Xia Hongsheng's words are definitely not nonsense, but something that really happened in history. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Italian Marco Polo wrote in his travelogue that the Mongolian cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty once carried a kind of milk powder food, and the Mongolian general Hui Yuan skillfully dried it and made it into a powdered milk powder that was easy to carry as military supplies.

When marching long distances, milk powder is easy to carry. When eating, take about half a pound and put it into the leather pouch that you carry, add water and hang it on the horse's back, through the vibration generated when the horse runs, so that it dissolves into porridge and eats, and can quickly replenish physical strength on horseback during battle, so the Mongolian cavalry is so strong that the enemy is terrified.

During long marches and desert battles, when there was a shortage of food and grass, the Mongol cavalry relied on this method to survive for several months.

This is also the world's earliest written record of milk powder.

As the three of them spoke, the milk in the cauldron began to slowly tumble.

The family kept stirring next to him, adding or decreasing firewood according to the situation in the pot.

Gradually, the milk in the pot began to thicken.

The bamboo tray for drying has been opened, and although the season has entered winter, the weather today is good. The sun is high overhead, if you try to spread it thin, you don't have to stay overnight, you can dry it today.

After a while, the milk in the pot had already turned into a thick paste, Xia Hongsheng stepped forward to take a look, and felt that it was almost there, so he ordered: "Quickly scoop it out and spread it out to dry." Spread it thinner and dry it easily. ”

The housekeepers will carry the bamboo plate over, and a few people will scoop it out, and then a few people will spread it out with bamboo slices, because the bamboo plate is very large, so it can be spread into a thin layer.

"It's spread so thin, it's faster to dry, but don't blow a strong wind!" Li Chengqian looked down at the spread milk beside him, and turned back to Xia Hongsheng and said.

"As long as you can keep some of it, taste it right, and prove that the path is viable, it's enough." Xia Hongsheng said.

"Actually, I'm not just here to eat today." Li Tai stood beside Xia Hongsheng and said to Xia Hongsheng silently.

"Huh?" Xia Hongsheng turned his head over.

Li Tai raised his head and looked at the clear sky in winter, his eyes were very deep, as if he wanted to see the sky, which made Xia Hongsheng look very surprised.

"Brother Sheng, life is too short." Li Tai looked at the sky and was silent for a long time, and suddenly said this.

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, lying down, Li Tai in history has lived to be in his forties after taking drugs all day, could it be that because of his butterfly effect, he is now terminally ill?

But I heard Li Tai say again: "Why do I always feel that there are so many things waiting for me to study and scrutinize." But in my life, I don't necessarily have a good idea. If I could live for 800 years, wouldn't I be able to study all these things? ”

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Tai, looked up at the sky again, and said: "Qingque, this knowledge and technology are endless, just like there is no edge in this sky. If you live for 800 years, you will have newer knowledge and newer technology after 800 years. Knowledge and technology never end. The wild man who drank the blood of Ru Mao felt that being able to drill fire out of wood and sharpen stones was the most powerful skill. Later, people had bronzes and thought they were the best. Then there were iron tools, and now there are firearms...... In the future, there will be something to replace what we feel is already the best now, to replace everything today. We now feel that it is already the most advanced, and it may be proved that it is wrong and backward in the future, which is inevitable. Everything in this world, but it is precisely because of this that it is always progressing and developing. Qingque, believe it or not, thousands of years later, from Chang'an Daojingyang, a stick of incense will not be used, people can fly back and forth in the sky, from the most end of the Tang Dynasty to the most end, it is only a few hours. People don't need to meet, one is in the south of the sky and the other is in the north of the earth, and they can talk face-to-face through tools. It is even possible to go up to the moon and bring back the soil from there. ”

Li Tai was shocked, then turned his head to look at Xia Hongsheng, stared at him, and asked, "Brother Sheng, I actually have a question I always want to ask you-you...... Do you know what the future holds? ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled, shook his head, and asked, "Qingque, what else are you doing besides coming to eat today?" ”

Li Tai looked at Xia Hongsheng, took a deep breath, and replied: "I came today to ask Brother Sheng to contribute money to build a railway track between Chang'an and Luoyang. ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Li Tai in surprise.

Li Tai smiled: "There are drawings drawn by Brother Sheng, and we are just following the drawings." Although, in the end, it is not as fine as what Brother Sheng painted, but the function is not bad. ”

"It's not easy, after all the calculations, it's been five years." Xia Hongsheng sighed. From Zhenguan talking to Li Tai about the concept of the steam engine in the fifth year, to the current Zhenguan ten years, a full five years.

"I tried it for a short distance, and when you went to Luanzhou, I asked people to buy land and lay a few railroad tracks." Li Tai said: "There were some small problems in the middle, and they were all solved. I tried it several times, and there was no problem, so I dared to come and tell you. ”

"Long, I can't do it." Li Tai said: "I don't have so much money, and I haven't seen real results in the palace, let alone come out." As princes, we don't dare to do these things rashly. I don't even know what this thing is, and I think it's a ghost when I see it, and it's even worse. Only Brother Sheng, this thing is your design, you know the doorway inside, and you have this financial and material resources, and if you really want to repair it, no one is as good as the engineering team on your Zhuangzi. ”

"This road is built, but it may not be done. If it does, it may not be immediately available. Even if it can be used, it is from the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with me. It's just throwing money around! Xia Hongsheng said.

"It's not fun, it's a test -- a long-distance test." Li Tai said: "What's the matter, Brother Sheng? ”

"Then you need to ask? Of course it's repair! Xia Hongsheng put his hands behind his back: "My son is rich but capricious!" ”

"Good! Since Brother Sheng agreed, I immediately discussed with my father when I went back and asked for my father's permission! Li Tai patted his chest and said, "Don't teach Brother Sheng to worry about this." ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "It's not appropriate for you to talk about this, let your eldest brother talk about it." It is said that to build this road, I will rent it from the imperial court, and if it occupies a house or a field along the road, I will compensate. Tell Your Majesty that if this road is opened to traffic, it will prove the success of the steam locomotive. From Chang'an to Luoyang, thousands of people are together in only two or three hours! I just want to prove that the steam locomotive is successful, and if it doesn't work, I'll experiment with this road until it is successful. If it does, I don't want this way, and leave it to the court. Your Majesty will definitely agree. ”

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, bent down and saluted: "Master respects righteousness!" ”
