Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"I'm not sure, but this seems to be a specialty of astronomy? It seems that Dean Guo Shoujing is also involved and has been appointed by His Majesty as the director of the Great Yan Time Management Bureau. However, no matter how it is calculated, we in Great Yan have time, which will be much more convenient in the future."

"Who said it wasn't? Time is really important. Now there is time at night. No matter what you do, at least there is a time and a reference.
"That's right. Apart from anything else, I heard that cinemas have begun to strictly enforce the time of each show. It is clearly marked, and we can decide for ourselves which show we want to watch. It is much better than the previous rotation of shows one by one, fearing that we might miss it, and not knowing when our show is, so we can only wait somewhere. Time has alleviated the anxiety of many things for us ordinary people."

"Yeah, time. I didn't care about it before. I worked from sunrise to sunset, but now, I can't do without time. Sometimes I have to work the next day, but because I don't have time, I don't know when I will have to wait until the next morning. When I find out, I don't have time to rest. I can only bite the bullet and do other things. With time, everything is clear."

"For the time being, this clock is hung in front of the city gate, the imperial city gate, and on several notices. I heard that in a few days, this clock will be put on the market. Hahahaha, I will definitely buy one when the time comes."

"..."

The people around were discussing it enthusiastically.

Ji Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Pei Ji and others understood the function of this thing after listening to the words of the people around them.

This thing is called a clock!
And what this thing represents is time!
Li Shimin swallowed hard, his breathing quickened, his eyes bursting.

hiss!
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, staring at the second hand that was ticking slowly, and felt it was unbelievable, too incredible.

Emperor Da Yan, how did you come up with this?

time!

From now on, this world will truly have the concept of time.

Indeed, this forced Li Shimin to admit that time was really too important for Dayan.

"My God, the Great Yan Emperor actually solved such a difficult problem without making any noise!"

"He, he actually divided the time!"

"A day... Twenty-four hours, one hour and sixty minutes, one minute and sixty seconds, that's a day."

"With this reference, all kinds of things will undergo qualitative changes. These numbers will affect a person's life."

"Boss, when I look at that second hand, I feel that our lives are slowly slipping away."

“I really didn’t have this feeling before.”

Fang Xuanling's voice was trembling, with excitement, agitation, urgency and sadness that came from the sudden acquisition of a sense of time.

time!

For the first time, they saw the passage of time!
They also felt for the first time that this was the length of their lives.

prior to,

Without time, without clocks, without second hands, sunrise and sunset, it is really difficult for them to feel the changes.

But now, it's different.

The second hand,
With every movement, they knew that this was the passing of their lives.

"Incredible, incredible."

"This idea is really terrifying."

"Moreover, the Great Yan Emperor can actually do it."

Li Jing swallowed his saliva, his expression solemn and extremely shocked.

"Why...why do I feel a sudden sense of urgency?"

"I suddenly, I suddenly want to go study."

Pei Ji pursed his cracked lips and said in a low voice.

No one blinked.

They were still staring at the huge clock.

Just as they and countless people were watching, it was 6:20 when the time came.

Subconsciously, Li Shimin moved his stiff neck and turned his head to look at the sunset.

It was at this time that the sunset moved.

The orange-red disk that was originally all outside suddenly sank into the sea level.

Although there was only a slight glimmer, it also meant that the sun was really beginning to set.

"Oh my god, your majesty is really right, oh my god, your majesty is amazing, your majesty is really amazing!"

"How is this calculated? Your Majesty, this is too horrible. No, I have to go to the Astronomy Academy to ask tomorrow."

"It's going down the mountain, it's going down the mountain, hahaha, look, look, the sun has really gone down, your majesty is amazing, your majesty is amazing, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

"..."

Countless people were all in excitement.

Of course, it was not just outside the gate of Dayan City, but also inside the city that endless roars erupted.

at the same time.

Six twenty!

Gudong…

Li Shimin swallowed again. His mind was in a mess. His brain was blank. Apart from question marks, he had no other thoughts.

How did the Great Yan Emperor do it?
In the chaos, Li Shimin didn't know how he walked into the Xia capital.

Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others followed Zhou

They also couldn't understand. They couldn't understand all of this.

Just now, they were all shocked by Dayan’s industrial production capacity, but now, clocks are all in their minds.

……

Inn!

Li Shimin sat there in a daze.

The waiter brought dinner and placed it on the long table.

Everyone sat down around the long table, all eyes on Li Shimin.

After returning from the gate of Xiadu, Li Shishu just sat there blankly, saying nothing, as if he had turned into a stone.

"Your Majesty, please eat something."

"I've been busy all afternoon."

"I must be hungry."

Fang Xuanling spoke softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We can't figure out the reason for the clock. Your Majesty, let's eat first and have a good rest after dinner. Otherwise, let's go to the Academy of Astronomy tomorrow and ask the teachers there for advice." Pei Ji agreed.

"Your Majesty, the Academy of Astronomy will definitely be very lively tomorrow. The teachers there may hold open classes to answer questions for the people of Dayan." Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please eat something first."

"Yes, Your Majesty, filling your stomach is the first priority. Let's not think about the rest. We can't figure it out anyway."

"The pharmacist is right, Your Majesty. Let's go to the Astronomy Academy tomorrow. I believe we will find the answer."

"..."

Others also offered their comfort.

Li Shimin's eyes trembled, he sighed slowly, and picked up the chopsticks.

"Let's eat."

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow."

Li Shimin started eating.

Naturally, everyone else started eating too.

After wandering around Dayan New District for a whole day, although they had lunch, they were all very hungry.

After dinner,
After drinking some more tea, he lay down on the bed.

Li Shimin opened his eyes and stared blankly at the moonlight.…
I don’t know how much time passed before I fell into a daze and fell asleep.

In the next two days, they could be said to be running around Yanyun City, eagerly absorbing all kinds of new experiences and knowledge.

They went to the Astronomy Institute.

As Li Jing expected, the School of Astronomy took on the responsibility of popularizing the science of time, such as time zones, the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, the equator, sunset times and so on.

Although they were confused by what they heard, Li Shimin and the others knew a little bit.

Then, I visited some shops in Yanyun City, and participated in the court publicity meeting, tax law publicity meeting, criminal law publicity meeting held by the Executive Government, and even participated in a military interest meeting, etc. Unknowingly, tomorrow is the day when the Dayan fighter jet will take off for the first time.

Li Shimin was sitting in the tea stall, he looked up at the clock not far in front of him, it was four thirty, it was almost night.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said to Empress Changsun, "Guanyin, we may go there very early tomorrow. I heard that the airport is not very close to Yanyun City."

"If you want to stay with us, I'm afraid you'll have to get up earlier."

"If you don't come early, you may not be able to find us. Tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of people, huge crowds."

"I heard that now, many people are sitting there waiting."

"Look...are you coming with us, or..."

Li Shimin asked softly.

Fang Xuanling, Pei Ji, Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others were also around and all looked at Empress Changsun.

indeed!

Tomorrow is the first flight!

The first flight they had been looking forward to for days was finally coming.

There is no need to look or think. Tomorrow the area around the airport will be packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. I am afraid that it can even block a flood.

If we don't go in together, it will be very difficult to be together later.

"I'd rather stay with you, Your Majesty."

"I'll go back and rest now. Commander Li, if you can come pick me up when the time comes."

Empress Changsun said.

She had already determined this matter.

"it is good!"

"In that case, Li Junxian, go ahead and send the queen back now."

"Go to bed early. It's about 4:30 now. Guanyinbi, you can come down around 3:30. You can meet us at about 4 o'clock. Then, we will go to the airport together!"

Li Shimin thought for a moment and said.

Empress Changsun nodded: "Okay!"

Suddenly, Empress Chang Sun smiled again: "I didn't expect that it would be so convenient now that I have time. If it was before, it would be really difficult to make an appointment."

Empress Changsun sighed.

Everyone was stunned, but soon burst into laughter.

Indeed it is!

How many days has it been? Two days, but before they knew it, they had gotten used to it.

Hall No. 1, of course, also has a clock.

Empress Changsun passed away.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and rubbed the teacup gently with his fingers. He looked up and gazed at the sky.

clear blue.

It's almost November.

The weather was much colder than before, and now, they all felt a slight chill.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, which seems to be the standard for the beginning of winter. The occasional eagle flying by makes the scene seem even more lonely.

Winter!
Another year!
"Tomorrow, I really don't know what Dayan's fighter plane will look like."

"Emperor Da Yan, what kind of surprise and shock are you going to give us?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"I can't imagine it." Fang Xuanling shook his head and took a sip of his tea. "I heard that the Emperor of Great Yan will personally pilot the fighter plane tomorrow."

"Humph, you love to show off!"

"It goes without saying. How could he miss such a thing?"

Pei Ji snorted.

"That's not the case." Wei Zheng pursed his lips and scratched his head: "I heard that... now in Da Yan, apart from the Emperor of Da Yan, no one else can fly a plane."

"After all, this fighter jet was designed by the Great Yan Emperor."

Pei Ji finished the tea in his hand in one gulp and stopped talking.

"There are a lot fewer people in the city than before."

"I guess they all went to the airport to guard it."

Li Jing looked at the main road of Yanyun Palace and guessed: "Your Majesty, should we..."

Li Shimin shook his head: "No need."

"Come on, let's go get some rest."

"Plane, fighter jet, they have to fly, they have to fly, they are in the sky, where can you not see them? There is no need to stand so close."

Having said that, Li Shimin stood up.

Everyone hurriedly followed.

They all looked up at the sky.

Still blue!

Still vast!

Still lonely!

Still boundless!

but,
Tomorrow, this vast blue sky will truly welcome their first guest.

……

Aircraft manufacturing plant.
The fighter jet was majestically parked here, covered with a huge red cloth.

Li Kuan stood in front of him, breathing, and couldn't help but feel a little excited, his pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes became deep.

Xin Qiji, Guo Shoujing, Heshen and others were all by his side.

"Your Majesty, all functions have reached their optimal state."

"Everything has been debugged and everything is qualified."

"Tomorrow, your majesty, just wait for tomorrow's takeoff."

"Fighter plane, our Da Yan's earliest fighter plane, now waiting for its mission is to take off."

Chen Qingzhi's voice was hoarse.

There were bloodshot in those eyes, and the dark circles around them were even darker.

During this period of time, all his time, energy, and efforts were devoted to this fighter jet.

Now, it's finally time to hand in the paper.

It’s like a child you have raised for a long time is finally going to the battlefield.

"But, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, tomorrow's maiden flight will definitely be dangerous. How about letting me do it? I have confidence in it. I built the fighter jet under my watchful eyes. Even if I die, I am willing to die on it."

"Besides, Your Majesty, it's so high and so fast. If something unexpected happens to this thing, there will be absolutely no chance of escape."

"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too risky for you to go out in person?"

Chen Qingzhi pursed his lips, turned his head, looked at Li Kuan solemnly, and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what Lao Yue said makes sense." Heshen also quickly agreed.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better for you to sit on the command platform and watch tomorrow."

"First flight, first flight, huh... first flight. Although, although we have full confidence in the aircraft manufacturer, this thing will eventually fly into the sky, not on the ground. What if..."

Xin Qiji immediately followed suit.
