"This... this is impossible. How can Daxia have a telescope? Glass, you can actually make glass?"
Qin Yun spread his hands and said, "Is it difficult? Heating the quartz sand and shaping it! We can not only make glass, but also all kinds of glass vessels."
George: "William, there must be a traitor among us Westerners. I told you that it was the sound of a steam engine. You must not believe it!"
Qin Yun was startled, and he keenly captured a piece of news.
Although this era has some similarities with previous historical eras, they are two worlds after all.
Qin Yun originally thought that since gunpowder had not been invented, steam engines had not yet appeared in the West.
But in fact, steam engines and gunpowder are not directly related.
However, if there is a steam engine in the West, it means that the industrial revolution has begun. Is the Age of Discovery coming?
Qin Yun smiled and said: "I don't know your names yet, why don't you introduce them?"
The leader said: "I am Sir William, and my father is the Earl of the Rhine. These two are my friends who grew up together, George and James."
Qin Yun nodded: "My name is Qin Yun. As you can see, I am the king of this land. I don't care what purpose you have in coming to the east, but there is one thing I want to tell you."
"We welcome friends and you are welcome to do business, but if you have other purposes, then don't worry, I am rude!"
William said: "Honorable King of the East, we spread the gospel of God with the greatest sincerity."
Qin Yun smiled: "There is no need for gods here. Our gods are ourselves and our people. I know some of your Western myths, such as Noah's Ark."
Qin Yun was testing whether the West knew the same as his previous life.
George exclaimed: "He actually knows about Noah's Ark. This king of the East has never been to the Western countries, right?"
William interrupted: "Calm down and don't interrupt this great king."
"Qin, I not only come to spread the gospel of God, but also bring science. Do you know that the sun and moon do not actually revolve around the land under our feet?"
"But we revolve around the sun and the moon."
"The ground beneath our feet is a ball. We are in the Western Hemisphere and you are in the Eastern Hemisphere."
Shen Wansan cursed loudly: "Fuck you, the Kyushu of the Central Plains is the center of everything in the universe. What do you barbarians know?"
"As the ancients said, the sky is round and the earth is round. Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you have come all the way!"
Qin Yun waved his hand to interrupt Shen Wansan.
He said: "Not only do I know that the earth is round and that it revolves around the sun, I also know that there is a fertile land on the other side of the sea."
"You don't need to use these things to fool me, because I know much more than you think."
The three of them took a deep breath. Sure enough, there was a traitor in the West.
William: "Qin, since you know this, you should understand that we can come to you across half of the world. We wait for the strength of the Western countries. In my place, milk and honey flow, and there is no need for human work. Instead, Steam machinery.”
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Really? Then why didn't I see you driving the steamship?"
The three of them looked at each other. In fact, the three of them did not tell the truth. That is, the West is currently at war with each other. The emergence of new technologies has brought unprecedented prosperity, but with the increase, they have begun to expand outwards in an orderly manner.
The three William men were just pioneers. They traveled thousands of miles along the coast to Luzon in the name of missionary work. After getting a preliminary understanding of the situation in Daxia, they slowly rushed to Qiongzhou.
But who would have thought that during this round-the-world trip, they would be caught as soon as they landed.
The reason was that they were chasing an old fisherman to spread the gospel of the Lord. The old fisherman pretended to be a convert at first and took them into his home with good food and drinks.
But he turned around and told the Security Department about their news.
Just kidding, that’s fifty taels of snowflakes and silver. If you don’t make money, you’ll make it in vain.
In this way, the three people were sadly imprisoned here.
They marveled at Qin Yun's erudition and insight.
At this time, Shen Wansan was furious: "Qin Yun, don't listen to their nonsense. You are the prince of Daxia, so you can't believe their crooked ways."
Qin Yun smiled: "Master Shen, if you go to the primary school I run in Qiongzhou to attend a class, you will know how basic their content is."
"What elementary school?"
Qin Yun didn't bother to explain, he was going to take these bumpkins and foreign potatoes to see them.
"Zhao Kun!"
"The humble position is here."
"Arrange a steam carriage and I will take them on a parade!"
"promise!"
When everyone heard that they could go out, they were very happy.
Not long after, everyone came to the Wangfu Avenue.
In fact, the steam carriage does not have horses, but is a steam-powered vehicle that uses wood as the driving force. This thing was naturally invented by Lu Ban, not to mention that only one thousand kilograms of wood is needed for 100 kilometers...
Of course, the practicality of this thing is worrying, after all, who is dragging a thousand kilograms of wood around.
And when using coal, we can't make it as big as steam ships and steam trains.
So this thing is just useless.
But that was in Qin Yun's eyes, and in the eyes of the three foreign potatoes, they could only be described as shocked.
"This magical Eastern country, our steam engines are only used to make cloth now, but they are already on the road."
"This road is too wide, it's flat and bright!"
"Look, what is that? It's a factory, it seems to be a shipyard."
"The great eastern country, this is where miracles happen."
George took out his sketchbook and started describing all this with charcoal. Zhao Kun wanted to scold him.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Let them draw it. To be truly powerful, you don't need to worry about the covetousness of villains."
"Master Shen, you must have never seen this vitality and the explosion of all things!"
Shen Wansan rolled his eyes at Qin Yun, "I just arrived and before I could eat Wenchang Mansion's specialty coconut chicken, you kid locked me up. I see you are a grandma..."
Qin Yun looked at Hong Haoxuan: "Commander Hong, what do you think?"
Hong Haoxuan: "Oh..."
Qin Yun said to Zhao Kun: "Go to Wenchang Primary School!"
"yes."
Not long after, the steam train stopped outside the gate of the primary school, and the principal of the primary school, Meiren Zhou, who was also Qin Yun, went out to greet her personally.
"I've met the prince!"
"Li Li, I'm here to check your teaching results today."
Zhou Meiniang blushed: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to my principal's office and I will report to you alone!"
Qin Yun coughed lightly, and Zhou Meiniang looked at Shen Wansan and others behind Qin Yun. A flash of disappointment flashed in her eyes. It turned out that the prince did not come to see her in person.
"Your Majesty, please come inside, do you want to inform the students to come out?"
"No need, just follow the class."
"Man's original nature is good..."
"x, y, z, hook three strings, four strings and five..."
"Come and read with me, Gong Shang Yu Hui Jiao, Doremi Fa Sola Shi..."
"Ask under what circumstances does uniform linear motion become accelerated motion?"
"..."
Shen Wansan understood what he could understand, and William and the other three understood what they could understand.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Yes, I have inherited traditional culture and opened their eyes to the world. These will be our talents in Qiongzhou in the next ten years. Thank you for your hard work, Mei Niang!"
Zhou Meiniang's eyes were slightly moist: "Your Majesty, it's not hard for me!"
"But why did the prince bring some foreign bandits here?"
Qin Yun smiled and said, "They are just foreign potatoes who have never seen the world."
"Okay, you're busy."
"Zhao Kun, where are you going next?"
Zhao Kun understood the idea and bowed: "Your Majesty, our coastal defense regiment and the Security Department have jointly staged a performance. No. A003 of the Gengzi Year. Please come and give guidance."
Qin Yun smiled: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
But Shen Wansan paused on the spot, looking at a book of "Ninety Thousand Whys" and was surprisingly stunned! It was dictated by Qin Yun, recorded by Zhou Meiniang all night long, and the illustrator also created interesting question and answer panels.
"A strange book, the most amazing book in the world!"
Qin Yun was speechless.
"Master Shen, let's go!"
Shen Wansan reluctantly put down "Ninety Thousand Whys" and walked out of Wenchang Primary School in three steps.
He sighed: "Qin Yun, if you had told me earlier that you had these things, why would I have stopped your marriage to Yue Yatou?"
"Oh, it's too late!"
Qin Yun did not speak, but jumped onto the steam car.
"You are wrong, everything has just begun!"
"The patch should be added tomorrow. It has started to recover. Thank you for your support, friends. Thank you."
