Newton looked at Hu Xier's face with fear and nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
Hu Xier showed her kitchen knife, and the cold light hurt her eyes: "Don't cause trouble for me."
Newton swallowed his saliva and repeatedly said that he would never cause trouble for you.
In the past few days, what Newton was most afraid of was Hu Xi'er. I really didn't know that Mo Cheng could handle Hu Xi'er.
This is many times more difficult than solving a math problem.
At this time, Stephenson came over with a smile, looked at Hu Xier and said politely: "Sorry, madam, it seems that I came at the wrong time. I will come to visit another day."
Stephenson apologized, put on his hat and left.
The scene where Hu Xier threatened Newton just now really scared Stephenson a bit.
Seeing that there were strangers there, and thinking of what she had just done, Hu Xier's face turned red.
Why is there anyone else here?
She glared at Newton angrily, as if asking him why others didn't tell her when he came.
Newton didn't dare to speak. She had already told Hu Xier about this.
He once gave an explanation, but his end was very tragic.
Hu Xi'er withdrew her sharp gaze and looked at the stranger. She changed her embarrassed expression and smiled: "I'm sorry for making you laugh. That's it. My husband, Mo Cheng, and I are temporarily staying at Newton's house. We don't think there's anything wrong with it." If you can repay them, I will cook some food for the two of them."
Just as Stephenson was about to leave, he also had an embarrassed smile when he heard Hu Xi'er's words: "Oh, so that's it. You and your husband are living in Newton..."
Halfway through his words, Stephenson suddenly realized that something was not right there.
husband? Sojourn?
Stephenson looked at Newton blankly, what does it mean, what does it mean to be a sojourner, what does it mean that someone has a husband.
I haven’t been your wife for a long time.
"Newton, it turns out you're not married yet." Stephenson suddenly lost the joy of gossip.
Newton was about to explain something when he suddenly felt a murderous aura, which frightened him into a thin sneer on his forehead.
If looks could kill, Newton would have died hundreds of times by now.
Newton swallowed and saw Hu Xier's knife-like eyes staring at him.
Hu Xier opened her mouth and said quietly but with murderous intent: "I'll think about it before I answer."
Newton's face was calm, but his heart was occupied by fear. He laughed dryly and said: "I told you that she was the wife of a friend, but you must have misunderstood."
When saying this, Newton blinked his eyes quickly, as if to say: 'Brother, I said this, don't forget it. '
Stephenson didn't react and said blankly: "That's what you said at the time."
Hearing these words, Newton felt that the murderous aura was disappearing, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"But you don't seem to have said that." Stephenson thought about it and said again.
Newton's loosened string tightened again. He glanced at Hu Xi'er and ran away like the wind. As he ran away, he said, "I'll go ask Mo Cheng for dinner."
Hu Xier watched him go upstairs and hide in the laboratory, paying no attention to him.
She looked at Stephenson with a smile and asked: "Please wait a moment, I am preparing two dishes."
Although Hu Xier's words sounded calm, when they fell into Stephenson's ears, they were words that could not be rejected.
Stephenson sat before the meal.
It didn't take long for the dishes to be served.
Mo Cheng was also dragged out by Newton. In essence, Mo Cheng was in the same situation as Newton, but Mo Cheng's situation was slightly better.
But it also requires someone to drag it out before you can eat.
Mo Cheng was shielded by Newton and reached the dining table.
Newton introduced everyone to Stephenson, and everyone introduced themselves to Stephenson.
Stephen Sun was surprised by Mo Cheng's identity. He was actually a scientist from Long Yan. You must know that the giant steam engine was imported from Long Yan.
Stephenson's favorable impression of Mocheng has reached a new level.
He has been exposed to steam engines used to pump water in coal mines since he was a child, and he has a natural hobby for steam engines.
When he thought that Long Yan could develop a powerful steam engine like a giant steam engine, Stephenson was full of respect for Long Yan people.
Especially after learning that Mo Cheng had also participated in the research on giant steam engines.
"Oh, then why, the British royal family does not allow Mr. Mocheng to participate in the research of the Dreadnought-class battleship. With his participation, our progress should be much faster." Stephenson said simply.
Newton was told the reason, so he remained silent.
Mo Cheng and Hu Xier looked at Stephenson and fell into silence.
Looking at the silent crowd, Stephenson did not realize what a stupid question he had asked, but continued: "What, did I say something wrong?"
After a long time, Hu Xier said calmly: "Mr. Stephenson, just because we are Longyan people, we must not participate in the research of the Dreadnought-class battleship."
"Knowledge still has national boundaries."
Only then did Stephenson realize what this sentence meant. He nodded: "I understand, I'm sorry."
Hu Xier did not continue to speak.
The scene fell into an awkward atmosphere for a time.
Newton reluctantly broke the deadlock and said with a smile: "I invited Mr. Stephenson here today because he has an idea and wants to discuss it with Mocheng."
"Don't worry, it's about academics."
Hearing this, Mo Cheng became more energetic and asked, "Does Mr. Stephenson have anything to communicate with me?"
Facing Mo Cheng's inquiry, Stephenson showed an embarrassed smile.
He came from a relatively humble background, and he was able to participate in the research on the Dreadnought-class battleships entirely because he knew too much about steam engines.
That's why George III allowed him to join the research team.
"Well, I have an idea. Just think about it. Steam engines can provide power for ships. They can provide power for ships weighing several tons and make them travel quickly. So why can't steam engines provide power for carriages?"
"If steam engines could power horse-drawn carriages, we would have land-based ships that could transport more goods over land."
"This will provide greater possibilities for our current transportation industry?" Stephenson said excitedly.
After hearing this idea, both Newton and Mo Cheng fell into silence.
They had never imagined Stephenson's proposal.
But I feel that this future will definitely come true!
Stephenson is right, there should be similar machines in the future.
Like this kind of machine.
"Your proposal is very good and I think it is very challenging, but it is a bit unrealistic now and I don't think it can be realized." Newton gave his own opinion.
