Chapter 79 Extraordinary Night

A procession of men and horses was walking on the road.

The man riding a horse in front said, "You continue to the imperial city."

"Your Highness, won't you go to the imperial city together?"

"You go to the imperial city first to find out the news. I will go to Tu Shui. After all, this war is fought in Tu Shui. Maybe Tu Shui can get a lot of information."

"Your Highness is wise."

His Highness the Sixth Prince showed an expression that showed that His Highness was extremely smart, and then rode away.

In the inn.

After Liang Meng and others finished repairing, they were about to leave in a carriage.

I happened to see a high-spirited young man galloping towards me on a war horse. A cloud of dust was raised wherever the horse passed.

"Huh~~" The horse stopped, and the man jumped off the horse. His movements were graceful and skillful, and every move showed the man's extraordinary background.

The man handed the horse to the waiter and walked into the house.

Asked: "How long does it take to apply water?"

Liang Meng and others couldn't help but look when they heard the word "Tu Shui".

The man also noticed the looks directed at Liang Meng and others.

Lin Qing couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw the man in front of her.

The man's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Qing, as if he couldn't believe that he could meet Lin Qing here. He was very excited and happy.

The man ignored the many looks from the people around him and approached Lin Qing.

"Doctor Lin Qing, we haven't seen each other for a long time since the last time we saw each other. To see each other here today shows that we are very destined." The man smiled brightly.

Liang Meng and others looked at the man in confusion.

"I have met His Highness Sixth Prince." Lin Qing saluted, and then introduced him to Liang Meng and others.

It turns out that this man is the sixth prince of Chaomu.

"He turns out to be His Highness the Sixth Prince." Li Qingfeng couldn't help but ask as he looked at the guy in front of him who was not very easy to use his head.

The Sixth Prince looked at Li Qingfeng with suspicion.

"What? Stinky Taoist priest, don't I look like a prince?"

"I'm sorry for my disrespect, Your Highness the Sixth Prince," Li Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Forget it, you have never seen the world at first glance, and I won't argue with you." His Highness the Sixth Prince no longer looked at everyone, but his eyes fell on Lin Qing.

Li Qingfeng thought in his heart after hearing the sixth prince's words.

Never seen the world? Who do you think has never seen the world?

Li Qingfeng snorted and turned his head without saying anything.

Liang Meng wondered in her heart, how could Chao Mu's sixth prince be here?

Lin Qing saw the confusion of Liang Meng and others, and asked: "Why is His Highness the Sixth Prince here? Where is Your Highness going?"

The man then walked to Lin Qing's side minding his own business.

"It was God who guided me to come here to meet Dr. Lin Qing.

As for where to go, it depends on where Dr. Lin Qing is going. "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince said as if I will go wherever you go.

When Lin Qing heard His Highness the Sixth Prince's words, his eyebrows furrowed even deeper. Seeing that he didn't want to say why he was here and where he was going?

Lin Qing turned around and headed towards the carriage. Liang Meng and others looked at His Highness Sixth Prince, then at Lin Qing, and then followed Lin Qing away.

His Highness the Sixth Prince did not stop him and said to Lin Qing as he left, "We will see you later, Doctor Lin Qing."

The carriage slowly left the Sixth Prince's side.

"This Sixth Highness turns out to be not a good person. Doctor Lin Qing is right to ignore him." Li Qingfeng said in a pretentious manner.

Liang Meng nodded.

"Doctor Lin Qing, how did you meet His Highness the Sixth Prince?" Li Qingfeng asked.

Liang Meng turned to Li Qingfeng, are you too nosy? But I also want to know, you asked something that I didn’t dare to ask, you are so nice, I gave you an encouraging look.

"I visited Chaomu's military camp during my travels. They happened to encounter a plague. I solved their plague problem according to the methods taught by the Queen Mother. At that time, His Highness the Sixth Prince was training in the army."

Everyone nodded.

"Doctor Lin Qing, it seems to me that the Sixth Highness treats you a little differently. The woman should find a good home. It would be a good place to marry the Sixth Highness. She won't have to show her face in the future." Hongyu said.

"Thank you Aunt Hongyu. What Aunt Hongyu said is true. It's just that marrying and having children is not what Lin Qing wants. It's not what her heart wants. Even if she is a prince or a general, what does it have to do with me?" Lin Qing said calmly.

Hong Yu wanted to say something else, but she stopped talking when she saw Lin Qing's look.

"It's not what I want in my heart, so what does it matter to the princes, generals and ministers," Li Qingfeng said.

Gongsun Mo nodded.

Lin Qing didn't expect that her words would be recognized by others, so she couldn't help but smile sheepishly.

Liang Meng looked at Lin Qing and couldn't help but admire Lin Qing even more.

Although His Highness the Sixth Prince was interested in Lin Qing, he did not reveal the purpose of his trip, nor did he follow or propose to marry Lin Qing when he left the military camp. This is very revealing.

To His Highness Sixth Prince, Lin Qing was nothing more than a condiment when he was successful and famous. His Highness Sixth Prince didn't like Lin Qing enough, and love was never the most important thing.

If Lin Qing fell in love with His Highness the Sixth Prince's constantly weighing love or married His Highness, gave up his career as a doctor, and was trapped in a square yard, he would be really crazy.

Fortunately, Lin Qing saw clearly and understood very well.

Everyone was busy talking about other things.

Liang Meng thought about why His Highness Sixth Prince met him and others?

Liang Meng recalled his memories. Each dynasty sent beauties to the emperor, and Chaomu sent six highnesses.

The Sixth Prince should take advantage of the opportunity to send the beauty to Daijin to inquire about Daijin.

However, people from Chaomu to Daijin would not pass through here, and they did not see the beauty given to the emperor.

Could it be that he was investigating alone?

Investigate alone?

Can’t explore the imperial city on your own? And come here?

Liang Meng suddenly thought of something, he was going to apply water.

The logic is very smooth, and that should be the case.

The sixth prince actually had the same destination as them.

"The Queen Mother, it's getting dark, let's spend the night in the village ahead." Hongyu asked.

Liang Meng nodded.

The carriage headed towards the village not far away.

in the village.

I saw people dressed like farmers and peasant women, carrying wooden baskets and farm tools in their hands, walking in groups of three or two.

"Empress Dowager, what do you think they are going to do?" Hongyu asked.

Everyone was very surprised.

"The Queen Mother, let Qing Feng go down and ask." Li Qingfeng said and got off the carriage.

"Old man, may I ask where you are going?"

The old man saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest getting out of the carriage and asking him, but he did not show his usual vigilance and suspicion.

"Taoist Priest, where does Taoist Priest come from?"

"Pindao is from xx. He was passing through here and came here to stay overnight. Seeing everyone like this, what happened? Can Pindao help me?" Li Qingfeng said in a fairy-like manner.

"Taoist Master Li looks like a Taoist priest when he is serious," Hongyu said.

Liang Meng nodded.

"Taoist Priest, I misunderstood. It's not that we are encountering difficulties in our village." The old man looked around and said in the Taoist Priest's ear.

This old man is really vigilant. What is it? Liang Meng thought in his heart.

"It's a black stone that appeared on the mountain not far from our village."

"Black stone? Is this black stone different from ordinary stones?" Li Qingfeng didn't understand why it was just a stone.

Several people in the carriage stared at Li Qingfeng and the old man curiously.

When the old man heard Li Qingfeng's question, he immediately became proud.

"This black stone is indeed different from this ordinary stone."

"It's different? Dare you ask me what's different?" Li Qingfeng asked curiously.

"This black stone can burn."

"Burning?" Li Qingfeng asked doubtfully.

The old man felt even more proud when he saw Li Qingfeng showing such an expression.

"It can be ignited with fire and used as firewood."

When the old man continued to talk, the people around him shouted at the old man to leave.

Then the old man was reluctant to leave.

"There are actually stones that can be ignited in this world." Li Qingfeng said as he entered the carriage.

"A stone that can be ignited?" Hongyu said.

"I didn't expect that there are stones that can be ignited in the world." Lin Qing said.

"The world is so big!" Li Qingfeng sighed.

Gongsun Mo was speechless. He noticed the Queen Mother's somewhat excited expression.

"Empress Dowager, is there anything different about this black stone?" Gongsun Mo asked.

Gongsun Mo's words attracted everyone to look at Liang Meng.

Liang Meng ignored everyone's gaze and was immersed in his own world.

thought in mind.

Black stone, black stone, black stone that can burn, this, this is not coal, it is coal.

"The Ai family still needs to confirm the differences. We will let you know when the Ai family is confirmed."

Everyone nodded in confusion, expectation, or curiosity. Then Liang Meng ordered the secret guards to go to the mountain to find some black stones.

night.

In a small farmyard.

The fire made stars shine in the night sky.

If you look closely, the starlight is not coming from firewood, but from burned flaming stones.

"The Queen Mother, this stone is really burning." Hongyu said.

"There can really be burning stones in the world." Lin Qing said.

Gongsun Mo nodded in agreement.

"It's such a vast world." Li Qingfeng said.

Look at the lit stone.

Liang Meng looked very excited in the dark night.

This is really coal, really coal.

This is the food of industry.

This is how I found coal.

Unlike others present who just admired the wonders of the world, no one present knew the importance of coal like Liang Meng did.

The industrialization process of the modern West began with coal.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, is there something magical about this stone that can be ignited?" Gongsun Mo carefully noticed the extremely excited look on the Queen Mother's face and asked.

Liang Meng's thoughts were interrupted by Gongsun Mo.

Liang Meng nodded.

"There is indeed something wonderful about this stone."

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Liang Meng's answer and they all looked towards the Queen Mother.

"Let's call this black stone coal."

"coal."

"coal."

Liang Meng nodded.

"This coal can be ignited, and everyone has seen it."

Everyone nodded.

"Have you made any meals?" Liang Meng asked.

Everyone was wondering why the Queen Mother asked such a question.

"Empress Dowager, making a meal doesn't just mean lighting the firewood and then..." Hongyu said.

"The Queen Mother wants to use this coal to replace firewood?" Li Qingfeng asked.

"Yes, but not." Liang Meng said.

Everyone looked at Liang Meng.

"This coal can indeed replace firewood. You can make meals by burning a fire under the pot, filling the pot with water, and then waiting for the meal to be completed."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Have you ever wondered why this is so?"

"Why is this so?" Li Qingfeng asked.

"Isn't this always the case? Why ask why it is so?" Lin Qing said.

Gongsun Mo started thinking.

"Gongsun Mo, how can the waterwheel you built move?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, it is the endless flow of water that makes the waterwheel turn." Gongsun Mo said.

"Is it the water in the pot that makes the meal ready?" Gongsun Mo asked.

"Lin Qing, Qing Feng, Hong Yu, what will happen if the water is boiled?"

"It's going to be steamy."

"Lin Qing, what will happen if it gets cold?"

"When I decoct the medicine, water droplets will form on the lid." Lin Qing said.

Everyone nodded.

"It's really water that makes meals good." Gongsun Mo said.

"How does this water help prepare meals?" Li Qingfeng asked.

"It is the burning stone, the burning firewood, the fire that boils the water, and the boiling water that generates heat that makes the meal ready." Liang Meng pointed to the stone and said.

"It is the fire in the stone that is transferred to the meal through the water, so that the meal is ready." Gongsun Mo said.

Liang Meng screamed loudly when he heard Gongsun Mo's words.

Liang Meng nodded.

"What's the use of this?" Hongyu said.

"Could it be that the boiled water can be made to move like water in a waterwheel?" Gongsun Mo asked.

Liang Meng looked at Gongsun Mo.

Is this genius?

"That's true." Liang Meng nodded.

"Wait, Queen Mother, how to achieve this?" Li Qingfeng asked.

"I understand." Gongsun Mo said.

Everyone looked towards Gongsun Mo.

Liang Meng couldn't help but be attracted by Gongsun Mo.

Liang Meng thought in his heart.

Haven't I said this yet?

How did you know it?

Is this the difference between ordinary people and geniuses?

Liang Meng felt very sad.

"My Queen Mother, fire boils food by turning water into hot air, and the water wheel turns the water wheel through the flowing water. If the water that turns the water wheel is replaced by hot air, will it be possible to keep the water wheel running continuously? Turn?" Gongsun Mo said.

"But doesn't it also require water to switch to heat? Since water is needed, why bother boiling the water?" Lin Qing asked.

"No, heat can turn into water droplets." Gongsun Mo said.

"If the hot air turns into water droplets, wouldn't it mean that we don't need to rely on too much water?" Lin Qing said.

Everyone was very excited as if they had discovered some treasure.

"Did we discover something terrible?" Li Qingfeng asked.

"I think we did discover something extraordinary," Gongsun Mo said.

"The Queen Mother." Lin Qing said expecting to be affirmed.

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother excitedly.

"What you said is good, but it can not only be applied to water trucks." Liang Meng said.

Everyone looked at Liang Meng.

"Shrink the waterwheel." Liang Meng stretched out his palm.

"It's about the size of Aijia's palm, with a circle in the middle and surrounded by pieces of wood or fan blades. Hot air blows a piece of wood or fan blades, and then this shrunken waterwheel can rotate. You can imagine if this shrunken waterwheel The water tanker was used on the ship.”

"On board?" Everyone was confused.

"The reason why a boat can sail on the water is because of the water. How can you apply it to a boat? Please give me some advice from the Queen Mother." Gongsun Mo didn't understand it and said in confusion and humility.

"Put a stove on the boat, use fire to boil the water, and the hot air will make the shrunk waterwheel rotate. Put many shrunken waterwheels under the boat, and they will be driven by the heat. Then the boat can move forward on its own. gone."

Everyone was thinking freely in Liang Meng's words.

"Does that mean we can no longer use wooden paddles in the future?" Li Qingfeng said excitedly.

Liang Meng nodded.

"Not just boats, but carriages."

"carriage?"

Everyone was shocked.

"You can imagine if the horses in the carriage were replaced by a stove that burned water to generate heat. The heat was transferred to the shrunken waterwheel, and then to the wheels, and then it would keep moving forward."

Everyone kept imagining it in their minds.

Seeing everyone's longing eyes, Liang Meng was very happy.

Water makes the waterwheel turn.

Replace the water with the heat generated by burning water with coal.

Replace the waterwheel with propellers, fan blades, gears, etc.

The hot air makes propellers, fan blades, and gears rotate, which promotes the construction of ships, cars, etc.

This is the Industrial Revolution in the West, this is the invention of the steam engine, and this is the beginning of the creation of modern society.

Trains have tracks because they need speed.

With the development of the times, coal has been replaced by other fuels, and cars also use hot gas, but coal has been replaced by oil.

The starry sky shines on everyone, this is destined to be a different night, because after this night, Daikin will usher in a different era.

An era where there is no longer a need to passively accept everything nature has to offer and to fend off natural disasters in a panic.

An era where we can use our wisdom to face nature and better deal with natural disasters.

An era that allows women to be free and awaken.
