Diqin Designer

Chapter 249 Your Dream

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused great interest among the students. Even teachers like Zhuang Huang and Li Shiqi looked over. This person also knew how to fly?
That's flying. From ancient times to the present, many people have yearned for it, but they don't know how to fly into the sky. No one has ever seen anyone flying in real life, only heard of it in legends.

Seeing the longing looks on the students' faces, Li Nian smiled and said, "Flying is not difficult, but it is not easy to fly safely and stably. If you study hard here, you will be able to do it sooner or later."

It is not easy to build an airplane, but making a hot air balloon is not that difficult. If you don't care about human lives and use firearms to send people into the sky like Wan Hu did, the Qin Dynasty can do it now.

Li Nian said: "The study of the study of things is broad and profound, and I only know a tiny part of it. In the process of studying the study of things, you will encounter a lot of 'I learned this, but it seems to be useless', but I hope you can persist in learning."

"We can learn and then leave it there without using it, but we can't wait until we need it to learn. The world is big and there is a lot of knowledge. I hope you can bring different changes to Daqin."

After hearing what Li Nian said, the students said, "We will definitely follow your words!"

Looking at the sky, it was already noon. Li Nian called all the students and said, "Let's go and have lunch. This is the time when you are growing up."

Li Nian took the students to the cafeteria again. There were several cafeterias like this in Liuying Palace. After all, there were too many people in Liuying Palace now, including craftsmen, guards, alchemists, scholars, and doctors. These people were not immortals and all needed to eat.

After arriving at the cafeteria, everyone smelled the aroma of food. Many students couldn't help swallowing their saliva, as they were also a little hungry.

Li Nian said: "Everyone, when you eat in the future, you should do it like this. First, get the plate, chopsticks, bowl, and spoon from here, and then go to the window to line up for food. Let me show you how to do it!"

Being with these students, Li Nian felt as if she had returned to the time when she was studying in modern times. It was a relatively carefree and happy time. Unfortunately, she did not study seriously at that time, nor did she understand the adults' advice to study, and she never expected to travel through time to the Qin Dynasty.

After getting the tableware, Li Nian came to a window. The eunuch in charge of serving food at this window, when he saw Li Nian coming, he hurriedly bowed.

Li Nian waved his hand to stop him. Since he was facing Li Nian, how could the eunuch dare to tremble like the aunt in a modern cafeteria? Naturally, he served Li Nian a full plate.

Following suit, the students also prepared their own meals and sat together according to the classes they had been divided into not long ago. These selected students were not too young and already had a certain ability to live independently, so it was impossible to let in a four or five-year-old child and have someone take care of him/her.

Li Nian said: "This is your first meal since you enrolled, and it is also your welcome meal. Welcome to your school, and I hope you will study and live happily here!"

Seeing that the students were about to stand up to thank him, Li Nian said, "No need to be polite, please sit down, we will eat and chat! You are all the future talents of our Great Qin, and you will become the pillars of our Great Qin and work hard for the prosperity of our Great Qin. I would like to ask what you want to do in the future?"

What do you want to do? How do you say it?
It would be bad if I said something wrong!
Seeing that no one stood up to speak, Li Nian continued: "Working hard for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty is a broad proposition, but it is not so for individuals. It is relatively certain. Some of you may want to be officials, and some may want to fight on the battlefield... You can all talk about it."

After hearing what Li Nian said, someone stood up and said, "My lord, I want to lead the army to kill the enemy, pacify the rebellious for my Great Qin, and expand the territory!" Li Nian nodded and said, "It's a good idea, but if you want to lead the army to kill the enemy and expand the territory, you must learn geography well, and also learn mathematics and the study of things, so that you can lead the army well. In the future, the Great Qin will be divided into the army and the navy. Which army do you want to be the general of?"

This student had never heard of the concept of navy, let alone thought about it. Li Nian smiled and said, "The navy is the army that operates at sea. Our world has more oceans than land. Although we live on land now, the importance of the ocean will become more and more important in the future."

"If you want to join the navy and lead the Qin fleet across the world, you must study harder because the sea is more mysterious and the environment is more unpredictable than land. No one can fully predict what they will encounter at sea, so you will need more knowledge."

"In the future, when you go into battle and kill the enemy, you will not only need personal bravery, but also knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom will sometimes be more important than personal bravery!"

The student assured Li Nian: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will definitely study hard!"

After this student took the lead, other students stood up. The male students basically said, "I want to be a general, defend the Qin Dynasty, and expand the territory for Your Majesty; I want to be an official, and govern a region." The female students almost all said they wanted to become doctors, and Li Nian praised them all.

Until a student stood up and expressed an idea different from the previous student, he hesitated and said: "Sir, I want to go to the foreign land and bring back news of foreign countries for Daqin!"

Other students talked about becoming generals or officials, but he talked about going on adventures in foreign lands. Unlike others, many students looked at him strangely.

Li Nian didn't look at him strangely, but praised him: "You want to be an adventurer? This is also a very good idea!"

"There are many places in the world that are different from the Qin Dynasty. The people and things there are different from those in the Qin Dynasty. People like you are just right to go to these unknown places and be the pioneers of the Qin Dynasty's exploration, bringing back the most timely and accurate local news."

"But if you want to become a qualified adventurer and explore around the world, you need to learn more. Not only do you need to be physically strong, but you also need to understand climate knowledge, know multiple languages, understand medical principles, and identify medicinal herbs so that you can deal with difficulties when you encounter them during your adventures."

Seeing that Li Nian not only did not refute his idea, but also praised him and told him what to learn, the student said excitedly: "Thank you for your guidance, thank you for your guidance, I will definitely study hard!"

After this student who wanted to be an adventurer, the students' answers began to become more diverse. Another student stood up and said, "Sir, I want to fly. What should I do?"

Li Nian smiled and said, "You don't need to learn as much as being a general or an adventurer, but you must learn it thoroughly and deeply. And this is not something you can accomplish alone. You also need a group of like-minded people, and Daqin needs to have the corresponding foundation."

Listening to the various ideas put forward by these Daqin students, Li Nian seemed to see the scene when he was in elementary school and was asked by his teacher, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" Unfortunately, most of the people back then were unable to realize the ideas they said.
