In fact, Demacia was not unaware of gunpowder.

It's just that they never studied in this direction.

It can be seen from the fact that Winward quickly understood what Lu Qi meant after understanding, and what he lacked was not the knowledge of gunpowder.

It's a lack of knowledge.

This is precisely because Demacia has always taken a direction that favors more sophisticated armor and weapons, as well as things that can help improve his strength.

The same is true of the role of the research institute, and the main project they have been responsible for so far is still how to develop armor with stronger defense and less effort, and weapons with stronger attack power and sharper edge.

Therefore, Demacia has the best forging technology in the world, and the technology in this area cannot be surpassed even by today's leather city.

But in the same way, Picheng's advanced concept of science and technology is also unknown to Winward.

In Demacia, there are also things that can cause explosions.

For example, mages, for example, a special kind of magical beast called a two-tailed lizard.

The slime spit out by this creature can produce an explosion, and Winward has studied this creature in the past, but nothing has been done.

Because what prompted the two-tailed lizard slime to explode was also the most primitive magical energy in its body.

As for magic, the scientific research department is very evasive.

Winward knew that the gunpowder that Lu Qi was talking about at the moment was a substance that could be artificially detonated at the physical level.

Although I don't know the specific extent, I think that this is the knowledge explored from Picheng.

Winward paid attention.

As a person lacking in personal force, he knew how a substance that could be artificially detonated could enhance Demacia.

Therefore, he immediately found a group of trustworthy people and a hidden research and development site, and according to Lu Qi's intentions, he began to research.

Two hours later.

A large number of people gathered in the hidden research and development field.

Looking at Lu Qi, who was preparing in front of him, he also looked at each other a little, and his mind was thinking about receiving the secret summoning order and the gunpowder that was told at the same time.

What Ludge was embarking on at this time was an explosion experiment.

He thinks that the most direct explanation is a simple and crude explosion.

Looking at the furnace in front of him, the core materials of three types of gunpowder, sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal have been concentrated.

Luqi was sure that a blow up of this thing would be worth a thousand words.

In this experiment, he did not control the dose, because the purpose was to be simple and rude.

When he was almost ready, he withdrew to a safe distance and told everyone to stay at least fifty meters away.

And the personnel of the scientific research institute gathered in a pile at this moment, and their eyes were all staring at the stove in the middle.

Luci was holding a recurve bow in his hand at the moment, and after igniting an arrow, he pulled the bowstring, then took a slight aim, and then let go of his hand.

With a "boom", the arrow flew out, drawing an arc in the air.

The eyes of the people also fell into the furnace with this arrow.

At this moment, they were amazed in their hearts that His Highness's archery was quite accurate.

The next second, boom!!

The air and the ground shook suddenly, and a sky-high fire accompanied by a violent explosion instantly resounded in the sky above this place, and the furnace was blown to pieces in an instant, even if they stood fifty meters away, everyone still felt as if there was a heat wave coming to their faces.

Looking at the puff of white smoke that went straight into the sky, everyone was stunned by this intuitive shocking scene.

In order to have a quick-burning effect, Lu Qi added some 'cyanide' to it, and the results are quite satisfactory now.

Although Wenward's expression was not stunned at the moment, he still had a lot of shock in his eyes when he looked at the white smoke that had not yet dissipated and the pungent smell of gunpowder in the air.

He saw with his own eyes that Luki was preparing from scratch, and those sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal were not uncommon in life.

But no one ever thought of grinding these materials into a powder and mixing them together.

"This is black powder in its simplest form."

Lu Qi said loudly at this time, "This is the most basic way to use gunpowder, and based on this, there will be many extensions. ”

The stove just now is equivalent to a barrel of explosives, and its function is a simple and crude explosion.

Its power is also visible to the naked eye, but of course it has many drawbacks.

However, just researching this level of gunpowder was not Luki's goal.

What he really thought about was the extension of gunpowder, guns, explosives, shells.

Some things are unclear and must be invested in a certain amount of research, but for the scientific research institute, Lu Qi is their shortcut.

Human exploration of the unknown is a long time.

But the exploration of what is known will absorb it as quickly as a sponge meets water.

At this time, a group of scientific researchers, looking at the detonated gunpowder, had fallen into a feverish discussion.

They started their discussion from the beginning, their eyes flashing with a thirst for knowledge.

Lucci was happy with their state.

While Winward was in a daze, Lu Qi said, "Let's put the gunpowder aside for the time being." ”

Winward was stunned again, what does it mean to put gunpowder aside for the time being?

Looking at his puzzled eyes, Lu Qi said: "When I was looking through the library just now, I saw the dean's research on electricity, why did you give up in the end?" ”

Hearing this, Winward showed a wry smile, and he sighed and said, "Because at that time, I wasn't sure if it was right to continue such a study. ”

Lu Qi showed pity on his face: "The dean should continue to study." ”

In his library, he had seen several brief studies of the Demacians on electricity.

One of the representatives is Winward.

It was about eight years ago.

He had explored this power of nature, and the initial inspiration was that a thunderbolt struck the tree from the sky, instantly igniting the tree.

Seeing such an astonishing scene, Winward began to wonder if humans could control this power.

For the initial experiments with electricity, he found some demonic beasts that could generate electricity, as well as some eels that discharged electricity in the water.

Through these, Winward has a basic understanding of electricity.

In the step-by-step exploration, Winward's courage is getting bigger and bigger.

He even set his sights on the thunder, and for this purpose, he made a lightning rod.

A bolt of lightning struck the lightning rod smoothly, but it could not be stored for a long time, and it quickly dissipated.

Even so, Winward was overjoyed by the result, and he began to think about how he could keep the lightning.

But in the process, a big taboo was committed.

Since lightning has always been an unknown force to humans, three members of the research institute were killed in the process of exploration.

Winward's experiment was halted.

It is suspected that he was able to lure the thunder down by using some kind of magic.

After all, the first person who can have a relationship with thunder and lightning is the first person who flashes through everyone's mind.

In the history of Demacia, thunder and lightning have been a force that human beings fear and fear since ancient times, and how dare they say that they want to control it.

Under this pressure, Winward had to terminate his exploration of 'electricity'.

This is a pity for Lu Qi, he personally admires the talent of the dean in front of him.

Just like Naviss.

If these two were born in a place like Picheng, they would be two great inventors.

In fact, Winward's exploration direction is right, and even the lightning rod can be made for this, if he is given some time, I am afraid he can make Demacia usher in a lot of changes.

It's a pity that in Demacia, the word thunder and lightning is not very pleasant by birth.

"I think you should keep researching."

Lucci looked at the regret that flashed in Winward's eyes and said, "At Piltover, their use of electricity has spread to everyday life. For example, electric light, a technological product that can replace a candle and shine for a long time. ”

There are so many effects of electricity that I can't explain for a while.

And what made Luqi think this way was on the way to the corona's house that day.

It was dark all the way when it got dark, so Lucci thought about it.

Winward looked at Lu Qi, and couldn't help but have a light in his eyes: "This is indeed achievable, as far as I know, thunder and lightning contain a lot of energy, and its power is no less than gunpowder." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the extinguished gunpowder in the distance.

I even think that to some extent, thunder and lightning are more powerful than gunpowder.

Immediately afterward, he added: "And at the same time that the thunder and lightning cast this energy, it was accompanied by an aurora. Theoretically, we can use it to illuminate us as long as we find and preserve this energy, and at the same time refine this energy into one thousandth or one thousandth. ”

"Not bad."

After listening to his words, Lu Qi nodded, "Lightning in nature is an electric phenomenon, such as eels and thunderhorns, which can generate electricity. And in our lives, there are more ways to understand electricity than that. ”

Winward nodded, his expression as thoughtful as Navis.

In fact, they also know a little bit about this.

For example, sometimes when you touch each other, you will suddenly feel like an electric shock, or when you touch something.

"Electricity is reflected in many details of our lives, such as the more obvious one, when we undress and sleep, we occasionally hear a crackling sound. Or when you come into contact with someone else's hand, you will suddenly feel a pinprick in your fingertips, and when you get up in the morning and comb your hair, your hair will often float up. ”

Lu Qi said slowly, and then said, "This phenomenon is generally called electrostatic reaction. ”

looked at the two of them with serious expressions on their faces.

Lucci continued: "Electricity is an extremely important source of energy, and it has energy that can act on many objects, and this is called electromotive force. And when it comes to electricity, we have to mention magnetism. There is a special substance around the magnet that cannot be seen or touched, called the magnetic field. For example, some magnets, magnets, or compasses all have magnetic field reactions.

Magnetism, on the other hand, can generate electricity, and there is a key word to mention here, which is called electromagnetic induction.

Electromagnetic induction is a phenomenon in which electromotive force is induced due to changes in magnetic flux. ”

At this time, Lu Qi was already surrounded by a group of talents from the scientific research institute, and they all took paper and pen to record his words, looking extremely serious.

And Mei Li and Corson are not in enough positions at the moment, and they are confused.

There is a feeling that knowledge is slicing through the brain, but leaving no trace.

Electricity is much more difficult to talk about than gunpowder.

Because it's a pretty wide range of things.

But Luci knew he had to keep talking.

Looking around at the crowd at this moment, Lu Qi continued: "Electromagnetism is a physical concept, and it is also the direction of our main research in the future. The electromagnetic force is one of the four basic interactions in nature, and the other three interactions include gravitational interaction, weak interaction, and strong interaction. ”

At this time, after listening to his words, Winward asked: "Your Highness, can you explain the other three interactions?" ”

Lu Qi said: "Let's talk about the interaction of gravity first, as a simple example, if an apple falls on a tree, why doesn't the apple fall upward?" ”

When he said this question, the audience couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At this moment, it was as if an apple had smashed on their heads, and at the same time, it hurt a little, and at the same time, it suddenly made them feel a little sudden.

yes, why didn't this apple go up?

Winward thought for a moment and replied, "Mean, there is a force that attracts apples to smash down?" And this force is also the reason why we walk on the ground, the reason why the boat can float on the sea. ”

Lu Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this kind of force, we can call it gravitational force. ”

Gravitation, gravity.

At this moment, the personnel of the scientific research institute looked at Lu Qi, and their eyes could be said to be extremely fanatical, and their faces were extremely excited, eager for him to continue.

"The law of gravitation states that any two objects in nature are attracted to each other, and that the magnitude of the gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the quadratic of their distance."

Luch opened his mouth and continued to preach.

He never imagined that he would one day be able to revisit the knowledge of physics.

I never thought that I would be in a place where my personal strength is strong enough to destroy a country, talking about science.

Although there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by physics, such as magic.

But for many people who don't have access to this level, physics is still the core.

You can't expect everyone to be as powerful as the Ascendant, and you can't expect everyone to learn magic.

Therefore, under this premise, technology is a path that must be taken.

All Lucie can do is provide some shortcuts as he explores the path in Demacia.

After mastering these, Demacia's convenience in life will naturally be greatly improved.

Lu Qi did this for himself.

He also hopes that one day he may be able to develop something like a mobile phone, so that he will not have to write letters when he goes out in the future.

Now that he has opened this mouth, there is too much for Lu Qi to say.

These people in front of me can almost be said to be new to the physics world.

But the good news is that they all have extremely high talents.

In the field, the two siblings Mei Li and Corson were the most crotch-pulling, but even they were not slow to absorb this knowledge at all.

And these people present will also be the future giants of the Demacian physics community.

For the rest of the morning, Lu Qi was talking endlessly.

The scientific researchers have recorded a whole book of what he said, and they are ready to go back in the evening to study it like a treasure.

At this time, Lu Qi looked up, looked at the sky above him, and stopped.

Feeling a little hungry, Lu Qi said, "That's all for today, and the rest for tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and left.

"Don't!"

"Your Highness! Let's talk about it again! ”

"I have a lot more to ask."

"Tomorrow? Your Highness, don't you want me to die! ”

All of a sudden, a bunch of people behind him immediately surrounded him, looking at Lu Qi hungry one by one, and even Winward couldn't care about being reserved.

I almost had to hug Luqi to keep him.

They just heard about it, and suddenly stopped talking about it, isn't this pure and torturous!

The thought of being able to continue listening tomorrow made everyone even more unbearable.

However, a bunch of people were stunned and didn't hold Lu Qi, watching him sit in the carriage and staggering away, they couldn't help but stop where they were and sighed.

But after two sighs, he went to study the book in his hand like a baby.

Winward looked at the carriage in the distance, and sighed helplessly, and then looked at the book full of knowledge in his hand, and he sighed again.

Before meeting Luqi, Demacia's scientific research institute could not be called a scientific research institute at all.

Sound waves, gunpowder, electromagnetism, gravity, strong and weak interactions.

It is only now that the scientific research institute finally has a bit of scientific research.

And he also had a hunch that there was still a long way to go in the next scientific research in Demacia.

Lu Qi lay down in the carriage tired and drank a sip of herbal tea, his mouth was a little dry from what he had said this morning.

And he also experienced what it was like to be a teacher.

However, unlike other teachers, his group of students is extremely worry-free.

A lot of things just need to be explained once and they can understand them.

Thinking that after teaching them, the next step would be much more worry-free, and Lu Qi's mood was also relaxed.

It took an hour for the carriage to finally stop at the door of the house.

I got out of the carriage and walked into the courtyard.

Lux, who was lying on a chair basking in the sun, looked over and asked curiously, "What did you do in the morning?" ”

Lu Qi said casually: "Go and do something." ”

Lux was surprised, "What else can you do?" ”

"How do you speak? Do you think everyone is like you as a salted duck egg? ”

Lucky glanced at her.

"You're the salted duck egg!" Lux glared at him unhappily, then thought for a moment and blinked curiously, "Are salted duck eggs delicious?" ”

"It's okay."

Seeing her greedy look, Luki laughed and walked to the kitchen.

At this time, it was already more than half of noon, and by the time he had made lunch, the girls who were a little hungry had already gathered in the restaurant and waited.

After a quick lunch, it's time to relax in the afternoon.

And at this time, in the living room.

Watching Miss Crownback take out a few assignments, she had the momentum of studying seriously, which made many people stunned.

Kasina couldn't help but ask, "Lux, what's wrong with you?" ”

Luxe raised her head strangely when she heard this: "What's wrong?" ”

Kasina looked at the homework in front of her, and stopped talking, "Your personality doesn't look like the type to do this kind of thing at such a time." ”

"Hmph."

Hearing this, Lux snorted, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and then said seriously, "The me I used to be no longer exists!" Now I have decided to study hard! Work hard! ”

Hearing her words, everyone present widened their eyes, as if they had seen some unbelievable scene.

This, this, this. Has the sun risen in the west?

After Lux finished speaking, he picked up the pen and began to write, his expression extremely serious.

From this scene, the women were shocked as if they saw her determination.

Lu Qi sat at the mahjong table at this time and began to shake people: "Mahjong is missing three, come quickly." ”

"It's coming!"

I saw an extremely neat response, and then a figure rushed out and directly grabbed a mahjong position.

The women were slightly stunned again.

Looking at Lux, who had teleported from the couch to the mahjong table, they rubbed their eyes.

Kahina couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say study hard? ”

Lux showed a cute smile: "This holiday has seven days, even if you have to study hard, you have to combine work and rest, don't you?" ”

The women: "."

We thought, you haven't started to work!

Settle for less, right?

Just when Kahina was stunned, the four positions of the mahjong table were already filled.

She could only watch the battle for a while.

Lux confidently pushed his little hand to the card: "Look at me eating three today!" ”

As it turned out, she really ate three in one go.

This Nizi's luck is not too good lately, and from time to time she makes a self-draw three.

Even Lucky's work was a little overwhelming.

But mahjong is addictive.

Even if you lose a lot, when you draw a big card and put the cards on the table, the feeling of gambling gods will come up all of a sudden.

Then wait until the wallet is empty, and under the shrill smug laughter of a certain little golden retriever, it is too late to regret it.

Unwilling and angry came to my heart, and only one sentence flashed through my mind.

That is, fight again tomorrow!

Time flickered, and half a month passed.

On September 2nd, the weather was fine.

As the flavor of autumn thickens, the temperature becomes colder and colder.

There is an extra piece of clothing on the body, but it is also a pleasure to bask in the sun this season, the sun is not so bright and sunny, but it exudes a mildness.

It emits a light that is at the right temperature and is extremely comfortable.

The Crown's Mansion.

"Alas!"

Early in the morning, from Miss Crown's room, there was a low, dejected sigh.

in the room.

Lux lay limply on the desk, her face resting on the cold tabletop, her face quite shocked, and her eyes fell on the journal beside her.

Apparently, the source of her devastation was this diary.

Lux sat up and flipped through the diary she had written on a whim.

On August 8, the weather was fine.

Stimulated by a certain guy, I decided to open a new diary and push myself to study hard today.

I can still recall the sneering look in that slut's eyes before he left today. His humiliation of me will only become the motivation for me to become stronger, from today onwards, study hard!

Well, let's start tomorrow and help that guy clean up today, I'm so tired.

But I had a lollipop and pudding, and I was happy.

I couldn't sleep a little, and I remembered what my mother had just talked to me about, I really can't go on like this!

On August 9, the weather was fine.

Study hard and start today.

On August 10, the weather was fine.

On the second day of hard work, I felt the knowledge flowing in my blood, and this feeling was wonderful.

On August 11, the weather was fine.

On the third day of hard study, I felt as if I was swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and the fragrance of knowledge was everywhere.

Today, I memorized the text until 12 o'clock.

I have to say, I worked so hard.

On August 12, the weather was fine.

On the fourth day of studying hard, I may have choked on knowledge, and my head hurt when I slept today, and I thought I should take a day off.

Well, let's rest today!

On August 13, the weather was fine.

My mother just came and beat me again, why?

She'd already beaten me.

I don't understand!

Also, in the year 679 of the Demacian calendar, on the thirteenth day of August, the slut Luch caused me to be beaten up, no, twice!

I've made a note of this hatred!

Although it was wrong for me to make a small report with my aunt first, this slut also played with my feelings.

I really shouldn't have trusted him so easily!

It's so damning!

But this guy made egg tarts and tiramisu today, which are super delicious, forgive him for the time being.

August 14, the weather was cloudy.

Today it seems to be raining, I still like rain, I remember when it rained when I was a child, I went to the rain so that I could not go to school if I was sick.

However, it turned out that I didn't get sick when I went to school, but I got sick on Saturdays and Sundays

But I still like the rain.

After waiting for a day, not a drop of rain fell.

Because of this, a bet with that slut lost to him for a gold coin.

But it's not a big problem, win it back from his pocket next time!

Tomorrow is the Yiqiu Festival, and I am very happy to think that there will be seven days of vacation waiting for me in the future.

August 15, Yiqiu Festival.

Yesterday's cloudy sky suddenly dissipated, and today I made two lanterns and went to see the celebration with everyone.

Sister Sana doesn't like crowded places, so we came back to accompany her in the second half.

Playing mahjong won twenty gold, hehe.

I ate mooncakes at night, and the lanterns I made were lit up, so beautiful.

Everyone also released Kong Ming lanterns, and it is said that if you put your wish inside, it will come true.

I have many wishes, but His Highness said that I can only choose one, so I chose the most recent one.

Hopefully it will come to fruition.

Also, I had a great time today.

On August 16, the weather was fine.

I remembered that I had to study hard, but there were still five days left in the holidays, so I had a little fun today, and it didn't matter.

Won that guy forty gold today, hahaha, happy!

On August 17, play cards and win fifty.

On August 18, play cards and win seventy.

On August 19, play cards and win forty.

It seems that there are only two days left on the holiday.

Lux, Lux! How can you be so depraved that you have forgotten all the study plans you have set before? It can't go on like this!

Start tomorrow and study hard!

August 20, play cards, win sixty.

August 21, play cards and win a hundred.

The guy who won today is cracked, haha, he touched a national warrior.

It's so comfortable!

So the question is, what to do with homework during the holidays?

I will fight until dawn!

August 22, fine.

I fell asleep in Mr. Morse's class again, and that slut even ran into the academy to laugh at me, what a hate!

I suspect that the guy deliberately lured me into playing cards every day, but I couldn't find any evidence.

Forget it, for the sake of winning him a lot of money every day, forgive him.

I was beaten up by my mother again today, and she didn't even ask for a reason, damn it, is this kind of domineering dictatorship really okay?

August 23, fine.

At today's family meeting, I formally proposed to cancel my mother's veto, and this family can't just have the final say!

But she voted down

Damn, is this kind of domineering dictatorship really okay?

August 24, cloudy.

It was raining, and the cool light rain reflected my sad heart.

The third-to-last in the exam, damn it, all my hard work for so many days has been in vain!

Isn't that what life is all about? Ups and downs.

It was only after working hard that I realized how comfortable it was to not work hard.

I really envy that guy.

At this time, only playing cards can soothe my wounded heart.

Win eighty, hehe.

August 25, cloudy.

The weather has been cloudy for two days in a row, but my mood has improved because I have eaten a new dessert today, ginger and milk, which is delicious!

Tomorrow is a Saturday and Sunday, happy.

Playing cards in the afternoon and winning another fifty.

August 26, fine.

It got so cold after the rain, and the guy went out again in the morning.

He hasn't seen anyone every morning lately, and I suspect he didn't take me with him when he went out to play.

Today I won one hundred and two in poker, and that guy lost numbly.

Alas, it's really lonely to be invincible.

On August 27, play cards and win thirty.

On August 28, the boring school life began again, when did the Royal Academy close down?

August 29, it's been two days, Lux, come on! Three days to go!

August 30, two days to go!!

August 31, one day to go!!

On September 1st, I finally got through it! Tomorrow is a Saturday and Sunday, happy!

"Happy ghost"

Seeing this, Lux once again lay weakly on the desk.

Turning to the first page of the diary, looking at the words 'newly opened this diary, in order to urge myself to study hard from today', I only felt very dazzling.

Lux recalled what she had done for nearly a month.

Either lying down with that guy in that yard or playing cards

What about studying hard?!

Closing the journal completely, Lux couldn't bear to look at it again.

At the end of the day, what's the point of writing this diary yourself?

After a few seconds of froze, Lux suddenly sat up, her eyes showing unprecedented firmness, and clenched her fists.

"I decided! Start today and cancel your learning program! ”

She threw the diary into the trash very simply, and suddenly felt extremely happy.

Just like that guy said, a lot of things don't really care about the outcome, it's the process that matters.

At least, she had tried!

Start playing cards today!
