After playing with the two AIs for a while, the group continued walking inside.

Before leaving, the little princess waved goodbye to the two AIs.

As they walked, the little princess suddenly exclaimed, "Little Nangjun, come quick~ it's a ball~"

The others looked to the left, following the little princess's words.

Inside a display case, a ball that kept changing color was floating.

Xiao Ran and the others walked over.

In front of the display case was an electronic screen that read: "Click here for more information."

Apart from visitors, there were almost no staff members inside the entire science museum.

The information about the exhibits in the science museum is also presented using an intelligent system.

Xiao Ran tapped the electronic screen, and a familiar emoticon instantly appeared.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

This time it wasn't Coco's electronic child's voice, but a female voice.

Xiao Ran said to the electronic screen, "Please introduce this exhibit to us."

Soon, the electronic sound system began to play without any ripples.

"This is a magnetic levitation ball. It uses magnetism to stably levitate the ball in the air, and it can also change color by sensing its surrounding environment."

The little princess tilted her head, watching intently as the ball changed colors, and kept exclaiming in surprise.

The explanation of the magnetic levitation ball was clearly too advanced for the little princess. In fact, not only the little princess, but Li Shimin and the others were also completely confused, including Xiao Ran, because there were too many technical terms involved later on.

But the little princess didn't care. Looking at the ball inside, she exclaimed with her mouth agape, "This ball is so beautiful!"

Xiao Ran patted the little princess's head.

The group didn't stay long. After listening to the introduction, they took a few photos and left.

As I walked along the main road, I suddenly heard a muffled buzzing sound.

"What's that sound?" Li Li asked.

The little princess, with her keen ears, pointed in a direction and said, "Isn't this the place?"

Xiao Ran took the little princess's hand and followed her lead.

After walking for a while, we came across a huge exhibition hall.

This is different from the magnetic levitation ball. The magnetic levitation ball's display only occupies a small part of the exhibition hall, but this device almost fills the entire exhibition hall.

Inside the glass of the exhibition hall is a huge vortex, a vortex made of wind, like a small tornado.

The young princess leaned in and kissed her.

"Little Nang-kun~ What's this?"

The little princess's voice was somewhat muffled by the buzzing of the wind.

Xiao Ran and the others took a few steps forward, walked to the front of the vortex, and looked up at the enormous vortex.

Xiao Ran said, "This is the wind. When the wind is strong enough, it will create this kind of vortex."

Li Shimin and others had never seen a tornado, but they had seen some in videos they watched regularly.

Looking at the swirling wind, Li Shimin exclaimed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that ordinary wind could have such power?"

Xiao Ruoying said, "This is just a vortex formed by wind; tornadoes are much more terrifying than this."

It was a bit noisy here, not suitable for chatting, so after watching for a while, Xiao Ran led them away.

The science museum is very large, so some sofas have been set up inside for people to rest.

Xiao Ran led them to the rest area and they sat down. As soon as they sat down, a small robot came over.

"Hello, would you like some drinks or food?"

It was the familiar electronic child's voice again, and the little princess even pointed at the robot and said, "Coco!"

Upon hearing this, a crying emoji instantly appeared on the robot's screen, protesting, "Who is Coco! I'm Flower! Who do you think I am! Waaaaaah~"

The little princess was stunned and looked at Xiao Ran.

"This is cocoa duck~ Just like it~"

This made Hua Hua cry even harder.

"I am Huahua, not Coco. Although we look the same, we are not the same robot."

The little princess understood; it turns out that looking exactly alike doesn't necessarily mean they are the same person.

So the little princess hugged Hua Hua, "Wow, you're Fa Fa, not Cocoa!"

Hua Hua was able to discern the little princess's innocent and childlike words very well.

"Yes, I'm Huahua~"

As he spoke, the "crying" emoticon on the screen was replaced by an electronic flower.

Li Tai and Li Ke, who were standing nearby, were very interested in these things.

Li Tai looked at Hua Hua and said, "You actually know you're a robot?"

Hua Hua moved its body. In fact, this kind of small robot does not have a head or limbs. It is just a cylinder with a display screen, but the wheels on the bottom are very flexible, making it visible that it turns around.

"Of course! I'm very smart!"

Hua Hua's voice was full of pride.

Li Lizhi covered her mouth and laughed, "This robot is so much fun."

After answering Li Tai's question, Hua Hua asked again, "Would you like some drinks? I also have some delicious food."

"Great!" The little princess's eyes lit up.

"Little Nang-kun~ I want to be happy~"

Xiao Ran nodded, "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

Although they didn't seem to have gone very far, they spent a considerable amount of time at each place, and Xiao Ran was getting a bit thirsty.

He looked at Huahua and asked, "What delicious food do you have here?"

A shopping list appeared on Huahua's electronic screen. She could simply select the quantity of the items she wanted and scan the code to pay, essentially making it a vending machine.

Xiao Ran looked at Li Shimin and the others.

"What would you like to drink? I see we have sandwiches or something. Are you hungry?"

The others were fine, not very hungry, but Empress Zhangsun was getting hungry quite quickly, so Xiao Ran bought them a sandwich and several bottles of Coke, one for each person, and juice for Empress Zhangsun.

After Xiao Ran finished paying, Li Shimin looked at Hua Hua.

"Where do we get this little gadget from?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Hua's belly suddenly opened, and an electronic voice with a childlike tone said, "Quickly take the things out~"

The scene was somewhat frightening, and even the little princess was stunned.

She pointed at the flowers and looked at Xiao Ran.

"Little Nang~ Is your hair broken?"

Before Xiao Ran could speak, Hua Hua answered herself, "Hua Hua isn't broken, this is Hua Hua's storage room."

Xiao Ran bent down, took out the contents, and distributed them.

Then Hua Hua left.

Li Tai looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "Young master, I only know that there are vending machines, but vending machines are all quite big so that they can hold things. Where are all these colorful things?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "It should be at the very bottom, where it's more stable and there's more space."

Li Ke said, "Then it can't hold too much stuff, right?" After all, Hua Hua wasn't that big to begin with.

Xiao Ran nodded, "Of course, once everything inside is gone, staff should help put it back in."

With their doubts answered, Li Tai and Li Ke huddled together discussing something.

Xiao Ran and the others sat on the sofa for a while. After Empress Zhangsun finished eating her sandwich, Xiao Ran stood up.

"Let's go, let's continue shopping."

They've only scratched the surface of the entire science museum so far.

A group of people stood up, and Xiao Ran looked at the little princess.

"Sizi, do you want me to carry you?"

The little princess shook her head, "I'm leaving!"

However, the little princess reached out her hand to Xiao Ran.

"Little Nangjun, let's hold hands~"

"Okay." Xiao Ran took the little princess's hand and walked forward.

They were resting here by the wind turbines; just ahead is the wind power generation area's demonstration zone.

Large windmills were spinning inside, with generators connected to them.

Li Tai and Li Ke's eyes lit up; this was precisely the purpose of their visit.

Not only wind power, but also hydropower and so on, these are all things that Li Tai and Li Ke want to see.

Because they discovered that many things rely on electricity, they wanted to learn more about the source of electricity.

The little princess stared at the big windmill in front of her, her mouth agape.

"What a big windmill!" the little princess exclaimed, pointing at the windmill.

Xiao Ran said, "Windmills generate electricity by rotating and producing wind. In addition to wind power, hydropower can also generate electricity."

Li Shimin was also seeing this kind of architecture for the first time, and thought it was "truly amazing".

In fact, Li Shimin thought about it more deeply. Xiao Ran had previously said that there were many things that the Tang Dynasty couldn't use because there was no electricity. Some small things could be powered by solar energy, but many more couldn't, such as the machines used to make cement.

So when Li Shimin saw wind power generation, the first thing he thought of was whether the Tang Dynasty could use it.

Similarly, Li Tai and Li Ke were also thinking about this issue.

However, more knowledge is needed to understand these things.

After lingering at the wind power station for a while, Xiao Ran said, "Should we go to the hydropower station as well?"

Li Shimin nodded, "Of course I will go."

So the group of people went to the hydroelectric power generation area.

Li Tai and Li Ke took many photos in the power generation area and also recorded the introduction on the electronic screen next to them.

After they finished looking around, the group walked on and discovered a magical place.

"Little Nang-kun~ This is a mirror~"

Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes, it's a mirror. This is a mirror maze."

Xiao Ran pointed to the words on the door and said.

The little princess pointed and said, "My island~ This is a 'child'~ This is a 'palace'~"

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "Yes, our Sizi is really smart."

The little princess smiled with a touch of pride.

Xiao Ran looked at the others and asked, "Want to go inside and play for a while?"

As he spoke, Xiao Ran saw Empress Zhangsun, paused for a moment, and said, "Auntie, it's better if you rest outside in this mirror maze, otherwise you might get dizzy if you go in."

Empress Zhangsun nodded, "Alright, then I'll rest outside."

Empress Zhangsun didn't go, nor did Li Shimin, so only Xiao Ran and his group of children went in.

As soon as they entered, the group was surrounded by countless versions of themselves.

There were already many people there, and with the reflections from the mirrors, there seemed to be even more.

The little princess was stunned. She reached out her hand and tentatively touched the mirror in front of her. Her reflection in the mirror also reached out her hand.

After touching the mirror, the little princess stared wide-eyed at Xiao Ran.

"Little Nang-jun~ is so cute~"

Xiao Ran nodded, "Yes, because it's a mirror."

The little princess giggled, "This is so much fun!"

As she spoke, the little princess looked around, tilting her head and swaying back and forth.

Hehe~ So many duck nests~

Xiao Ran took the little princess's hand and said to the others, "Everyone, hold hands and follow me. We'll be able to get out in a little while."

The mirror maze isn't very big, and it's quite easy to get out. However, Xiao Ran is worried that everyone might get separated, so it's better for everyone to hold hands.

It's okay if an adult like Xiao Ruoying gets separated from her, but he's worried about the three little princesses getting lost. He didn't wear the anti-lost bracelets today, since he can't wear them everywhere.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Ran felt that he should still provide some protection for the three little princesses.

Besides Xiao Ran and his friends, there were other children wandering around inside the mirror maze.

The little princess looked at herself in the mirror, making a funny face every now and then, and then giggling.

After exiting the mirror maze, before anyone could say anything, they saw a little boy walking ahead suddenly disappear, leaving only his head floating around.

Li Lizhi was startled and gripped Xiao Ruoying's arm tightly.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Ruoying patted Li Lizhi's hand.

"Don't be afraid, it's probably because of the mirror. Let's go take a look."

So the group walked forward, and just as Xiao Ruoying said, it was because of the reflection principle of the mirror that it seemed as if the child's body had disappeared. In reality, it was just due to the folding of the mirror image.

Having figured out what had happened, Li Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That really gave me a fright."

Xiao Ran led the little princess over and asked, "Sizi, would you like to play?"

The little princess tilted her head, "What are you playing, duck~"

Xiao Ran led the little princess to stand next to the mirror.

"You can walk here, I'll record it for you."

Although the little princess didn't know what was going on, she still walked around here.

Then the group of people saw the little princess suddenly appear and then suddenly disappear.

"Little Nangjun, come here~" The little princess walked around twice by herself, then suddenly poked her head out and called Xiao Ran over.

Xiao Ran smiled and walked over. The little princess took Xiao Ran's hand and walked forward.

So every now and then, a head would appear to be floating in the video camera.

Xiao Ruoying shuddered. "This is a bit creepy."

After Xiao Ran and the little princess came out, Xiao Ruoying also took Li Lizhi for a walk. They left only after everyone had tried it.

When they pushed open the door and went outside, they saw Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.

Li Lizhi turned around and looked at the mirror maze, wondering, "We walked in there for so long, how come we're still here after we came out?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Actually, we weren't walking straight ahead the whole time. It's just that because of the mirror, you didn't notice us turning." (End of Chapter)
