The crimson clouds in the west began to fade, replaced by nightfall.
On this side of the hillside, a few tired birds returned to their nests and entered the forest; on the other side of the hillside, there were two young people chatting.
After having a light meal, Qi Xiao and Chu Zhongtian went to the hot air balloon to guard it to prevent passers-by from accidentally destroying it.
This toy has a novel appearance and is bound to be picked up by curious passers-by to study.
So, it’s better to keep a close eye on it!
In addition to the care work, Chu Zhongtian also specially brought the 'kerosene gas lamp', and he planned to conduct on-site experiments here after dark.
Since it was still early, the two began to discuss knowledge.
Communicating with experts is a rare opportunity for improvement, so Chu Zhongtian enjoys it very much.
Qi Xiao also spoke highly of him.
In the traditional culture of "teaching apprentices to starving masters to death", it is not uncommon to cherish one's own skills.
He is willing to share with others, which is very generous.
However, Qi Xiao wanted to know more than exchanging knowledge, what was Chu Zhongtian's motivation for making this invention?
His family is poor, and playing with these things that are not suitable for eating or drinking is far less practical than having a bucket of rice in his belly.
That being the case, why did he have to do this?
Finally, Qi Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Chu Zhongtian seemed to have something to hide, he was hesitant and speechless.
After a while, he seemed to let go of his worries and told the reason.
"As I said before, the purpose of my research on this lamp is really for lighting at night. My mother's eyesight is very bad, and it is difficult to see clearly under the flame of a candle, so I made up my mind to develop this lamp... "
"Tsk tsk! Brother Chu is really a filial piety, Qi really admires him!"
Qi Xiao first praised, and then asked: "For now, kerosene is still a scarce commodity, and except for military factories, others are basically inaccessible. If this is the case, where did Brother Chu get it? ?”
Chu Zhongtian sighed softly and said: "To be honest with you, Sir, my father asked me to come here through personal connections..."
What?
Do you still have a father?
I thought you were a single parent!
However, when Qi Xiao thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: He didn't say clearly that he didn't have a father? It seems that my personal thinking is too speculative.
"Excuse me, sir, what do you call me?"
"My father's name is taboo, Sun Yue Gong!"
"What? You said you are Sun Bao's son?"
"Well……"
Apart from anything else, the age difference is not that big!
Could it be that that old, corrupt, old cow is eating young grass and secretly raising a house outside?
Seeing that Qi Xiao seemed to have a misunderstanding, Chu Zhongtian quickly gave a detailed explanation.
According to him, this was an unlucky debt left over ten years ago.
At that time, Sun Yue was named in the Gongjin List and passed the first-class tribute examination, which was a great success.
However, he was unlucky.
Because he wrote his name vertically and too sloppily, Emperor Taizong misread it as "Sun Bao". So, on the grounds that his name was indecent, he was completely excluded from the imperial examination.
Sun Yuegong, who gave up on himself, began to become moody after returning to Qiong. He often took out his anger on his family members by insulting him. It was at that time that he divorced his young concubine Chu due to a short-circuit in his brain.
Later, Qi Yu came to Qiongzhou and auditioned talents, and he finally saw the light of day.
Time flies and flies by.
It was not until the beginning of this year that Sun Yue Gong suddenly learned that the Chu family that Xiu had abandoned back then was actually pregnant at the time. Moreover, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy the following year.
Although the Chu family was a woman, she adhered to the concept of chastity and never served two husbands, so she and her son lived together.
As for his son, he could only choose to take his mother's surname and name him Chu Zhongtian.
After hearing the news, Sun Yue Gong burst into tears and regretted it. However, mistakes have been made, and we can only make up for them as much as possible.
Give money, give rice, give connections!
But Ms. Chu was determined not to want any of these. She also said: "I will starve to death without eating the food that comes to me."
Sun Yue Gong was disappointed and had to leave angrily.
Later, he accidentally learned that his son was asking for help from everyone to borrow kerosene, so he worked through his connections.
After obtaining it, entrust others to transfer it as a gift.
Sun Bao was a senior professor in Qiongzhou Province. He was famous all over the world and his prestige was extraordinary. Even the new scholars Tao Ci and Lai Dayuan were his disciples. So with his current status, there is absolutely no difficulty in blending some kerosene.
Even the officials in the military department have to treat him a little bit thinly.
The above is the cause and effect.
The two of them, one spoke sincerely and the other listened carefully, did not notice Qi Yu and his entourage who were listening secretly.
In fact, Qi Dalang found this place half an hour ago.
It was about his son's safety, how could he dare to waste even a moment?
Besides, this is still a search for someone in one's own territory, what's so difficult about it?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the scouts who were out to explore the location of the hot air balloon Qi Xiao had left in the wild.
The reason why he didn't show up was mainly because Qi Dalang saw the bright 'kerosene gas lamp'.
He also wanted to know how bright this lamp was.
Regarding this type of lamps, he had the idea of manufacturing them a long time ago. However, because Qi Xiao was too busy, he was never assigned to research and develop this item.
However, he didn't expect that someone would actually walk in front of him.
This also directly proves that the creativity of our Chinese people is infinite. As long as you can pave the way forward, they can fly forward.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, your education must keep up.
It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.
Education must be down-to-earth and one step at a time. There are no shortcuts. Moreover, students must be taught in accordance with their aptitude and trained in all aspects.
If it's just rote memorization in exam-oriented education, how can the people be creative?
First, you have to learn to think independently!
For example, why does an apple fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky, etc.
Before that, Qi Yu kept complaining about the Polytechnic: The liberal arts have cultivated talents like Guo Chunhai, Tao Ci, and Lai Dayuan. When will the fruit trees of our sciences bear decent fruits?
Now, I finally see it!
It has to be said that the genes of the old beast Sun Bao are indeed strong, and the son he gave birth to is as talented as him.
While I was sighing, I suddenly heard Chu Zhongtian say: "It's dark now, we can test the lights."
Qi Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I can't wait any longer!"
