Scientists are Zhou Wu's top priority. Logically, he should have personally received these people who came to the South China Sea today, but he was busy in the kitchen at the moment.

These foreigners all grew up eating bread, so Zhou Wu hosted a very grand welcome dinner.

In addition to Da Long's cuisine, Zhou Wu also personally cooked bread, something the Da Long people didn't know how to make, so only Zhou Wu could do it himself.

When Estan led the men to the banquet area, servants began to guide them to their seats one by one.

Zhou Wu had just finished his work and made his official appearance.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Lord Zhou Wu, the lord of the South China Sea."

Zhou Wu's age surprised the foreigners; they hadn't expected the lord to be so young.

At their first meeting, everyone was a little reserved. Although Estan spoke eloquently, seeing is believing.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Wu, the lord of the South China Sea. From now on, you will all work for me. I can promise you that as long as you work hard, you don't need to worry about anything else."

Foreigners are very pragmatic, and Zhou Wu is also very direct. Since he doesn't have any emotional connection with these foreigners, stating his conditions in the most straightforward way is more effective.

"Lord Zhou, I would like to ask, is it really possible for us to conduct this experiment here?"

One of the foreigners mustered up the courage to raise his hand and speak.

“Since this is our first meeting, you may not trust me very much, but you can ask Estan.”

Zhou Wu turned his gaze to Estan, who very sensibly took over the conversation.

"To welcome everyone, Lord Zhou is building a super laboratory, which will cover an area that will definitely exceed that of a European city. All kinds of experiments can be carried out smoothly inside, and it will be completed soon."

For a science fanatic, food and drink are secondary; experiments are the most important thing. So when he heard his friend's statement, Lord Zhou's support for scientific research was completely unwavering. He believed that no other lord in the world would support science so wholeheartedly.

"Everyone, you've all worked hard today. We'll talk about this later. You can see for yourselves whether it's really what we're saying. Right now, all you need to do is eat your fill and get the food served."

The maids and servants brought out exquisite dishes, which completely stunned these people. They had eaten black bread all their lives and had never seen such delicious and visually appealing dishes before.

In the eyes of these people, the dishes on the table are works of art, and they are reluctant to touch them.

The people exclaimed in surprise again when the maids brought out the white bread.

"White bread!"

"It's white bread, and so much of it."

None of them ever expected that they would see white bread in a foreign land thousands of miles away.

Back in my European homeland, only nobles could afford white bread. They were the lowest class of commoners, and even hard, unpalatable black bread couldn't be guaranteed, let alone white bread.

"Even when we eat, we're treated with great politeness."

Everyone reached for the white bread first.

"It smells so good. So this is what white bread tastes like."

Many people have never eaten white bread in their lives, yet they find themselves eating it in a foreign land.

"So soft and fragrant."

"It's delicious. Those damned nobles can only eat this delicious white bread by sucking our blood."

Estein, watching this scene, felt somewhat embarrassed. He had eaten white bread before and was amazed by it, but after arriving in the South China Sea, even the food he ate while begging at the docks was a hundred times better than this white bread.

He was looking at his friends with a bit of embarrassment, wondering what their expressions would be after they ate the dragon dish. He was really looking forward to it.

Zhou Wu didn't prepare much bread. He originally just made a little so that they might miss their hometown, so that everyone could have a taste. Unexpectedly, it has become the most sought-after food.

"Let's try some other dishes."

Seeing that everyone had finished their white bread and was still somewhat unsatisfied, Estan, as someone who had been there before, suggested that everyone try the dragon dish.

"Well, let's give it a try. We need to fill our stomachs eventually."

"This looks pretty good, but I wonder how it tastes."

"As long as it fills my stomach, that's enough. I don't expect it to be particularly delicious."

To be honest, although the dragon dish looked exquisite and beautiful in the eyes of these foreigners, it might not taste good. However, their hunger made them start to eat other dishes.

However, once everyone had tasted the first bite, they couldn't control themselves anymore, and the scene became chaotic.

"It's so delicious! Oh my god, I actually waited so long for this delicious food just for a piece of white bread."

"White bread is nothing, this is the real delicacy."

"The people of the Great Dragon are so lucky to be able to eat such delicious food."

The current scene is exactly as Estein imagined, because he was in the same situation back then.

After the dinner, a special person took them to their pre-prepared accommodations to rest.

. . . . . . .

Zhou Wu did not rush to get these foreign scientists into work mode immediately. Instead, he gave them a ten-day vacation. He wanted them to learn more about the Great Dragon and enjoy life with their families. He wanted them to get used to the environment of the South China Sea and, more importantly, to make sure they could stay in the South China Sea.

However, Zhou Wu did not sit idle. Instead, he asked Estan to compile a list of the topics or achievements that these scientists were good at and were currently researching, so that Zhou Wu could easily review them.

"power."

"Material."

"drug."

"..."

"My God, I can't believe I'm living in a feudal society."

Looking at the catalog that Estein had prepared, Zhou Wu was so happy he almost fainted. It was hard to imagine that there were so many cutting-edge research projects in this era.

Although these projects may still be very rudimentary, at least people have some basic concepts, and many have already achieved certain research results.

Take Estan, for example. He studies power systems. Although he may not be able to find an internal combustion engine now, he has begun to explore research on steam power.

Science is mostly not difficult; it's just that people haven't found the right answers yet, so they keep searching. But with Zhou Wu's modern knowledge to remind us, this process might be much faster.

The first phase of the laboratory was completed five days ago. Although the first phase is only one-fifth of the entire laboratory, it is enough to accommodate the dozens of people who are currently conducting experiments and research.

Next came the procurement of equipment and materials needed by these people. However, the scientific instruments required in this era were still in a blank period, and there was no fixed standard. Therefore, scientists made almost all of their own tools and equipment.
