Chapter 305 Chaochao Wants to Raise a Giant Panda
Who knew that in such a short time, it not only restarted, but its energy level also skyrocketed like a rocket.

From an extremely difficult initial one thousand, to ten thousand, and then to one hundred thousand.

In just over six months, it has already reached 350,000, a number it never dared to imagine before.

Chaochao is only six years old now. When she turns sixteen or twenty-six, that will be an astronomical number.

Ah Shan couldn't help but swallow hard when he thought about this. This was the first time he had ever bound himself to a host, and a child at that.

Ah Shan chuckled to himself, "Chao Chao, let's work hard together from now on and try to accumulate as much energy as possible."

Chaochao nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will try my best."

With these 300,000+ energy points, Yi Hai Yi Tong was full of confidence and became even more motivated.

After that, Chaochao continued to attend kindergarten, and she was still only free on weekends.

However, with the college entrance examination just around the corner, Jian Yunsang is now so busy that she can't even find time on weekends. Therefore, it is usually He Nanzhou who takes Chaochao to the surrounding areas.

Of course, they visited various museums the most.

There are quite a few museums in Jiangcheng. Last time I visited the Agricultural Tools Museum, the people of Daqi witnessed the development of agricultural tools in later generations.

Now, thanks to the vigorous development efforts of the imperial court, many places have adopted new agricultural tools, and the efficiency of both plowing and irrigation is much better than before.

I've heard that farmers in many places are already preparing to reclaim wasteland. Those with quick minds know that the imperial court has sent troops out to sea to find high-yield grains. Once these grains are brought back and promoted, they will definitely need a lot of land.

With the agricultural implements museum as a foundation, the people of Daqi are very much looking forward to visiting the museum.

Because they had just experienced a flood, He Nanzhou took Chaochao to the Water Conservancy Museum as their first stop.

The museum is magnificent and has many exhibition areas, ranging from the origin and history of water conservancy to the innovative application of modern water conservancy technology, recording the glorious history of water management of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years.

There are also a wealth of exhibits, including some ancient water conservancy tools, such as ancient waterwheels and canal models, which give the people of Daqi a sense of familiarity.

Of course, for Emperor Jingxuan, the most important thing was the major water conservancy projects from ancient times to the present, which were later explained by the narrators.

In ancient times, there was the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, a damless water diversion system pioneered by Li Bing and his son. There were also numerous other water conservancy projects, large and small, such as the Grand Canal, the Zheng Guo Canal, the Ling Canal, and the Karez irrigation system, all of which played a significant role in the course of history.

Emperor Jingxuan and his officials were aware of these things.

Like their grand opening, the ongoing water conservancy project is the 'Nanwang Water Diversion Hub'.

But that wasn't enough; they wanted to know more about future water conservancy projects and how they would solve water management and water use problems.

Then, they heard explanations and demonstrations of the 'Three Gorges Dam' and the 'South-to-North Water Diversion Project'.

Take the Three Gorges Dam, for example. The Water Conservancy Museum provides a very detailed explanation, using numerous physical models and data displays to detail the dam's construction history, technical challenges, and ultimate breakthroughs. Chaochao and his friends could clearly see the grand blueprint of this project, and with the guide's explanations, they seemed to personally experience the difficulties encountered during the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and the determination and wisdom to overcome them.

Chaochao listened with great enthusiasm, while Emperor Jingxuan watched with delight, his breathing quickening.

He took a deep breath. "Good, good, good!" They may not be able to build a Three Gorges Dam like the ones of later generations, but that doesn't matter. They have the blueprints and the models. They are practically standing on the shoulders of giants. They have already come this far. They believe that they will be able to conquer such a great project soon.

Emperor Jingxuan instructed the relevant officials to quickly make a note of it, and then they could start thinking about how to construct it.

After visiting the Water Conservancy Museum, the following weekend, He Nanzhou took Chaochao to the Knife, Scissors and Sword Museum to learn about the development and history of light industry.

Next, we visited the silk and umbrella museums to learn about the long-standing intangible cultural heritage.

Of course, it also helped more Daqi craftspeople find their direction, enabling them and their families to live better and better lives with their talent and skills.

Afterwards, they visited the Ceramic Art Museum, where they saw all kinds of porcelain and crafts and learned about modern ceramic technology.

After visiting several museums, the people of Daqi benefited greatly.

After that, He Nanzhou wanted to take a break. Whether it was the Chao Dynasty or the people of Daqi, they needed to digest all the information after visiting so many museums.

Perfect timing! With the college entrance exams over this week, Jian Yunsang, who had been so busy she was practically giving up, could finally take a breather.

After resting at home for two days, Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou decided to take Chaochao to the wildlife park.

Chaochao had just returned from Daqi not long ago. They originally planned to take the little girl there, but various things kept delaying it. Now they were finally able to take her for a visit.

The people of Daqi were very much looking forward to it. The word "wild" in the name of the wildlife park inevitably made them think of those ferocious beasts.

It's clear that Jian Yunsang's calm and collected demeanor doesn't seem so scary after all.

Chaochao was all excited and ready to leave early in the morning. Song Zhen looked at her with amusement and asked, "What animal does Chaochao most want to see?"

"Giant panda." Chaochao had seen photos and videos of giant pandas, and she thought they were so cute, chubby and able to understand human speech.

So when she arrived at the wildlife park, her first destination was the panda enclosure.

Upon finally seeing the giant panda she had been longing to see, the little girl was so excited she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.

Many people in Daqi were also charmed, especially when they saw the little bundle of creature nimbly climbing up a tree, sitting on a branch, pretending to be aloof while its feet swayed back and forth. They wished they could just hug it and hold it in their arms.

Emperor Jingxuan's lips twitched slightly as he looked at it. "This is... a Mengshi beast, isn't it?"

So this is the giant panda that Chaochao and Yuanyuan were talking about?

Emperor Jingxuan had seen pictures of giant pandas through Chaochao's perspective, but the pictures were in the form of animation, which he wasn't interested in, so he only glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them.

Now that I've seen the real thing, I truly understand that the incredibly cute animal they were talking about is actually the Mengshi Beast described in the book.

He remembered that the Mengshi beast, also known as the tapir, resembled a bear with a small head and black and white markings. It could lick copper, iron, and bamboo bones and came from Shu County, but very few people had ever seen it.

This bear-like beast, licking copper and iron, is actually trying to be cute with the tourists?!
Emperor Jingxuan found it hard to believe, but Chaochao's heart was melting. She asked Jian Yunsang, "Mom, can I raise one?"
