Great Tang princess

Chapter 550 Airship Landing
The interior of the airship's cabin is not too luxurious at present, after all, it is just an experimental product.

But there may be room for improvement in the future. Li Yuechen's idea is to lay a solid wood floor, and it is best to have a bar where you can put some drinks or something.

If you still have time to spare, you can even get a few musicians to play music.

It's just that we can wait until the country becomes completely rich in the future. It's not time to enjoy it yet, so this airship can be used obediently as a means of transportation for goods.

The airship rose slowly and reached the top of the clouds in a short while, and the original posture of head up and tail down gradually became smoother.

There is a simple level in the cab, which is just a glass cover filled with water.

Seeing that the level was completely flat, the soldiers in the cab unfastened their seat belts and came to the hall: "Your Highness, the airship has entered a level state, and you can unfasten your seat belts."

"Ok!"

Li Yuechen agreed, and everyone else quickly unfastened their seat belts. From now on, they can walk around in the hall or other places freely.

The first thing the children do, of course, is to immediately run to the window and look down through the transparent pane.

But because it is now above the clouds, everything below is foggy, and it is not very clear, only some major landform features can be seen clearly.

Although the sun has just risen now, because of the height, the light here is much more than that on the ground.

Li Yuechen waved his hand, and Wang Wuqiong next to him immediately took out a pair of sunglasses and handed them over.

Since coming back last year, Li Yuechen asked the glass craftsmen of the Engineering Academy to start researching different colored glasses.

After so long of experiments, amber glass has been produced, such as the red glass in Li Yuechen's hand.

But the cost of this red glass is terribly high, because this red color is obtained by adding gold during the glass making process!
That is to say, the research funding given by Li Yuechen is relatively sufficient, so the craftsmen can afford such expensive experiments.

As for the shape of the sunglasses, it is the kind of toad mirror that will be more popular in the future, which can cover half of the face.

Li Yuechen put on the sunglasses, and his temperament changed instantly. He became more mysterious and noble.

Relatively speaking, the cost of amber sunglasses is relatively low, because only some sulfur is added. Most officers can get a pair as long as they apply.

Li Yuechen's sunglasses, frames and brackets are also gold-plated, which can be said to put the luxury of the royal family in the open, but not so ostentatious.

This was not what she requested, but Wang Gangdan and the others added it without authorization.

After all, I have worked in the gold and silver workshop of the royal family for many years, and I have long been accustomed to the aesthetics of the royal family. Knowing that this thing is made for His Highness, I subconsciously brought over the previous habits.

Li Yuechen didn't say anything, it doesn't matter if she is a dignified princess of a country, she should be extravagant, as long as she doesn't overdo it.

This thing is well decorated, just like those expensive watches in the future, it is difficult to recognize its value without staring at it carefully, it can be regarded as a low-key, luxurious and connotative high-end jewelry.

Children are more interested in the sunglasses themselves.

"Auntie, why are the lenses red?",

"On weekdays, my aunt likes to wear red, with glasses, so red that I can hardly see people clearly..."

Li Longji even asked directly: "Auntie, can I wear it too?"

"Try it in turn." Li Yuechen took off his sunglasses, handed them to the children, and asked them to wear them for a try.

After a while, Xiao He handed over the brewed tea.

In fact, the time on the airship is quite difficult, but it is easy for small children, they are curious about everything, and their body wants to go to the cavity above the cabin.

Li Yuechen nodded in agreement, but told them to listen to the accompanying craftsman's words and listen to his answers attentively. At the same time, they must not walk around or touch them randomly, otherwise they will be dealt with according to military law.

These children spent every day in the military camp, so they naturally understood what the military law meant, so they immediately nodded in agreement.

The children all ran to visit, and the interior of the cabin gradually became quiet. Li Yuechen sat by the window, watching the gradually rising sun, drinking tea while thinking about the next thing.

……

The airship was flying above the clouds, but it didn't attract much attention from the ground.

The wind direction is not bad today, and the speed is faster than expected, but even so, Dadongdu has arrived at Haishi, and the sky has completely darkened.

This afternoon, the hang glider had already arrived in Dongdu, and brought a message from Li Yuechen, saying that he would return by airship today.

Some brothers and sisters who were curious about what this airship was all about were in the palace today, planning to see what new things this airship was.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't go back today either, she played chess with Wu Zetian in Jixian Hall, while her sons and daughters waited on her.

The three Li Xian brothers asked their wives to wait at home, otherwise it would be too troublesome to have to act in the palace.

Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were playing chess, and Li Xian, who was constantly drinking tea, couldn't help it: "Wan'er, do you know when Yuechen will arrive?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "The person who sent the letter only said that His Highness arrived at night, but I don't know the exact time...."

While speaking, he raised his hand and dropped a sunspot on the chessboard.

Wu Zetian stared at the chessboard without turning her head: "Just wait with peace of mind. If you ask me many times in a row, you won't be bothered, but my mother will be bothered by listening."

"My boy, I can't bear the fact that my mother has broken her body..."

"Do you think they are all like you? You get sleepy after being awake for a while?" Li Xian on the side turned his head and began to teach.

Fat people are indeed more likely to get sleepy than thin people, especially Li Xian who doesn't usually pay attention to exercise.

In comparison, Li Dan is better. Although he has gained a lot of weight in middle age, he usually still exercises a little bit, and there are still a lot of muscles under the fat.

Now the youngest of the three brothers is Li Xian, the oldest. He has no fat on his body, has strong muscles, and looks much better than his two younger brothers.

After being taught a lesson by his elder brother, Li Xian didn't dare to talk back, so he could only lower his head helplessly and continue to drink tea.The other two sisters covered their mouths and snickered.

After a while, a cup of tea was filled with boiled water, and he also felt that it was time to go to the bathroom.

Just as he was about to get up, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Everyone looked up, and Zhang Chengxin ran in with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, a huge object suddenly appeared above the sky. I wonder if it is the airship His Highness is on..."

"Why panic? There is nothing else that can fly in the sky except for the artifacts made by Yuechen..."

While talking, Li Xian got up and put on his shoes, planning to go out and have a look.

Wu Zetian nodded: "I have already lost this game of chess, there is no need to continue, I will go and have a look later."

"Yes!"

Shangguan Wan'er agreed, helped her up and walked out, and the other children followed behind, intending to see the difference between the airship and the hang glider.

Walking out of the door, I saw Li Xian standing at the door of Jixian Hall, staring blankly at the sky.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked up, and they all froze in place.

In the dark night sky, under the dots of stars, a huge shuttle-shaped black shadow is slowly enlarging, low at the front and high at the rear, heading straight for the palace like a cannonball!

The nearly 60 meters long airship is extremely conspicuous even in the night sky, especially as the distance approaches, everyone present can feel an invisible sense of oppression.

In fact, people are more or less a bit of giant phobia, such a huge object floating down from the sky, looking really has a great sense of oppression.

Even Wu Zetian, who has always been calm in situations, couldn't help opening his eyes wide, staring in a daze at the huge airship gradually approaching the palace.

Although it was already night, such a huge aircraft appeared in the sky, and it was still discovered by many night owls who were still awake.

In the eastern capital city, the brothel was the first to be discovered, and soon many people came out to stop and watch. While many people knelt down to worship, some people wanted to go home to pack their belongings and run away. After all, no one knew what was going on. what is it.

Afterwards, the officials and dignitaries came to their yards immediately after receiving the news and looked up, looking at the airship that was gradually descending with a horrified expression.

In the city, some people screamed excitedly, some worshiped piously, and some people trembled in fear...

A product that does not belong to this era is slowly descending in the night sky of the Eastern Capital.

……

When he saw the candlelight flickering from inside the cabin, Wu Zetian at the entrance of Jixian Temple recovered his senses and waved to everyone: "Let's go, go to Xuanwu Gate to take a good look. Wan'er, let me know, tonight No matter who enters the palace, they will not be seen!"

"Yes!"

When everyone came to Xuanwumen, they found that the soldiers here seemed to be attracted by the airship slowly descending in the sky. They raised their heads and opened their mouths slightly, staring blankly at the airship that was gradually descending. Didn't even see the emperor coming.

It wasn't until Li Xian coughed twice with a gloomy face that the soldiers defending the city came to their senses. While saluting, they gave themselves two slaps: "Saint forgive me! It's just because this artifact is too shocking, so to discover the presence of the saint..."

"As a soldier, you have received strict training and took it as your duty to defend the imperial city, yet you can even forget about it. You deserve death!" Li Xian cursed sullenly.

You know, this is a very serious matter. After all, as a soldier guarding the imperial city, he shouldn't even see the emperor coming.

"Yes! This subordinate is convicted! Please punish the saint!"

Wu Zetian smiled and looked at Li Xian next to him, "How to punish, let's talk about it when Chen'er comes back."

Li Xian cursed just now, firstly because they were angry because they forgot their duties as soldiers, secondly, why not save them?

At least if he scolded him like this, Wu Zetian, as the emperor, could no longer order killings.

As the emperor, of course she could see what her son meant, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she let Li Yuechen come down to make a decision, which meant that the matter was over.

At least she, the emperor, didn't care about it, and let the army solve it by itself.

Hearing this decision, Li Xian heaved a sigh of relief. These soldiers were trained at a huge price. If my mother ordered to kill people because of this, it would not be worth the loss.

It has to be said that Li Xian's current thinking still has not changed.

Wu Zetian didn't say much anymore, and waved his hands to let them get up without courtesy, and then led everyone up to the city wall.

At this time, the airship has also descended to a height of about 50 meters. At this height, the whole picture of the airship can already be seen clearly.

Everyone on the city wall can see it clearly. This thing looks like a huge shuttle, but there is a fin on the tail side, so you can tell the front and back clearly.

The huge dark yellow airship landed slowly on the open space in front of the Xuanwu Gate. Although the road was wide enough, when the airship landed completely, it still felt insignificant in comparison.

Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, the candlelight in the cabin became more and more bright.

As the cabin door opened, a group of children ran down first, talking about how tired they were after staying in the sky all day.

Then came the female soldiers who were in charge of protecting them. Although they knew this was the Xuanwu Gate, they still surrounded the children very vigilantly after they came down.

Afterwards, the figures of Li Yuechen and Wang Wuqiong appeared in everyone's sight. Seeing a row of figures on the city wall, she raised her head and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "Aniang, I'm back!"

Li Xian and the others couldn't wait to run down from the city wall. They ignored Li Yuechen's greetings, and ran to the side of the airship, looking at this behemoth in surprise.

Then Wu Zetian came out from the Xuanwu Gate accompanied by Shangguan Wan'er, and Li Yuechen hurriedly said hello: "Mother!"

"Hmm... this is the airship you mentioned?" Wu Zetian raised his head, and his usually calm eyes also showed wonder, looking up and down non-stop.

Afterwards, without saying hello, he walked directly into the cabin, wanting to go in and see what it looked like inside.

Li Xian and the others naturally did the same, they followed behind and wanted to go in and have a look.

"Auntie, it's getting late, the lights are dark inside, and you can't see clearly. How about taking Auntie to visit tomorrow?" Li Yuechen held back his curious mother.

Now the interior of the cabin is full of black holes. As the emperor, at such an advanced age, it would be a great sin if they bumped into each other.

Wu Zetian saw that the inside was really dark, and he probably wouldn't be able to see anything if he went in, so he nodded, "Okay then."

Although I really want to know some data of this thing, but since it is all placed here, such a big thing, I am not afraid that I will run away by myself.

So Li Yuechen took his mother and a few brothers back to the palace to chat, but was stopped by the captain of the Xuanwumen guard: "This subordinate wants to plead guilty to His Highness, just now..."

The captain was straightforward, telling the whole story of his dereliction of duty just now.

After listening to Li Yuechen, he was silent for a while, and then he said: "This is a major dereliction of duty! But considering that this is the first time you have seen this thing, it is understandable. Five days of confinement, three months of military pay! Let's not be an example!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"
