When Heidi woke up, she found that there was an extra man beside her.

She blinked, realizing a fact.

From today, she is a married woman.

I have been sleeping alone for decades, but now I can really sleep deeply with my lover, but I am a little surprised.

The morning light shone on Leonardo's face, coating his long eyelashes with a light golden light.

She could hear his shallow breathing and his straight nose.

This man who is good at painting and anatomy also has a pretty good bone.

Even if the quilt covers his mermaid-like waistline and only exposes his bare collarbone and neck, it is as perfect as a marble statue created by Michelangelo.

The sound of their breathing overlapped gently, leaning on each other's skin to be warm and soft.

She froze for a moment, then curled into his arms.

Close enough to hear his deep and powerful heartbeat.

Probably because of this little action, the man woke up in a daze.

He hugged her subconsciously, with a hoarse voice: "Good morning, Heidi."

Heidi rubbed his cheek, then raised her head and kissed the corner of his lips: "Good morning."

Leonardo suddenly remembered what happened last night, his cheeks were a little red: "I yesterday..."

"It's not bad." She chuckled.

"It can be better..." He sighed softly, "And longer."

Heidi stretched out her hand to hook his neck, letting the hug become ambiguous and hot, and leaned over to whisper in his ear, like a charming banshee.

"you will."

The feeling of getting married is as if the soul is suddenly attached to another person. Even if there are many walls and barriers, you will instinctively want to sense the existence of the other person.

Heidi was quite calm, but Leonardo was always a little cute and green.

Although according to his current age of 34, the children should have given birth to a litter, but he didn't even dare to watch Heidi change clothes.

——It may also be because if you read it, this morning is probably going to be ruined.

They have exchanged wedding rings, and the inside of the ring finger is engraved with each other's initials, and now they are much more calm when they are married.

The rumors of Florence in the previous years were finally settled.Back then, many infatuated girls pursued Leonardo hard and failed, so they deduced a bloody plot based on various clues—this gentleman had been in love with Miss Medici for a long time, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else in his eyes!

At that time, Da Vinci was tired of getting rid of the rumors and accusations of homosexuality, and he was relieved when he heard the rumor.

But no one would have thought that the rumors that were jokes at the beginning have really become reality now.

He loved her quietly for many years, and finally stood by her side.

Mr. Piero maintained a dubious attitude until the wedding.

——This child can stand out, he is really happy to drink a few more glasses of ale, but this child is over 30 and still unmarried. Isn't there really something wrong with it?Really don't need to try it in an official brothel?

As a result, the child he was most worried about became the current prince immediately. Not only did he have a prominent reputation, but he also married the queen and became a well-known couple.

Heidi found a time to talk to Leo about it alone.

"I should accompany you to visit your parents alone."

"Including my mother?" He raised his eyebrows, but did not let go of her hand.

"Including your mother." Heidi calmed down her voice, trying to make him feel stable and peaceful.

Just like what he did to her after she witnessed the murder.

Give the other party enough sense of security and take the other party home.

"Leo, there are many things that cannot be changed." She whispered, "Not only can you not change, but they may not be able to make the right choice when faced with choices."

Insufficient secular education, or suffering from the pressure of life, it is actually difficult for people to get the life they really want.

"They are independent individuals, and the choices they make are only their own thoughts, and they don't really need you." She squeezed his hand tightly, intertwining her fingers, conveying more warmth: "Leo, It is ourselves we should forgive."

"Go and meet them, okay?"

"...Okay." He nodded, staring into her eyes: "I believe in you."

Mr. Piero lives in the city of Florence, and his days have been quite happy in recent years.

Ten years ago, he held a rather good position as a notary. Later, after his son entered the Dongfeng Palace of Ducale, he got promoted and raised his salary all the way, and now he has settled here.

When Heidi and Leo appeared together, he blushed and didn't even know where to put his hands. He gave a big gift in a clumsy and flustered manner, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Heidi only smiled and exchanged a few words with him, explaining that she came to sit with him after marriage.

Piero almost wiped and wiped the stool before letting the two of them sit down.

Da Vinci has seldom communicated with him these years, but now he is not used to it.

They drank a few glasses of ale together, and gradually the old man became a little drunk, and began to reveal the truest thoughts in his heart.

"Leo, he is the child I worry about the most."

"When I first saw you in his yard, I was thinking," the old Piero patted his knee heavily: "This child is finally taken care of—at least I won't starve myself!"

Leonardo froze for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Do you think so?"

"Otherwise, why would I urge you to get married? Just to avoid those neighbors' comments?" Piero knocked on the table again with his fists: "You child, you don't care about anything when you start working, but you just draw and don't concentrate. Sometimes even the paint is on credit.”

"If you live like this for the rest of your life, can you eat and sleep several times a year?"

Leonardo's expression became a little complicated. He refilled his father's glass of wine, lowered his head and murmured, "Then you didn't care about this when you threw me into the manor?"

"The manor?" The old man burped and asked back, "Will your grandpa starve you? If I don't work hard, how can I get money to help you learn and read?"

Heidi smiled and stood up, leaving the father and son to chat for a while.

In the afternoon, Leonardo came out with red eyes.

Piero was always the same--stubborn, stiff, and punitive.

But his perception of his father has changed a lot.

He loves him after all.

On the second day, they drove to Finch together.

Leo's mother, Katerina, is still a peasant woman and doesn't even know what happened to her son.

At first she married a farmer in a hurry, and then gave birth to several children for him. Now she is busy and tired, and her hair has already turned gray.

During these years, Leonardo would regularly send her some money and things, but he would visit her only once in two or three years.

He has nothing to talk to her at all, and he and those half-brothers are like passers-by.

The queue of the queen and the prince was quite grand, so that when they arrived, almost the entire population of Finch Town ran out to watch the excitement, vying to see the true faces of the nobles.

Caterina didn't know that these two were her son and daughter-in-law, and followed her sons to watch the excitement in the crowd.

When Leonardo got off his horse and walked towards her slowly, the old woman showed a bit of sluggishness and stupefaction.

The impatient young man next to him screamed, and more people began to salute one after another, not daring to be slighted.

"Mother," he looked at the old woman and said, "I'm back."

Caterina couldn't compare the child with her past memories at all.

He has grown too much, and his temperament is completely transformed into another person.

When I met him three years ago, he was still like those painters in the city, but now he has become resolute and calm, mature enough to make people feel trustworthy.

The meeting was short but warm enough.

The old woman rejected all the gifts, only willing to live in the old house and continue farming and feeding pigs.

They couldn't talk about anything, Leo didn't know anything about farming, and his mother obviously didn't care about the defense arrangement of the coastline.

But when they left on their way back, Leo held Heidi's hand, looked at the passing scenery and said, "I forgive her."

Forgive myself too.

He has had many secret pains throughout the years.

This pain stems from many things, but mostly it has to do with childhood.

His mother would rather ignore him after giving birth to four children, and his father was unreachable and indifferent. He once thought that he should not be born in this world, and he was not worthy of anyone's love—maybe he was born from It was a mistake in the first place.

Many longings, pains, and obsessions in childhood were repressed and buried in the process of growing up, but they continued to erode his heart.

But now, it seems that everything can be let go.

Heidi leaned on his shoulder, heard the distant sound of horseshoes, and asked, "What did you figure out?"

"When I was a child, I always felt that they were omnipotent." Leo stroked her long hair with a low voice: "I always felt that they were capable of taking good care of me and Should have given me enough love."

But now that he saw their old and tired appearance, he suddenly understood a lot.

Parents are no different from anyone else in the world.

They will all have cowardly or contradictory sides, they will have calluses on their hands because of their livelihood, and they will feel at a loss and helpless about many things.

The treatment he encountered was not because he did anything wrong as a child.

——but they were unable to give him more in the first place.

This sense of powerlessness broke the halo of the two labels of his parents, but it also allowed him to really recognize many things.

"...you are worthy of being loved." She said softly, "You are the best Leonardo."

He laughed and leaned over to kiss her warm lips.

"And you are my salvation, Heidi."

You let me escape many things...and finally forgive myself.

-2-

The Florence Academy has now expanded twice in size.

The first time was when Heidi joined the ranks of scholars, and Lorenzo added a huge amount of sponsorship, which allowed the college to expand several times in size and accommodate more students in the future.

The second time was when Heidi returned to Florence.

Before she left, she gave them the pea field in West City and taught them how to observe and record.

Heidi also sponsored the Florence Academy that year, so that many scholars in Europe began to gather there, and there were even some women among them.

They may be maids who want to take refuge, or noblewomen who are obsessed with natural research.

This college has become more enlightened and diversified due to comprehensive factors, and now it seems to be the center of culture and science in this peninsula.

Many microbiology-related treatises have been published, and they even founded academic newspapers and set up columns for students of different factions to debate fiercely.

The technology of fermentation and medical treatment has been flourishing, and there are several amazing new discoveries almost every year.

And when the lord threw electricity to them, the originally confident scholars fell into a state of doubting life——

what is this?

What is this? ?

Why and why? ?

Although the ratio of the battery is constantly improving, the wise researchers came to a conclusion after a long meeting and submitted the report to the queen with trepidation.

"—My lord, the only level of knowledge we have now is not enough to help you prepare what you want. This subject is as vast as the Milky Way, and we are already doing our best to explore it."

The queen, however, was not angry.

All she wants is a sufficiently stable battery, as well as power output and receiving equipment.

That sounds crude - nothing seems to be done with just that, not even powered lighting in a small area.

During this process, Leonardo accepted the commission of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and just as he promised God when he rescued Heidi, he began to paint "The Last Supper".

The wide walls were evenly coated with a layer of plaster, and light and transparent oil paint began to be laid continuously.

The whole painting takes an extremely long time to complete - it may only take one morning for each coloring and painting, but it may take four or five days for them to completely dry.

In rainy weather, it is not uncommon to wait for ten days.

Leonardo Da Vinci was used to painting in the morning and went to Florence to study auxiliary electricity in the afternoon.

When the battery and related content were stable enough, Heidi finally took the time to come over.

"It's not enough," Leonardo obviously blamed himself, "It can only be said to be a kind of existence captured by us, but it's not enough to become the 'energy' you mentioned."

"Enough." She said with a smile.

"What?" He raised his head in surprise, not following his train of thought: "Why?"

"It can already be used for communication."

"It's impossible," Leonardo retorted subconsciously: "Now we can only say that we built a switch, but it...wait?"

His expression became blank, and he murmured after a while: "You are right—it can already be used for communication."

People followed the instructions and found five-meter-long and 50-meter-long copper wires, and they were purified and conducted.

Leonardo stood on the other side of the copper wire and held both ends, while Heidi controlled the switch.

When she flicked the switch, a short current flowed quickly, like a falcon pecking at his palm.

And when she flipped the switch and waited for a second before turning it off, the long electric current stayed in the palm of her hand for a second.

This is true for five meters, and it is also true for 50 meters.

The speed of the electric current far exceeds that of horses and human legs, and it can come and go freely like light.

Immediately after he reacted, Leonardo took a pen and paper and ran towards Heidi, with an unconcealable joy in his expression: "We can use this communication, right?!"

Heidi deliberately wanted to tease him: "There's only one dot and one stroke, how do you communicate?"

"That's enough," Leonardo wrote for her without thinking: "One point, one horizontal line, we can mark it as a."

"One horizontal line, one point, it can be said to be b."

"All the cdefgs in the back can do this—" He raised his head, his amber eyes shone brightly: "We can definitely do this! Create a reliable code book, and then use dots to convey information!"

The young man next to him looked at it for a long time, and saw that the teachers were also looking happy, but he was a little confused: "It's so troublesome, why don't you just talk directly."

"This is already the fastest way to communicate over long distances." The old man Fabio next to him picked an apricot and smashed it directly on the head: "As long as this device is modified properly, communication can be made at five kilometers away, understand? "

More than five kilometers!

Heidi was still immersed in this sudden surprise, and Leonardo began to write quickly again——

"And there is no need to use the human brain to record these." A typewriter-like linkage device began to emerge under his pen, without any inspiration and triggering from her: "Electricity can flow in and out of metal, and metal will be linked with magnets. As long as we can create a device that can be pulled up and down by an electric current to control the two parts that represent stippling..."

"You can let the machine complete the record." The old man clicked his tongue and said, "Just let me do this."

This matter directly triggered heated discussions in many colleges, and some people even laid copper pipes on the first and fourth floors for testing.

The electric current can cross the stairs and the ground effortlessly, and ask and answer with a short touch.

They even got down on the ground to test various devices, trying to hear each other's voices from five floors away.

The development of telegraphs and codes officially began, and some scholars boldly predicted that they would start laying cross-city devices within a year.

People took a lot of interest in this way of representing words with stippling, and called it the da Vinci code.

When Heidi heard the news, she only lowered her head and smiled, with a nostalgic look on her face.

Although the current Italian language has only 21 letters and no jkwxy, it is very similar to Latin.

Even if this kind of password table is spread to other countries, it can be widely circulated and used.

——Many people will sing his name in later generations.

Leonardo was quite enthusiastic about this, but he also showed a regretful expression.

"At least in a few years, Florence and Rome will be interchangeable," he sighed. "But I always feel that this is not enough."

Heidi laughed, put the bouquet she had cut into a glass bottle, and asked, "Is it for energy?"

"You remember that coal mine I mentioned to you?"

They took down La Spezia, known as the city of sin, where the coal reserves were completely beyond people's imagination.

But mining and excavation relying on manpower alone is not enough.

"Let me tell you something good." She smiled and blinked, letting him insert a daffodil on her temple.

"what?"

"Steam engine."

"Steam?" Leonardo laughed. "The thing on the boiler?"

"It's stronger than you think." Heidi took his hand, and the two went to the back kitchen together.

The cook and maids all stood up to salute when they saw the two adults, but she nodded casually and showed him the boiler next to him.

A pot of hot soup has just boiled, and the white mist-like steam is rising slowly with large bursting bubbles.

Leonardo observed its shape, reached out and touched the edge: "It's so hot."

"The point is," she pointed out the core point directly: "It can push things."

The man frowned and thought for a few seconds, then his expression changed suddenly, and he hurried to the laboratory.

Machiavelli, who was eating pizza in the corner, finally got out and tried to express his condemnation: "He just left you and ran away? You have only been married for a few days!"

"It's cute, isn't it?" Heidi smiled.

The boy had incomprehensible writing all over his face, and he went to look for some fruit to eat with food in his mouth.

Da Vinci began to test the propulsion of steam, and the fuel they required.

Before he knew this, he had spent a lot of time designing the 'perpetual motion machine'.

Since this rumor was spread to Europe 200 years ago, it once caused many fanatical thinking.

If it is really possible to build a machine that is endless and can rotate on its own, the whole world will be changed for it.

But at that time he drew a lot of drawings - those drawings she later described as a 'ferriswheel', and eventually became waste paper.

Friction will consume these mechanically transmitted energy, and there is no possibility of perpetual motion.

But in today's device, although the kinetic energy has to pay a price, the price is much better than those in the past.

The steam does have a strong push, but the distance it pushes may not be that much.

Leonardo thought about pushing it back and pushing it back, and the latter continued to push it out——

Press, bounce, press, bounce.

In and out in this way, a power cycle can be formed!

As long as there is enough fuel, as well as the control and solidification of this power, countless new devices will be born!

He thought of the cars and trains she had talked to him about, and the gigantic contraptions of factories that worked day and night.

All of this... is completely possible!

Leonardo plunged into the laboratory and stayed in the Florence Academy for four or five days, forgetting that he had just been married not long ago.

The young and lenient queen began to inspect the drafting and revision of various bills, and occasionally opened a salon with her friends in the Plato Academy to enjoy tenderness and fine wine together.

This kind of love is not as passionate and stalemate as in knightly novels, but it flows like still water.

In the middle of a night, Leonardo hurried back to the bedroom, and finally remembered to go home and sleep.

His queen was already sound asleep, and the quilt was warm and soft.

After changing into his pajamas, he took a deep breath, got under the quilt and approached her.

The formerly distant and perfect existence was actually his wife now.

It's all like an unreal dream.

The two snuggled up to sleep like larks, and they fell into each other's arms without knowing it, and they both smiled faintly while sleeping soundly.

Outside the window, the wind howled endlessly, but it couldn't shake the warmth here.
