Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 995 Airship
What?

I'm afraid only Liu Mu can see what it is at a glance.

Seeing the smug smile on Liu Mu's face, Li Shimin suddenly felt very angry.

"What?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Second brother, go this way."

Liu Mu took Li Shimin to a house on the hillside. This is Liu Mu's house, which is usually not used by anyone, but some important information will be stored here.

Not in the house, but behind the bookshelf next to the mountain, there is a passage, which is connected to a cave.

All data are kept in the cave.

After entering the cave, Liu Mu took out a model about one foot and five inches long: "Second brother, this thing is just a trial at the moment, I estimate that it will take five years to build it, and it will take at least seven years for it to be really usable. "

"What is it?" Li Shimin couldn't understand the model in Liu Mu's hand at all.

"Toy!"

"Toys!!!" Li Shimin shouted.

The eldest grandson Wugou also laughed at the side, how could there be toys in Huayuan restricted area, the annual research funding here is astronomical.

Liu Mu held up the model: "According to my opinion, many people spent two years designing it. It is estimated that after it is built, it can carry about [-] stones, and the flying height is about [-] feet. The flying speed at full speed should be every One thousand six hundred miles per hour, the cruising speed should be around one thousand miles per hour."

"What did you just say?" Li Shimin suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked a special question: "Flying?"

"That's right, it's flying. This is an object that can fly in the air for a long time. At that time, I can accompany Lan Ruo to travel around the Tang Dynasty. It only takes half a day from Chang'an to Hangzhou, and it takes only one day to fly to Kagoshima in Fusang." , it might be a bit difficult to fly to Luzon, but you can replenish it in Guangzhou City..."

Liu Mu was still making his travel plan, Li Shimin grabbed the model from Liu Mu's hand and held it carefully.

"Can you reach Fusang in one day? If you take off from Laizhou and carry [-] incendiary bombs, one attack can turn the Goguryeo royal city into ashes. A large incendiary bomb for a catapult weighs only six catties, hahaha !” Li Shimin raised his pen to the sky.

"Second brother, is this a weapon of war? The first one is only for experiments. The full version of Sky Fortress can fly to Rome in one go, which will help us communicate with the Mediterranean culture."

"It's a joke, such a sharp weapon is naturally the country's most important weapon." Li Shimin held the model cheerfully and didn't know what was going on in his head. He was probably already considering deploying the Ministry of War to make Sky Fortress the ultimate guardian weapon of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Mu also sat aside: "Sister-in-law, as you can see, Brother Huang first thinks of turning all objects into war supplies, and this object is indeed..."

"For war." Dugu Lanruo interrupted Liu Mu's words.

Without waiting for Liumu to refute, Dugu Lanruo said to the eldest grandson Wugou: "My family wrote a book called All-weather Mechanized Warfare by Sea, Land and Air. The ultimate war weapon is not coal, but kerosene seeped from the ground. The iron ox is not used for plowing the fields, but is equipped with a general cannon for charging on land."

Liu Mu laughed and scolded: "Are you...are I my mother-in-law? This betrayed me."

The eldest grandson Wugou hid his face and smiled: "Don't talk about Lan Ruo, you don't have to think about it for yourself. You have been away from home for two years. It can be said that you have been provoking war every month. Going forward, since your second brother didn't ascend the throne, you You are constantly going to war with the outside world, and if you say that the objects you research, probably only incense washes have nothing to do with war."

Li Shimin interrupted and said: "No, incense washes are actually a by-product of another item. The glycerin gunpowder that Huayuan gave to the Ministry of War is actually a variant of incense washes. This is what the three first-level alchemists of Qinghe Temple said. , is an unscented scented wash that can be transformed into a powerful explosive with a few ingenious tricks."

Willow did not refute, because soap can indeed become a bomb, and there is more than one way.

Li Shimin said again: "I, the second brother, want Lan Ruo to say something. Lan Ruo is your wife, but first of all, she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty. Also, there are no outsiders here. Don't put on an air in front of your own family. You must say that gunpowder is used for fireworks, and the second brother admitted it back then, but it would be boring to say that now.”

Liu Mu put away his smile: "Second brother, any kind of object. For example, a knife can be used as a tool for carving, cutting vegetables, or going to war. Tools depend on how people use them. My attitude is still the same. Tang has never studied any objects used in war, but because of the war, he happened to use some things."

After thinking for a moment, Li Shimin nodded slightly: "It makes sense."

Dugu Lanruo didn't understand: "Isn't it very hypocritical to do this? It's obviously used to kill people, why bother to say it so honestly."

"No!" Li Shimin and Liu Mu said in unison.

Li Shimin explained: "Second brother also misunderstood before, but now that I think about it, I am right. Datang is a country that loves peace and loves the people. We will not resort to war."

Liu Mu added: "Of course, as a kingdom of heaven, we see the sufferings of the people of small states. As a kingdom of heaven, Datang is obliged to benefit the people of the world. The tribal leaders and nobles of the Six Edicts, they Squeeze ordinary people, enslave the people, and drive the people to become bandits and thieves regardless of the kindness of the people, then Datang will attack Liuzhao for the states around Liuzhao, as well as the people in the southwest of Tang Dynasty, and the innocent people of Liuzhao noble."

"This……"

Dugu Lanruo became dumb in an instant. She had been married to Liu Mu for ten years, but she never thought that there would be such a theory.

If another person spoke out, Dugu Lanruo would definitely scold hypocrisy.

But Zhangsun Wugou lightly clapped his hands: "The speech is good, the speech is wonderful, those dull old officials in the Ministry of Rites are not flexible at all."

Li Shimin just laughed.

"Then, what is this?" Changsun Wugou asked, pointing to the model.

"This real name is an airship. The huge upper part is actually empty. It contains hydrogen gas, which is divided into thousands of small airbags. What is uncertain at the moment is whether the upper part designed and manufactured by Huayuan can pull the air. Lifting a heavy box, so this research is very difficult and expensive.”

Liu Mu introduced some simple knowledge of the airship to the three of them.

Then Liu Mu said: "Second brother, as I said, this is not a tool for war. Of course, when the airship is needed to go to the battlefield, its power is terrifying, especially when only our Datang conquered the sky, other small Bang was still learning how to row a boat."
