Ming Dynasty Shuntian Mansion, the capital of the Forbidden City.
The Ming Emperor Zhu Jianyan and his wife, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Zhongliang and his wife, and four emperors and empresses from two generations.
We gathered together to drink tea and chat in Qianqing Palace, waiting for news from the Dashi Kingdom.
These four people are not very nervous now.
Zhu Jingyuan's performance so far has been very good, and both of his concubines were pregnant within three months.
Even if there is a problem with the production this time, we can just make arrangements for it later.
But the expectations in my heart are still very high.
The fact that these four people can gather together and wait for news is enough to show how seriously they take this matter.
The four people waited for most of the day, and when they were getting a little anxious, a new telegram from the Dashi Country finally arrived.
The situation of Zhu Jingyuan, Liu Muyun and their children, as well as Zhu Jingyuan's preliminary name for their son, were all presented to the two generations of emperors and empresses.
The names of the children of the Ming Dynasty clan were decided by the parents themselves first, and then reported to the clan's mansion and entered into the clan's jade certificate.
If the name is inappropriate or conflicts with someone from the same generation or family, the other party must be notified to change or create a new name.
The Supreme Emperor Zhu Zhongliang was the first to receive the telegram.
Now the manuscripts coming out of the Forbidden City's telegraph room are printed on typewriters, making them more convenient and intuitive to read than before.
Zhu Zhongliang took one look and smiled:
"Okay, okay, this is a good name..."
Zhu Jianyan took the telegraph newspaper from his father and was obviously relieved after reading it.
Mother and son are safe, and she has given birth to another grandson, mainly because Zhu Jingyuan, her precious son, has also given birth to a child.
However, what makes Zhu Jianyan a little concerned is that Zhu Jingyuan chose this word for his son's name.
This is an absolutely rare word, coined by Emperor Shizu.
Creating characters is not a particularly special thing. Chinese characters themselves were created by ancient people.
The key is that Emperor Shizu did not give it any meaning, but also put it into the universal standard Chinese character list.
Later, it was his father who used it as the name of a newly discovered metal element, which finally gave it a connotation.
At that time, many people lamented privately, saying that Emperor Taiping was wiping the ass of the living emperor's willful behavior.
Now Zhu Jingyuan has used this word again.
Zhu Jianyan looked at his father very curiously at this time:
"Father, what exactly is so good about this word?"
Zhu Zhongliang was stunned for a moment, then explained with a smile:
"The eldest grandson of Emperor Shizu was named with this word..."
Zhu Yiyan, Zhu Cihong's first grandson, is Zhu Jianyan's great-uncle.
Zhu Jianyan thought of this name.
This word was coined at that time, and then became the special word for this great-great-grandfather's name.
Zhu Jianyan became even more confused:
"Both you and Emperor Shizu seem to like this word very much, and Jingyuan also seems to like this word.
"So besides the metallic element it represents, does this word have any other special meaning?
"Why did Emperor Shizu and Jingyuan both choose it immediately when it was the next generation's turn to look at the word "gold"?"
Zhu Zhongliang narrowed his eyes with a smile:….
"Its meaning is this metal. This metal has a great meaning. You will know what it means after a while.
[In other words, it is currently the best to use for reading and listening to books. Change the source and install the latest version. 】
"Let's take a guess now, whether Jingyuan will name his second son 'Plutonium.'"
Zhu Jianyan remembered again that he had a great-great-grandfather named Zhu Yipu.
This character "plutonium" was also coined by Emperor Shizu at that time, and it was also forcibly included in the universal standard Chinese character list.
And plutonium is different from uranium, and this word has no other uses yet.
Someone once suggested that
A newly discovered metal element was named plutonium, which took the blame away from Emperor Shizu.
Zhu Zhongliang had done this operation himself, so it can be regarded as a precedent.
As a result, this suggestion was decisively rejected by Zhu Zhongliang.
Zhu Jianyan, who was a son, felt outrageous when he thought about this incident.
No matter how Zhu Jianyan asked, Zhu Zhongliang would not tell the real reason and insisted on waiting for Zhu Jingyuan's second son to be born.
Zhu Jianyan couldn't force his father, so he could only endure his curiosity first, which would not affect his work anyway.
I shouldn't have to wait too long, the fastest is two months, and the slowest is one or two years. Who knows, that kid Jingyuan is quite capable of giving birth.
Zhu Jianyan did not wait too long. Two months later, Yu Muxue also gave birth to a son for Zhu Jingyuan.
As expected, Zhu Jingyuan decisively named him Zhudi Plutonium.
When the news reached the capital, Zhu Zhongliang laughed very happily, and Zhu Jianyan asked his father again for help.
Zhu Zhongliang did not shirk anymore this time and took Zhu Jianyan to the dormitory.
Zhu Jianyan took a bath and changed clothes very seriously according to his father's request.
Then he screened away everyone around him, including the two empresses, leaving only the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty on the scene.
Zhu Jianyan followed his father into a separate small room and came to a wall.
Under Zhu Zhongliang's instructions, Zhu Jianyan pressed several times in succession, and a hidden grid appeared on the brick wall.
There was a small metal suitcase in a hidden compartment.
Zhu Jianyan's eyes widened. He had lived here for a year and still hadn't noticed that there was such a thing here.
Under Zhu Zhongliang's instructions, Zhu Jianyan took out the suitcase from the secret compartment and placed it on the table in the room.
Zhu Zhongliang took out a key from his pocket and opened the lock on the box.
Zhu Jianyan glanced subconsciously and found several hand-bound books inside the box.
Zhu Zhongliang looked at these pamphlets, his expression became very solemn, and he said with emotion:
"This is the last instruction left by Shizu to the Ming Dynasty emperor. Emperors of all dynasties call it Shizu's legacy.
"Your first year has passed smoothly, and now I can officially hand it over to you.
"This object is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty, so only the Ming Emperor can view it.
"Remember not to reveal it to anyone, including your wife, concubines, and children.
"Originally, you have to carefully seal it properly. Make a copy of your daily routine by yourself.
"In order to avoid errors in copying and memory, the manuscript must not be passed down to future generations as the original version, but the original version can only be passed down as the original version. …
"When the heir succeeds to the throne, he will burn his manuscripts.
"No two testaments shall remain in the hands of two persons."
Zhu Jianyan listened to his father's arrangements and understood a lot of things instantly.
Emperor Shizu left a lot of information. In addition to a large number of public technologies, there is also a lot that has not been made public.
This posthumous chapter in the hands of emperors of all dynasties is information that has not been made public.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty occasionally made some special decisions that ordinary people found completely unbelievable.
For example, the conquest of the Persian Gulf, such as providing benefits and protection to workers, such as the two words created by Emperor Shizu.
There are also many technologies and designs that were suddenly proposed by the Ming Emperor and directly instructed the Ministry of Industry and the royal consortium to develop them.
The real reasons for these decisions, the real source of these technologies and designs, should be this legacy.
Zhu Jianyan's mood became excited again.
The posthumous chapter left by Emperor Shizu is a special instruction for the emperor. Its importance is self-evident.
Now that it has been passed to him, he can be regarded as the real Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that his son was obviously lost in thought, Zhu Zhongliang reminded him again:
"You take out the third volume and look at the last few pages. Emperor Shizu is there.
The reason for creating those two metal characters.
"Please read carefully, this is an authentic work left by Emperor Shizu..."
Without his father's reminder, Zhu Jianyan was already extremely cautious.
He took out the third volume, opened the contents from back to front, and read a few paragraphs according to his father's instructions.
Zhu Jianyan looked at the contents and slowly widened his eyes:
"Directly destroy a city, directly level a city to the ground, kill hundreds of thousands of people in an instant.
"There is also silent energy that can slowly destroy a person's body...
"Emperor Shizu also specifically stated that this is not an exaggerated statement like the one that has been corrupted for dozens of miles, but an objective statement.
"How is this possible... This can't be... it's all true..."
Zhu Zhongliang nodded slightly and said:
"I found it unbelievable at first, but other predictions left by Emperor Shizu have been verified countless times.
"There have been no obvious errors in the contents of Shizu's Posthumous Chapter so far, so it is credible."
There was a huge wave in Zhu Jianyan's mind.
The power of radioactive weapons is beyond most people's knowledge.
Moreover, Zhu Jianyan quickly thought of another question and said with some surprise:
"Why does Jingyuan use two words? Does he already know these contents? Father has already shown Jingyuan the legacy of Emperor Shizu?"
Zhu Zhongliang was a little excited this time:
"He should know these contents, but I'm sure he hasn't read the Shizu Posthumous Chapter.
"He should be the same as Emperor Shizu, he is a genius who knows it directly from birth.
“And based on my observation, he probably knows more than Emperor Shizu.
"So Jingyuan, he doesn't even need to read the legacy of the ancestors..."
Zhu Jianyan was obviously stunned for a few seconds.
Most people would not believe this kind of thing when they are born with knowledge. ….
But after Emperor Shizu, many people believed it, especially the emperors of the past dynasties.
There is no other explanation for the things Emperor Shizu left behind except that he was born with knowledge.
What's more, a similar situation has appeared with Zhu Jingyuan now.
After the scene was quiet for a few seconds, Zhu Jianyan said with some surprise:
"So...it's because Jingyuan...is the same as Emperor Shizu, that's why you changed your mind at the last minute..."
Zhu Zhongliang did not answer directly, apparently acquiescing to this guess, but he comforted Zhu Jianyan and said:
"You don't need to be discouraged. All children who have passed the assessment have their abilities recognized.
"It would be troublesome if Jingyuan was born into a family of children who failed the examination, or even into a distant clan clan or even into a poor family."
Zhu Jianyan nodded silently.
It's okay to be born into a clan family. After all, he is also a member of the royal family, and his fundamental interests are the same as those of the royal family.
If you were born into a poor family, you might become the enemy of the royal family.
The abilities Zhu Jingyuan has shown and the things he has invented are enough to build a super business empire.
It may even affect the status of the royal consortium.
In fact, there are worse situations.
If this kind of life had happened in Taixi, it would have been difficult for the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Jianyan couldn't help but mutter:
"God bless me brightly..."
Zhu Zhongliang nodded after hearing this:
"There hasn't been anything big happening recently. Read the third and fourth volumes as soon as possible and make a copy for yourself.
"Many things in the future may require the above content as a reference.
"For example, plutonium, it is best not to use it to name other metals, but to reserve it for the element predicted by Emperor Shizu.
"Jingyuan might be able to make this thing, but it would be more troublesome to name it separately."
Zhu Jianyan nodded repeatedly as he listened, finally understanding his father's original decision.
Why did I decide to name the new metal after uranium instead of plutonium for the new metal element?
Because the one named uranium is the uranium designated by Emperor Shizu.
The plutonium designated by Emperor Sejo has not yet appeared, so he does not agree to use this word for other metals. .
