Zhao Chen¡¯s eyes, as well as those of Cheng Yaojin and others, were all looking towards him.
The hot air balloon is useless?
Before Zhao Chen could speak, Cheng Yaojin pointed at his nose and cursed: "Damn you, why is this hot air balloon useless? If this hot air balloon can be placed in the border city and used in war, it will The Tang army can understand the enemy's situation the fastest, do you know?"
Fang Xuanling also nodded: "Yes, hot air balloons can indeed be used as beacons. In this way, border warnings will definitely be more effective."
Zhao Chen smiled: "In addition to being novel, this thing does have an early warning function. In addition to the early warning function, hot air balloons can make people come into contact with the blue sky for the first time, and let people know for the first time that something can fly. Yes, this is the seed. When the time comes, won¡¯t the plane come out?¡±
"Plane? What is that?"
Li Shimin asked curiously.
Zhao Chen gently shook the folding fan: "It is a huge machine that can imitate the flight of birds. It is extremely fast. If there is a plane, it will only take an hour from Chang'an to Jiangnan."
"What?!"
Li Shimin was shocked.
"Furthermore, airplanes can ignore the terrain of high mountains and ridges on the ground. Of course, today's hot-air balloons can also do it. However, if the hot-air balloon encounters strong winds, the landing point will be difficult to control."
While chatting, the two ministers above the hot air balloon were still screaming, full of panic.
"Raise it a little higher."
The craftsmen at the Zhao Manor below had already used anchors to control the rope, and then slowly relaxed it, and the hot air balloon continued to rise.
This hot air balloon is mainly used for viewing and popularization, so naturally it is not too high.
The people around were talking a lot, with excitement and curiosity on their faces. Some people were even eager to try it.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, I will go up and have a look later. How can I miss this overlooking Chang'an from the air?"
Zhao Chen nodded: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, wait until they come down first, and then go up if the wind is not strong."
The hot air balloon descended slowly and soon landed again. The two courtiers who had gone up before came down with pale faces and felt that their legs were weak. As soon as they came down, they knelt on the ground with a pop and cried loudly: "Your Majesty , I thought I would never see you again."
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Two colleagues, what do you mean by this? Could it be that this prince-in-law will harm you? Okay, please go away. Your Majesty is going up."
Li Shimin ignored the two courtiers and got on the hot air balloon directly. Zhao Chen also walked up, and then the hot air balloon slowly rose.
As the hot air balloon rose, Li Shimin felt that the space in front of him suddenly opened up. Looking into the distance, all the continuous buildings in Chang'an were reflected in his eyes!
The entire city of Chang'an is magnificent!
"nice view!"
Li Shimin praised.
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "If you want to have a clairvoyance, you have to go to a higher level. Your Majesty, you can only see far if you stand high."
"Good poem."
Li Shimin laughed loudly. As the hot air balloon rose, he felt a sense of relief in his chest. The feeling of climbing high and looking far away was indeed completely different.
After waiting for a while, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and stood with his hands behind his hands: "This thing can indeed be used in war."
"More than just, Your Majesty, it is used for surveying, observation and making maps. There are also some dangerous places, such as cliffs, where hot air balloons can be used to fly there. It can actually be used as a means of transportation and is distributed to the army. So, can some natural hazards still be called natural hazards?"
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Mr. Zhao, this thing has wonderful uses!¡±
Zhao Chen smiled.
"Mr. Zhao, I really look forward to what else you can invent."
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I haven't mentioned in this morning's court meeting. How do you plan to deal with Tang Jun's matter?"
"Mr. Zhao, of course Tang Jun has meritorious service. Once he directs Luoyang to quell the disaster, he can enter the Zhongshu Province."
Zhao Chen nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, in addition to Luoyang, Shaanzhou Hebei County, Heyang, Baisima Ban and other places also need to pay attention. It is best to complete the relocation of people before September."
Li Shimin knew what it meant as soon as he heard it: "Mr. Zhao, do you mean that floods will also happen here?"
Before Zhao Chen could speak, Li Shimin said: "That's right, it is estimated that this autumn will be the flood season. Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will issue an imperial edict."
Zhao Chen leaned over and took a look. The figure below was already like a black dot.Sample.
"Okay, Your Majesty, go down and wait until the hot air balloon scenic spot is established. You can come up again next time."
"good."
¡¡
Soon, the news that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty personally boarded the hot air balloon spread quickly throughout Chang'an!
The "Chang'an Daily" and "Chang'an Evening News" on the second day both reported this incident, and the people in Chang'an were also talking about it after dinner.
"Have you heard that even His Majesty has boarded a hot air balloon?"
"It seems that the hot air balloon will be established as a scenic spot soon, and then everyone can board it and have a look."
"The Prince Consort is really amazing. He can make balls like this floating in the air."
The people were chatting, and the hot air balloon became the focus of Chang'an.
At the same time, the hot-air balloon production line continues to expand, and the scale of the entire hot-air balloon factory is also expanding. At that time, the newly produced hot-air balloons will be given priority to form a hot-air balloon team, mainly by the Zhao family's servants. Conduct training.
With the exception of hot air balloons, the previous research and development of modern gunpowder was progressing slowly, but it was still progressing steadily.
At the same time, Goguryeo.
The king of Goguryeo at this moment is considered the penultimate king, named King Yeongliu Gao Jianwu. He is sitting on the throne, tapping the armrest with his fingers.
"My dear friends, Xue Yantuo has sent envoys here to discuss the alliance. What do you think?"
There were courtiers who came out below: "King, Xue Yantuo is determined to betray the Tang Dynasty. Now he is just testing and preparing. Tian Khan's sense of smell has always been sharp, there is no way he will not notice it."
The King of Goguryeo looked at him: "Then shall we sell Xue Yantuo to the Tang Dynasty? No, I will not do such a thing!"
Another minister came out: "King, the Tang Dynasty invited the World Expo before. Although a business alliance was formed, I believe that the ambition of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably embezzle our country. I agree with privately forming an alliance with Xue Yantuo. With Xue Yantuo and our country, we can indeed Compete with the Tang Dynasty."
The third person said: "If the Khitan can be brought in, even the Tang Dynasty will not be able to prove it."
The King of Goguryeo nodded lightly: "I also agree. The Tang Dynasty is so powerful, which makes me feel uneasy. In this case, I have told the envoy of Xue Yantuo that we will form an alliance with him."
On the other side, Yamato.
Yamato, the royal family.
Sun Li's face has been polished into a dark and resolute look, his eyes are calm, but with a murderous aura.
"Mr. Sun, in that case, we have reached an agreement."
Prince Shotoku in front has a smile on his face.
Sun Li nodded: "We have reached an agreement. We will help you deal with the local families who besieged the royal family. After that, we will order me to be canonized and give me a piece of land." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
