After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Zhong Ning explained the truth to him in detail, but Gu Mingzhe only heard the first three words.

You can not.

No man can tolerate these three words.

Gu Mingzhe wiped away his tears, then directly picked up Zhong Ning and carried him to the inner room. Zhong Ning's body suddenly flew into the air, and he could only say speechlessly: "What are you doing?"

Gu Mingzhe's face was gloomy. He kicked open the door to the inner room and placed Zhong Ning on the large carved bed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, you will soon find out whether I can do it or not."

After saying that, he pressed down directly, rolling and lingering, moving down along the collarbone, one big hand holding her slender waist, and the other big hand wandering on her body, lighting fires everywhere.

Zhong Ning was confused for a moment, then finally realized what had happened and said in a deep voice: "In our place, anyone under the age of eighteen is considered a minor..."

With just this sentence, Gu Mingzhe stopped.

Zhong Ning looked at him, her voice unchanged: "I just turned sixteen this year. If you continue, I can't guarantee that I won't fight back to protect myself!"

He stood up from Zhong Ning and looked deeply into Zhong Ning's expressionless face. After a long moment, he uttered, "Sorry!"

It was another day when a shooting almost happened.

Zhong Ning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that this young man was too hot-tempered. Weren't people in ancient times said to be more reserved? How could he be more open than her?

Zhong Ning straightened his clothes, then sat up. Looking at Gu Mingzhe's somewhat lost face, he said apologetically, "Don't be like this..."

"What does Your Highness want from me? I have been deprived of even the right to keep you..." Gu Mingzhe lay on the bed with dazed eyes, staring at the tent above, and said helplessly.

"I have let you down, and I will compensate you. Don't worry, I have ordered people to secretly investigate the ladies in the capital, and I will definitely choose a good marriage for you before I leave!"

Zhong Ning continued to talk non-stop, explaining her arrangements and plans. "After I leave, you can decide whether to marry or take a concubine. You don't need to suffer injustice here..."

"If you have any requests, you can tell me directly. I will definitely send someone to conduct a comprehensive investigation..."

Gu Mingzhe suddenly sat up straight, his eyes like sharp arrows, staring at Zhong Ning. Zhong Ning felt guilty when he looked at him.

Then, Gu Mingzhe sneered and said bluntly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I am the newly promoted third place scholar in the imperial court. How could I possibly be short of women?"

After saying that, he lifted his robe and left, leaving in a clean and decisive manner.

Only Zhong Ning was left standing there, with a puzzled look on his face.

Never mind, everything is determined by fate.

The matter of meeting a young lady had to be done in secret, lest they meet the wrong person and encounter a cold-blooded and heartless woman like her.

She was leaving anyway, so she couldn't leave a good impression.

Now is the perfect time for everyone to talk it out and stop being together.

.........

Time passes like flowing water.

These days, Zhang Wanting is still busy at her girls' school, while Fang Ping has officially started teaching at the Academy of Sciences. Because of the previous egg experiment, many candidates visited the Academy of Sciences one by one after the results were announced.

Be sure to find out why the egg fell into the bottle.

When the students of the Academy of Sciences heard that all the new scholars of this session had come to the academy to seek their advice, they immediately straightened their backs.

He confidently began to introduce, "We have also heard about what happened in the palace examination. Recently, Teacher Xiao Fang recreated the egg-in-a-bottle experiment for us during class."

"Teacher Xiao Fang explained the principle behind this. This is because the space we live in produces oxygen. Putting burning materials into the bottle consumes the oxygen in the bottle, producing a large amount of carbon dioxide."

"When the volume of oxygen consumed is greater than the volume of carbon dioxide, the pressure in the bottle decreases. When the egg is placed at the mouth of the bottle, it is actually being forced in by the external atmospheric pressure..."

A group of newly minted scholars who came to ask for advice:........

What and what?

Is there oxygen in the air?

Who defined this?

I've never heard of it before!

Will burning things automatically produce carbon dioxide?

Who defined this?

What is atmospheric pressure? What is this?

A group of newly graduated scholars who thought they were better than all the students in the world in the imperial examinations, at this moment, finally felt what a dimensionality reduction attack meant!

Several students who had successfully entered the Academy of Sciences and would rather do odd jobs than not attend classes could not help but hold their heads high at this moment!

Look! Even if you do well on the imperial examination, there is still knowledge you don’t understand!

Luo Wuqing was originally the top scorer in the Nanzhili exam. After the palace exam, he was ranked first among the second-class Jinshi. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, Wen Renye and Gu Mingzhe did perform quite well. Even the runner-up, Liu Wenben, was a rare talent.

So he had no complaints.

It was just the egg experiment that Princess Zhaohua performed in public that aroused his strong interest, so he brought several other scholars who were equally interested to this so-called academy to study.

I didn't expect to hear this.

It was the same as if he hadn't heard anything at all. He still couldn't understand the principle.

Luo Wuqing frowned slightly, then pulled out a few small coins from his sleeve and handed one to each of them. "Please explain clearly! What is oxygen, and how can we prove its existence?"

The students put away the silver and then became serious:

"We've also asked Teacher Xiao Fang about this question. He gave an example: if you put a living creature, like a mouse, into a completely sealed box with plenty of food, and the oxygen in the box is used up, it will die from lack of oxygen."

"Or if someone falls into the water accidentally, the water will compress the airway, preventing oxygen from entering the body, leading to suffocation."

"Of course, these require experiments to prove their validity. We've naturally conducted such experiments in class under the guidance of Master Xiao Fang. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"

After that, they agreed to leave together.

Luo Wuqing looked at their leaving figures, thoughtful.

Seeing how seriously Luo Wuqing took these issues, another student standing nearby couldn't help but ask, "Brother Luo, you're not really planning on proving these experiments, are you? We're about to go into the various ministries to observe government affairs, so it's best not to focus on this!"

Another student also advised: "We participate in the Spring Examination to serve as officials. Only those with low status would learn such trivial skills as science. Brother Luo, please don't let yourself fall into depravity!"

Several Jinshi scholars spoke one by one, and Luo Wuqing had no choice but to go back with everyone. However, the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. He thought that it would be better to study and discuss it on his own when no one was around.

Do oxygen and carbon dioxide really exist?

In addition, he also heard that when Lord Xiao Fang was recruiting, he specially boiled a pot of water.
