The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2374

Li Yun stood in the splendid palace, facing his father Li Shimin, who was aloof and majestic. He knew that the question in front of him was not just an ordinary inquiry, but also a test, a test of his ability and wisdom. He must answer, and he must answer beautifully.

However, the contradictions and struggles in my heart came like a tide. He was eager to show his talent and let his father see his growth and progress; but at the same time, he was afraid that his answer would disappoint his father and might even lead to punishment. He felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, caught between a rock and a hard place.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic. He told himself that he couldn't just back down, couldn't just give up. He must face this problem and find the answer. So, he opened his eyes again, his gaze becoming firm and deep.

"Yun'er, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Li Yun's pensive look, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.

Li Yun came to his senses and quickly replied: "No, father, I am fine." He did not want Li Shimin to see his inner panic and struggle.

However, Li Shimin seemed not to let him go. He continued: "Come, come and chat with me! I have always had high hopes for you, don't let me down."

Li Yun's heart tightened, knowing that he really couldn't escape this time. He could only bite the bullet and follow Li Shimin's topic and said: "Yes, Father. As for the future development direction of computers, Erchen believes that they will be thinner and thinner. It is even possible that a computer can be as small as a fingernail and have all the functions of a computer. device of."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He was obviously confused and puzzled by Li Yun's answer. In his opinion, how could a behemoth like a computer become so small? This was simply beyond his imagination and understanding.

Li Yun observed Li Shimin's reaction and his heart sank, as if there was a huge stone pressing on his chest. He knew that his words might be ahead of the times, but at the same time he firmly believed that his insights were not groundless. He took a deep breath and tried to explain his point of view in language more relevant to daily life.

He spoke slowly, with a bit of firmness in his voice: "Father, I know that everything I said may seem too whimsical to your perception. However, just imagine, as the wheels of time roll by, Moving forward, technology is advancing rapidly. The shape and size of future computers will undergo earth-shaking changes. They will become as thin as paper and as compact as stones, making it easy for us to carry them around and use them anytime and anywhere. Moreover, such changes will not only make our lives more convenient, but also save a lot of space and resources, opening up more possibilities for the country’s future development.”

Li Shimin frowned as he listened to Li Yun's explanation, obviously having difficulty understanding this concept that was beyond his imagination. He asked doubtfully: "How can something the size of a fingernail become a computer? Isn't this ridiculous? It's really hard for me to understand."

Li Yun knew that for Li Shimin to accept such a concept, more explanations and persuasion were needed. He said patiently: "Father, everything I said is based on the future development of science and technology. The future world will be a world full of miracles. Now, our group is studying these future possibilities. The technologies achieved. Although they seem very advanced and even unbelievable now, Erchen believes that over time, they will become a reality. As for the problem of being driven without electricity, that is. Because we can use the human body’s bioelectricity to generate electricity. This technology is both environmentally friendly and efficient and will bring huge changes to our lives.”

After listening to Li Yun's remarks, Li Shimin fell silent for a while and fell into deep thought. He clearly realized that the prospects for future technological development described by Li Yun were far beyond his current understanding and imagination. The concepts of technology becoming lighter and smaller are undoubtedly a completely new field for him, a battle-hardened emperor.

However, Li Shimin also saw the firmness and belief shining in Li Yun's eyes, which was an eager expectation and firm confidence in the future. This look made Li Shimin have more expectations and curiosity about this young son. He wanted to know how this young man viewed the world.

Finally, Li Shimin asked: "So, in your opinion, will the development of future technology really develop in the direction of the size of a fingernail?" His tone was full of doubts, but at the same time he also revealed a hint of expectation. He hopes to hear more descriptions and insights about the future world from Li Yun.

Hearing this, Li Yun smiled slightly and replied: "I can't say that. I can only say that the development of science and technology in the future will move towards lightweighting and miniaturization. These are things that we could not imagine before, and in the near future, these Everything will appear. It is best not to have anyone intervene in the current group, because too much intervention may make it go astray. "Father, do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned, with a look of confusion on his face. He obviously did not fully understand what Li Yun meant, and he was even less willing to give up his pursuit of the group because of Li Yun's words. He deliberately wanted to control this group and bring it into his sphere of influence, so he was naturally unwilling to give up easily.

Therefore, he said to Li Yun with a straight face: "How do you say this? I don't understand! When you said no one should intervene, doesn't it mean that the group has lost its dominance? What I want is control, not laissez-faire!"

After hearing this, Li Yun understood Li Shimin's persistence and doubts, but he did not give up his views. He knows that too much intervention will only make things complicated and confusing, which will be detrimental to the long-term development of the group. Therefore, he tried to explain his thoughts to Li Shimin in more plain and understandable language: "Father, think about it, if a group has too many leaders, then their opinions and decisions are likely to cause disagreements and conflicts. . In this way, the development of the group will be hindered. If we can give the group enough space and freedom to develop according to its own rules, then it is possible to achieve more amazing achievements. By being completely hands-off and providing guidance and support at the right time, we can enable the group to truly realize its potential.”

But Li Shimin held a different view. He frowned and said with a firm and unquestionable tone: "That's impossible, you think too much."

Li Shimin was not willing to accept Li Yun's views easily. As the king of a country, he is accustomed to controlling everything, and he is always cautious and skeptical about things that are unknown and beyond the scope of his understanding. In his opinion, the speed of technological development may be very fast, but to reach the level of fingernail size is simply a fantasy.

He shook his head and continued: "We still have to start over!" There was an unquestionable determination in his words, as if he wanted to stop the topic here.

Li Yun was not discouraged when he saw this. He knew that his father was a stubborn man and would not change his mind easily. But he still wanted to do his best to explain and convince him. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Since Father thinks what I said is wrong, you can keep your thoughts. I'm just telling you what I think. I got these thoughts from Brother Six. . So, this is the direction of future technological development as I understand it." Li Shimin obviously didn't want to listen to Li Yun's explanation anymore. He interrupted Li Yun and asked: "Okay, let's talk about something else. Okay. Regarding the topic of this computer being able to fit into the size of a fingernail, let’s stop here. Do you have any other ideas?”

Li Yun nodded and replied: "Yes, that is, in the future, we may abandon monitors and move towards virtualization."

After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned, obviously ignorant of this concept. He asked doubtfully: "What is that?"

Li Yun explained patiently: "Father, imagine if we no longer need a physical display to display information, but can directly project the information into our field of vision through some device, as if it were presented in the air Like a virtual screen, we can access information anytime and anywhere without being limited by space and devices. This technology will greatly change the way we live and work.”

After hearing this, Li Shimin felt an indescribable shock in his heart. He closed his eyes and tried to picture in his mind the future world described by Li Yun, a magnificent picture full of countless virtual worlds.

In his imagination, the entire universe seemed to be connected by a huge network, and each node was an independent virtual world. These worlds are like bright stars, shining in the endless void. Some worlds are colorful wonderlands, with clouds and mist lingering, and fairy music floating in the air; some worlds are futuristic cities full of science fiction, with tall buildings and spaceships flying around; and other worlds are the reappearance of ancient civilizations, with monuments everywhere and culture. Brilliant.

People can easily travel through these virtual worlds through special equipment. They can choose the world they like and experience different lives and cultures. In these worlds, they can transform into various characters, interact with virtual characters, complete tasks, and explore the unknown. Each virtual world has its own unique rules and order, and people need to abide by these rules in order to survive and develop in it.

These virtual worlds are more than simple games or entertainment. They provide people with broader space and unlimited possibilities. In the virtual world, people can learn new knowledge and skills, make friends from all over the world, and even participate in virtual economic activities to create their own wealth. These virtual worlds offer people a new way of life in which they can find true happiness and satisfaction.

Li Shimin imagined himself in these virtual worlds. He may practice immortality in a fairyland-like world and pursue immortality; he may pilot a spaceship in a future world and explore the mysteries of the universe; he may also communicate with historical figures in an ancient world and feel the atmosphere of that era. Style. These imaginations made him excited, full of expectations and curiosity about the future.

He opened his eyes and looked at Li Yun, his eyes shining with excitement and anticipation. He asked: "Yun'er, can these virtual worlds really be realized? Can we really live in them?"

Li Yun smiled and nodded, and replied: "Yes, Father. Although the current technology is not yet able to realize such a virtual world, with the continuous advancement and development of technology, I believe it will be possible in the future. By then, We can not only live in the virtual world, but also use these technologies to solve many problems in real life. For example, through simulation and training in the virtual world, we can improve people's skills and quality; through communication and cooperation in the virtual world, We can break down geographical restrictions and promote the spread and exchange of culture.”

After hearing this, Li Shimin's heart became even more full of expectations and longing. He began to imagine a future world full of endless possibilities and opportunities, a wonderful world that he had never imagined. He believed that with the efforts of his descendants, the world would become a better and more wonderful place. At the same time, he also realized that as a generation of emperors, he also had the responsibility to pay attention to and support the development of science and technology and contribute to the future world.

"Is that so?"

Li Shimin continued to meditate, his eyes revealing his yearning and expectations for the future. As a visionary emperor, he knew that the power of science and technology could change the destiny of a country and lead the trend of an era. In his mind, he began to outline a more grand blueprint for the future. It was a world full of intelligence and innovation. The Tang Empire would stand at the top of science and technology and become a leader in leading the world's trends.

He turned to look at Li Yun, his deep eyes shining with firmness and determination. He said: "Yun'er, these virtual worlds you described make my heart surge. These virtual spaces created by highly developed technologies seem to open another door to the unknown world. I have decided to fully support you. , support the ideas and creativity of young talents like you. We must vigorously develop science and technology and make the Tang Empire a technological power and lead the world."

Li Shimin knew that realizing this grand blueprint would require tremendous effort and wisdom. He understands that the development of science and technology is not only the advancement of technology, but also the exploration and challenge of unknown areas. He was determined to push the Tang Empire's scientific and technological undertakings to a new level and make science and technology a powerful engine for national development. , "Yes, Father!" Li Yun said.

Then Li Yun said: "So, if technology is so important now, we should not get involved in Shengtang Group's affairs!"

What he said made Li Shimin unhappy.

"Let's see if there are any other technologies."

Li Shimin didn't take his words seriously at all. But say so.

Li Yun was sweating all over.
