The crimson clouds in the west began to fade, replaced by nightfall.
On this side of the hillside, there were a few tired birds returning to their nests in the forest; on the other side of the hillside, there were two young people chatting.
After having a light meal, Qi Xiao and Chu Zhongtian went to the hot air balloon to guard it to prevent passers-by from accidentally destroying it.
This toy has a novel appearance and is bound to be picked up by curious passers-by to study.
So, it’s better to keep a close eye on it!
In addition to nursing care, Chu Zhongtian also specially brought the ‘kerosene gas lamp’, and he planned to conduct on-site experiments here after dark.
Since it was still early, the two began to discuss knowledge.
Communicating with experts is a rare opportunity for improvement, so Chu Zhongtian enjoys it very much.
Qi Xiao also spoke highly of him.
In the traditional culture of "teaching apprentices to starving masters to death", it is not uncommon to cherish one's own skills.
He is willing to share with others, which is very generous.
However, Qi Xiao wanted to know more than exchanging knowledge, what was Chu Zhongtian's motivation for making this invention?
His family was poor, and playing with these things that were not meant for eating or drinking was far less practical than having a bucket of rice wrapped around his belly.
If so, why did he have to do this?
Finally, Qi Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Chu Zhongtian seemed to have something to hide, he was hesitant and speechless.
After a while, he seemed to let go of his worries and explained the reason.
"As I said before, the purpose of my research on this lamp is really for lighting at night. My mother's eyesight is very bad, and it is difficult to see clearly under the flames of lamps and candles, so I made up my mind to develop this lamp...
"
"Tsk tsk! Brother Chu is really a filial piety, Qi really admires him!"
Qi Xiao first praised, and then asked: "For now, kerosene is still a scarce commodity, and except for military factories, it is basically out of reach of others. If this is the case, where did Brother Chu get it?
?”
Chu Zhongtian sighed softly and said: "To be honest with you Sir, my father asked me to come here through personal connections..."
What?
Do you still have a father?
I thought you were a single parent!
However, when Qi Xiao thought about it carefully, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: They didn't say clearly that he didn't have a father? It seemed that his personal thinking was too speculative.
"Excuse me, sir, how do you address me?"
"My father's name is taboo, Sun Yue Gong!"
"What? You said you are Sun Bao's son?"
"Well……"
Apart from anything else, the age difference is quite extraordinary!
Could it be that that old, corrupt, old cow is eating young grass and secretly raising a house outside?
Seeing that Qi Xiao seemed to have a misunderstanding, Chu Zhongtian quickly gave a detailed explanation.
According to him, this was an unlucky debt left over ten years ago.
At that time, Sun Yue was named in the Gongjin List and passed the first-class tribute examination, which was a great success.
However, his luck was bad.
Because he wrote his name vertically and in an sloppy way, Emperor Taizong misread it as "Sun Bao". Therefore, he was completely excluded from the imperial examination on the grounds that his name was indecent.
Sun Yue Gong, who gave up on himself, began to become moody after returning to Qiong. He often took out his anger on insults from his family members. It was at that time that he divorced his young concubine Chu due to a short-circuit in his brain.
Later, Qi Yu came to Qiongzhou and auditioned talents, and he finally saw the light of day.
Time flies and flies by.
It was not until the beginning of this year that Sun Yuegong suddenly learned that Chu, whom Xiu had abandoned, was actually pregnant at the time. Moreover, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy the following year.
Although Mrs. Chu was a woman, she adhered to the concept of chastity and never served two husbands, so she and her son lived together.
As for his son, he could only choose to take his mother's surname and name him Chu Zhongtian.
After hearing the news, Sun Yue Gong burst into tears and regretted it. However, the mistake had been made, and he could only make up for it as much as possible.
Give money, give rice, give connections!
But Ms. Chu was determined not to do any of these. She also said: "I will starve to death without eating the food that comes to me."
Sun Yue Gong was so upset that he had no choice but to leave in anger.
Later, he accidentally learned that his son was looking around for help with kerosene, so he used his connections to do something about it.
After you get it, entrust others to transfer it as a gift.
Sun Bao is a senior professor in Qiongzhou Province. He is famous all over the world and his prestige is extraordinary. Even Tao Ci and Lai Dayuan, who are new scholars in the science and technology industry, are his students. So with his current status, there is absolutely no difficulty in blending some kerosene.
Even the officials in the military department have to treat him a little bit thinly.
The above is the cause and effect.
The two of them, one spoke sincerely and the other listened carefully, did not notice at all that Qi Yu and his party were listening secretly.
In fact, Qi Dalang found this place half an hour ago.
It was about his son's safety, how could he dare to waste even a moment?
Besides, this is still a search for someone in your own territory, what’s so difficult about it?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the scouts who were out to explore the location of the hot air balloon Qi Xiao left in the wild.
The main reason why he didn't show up was because Qi Dalang saw the bright "kerosene gas lamp".
He also wanted to know how bright this lamp was.
Regarding this type of lamp, he had the idea of manufacturing it a long time ago. However, because Qi Xiao was too busy, he was never arranged to do the research and development of this kind of lamp.
However, he didn't expect that someone would actually walk in front of him.
This also directly proves that the creativity of our Chinese people is infinite. As long as you can pave the way forward, they can fly forward.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, your education must keep up.
It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people.
Education must be down-to-earth, step by step, there are no shortcuts. It must also teach students in accordance with their aptitude and provide all-round training.
If it is just rote memorization in exam-oriented education, how can the people be creative?
First, you have to learn to think independently!
For example, why does an apple fall to the ground instead of flying to the sky, etc.
Before that, Qi Yu was still complaining about the Polytechnic: The liberal arts have cultivated talents like Guo Chunhai, Tao Ci, and Lai Dayuan. When will the fruit trees of our sciences bear decent fruits?
Now, I finally see it!
It has to be said that the genes of the old beast Sun Bao are indeed strong, and the son he gave birth to is actually as talented as him.
While he was sighing, he suddenly heard Chu Zhongtian say: "It's dark now, we can test the lights."
Qi Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, I can't wait any longer!"
