Great Tang princess

Chapter 267 Shocking the Family
When she recognized her daughter through the binoculars, Wu Zetian was beyond surprised.

A pair of big eyes opened wide, completely lost the usual empress demeanor, just like a surprised little girl.

This scene even exceeded her cognition, and it made her brain feel like it was down for a moment.

Li Zhi next to her didn't lose her composure to the point where she was, but judging from his ruddy complexion and slightly rapid breathing, it was obvious that he was also extremely surprised.

"This this……"

Wu Zetian became a little incoherent, turned her head to look at Li Zhi: "How could Chen'er..."

"If I knew, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here and watching at this moment..." Li Zhi smiled, and forced himself to calm down in front of his wife, "Now that I think about it, it seems that a few years ago, Chen'er was still with you Mei Niang made a bet that she would be able to fly to the sky within ten years..."

Of course Wu Zetian also remembered this matter, but she didn't take it seriously at the time, just thought she was joking.

But who would have thought that what he said was true, and now he actually flew into the sky!

This matter was far beyond expectations, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and looked at the figure hovering in the sky with his hands behind his back.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, not the usual father's gratifying smile to his daughter, but a smile that seemed to have no worries and peace of mind.

After the two were silent for a while, Wu Zetian was the first to break the silence: "As soon as this thing comes out, Chen'er has completely stepped into the forefront."

"Meiniang doesn't have to worry, she can handle it by herself." Li Zhi had a relaxed smile on his face, "Being able to make such a fetish, nothing in this world can stop her!"

Li Zhi's ideas make sense in the logic of this era.

Wu Zetian also agreed, nodded and said: "However, how should I tell the world about this? According to Chen'er's temperament, I wouldn't think it was a fairy trick, would I?"

"Hmm... Chen'er will definitely find a way to use it in the army in the future, and it must be impossible to treat it as a Taoism..." Li Zhi nodded and thought.

Now that this thing has been seen by the whole city, it is impossible to hide it, so how to explain it to the officials has become a big problem.

The couple discussed a few words but did not discuss the reason, so they decided to wait for the daughter to come down and ask her about the specific things.

……

Not long after, the two daughters and sons also came to the Hall of Renshou and asked what was going on.

After seeing through the telescope that it was Li Yuechen, their eyes lit up.

For young people, they don't care about the principle behind this. The first thing they think about is whether they can fly up and fly around by themselves.

Let alone them, even Li Zhi thought so in his heart.

As an emperor, what has the whole world not seen?But such things as flying into the sky can only be thought about in the heart.

Now that there is indeed the possibility of going to heaven, naturally there is a huge sense of anticipation in my heart.

The family stood in the courtyard discussing how this thing flew up, while waiting for Li Yuechen to land.

Many eunuchs and ladies in the palace also stopped their work and pointed at the hang glider in the sky.

For a moment, it seemed that the whole Luoyang had stopped functioning, and everyone in the city was observing the shadow in the sky.

……

And Li Yuechen, who was above the sky, was loudly explaining the question she raised to Shangguan Wan'er.

"The height can be increased, but I'm afraid that your cold air will enter your body, so let's stay here!" Li Yuechen explained loudly.

The highest record for hang gliding is 6000 meters, but due to material limitations, Li Yuechen believes that the height should not exceed [-] meters to be safer.

Moreover, the higher the altitude, the colder it gets. There is no high-tech winter clothing in this era, and ordinary people are prone to freezing when they go up.

Besides, if it is too high, you can hardly see anything except clouds.

"Your Highness, how long can we fly?"

"It depends on the situation. If God saves face, it will be fine to fly all day!" Li Yuechen replied.

But then she felt that Shangguan Wan'er's arms were trembling, so she turned her head and asked, "Is it cold?"

"Fortunately, Wan'er can continue to persevere!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.

"If it's windy and cold, it will be a big trouble, let's go down first." Li Yuechen shook his head.

"It's okay, Wan'er can still..."

Li Yuechen interrupted her performance: "Okay, there is still a chance in the future, but if the cold enters the body, it may leave the root cause of the disease in the future."

With that said, he was ready to start landing.

After a rough estimate, it took about half an hour to fly, and it was time to go down slowly.

After all, it's the first time you go to heaven, so don't stay too long, it's better to leave some expectations for the next time.

Li Yuechen didn't dive down directly, but slowly circled and descended around Dongdu, intending to land directly in the palace.

Anyway, my father and mother should have discovered me by now, so I won't let the archer shoot me down.

……

Seeing the glider in the sky begin to land, the family in front of Renshou Hall began to look up expectantly, intending to see what Li Yuechen looked like after he came down, and whether there was any change in the sky.

At the same time, the people of Dongdu also saw the hang glider landing in the direction of the palace, and many people immediately knelt down and worshiped from afar.

Some of the brave ones even planned to take a closer look, but they didn't dare to get too close, so they stopped at the edge of Luoshui.

And many ministers changed their clothes immediately and planned to enter the palace, although they also knew that the emperor might not be willing to see them at this time.

But anyway, give it a try, right?

Li Zhi in the palace also thought of this, and when he saw Li Yuechen started to descend, he waved his hand directly to Zhang Chengxin: "Send someone to guard the gate of the imperial city, I won't see anyone today! Unless there is an urgent military situation, nothing else will happen." I don't care."

"Here!" Zhang Chengxin agreed, and went to do it right away.

Li Yuechen manipulated the hang glider to slowly descend the height. When they fell to a height of several hundred meters, they could clearly see the state of the two of them even without a telescope.

After circling the imperial city twice, Li Yuechen saw a family in front of Renshou Hall and decided to land in front of them.

The square in front of Renshou Hall is enough to be used as a landing site, maybe not enough for novices, but in her opinion there is no problem at all.

Li Yuechen kept pushing and pulling the joystick in his hand, controlling the speed to slowly decrease between the dive and the ascent.

For novices, it is necessary to choose a place such as grass or sand to land, because most novices need to brake after landing.

Because this hang glider has only two wheels on the lower tripod, there is no separate braking system.

Therefore, after landing, the driver's body will rub against the ground for a while to gradually offset the inertia.

However, it was impossible for Li Yuechen to perform chest brakes in front of his family. When the height dropped to tens of meters, he pulled his legs out of the bag, and slowly controlled the hang glider to fall at a constant speed.

At this height, Li Yuechen could already hear the cheers from the third and fourth brothers below.

The two of them came to the square with excited faces and cheered loudly.

"Yuechen, take me up there to have a look!"

"And I!"

Li Yuechen smiled and waved his hands: "Get out of the way first, be careful not to bump into it!"

The two hurriedly stepped aside, fearing that something might go wrong, their father, mother and two sisters also came to the square, waiting to land.

When the height dropped to about ten meters, Li Yuechen completely swung his body down, and then pulled it down with the force of his body weight.

Under Li Yuechen's operation, the hang glider finally landed perfectly on the place he expected.

Taking off the goggles and pulling off the cold mask, Li Yuechen let out a sigh of satisfaction, feeling quite satisfied with his flight.

After helping Shangguan Wan'er out of the bag, Li Zhi and his wife just came over, and Shangguan Wan'er who had just come out of the bag hurriedly saluted.

"Chen'er, what is this? Why can it fly into the sky?" Li Zhi, who was still calm just now, suddenly asked anxiously.

The other people next to him also looked curious, and the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs also stared at the hang glider next to them with a look of surprise.

"I will explain to Grandpa later." Li Yuechen began to disassemble the bones while talking.

This thing is now an oversized kite. If it is not folded first, it will be easily blown away by a gust of wind.

After dismantling the skeleton three times, five times and two times, Li Yuechen folded it up.

Many of the eunuchs nearby were willing to help, but they didn't dare to touch this thing carelessly. If it was damaged, it would be a big trouble.

Li Xian and Li Lun boldly observed from the side, full of questions but didn't know what to ask first.

Father Li Zhi asked: "Chen'er, tell me quickly, what is this thing and why can it fly?"

"This object is called an aircraft, and its main function... I believe that my grandpa and aunt have seen it." Li Yuechen smiled, "It is an object that allows people to fly into the sky."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Wu Zetian and said, "Mother, the bet on the baby has come true, so you won't let the baby get married in the future, right?"

"Okay, okay, don't marry if you don't want to!" Wu Zetian agreed, "Quickly tell me, why can this thing fly?"

"My child knows why it can fly, but I can't explain it." Li Yuechen shook his head, "In short, if the weather conditions are satisfactory, this thing can carry people into the sky. Except for rainy and snowy weather, it can fly most of the time."

Li Xian next to him suddenly said: "Yuechen, why don't you take Auntie up, instead of waiting for a maid?"

"Of course I have to try it first, what if I can't fly?" Li Yuechen asked back, and then told Shangguan Wan'er to go back first, chatting with this group of top class people would easily make her speechless.

After all, it is impossible for these people to care about her feelings.

"Then I can fly now, can I take my parents up to have a look?" Li Lun asked.

Li Zhi next to him also had an expectant expression, waiting for his daughter's answer.

"At most one at a time." Li Yuechen explained while taking off his thick flight suit, "Besides, it's very cold at high altitudes, and it's easy to catch wind and cold when flying up... Grandpa is not in good health, so don't try it lightly..."

Hearing these words, Li Zhi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at his smiling daughter in disbelief, feeling that the whole world was full of malice towards him.

It’s fine if you don’t make it, now you’ve seen the real thing, and you’ve seen your daughter flying in the sky for half an hour, and now you’re telling me that you can’t go to the sky?
Li Zhi became anxious all of a sudden: "It's okay, it's just that I also wear thicker clothes!"

How can there be an emperor now?Looks like a little kid who will do anything to get his favorite toy.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen burst out laughing, of course she was joking too, since it was all done, of course she couldn't fly without taking her dad along.

"Hahahaha... Grandpa, I'm just joking. In the past few days, the Shangyi Bureau has asked the Shangyi Bureau to make flight suits and cold protection masks. I will take Grandpa to have a look in a few days!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Zhi's distorted expression was regained control, and then he nodded: "Your glazed glasses..."

"It's fine to use mine when the time comes, Grandpa won't dislike me." Li Yuechen smiled, "I wear this thing because the sun is glaring at high altitude, and wearing it can relieve a lot."

Then he turned his head and said: "Of course, A Niang and my brothers and sisters will not forget, but whether you can go to heaven or not, you still need to do a test..."

While Li Yuechen was chatting, he called his family members into the hall to chat, but Li Xian and Li Lun kept staring at the folded hang glider, walking in with their heads turned every step of the way.

"Your Highness, how should this fairy artifact be stored?" Zhang Chengxin asked.

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll take it back to the barracks when it's over..."

Back in the hall, the family immediately began to ask about the hang gliding.

"Chen'er, how much does this item cost?" Wu Zetian asked, "Can you make more?"

"The cost is not expensive, but the operation of this thing seems simple, but in fact it requires rigorous training. It is currently impossible to use it in large quantities."

Li Zhi had a regretful expression on his face: "This is really a pity. If there is any need, just ask Chen'er!"

"Grandpa, don't worry, the child will explain if necessary."

"Well, how fast is it?" Li Zhi asked again.

"It's not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day. If the wind direction is good, it can be faster. From here to Chang'an, you can get there in an hour." Li Yuechen replied.

Hearing such an answer, Li Zhi was even more surprised.

From Dongdu to Chang'an, even if it is [-] miles urgently, it will take one and a half to two days.Now the road surface is well integrated, but it will take nearly a day at the fastest.

And this thing only takes an hour!
It is conceivable what kind of speed this speed has reached. It is not an exaggeration to travel thousands of miles a day!
"Doesn't that mean that with this thing, you can travel between Chang'an and Dongdu at any time?" Li Xian turned his head and asked.

"It is true in theory." Li Yuechen nodded, "The most important thing is that it can improve the efficiency of Datang's information transmission..."

Li Yuechen decided to draw a cake for them first, which can be regarded as laying the foundation for his future plans.

At least now that they have made this thing themselves, even if they put forward any policies and suggestions that seem exaggerated to them in the future, they will seriously consider them.

Even in the eyes of some people, the current self is already a fairy, right?
With this natural sense of awe, many things in the future may be implemented better and more efficiently in the middle and lower levels.
