Chapter 46 Hometown
After finishing their meal, the group immediately went to the Amelansi Trian Academy of Sciences. This large research facility, located on the banks of the river in an expanding industrial area, is accommodating more and more researchers. The Amelansi National Union University is also located here, but it will consider relocating in the future.
“Sains”.
"Ah, Miss... and Your Majesty, it's been a long time. Are you here to hear good news, or to provide guidance on research and development?"
Sainz was still sweating profusely, wearing an apron and with several tools in his pocket. The First Mechanical Laboratory was a crucial position, guiding the industrial machinery manufacturing of the entire five-year plan.
"good news?"
"The good news is that, following your principles, we have successfully overcome the technical challenges of wired telegraph technology, and it does indeed, as you said, transmit signals over long distances."
"good news!"
Telegraph technology and its power source—electricity—is undoubtedly a new discipline, and Alice immediately ordered the establishment of the "Electric Power Industry Laboratory".
However, the electrodynamics represented by Maxwell's equations had already been revealed by Alice in advance. Now, having retrieved the tablet, Alice is able to build a new power system.
"We need an empty laboratory with a high level of security."
"No problem, this way please."
Sain led the group into the basement of the Academy of Sciences building. Beneath the brick walls, the laboratory was surrounded by kerosene lamps and had a complete ventilation system. The dust on the table indicated that it had not been used for a long time.
"This is the planned future laboratory complex; it doesn't exist on the blueprints for the Academy of Sciences building..."
“Very well, Sainz, you may stay.”
Alice looked at Alicia, seemingly seeking her opinion, and Alicia nodded: "The people here are trustworthy."
Alice nodded. Some things cannot be convinced by words; only seeing is believing.
"Everyone, I was once a hero summoned by the Holy Church, and Mother should know this."
Most people, except for Vera who had been by her side the whole time, showed surprise. The hero and the "demon king" had actually become mother and daughter?
"The church summoned me from my own world. They wanted me to destroy the so-called Demon King for them. After that, I think everyone can guess what happened."
Alice opened the tablet and placed it on the table. The light emitted by this small tablet was much brighter than that provided by the kerosene lamp.
"In my world, we follow the path of science to develop. We have conquered the deepest oceans and soared to the highest skies. We have obtained the truth of nature and permanently changed the face of the earth with our own power."
"Please allow me to show you my home, my world, my era—and my history."
From barbarism to civilization, from wilderness to cities, from ignorance to wisdom, from the first life underwater to soaring into space, Alice showed them so much without holding back. Alice believed they would see the future that all of this represented.
"My daughter... So you were born in such a prosperous era?"
Alicia saw the man-made steel mountains and the enormous iron dragon, and she had no doubt that Alice might want to replicate them.
"This is a miracle created by our world over hundreds of years and generations, Mother... my lord..."
Alicia suddenly felt a strong urge to pat Alice's head. She could clearly see the sadness and longing in Alice's eyes, as well as the anger at what could never be returned to.
It's not surprising. Alice originally had her own life, everything she knew and cherished, but she was forced to come into this world and could never return to her familiar hometown.
His original mother would be very sad. Would he miss his family?
Alicia clenched her fists silently. Although she called herself "mother," she seemed unable to fill the void in Alice's heart regarding "family."
"Alice..."
Alicia looked at Alice, reached out and touched her head, wanting to say something, but in the end remained silent.
She didn't know how to comfort her, to comfort the soul of a wanderer. She didn't fully understand Alice; she just wanted to fulfill her responsibility.
"A golden age for science..."
Sainz exclaimed that the science section revealed a brilliant path, a path to the future, and that she had asked herself countless times: Are these machines toys or science?
It is now clear that machinery will usher in a new era for them, and the path to this new era lies beneath their feet.
“Ms. Sainz, this machine called the tablet computer is the industrial jewel of our time. It is equivalent to an entire library. Now, it contains the knowledge of hundreds of millions of books. This knowledge can take us back to that era.”
Sainz immediately stood up, her eyes fixed on the tablet as if she had found a treasure.
"You have the authority to access its information, but we must classify it as top secret. We cannot reveal its existence, even if it means death."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, the tablet was worth more than an entire country; with it, they could rise to the top in one fell swoop.
The common language in mainland China and English have more than 90% similarity, and most of the documents are in English. Alice doesn't believe they can't understand them.
"Vera?"
Vera, startled by the call, looked directly at Alice. Yes, directly at her; Alice's height had become the same as Vera's, and there was no possibility that she would grow taller in the foreseeable future, whereas Vera's had the potential to grow taller.
"Ah...yes, Sister Alice..."
"Ah, as for your work, come here whenever you have free time to copy the information on the tablet. After all, we can't take the secret out, so this is the only way."
"Waaah, teachers are exploiting their students..."
Vera made a gesture, and an angry glint appeared on Alice's temple—Vera looked at the sneering Alice through her hand, which was pretending to wipe away tears, then turned around and stood at attention to salute.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"You better be."
"Um, is there any information about magical machinery on this?"
Anna, who had been standing next to Alicia, raised her hand and asked, but she found that Alice just shook her head regretfully.
"I'm sorry... Miss Anne... Our world doesn't have magic, but you can refer to the mechanical structures in the database. Hmm, maybe we should open a magical mechanical laboratory?"
"Please, Miss Alice, this is very important to me!"
Anna is probably Alicia's friend. Alice can tell that Anna and Alicia have a relationship; they've just started dating.
"Alright, ladies, may our dreams come true. Alice, I have something to say to you."
Alicia beckoned Alice over; she wanted to get to know Alice better.
