Lucky's self-proclaimed eyesight.

So he saw the disgust in Miss Crown's eyes, as if he were sitting here and trying to restrain her.

To prove that whether he is sitting here or not, it can't change the fact that she is going unlucky.

Luci stood up and walked to the kitchen, ready to make lunch.

As a result, just after walking two steps, I heard a crisp voice of excitement in the excitement of Luck behind him: "Hu! Happy seniors! ”

Lu Qi's footsteps paused, and silently quickened his pace.

I muttered in my heart, it's not so outrageous, is it?

However, I heard later that Miss Crowned Guard came back with a lot of killings, and although she still lost, she didn't lose much.

The main reason for losing is because of the unparalleled national soldier who ordered the shot.

Since then, she has resisted Luqi sitting next to her and watching mahjong.

Luki said he was innocent.

After lunch, there was more sunlight outside, but even so, the coldness in the air didn't make Lu Qi have any thoughts of basking in the sun.

He lay on the couch in the living room, squandering his time, waiting for the afternoon to come, and finally sat up from the couch.

When I think about it, when I came back, I didn't seem to have gone to the scientific research institute to take a look.

After thinking about it, he cleaned up a little, and then told Yuna to prepare the carriage.

After a short time, the carriage headed in the direction of the scientific research base.

The end of the month is approaching, and the year is approaching, and the people on the streets are looking more and more, buying all kinds of New Year's goods to prepare for the New Year in a few days.

The good news of the complete victory in the battle outside the Kanwai also made their faces smile more reassuring.

The carriage drove until there were fewer and fewer people around, and finally stopped at the entrance of the research base.

Luki walked all the way inside, nodded to some of the people who came to say hello, and then asked where Winward was, and then headed all the way.

Soon, he arrived in an open area.

As soon as he approached, he heard Nevis's surprised voice: "Your Highness, you are here!" ”

After nearly two months of not seeing her, she looked a little taller, wearing a serious white robe, quite a bit of a strong intellectual taste.

This couldn't help but make a word flash through Luqi's mind.

'Graduate School Entrance Examination Small Landmine'.

refers to the kind of girl who is not big, but she is still studying or going to graduate school, and she is fierce.

Looking at Nevis, Luch had a smile on his face: "Long time no see." ”

"His Royal Highness."

At this time, Wenward also nodded to Lu Qi.

"Hello Dean."

Lu Qi said hello, his eyes skipped over Winward and looked behind him, his eyes lit up.

The sight of a three-meter-high iron locomotive, about six or seven meters long, with a steam outlet above it, was somewhat similar to the locomotive in Ludge's impression, and it was now standing horizontally on a winding track.

"We're currently testing the stability of the steam engine, and now it's ready to be used as a power engine, but I think there's still a lot to be desired."

Wenward saw Lu Qi's gaze, followed it, and explained aloud.

At this time, there are two scientific researchers, constantly modifying something in the gap opened by the locomotive, which is a very complex mechanical assembly.

Lucci asked aloud, "Is it already working properly in orbit?" ”

"Yes, but it's not stable, so I've been debugging it all the time."

Winward nodded, giving the two researchers a look.

So the two of them assembled the notch, got on the locomotive, and began to operate, first turning on the switch, and then adding water to the steam engine, and the steady flow of water continued to pour in.

After about three minutes, I turned on the gas switch again, put the coal in it, closed the door, and lit the fire, which was very smooth.

When the coal was ignited, a thick cloud of smoke and dust was emitted directly down the vent.

With the faint light of the fire flickering for a while, white steam began to gush out, making a "whine" humming sound.

You can feel that the steam engine is already running, and white steam is constantly gushing out from several exhaust ports.

Immediately, a scientific researcher sitting in the position stepped on the accelerator.

The whole locomotive shook for a moment, and then the steel wheels slowly started to run under the drive of a wave of energy, and at the same time made a sound of "clang~clan~clan~".

Immediately, the locomotive began to move slowly, the sound became more frequent, and the speed of progress began to increase under the billowing smoke of coal.

The locomotive followed the tracks, moving around the tracks at a modest speed.

It seems that the fastest speed at the moment is already like this.

However, it is already very powerful to be able to do this, and after seeing this scene, even Lu Qi had to sigh in his heart, the place of the scientific research institute is really a nest of talents.

In such a short period of time, they made another major breakthrough in the field of steam engines.

You know, at this moment, it's not just the locomotive that's running.

It is also the wheel of Demacia on the track of the times.

The use of the steam engine and the movement of the locomotive represented the evolution of Demacia from horses and carriages, simple means of transportation, to more abundant places.

When the time comes, smelting, textiles, machine building, trains, ships, and even automobiles will no longer be dreams.

Even Lu Qi, at this moment, felt a little excited in his heart.

After four or five turns, the locomotive stopped.

"We think the reason for the slowness is that the steam doesn't have enough kinetic energy, and we also have the problem of water and coal consumption. This is also the direction in which we are improving, and we already have ideas. ”

Lu Qi listened and nodded slightly: "I think it's already fast to achieve this level." There's no need to be in a hurry, it's better to rest for a few more days. ”

"Our rest is sufficient, so we don't have to worry about it, after all, everyone understands that the body is the capital."

Winward smiled and said, "It's just that when I'm free, I can't help but think about it." For us, it's a bit of fun. ”

If you want to say tired, you must be tired.

This locomotive, with countless components installed in it, even the steam engine in it, is something that many people have stayed up late to research.

However, no one felt irritable, but rather had a sense of enjoyment.

Because, for those who love scientific research, when they see that a product that can change the times is being born through their own hands, their hearts are naturally extremely excited.

In the process, Winward has even seen what the future of Demacia will look like.

Now every minute and every second of their efforts is for that day to come as soon as possible.

When he left the scientific research institute, Lu Qi's mood was still very emotional.

Feeling the carriage moving beneath him, he felt that it would not be long before he could get into the car.

The difficulty of developing a car is naturally doubled, but at least he has seen hope.

The carriage traveled all the way, stopping at the Illuminator Chapel.

It was already evening, and after getting out of the carriage, Luci saw Cassina and Lux carrying wooden boxes, one in and one out, as if they were very busy.

The two energetic figures stayed in harmony with the surrounding people and children, and there was no trace of disobedience, they had smiles on their faces, and the soft light of the sunset sprinkled on their faces, which was a little more beautiful.

After going abroad, Lux and Kacina turned positive and officially became members of the Light.

But for them, it's actually no different from usual.

Soon, Kahina saw Lu Qi first, her eyes lit up, her pretty face was a little more happy, and she trotted over: "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Come by and take a look, what are you busy with?" ”

Kahina said: "Some New Year's goods, for the children in the church, such as new clothes and shoes. There are a few other things. ”

Lu Qi nodded: "I'll help too." ”

Kahina shook her head and said, "No need, it's almost over, Your Highness will wait for us for a while." ”

With that, she beckoned and ran back.

In the distance, Lux also noticed Lu Qi, but this girl was still alive in the morning, Lu Qi asked her to ignite the anger of the national warrior and didn't want to deal with him.

After a short wait, the children came to talk to Luki.

They look a little taller, but they're still kids.

After another ten minutes, Lux and Kacina were also busy, and the two girls walked side by side, looking a little tired, but the corners of their slightly smiling mouths also showed that they felt fulfilled in this life.

Get in the carriage and drive all the way in the direction of home.

In the carriage.

Lux relaxed, stretched, and said lazily: "The New Year is going to be in a few days." ”

"yes." Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Kahina answered, and sighed: "It feels like time flies so fast." ”

She couldn't help but glance at Lucky, and then at the Illuminator Chapel, which was gradually pulling away.

Memories seem to be stuck in the first time she and Lucci first met.

The first time they met, it was in this church that Lux Ribbon brought over.

Before she knew it, she found that her life was full of Lu Qi's figure.

"It's been months since my birthday in the blink of an eye."

Lux nodded sympathetically, and her little face was also full of emotion: "It's like a blink of an eye, obviously I feel like sitting in class is still yesterday." ”

"Isn't that what you want?"

Kahina laughed.

This time they went to the border as lighters, and both of them missed most of their studies in the second half of the semester, and now it was the vacation of the previous year.

After a while, you can graduate directly.

For Lux, this should be a great thing.

"It's good, it's just a little nostalgic."

Lux sighed, but in fact, she couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing this, Lu Qi proposed: "If you miss it so much, why don't you repeat it for another semester?" ”

Lux rolled her eyes at him, ignoring her, and continued to chat with Kashina.

The two girls still sighed at the passage of time.

Lucky's bored yawn, a little sleepy.

Lux looked at him, "You don't have anything to say?" ”

Lu Qi said strangely: "What do you say?" ”

"Time." Lux said, "Don't you think time flies quickly?" ”

"I don't think so." Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "But I do have something to say. ”

"What is it?"

Both Lux and Kasina looked at it, and their beautiful eyes flashed with some anticipation.

"Congratulations to you two years older."

As Lu Qi spoke, his white teeth were exposed.

In one sentence, it teaches you how to spoil the atmosphere and how to harvest two pairs of white eyes.

Anyway, what Lu Qi said in the second half, the two girls ignored him.

When I finally got home, I got out of the carriage and it was getting dark.

Entering the living room, the fireplace exuded a warm temperature, dispelling the chill on several people.

Fiona was sitting in front of the fireplace, holding a book in her hand, looking at it quietly.

Sana and Caterina were playing backgammon, while Poppy was sitting on a small bench and watching.

When Lux and the others returned, the living room suddenly became lively.

Lu Qi sat on the couch, napping in a daze.

Fiona, who was reading the book, remembered something, put down the book, and looked at him: "By the way, there are many letters in your mailbox, and it is best to read them if you have time." ”

"Letter?" When Lu Qi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, stood up and went outside the hospital.

Soon, he retrieved it, sat down on the couch, and looked up.

When I saw some familiar signs, the image of a lively girl flashed in my mind.

There were six letters in his hand, all with the same logo, sent from afar, and Lu Qi naturally would not forget them.

This logo represents Glenlot, an ally of Demacia.

The sender of the letter was naturally Panis.

She did say that she would write to Lu Qi for a long time, but she didn't expect to really stick to it.

If a letter is counted as seven days, this earliest letter was nearly a month and a half ago.

At that time, he was already on his way to the border, so naturally he didn't see the letter.

When I came back, I did forget about it for a while.

When I opened the letter, I read it one by one, at first I just shared some daily trivial matters, and I could see the excitement of Panis's pen from the letter.

In the second letter, Panis learns about the Gate of Sorrow, and expresses her concern and condolences in the letter.

In the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, Panis's tone was a little more resentful, and although she didn't say it explicitly, she was clearly concerned that she hadn't received a reply from Lucie.

Lu Qi was still outside the country at this time, and of course he didn't see the letter.

After reading the letters one by one, Lu Qi knew that if he didn't reply to one letter, the princess of the neighboring country might be able to kill the royal capital directly.

So when he got up, he returned to his room and began to write.

After writing the letter, he immediately arranged for Yuna to send it out.

When he was done, it was almost time for Lu Qi to prepare dinner.

After dinner, he sat outside the courtyard and watched the moonlight, the surroundings were very quiet, and he suddenly remembered the conversation between the two girls in the carriage.

Time seems to pass really fast.
