Perhaps because of Yin Tao's encouragement, Qi Yu suddenly put aside his worries and expressed his idea of developing a hot air balloon.
Yin Meiren did not show much surprise at this novel thing.
She studied liberal arts and science, and she understood the truth after just a brief thought.
Isn’t the Kongming messenger lantern commonly used in the military just a scaled-down example?
Therefore, this thing is not a new creation, it is just a slight upgrade of the knowledge left by the ancestors.
Yin Tao is also no stranger to oil.
She is proficient in history and can recite almost all the records about it like a treasure.
In other words, oil is nothing new.
Now that we know everything, there is nothing to be surprised about.
After expounding his ideas, Qi Yu put forward several feasible attempts on how to refine oil.
For example, distillation, cracking, and other easy operations.
As for which method is the most practical, we can only look at the results of experiments.
Fortunately, the requirements for hot air balloon oil are not very high. As long as it can be fully burned, it is considered to have met the standard.
After talking about the theory, the next step is how to carry out relevant experiments.
The location of the experiment is naturally set to be carried out in the laboratory, so the back and forth will definitely be a bit tiring.
"Tao'er, why don't we make a decision on this matter after you have finished giving birth?"
"How can that be done? To tell you the truth, I'm bored right now and I have something to do, so I can just pass the time."
Yin Tao chose to accept her husband's care from the heart.
He said it, but he took over the matter without hesitation.
Qi Yu couldn't resist, so he had to let her go.
However, he still arranged for his son Qi Xiao to accompany him as a starting point. This could effectively reduce Yin Tao's workload.
For example, Qi Xiao can be arranged to do routine experiments, search for materials, etc.
In this way, it not only alleviates Yin Tao's hard work, but also increases her son's experience. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Regarding the manufacturing of hot-air balloon spheres, Qiyu plans to let the veteran weaving technician Ye Shi assist in the completion. As for the oil extraction and oil transportation, Haijia can be operated back and forth.
As for Yin Tao, she is only responsible for overseeing the project and does not need to personally implement it.
"Wouldn't this increase Xiao'er's workload? Currently, he goes to school during the day and develops gunpowder at night, so he is almost too busy. If you add these to this, he won't even have time to play."
"As the saying goes, only by enduring hardship can one become a better person. If you want to become a great researcher in science, you must put in more sweat and effort than ordinary people."
Yin Tao still couldn't bear to say: "But, I'm a little worried that I will tire him!"
"Tired? How could he be so delicate? I think back then, when I was studying hard while still having to take care of my family, it would be a hundred times more tiring than this? If he can't even bear this little hardship, how can he talk about his ideals in life?"
Having said that, Qi Dalang sighed with emotion: "Success is 99% sweat and 1% inspiration. If you don't know how to work hard, no matter how good your talent is, you will eventually become a failure."
For the good-for-nothing Fang Zhongyong."
At this moment, he showed a rare stern father's style, and his tone was slightly serious.
Of course, Qi Yu deliberately wanted to restrain his son.
Now Qi Xiao is a veritable second-generation prince. In addition, he also has the huge aura of being the consort of the great emperor, and his status is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.
It is conceivable that if he is not properly controlled, he will inevitably become arrogant and even go astray.
The best way is to constantly encourage him to study things and make progress forward. Only in this way can he establish a correct outlook on life and values.
Once he gets busy, he has no time to think about it.
Although Qi Yu's idea was good, he underestimated his son's ability to adapt.
Soon, Qi Xiao adapted to the new rhythm.
In order to better plan his time, he also made a daily schedule for himself, which seemed thorough and rigorous.
From the perspective of outsiders, this is an extremely self-disciplined performance that deserves recognition and praise.
However, his starting point is not to cultivate good habits, but to squeeze out time to do other things.
What on earth are you going to do?
Buddha said: It is not convenient to explain clearly.
Even if my aunt asked me personally, she couldn't tell her what was in her heart.
Oops~~
I don’t know why, but the more I look at Mu Ziqing recently, the more I feel itchy in my heart.
That feeling seems wonderful, but it also seems very torturous and complicated.
I haven't seen him for a day, and I feel like a cat scratching my head.
In order to squeeze out the corresponding time, Qi Xiao can only arrange his schedule through this kind of self-discipline.
In fact, his abnormality has already fallen into the eyes of his aunt.
With the little knowledge he had of Mu Shaoai's little thoughts, how could he hide it from people who came over?
Especially a smart person like Yin Tao.
It's just that she saw through it but didn't say anything. She just watched in secret.
As a result, she suddenly discovered.
When it comes to pursuing the opposite sex, Qi Xiao is much more proactive than me. Not only is he proactive, he also knows how to be flexible.
Work around?
Yes!
Qi Xiao felt that, as a grown man, if he always tried to seduce his wife, he would be ridiculed by the second generation in the circle as a "dog licker".
Therefore, you have to come up with a decent excuse to cover it up, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.
Don't tell me! He really thought of it!
Doesn't Mu Ziqing take care of the Supreme Emperor every day? Why not follow suit and do his best?
In this way, it can not only shorten the distance between you and Mu Ziqing, but also block those who are talking about it, why not do it?
Moreover, in order to fulfill the duty of filial piety, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks.
In this way, going back and forth to Qiongzhou Hospital every day has become part of Qi Xiao's daily life.
Let's say that on this day, he came to the ward as usual, preparing to read the newspaper to his sleeping father-in-law.
But when he looked up, he saw that Mu Ziqing actually made a shushing gesture, as if to tell himself to be silent.
Then, he saw her pointing with her delicate hand, prompting him to go out and talk.
This means, chat in private?
That must be good!
Qi Xiao nodded quickly and jumped out immediately.
Even if you look at his expression as usual and calm, in fact, his heart has already become pounding.
After a while, these two lovely teenagers came to a small corner of the hospital park side by side.
Finally, they sat down on the stone bench under the pavilion.
"Qi Xiao, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"I heard from cousin Qiaoyun that Mr. Meng once designed a wheelchair for patients to ride on..."
"Then what?"
Mu Ziqing continued shyly: "I don't have any other intention. I just want you to make one for me so that my father can go out easily."
Qi Xiao waved his hand and said generously: "What's so difficult about this? It's just a trivial matter."
After saying that, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with evil intentions: "You are asking me to do something, but why don't you give me something sweet to taste?"
"Sweetness? What... does this mean?" Mu Ziqing asked with a confused look on his face.
"The Master said: Guan Guan Jujiu, in the River Island; a graceful lady, a gentleman is very fond of you. Since we are so well matched, why don't you take a sip of my fragrance as a reward?" Qi Xiao said with a look of expectation.
Is this... what Confucius said?
You are so ignorant!
Just when he was about to laugh, Mu Ziqing suddenly realized something was wrong.
When she came to her senses, she blushed and squealed, then ran away with a shy smile.
