Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1041 The Mysterious Project of the Department of Mathematics
"I reckon that the British envoys will return in the spring. By then, Your Highness Princess, you should return to Britain with them." Selina sat down and said.

"I've only been here for less than a year, and I'm not even fluent in Chinese. I don't want to return to Britain so soon. If the two countries open their ports for trade in the future, I can return to Britain at any time. Why bother?" In a hurry." Princess Sophia had just gotten acquainted with life in the East, and she didn't want to return to Britain when the second batch of envoys arrived.

"What if His Majesty the King does not intend to agree to the proposal of trade between the two countries?" Selina asked again.

"I know that even if my brother does not agree to trade, Mr. Li will lead the fleet to Europe this year. It is inevitable that things will start trading." Princess Sophia said while tasting the delicacies made by Da Yuer and the others.

"Then Sarina, if Li Jinde plans to lead the fleet to Europe this spring, what should you do?" Xiao Xiuer, who is most familiar with Sarina, asked.

"Originally, I planned to go to Europe with him, but now it seems that I can only stay in the capital and see if there is a chance to return to my mother's home after the child is born... Maybe it will be a few years later." Selina mentioned When I saw my parents, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. The distance between East and West is too far in this era.

"Don't worry, I will find time to visit Mr. Yue Zhang when I go to Britain this time. I heard that there is a magical place called a photo studio in the city, where people can be painted down, lifelike, and more realistic than the best painters. I think Before going to Europe, I will take you to take a painting called a photo, and I will bring it to your father myself." Li Jinde said.

Li Jinde still feels a little guilty about taking away Sir Greenville's daughter, and wants to have a good talk with Sir Greenville when he leads the Western Company's fleet to London.

"Photo studio? What's that place?" Princess Sophia asked in surprise.

"There is a machine called a camera that can record people's impressions. It can be imaged without a painter. Although it is black and white, it is very real." Da Yuer said.

What they were discussing was the black and white camera technology developed by Chu Yun.

In addition to the dedicated photographers of the Kyushu Army to record important moments in history, there are also photographers who opened the first civilian photo studio in history in the capital.It's just that the first civilian photo studio was expensive, and a black-and-white photo cost a lot of money. Only wealthy or wealthy families could afford to take black-and-white photos.

There are still many people who think that taking photos will kill their souls, so they stay away from photo studios. In addition, there is no demand for mass production of cameras at this time, and photo studios are not well-known in the capital.

"Your feelings are really enviable. When will I be able to find my Prince Charming." Princess Sofia said.

"Didn't Your Majesty choose many princes and dukes for the princess?" Selina knew that Charles I had sought out many princes in Europe for his sister, and even the Duke of Prussia was under consideration.

"I don't like being treated as a victim of marriage. I also want to find my own destiny. Most marriages in marriage are unhappy. Princesses and princes will not live a happy life from now on. They carry the mission of the family, It is really sad that even a broken marriage has to maintain its status in front of the world." Princess Sophia made an impassioned speech.

"The same is true for our noble women." Selina felt a little bit.

"Ahem, why did I hear such a heavy topic when I came here?"

A voice sounded outside the gate, among them, Da Yu'er, Xiao Xiu'er and the others hadn't seen who was coming, so they stood up and identified the other party's identity.

"Mr. Chu, why are you here?" Princess Sophia asked in surprise.

It was Chu Yun who came, and Ella who was holding Ling'er.

"Ling'er was clamoring to see you, so we came here. Your place is lively, compared to our place, which is much more depressed." Chu Yun said.

Ling'er babbled and waved to Da Yuer and the others.

"My lord!" Li Jinde did not expect to see Chu Yun here, and he was in awe.

"It just so happens that you are here too. I wonder how you are preparing to lead the fleet to Europe for business?" Chu Yun asked when he saw Li Jinde accompanied Sarina at Dayuer's house.

"According to the plan, regardless of whether the two countries have reached a complete trade treaty, I will lead the fleet to the City of London for trade in early March. Several shipyards in Dalian have completed the production of part of the ocean-going galleons, and we have given up on flat-bottomed ships There are also various commodities and machines in preparation, and the procurement should be completed on schedule. We plan to open wool textile factories, iron smelting factories, and ceramic factories in the city of London." Li Jinde said.

"Brother Chu, don't forget to talk about business affairs during the New Year's Eve dinner." Chen Yuanyuan said from the side.

"Yuanyuan, you've been getting more and more mischievous recently!" Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan didn't know the severity, Liu Rushi felt a headache for the sister she recognized.

"It doesn't matter, young people need to have a rebellious spirit, they are the new force to break the tradition and keep innovating." Chu Yun was not angry.

"Recently, I'm going to let Yuanyuan go to a school. It seems that twelve new middle school schools will be established in the capital. I don't know if Yuanyuan can pass the examination." Liu Rushi said.

Chu Yun looked at Chen Yuanyuan, as if she was about 12 years old, and the school system of middle school was six years, so she was still of the right age.

"The Mathematics Department of the Imperial University estimates that a very interesting project will be carried out in two or three years, and the treatment of the people participating in the project will be amazing..." Chu Yun didn't care much about Chen Yuanyuan who hadn't grown up yet, but rather Liu Rushi reminded.

In his eyes, people who study basic science can also have a lot of money.

"A very interesting project?" Liu Rushi heard Chu Yun mention the project of the Department of Mathematics, and for the first time, he had a goal to strive for in the direction he chose to study.

"A project to create something that doesn't exist in this world." Chu Yun only briefly mentioned his ambitious plan.

"It seems that sister, you have to work hard. The military master will only select the smartest people from the mathematics department to participate in this project. If you can't become a top student in the mathematics department, you will have no chance to enter. Even elementary students The annual subsidy for researchers exceeds 100 taels of silver," Ella said.

"The annual subsidy is more than 100 taels of silver..." Liu Rushi felt inconceivable when he heard this huge salary, which is still the salary of a junior researcher of a special project.
