The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

But none of that matters; what matters is the small private room.

“Uncle Yang, look, this is Alicia, this is Hua, this is Huang Quan, um... that's a nickname, her real name is Raiden Forgot River Guardian Mei, this is Raiden, she's Inazuma's General…”

Pushing open the door to the private room, Bai Zhi introduced herself to Lao Yang under the gaze of everyone.

Lao Yang: ...

Although Huang Quan had seen them before and even talked to them, here comes another one from the Raiden family, and they all have the same look.

There were even several more heroes.

Damn it, Honkai is still chasing me.

Chapter 624 explains science to several ancient people.

"Father, the food here is so delicious! Is this the celestial nectar and jade dew, dragon liver and phoenix marrow?"

In another private room, Zhu Di wolfed down the dishes in front of him. He had never even seen many of these dishes before, let alone eaten them.

"Look at you, talking about dragon liver and phoenix marrow. You'd better watch out."

Old Zhu tapped Zhu Di on the head, "Didn't you realize that Bai Zhi Shangxian is someone else?"

After being reminded by Zhu Di, Zhu Di realized that Bai Zhi's dragon horns were so obvious that he had forgotten about them. She was definitely a member of the dragon clan.

What kind of behavior is it to talk about "dragon liver and phoenix marrow"?

"Cough cough..."

Zhu Di coughed lightly and didn't dare to speak again. Thinking about his unlucky nephew's experience, he didn't want to be turned into some strange little animal by the immortal and then be scolded without any recourse.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting at the same table as the Zhu family, also appeared elegant, but in reality, he was quickly devouring his food.

Compared to the Ming Dynasty, when culinary skills had made great progress, the Qin Dynasty, in which he lived, was basically characterized by the most primitive steaming, boiling, and roasting methods. Eating was not about enjoyment, but at most it could be called "filling one's stomach."

The ingredients served now are made from extremely expensive materials even in the universe, combined with countless years of research and development by scientists across the cosmos, resulting in a variety of seasonings that can deliver a devastating taste sensation. This is something that conditions in ancient times could never have been achieved.

Old Zhu's family had never eaten anything this delicious, let alone him.

He opened the sealed bottle of immortal wine and poured himself a bowl.

Suddenly, a captivating fragrance wafted out, making his mouth water. He picked up the wine and drank it down in one gulp.

A fragrance of flowers and fruits immediately filled his mouth, as if he could smell that enchanting aroma with every breath.

"Fine wine, fine wine indeed, truly the nectar of the immortals."

"It's a pity that I can't enjoy such fine wine for long. I can't live forever, and in the end I will turn into a handful of dust."

Ying Zheng was somewhat saddened, realizing that even after building such a great empire, he was ultimately destined to suffer the same fate as ordinary people.

"Perhaps Mr. Ying Zheng could study 'science,' which is the immortal art that belongs to mortals."

A sound came from inside, and Bai Zhi pushed open the door and entered.

"I've seen the Immortal."

The Zhu family members were taken aback, and then quickly said...

"No need for that. I just came to check if you had eaten well and happened to overhear what Mr. Ying Zheng said earlier."

Bai Zhi waved her hand and said.

"May I ask, Immortal, what is this 'science' that can be called the magic of mortals?"

Old Zhu was the first to ask a question, and Ying Zheng also stared intently at Bai Zhi. Could it be that they could also master this so-called immortal technique for mortals?

The group was filled with longing. Even if they couldn't be as powerful as Bai Zhi, they would be content if they could extend their lives by several decades or even a hundred years.

"Science is the summary and utilization of the laws of nature. For example, why do people fall from heights instead of floating into the sky? Where do lightning and rain come from? Why can we make fire by rubbing sticks together?"

"Regarding science, I think you should have received the document my men gave you, which contains information about science and technology."

"Of course, that guy taught us how to use it."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhu immediately took out a small cube, pressed it, and a projection interface popped up.

“Educational toys for young children…that’s fine too.”

Upon seeing this thing, Bai Zhi really wanted to give that employee a thumbs up for his ingenious idea, because this thing was actually a children's reading pen.

However, compared to products from Earth in the 21st century, the interstellar reading pen has a larger capacity and is much easier to operate, making it a perfect beginner's tool for users.

Moreover, there's absolutely no need to worry about the energy source for this thing; it should last for hundreds of years without any problems, and it can also obtain energy from various sources, such as solar energy.

"You just need to follow some of the things mentioned above to learn some amazing things, such as steam trains that can travel a thousand miles a day and carry a thousand people, or some medicines that have miraculous effects on specific diseases."

"Traveling a thousand miles a day, is it really true, Immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhu's eyes lit up. Although he valued this science and technology, he didn't consider it as important as his life.

But now, after Bai Zhi said that, he quickly gripped the e-reader tightly.

Traveling a thousand miles a day—what does that mean? If the Ming Dynasty had this level of transportation, it would greatly reduce the cost of governance.

Expanding outwards is a natural thing to do.

"Is it scientific...? This concept seems somewhat similar to the Mohist school I know."

Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

"The Mohist school's emphasis on practice and technology is indeed part of science. The development and growth of civilization cannot be separated from the advancement of science. For example, the development of assembly lines should be very familiar to Mr. Ying Zheng, which is standardized manufacturing."

"So that's how it is. The reason why our Great Qin was able to sweep across the six states is also thanks to the help of this kind of science."

Ying Zheng suddenly realized that he had long been illuminated by the brilliance of science.

Before they were unified, they invented standardized manufacturing, where one worker manufactured one component, which was then assembled. This method was widely used in weapons used in various wars.

Without this invention of standardized manufacturing, it would have been extremely difficult to gather the materials needed to defeat the six kingdoms.

He hadn't realized it before, but now, after Bai Zhi's explanation, he suddenly understood.

"According to what the immortal said, science is the understanding and summarization of the world, and at the same time, it is also about improving efficiency, right?"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's summary, Bai Zhi glanced at the man in surprise.

It's no wonder that the nation that unified the six kingdoms and ushered in an era of unification was able to summarize so much useful information from just a few key points.

"That's right, these are the basic elements of science. Increased productivity can liberate people from heavy labor, giving them more time to think about more advanced disciplines."

"These disciplines are all-encompassing, and it is even possible to develop a powerful weapon that can destroy a city."

"A weapon that can destroy a city with a single shot... Is that really something a mortal can do?"

Apart from Bai Zhi, everyone else present felt somewhat incredulous.

"That's right, it's that powerful. According to the original history, hundreds of years after Zhu Yuanzhang, humans invented this kind of weapon of mass destruction."

Chapter 625: Chaldea is unlikely to appear, is it?

"That's all I have to say. Anyway, if you want to extend your lifespan, you can study science."

"Thank you for the reminder, Immortal. We will do our best."

[Ding! The historical deviation has increased dramatically. The Great Ming Dynasty Lostbelt is forming. There is a high probability that forces related to historical restoration will intervene. Please pay attention to system prompts and choose whether to intervene.]

Lostbelts?

Bai Zhi glanced at Lao Zhu and the others with a strange expression. Surely they couldn't have come to Chaldea or something to cause trouble.

"But system, why are there only the Ming Dynasty Lostbelts and not the Qin Dynasty ones?"

Bai Zhi thought about it and realized that what she had given Ying Zheng was enough to change a lot. Just the fact that Qin Shi Huang could live for several more decades and know how big the world was and what its future would be would make a huge difference.

Moreover, if history were to be revised, Ying Zheng should have died by accident by now.

Even after taking his own medicine, Old Zhu still aged prematurely due to various setbacks, didn't he?

The settings of different worlds are not the same. The world where the Great Ming Lostbelt is located has a sacred timeline. If the deviation exceeds the sacred timeline, it will be interfered with and corrected by the power represented by the future timeline. If it cannot be corrected, it will summon the relevant forces.

"I see... Alright then, we'll see if it's the Time and Space Administration, Chaldea, or some other weird thing."

Bai Zhi had nothing to say to the system's answer. She just wanted to see which guy would run over there and see if she could find some fun.

If it were truly Chaldea, she would actually like to take her own sword and compete with Saber to see whose storm is stronger.

If all else fails, participating in a Holy Grail War is a good option, but I don't know if I'll become a Servant or a Master.

"Gentlemen, we will be holding another concert soon, which you can attend. After the concert, you can return to your own world."

Before leaving, Bai Zhi mentioned it in passing.

"I am deeply honored by the invitation from the immortal."

Although Old Zhu said that, he was actually already immersed in the technologies that Bai Zhi had introduced to him earlier.

Previously, he had many doubts about the British Empire that Bai Zhi had mentioned. He had seen that the Mongol Empire, the predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty, was too vast, far exceeding the scope that the empire could control, which led to huge administrative costs and corruption, and eventually it was directly divided into several khanates and the Yuan Dynasty.

Even a people raised on horseback could not bear such a vast and expansive empire, let alone the Ming Dynasty.

The concept of an empire that never sets sounded even grander than these, and he once doubted whether his children and grandchildren could achieve it.

However, after Bai Zhi casually mentioned that trains could travel a thousand miles a day, he realized that the immortal was too generous to pass on such important knowledge to them.

With these things, expanding the empire outwards, making everyone in the Ming Dynasty wealthy, and becoming an empire on which the sun never sets would be an easy task.

As soon as Bai Zhi stepped out of the private room, she bumped right into someone.

"Ouch!"

A slightly flippant complaint rang out, and Bai Zhi looked up to see that it was Sang Bo.

"Sambo? I remember you were in room number 4, what are you doing here?"

Bai Zhi looked back; private room number four was quite far from here, and the restroom wasn't on this side either.

"Sorry, dear, Old Sambo, I just thought that all the big shots in the private rooms are high-value clients, so I wanted to get to know you all."

Sambo said with a forced smile.

"Really?"

Bai Zhi looked at Sang Bo suspiciously. "Are you sure you're not here to sell some black market items?"

This guy has too many past offenses, Bai Zhi couldn't help but doubt his intentions.

“Oh dear, what do you take me for? Do you think I, Old Sambo, am the kind of lawless citizen? Besides, I heard that the people from the Starry Sky Train are here, so I was thinking of hitching a ride back to Yalilo 6.”

Sambo quickly explained.

"But this train is going to Xianzhou, not Yaliluo No. 6. What you should do is find public transportation and buy a ticket to go back."

"That's alright. The Fairy Boat is closer to Yalilo No. 6. Old Sambo, I'll get off at the Fairy Boat and then take other means of transportation. I can still save a lot of money."

Sambo explained persistently.

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. "I pay you such a high salary, do you really need money for transportation?"

This intergalactic journey was indeed expensive, but compared to the salary Bai Zhi paid Sang Bo, it was just a drop in the ocean, something anyone could easily afford.

"Hey, how can you say that? I may have a lot of credits, but none of them are superfluous. Every single one of them is used to build up my hometown."

“Look at my hometown, Yalilo 6, it has just recovered from the ice, and it needs so much money. As a Beloborg, I definitely want to contribute to my hometown.”

Sambo stood tall and proud, looking quite roused.

Bai Zhi was amused by this guy, "Do you even believe what you're saying?"

"Of course I believe you. Don't let my unreliability fool you, Uncle Sangbo. I love my hometown very much."

Sambo thumped his chest loudly.

"I don't believe you for a second, unless you're Hanabi in disguise, otherwise this is too outrageous."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at this guy.

These words might be reasonable for Bronya or Seele, but for old Sambo, they felt incredibly difficult to bear.

"Ah ha ha……"

Sangbo chuckled, "My dear saw right through me. Actually, I just wanted to get to know everyone on the train."

"After all, as nameless passengers, everyone in the train crew is famous in the universe. They must be able to collect all sorts of interesting things in the universe. If they leave even a little bit of something for Old Sambo, I'll be rolling in it."
