Chapter 1: Twenty Years

Li Zheng's favorite classic is the Book of Changes.

Because this book clarifies the truth of this world - change.

The inadvertent loss of time has changed a lot of things, taken away a lot of things, and brought a lot of things.

Lying on the rattan chair, Li Zheng turned the pages of the book, the familiar words flowed from his heart, all kinds of feelings and truths came to his heart, and he was more and more shocked by the wisdom of the sages!

"Lang Jun!"

Mi Huan walked around, and her posture and charm were mature to the point of no return.

"Well," Li Zheng said lightly, "What's wrong?" ”

He put down the book and straightened up.

"Hong'er went to the world of all races!" Mi Huan's face was worried, and her tone complained: "This kid is so old, and he is still as disobedient as when he was a child!" ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand to hug Mi Huan, held it in his arms, and said with a smile: "My son has grown up and has an independent idea, so I should be happy for him." ”

"But he's a prince and runs away to be a mercenary, what is this like!?" Mi Huan said angrily: "Isn't it good to stay in the empire?" I just want to run to the world of all races, how can this make people feel at ease?! ”

"Okay, don't worry." Li Zheng stroked Mi Huan's long hair and said, "He is an adult, he knows what he is doing, haven't we always interfered with their own thoughts?" What he wants to do, as long as he doesn't mess around, as long as he is responsible for himself, then he will do. ”

Saying that, Li Zheng smiled again: "Are you worried about Hong'er's safety?" Don't worry, I'm not so confused as a dad. ”

Mi Huan smiled at this time: "Lang Jun is so good." ”

"Haha, it's an old husband and wife, don't be so polite, right?" Li Zheng laughed.

Today, it is the first thirty years of the empire.

Counting it, Li Zheng is in his fifties. The years are on his face. It left a deeper majesty and maturity, but not a trace of old age.

He now looked no more than thirty years old, and the beard under his chin was thicker. The gaze is more profound, and the character is more calm. Other than that, there are basically no changes.

The ten wives and concubines are all like this, in addition to being more mature and charming, the years have not made them vicissitudes, but more and more bright and moving.

But the growth of children really shows the passage of time.

Even those two little ones, Li Ze and Li Ying, were crowned early.

However, what made Li Zheng a little annoyed was that Li Ji, the oldest of these children, was now. None of them are married. This may be a failure for Li Zheng as a father.

But Li Zheng didn't force them. They have a long lifespan, twenty or thirty years old, but they have only gone through a short period of life, and there is still enough time to find a wife and raise children.

But there is one point, which makes Li Zheng quite helpless.

In the early twenty years of the Yuan Dynasty. When the eldest son Li Ji was crowned, Li Zheng was ready to pass the throne to him. And then go and get to yourself at ease. But I didn't expect this kid to be unwilling to be the emperor!

Not only the eldest son Li Ji, but also the second, third, and fourth children are unwilling to take on this burden.

They all have their own preferences, and they all have their own careers, and they have an open education since childhood, so that they have a good understanding of the throne. Not too interested.

They all refused because their father Li Zheng was in the prime of life!

Today, the eldest son, Li Ji, has become an expert in the study of the inner evolution of life. Over the years, he has made a lot of research achievements in the use of battle qi, the generation of special abilities of fierce beasts, stellar energy, and many other internal evolution methods from other civilizations, and is a leader in the internal evolution of the new generation of life in the empire. Received a lot of support and respect.

The second Li Yu has become a master of literature.

In terms of poetry and songs, he has an extraordinary talent. Li Yu, who is now in his twenties, has many famous works in addition to poetry, and has also completed a commentary on the Book of Changes. He is extraordinary, personable, and chic, and is most sought after.

It's a pity that I don't know how many wonderful girls have been sad for him, but they didn't attract his attention.

The third Li Hong is the most free. He likes to live freely, likes to practice martial arts, and likes to explore. In the end, he actually became a mercenary. This made Mi Huan, as a mother, extremely unhappy, and she had to count him down every time. No, this time, the mercenary team he set up secretly ran to the world of all races.

As for the eldest Li Ze, he is the most well-behaved. Now, he has become a glorious academy professor, serving in Lingzhou Tai Academy, watering the future flowers of the empire. He was very knowledgeable and his lectures were light-hearted and humorous, and he was very popular at the College, not only by his colleagues, but also by his students.

In addition to these four sons, among the other six daughters, the eldest daughter, Li Jin, unexpectedly joined the army. He has achieved the rank of lieutenant, major general of the first class, and is now serving in World No. 3. There is no water in this, it is completely her own accumulation of merits, which has led to her current achievements. The only thing that hasn't changed is the coldness of that face. She is now a well-known cold and glamorous female general in the empire's two million regular army!

The second daughter, Li Jing, and the fourth daughter, Li Yun, are committed to the cause of civil welfare and meritorious service, and they are running for it. It's very lofty, but it's actually a fight for specialists. It is very loved by the people.

The third daughter, Li Ran, is similar to the eldest son Li Ji, a new generation of experts in energy research at the Imperial Research Institute, and has also made a lot of achievements.

The fifth daughter, Li Shuang, is a new generation of experts in device research and invention. The empire has made great achievements in civilian, military, and even aerospace equipment.

The last daughter, Li Ying, became an expert in language. He knows a lot of languages of foreign civilizations and is committed to the study of linguistics of foreign civilizations.

has an excellent bloodline inheritance and a good and open education since childhood, none of Li Zheng's children are straw bales. This point, in fact, Li Zheng could see it when they were young.

Three-year-old sees old man.

When I was a child, everyone was quirky, smart, and full of ideas. Coupled with Li Zheng's unsparing support for their realization of ideas, this achievement has been achieved.

This is not accidental, but inevitable.

One of the achievements of people depends on the innate bloodline. Some people are born smart.

Second, it depends on the acquired efforts. Maybe not smart enough, but as long as you work hard, there is always something to gain.

The third is the influence of the growth environment. A good environment plays an extremely important role in people's growth. There is no doubt about that.

And Li Zheng's children, in any aspect, are not missing, and it is natural for them to become talents.

In the past 20 years, the empire has changed with each passing day.

First of all, in terms of energy technology. Civilian technology has been upgraded to the fifth generation. From the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty when the empire began to study energy utilization technology, to the fifteenth year of the early Yuan Dynasty, the birth of the first generation of energy utilization technology, and then every few years, it was updated, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Nowadays, the use of energy has penetrated into all aspects of the empire. Whether it is people's livelihood or industry. Or in the military aspect, it can be regarded as extremely good.

The Empire's power-wielding technology. It is based on the light energy utilization technology of the Shuiyuan civilization, but it absorbs the essence of many other civilizations.

To use an analogy, it's like a pot that people use to cook. It is engraved with a formation similar to that of the wizarding civilization, of course, it is not a copy of the achievements of the wizarding civilization. This kind of formation pattern is based on the magic circle technology of the wizarding civilization. The unique understanding of imperial researchers has been added, forming a unique system with the characteristics of imperial civilization.

When the people were cooking, they used the battle qi to activate the formation patterns on the pot, and they could access the energy stored in the Shenzhou Grassland Energy Instrument. Or just use energy blocks. Activates the array and directs the use of energy in the energy block.

The existence of the formation pattern is to have the effect of receiving energy and converting energy into heat.

This, in turn, is linked to the energy delivery function of the energy instrument.

And this unique formation system of the empire has now been used in almost every aspect. Not to mention the aspects of life, cooking, laundry, lighting, etc.

There is also the aspect of transportation.

Originally, Li Zheng didn't plan to use his energy for transportation, but he was worried about the war horse. However, he later felt that he could not waste food because of choking, so the Imperial Council decided to take a two-pronged approach.

As a result, the use of energy has gradually become widespread in transportation equipment.

Juli beast vehicles are still not eliminated, but energy-powered transportation equipment is also in the world.

In terms of military affairs, military weapons are completely energy-centric, with formations as the transformation driving center. Now, it has also been updated to the seventh generation. The military ones are always more powerful than the civilian ones.

As for the method of communication, in the empire itself, there is not much change, and it is still centered on the origin tree and dominated by the data spirit Chubby Niu. However, in the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 worlds, the way people communicate has changed a lot.

In the beginning, in the three dimensional worlds, only a few important people in the official world, who had studied telepathy, could communicate through the Blue Bird. In the people, it is still the most primitive way of communication.

After all, not everyone is qualified to learn telepathy. Even if Li Zheng didn't mind the issue of qualifications, it was impossible to get the hundreds of millions of people under the rule of the empire to the Shenzhou grassland to learn skills one by one.

So in the initial period of time, there was no change in the way the people of the three worlds communicated. It wasn't until after the birth of the formation pattern system that it was almost the twenty-third year of the early Yuan Dynasty, and the birth of the communication pattern changed this state.

With it, the empire changed its identity card. The new generation of identity cards has two formations on them, one gathering energy and the other transmitting.

The Gathering Array is for those who have not yet comprehended the spirit of war. Without comprehending the battle qi, if there is no concentrating array pattern, it will not be able to activate the communication array. Of course, if there is an energy block, it goes without saying. Not to mention those who have the spirit of war.

All this, with the in-depth study of energy utilization technology, with the increasing perfection of the formation system, all aspects of the empire, with this as the driving force, have entered a stage of rapid development.

Of course, the empire has not yet reached a truly advanced level in terms of energy utilization technology. The study of the use of energy is ultimately the study of the nature of energy.

If we understand this essence, we can understand the transformation process between energy and matter.

The third daughter, Li Ran, discussed this issue with Li Zheng at the dinner table a few days ago.

Her idea was to develop a device that could directly transform matter and energy at will. For example, if you have a garbage on the street, you can design it into a garbage can, fill it in, and then convert it directly into pure energy.

In this way, not only the energy is recovered, but also the problem of environmental pollution is completely solved. (To be continued......)
