Although Dusand repeatedly emphasized that Polina's gas internal combustion engine had fatal flaws, Polina still had no intention of giving up on display.

She couldn't afford the ticket to travel from Newar to other places.

This is her first stop for her to seek funding for her invention. If she does not receive enough funding, this may also be her last stop.

Polina, who cut off relations with her family for the sake of her studies, was Polina, who graduated from Imperial University with the first grade. For her invention, Polina, who resolutely resigned from Imperial Machinery Company, took three years to exhaust all her savings to develop a gas internal combustion engine, and was definitely not a person who would give up easily.

She decided to bet everything about her on this exhibition. Whether it is the past twenty-two years of life or the future career, as long as she has it in her hands, she will put it all on the stage.

Either die or live. There is no third way in front of Polina.

"I don't have time to debug." After hearing Dusand's words, Polina showed a bitter smile. "I will explain all this to the audience when it is displayed."

Dusander looked at the young inventor in front of him seriously and sighed softly.

"Then I wish you all the best." Although he had already sentenced Polina to death for his demonstration in his heart, Dusand could not allow himself to sit idly.

The equipment that appears in front of you is an important invention that will change the entire human history process. More importantly, the manufacturing of internal combustion engines and related industries... it is very profitable!

Without economic independence, there is no personality independence. Dusand has a very deep understanding of this principle. He is only ten years old now, and there is nothing that can be called a foreign aid - he does not even have the system and plug-in standard for time travelers.

When the mother provided her with food, clothing, housing and transportation and a series of care for her, Dusande's personal opinions became insignificant.

As the commander of the fleet, his father Du Rang was stationed in the satellite orbit of Nusar for many years, and everything at home was decided by his mother. According to imperial laws, a man could get married at the age of twelve as long as the guardian agreed.

If this progress continues... in another two years, Dusand will definitely marry Lorraine.

Although the noble family has a high status, the expense of maintaining status is very high. Although my mother is a gentle and kind person, she probably would not refuse the support sent by her in-laws and family.

Although the Lorraine family is not aristocrat, as the general sales agent of United Mining, Mr. Winsal and Ms. Bloomne are really rich.

And these two people who can work from ordinary clerks in the mining consortium to this position for twenty years as civilians, naturally would not be fools. They pleased Baroness Androni in an almost flattering way, and in such a decent way, they promoted the "purpose" of trying to marry to the outside world.

This only shows that what they want to obtain is far more important than self-esteem and family reputation, and even more important than the lifelong happiness of their daughter.

Such things are of great value, and they can only be achieved by marrying Lorraine to herself.

The fief of Baroness Androni is located in the native of Newar, and the fief does not produce coal. The purpose of marrying the Baroness family is naturally not to add more wealth to the already rich family fortune.

Their purpose is undoubtedly in the name of aristocraticism. It is very good for their daughter to be a bauble, and of course it is best to have a grandson who can inherit the title.

With the name of aristocrats and their thick wallets, perhaps in another ten years, a young female parliamentarian who looks extremely beautiful and sacrifices everything for the benefit of the family will appear in the parliament of Newar.

The impure motives of the prospective parents-in-law made Dusand feel natural resistance, but what made Dusander most unhappy to get married was another thing.

To be honest, if you marry a beautiful and rich little loli, many people may wake up in the middle of the night when they get home. But if the little loli married to her is Lorene, Dusand would probably not dare to close his eyes when he goes to bed at night.

This child's personality is so scary.

When the two met, six-year-old Loreen was very cheerful. Because she was two years older than Dusand, she regarded herself as a "sister" every time she met Dusand. She also took great care of her little brother with a "introvert" atmosphere.

But after she started to receive "teaching" from a tutor at the age of eight, Lorene's personality suddenly changed drastically. She changed from the cheerful little girl who liked to run in the woods to an "excellent lady" who kept saying "for the benefit of the family."

If I really get married in the future, what if one day Luo Lin thinks it is better to kill herself for the sake of family interests and then use her son to make the nobles...will she have to travel through time again, who has just passed by?

If I had a free love relationship, maybe Dusand could still break up Lorraine's personality. But now people decided to agree to engagement for the sake of family interests, and they also said, "It's better to marry you than to be a concubine for a great nobleman in his fifties" - is this to treat me as an alternative?

How can a good man with a four-foot (about 1.2 meters) be used as a spare tire for a little loli?

Dusand has a dream, a dream that needs to be built on "smoothly improved internal combustion engines, and suddenly became rich after commercializing them."

He wants to use his huge income to make his mother and father respect his opinions, at least not get engaged to Lorraine immediately.

Then he relied on his identity as a "rich generation from scratch" to get used to it in a reasonable, legal and compliant manner, and to get Lorene in hand.

By the way, I will break this little girl with a "family interests" minded mind into a normal girl with a three-way girl with a life outlook, world outlook and values ​​that match her.

For this life goal, first of all... I have to find a way to keep Polina in Newar and by my side.

Next to the lounge, in the corridor leading to the main building, Dusand met his mother in a beige dress.

Compared with other noble costumes, Androni's dress is simple. But with her gentle and elegant temperament and dignified face, the simple dress actually adds to her temperament as the hostess.

Gentle but not hot, dignified but not alienated. Androni is like a natural convener and arbiter. She can always calm the people around her, temporarily let go of sharp conflicts and seek ways to reconcile.

"Have you seen that invention?" Androni squatted down slightly and gently touched Dusander's head. "How does it feel? Do you don't quite understand what it does?"

"See it." Dusander narrowed his eyes and waited for the touch to end. If he asked to terminate the action in advance, his mother would be very unhappy. "The inventor is very talented - I have never heard of female students at Imperial University before."

Androni smiled, "Since she was admitted to the Department of Mechanics at Imperial University, Polina has been a regular visitor to Olin's major newspapers and magazines. She is indeed very talented, and this is also one of the reasons why I decided to help her..."

Although my mother didn't say it directly, Dusander was very convinced that "help her" refers to this dance.

My mother had some sympathy for this inventor with a stubborn temper, which was a good thing. It was conducive to the development of Dusand's follow-up plan. After all, Polina was an amazing person who successfully broke the prejudice against women through personal efforts in this stagnant water of the Empire. Also as a woman, Androni would sympathize with her and be willing to give her some effort... This is also a very normal thing.

"Why did she go to the newspaper?" Dusand asked with a naive and curious expression, "Is it because she has many amazing feats?"

Androni's expression was a little strange. She shook her head and said simply, "Many newspapers are waiting to see her jokes."

It seemed that it was inappropriate to discuss these contents with her ten-year-old son. Androni changed the subject, "You are getting along well with Miss Lorene?"

"It's pretty good." Dusand nodded seriously, "It might have been a little better if her parents weren't so eager to marry Miss Lorraine to me."

After being amused by her son's words for a while, Androni said seriously, "It's still a bit early for you to discuss marriage now - let's talk about it in two years."

"I want to learn more." Dusand, who keenly noticed the entry point, immediately followed up, "It would be great if Miss Polina could be my teacher. This is the first time I have seen my mother that you are so interested in someone."

Androni smiled, "The great technician Polina is not an ordinary tutor. If this show is successful, we may have to pay a very generous salary to attract her to stay in the manor and be a teacher for you. If she really stays, will you learn from her?"

Dusand nodded vigorously and replied loudly, "I will!"

As for the salary matter... you don't have to worry too much - her display will definitely fail. Dusand muttered in his heart, and decided to stay by the inventor's side all the way when the display begins to prevent her from doing anything extreme due to failure.

For example, being angry and embarrassed, then waving a wrench to smash this epoch-making great invention.

"It's almost time." Androni looked at the pocket watch hidden around her waist, then stood up and said to Dusand, "Dear, can you ask you to dance the first dance with Loreen later?"

On the wall about one and a half high, hundreds of gas lamps produced by Olin's "White Flame" company are emitting a steady yellow light.

For a dance hall that can easily accommodate hundreds of people, it is obviously not enough to rely on these gas lamps to illuminate it alone. Therefore, two large crystal flint lamps were specially set up in the center of the dance hall. The servants in the basement quantitatively put flints wrapped in asbestos mesh into the reaction dish according to the pointer value of the pressure gauge. The flints thrown into the reaction dish will interact with the water in the reaction dish, and then a large number of bubbles will appear.

The gases in these bubbles have a strong garlic smell, so they are safer when used - as long as the servants don't smell the garlic in the room, there is nothing to worry about.

These gases are collected by the pipes above the reaction vessel and then follow the pipes into the flint lamp burner on the ceiling. There are blocks of lime in the burner. When the flames ignited by this gas are burned, the blocks of lime will emit dazzling white light - it is most suitable to neutralize and strengthen the light of the surrounding gas lamps.

However, when the flint lamp burns, there will inevitably be some black smoke and odor. At this time, the exhaust fan on the top of the dance hall can come in handy.

Anyway, when the boiler is fully operational, the room can still maintain a suitable temperature. The nobles don’t care, so how much coal it will need to burn in one day when the boiler runs.

Instead of spending money from the industry, they care more about whether their dancing postures at the dance party are cool, whether their conversations are in line with their identity... and whether their evaluation of themselves has increased in the social circle.

The band began to play music, and under the guidance of the soft and brisk string orchestra, the nobles who were holding drinks in the dance floor gradually stopped communicating. They began to turn their eyes to the center of the dance floor, the hostess with gentle expressions but eye-catching temperament.

"Welcome to everyone." She picked up the crystal goblet, "We are gathered here today in the glory of His Majesty the Emperor."

The nobles around raised their glasses together and echoed in a mess, "Your Majesty's glory!"

"To celebrate the 175th anniversary of the reclaimed Nusar and to congratulate the respectable Duke of Nusar on his acquisition of the seat of the Upper Court of the Empire, we hold a celebration here." Androni raised the wine glass in her hand, "For the health of Duke!"

"For health!" After the regular toast, the male nobles raised their glasses and drank the drinks in one go. The other ladies, like Androni, put the glasses together and took a sip.

"The dance will begin soon. Before that, please allow me to introduce to you the only female technician in the five hundred years since the establishment of the Imperial University, Ms. Polina!" Androni smiled and stretched out her hand back, "and the greatest invention of this era that she brought, the gas machine!"

Dusand, who was huddled beside the dessert table, held his hands with his chest and stared at the door of the lounge. He had begun to sympathize with Polina. His mother made very positive publicity for her appearance out of kindness. This behavior would undoubtedly arouse the curiosity and expectation of the nobles around him.

When they find that their expectation is disappointed because "the machine cannot operate properly", Polina may face the most intense attacks and dilemma.

Dusand sighed, and for his own goal, he decided to stand by and watch for the sake of his goal. Although doing this is somewhat immoral, it can even be said to be "taking advantage of others' danger". Only in this way can Polina realize how precious the olive branch she has delivered is.

Thinking of this, Dusander glanced at Lorraine, who was standing beside him, quietly and somewhat curious. Then he shook his head gently.
Chapter completed!
