Chapter 144: Are You Here to Find Fault?

Yun Shu pondered for a moment, thinking about the structure of the Textile Machine.

He said, "I'm afraid that might be somewhat difficult."

Yan Ning was also somewhat helpless: "If the common people are required to purchase new Automatic Looms, the production time is too long, and the common people cannot afford them."

Yun Shu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will find a way."

The other officials also wanted to see the automatic spinning machine for themselves.

At this point, no one doubted whether Yun Shu could make it; he could even make a Train, let alone a small spinning machine?

At this moment, Yan Ze said, "Yun Shu's research into the Steam Engine this time is quite excellent. I am promoting his official rank to Doctor. Aside from his own research, he will also need to teach classes three days every ten days, teaching Physics and Mathematics."

The crowd became restless again.

"Physics, what kind of thing is that? Can something we've never even heard of actually work?"

"Don't get hung up on Physics for now. Yun Shu is a fifteen-year-old boy, and he's actually being promoted to Doctor to teach students? And he has to teach Mathematics; the two Doctors who teach Mathematics surely won't agree to this."

"Is Yun Shu really capable of this?"

Yan Ning cleared her throat: "Everyone, stop arguing. He is capable of the task."

The crowd was not very convinced.

After the morning court session, the Grand Tutor, the Ministers, and others surrounded Yan Ning: "Your Highness, what is this Physics that His Majesty speaks of?"

Yan Ning said with a smile: "It is not easy to explain in a few words. Once classes begin, you will naturally know."

Grand Tutor Chen asked: "Why do Your Highness and His Majesty value Mathematics and Physics so much that you must specifically find someone to teach them?"

Yan Ning then said: "Because they are very useful. Yun Shu relied on his knowledge of Physics to build the Steam Train."

The group was stunned.

That impressive?

Then it certainly deserves more attention.

Seeing that Yun Shu was about to leave, Yan Ning stopped him and made him come along to copy books.

Yes, copy books.

Her father had not been able to reach a trading partner in the Modern Plane for a long time, and without textbooks or test papers on hand, they could only start copying them slowly.

Yan Ning was feeling a bit irritable copying them alone, so she grabbed Yun Shu to act as manual labor.

Yun Shu looked in surprise at the two Tablet Computers that only existed in the modern era, as well as the Power Bank on the table.

He was somewhat stunned: "Your Highness, this... you all..."

Could it be that they knew they were going to transmigrate and prepared these things in advance?

Yan Ning said with a smile: "My father's Golden Finger."

Yan Ning continued: "There are also many transmigration guides in here, covering all sorts of things. When you have time, take a look and see if you can make use of them."

Yun Shu casually clicked into a folder full of videos and discovered that the courses inside ranged from basic to profound, and it was even packed with many documents from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure.

Yun Shu went from astonishment to being dazed.

He muttered to himself: "Good heavens, with these things, couldn't one build rockets, Cannons, and airplanes?"

He began to check the manufacturing process for an airplane.

There really was one.

"Could it be that even a nuclear bomb could be built?"

Yan Ning was taken aback.

Can one only say that he is worthy of being a top student? The moment he starts, he wants to challenge such difficult things.

That terrifying thing, a nuclear bomb, shouldn't be possible to make, right?

After all, those are classified files; they shouldn't have been downloaded onto the Tablet Computer.

Yan Ning hurriedly said: "No, no, no, let's not consider nuclear bombs and airplanes for now. Let's first cultivate some talent, otherwise, you'll have to calculate everything yourself."

So, they still had to copy books.

Moreover, the Tablet Computer could not be taken out at any time, so they still had to copy down the textbooks before them.

The more Yan Ning copied, the more erratic her handwriting became.

Yun Shu took one look and said: "Your Highness, what we have copied is already enough for basic teaching. Why don't I come to copy them every morning?"

As he said this, Yun Shu's movements were not hesitant at all, and he copied several lines in one go.

Yan Ning said: "Work hard for this period of time. Let's see if there is an opportunity to take everyone to Jiangnan for a team-building trip next year."

Yun Shu began to mutter: "I don't want team-building. I want to stay behind and continue doing scientific research. If I don't do research for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over. Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me such an opportunity."

Yan Ning:...

Yun Shu is truly a born worker.

While copying the book, he even said: "I'll strive to be able to ride an airplane before I die."

Yan Ning's eyelid twitched.

Even in her dreams, she only dared to dream of modifying a chamber pot into a Flush Toilet.

As expected of a top student, he is just more daring in his thinking than the average person.

Yan Ning was a bit curious and asked: "How much confidence do you have?"

Yun Shu calculated roughly: "If I can live to be forty, there shouldn't be any problem."

Yan Ning suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way, my father has another Golden Finger."

As she spoke, she gave him a cup of Spirit Spring Water and a pile of Spirit Fruit.

It would be best if Yun Shu lived to be over a hundred years old.

Saying this, she casually gave him a Silver Note for five thousand taels: "You've worked hard these past few days."

Although Yun Shu was mostly interested in the things he made himself, Yan Ning still had to stuff money into his hands. It was better to give him more money to win him over; otherwise, if such talent went to an enemy country or a hostile faction, it would likely cause major problems.

Yun Shu accepted the Silver Note and said a word of thanks.

Yun Shu had been copying for an entire afternoon, so Yan Ning had the Imperial Kitchen bring over a few plates of dishes for Yun Shu to have as dinner.

Yan Ning did not eat with him; she returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Yan Ning immediately told her father and mother about this matter.

Yan Ze was shocked: "He dares to imagine such things, even airplanes, rockets, and nuclear bombs..."

Ji Lan poked him with her elbow, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you; what if there is more than one transmigrator besides Yun Shu?"

Yan Ze asked her, "How much certainty does he have?"

Yan Ning thought for a moment, "He seems to be very certain."

"But before that, we must cultivate some people in Physics and Mathematics, otherwise if he does it alone, we will have to wait until the end of time."

Early the next morning, Yun Shu arrived at the Imperial Academy carrying a thick stack of hand-copied books.

Yun Shu was looking for someone who could carve characters.

He handed over the stack of books, "Could you print fifty copies of each of these books?"

Li Ming took the books and looked; the characters on them were the recently promoted Simplified Chinese Characters, and they were written horizontally.

Li Ming was somewhat displeased, "The Simplified Chinese Characters haven't been fully carved and printed yet, and how are you doing things? You actually wrote them horizontally; what if they are printed incorrectly?"

Yun Shu was righteous and confident: "Print them horizontally."

Li Ming rolled up his sleeves: "Are you here to pick a fight?"

Yun Shu flipped through them for a while, found the ones Yan Ning had copied, and handed them to Li Ming: "Take a look, this is the Crown Princess's handwriting; do you recognize it?"

Li Ming frowned as he took it.

He had seen the Crown Princess's handwriting, and it was indeed so.

Li Ming then said: "It's not that I won't print them for you, but they are all in Simplified Chinese Characters; wait three days and come back."

Yun Shu was a bit anxious because he had to teach class tomorrow.

Yun Shu thought it over and came to the Imperial Academy, finding a student dressed in plain clothes with patches on his body.

He took out a string of copper coins, "Five hundred wen, how about helping me copy some things?"

That person's eyes lit up.

Yun Shu pulled out four sheets of paper for him, "Copy them horizontally, using Simplified Chinese Characters."

The corner of that person's mouth twitched: "Are you here to pick a fight?"
