Chapter 29 Little Rhinoceros Visits the Bookstore
The crowd began to watch Zhang Jing's car, wondering how he would park it.
We've arrived at the supermarket.
The car drove into the parking lot.
"Lu Chen, Si Zi, you two come down first," Zhang Jing said, getting down himself.
Zhang Jing casually closed the car door and took out his phone to press a few buttons.
"Watch closely, Lu Chen, Si Zi, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived!"
The black SUV, nicknamed "Tank," started slowly with a slight hum.
Like a docile yet intelligent steel behemoth, it emits a gentle warning sound while swaying its body from side to side, transforming into a nimble snake, steadily inserting itself into the narrow parking space, maintaining equal position with the two cars on either side, and parking perfectly.
Finally, the hazard lights beeped twice, as if bowing in homage.
"Wow—!" Little Sizi opened her mouth wide, pointing her little finger at the car, "Honey! The car can walk by itself! It can even turn corners! It's so smart!" Her little face was full of disbelief.
Lu Chen also clicked his tongue in amazement: "This automatic parking is even more efficient than I imagined."
"That's right, technology changes lives!" Zhang Jing said smugly, putting away his phone and locking his car.
Beyond the heavens, the entire realm is in turmoil!
Xianyang Camp: Ying Zheng suddenly stood up, forgetting even the fried eggs on the table.
"No driver needed! This chariot moves on its own, as if controlled by an arm! Zhao Gao! Have the Mohists and Gongshu Ban brothers observe it closely! This 'automatic parking' technique must be thoroughly understood! This 'iron ox and iron horse' is the true pinnacle of the 'wooden ox and flowing horse'!"
The PhD students had already gathered in front of the canopy, pointing and arguing excitedly.
In the Hall of State Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin sighed, "If my Xuanjia cavalry were equipped with such divine skills, what would I have to worry about regarding the defense of the Yinshan Pass?"
Empress Zhangsun exclaimed in amazement, "This carriage is so intelligent! The rhinoceros said it was clever," which couldn't be more fitting.
In Yingtian Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang forgot to bite the cake in his hand and stared wide-eyed: "Good heavens! This iron thing really has eyes?"
Find its own spot and lie down? It's more obedient than our warhorses! If our Ming Dynasty had this, how much faster we could transport grain and troops!
Empress Ma shook her head with a smile: "Chongba, your mind is already on war again. Look how happy you are."
On the streets and alleys: "Incredible skill! Absolutely incredible skill!"
"Has the car come to life?"
"What 'science'! Didn't the young master say it was 'technology'? It's the science of electricity!"
"Sweeping and parking don't need anyone anymore? Modern people—they really know how to enjoy life!"
"If the landlord's family had this, they wouldn't even need a coachman!"
"Now that you've saved on the driver, where will you eat?"
"Well----
On the sky.
Lu Chen and Zhang Jing, along with Xiao Sizi, walked into the supermarket together.
As soon as we entered the supermarket, the endless shelves, the dazzling array of goods, and the bustling crowds instantly filled the little guy's field of vision.
Her little head turned this way and that, and she couldn't see enough of it all.
Although the little one was no stranger to supermarkets, the colorful packaging, the huge GG signs, and the screens playing music and promotional information still dazzled her.
"Welcome!" The staff at the door greeted us with a smile.
Zhang Jing, familiar with the place, pushed over a shopping cart: "Come on, little princess, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Zhang Jing!" Xiao Sizi was lifted up by Lu Chen and parachuted directly into the small seat.
"Zhang Jing, what do you want to buy?" Lu Chen asked.
"I'm buying a suit because I have an event with the China Artists Association to attend."
"My God! That's progress! You're a full-fledged intellectual now!" Lu Chen was surprised; this guy had leveled up.
"Uh, I'm just joining in the fun, having some fun." Zhang Jing said a little embarrassedly, scratching his head.
"Come with me, I'm going to buy some clothes for Xiao Sizi," Zhang Jing quickly changed the subject.
"No, Xiao Si has plenty of clothes. Children grow quickly, so there's no need to buy too many. I want to buy her a book. Let's go to the second floor; you can go to the third floor yourself."
"Wrong! Well, okay, see you in the lobby on the first floor in a bit." Zhang Jing had no choice but to agree.
"Brother! Take the elevator! It's so big!" Little Sizi still remembers.
"Oh! Little Sizi isn't afraid of riding the escalator?" Lu Chen was surprised.
"I'm not afraid of ducks~~" The little guy raised his proud little head.
We arrived at the escalator.
"Brother, I need to remember this!" Little Si looked up at Lin Chen.
"Okay." Lu Chen looked at Zhang Jing, "Let's hold her hand."
"One, two, go!" Lu Chen shouted.
"Hey!" Under the protection of her two older brothers, the little girl nimbly took her first steps and stood firmly on her feet.
"Ha..." The little one's heart was still pounding; she could climb the escalator by herself now!
After getting off the elevator, the three split into two groups.
Lu Chen brought Xiao Sizi to the bookstore.
There are already a few people browsing books here.
Lu Chen took Xiao Sizi's soft little hand and stepped into this ocean of books.
Rows of bookshelves of varying heights, along with tables and small chairs for people to sit on.
The bookshelves were densely packed with colorful books of various sizes, and the air was filled with the faint scent of ink.
"Wow—" Little Sizi tilted his head back and let out a long exclamation, his eyes wide open.
This scene is even more breathtaking than the supermarket shelves we just saw.
In her little world, books were precious, and they were carefully copied onto bamboo slips or silk.
The mountain of books before her shone with a brand-new brilliance, so many that her little mind could hardly comprehend them.
"Brother---Are there more books here than stars in the sky?" Her little hand gripped Lu Chen's finger tightly, her voice filled with awe and disbelief.
Lu Chen chuckled at her naive analogy, bent down to pick her up, and showed her the vast sea of books: "Yes, Sizi, there are so many books here, covering all sorts of topics. Look over there."
He pointed to a brightly colored area not far away, "Those are picture books for children. Let's go see if there are any you like, okay?"
"Okay!" Little Sizi nodded vigorously, his little face full of anticipation.
Outside the sky:
Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng gazed at the vast bookstore with burning eyes.
"Li Si! Do you see that? So many books! If my Great Qin had such a library, containing all the knowledge in the world, how could we worry about the stability of our country or the ignorance of our people? Issue an edict: expand the Palace of Scholars again, collect more books from all over the world, and order people to double the copying!"
He felt as if he had discovered an unprecedented treasure trove of knowledge, and his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.
Datang.
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"Compared to the Hongwen Academy, it is but a drop in the ocean," Li Shimin sighed. "If Zhinu and the others could study here, their horizons would be broadened immeasurably."
Empress Zhangsun gazed tenderly at her daughter, who was curiously peering into the sky: "It is a blessing for Sizi to be able to wander here."
Look, the young man is going to find her picture books; they're sure to be very interesting.
Ming dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the now-cold pancake in his hand, stared at the mountain of books, and clicked his tongue: "Good heavens! How much paper and ink must this have taken? This later generation—they're truly rolling in wealth! If only the people of our Ming Dynasty could all read a few books like this—"
He recalled the hardships of being deprived of school in his childhood, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.
Empress Ma gently patted his hand: "Chongba, your descendants will have good fortune. Look at how happy Sizi is, this child will surely be learned in the future."
The people of Wanchao exclaimed, "Heavens! So many books! Are they all made of paper? How many trees would have to be cut down?"
"Scholars! Look! That's a paradise for scholars!"
"A picture book? For kids? It must be even better drawn than traditional New Year's pictures, right?"
"If my child could even touch a book like this, my life would be complete!"
Little Sizi was carried by Lu Chen as they strolled through the children's book section.
Her little hand traced the smooth book cover, which was printed with cute animals, dreamy castles, and sparkling stars. Lu Chen picked up a pop-up book with a giant dinosaur on the cover and gently opened it.
"Wow—!" Little Sizi exclaimed, his eyes instantly lighting up like light bulbs.
On the pages of the book, a huge, brightly colored dinosaur skeleton sprang up with a "whoosh," its mouth wide open, as if it were about to burst out of the book!
"Pot! Farmer! Big Farmer! It—it stands up, Naya!"
