Chapter 1832: Returning Home

At this time, Europe.

Sachsen military base.

Liu Zheng was thinking about the time to return home when, at this very moment, he received a letter.

A letter sent from the Longyan Liangzhou Laboratory.

Liu Zheng was slightly taken aback, because this time, this was the only letter that had come from Longyan.

The letter was marked as an urgent report from the Liangzhou Laboratory, which made Liu Zheng a bit curious; an urgent report from the Liangzhou Laboratory handed to him.

Usually, that group of scientists would never claim their experimental results were urgent.

They would generally tell Liu Zheng not to be anxious, that scientific experimentation was a long process of exploration, and that occasional failures were common, so being anxious was of no use.

Regarding these words, Liu Zheng had always turned a blind eye.

He naturally knew the uncertainty of scientific experiments, and he was powerless to change it.

Like the invention of the capacitor, for such things, his mind was full of blanks; he could only point out a direction for these scientists and let them research it.

He truly did not know what else, besides applying for research funding, could make these scientists feel nervous.

Liu Zheng smiled; could it be another matter of applying for research funding?

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng smiled and opened the envelope, his gaze moving down to read the contents of the letter.

"Oh, respected Lord Liu Zheng, please tell me, where did Mo Cheng find such a genius..."

Liu Zheng was stunned; it was actually not about applying for funding.

He continued reading.

"He actually improved the train you designed, using a set of Giant Steam Engines as power; you must know that those were designed to provide power for Battleships."

"But now, not only is he using them to provide power for the train, he has also redesigned the carriages and the power structure; our train can now not only travel quickly but also carry cargo."

Seeing this, the corners of Liu Zheng's eyes twitched.

He knew the scientist mentioned in the letter who improved the train; it was someone introduced by Mo Cheng.

He remembered the name... Stephenson!

Back then, Liu Zheng had just casually given the other party some pointers; he had not expected the other party to bring back such a huge return later.

And he had even less expected that this young scientist from Britain had already gone to Longyan.

And had researched the first Steam Train in the true sense that could carry cargo in Longyan.

A smile curled at the corners of Liu Zheng's mouth; the invention of the cargo Steam Train would undoubtedly accelerate Longyan's entry into the industrial age.

The transportation of many, many raw materials from mines required this kind of train.

Liu Zheng knew full well the value of this type of train after it was invented.

This was comparable to a Golden Waterway on land.

Liu Zheng immediately replied: "Reward everyone who invented the cargo Steam Train, and issue an order for Zheng Yueru to assemble designers to design a Railway transport line that can integrate Longyan's ore."

"No matter the cost, this transport line must be built!"

Liu Zheng summoned a servant, and just as he was about to hand this letter to him, he had a sudden thought.

It was time for him to set off and leave.

Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Pass down my order to prepare to board the ship and set sail; it is time to go home."

He thought of Xie Chan.

He wondered how Xie Chan was doing now.

At this time, Longyan.

Liangzhou, Liu Zheng's residence.

This was the residence that Liu Dahao had sold back then; later, when Liu Zheng made his fortune, Liu Dahao bought it back.

Compared to the luxurious residence of the past, it was now a hundred times more opulent and very impressive.

Liu Dahao had originally wanted to be a bit more low-key, but alas, Liu Zheng's strength was there, and the circumstances simply did not allow it.

At this moment, Liu Dahao was coaxing Liu Cong, who had just learned to walk; every two steps he took, he would tumble, but he did not cry like other children; instead, he stood up, wiped his own tears, and moved forward again.

【Line 43 is a continuation of 42 in the source, but per instructions, I must output every 【N】.】

Feng Sanniang saw this scene and said to Liu Dahao with annoyance: "Keep an eye on your son!"

Liu Dahao laughed: "It's fine, I already covered the floor with thick goose-down quilts, so it doesn't hurt if he falls."

Feng Sanniang turned her head and let out a breath, then stopped scolding Liu Dahao.

But her expression remained unpleasant; however, upon seeing Xie Chan walk over, her face immediately beamed with joy.

"Mother-in-law, Father-in-law..." Xie Chan greeted them.

Feng Sanniang hurriedly stood up to support Xie Chan; she looked at Xie Chan's belly, which was growing larger by the day, and the smile on her face grew even brighter.

"Chan'er, your belly is so big now, you shouldn't move around too much; just stay in the room if there's nothing to do."

Liu Dahao nodded from the side and hurriedly picked up Liu Cong, who was about to walk on the goose-down quilt.

"Your mother is right."

Xie Chan smiled and nodded; she was supported by Feng Sanniang as she sat down, her hand resting on her belly, but her thoughts had drifted to who knows where.

Feng Sanniang naturally saw what was on her daughter-in-law's mind.

She sighed and said angrily: "Thinking of that brat Liu Zheng, right? His own wife is about to give birth, yet he still hasn't returned!"

"Chan'er, don't worry; if Liu Zheng comes back, I will definitely make sure he doesn't leave again!"

Xie Chan smiled and shook her head, saying: "He is a person who cannot stay idle; even if he returns, he will still leave."

Xie Chan added: "However, he did say he would return before the child is born..."

Feng Sanniang smiled, not knowing what to say.

Now that Xie Chan's belly was growing larger by the day, calculating the time, it was almost there.

However, they still did not have the slightest bit of news regarding Liu Zheng returning from Europe.

They could not help but feel a little anxious.

Liu Dahao comforted them, saying: "Zheng has always kept his word; since he said he would return, he will definitely return."

Just at this moment, the old steward of the Liu Mansion walked over and asked for instructions: "Madam, Master, Princess His Highness..."

Liu Dahao looked at him and asked: "What is the matter?"

The old steward bowed his body and said: "Reporting to Master, there is a letter from the Young Master; he says he has already set off and it will not take long before he returns."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Dahao was overjoyed, and Feng Sanniang was even more so; she looked at Xie Chan with excitement.

"Did you hear that, Chan'er? Liu Zheng will be back very soon."

A smile appeared on Xie Chan's face, and she lightly pursed her lips, not knowing how to express her joy.

Liu Dahao then picked up Liu Cong: "Did you hear that, little Congcong? Your brother will be back soon."

Liu Cong seemed to truly understand, babbling in response.

Seeing Liu Cong's childlike behavior, the three of them all laughed out loud.

At this moment, they were all immersed in the immense anticipation of Liu Zheng's imminent return.

At this time, the fleet was on its way to Longyan.

They set out from the Mediterranean Sea, passed through the Suez Canal, and traveled from the Indian Ocean toward Longyan.

This was a long journey, and Liu Zheng was right there in the fleet.

However, the journey along the way was somewhat boring; the ships flew the Flag of Longyan, and not a single pirate dared to provoke them.

Liu Zheng felt very calm about this journey, to the point of feeling somewhat restless, but then, just as they were about to pass through the Malacca Strait, he saw a French Battleship actually lingering there.

Although the French Battleship did not block Liu Zheng's fleet in any way.

Its lingering here did, however, attract Liu Zheng's attention.
