Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

When Heidi woke up, it was still light outside the window.

Her lover had left early to check on the paint in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Heidi shook the long rope at the head of the bed, and the inner officer soon appeared in front of her.

Breakfast is a warm little burger - one of the queen's creations.

The beef patties are fried to just the right level, served with lettuce and sauce, served with boiled milk and other small snacks.

Heidi sat up on the down pillow, still a little sleepy.

She smelled the aroma of beef after the olive oil was fried, and said, "If you don't want to eat it, take it away."

The internal officer looked a little terrified: "Your Majesty...then you..."

"Two slices of white bread will do."

She has been having little appetite for greasy food lately.

Today, the Florence Academy has carried out research on the design of steam engines and radio stations. The first communication line was laid from the academy to the old palace, and information exchange was successfully completed——

However, because the distance is not too far, people now only use it to complete some simple responses.

For example, two short and one long, that is, "There is a new major discovery here, please come and take a look when the queen is free."

At this stall, the House of Commons approved the funding and started the process of laying radio lines.

The conduction tool is copper wire, but it must be covered with three layers inside and outside, and buried deep in the ground.

——Rats are as annoying as greedy farmers. If one is not careful, the signal network built at a huge cost may be destroyed by them.

The first line will run from Florence to Lucca.

If all goes well, more workers and mercenaries will be recruited into the army, and at the same time start the cable communication station construction projects of 'Florence-Genoa' and 'Florence-Rome'.

At least for now, these areas have begun to have cobweb-like roads started to be built, and the time for traveling and dispatching troops in the future will be greatly shortened.

The queen still pays attention to the development of the economy, and after appointing Niccolo Machiavelli as the Minister of Finance, she gave him enough power to build a larger department to balance and encourage the economic exchange of the entire country.

In the past, merchants may have to pay taxes to the church and different lords dozens of times when they traveled from south to north in the Holy Roman Empire, but now in Italy, as long as they show relevant documents, they can pay taxes once.

Not only that, the caravans from Florence to other cities began to be encouraged by the government to form larger organizations, and even permanent trade markets were opened in various cities.

People don't have to wait until there is a grand festival to conduct a trade. The centralized and fixed trade points begin to attract many foreign merchants—even the number of immigrants has begun to increase steadily.

Heidi found a time to inspect the new textile factory near the west city.

From a small family-style workshop to a small workshop with concentrated work, and then to a large-scale manual workshop, under the trend of history, it needs at least several hundred years of evolution and change.

But under her hands, all this took less than six years.

——Give sufficient guidance and promotion, and formulate sound norms and regulations, so that many things can develop healthily and scientifically.

Now many new rich merchants have sprung up in the West City. They may have orders from several countries in their hands, and they can also be rich enough to buy a whole set of precious porcelain worth thousands of taels of gold from Arab merchants.

Heidi walked here surrounded by attendants and officials, as if she saw the prototype of an industrial zone.

Many large machines are already in operation - even without the power of steam engines, they can weave fine and fine cloth at a faster speed.

And the functional division of each workshop is quite obvious, everyone knows what they are doing.

This is different from the assembly line of automobile production, but the decomposition and reconstruction of complicated steps.

A large clump of wool was brought over by a cart driven by a groom. A nimble woman was twisting the cotton thread and shaking the spinning wheel. The water in the boiler in the distance was already steaming, and someone was stirring the potion for softening the thread.

Heidi happened to be talking to Niccolo when she smelled the wooly smell. She only felt something stirring in her stomach, and then she rushed to the side and started vomiting uncontrollably.

——This action is somewhat inappropriate, but she is already trying to suppress her abnormal behavior.

As soon as Niccolo's expression changed, he rushed over to support her, lowered his voice and asked if she needed a doctor.

Heidi seemed to have thought of something, and shook her head after receiving the water and handkerchief, signaling them to continue to look at other factory areas.

Her menstruation has stopped for 45 days.

If I haven't come after fifteen days...I'm afraid...

Heidi has always paid careful enough attention to her body.

After all, she lived in an ancient age when a cold could kill her.

Penicillin can't cure all diseases, and those men wearing beak masks look more like weird witch doctors from Bohemia than the word 'doctor'.

She wasn't sure if she was pregnant, but there wasn't any way to test for that.

As early as ten days ago, after a morning work handover, she asked Dejo in a half-joking tone: "How do people test pregnancy now?"

"It's still the same," Dejo helped her organize the letters into three piles, and stamped the emblem of the phoenix symbolizing different fields: "Give the urine to the doctor, or mix it in wine, and see if the color of the wine is different." Variety."

Her Majesty was silent for a few seconds: "Is there any more?"

"Or the ancient Egyptian method - pee directly on the wheat seeds to see if it germinates faster." De Qiao remembered something and asked her: "Do you have a need for this?"

"No, not yet, just curious."

She does not wish to see any of these three.

Heidi also noticed something regrettable after the last hunt.

As many nobles were present at that hunt, many young men accompanied them as squires or guides.

Not just the sons of farmers or hunters—some nobles have at least a dozen or so servants by their side when they travel. They are all in their prime, but they also live like hounds.

There is no need for any personal will, and the education I have received since childhood is how to become a better servant.

After handing over the textile industry to Niccolo, Heidi devoted more time to the office.

She vaguely felt that her calf had edema recently, and her sleep time was constantly lengthening.

——Education is also something worthy of attention.

Leonardo noticed that she was not energetic recently, and he handed over a lot of work to Michelangelo and Raphael, and asked them to complete the more mechanical work for him.

He returned to her side with the manuscript and design draft, and accompanied her to be busy in the office every day.

"Leo," she retreated from the servants, and asked, "What does a school in this world look like?"

Heidi was not very sure about the school system in her previous life.

She grew up in the Jewish education system, and her children grew up in the American-style education system.

But at least this is an era where there are no SATs, and no Ivy League schools exist.

"There are... probably two types of schools." Leonardo took a piece of paper and drew a brief form for her.

"Church School City School"

Knightly education has fallen during this time, an ancient and ridiculous relic.

Heidi blinked, showing a regretful expression: "Theology is the most noble education today, right."

The man shrugged: "I'd love to know what people are working on 500 years from now."

As the name suggests, missionary schools initially monopolized the education industry.

Devout believers are cultivated here, as well as students of good birth or high moral character.

According to the teachings of the Bible, they need to maintain obedience and chastity, and they should have sufficient self-control to avoid desires.

However, after hundreds of years, schools that have repeatedly experienced various sex scandals often have ambiguous ties to the Catholic Church.

Here students learn grammar, rhetoric, logic, and may also learn general knowledge such as geometry and arithmetic.

But their ultimate belief is still inseparable from the word "Bible".

"What about the other kind?" asked Heidi, "What do you mean by city school?"

"The guild school or the school for the children of merchants," Leonardo wrote casually, "I was born here."

Compared with some flashy theological theories, these schools serve the children of merchants or handicraftsmen, giving them enough working skills so that they can get rid of the identity of 'children' at a faster speed and become self-reliant industry players.

However, due to the large number of urban schools in the past hundred years, the number of people who can read and write has continued to increase rapidly, so that pastors no longer become monopolies in several businesses such as letter writing. The church has always been quite dissatisfied with these existences, and even Opposed and blocked in various names.

When Heidi heard this, she suddenly thought of a more important question: "Then how can these children enter the university? Is there a unified test?"

"No," Leo said, shaking his pen tip, "the entry threshold is not clear, but after finishing the study, you have to pass the exam before you can get a degree."

There are two kinds of universities in this era, and people tend to call them "Mr. University" and "Student University".

Mr. University is centered on excellent teachers, who use their reputation to attract students from all over the world.

The student university is all managed and controlled by the students-students can independently choose the positioning of tuition fees and the hiring of teachers for different subjects, and Florence College belongs to this type.

Theology, law and medicine are the most important components, and theology always occupies the most central position.

When Heidi was hired as a lecturer and consultant at the Florence Academy, half of it was due to the instruction and sponsorship of the ruler Lorenzo, and the other half was indeed that the student community had enough curiosity and respect for her.

Now time turns, this university has 'engineering' and 'science' to conduct more targeted research and study.

"So... are you going to set a threshold for them, or build a bridge?" Leonardo paused at the tip of his pen, watching her expression: "I feel that you have always given great support to science and engineering, which is related to the future Does it matter too?"

Heidi wanted to answer something, but the familiar nausea surged up from her stomach again, and she had to cover her mouth to find the small bucket next to her—

The sound of vomiting made the man's face change, he quickly got up to help her, and let the quill fall to the carpet.

"Heidi—are you poisoned? Shall I take you to rest? Do you need smelling salts? Or some fresh water?"

Heidi held the table and vomited for a long time, looking a little embarrassed: "Bring a glass of water here."

"Could it be that people from Borgia have sneaked in again?" Leonardo looked quite vigilant: "I'll go and screen the people in the palace later, let Dejo stay with you during this time .”

"You... really don't know what this means?" She covered her mouth and said with difficulty.

"What... mean?" The man showed a blank expression.

-2-

Heidi took a few deep breaths, realizing that something was indeed a problem.

If this is modern times, everything from pregnancy checks to birth checks can be entrusted to doctors.

She can drive to the hospital in comfort and deliver the baby only on the orders of the midwife.

Her period had been delayed by seventy days, and something had become all too clear.

Unless she suffers from other diseases beyond the scope of knowledge, there is only one possibility at the moment-she is pregnant.

"Leo, sit down." She said calmly, "I have something to tell you."

"Jewish things?" He was still holding her hand, with a worried and uneasy expression: "You told me that last time, your body is important right now."

"No...Leo," she changed into a more relaxed position, and took another sip of water: "I might be pregnant."

The man's expression was blank for a few seconds.

He stood up, then sat down immediately, wanted to say something to her, stood up again immediately, and sat down suddenly again.

"I'm talking about possibility," Heidi let him hold her hand, her tone a little helpless: "As far as the current conditions are concerned, I can't make a conclusion until my belly gets bigger."

Leonardo stood up abruptly again, his tone more cautious: "Pregnant—pregnant?"

He held her hand tightly, swallowed and took a deep breath for a while, repeating the word: "Are you pregnant?"

"Maybe it is." She said slowly, "It's just this one time, and I'll have to use contraception in the future."

"you are pregnant?!"

"When did you become a mockingbird...just repeating."

"We are going to be parents?!" Leonardo could hardly control the expression on his face, and at this moment he almost wanted to run downstairs a few times: "We will have our own children?!"

Heidi finished the glass of water and handed it to him.

The latter didn't even need to speak, and ran out quickly with the cup in hand, and when he came back, his hands were full of things——

Weasel skins, a fruit basket, a full glass of water, ottomans, dolls, and a large bottle of wine.

... He obviously went out for 3 minutes just now.

"You need to calm down, Mr. Leonardo." Heidi propped her chin and looked at her Santa-like husband and said, "Also, pregnant women are not allowed to drink alcohol, at least not until the pregnancy is over."

When she realized that her menstrual period was delayed, she had secretly stopped all alcohol intake, and told the cook not to pour any alcohol while cooking.

Alcohol will affect the development of the fetus, and the farther away from her the better at this time.

Leonardo immediately inserted the bottle of wine into the potted plant, and put it on the table with a full load of things, using soft cushions to make her sit more comfortably.

"Heidi..." he murmured, "I don't have much experience, I hope you won't be angry."

She reached out and caressed his face, smiling calmly: "Not sure yet, don't worry."

"But... if this child is really going to come," she slowed down her voice, lowering her head and stroking her flat belly: "It's best not to let anyone know about it until it's born."

Leonardo immediately put the weasel fur back into his sleeves, like an extremely loyal knight: "Everything is at your command."

Although he knew the way to have children in this era, he instinctively chose to believe everything she ordered.

"It's not because of a certain custom," Heidi slowly leaned on his shoulder, her tone was a little tired: "It has something to do with my identity."

If the fact of her pregnancy is known to other countries, it is like exposing the weakness to all enemies.

The queen's conception and childbirth will affect the future of the entire empire, and even if she succeeds in giving birth, the child's safety will be the number one trouble.

The Queen of Denmark ruled the three countries in Northern Europe, but her son died of illness when she was a teenager, which directly shook her prestige and status.

Women have a natural disadvantage in this regard.

A man can be merciful everywhere, allowing illegitimate children to be born like pikas.

But women, as bearers, must face death if they want to have an heir.

"First of all, I have to find a time to talk to you about the matter of childbirth." Heidi stared into his eyes and said, "This matter is a bit bloody, but only if you come to give birth to me, I will give birth to you." You can rest assured."

He is the only one she can trust her fate to.

"Okay." Leonardo said seriously: "I have dissected the uterus and fetus, and I remember the structure very well."

Heidi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "In the days to come, I will choose loose clothes, and at the same time, I will no longer attend horse riding and other affairs."

It is the end of June now, and if the child is conceived in October, it will be born around April next year.

It was a good time - not too cold or too hot.

"We can't let people from other countries know about this, and we must be cautious about drinking water and eating." She rubbed her brows and said, "This is a difficult secret to keep."

"What if it is discovered." He frowned. "Just as we prepared for the Battle of Genoa, we have to design an emergency procedure."

"It's not important to be discovered, what's important is that they might do something to me, and to the whole of Italy." Taking a deep breath, Heidi took out a letter from the pages of the book and handed it to him: "You will With complete power, as the second king of this country."

"This is not enough." She whispered: "We need more powerful weapons and more powerful support speed."

The border defenses from the north to the south had to be redesigned, and she couldn't pin her success or failure on the loyalty of the Jino family.

Leonardo was about to say something when suddenly there was a violent roar in the distance.

He instinctively stood in front of her, wrapping her in his arms.

There was a series of roaring sounds, and even the ground under his feet began to vibrate slightly.

Heidi's face turned pale, and she grabbed his sleeve tightly and asked, "What is this? Leo? Is someone calling?!"

A louder and more dull roar came again, and the direction seemed to come from the Florence Academy.

"We don't want to go anywhere," Leonardo said with a cold voice, looking sideways out of the window, "I'll be here to guard you."

They waited in silence for a while, and found that there was no disturbance in the city.

Dejo and Niccolo ran over at the same time, both panting.

"My lord—" Niccolo gasped and said first, "Some students blew up Florence Academy!"

Heidi froze for a moment, then looked up at Leo.

Did you leave out the recipe proportions?

The man frowned and shook his head.

No.

"Halfway exploded, and the fire has stopped!" De Qiao took the lead and said: "The explosion started from the warehouse. Several houses have been completely blown up, and some people inside are still buried there!"

"Let the mercenaries go over to help rescue immediately," Heidi stood up and said, "What's going on?"

"I caught the insider here," Niccolo turned his head, and the guards behind brought up an old man with a white beard: "He was the first person to know about this, and he hid not far away when the explosion happened. on."

Heidi signaled the guards to let him go, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Since the components of the black powder were not leaked, and there were no successive riots and attacks, could it be...a scientific experiment accident?

"who are you?"

"My lord," the old man was trembling with fright, "I'm the doorman, and I was teasing cats in a place far away from the warehouse."

"What happened?" she asked. "Did you see the explosion?"

"Actually... I almost escaped with my legs broken." He showed her the scorched holes in his clothes and trousers, and said in a slightly aggrieved tone: "This matter is simply inexplicable—could it be God? Are you angry?"

"Wait a minute," Leonardo interrupted, "what happened in the warehouse?"

"Nothing happened." The old man was at a loss: "It's a loaded nitric acid sub-store, and the nitric acid inside is packed in big barrels—according to His Majesty's previous instructions, no flint is allowed to be brought into or out of this kind of place. That student did the same thing! He just carried a sack of cotton, saying that there wasn’t enough space in other warehouses, so let’s put it here for a while!”

cotton?

Heidi froze for a moment, vaguely realizing something.

Could it be said that when nitric acid meets cotton, it will directly become an explosive?

"Half of the Florence Academy is gone!" The old man was about to cry: "It was really blown up!"
