Great Tang princess

Chapter 616 Training at sea
After Liu Zihe came over, Li Yuechen arranged a classroom for them, and changed the names of the two ships while doing the final training.

The new ship had been built and launched years ago, but this time they went on a long voyage, Li Yuechen decided to let them use the old Baidizi.

Because the old ship has sailing experience, it is sure that there is no problem. Although the new ship has been launched, it has never sailed far, so in order to prevent any problems, let them use the old ship.

Of course, the name Baidizi should be put on the new ship, only the old ship, the writing on both sides has been changed to "Great Zhou Empire".

Of course, Li Xian was in charge of writing the handwriting. Speaking of which, he has no other skills, but this cursive handwriting is really superb, and it is currently recognized by the court as the first master of cursive script.

Shangguan Wan'er's calligraphy is also quite good, but she tends to write in cursive, while Li Xian is in regular script, each with its own beauty.

When Liu Zihe just got off the boat, he saw two boats not far from the pier. The craftsmen on the boat were in charge of enlarging the font and painting it on the sides of the boat.

After getting off the pier, Liu Zihe trotted all the way to Li Yuechen: "This subordinate has met His Highness!"

"Excuse me!" Li Yuechen raised his hand to help, and grinned: "It's getting darker now."

Liu Zihe also laughed: "Your Highness doesn't know, Zhenzhou's sun is scorching, and he works in the fields all day, all of them are tanned. But the mother-in-law at home is quite white."

This is true. In a place like Hainan, as long as people don’t bask in the sun, it’s easy for people to turn white. After all, it’s equivalent to staying in a sauna every day...

"Speaking of which, this time around, I have a surprise for you to see!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Come on!"

Curious, Liu Zihe agreed, and followed her into the backyard of the barracks.

When he came to the backyard, he basically knew the so-called surprise in his heart.

Sure enough, when he saw the bright colors in the transparent glass greenhouse, a smile appeared on his face: "Congratulations, Your Highness, it seems that the experiment was very successful."

"This batch of seeds was planted years ago, and they have blossomed and bear fruit until now. The greenhouse experiment is considered a success."

Li Yuechen asked someone to open the door while talking, and led him inside.

As soon as you enter the interior, you will feel a gust of warm air rushing towards your face, forming a sharp two-level contrast with the cold and humid wind outside.

The interior of the greenhouse is full of vitality, which forms a sharp contrast with the unmelted snow outside.

When Li Yuechen went back for the new year, the soldiers who saw this scene embraced each other and cheered excitedly. In the future, they will be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter.

At this moment, Liu Zihe thought the same way: "Your Highness, doesn't this mean that in the future winter will also..."

"Well, but the cost is higher." Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows.

As far as the current situation is concerned, although the experiment is indeed a success, such a large cost will inevitably lead to high prices of winter vegetables and fruits, which ordinary people still cannot afford.

But the cost is not only the glass greenhouse, but also the problem of vegetable production.

If the yield of vegetables and fruits can be increased through artificial cultivation, winter vegetables will not be too expensive.

The advancement of science and technology comes little by little, and it cannot be expected to be achieved overnight, so for now, the winter fruits and vegetables can only be enjoyed by dignitaries.

When the output increases and the price drops, then ordinary people will be able to afford it.

Liu Zihe squatted down and looked at the juicy vegetable leaves, got up and said: "Speaking of which, His Highness once said that if the experiment in this greenhouse is successful, then..."

"Well, the production of chickens, ducks and poultry can also be increased." Li Yuechen nodded.

Now that the greenhouse is successful, the preconditions of the incubator should be fine, and we can start making it next.

It's just that the incubation room is definitely not as easy as the greenhouse, and the temperature control needs to be extremely precise. In this age without thermometers, all Li Yuechen can think of is to use the staff of the farm to test the temperature.

It is indeed possible to detect the temperature of human flesh. She once had the honor to visit a brewery in Shaoxing. The owner is a 27-year-old young man who inherited the craft of brewing from his ancestors.

At that time, Li Yuechen watched him insert his palm into the rice vat and said the temperature was 33.6.

Li Yuechen, who was a little unbelieving, took a thermometer and inserted it to see, and it was exactly right.

When I was in junior high school, a classmate who played well was a vegetable seller at home. I went to visit him on weekends and saw her mother's ability to catch it with my own eyes.

No matter what it is, if you take it and weigh it in your hand, you will know how many catties it is, and if you look at it on the scale, it is accurate.

There are also some who have practiced piano since childhood, and can accurately hear the difference in tone and timbre with their eyes closed...

These examples are enough to show that human skills are definitely not inferior to machines at the extreme, but the only problem is that not everyone can master this skill. Some people have been drinking for a lifetime, but they can't tell the difference between Wuliangye and Jiannanchun.

And Li Yuechen wants to be an incubator, just to see if he can cultivate such talents in the farm to control the temperature of the incubator, trying to get close to the temperature of hens incubating eggs.

In this way, as long as the hatching rate can be controlled above [-]%, the cost of chicken, duck and poultry can be greatly reduced in the future, and it will become the most affordable meat for ordinary people.

If the temperature can be controlled well, it can also make an incubator for human babies.

Now that the medical school in Dongdu has been established and classes have officially started, if the incubator project can be completed, the survival rate of newborns will increase a lot in the future, which will greatly help the country's population increase.

The biggest problem facing the country now is that the territory is large enough, but the population is too small, so the population problem will be an important development plan for a long time to come.

After the two walked out of the shed, they chatted all the way to the playground outside the barracks. At this time, two teams were taking advantage of today's break to play football.

The football field here is quite complete, the ground is covered with sand from the sea, the scene is also painted with white paint, and there is a goal net... It is almost the same configuration as the future football field.

The players currently playing on the field are the Royal team captained by Li Longji, and the recruit team led by Izumi Xiancheng.

It's been more than ten days since they've been here, and their freshness hasn't completely passed away. The entertainment in football, which was changed from Cuju, naturally aroused their interest.

It happened that the royal children were also feeling bored, so the two sides started kicking on the field.

When they saw Li Yuechen coming, they wanted to say hello, but they saw her wave her hand, so they saluted from a distance, and then continued to kick.

Li Yuechen was sitting in the stands, Liu Zihe was standing beside him respectfully, and the personal maid Xiaodong was on the other side.

"Speaking of which, Zhenzhou also lacks some entertainment activities, I don't know..."

"It's best if they want to play." Li Yuechen nodded, expressing that he understood what he meant, "Actually, I plan to form more teams and build a stadium in Dongdu in a few years. They will play once a year. not interesting?"

With the current level of construction, football stadiums can indeed be achieved. Of course, it is impossible to build a stadium that can accommodate 10 people in the future, but it is indeed possible to build a stadium that can accommodate about 1 people with four stands.

After all, with concrete now, it is still possible to make such a large building.

"That's a good relationship," Liu Zihe smiled. "Now that His Highness has such a magical vehicle as an airship, teams from all over the world compete with each other. It should be very interesting to imagine!"

In the process of chatting between the two, the competition here became more and more heated.

Quan Xiancheng and the others have only just come into contact with football. How can they be the opponents of the royal children who have been playing for a long time?
Central defender Li Chongrun made a big long pass and went straight to the frontcourt.

Li Longji, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly jumped when the opponent was defended by three people. He jumped up high, his forehead hit his head, and he sent the flying football into the opponent's goal frame accurately.

"color!"

A group of royal children behind raised their hands and applauded, and Liu Zihe followed suit.

Because the rules of football are simple, even people who don't understand can understand it, and it is easy to get excited with the running players on the field.

After the two chatted for a while, Li Yuechen arranged for Liu Zihe to go and get acquainted with the crew who were about to go to sea first, and set off after a few days of training.

Then I went to the Engineering Academy and asked them to make a hairpin for me.

The main reason is that it is a little troublesome to use a hairpin to wrap your hair, so Li Yuechen thought that in the future, when wearing military uniforms, you can use hairpins to hold your head behind your head, which is practical and elegant, simple and beautiful.

This kind of thing is simply easy for today's engineering academy, and it doesn't need a craftsman to do it, just leave it to the apprentices below to do it.

But as soon as they heard that the princess wanted to use it, the craftsmen headed by Wang Gangdan immediately gathered together and began to divide the work.

The things that the princess mainly uses cannot be random, whether in terms of practicality or aesthetics, they must be top-notch, so these craftsmen have devoted all their attention to dealing with them.

Three days later, the hair clip was finished. It was mainly made of bamboo, with a layer of lacquer on the outside, and a circle of small jade stones. Like stars, the green and white ones were arranged alternately, shining very regularly. .

Li Yuechen tried it again, and put most of the hair behind his head, leaving a very chic slanted bang in front, which can block the right cheek from the side, but it will not block the view from the front, which is quite good.

Compared with wearing a hairpin on the head, this hairstyle will look better in military uniform.

……

Two days later, Liu Zihe's exhaustion from traveling and traveling was almost relieved, so he brought the crew who will go to sea together in the future to the classroom to receive the final training.

On the podium, Li Yuechen hung a rough world map drawn by himself on the wall behind him, and explained to them while gesturing with a wooden stick.

Of course, this world map is definitely inaccurate, and she can't remember such details, so she can only give a rough idea. In order to make them understand, a globe was placed on the podium as an aid.

"Okay, first of all you need to know, here is my Great Zhou, here is Silla, and here is Japan... that is, the country of Wa."

Li Yuechen took the wooden stick and gave them a rough gesture: "This way, this is Tubo, the Western Regions. After going out here, it will be Dashi... Such a large area is collectively called Asia!"

As she spoke, she wrote "Asia" on the blackboard behind.

"Okay, look here now. This side is collectively called America! It is divided into North America and South America. The place you are going to this time is South America!" Li Yuechen drew a circle in South America.

Liu Zihe suddenly said: "Your Highness, looking at this map, it seems that this place is not smaller than my big week. Since it is also a place with a large land and abundant resources, will it be easy to find that kind of seeds?"

"Although the place is large, the land must not have been civilized at this time, and artificial planting techniques should not have been developed. Most of the crops should still belong to wild species."

Li Yuechen explained, and then gave them a rough drawing of the general appearance and appearance description of various crops, so that they could identify them by themselves when they arrived, and bring them back if they were not sure.

But Liu Zihe and the others were taking notes below with a pen and paper, so that they could be compared later.

"Between Asia and America, this ocean is called the Pacific Ocean. You need to cross it..."

The people below nodded: "This sea area is named after His Highness's title, as it should be!"

The others also nodded, thinking that the name was well chosen, and even discussed with each other that the name should be longer.

"Eh...the Pacific Ocean is not that peaceful..."

Li Yuechen froze for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, it doesn't matter anymore, it doesn't matter.

It is nothing more than that when scholars of later generations investigate, they may find that the name of the Pacific Ocean actually comes from Princess Taiping, which is a bit funny to think about.

"Okay, the most important thing is here!"

She clapped her hands, drew everyone's attention back, and pointed on the map with a wooden stick: "There is a large island group here, mainly composed of four islands, named Xiawei... let's call it the Li Yuechen Islands, it doesn't matter ! This island is located in the center of the Pacific Ocean, when the time comes, you can wait for the shore supply.”

Liu Zihe opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness is taboo, how can we call it? Why not call it Princess Island..."

"Whatever!" Li Yuechen interrupted him and continued to explain, "But you have to understand that this island is formed by a volcano, and it is an active volcano. If the volcano erupts at that time, you must not approach it!"

In order to prevent them from knowing what a volcanic eruption is, Li Yuechen also gave them a rough explanation on the spot.

Fortunately, this thing is very recognizable, anyway, if you find something abnormal, don't go there.

"In addition, it is not known whether there are people in this palace on this island at this time. When you wait to land on the island, you must be very careful to prevent being attacked... When the time comes, record the details of this island and come back and let me know. !"

The reason why Li Yuechen gave this order is because this place is too important, and it may not be reflected now, but in the future high-tech era, having such a place in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the advantage is needless to say.

It would be a pity to let go of such an excellent location, so Li Yuechen planned to take this opportunity to hold this place firmly in his hands.
