  Chapter 71 Submission

  The weather is so nice.

  Li Ang walked out of the examination room in a happy mood, stretched his waist, and sat on the stone bench under the shade of the trees in the courtyard to rest for a while.

  The shadows of the trees are mottled, the cool breeze is blowing, and the cicadas are singing. Through the doors and windows of the examination room, you can see the students inside holding pens and thinking hard.

  This familiar and intimate feeling made Li Ang smile, and the irritability of the past few days subsided quietly. He put his hand on the stone table and flicked the fallen leaves away.

   Tap, tap, tap.

  Slight footsteps sounded, and a girl named He Fanshuang with Liu Yemei briskly walked out of the examination room, with a rare faint smile on her face.

  Holding her hands behind her back, she lightly clasped her right index finger with her left hand, bent down slightly, and lightly sniffed the blooming gardenias outside the examination room, feeling very happy.

  But when she raised her head and saw that there was already an examinee in the courtyard, and that examinee happened to be Li Ang,

  The smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he returned to his original expressionless appearance.

   Glancing at Li Ang, he turned and walked out of the courtyard.

  What is this?

   Xueba handed in the papers ahead of time, and found out that someone had finished all the questions earlier than himself, was he inexplicably angry?

  Li Ang laughed dumbfounded at Liu Yemei's petty temper, and shook his head. Seeing that Song Shaoyuan and others hadn't come out for a long time, he also got up and walked outside the Suzaku gate of the imperial city.

   Outside the Suzaku Gate, there are Jinwu guards on duty, forming a circle to prevent the Imperial City Avenue from being congested by the family members of the examinees.

  Many family members who were anxiously waiting under parasols saw an examinee come out, and hurriedly surrounded them, asking all over the place, "What questions did Mr. Xiao Lang get in this year's exam?"

   "Mr. Xiaolang, do you think the questions are difficult? Last time my Sanlang took the initial test with 2,600 students, can you pass this re-test?"

   "Xiao Langjun, did you hand in the paper in advance?"

  The noisy voices instantly filled Li Ang's ears. He had to hide behind the helpless Jinwu guards, and said loudly to the parents of all the candidates: "This year's re-examination is more difficult.

But I believe that the many students who have cultivated their ideals with wisdom, watered their hopes with sweat, and crossed the vast sea of ​​learning will definitely do their best to live up to the expectations of their parents, the high expectations of their mentors, and the wisdom bestowed by God. Bearing the ideal of youth, ten years of hard work, one day to realize the dream, good news spreads, and the title of the gold list! "

   After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands heavily, slipped out of the gaping crowd, and came to Suzaku Street.

   "Stop coughing, Dalang, this way!"

  Chai Cuiqiao's voice came from the front of the head, and I saw her little maid standing by the window of the restaurant outside the main entrance of the imperial city and waving to herself. There was a girl with a light veil sitting beside her.

   It should be the new friend Chai Cuiqiao mentioned before, Li Leling, right?

   Li Ang stepped up to the restaurant, and saw more than 20 guards and maids outside the door—the favored children of Xungui's family are all in this configuration, which is not surprising.

   Before Li Ang pushed open the door of the wing room, the door opened by itself from the inside.

  Chai Cuiqiao held up the pastry, blinked her big eyes, and asked nervously, "Dalang, how about the retest?"

   "It's okay, that's all."

   Li Ang said casually, and cupped his hands at the veiled girl, "Yu Zhou, Li Ang."

"Well"

  The Qingsha girl seemed not used to introducing herself, she paused for a moment, then stood up, and said softly, "Chang'an, Li Leling."

   Isn’t it XX Fang, Li Leling?

   Li Ang thought casually.

  Changan people who live under the imperial city are warm and enthusiastic but also a little bit arrogant. Generally, when introducing themselves, they will add XX Fangshi in front,

  For example, Yang Yu in Chonghuafang and Qiu Jinghuan in Yongjiafang.

  The better the conditions in the workshop and the richer it is, the more this is the case.

  Li Leling blinked, and asked softly: "Did Mr. Li Jiada also hand in the paper early today?"

"Well"

  No matter how many times, Li Ang is still not used to the intimacy of "Da Lang", nodded and said: "Well, all the exam questions are done, so I just came out first."

  Chai Cuiqiao said proudly: "Hey, my Dalang is very good. He got second in the first test last time. How can you come back with a score of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 67 this time?"

   Li Ang rolled his eyes at Chai Cuiqiao, "Is the avatar technique?"

  Second in the primary exam?

  The maids on the side opened their eyes wide in surprise, and Li Leling tilted her head slightly—although she grew up in a deep palace because of congenital heart disease since she was a child, she still knows some basic common sense.

  Second place in the first examination of the academy

   Should be considered very powerful, right?

"hey-hey,"

  Chai Cuiqiao proudly waved the pastry in her hands, and said to the surprised Li Leling and other maids, "My Dalang is not only highly educated, but also has better medical skills. He even treated a senior official's illness a few days ago.

  In addition, he also knows gynecology, and he can treat abdominal pain, calf cramps, and dystocia.

   Oh yes, he also invented."

   "Stop, stop."

   Li Ang clutched his forehead, and quickly interrupted Chai Cuiqiao's boasting that was getting more and more crooked.

   What Chai Cuiqiao wants to talk about is actually improving the moon cloth—because Xuegong improved the cotton planting method, invented the cotton gin (to remove cotton seeds) and the spinning wheel, so cotton wool and cotton cloth have begun to be produced in various parts of Yu State.

  However, the degreasing process is still relatively backward, and the hydrophobic lipids on the surface of cotton wool are not removed, and the water absorption effect is not good.

   And the presence of lipids is also easy to adsorb bacteria.

  So Li Ang thought of a way, first tear the cotton, remove impurities, wash it with water, put it in a casserole, pour distilled water and 3% caustic soda,

   (slaked lime and soda ash are mixed to form calcium carbonate and caustic soda)

   Cover and bring to a boil, then simmer for ten minutes on low heat,

  After the cotton cools down, rinse it again with water, dry it,

   Ended up with cotton balls.

  Absorptive cotton is easier to absorb liquid than ordinary cotton. It is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It is white and elastic, and it is not easy to breed bacteria. It is very suitable for making sanitary tampons—alcohol disinfection, etc.

  At the same time, absorbent cotton is also very suitable for coughing, as a monthly cloth.

  If this news gets out now, Li Ang doesn't want to be admitted to the academy with a somewhat strange reputation as a "gynecologist", at least until after he is admitted.

   There is a patent institution in the academy, and the inventions and creations of doctors and students can be registered in the academy.

  If merchants in Yu State want to produce,

  Small businessmen in the local area can produce secretly by themselves. Large-scale companies have to pay a very small amount of patent fees for large-scale production.

   Naturally, there is no need to bow down for five buckets of rice and run to help dignitaries build houses with thoughts and talismans.

  In addition, the inventions produced by the Academy are easier for the public to accept, which is more conducive to subsequent large-scale promotion.

  ‘Do you want to register the patent anonymously? It would be weird to be nicknamed the Guardian of the Gynecology'

  Li Ang suddenly recalled, ‘Speaking of which, is the blueprint of my midwifery forceps still with Senior Brother Cheng? '

  ——

  Yu State, Hedong Road, Wendeng County.

   Cheng Juxiu, who was a little tanned, sneezed suddenly while sitting in the courtyard.

   "Juxiu, what's wrong?"

  Sitting opposite Cheng Juxiu, a doctor named Gongyang Deming, who looked like an ordinary old man, asked with a frown.

   "It's nothing, it's just that I was blown too much by the sea breeze, and I just caught a cold."

   Cheng Juxiu waved his hand, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a baby crying in the room.

"gave birth?"

  Cheng Juxiu, Gongyang Deming, and four other male and female academy disciples stood up and looked into the room.

   Soon, the door of the house opened,

  Han Qingyun and another female disciple, each holding one side of the silver midwifery forceps, walked out of the house, nodded to Cheng Juxiu and the others, "Mother and daughter are safe. There is a stable woman in the room to take care of them, and they are fine."

   "Huh, that's good."

  Cheng Juxiu heaved a sigh of relief, the school respects benevolence and righteousness, even if the women in the delivery room are just fishermen who have never met them, they must try their best to save them when they see it.

"in addition."

  Han Qingyun had a slightly strange expression on her face, "This forceps is really ingenious.

  Use the left and right leaves to clamp the fetal head, and gently pull it outward to assist delivery.

  With this pliers, there will be far fewer women who die due to dystocia in the world. "

   "It's amazing, my junior brother invented it."

  Cheng Juxiu said with a smile: "In the past, women who gave birth had to rely on themselves to earn their own lives.

  Or by the mind teacher, use the power of mind to pull the fetus to midwifery.

  But there are not many tutors in the world, and very few are willing to help pregnant women give birth, and there are even fewer tutors who have sufficient precision, accuracy, and strength of mindfulness.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that the midwifery forceps are Buddhas of all families. "

  Cheng Juxiu paused for a moment, and added: "Just pay attention to the strength of the forceps.

   It must be delicate and precise so as not to harm the mother and fetus.

  Before going to Xuegong to register patents and mass-produce, you must first publish instructions for use in Xuegong newspapers,

  Let the midwives all over the world use peaches and other objects to practice more frequently.”

   "Okay, look at your excited look. You were never so happy when you solved that monster before."

   Ram Deming shook his head and smiled.

  He is one of the Ph.D. professors in the Academy of Engineering. He is in charge of the construction of ocean-going ships capable of crossing the endless sea in Daodengzhou, east of the river.

  Some time ago, some fishermen and sailors in Dengzhou Port reported that they saw small islands with a diameter of 30 feet in the sea when they went out to sea.

  There are trees and green grass on the island, and seabirds inhabit it.

  However, eyewitness reports show that the location of the island is not fixed and often moves.

  Gam Deming and his students went to check, used the water-avoiding charm to dive into the bottom of the sea, and saw the main body of the island—a giant three-legged hawksbill monster with a body length of more than 200 meters.

  Categorized into demon-two-one one three, ben and tortoise.

   "Erya · Shi Yu" says: "Turtle, three-legged, can; tortoise, three-legged, ben."

   "Book of Changes" says: Bai Ben is not to blame. Hence the name Ben Jiu.

  This second-level monster has a docile personality. In the few sightings, it likes to float under the sea, open its mouth, and eat passing algae, fish, squid, etc.

   Sometimes they also dive into the deep sea and eat mud and stones on the bottom of the sea—this behavior may be for digestion.

   Benji turtles usually live in the depths of the endless sea, and rarely come to the coast, and rarely attack ships.

  But such a huge monster is a second-level monster after all, and it is always a hidden danger to stay outside Dengzhou Port.

Gongyang Deming and his students came up with a way to put a large piece of whale meat smeared with special oil in a fishing net, dragged by a sea boat in front, and used the smell of fish meat to attract the turtle and slowly lead it away. Back to the endless sea.

   In the process of leading back to the Endless Sea, Gongyang Deming and others also took the opportunity to collect a large number of samples from the body of the slow and docile Benji turtle.

  Including but not limited to the monster carnivorous barnacles parasitizing on the abdomen of the Benjiao turtle;

  The spice tree that grows on the back of the Benjiu turtle;

  And the special metal grown on the carapace on the back of the Benjiu turtle—this metal is indestructible and has superior performance, and can be used to forge flying swords, armor and even the core components of the keel of sea ships.

  Just deal with the tortoise, or dig the treasure happily,

   It took everyone a month, and now they are finally free, and happened to meet a fisherman's mother with dystocia, so she came to help with forceps - by the way, to test the actual effect of forceps.

   "After all, Ben Jiu Gui is too gentle."

Cheng Juxiu spread his palms helplessly. Although his animal science in the academy is good, he still prefers the engineering of forging things, "By the way, Mr. Gongyang, now we have the carapace samples of the Benji tortoise, and the construction of refined iron sea ships can Are you speeding up?"

   "Well, wait until September, when the manpower and material resources of the Ministry of Industry are in place, and we can start construction."

   Gongyang Deming nodded, "You and Qingyun should go back to Chang'an first. I will trouble you this time.

  Oh, by the way, bring back the Benjiugui record I wrote back to the academy, as well as the report on the use of midwifery forceps this time—His Majesty and the head of the mountain will be very happy about it.

   Wait for the transfer order from the Ministry of Industry in September before you return to Dengzhou by yourself. "

"OK."

  Cheng Juxiu nodded in agreement, took the cleaned midwifery forceps from Han Qingyun, put them in an iron box, and put them together with a large piece of metal.

  Suddenly thought in my mind, 'calculating the time, it is almost already the second or third exam of the academy?

   I don’t know how Risheng’s grades are, so it shouldn’t be troublesome, right? '

   (The author's words: It will be put on the shelves in the early morning tonight, and there will be more updates.)
