Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 324 Flying Hot Air Balloon

Li Tai naturally didn't know what happened in Chang'an, but Li Tai was quite sure about Li Chengqian's gradual change.

After all, as long as Li Chengqian's personality remains unchanged and Li Shimin is as responsible for his education as always, then sooner or later, Li Chengqian will be forced beyond his control.

Because not everyone in this world can accept direct advice from others.

To be honest, don't say that the emperor can easily accept other people's direct advice, even if it is changed by anyone, it will be difficult to listen to the truth.

Not to mention far away, just like the relationship between men and women now, the most common thing girls use is that I don't want you to listen to your reasoning, I want your attitude, and then there is no way to talk about this matter.

The same is true for the emperor, that emperor doesn't know the truth, but all he wants is your minister's position and attitude!

And the reason why Li Shimin became the most favorable competitor for the emperor through the ages is because he can really listen to the truth and is willing to accept the truth.

There are so many emperors up and down, who can completely reason with the ministers except Li Shimin!

Yes, being an emperor and being reasonable seems to be the most natural thing for a person, but when you become an emperor who controls the power of the world, those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, you will really reason with your subjects !
Is Li Yuan reasonable? Liu Wenjing is dead.Is Li Zhi reasonable? Shangguanyi has been sold.

As for the emperors after the Tang Dynasty, who didn't regard themselves as gods, and who really reasoned with the people below!

Even if it is not the Tang Dynasty, looking at the entire feudal era of 2000 years, people like Li Shimin worked hard in the early stage, but in the later stage, did they reason with the people?

Therefore, it is normal for Li Chengqian to be unable to bear the repeated remonstrances from those around him.

Because Li Chengqian is just a normal person, and during his rebellious period, he happened to meet some of the hardest bones under the Zhenguan atmosphere.

Anyway, Li Tai was lying in the bathroom, soaking in warm water, and eating Su Shan with honey spooned by the maid.

If it wasn't for the wine pool and meat forest, Li Tai really wouldn't realize where the coolness is, and it wouldn't be difficult to get it down.

Of course, even now, he looks extravagant.

It's just that if he was in Chang'an, even if Li Shimin didn't break his leg with a cane, he might be impeached to death by the officials.

But if you are in Luoyang now, what's the matter with enjoying it!
But it doesn't matter, Li Tai feels refreshed after taking a bath for half an hour every day.

After washing up, Li Tai returned to Wei Wangfu and started to work.

At this time, Yan Hun, the second son of Yan Lide, sent Li Tai the giant Kongming lantern that Li Tai entrusted Yan Xuansui to process, saying that this thing has been developed and let you have a look at it, King Wei.

Li Tai was very excited to hear this, after all, building a bridge is really too difficult.

Now that I have this thing, not to mention whether it can be given away, but at least it will be much more convenient to deliver goods, especially in many mountainous areas, which can save a lot of trouble.

At this time, Yuan Keshi happened to come to Luoyang. Even though he was living in Luoyang Academy normally, he wanted to say hello to Li Tailai anyway.

And a very important point, Master Yuan Ke also needs to replace Du Chuke to ask if there is any change in the positioning of the Hehuang Valley and how it will develop in the future.

When Li Tai saw Yuan Keshi coming, he took three steps and two steps, and quickly held Yuan Keshi's hand and said,
"Master Ke, just came back from Hehuang, I know you have a lot to say, let me go to see something first."

Master Yuan was in a daze, but he didn't even have the right to refuse Li Tai's enthusiasm, so Li Tai pulled him directly to see Kongming Lantern.

The place where the Kongming lanterns were released was at the Luoyang Agricultural College, mainly because such things are easy to arouse children's interest.

Needless to say, if my teacher can directly rub a Kongming lantern that can ride people, and then fly into the sky.

Even if it is only a few meters away, I am afraid that I will definitely increase my interest in physics by N points in the future.

Another example is that modern times actually appear in space for practical teaching. People who come to the 80s and [-]s must be severely condemned for such a fancy thing. The main reason is that I didn’t have such a good practical experience in class.

Seeing Li Tai approaching, Yan Zhuang looked at Jiang Yuan nervously, and said, "Duke Yuan, you are sure you are safe!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Yan Lang. Since the Northern Qi Dynasty, my family has been studying this flying technique for generations." The craftsman comforted Yan Zhuang, "Now I want to experience the feeling of flying like my ancestors, and I will definitely be safe. !"

Yan Zhuang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and now he looked at Yuan Jiang with a little more respect for his family's inheritance in his eyes, and said, "I have been a famous craftsman since the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the inheritance can be regarded as a great one even today." A family of craftsmen!"

To be honest, for the Yan family, since they are also regarded as heirs of craftsmen, they don't despise these craftsmen very much after all.

Because the Yan family knows very well how difficult it is to inherit this kind of craftsman, but if you are not careful, it is very easy to break the line.

"It's not considered a family of craftsmen, at most it's just a hobby of flying!" Yuan Jiang smiled and said a little shyly.

When Yan Zhuang heard this, not only did he not despise it, but he respected it even more, because in history, it is very normal for a family that likes to play Feitian to have their inheritance broken.

Think about how many people have changed in the history of flying, and how many aristocratic families have joined in.

This Yuan family was able to mix all the way from Northern Qi to Datang without going bankrupt, and the family didn't break down. It wasn't easy!

"Sure enough, this kind of thing still needs to be operated by a family like yours with rich flying experiments!"

Yan Zhuang sighed, "I don't know which Yuan Ming family my ancestor is, can you disclose the name one or two."

Carpenter Yuan said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Report to your lord, the family ancestor Yuan Huangtou."

"Oh~ I have admired him for a long time!" Yan Zhuang looked like he had admired his name for a long time, but he couldn't remember this famous craftsman in his head?
Yuan Jiang looked at Yan Zhuang's admiration for a long time, and knew that the other party had no idea who his ancestor was.

However, Yuan Jiang didn't explain in detail the great achievements of his ancestors, so he just let it go.

Simply put, if someone in this world is responsible for researching aircraft, then someone is responsible for using aircraft.

Gao Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty forced people to jump from a [-]-foot-high platform on a kite made of mats one day. Many people fell to their deaths. He laughed when he saw it. He flew out of the city with the kite and was able to escape.

And this Yuan Huangtou became the creator of the Yuanjiang family, because not only was he not afraid, but he fell in love with this sport, and then he worked hard to become a carpenter. Kites and wooden birds.

No matter how you say it, it is more or less an inheritance, and Yuan Jiang was selected because of his well-made Kongming lanterns.

At this moment, after Li Tai arrived, everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere became serious, because they knew that the most important thing for Li Tai was to do a good job with the Kongming Lantern.

With Li Tai in place, Yuan Jiang stood under the Kongming Lantern woven from bamboo baskets, lit a bonfire, and saw that driven by the heat, the Kongming Lantern really flew up with Yuan Jiang.

But it only flew up about three meters, and there was a thick hemp rope below it to grab the Kongming lantern, so that the Kongming lantern could not continue to fly upwards.

The whole incident didn't even last for half an hour, Yuan Jiang quickly extinguished the fire and let the Kongming lantern fall.

Surrounded by the bright eyes of the students, it is obvious that this method of making people fly directly surprised them.

Even if only one percent of them can fall in love with hot air balloons, and then engage in this profession, so as to promote the development of Datang Technology, in Li Tai's opinion, it is very worthwhile.

After all, compared to the so-called work driven by money interests, the kind of talents who use up every bit of their potential because of interest as the starting point, and can even further develop their potential are real talents.

After landing, Yuan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Yan Zhuang came to Li Tai and said,

"Report to the king of Wei, fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. The Kongming lantern you want to ride people has been made, and I invite the king of Wei to review it."

"Not bad, very good!" Li Tai was amazed at this giant Kongming lantern that was almost like the first model.

To be honest, this thing, even up to now, is just a product of experimentation, and there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practical use.

After all, the continuous delivery of power for less than half a quarter of an hour makes the practical value of this hot air balloon really very low.

In any case, the appearance of this kind of thing is a breakthrough from scratch. Before this thing can carry people, it is at most responsible for reporting or measuring weather, but when this thing can carry people, the value of this thing It's high.

At this time, Master Yuan Ke looked at the scene in front of him and was full of doubts, because he had no idea what the function of this thing was, but simply felt that people could actually fly through this thing, it was really... quite miraculous .

Li Tai had no interest in understanding the structure of this giant Kongming lantern. It was enough for him to make a breakthrough from zero to one.

For the rest, how to apply this thing to industrial fields that need it more is a matter for professionals.

I am not a professional, so naturally I am looking for a professional, and Yuan Keshi is the professional I found.

"Master Ke, what do you think of this thing?" Li Tai looked at Keshi Yuan and said, "Can it be used as a vehicle for traveling in the Hehuang Valley?"

"Ah?" Yuan Keshi couldn't help being dazed when he heard this, feeling that he couldn't catch up with Li Tai's train of thought at all.

This thing...how did it suddenly become a vehicle in the Hehuang Valley? It couldn't fly just because it flew three meters? !

But Li Tai looked at Master Yuan Ke and said, "My idea is this, the main purpose of this thing is to use it for up and down.

In particular, there are many winding mountain roads in the Hehuang Valley. Rather than improving production efficiency, it is better to improve operational efficiency.

Therefore, the efficiency of transporting materials by burning coal in this hot air balloon is always much faster than that of people moving up and down! "

"Wei Wang, your idea is naturally excellent!" Yuan Keshi couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard Li Tai's words, and said,

"But looking at the situation in front of me, this technology hasn't been studied yet, at least it can't control the direction of this thing?!"

"As long as it can go up and down, the control direction can be designed to be controlled on the ground.

For example, two ropes are designed, and then the hot air balloon plus a rope can be tied up and down at the two ends.

It is also possible to directly let the hot air balloon go up and down by manpower. At least it is more convenient than people carrying supplies and walking the road with nine twists and eighteen bends.

At least the place where the Kongming Lantern passes is a straight line! "

Li Tai naturally sold his ideas about hot air balloons in detail.

Because Li Tai knows that this thing is of no practical use in Luoyang now.

But in the Hehuang Valley, where the mountain roads are rugged and terraced fields are planned to be developed in the future, there may be some development potential.

Because Li Tai knows that his own inventions and creations will have the potential for development only when there is a need for them in reality.

If it is purely a rich man's toy, then no matter how advanced this thing is, it is meaningless.

From my own point of view, there are only two directions for the development of this thing. One is the army, which can be regarded as a new type of arms.

But the reality is that Datang's army is number one in the world now, is it really necessary for him to create new troops?
So, it might as well be smashing it on transportation.

After all, as long as people feel less effort, the locals may pass on and improve this skill slowly even for their own convenience.

Not to mention, the animal skins most needed by this hot air balloon are produced in the land around the Hehuang Valley.

What kind of animal skin is most suitable for the skin of this hot air balloon? To be honest, Li Tai doesn't know anyway, and needs to experiment one by one.

Therefore, it is better to throw all the corresponding craftsmen and techniques to Yuan Keshi, and let Yuan Keshi slowly discover them.

Li Tai knew that although his machine was a first-generation machine, he really wanted to put it into use. He was afraid that it would take at least five or six years for the local people to adapt this thing to local conditions and produce corresponding results.

And when the technology of hot air balloons matures, it will be more effective if it is converted from civilian use to military use.

In the future, whether it is investigation or transportation of materials in Tibet, it will be of great help.

There is no way, Li Tai still has confidence in defeating Tubo, but if he wants to destroy Tubo, to be honest, in an era where the average temperature is getting higher and higher, Li Tai's confidence is somewhat insufficient.

Because the Snowy Empire really occupies the right time and place of the entire world, and fighting against it is almost fighting against the world.

And Master Yuan Ke heard Li Tai's use of hot air balloons, and couldn't help but glisten in his eyes.

To be honest, as Master Yuan Ke who was forced by his father to be Li Bing and his son, that really broke his leg.

At least at this moment, no one can feel the help and significance of the hot air balloon to the Hehuang Valley and the protection of his legs better than him, no one else!
