly.
To be honest, seeing him like this, Xiao Chuzi's expression was as wonderful as a rainbow.
What's going on with your Highness?
When you were outside, your face was full of loss and melancholy. Why did your face change after entering the house?
And just when Xiao Chuzi was full of doubts.
Li Chengqian suddenly slowed down and walked side by side with him.
As Li Chengqian walked away, he whispered: "No one is allowed to tell anyone what happened outside the house today."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuzi hurriedly responded: "I understand, this slave."
"Okay, you go down first."
Just as the little Chuzi was about to leave, Li Chengqian suddenly stopped him and ordered: "Go to the kitchen first and tell me that I want to eat fried meat with garlic sprouts, and then go and get me a pen and ink. I want to draw a picture."
"Your Highness, I'll be ready soon."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Chuzi stepped forward.
Li Chengqian returned to the main house alone.
He looked up at the incense burner with green smoke rising slowly, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
And wait until you have eaten and drank enough.
Li Chengqian actually put pen to paper and began to draw drawings.
Watching Li Chengqian draw on the paper, Xiao Chuzi asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, what are you drawing?"
"Steam engine."
"Steam engine?"
"You can understand that it is an existence that can change this era."
Li Chengqian said without raising his head: "If I can succeed, no matter the Western Turks or the Sixteen Southern Kingdoms, they will only tremble in front of the Tang Dynasty."
"And from now on, we are the only ones who can bully others. No one can bully us."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuzi was stunned for a moment.
Then he couldn't help but lower his head and take another look at the pattern drawn on the paper: "Your Highness, please don't lie to me."
"Although I have little education, I can still see that this is no different from the cooking stoves in ordinary people's homes. How can it be as powerful as you say?"
"That's because it hasn't been done yet."
Li Chengqian lowered his head and concentrated on drawing, but the corners of his mouth were already raised: "Just wait and see, when this thing comes out, you will regret that you dare to question your highness today."
As for how powerful science and technology is, Li Chengqian, as a descendant, has quite a say.
At the earliest, the Dutch used windmills to create the world's first industrial area, and used them as their technological weapons to colonize the world.
Subsequently, the Irish took advantage of the steam engine to launch a technological revolution.
And took advantage of this opportunity to rise and build the country into the world's leading power in one fell swoop.
Now, Li Chengqian has used the wind mill to the extreme.
If he can still build a steam engine now, will weapons such as long guns, short cannons, and even battleships and ships be far away?
Will China, which entered the industrial age nearly 1,300 years ahead of the West, still be bullied by Western powers more than a thousand years later?
Li Chengqian raised his head slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.
If he can succeed this time, this era will definitely be changed.
And what he said, letting everyone in the world learn Chinese will definitely become a reality.
Wait until the drawing is completed.
Li Chengqian still followed the old rules and drew a new backup.
Then, he put the original document into an envelope and handed it to Xiao Chuzi and said, "Send this to the ordnance camp and give it to either Zhu Guang or Tian Xuanzhong."
"No need to say anything else, you just need to tell them and let them forge all the accessories I need as quickly as possible."
"You don't have to care about funding, you don't have to care about what others say, just do what I say."
Hearing this, Xiao Chuzi nodded and said, "I understand, this slave."
After saying that, little Chuzi didn't stop, took the envelope with both hands and walked out.
He glanced at the back of Xiaochuzi as he left.
Li Chengqian slowly turned around and walked towards the bookcase.
From the beginning to the present, no matter what he invented, Li Chengqian would draw two drawings, one original and one prepared.
One was sent to the ordnance camp, and the other was kept with him.
It's not that he has any selfish motives.
Mainly just in case, lest the craftsman be careless and lose or damage the drawings.
After all, inspiration is just like Cao Cao, it comes when he says it.
And once it comes, it won’t stay for too long and will dissipate in an instant.
Instead of racking your brains afterward, it’s better to do everything in advance.
This is Li Chengqian, who always thinks of being prepared for anything he does.
Of course, it was also because of his preparedness that he gave others the opportunity to take advantage of him.
After Li Chengqian put the backup drawings into the cabinet used to store the drawings.
Li Chengqian stretched his waist and walked out of the study.
After glancing at the sun that had begun to set on the horizon, Li Chengqian moved his steps and walked toward the door of the mansion with a smile on his face.
He didn't seem to know at all that there was a pair of eyes watching him motionlessly in the darkness.
…
Li Chengqian left soon.
A figure poked its head out from the corner of the corridor.
Immediately afterwards, the figure was seen heading towards the study very quickly.
After he entered the study, he didn't go anywhere else but went straight to the cabinet containing the drawings.
If it were in someone else's house, it would be a cabinet containing such confidential things.
Or it's just an ordinary iron box, and then it's equipped with a few big locks.
Or just leave dozens of servants here to guard you day and night.
But Li Chengqian's place is better. The cabinet is made of wood, unlocked and unguarded.
With that look, he almost said to the thief: "Come on, steal, everything is inside, I didn't lock it!"
From this, it is not difficult to see how much Li Chengqian trusts the people around him.
After the man opened the cabinet, he didn't need to rummage carefully. He only had to look up and see the drawings Li Chengqian had just drawn.
The man hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took down the drawing.
But when the man looked down, he was stunned.
It is true that the drawing on the drawing is the structural diagram of a steam engine, but below it, there is this line of small words.
"How I wish this never happened..."
When he saw these words, the man was shocked.
But he didn't wait for him to put the drawing back and ran away immediately.
Then he heard a voice coming from behind him: "I thought someone would betray me, but I never thought that the person who betrayed me would be you!"
Hearing this voice, he suddenly looked back.
I saw the person standing behind him. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Chengqian?
When he saw Li Chengqian, he couldn't help but reveal a sad smile: "It turns out that you already knew..."
"If someone hadn't told me."
"I'm afraid that until now, I've been kept in the dark."
Li Chengqian sighed softly, then raised his head and looked at the person in front of him: "Sister Qingci, you really disappoint me."
