Chapter 53: Li Xiu's Request
"It's... This is... What the? Li Xiu's body trembled and pointed at the steam engine that was doing regular movement, and his voice became trembling.
An instrument that can operate without manpower or animal power is something that Li Xiu can't imagine in his mind, but it just appeared, and it was still in front of Li Xiu's eyes.
Li Xiu wiped his eyes vigorously with his chubby hand, but found that this strange instrument was still in front of him, it was real, it could operate without manpower or animal power, which simply subverted Li Xiu's outlook on life.
It is also interesting to say that among the disciples of the Mo family who carried out instrument research and invention, there are very few people like Li Xiu's fat body shape, and most of the Mo family disciples who are intoxicated with research and invention are on the thin side, because when they are studying inventions, they often forget the time, eat irregularly, and their bodies become thin over time.
However, Li Xiu has a good wife and cooks good food, every time Li Xiu researches and invents and forgets the time, she will come to Li Xiu with the food, and only after watching Li Xiu eat the food will she leave, so that Li Xiu's body shape not only does not lose weight, but gets fatter and fatter, which is definitely the most special body type among the disciples of the Mo family.
Most people may think that it is a devouring monster when they first see a running steam engine, and it will let out a strange roar, but Li Xiu will not see it that way, Li Xiu will use the knowledge in his mind to try to understand the steam engine in front of him.
Soon, Li Xiu calmed down from his surprise, and with a sense of excitement, Li Xiu approached the steam engine and circled around the steam engine, trying to see why this steam engine could run without manpower and animal power, which was simply amazing.
After that, Li Xiu also operated the steam engine briefly under the guidance of the craftsman and experienced the feeling of operating the steam engine.
As a disciple of the Mo family, Li Xiu guessed a part of the structure of the steam engine, but more than that, he couldn't figure it out at all, Li Xiu seemed to have forgotten the time, forgot that Yunyi was still standing next to him, and had been studying the steam engine.
After a long time, Yun Yi felt that it was almost over, and then he spoke: "Ziyu, how about this steam engine?" ”
Hearing Yun Yi's words, Li Xiu finally woke up from his addiction, and replied respectfully after bowing his hand to Yun Yi: "Returning to the sir, this steam engine is amazing, Xiao Min has never seen such a magical device, and he can't even figure out its principle, how can it run without manpower and animal power, this is simply the most amazing machine in the world, sir, Xiao Min has a request." ”
Yunyi: "Say." ”
Li Xiu: "Xiaomin wants to take a closer look at this steam engine. ”
The corners of Yun Yi's mouth curled up slightly and said, "You don't want to study your own things?" ”
"Xiao Min's ideas are a world away from this steam engine, there is a steam engine here, Xiao Min still studies what those things do, such a ingenious design of the Heavenly Palace, Xiao Min is difficult to design in his life." Li Xiu's fat face showed shame, the thoughts in his own mind were too much worse than the steam engine that had become a real thing, which made Li Xiu extremely ashamed, sure enough, there were people outside the people, and a mountain was higher than a mountain.
Seeing Li Xiu's thoughts, Yun Yi's heart was even happier, at the beginning Li Xiu agreed to accept the employment, the most important reason was because the Yun family could provide funds for him to do research, not that the Yun family could call Li Xiu at will, which was not what Yun Yi wanted.
Yun Yi can roughly understand the psychology of people who are engaged in research and invention, so he took Li Xiu to the manor outside the city and asked Li Xiu to take a look at the steam engine, after Li Xiu saw the steam engine, he really fell under the pomegranate skirt of the steam engine, threw away all his research and inventions, and only wanted to study the steam engine, this is what Yun Yi wanted, Yun Yi's ultimate goal was to let Li Xiu be in charge of the steam engine and steam engine-related machinery, thinking that Li Xiu took the initiative to study the steam engine, which was in line with Yun Yi's meaning.
Yun Yi pretended to think about it for a while, and then said to Li Xiu seriously: "Yes, not only can you study the steam engine, but Benjue will also hand over all the things of this steam engine to you, I don't know if you are willing to accept it." ”
Li Xiu hurriedly replied happily: "Yes, my subordinates are willing, as long as my subordinates can study the steam engine." ”
Yun Yi nodded quietly.
Li Xiu will call himself from a "small people" to a "subordinate", it can be said that Li Xiu has decided to devote himself to Yunyi and the Yun family, and no longer has other ideas, in other words, Yunyi used a steam engine to completely subdue Li Xiu.
Then Li Xiu hesitated for a few moments before he spoke: "Sir, my subordinates have another request. ”
"Say."
Li Xiu: "My subordinates want to meet the maker of this steam engine, who can make such a magical steam engine, he is definitely comparable to Mozi's ink maker (ink maker)." ”
Hearing this, Yunyi smiled mysteriously: "Do you really want to see him?" ”
"The subordinates really want to meet his old man, and if possible, the subordinates also want to worship him as a teacher and learn from him." Li Xiu showed an adoring and fiery gaze.
Yunyi: "He's far away in front of you." ”
Hearing Yun Yi's words, Li Xiu hurriedly looked around, wanting to find out who made the steam engine, but in the next moment, Li Xiu patted his head vigorously with his hand, and turned his head back to look at Yun Yi.
Li Xiu: "Jue... Master, that's... Individual system... Make steamed... The man of the steam engine is... You. ”
Li Xiu's voice trembled again, but he saw Yun Yi nodding his head lightly in acknowledgement.
However, even Yun Yi admitted at this point, Li Xiu only felt that his mind was about to explode.
"How is this possible?" Li Xiu kept repeating this sentence in his heart.
Before this, Li Xiu only thought that an elderly ink man made a steam engine, and only an elderly ink man could make a steam engine, but he didn't expect that this steam engine was actually made by Yun Yi Yun Jue, who was much younger than him, if he said it, no one would believe it, but this was said by Yun Yi himself, and a person of Xiang Yunyi's status disdains to deceive others in this regard, then this matter is true.
After a while, Li Xiu accepted this fact and made a very surprising move.
I saw Li Xiu kneel down to Yunyi without hesitation, and said, "Master, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
However, the next moment, Li Xiu's movements were stopped by Yun Yi reaching out, and Li Xiu couldn't continue to bow down.
Yunyi: "Benjue doesn't accept apprentices, but Benjue can teach you this knowledge." ”
In this era, the relationship between the master and the apprentice is very close, no worse than the relationship between the father and the son, "one day as a teacher and a father for life" is not a joke, Yun Yi does not want to accept an apprentice who is older than his age.
Note 1: The ink maker, the self-name of the Mo family, is divided into three types: ink man, ink master, and ink craftsman, and the ink maker is the master of Mojia science and technology, and the earliest scientist.
