Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 240 The world is shocked! Airplane caused it! A historic scene!

The next day.

When going to court, everyone was surprised to find Cao Wei's figure again.

For this rare visitor, everyone showed their enthusiasm and gathered around Cao Wei in the blink of an eye, very warmly.

In addition, it can be clearly seen that Lan Yu's situation is much better than before the attack on Ottoman. There are several generals standing around him, ranging in age.

After going through all these twists and turns, Lan Yu had completely lost the energy of being the boss and my second child, and stood there quietly with her hands folded, looking at Cao Wei with a smile, and then cupped her hands.

Cao Wei nodded towards him.

"Master Cao, if you have any happy events coming to court this time, you might as well tell me and others." A minister from the Ministry of Revenue said to Cao Wei with a wink.

"Yes, whenever Grand Master Cao makes a move, it will make people jaw-dropping. This time Grand Master Cao comes to the palace again, which whets our appetite."

Cao Wei smiled slightly and said, "You are serious. It's just a small invention developed by me and a few of my students. It won't be a big deal. I will report to His Majesty in the palace soon, and you will know."

After listening, everyone thought that what Cao Wei said was true. Even a capable person like Cao Wei is just a human being. He can build steam engines, trains, wireless telegraph machines, generators and other objects, which is already called a genius. It's a miracle. How can a person create miracles every time?

However, everyone still cared about Cao Wei's face. Even so, they were still complimenting Cao Wei.

"Master Cao, the aircraft developed by your scientific research institute this time is also used for flying in the sky, and the huge sky lantern built by the Ministry of Industry before, so what's the difference?"

When the officials in the palace heard Cao Wei's words, they couldn't help but think of the huge sky lantern from before.

Everyone turned their attention to Cao Wei again, and saw him speaking unhurriedly:

Then, Cao Wei's voice resounded throughout the hall. To be honest, at this time in the morning, most people were still not conscious at all. After all, they had just gotten up to go to work. Some even secretly covered their mouths and yawned, but Cao Wei's words, But it lifted their spirits!

"Your Majesty, the minister and many disciples from the Scientific Research Institute have worked together to successfully build a plane that can carry people into the sky."

Immediately, the door of Fengtian Hall slowly opened, revealing the spacious and magnificent hall inside. Everyone stepped across the threshold and entered the hall one by one.

"Grandmaster Cao, it's not that I and all the beloved ministers don't believe you, it's really that what you said is too unbelievable. It's hard for anything made of steel to fly into the sky."

Soon, it was time to go to court.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," the officials thanked him and straightened up.

What they want to report is nothing more than appropriation, it is not a big deal, and besides, they have already submitted the memorial before.

"It's really unimaginable..."

When Zhu Xiongying, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat down on the dragon chair, all the officials saluted and knelt down and shouted:

"Wei minister, please see Your Majesty!"

"My dear friends, please speak up if you have anything to say," Zhu Xiongying said with a smile. It was obvious that he was in a good mood today.

Everyone listened with open ears. Every time Cao Wei went to court, he would bring out a big news, just like the previous successful development of trains and wireless telegraph machines, and some officials in the palace could help in the development and popularization of these projects. benefit from it.

"Upon—"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and worshiped again, and Hai shouted:

"My lord, I have met the Supreme Emperor."

Today, Cao Wei went to the palace, and the emperor was in a happy mood. The protagonist of the entire palace was Grand Master Cao Wei. How could he steal his limelight? Everyone wisely gave Cao Wei the opportunity to speak.

Due to his declining physical condition in the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang has rarely appeared in public view, but no matter what, he is still the famous Hongwu Emperor.

Cao Wei didn't want to be the first to stand up, but after waiting for no one to say anything, he had no choice but to take a step forward, cupped his hands towards Zhu Xiongying and said:

"Your Majesty, I have a happy occasion."

Zhu Xiongying had already stood up from the dragon throne and ordered the eunuch chief beside him: "Get ready to leave the palace and show off to the scientific research institute."

A loud chant from the eunuch chief came from inside the hall.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Xiongying raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile:

"Hahahahahaha,"

"Oh? What's the happy event?" Although Zhu Xiongying already knew about it, he still cooperated with Cao Wei to keep it secret.

Isn’t it already possible to fly into the sky? How is the aircraft built this time different from that huge sky lantern?

Zhu Xiongying seemed to have read everyone's thoughts and asked the questions in everyone's mind.

"How many people in the world don't know how talented Master Cao is? Even a small invention is enough to shock the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cao Wei, "Cao Wei, what do you think? We don't believe that airplanes can soar freely in the sky like birds, but what you said is conclusive, but it doesn't sound like you're lying. It seems like this scientific research institute, we have to Let’s take a walk.”

airplane?

An old voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the former eunuch chief executive supporting the white-haired Zhu Yuanzhang walking out from one side.

"Yes, people say that all the products produced by Grand Master Cao must be high-quality. There is actually a reason for this."

For this kind of thing, the more officials the better, so they should keep their spirits up, listen to what Cao Wei has invented, and then think about whether they can contribute and get a share of the pie.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, looking so kind and easy-going, as if as he grew older, the murderous aura in him had disappeared, but everyone was still careful. Although the tiger is old, it can still eat people. !

"So, we will wait and see..."

"Flying like a bird, I'm afraid... Master Cao may have exaggerated a bit this time..."

"The aircraft developed by the minister and a group of disciples from the Scientific Research Institute this time is made of steel and can generate its own power to fly. It can soar freely in the sky like a bird. Its flexibility is greatly improved. It can also carry some things and be used in emergencies. The enemy can work wonders.”

However, the ministers who had originally prepared the memorial remained silent.

"No courtesy, stay on your own." Zhu Xiongying said and waved his hand.

As soon as Cao Wei finished speaking, the officials in the palace began to whisper among themselves.

"Made of steel, how can it fly with such weight?"

"No gifts, no gifts, just be free."

Cao Wei remained calm and said:

"I also know that this matter is bizarre. The built aircraft is currently parked at the Research Institute. Your Majesty and your Excellencies only need to go and have a look to know whether it is true or false."

"Although the huge sky lantern built by the former Ministry of Industry can take people up to the sky and see the mountains at a glance, it cannot be moved after going up, let alone controlled independently. The wind will blow in which direction, and if it encounters In bad weather such as strong winds and showers, it will be directly unusable and there are too many disadvantages.”

"Pujia Research Institute——" the eunuch chief shouted, already busy with his work.

Half an hour later, everything was ready and the chief eunuch returned.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Zhu Xiongying supported Zhu Yuanzhang, gave an order, and led everyone out of Fengtian Hall.

The luxurious dragon chariot fleet was parked at the south gate, with long honor guards at the front and back, and soldiers on both sides to clear the way, with great fanfare.

Zhu Xiongying helped Zhu Yuanzhang get on the dragon chariot together. The motorcade drove slowly, with hundreds of officials behind riding horses or walking on two legs.

The procession started from the south gate of the imperial city and had to pass through Fangshi in the south, then the Confucius Temple and the Imperial College. When the people on both sides of the road saw the emperor driving his chariot, they fell to their knees and shouted long live the mountain.

Emperor Zhu Xiongying's grand trip also aroused the curiosity of the people. The last time such a grand trip was when Zhu Xiongying ascended the throne and invited envoys from hundreds of countries to perform a ceremony.

Therefore, the common people were also curious about what His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Xiongying was going to do on this trip. In the early Ming Dynasty, the emperor governed the people with kindness and benevolence. When the common people faced the emperor, they still had a certain right to act independently. The emperor generally would not blame him. So crowds of people followed the emperor's dragon chariot and walked slowly in the direction of the scientific research institute. At the main entrance of the Research Institute, Xie Jin, Yi Qiu and others had already lined up, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

On one side of the entrance of the Research Institute, there is a very eye-catching object, parked quietly, with wings on both sides. Although it looks strange, it is indeed the prototype of a flying bird.

When the officials saw this, they thought this must be the plane.

When the dragon chariot motorcade stopped at the entrance of the Research Institute, Xie Jin and others saluted.

"Common people, please see Your Majesty, please see the Supreme Emperor."

"No courtesy, stay on your own terms." Zhu Xiongying said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard from Master Cao that you have developed a plane that can fly into the sky, so I came to take a look."

After saying that, Zhu Xiongying helped Zhu Yuanzhang slowly get off the dragon chariot and walked straight towards the plane on the runway in front.

From a distance, the plane is not too big, but when it gets closer, people start to worry again. Can such a big iron guy really fly into the sky?

Zhu Yuanzhang touched the plane with his hands, and the cold touch told him that the object in front of him was really made of genuine steel.

"Bang, bang," Zhu Yuanzhang knocked again with his hand, making a muffled sound.

"Hehehe..." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he couldn't understand.

He waved to Cao Wei, and when Cao Wei came over, Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Don't waste time, fly this plane quickly and let us have a look."

"promise!"

Cao Wei nodded in response and said: "Your Majesty, old man, the noise of this plane is a bit loud, you'd better move back."

After leading the two of them to a safe distance, Cao Wei called over Xie Jin and others.

Zhao Lei has had successful flight experience, so he should be the one to take part in this aircraft test flight.

Cao Wei looked at Zhao Lei standing in front of him with his head held high and asked:

"I just finished flying yesterday, and I let you fly again today. How about it? Can your body withstand it?"

Zhao Lei's eyes were bright, he slapped his chest loudly, and said, "Sir, just don't worry!"

"Hahahaha, okay! This test flight is successful. You are all meritorious people. Your Majesty will not fail you. Go ahead."

Everyone got the order and started again the steps they had done yesterday. The first was to put Zhao Lei in an anti-collision suit made of thick soft rubber.

After putting on his clothes, Zhao Lei turned around without hesitation, walked to the plane, and then boarded the plane.

More and more people gathered around to watch the excitement. They looked at the operations of the people in the scientific research institute and were confused.

"What are they doing?"

"It seems like he's trying to make that iron guy fly up."

Suddenly there was a sound of someone sucking in cold air, "How is this possible? That iron thing weighs a thousand pounds at least. How much strength does it take to fly it into the sky?"

"You ask me, how do I know?"

"This scientific research institute was established by Grand Master Cao. Don't you still believe in Grand Master Cao's work?"

"That's right. After all, Grand Master Cao has great magical powers..."

Amid the hustle and bustle, Zhao Lei had successfully climbed into the cockpit and started the plane.

With a sound of "Buzz!", the fan blades on both sides of the plane began to rotate rapidly, and the huge movement caused everyone to scream in surprise!

"It's moving, it's really moving!"

"Don't touch me, I can see it!"

……

The plane began to drive along the runway, and the speed gradually increased. At two miles, the speed had far exceeded that of the steam train. It was as fast as lightning. Everyone was once again amazed!

The plane completed the last mile of the runway and boarded the "springboard". The moment the plane left the "springboard", a miracle happened!

The huge plane made of steel really didn't fall, it just jumped into the sky and soared upwards!

This scene was extremely shocking and impactful. Everyone present widened their eyes, seeing this historic scene in their eyes, and it was deeply imprinted in their hearts. They only felt their scalps numb, as if their scalps were numb. The hair has stood up!

There were at least ten thousand people gathered around the research institute, but at this moment the whole place was completely silent. Only the chirping of startled birds in the distance could be heard. People could even hear their own heartbeats, as if they were about to jump out. chest.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

The plane actually flew!

After a short period of silence, the crowd burst into earth-shattering shouts and cheers.

"It's flying!"

"It's really flying!"

"People can really fly to the sky!"

……

Everyone's eyes were following the plane in the sky, they were excited and incoherent, and their bodies were shaking, as if they had followed the plane and soared to an altitude of more than ten meters...

Zhu Xiongying stared blankly at the planes in the sky, and once again remembered what Cao Wei said to him that year,

"People can fly to Tianshan..."

At this time, he seemed to have returned to the yard in Zhengkan Village, and once again experienced the endless possibilities of technology from Cao Wei!

today! Cao Wei really fulfilled what he said that day. He really built a plane that can take people into the sky!

Although Xie Jin and others had seen planes flying into the sky several times, they, like everyone else, were still staring at the planes in the sky.

This plane was built by them themselves, and they created this miracle!

"This scene is really... If I hear the truth in the morning, I will die in the evening..." Xie Jin murmured.

Zhu Yuanzhang was supported by Zhu Xiongying and looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with tears.

This is the Ming Dynasty that he devoted his entire life to establishing!

today……

This is already the situation...
