"Do they really exist? Aliens?"
Zhu Biao asked Su Jing with a surprised look on his face.
Su Jing did not answer immediately, but looked to the sky and said: "The universe is vast. If there are no other intelligent alien life except us, wouldn't you feel too lonely? Niu Yi."
An important reason why Su Jing was attracted to astronomy in her previous life was the beauty of the vast universe and the possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life.
No, it should be alien intelligent life that must exist.
After hearing this, Zhu Biao thought for a moment and agreed: "Indeed, it is really lonely if we are the only ones in such a vast universe."
"So how do we find aliens?"
Zhu Biao expressed doubts again.
Su Jing shook her head and said: "I don't know, maybe people in the future will know."
Even in the future, when Su Jing lives in modern times and science and technology have developed to a certain extent, it is still not possible to directly discover and talk to aliens.
Now it is only the Ming Dynasty, so it is even less possible.
"If we could fly to those stars, would we be able to find aliens?"
Zhu Biao looked at the bright and beautiful starry sky through the astronomical telescope and asked.
Flying into the sky has been a dream of mankind since ancient times.
"I can answer you this, but I still can't."
Su Jing said directly.
If we fly to the stars, is that a spaceship? We are still far away from finding aliens.
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he couldn't even fly to the stars.
Although he didn't know why Su Jing could answer so directly, he believed in Su Jing.
"Master Su, how can we discover aliens?"
Zhu Biao continued to ask.
Su Jing replied without thinking: "Simple or difficult, just develop science. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. As long as science and technology develops enough, everything is possible."
Even in the era I lived in in my previous life, when technology had developed to a considerable degree, aliens were not discovered.
But just as aliens are bound to exist in the vast universe, human technology will continue to develop, and it is only a matter of time before aliens are discovered.
Science, science and technology!
This is not the first time Zhu Biao heard these two words.
In the past, it was about improving productivity, but now it can even be used to discover aliens.
Does that mean that the shortcomings and potential problems of Ming Dynasty can also be solved?
Zhu Biao continued to look at the beautiful starry sky, and his heart was filled with reverie.
College of Agriculture.
The fifth prince, Zhu Xi, was still studying and recording seriously as usual.
Even though he is only nine years old, he has already shown extraordinary wisdom and patience.
Although Yang Siyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, is busy with official duties, he often runs here because of Zhu Ju's presence.
"Fifth Prince, the irrigation water used in this experimental field is about twice less than normal."
"Fifth Prince, here we try to cover up half of the sunlight."
Yang Siyi followed Zhu Rui and explained it bit by bit.
And Zhu Rui was also very serious in recording. If he didn't understand anything, he would ask Yang Siyi for help.
What surprised Yang Siyi even more was that Zhu not only liked written records, but also drew the shapes of crops.
Zhu Ju has a hand-drawn book that records many of the plants he has painted.
At this time, Zhu Ru came to a plant and observed it carefully.
At this moment, Yang Siyi suddenly found that Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were appearing in front of him, which shocked him.
Yang Siyi was about to kneel down and salute, but saw Queen Ma signaling him to stop talking and leave quickly.
Yang Siyi didn't think much and immediately followed Queen Ma's instructions and left slowly.
Zhu Rui, who was observing intently, didn't notice anything and was completely immersed in his own world.
"Master Yang, what is the name of this grass?"
Zhu Zhu asked while watching, but this time, he did not get an answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Lao Wu, you have learned well."
Hearing this voice, Zhu Xi immediately raised his head and saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
"Father, Queen Mother, why are you here?"
Zhu Xi said with a surprised look on his face.
Although he is very interested in botany, he is still a child after all, so he is naturally happy when his parents come.
Queen Ma said: "Ji'er, you have tanned a lot these days. You must be very tired from working in the fields every day."
As Zhu Rui's biological mother, Queen Ma felt a little sad when she saw this.
"When I report back to my mother, my children are not tired, and my children are very happy."
Zhu Ting replied simply and directly, without any reluctance at all.
Only love can do this.
"Okay, let's take a rest first."
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Zhu nodded, and the three of them soon arrived in a room.
"Father, Queen Mother, are you here specially to see my son?"
Zhu Ru asked the two of them.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Yes, your mother knows that you study seriously at the Agricultural College, so she came with me to see you."
Empress Ma touched Zhu Xi's head and said, "That's it. Didn't your father promise you to let Mr. Su teach you about agriculture? Now we want to ask you, are you willing to go?"
Mr. Su’s teachings!
Hearing Queen Ma's words, Zhu Xi's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately replied: "I can return to my mother at any time."
Su Jing's teaching is what Zhu Ru dreams of.
It would be a great thing if Mr. Su, who is said to be so miraculous, could teach me.
"Okay, Lao Wu!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "I can arrange for you to go to Su Jing's place now, but before that, I have to tell you some things."
"Father, please speak."
Zhu Xi said immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately explained to Zhu Xi that there were two main things.
The first thing is to follow Su Jing and study hard.
The second thing is not to reveal your identity.
As for the rest, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask for much. Anyway, Zhu Biao was by Su Jing's side. If anything happened, it was more convenient to go to Zhu Biao directly.
After finishing the explanation, Zhu Zhu took the letter written by Queen Ma and embarked on the road to Lishui County.
The carriage bumped all the way, and before sunset, Zhu Ru finally arrived in Lishui County.
Outside Su Jing's villa, Zhu Biao suddenly saw Zhu Xi's appearance and was quite surprised:
"Fifth brother, why are you here?"
Zhu Zhu replied: "Brother, my father asked me to come and study with Mr. Su. This is my mother's letter. You will know after reading it."
With that said, Zhu Xi handed over the letter.
Zhu Biao immediately opened it and read it carefully, and understood the ins and outs.
"Okay, I understand, fifth brother, come with me."
Zhu Biao nodded and went in with Zhu Zhu.
"So, this is your brother Niu Su. Did your father ask him to come?"
Su Jing looked at the nine-year-old Zhu Zhu in front of her and asked Zhu Biao on the side.
He had just listened to Zhu Biao's explanation and was shocked inside.
Just let Zhu Biao come and study with him. After all, he is fifteen years old and does not need much care.
Now what does this mean by having a nine year old come over?
Do you think this is a nursery?
Are you kidding me?
"Yes, Master Su."
Zhu Biao nodded.
Su Jing's face jumped slightly and she said: "Then send your brother back as soon as possible. By the way, I can tell that unreliable father of yours, don't think of me as your family's free tutor."
Su Jing is very clear about the fighting power of the naughty kid.
Zhu Biao, a well-educated, smart and down-to-earth person, would not mind being a teacher.
In this way, Zhu Biao passed Su Jing's test first and then became Su Jing's student.
Now there is a nine-year-old. If Zhu Yuanzhang is in front of him, Su Jing will definitely scold him directly.
"Master Su, isn't this good?"
Zhu Biao was also a little embarrassed, but he still said.
He also felt a little inappropriate about the behavior of his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, who directly brought his fifth brother Zhu Xi over.
But the letter from his mother, Empress Ma, made it very clear that this was what Zhu Yuanzhang had promised Zhu Ji, and it was impossible to go back on it.
"What's wrong? He can just send people here, but I can't just send them back?"
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and asked directly.
This rhetorical question also directly stunned Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao was really not that embarrassed to insist on this matter.
"Mr. Su, please don't blame my father. The cause of everything is me. I just admire Mr. Su's talent and want to learn. If Mr. Su feels that I am not qualified to study with Mr. Su, then I can go on my own."
Zhu Ru suddenly spoke.
Even though Zhu Rui was only nine years old, he said this in an orderly manner and without any fuss.
"Fifth brother."
When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Xi's words, he also wanted to say a few words of help, but he didn't know what to say.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Ru, slightly surprised.
Are all nine-year-old children these days so well-behaved? They don't look like naughty children, but they just look like that.
"You said you admire my talents, but I'm curious. What talents do you know about me?"
Su Jing suddenly became interested and asked Zhu Xi.
Zhu Tong replied calmly: "My father asked my eldest brother to study with Mr. Su. My mother often mentioned in my ears that Mr. Su has learned a lot, so I thought that Mr. Su's talent and learning would definitely solve my confusion."
It does not directly answer the content, but gives a cause and effect relationship.
Zhu Jing's answer surprised Su Jing.
"I heard from your elder brother that you want to learn about crops from me, but do you know that my cultivation level is not even as good as that of a farmer?"
Su Jing continued to ask: "Even so, do you think I can answer your questions?"
Although Su Jing didn't want to admit it, his talent in planting was really poor.
"Mr. Su once mentioned the concept of scientific seedling cultivation when he was teaching my eldest brother. I thought that based on this alone, Mr. Su could answer my questions."
Zhu Ru said seriously.
Regarding the scientific seedling cultivation mentioned in Zhu Biao's reply, Zhu Yuanzhang specifically showed it to Zhu Zhu. This was also an important reason why Zhu Biao recommended the establishment of the Agricultural College.
Scientific nursery!
After hearing Zhu Ru's answer, Su Jing's expression really changed.
He looked at Zhu Rui, his eyebrows full of surprise. Is this what a nine-year-old child can say?
Could it be that someone taught him?
But scientific seedling cultivation probably did not exist in the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu did not have to teach his son this.
"Master Su, it's the student's fault. The student spread the knowledge taught by Master Su to others."
Zhu Biao suddenly spoke and explained.
He thought Su Jing was angry with her, so her expression turned like this.
"No, brother."
Before Su Jing could speak, Zhu Jing said: "Mr. Su's character has been mentioned many times by my mother. He taught his eldest brother, so he will definitely not blame his eldest brother, because Mr. Su is not a self-respecting person, otherwise why bother?" Where’s the teaching brother?”
These words surprised Su Jing again. He looked at Zhu Rui again and no longer regarded him as a nine-year-old child.
There was a little more doubt in my heart about Zhu Biao's family background.
It is definitely not easy to raise a nine-year-old child like this.
"Yes, Niu Su, you are right. Since I have taught your elder brother, I don't mind whether he spreads it or not."
Su Jing nodded and said, "You can stay here today."
Zhu Biao's face changed, he was very happy, and he winked at Zhu Zhu who was not far away.
"Thank you Master Su."
Zhu Zhu saluted seriously.
Su Jing said, "Don't rush to recognize me as your teacher. I just want you to stay today. As for how long you can stay, it depends on your performance."
“Students understand.”
Zhu Ru was not disappointed at all and nodded in agreement.
