The next day, Chang Xi did not go back to work at the tea brick workshop, but waited for Xie Yuxin's arrival in the other courtyard. Fortunately, he did not wait long, and Xie Yuxin's carriage arrived at the other courtyard.

As soon as Zhiying helped her daughter get off the carriage, she saw Mrs. Chang waiting here, she couldn't help being startled, and then her daughter smiled and went to greet Mrs. Chang affectionately.

"Sister Chang has been waiting for a long time, is it my sister's fault?" Xie Yuxin said apologetically, holding Chang Xi's hand.

In fact, she wanted to rush over after receiving the news from Chang Xi yesterday, but her mother refused to allow her to go out on the grounds that it was getting dark, and her father didn't support her, so she delayed until today.

Zhiying hurriedly said, "Our girl got up early today, and even breakfast is served in the carriage..."

Xie Yuxin has always been very tolerant to the maids around her, but she was upset by Zhiying's behavior, so she called softly, "Zhiying, go and pack your luggage first."

Only then did Zhiying realize that she had made a slip of the tongue and made the girl unhappy, so she found an excuse to dismiss herself.

Chang Xi just watched with cold eyes and didn't make a sound. After Zhiying retreated, she heard Xie Yuxin apologize, and she smiled and pulled Xie Yuxin to Lin Yuqi's laboratory, "It's just a servant. That's it, I still can't argue with you? Besides, she is right, you woke up early today, otherwise you wouldn't have arrived at the other hospital with this point. "

Seeing that Chang Xi wasn't angry, Xie Yu felt a little relieved, "I'm relieved that Sister Chang doesn't care about me."

Chang Xi spread her hands and said, "If I care about everything, will I still be alive?"

These words made people laugh and understand Yu's heart, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became better, and they forgot the little episode just now.

Hearing that Xie Yuxin was coming, Mrs. Bai hurried over to greet her. After the sister-in-law greeted her, she saw that the sister-in-law was not as cold-eyed to her as before, so she felt a little more at ease. It's better not to be a matchmaker for three generations. I used to think about seeing my husband-in-law for this sister-in-law. I really overestimated my capabilities.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and turned around early.

Xie Yuxin is not the kind of person who waits for a small belly. Seeing his eighth sister-in-law to be careful, he also finds something to say to her. After all, those things are in the past, so there is no need to worry about them.

When they arrived at Lin Yuqi's laboratory, Xie Jin and Xie Ming were also there. Obviously they were also very interested in this experiment, so even Xie Ming was lazy and didn't go to the tea brick workshop for a long time today.

"Why are you still here? Didn't you go in?" Mrs. Bai asked in puzzlement.

Jie Ming pointed to the still closed door with a wry smile, and said in a low voice, "The servants from Lin San's side came over and said, their third master won't let us in, unless the extraordinary lady and my sister come, otherwise who will be here today?" None."

I didn't see that even Lao Jiu, the owner of the other courtyard, was turned away, which is a rare thing.

Actually, Mrs. Bai didn't like to come here to deal with Lin Yuqi, he was just a weird person, but today Chang Xi and Xie Yuxin wanted to see the results of the experiment, so she came here to join in the fun.

Xie Yuxin knocked on the door as soon as he arrived, but Chang Xi walked over to Xie Jin's side and looked at him with a smile, "How do you feel about being turned away?"

Xie Jin saw that she was ready to read a joke, so he said helplessly: "Even if a capable person has a bad temper, I won't bother with him."

He didn't see it as his joke, Chang Xi had a look of regret on the surface, but in fact he had a deeper understanding of a cold and self-absorbed person like him.

Lin Yuqi heard the voice of knowing Yuxin, and personally opened the door to isolate the outside world, but he only saw the people he wanted to see, and he automatically ignored the others, so apart from knowing Yuxin , he only greeted Chang Xi.

"Chang Niangzi, come and see, the steam power I made." He waved to Chang Xi happily.

Chang Xi immediately left Xie Jin and ran over, and together with Xie Yuxin followed Lin Yuqi to the laboratory.

Xie Jin could only shake his head and follow in. In the end, it was Xie Ming and Bai's couple, who were at the bottom of the list anyway.

This laboratory has been remodeled. When Xie Jin heard that Lin Yuqi was doing experiments in another courtyard, he directly ordered the inner walls of several rooms to be knocked down, so the laboratory is quite spacious.

Lin Yuqi's servants and assistants hurriedly saluted these people, then put their hands aside and waited for orders.

When Chang Xi saw this crude but advanced machine in front of her, she was stunned for a while, and then immediately understood that the principles of science were interlinked, so even this machine was quite different from the machines she had seen in history textbooks in her previous life. resemblance.

Lin Yuqi excitedly explained to Xie Yuxin and Chang Xi, "Have you seen this? This is for adding firewood, and here is filled with water. After the water boils, the steam will be generated. Look, the gas It will rise to this level, and then push down the valve through the pipeline here, and then the machine wheel here will be able to turn, and finally the gas will go out here to push the valve back to its original position. Turning non-stop..."

He was gesticulating while talking.

It's a pity that except for Chang Xi and Xie Yuxin who can understand the working principle, everyone else is in a fog. Even Xie Jin, who has read a lot of miscellaneous books, is confused for the first time in his life. , frowning even more tightly, obviously not wanting to understand what Lin Yuqi said.

Xie Ming tries hard to understand, but the more he listens, the more his eyes look like mosquito coils.

Bai Shi gave up immediately, such profound principles were not something a woman like her could understand, so she wandered around the world the whole time.

Xie Yuxin participated in the discussion excitedly, and finally asked Lin Yuqi to try it out.

Lin Yuqi would never refuse his friends' requests. He raised his hand to signal the boy beside him to add firewood to the preset stove. After a while, the firewood started to burn, and the temperature of the room began to rise.

After a while, the wheels on the machine started to rotate and worked non-stop. At this moment, everyone except Chang Xi was stunned, and even Bai Shi, who was wandering in the sky, couldn't help but exclaimed, "My God, this wheel Is it really turning all the time, is there really no one shaking inside?"

"That's the power generated by the steam pushing the valve to keep the wheels turning." Chang Xi explained to Baishi.

"Oh oh oh." Mrs. Bai still didn't understand, but she resolutely didn't ask any questions, because she really didn't want to embarrass herself.

On the other hand, Xie Jin was amazed. After listening to Chang Xi's explanation, he gradually understood the working principle of this steam. At this moment, he suddenly understood why Chang Xi said it was epoch-making last time. What a terrifying productivity to use in all walks of life.

"You told me last time that someone from the foreign devils has already researched this and made a machine that can assist coal mines to discharge poisonous gas, so that coal mines will be much safer." He suddenly looked at Chang Xi and said.

Chang Xi didn't expect Xie Jin to remember this passage, so he nodded, "There is such a thing," and soon caught Xie Jin's intention, "You mean to give priority to designing such a machine?"

"Yes." Xie Jin said directly, "If there is such a machine that can reduce casualties, it will be a great merit. Besides, this kind of steam power needs to use firewood as energy, so the more useful coal mine is more suitable. In this way, the production capacity of coal mines has increased, which in turn can promote the development of steam power, and the two complement each other."

Chang Xi really wanted to give Xie Jin a thumbs-up right now. He had to say that an elite is an elite. Unlike himself, who is a latecomer and has the function of a prophet, he can make accurate judgments based on his own judgment, which is really rare.

"Your idea is right. Coal mines are indeed more suitable for steam power."

After hearing Chang Xi's words, Lin Yuqi immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right, why did I ignore the coal mine? Hurry up and bring some baskets of coal."

The servant assistant at the side immediately responded and hurriedly followed the instructions.

Xie Jin was very happy that Chang Xi recognized his point of view, but before he could say anything else, he heard Chang Xi staring at him and saying, "Master Xie Jiu, wait for the machine to be developed and mass-produced." , will our research institute do this business with the imperial court first?"

Resources such as coal mines have always been controlled by the imperial court, and private businesses are not allowed to mine. If they are discovered, it will be a serious crime and the family will suffer.

So this business can only be done with the court.

If it weren't for the presence of a group of outsiders, Xie Jin really wanted to hug Chang Xi and hold her high. She was really a roundworm in his stomach, "That's right, if you can successfully develop it, I will connect you with the imperial court."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was a little shocked. Didn't they come to see the results of the experiment?How did it develop into doing business with the imperial court?

Furthermore, if you want to grab the imperial court's wool, hehe, it's good if the imperial court doesn't swallow all this.

"It's too dangerous." Jie Ming licked his lips and said.

Chang Xi narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I don't think it's wrong to seek wealth and wealth."

Except for Xie Yuxin and Lin Yuqi who knew about Jin and were not involved in the matter, everyone else thought that Mrs. Chang was crazy. How could she blame the court?

Think you can't die fast enough?
Everyone couldn't understand, and Chang Xi didn't need them to understand. She understood that Xie Jin's proposal must have his reasons, and he had connections and energy to achieve this, so why didn't she follow the trend?

Besides, it is normal for business to be accompanied by risks, and the test at this time is the ability to withstand pressure.

She had already experienced this in her previous life.

"Do you have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other, Xie Jin smiled and said nothing.

"Since there are no objections, let's set the first project to be tackled by our institute." Chang Xi directly concluded happily.

But before that, there was still a problem that had to be settled first, so as soon as she left the laboratory, she sent people to the Lin's house to invite Mr. Lin to come over.
