Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

After coming out of the Shipping Bureau, Li Yuanji was the only one left.

Zheng Yangping was in a hurry to continue manufacturing warships, and was determined to develop better battleships.

Liu Rengui was concentrating on the Leizhou and Guangzhou ships. He was eager to drive these two warships out and then confront Li Er's navy.

After coming out, Li Yuanji wanted to go back and have a rest. He had been busy since he came back this time, but he changed his mind and walked towards the research institute again.

"I am the King of Qi, but my life is really hard. I don't have any time to rest."

Li Yuanji sighed. As the development became faster and faster and his fiefdom became larger and larger, Li Yuanji could clearly feel that there were more and more things to do.

Without thinking about it anymore, Li Yuanji came to the research institute mainly to see whether there had been any breakthrough in the electromagnetic induction principle technology he had learned before the Western Expedition.

Li Yuanji had great confidence. After all, the breakthroughs in other areas were so great, this technology could not stand still. This technology was related to all subsequent electricity-related technologies, and electromagnetic induction could be said to be the foundation.

However, when he met Duan Shilin, Li Yuanji suddenly realized that he had thought too much.

"Your Majesty, we are incompetent. We have only just completed our understanding of this electromagnetic induction technology and are preparing to begin experimental testing."

Li Yuanji was a little confused and speechless. Other technologies had made great progress, but now Duan Shilin told him that these people had completed the understanding of electromagnetic induction?
It’s been almost two years, and this is the result?
This also gave him a big surprise.

Duan Shilin looked at Li Yuanji, who looked a little unhappy, and felt bitter in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the electromagnetic induction technology you gave us is something we have never come into contact with or heard of before. We need to think over and over again about many of the words above, and compare them before and after, before we can gradually understand them. We really cannot speed up our progress, so please punish us, Your Majesty."

Duan Shilin had nothing to defend himself. The fact was just as he said. Compared with the steam principle technology, electromagnetic induction was obviously much more difficult for them.

They have a logic to follow for steam technology, which is relatively simple, but for this electromagnetic induction technology, when you first look at it, you can understand the words, but what do they mean when put together?

Now that they can understand it all, they all feel that it is incredibly fast.

"No problem. I have never heard of this technique before, so it is normal that you are slow to understand it. Now that you have almost understood it, you can gradually start experimenting later."

What else could Li Yuanji say? He had nothing to say. He could only let Duan Shilin and the others take their time. He couldn't be impatient. In summary, there were two words: no way.

After taking a look at the Research Institute, Li Yuanji went to the Firearms Bureau.

"See you, Your Majesty."

"Let's go in and take a look. I've seen the new rocket you developed. It's pretty good."

When Li Yuanji saw Liu San, he immediately praised him. The rocket he made really gave him a big surprise.

Li Yuanji thought that the Firearms Bureau would not be able to make any effective breakthroughs in a short period of time. After all, the difficulty would increase as time went on.

"Did Your Majesty see it at the Shipping Bureau?

At present, there has been no breakthrough in other aspects, so I am thinking of improving the rocket further, increasing its capacity and making it larger so that it can carry more explosives.

In fact, it is not difficult to manufacture today's rockets. The difficulty lies in the accuracy, and we don't have much clue about it yet.

When used by the army, it can be used against dense enemy forces or for range bombing. If you want to accurately hit a target, it is not possible now. "

Looking at Liu San with a frown on his face, Li Yuanji also smiled.

"Just take your time, don't rush. As researchers, you must keep a clear head at all times.

The fact that the Rockets can now be improved shows that you have put in a lot of effort. You just need to slowly work on the precision part and experiment with it."

Li Yuanji could understand Liu San's feelings. Today, this rocket can indeed strike large targets, or carry out range strikes, but it cannot carry out precision strikes. He really can understand that.

But even though he understood it, he didn't have any good method to develop rockets. If he wanted to develop it into a rocket or a missile, there was still a long way to go.

It's no use what he brought up, the Firearms Bureau still has a long way to go before it can produce those things.

Then Li Yuanji continued: "Let's leave it at that for now regarding the rocket. I came to you this time for another matter.

Today's rifles require pulling the bolt once to fire a bullet. Have you ever thought about designing a gun that can fire bullets continuously once the trigger is pulled, that is, a machine gun?

The bullets used in machine guns are loaded with a small device called a magazine. After the bullets in the gun are fired, the next bullet can enter the chamber, and the bullet shell can come out at the other end of the chamber.

Li Yuanji immediately took out a piece of paper and started drawing, explaining to Liu San while he was drawing.

Another purpose of Li Yuanji's visit to the Firearms Bureau this time was the machine gun.

The importance of machine guns is self-evident. It is not so bad to fight in the south now, because the terrain and the soil affected by the weather have greatly restricted the cavalry. But once the war starts in the north and the ground is open, the advantages of the cavalry will be revealed.

Although he had cavalry, they were not many. Li Er had the most cavalry.

Relying only on rifles and artillery, once the cavalry starts to charge, it becomes difficult for the rifles to deal with it, and the advantages of machine guns can be shown.

He did not expect that the Firearms Bureau would be able to produce it immediately after he mentioned it now. If he wanted to advance to the Central Plains and the North, it would take a lot of time. As long as the Firearms Bureau could be produced within this period of time, it would be fine.

Now it depends on whether the Firearms Bureau can try it. If they really can’t try it, he can only exchange it through the sky-high contribution points.

Only after Li Yuanji finished speaking did Liu San's expression gradually become excited.

"Your Majesty, I will go down and lead people to try it out. I think it is very likely to be realized, but it will take time. Please wait for a while. I will inform you as soon as I succeed!"

As Liu San was talking, he took the drawn blueprint and went downstairs, looking very impatient.

Liu San was really excited. The development of rifles and cannons had reached a bottleneck. Although he kept trying to develop better and different firearms, there had been almost no progress.

Now with the idea of ​​the machine gun, the Firearms Bureau instantly came alive.

Watching Liu San go down, Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled, then stood up and left the Firearms Bureau and walked towards the palace.

At this moment, Li Yuanji didn't want to care about anything anymore. He was so tired that he just wanted to go back and have a good rest.

When they arrived at the harem, Yang Qingwan had already prepared hot water for Li Yuanji. After taking a bath, he began to have an in-depth conversation with Yang Qingwan.

Until the next morning, Li Yuanji was happily talking with Yang Qingwan.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I can rest assured that you are here to take charge."

"As long as my husband doesn't blame me, it's fine. I was forced to make those decisions at the time, so I had to make the decision.

In general, it's not bad. All matters are handled by Prime Minister Cen and his team. Everything is in order, not much different from usual."

Yang Qingwan had a sweet look on her face. She missed Li Yuanji very much after not seeing him for so long. During this period, Yang Qingwan had experienced a difficult time. She sometimes couldn't sleep well at night. She was secretly paying attention to various affairs.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Qingwan with a smile on his face. He knew that Yang Qingwan said it easily. With so many things to do, he knew it was not easy at all.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you. One month from now, I will lead the army to fight in the north and return to Chang'an."

Yang Qingwan's heart tightened when she heard this. At this moment, she was both happy and worried.

She knew very well how miserable she and Li Yuanji were when they first came out of Chang'an. They went around raising money. But in fact, they were just using Li Yuanji's face as the King of Qi to ask for money and alms from others.

Li Yuanji, the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, had no face at all in Chang'an at that time. He was put on the ground and trampled on by people. At that time in Chang'an, all kinds of rumors were talked about them.

The moment he walked out of Chang'an, everyone was laughing at the joke, at the joke of Li Yuanji, the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty.

Now Li Yuanji was finally going to lead his troops back to Chang'an. She supported him but was also worried about Li Yuanji's safety once the war broke out.

Although she was in the rear house, she was aware of Li Er's reputation for being a good fighter. It can be said that if there was no Li Er, it would take many more years for the Tang Dynasty to pacify the world.

Yang Qingwan put away her worries, smiled, and encouraged him: "Since my husband has made up his mind, I will fully support him. I only hope that he will succeed and return to Chang'an to rule the Tang Dynasty."

Yang Qingwan knew very well that now she only needed to support Li Yuanji, cheer him up, not feel reluctant, and not hold Li Yuanji back.

Those who used to laugh at them, this time Li Yuanji returns to Chang'an, if those people are lucky enough to survive, let those people see clearly that those who used to laugh at them and talk about them are not only out of their reach now, but their own lives are not in control of them.

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Qingwan and smiled sincerely.

"It's good that you understand. I will take you back to Chang'an when I return.

You are the queen now, and you will be the queen then!"

Yang Qingwan smiled happily. She didn't care about the queen or anything like that. She just hoped that everything would go well for Li Yuanji.

The two of them stayed together for a while, and then Wei Gui, Wu Shun, Wu Mei and others arrived, and the two separated immediately.

"My king, you are finally back."

A voice was heard, and Wu Mei flew into his arms.

Li Yuanji looked at Wu Mei and Wu Shun. They had grown up a little now. At nearly twelve years old, they were no longer considered young in that era.

Li Yuanji held Wu Mei in his arms, and then pulled Wu Shun over and hugged him for a while.

"Okay, let go, there are people watching."

Wu Shun let go with a red face, but Wu Mei was not shy at all.

"Sister Wan and Sister Wei all know about it. I'm not afraid, hehe."

Yang Qingwan and Wei Gui immediately covered their mouths and laughed. Li Yuanji also looked helpless and rubbed Wu Mei's head.

This whole morning, Li Yuanji spent the time chatting with the girls. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time that Li Yuanji was willing to spend half a day with them.

It was not until noon when Li Yuanji was ready to rest that the women left, and Yang Qingwan also went downstairs.

Li Yuanji lay on the chair, closed his eyes and rested, but he was concentrating his mind.

Li Yuanji opened the system and saw that he now had only 68,000 contribution points. After using up the huge sum of money before, the task of 500,000 contribution points had not yet been completed.

When Li Yuanji was about to quit, he saw the task was suddenly completed, and Li Yuanji was immediately delighted.

His eyes immediately looked at the existing contribution points, which were more than 568,000. Li Yuanji smiled immediately, and was extremely happy.

Li Yuanji then looked at the new task: if the population of each prefecture under his jurisdiction reaches two million, he will receive two million contribution points upon completion.

Looking at this task, Li Yuanji felt a bit of a headache for a moment. He knew which prefectures the system mentioned, but for a prefecture to have a population of two million, it seemed difficult no matter how you looked at it. It would be a task that would be difficult to complete in at least two or three years.

Li Yuanji looked at the two million contribution points with envy, but he could only watch. At least before he developed again, he could not complete this task.

Li Yuanji stopped looking and started looking for what he wanted to exchange.

After finding all the ones he wanted to exchange, Li Yuanji looked at the contribution points one by one. When he added them up, Li Yuanji felt helpless for a moment, as if he had lost all desire to live.

Now he has more than 500,000 contribution points which may seem like a lot, but what he wants to redeem now requires even more contribution points.

Now Li Yuanji only wanted to make incandescent lamps, telephones, telegraphs, and if there were any left over, he would make a machine gun, as well as some fuel-powered car-related technologies, as well as some machine tool drawings. He wanted them all.

But even for the first three that he wanted the most, he couldn't redeem even one with his contribution points.

Fortunately, Li Yuanji was well prepared. The more advanced the technology, the more contribution points are required.

Li Yuanji didn't want to wait any longer. Now that his fiefdom had expanded so much, he had to start completing the task that rewarded contribution points for expanding his fiefdom. Now, only by completing that task could he redeem these with his contribution points.

Especially telephones and telegraphs, which Li Yuanji urgently needs. His fiefdom is too large now, and even carrier pigeons can no longer support such a huge amount of information transmission.

Half an hour later, a smile finally appeared on Li Yuanji's pale face.

It took more than 360,000 contribution points to refresh this task. He originally had more than 560,000 contribution points, but now only 200,000 points are left. He was about to collapse when he couldn't refresh it anymore.

Now that the task has been refreshed, Li Yuanji looked at the 8.64 million contributions on his panel and smiled with satisfaction.

With nearly 10 million contribution points, he had to spend them well this time. He had to spend them, and spend them hard.

The incandescent lamp, telephone and telegraph machine were exchanged, and six million contribution points were gone. One for one million, one for two million, and one for three million. Li Yuanji could not bear to see it.

Then he exchanged the basic principle technology of the line, and another 800,000 contribution points were gone. In a blink of an eye, only 2 million were left in his hands.

Then he exchanged various machine tool drawings. There was no other reason, because if these were not exchanged, many technologies would not be used for a while.

For example, how can some parts of this telegraph machine be polished without the corresponding machines?

The same is true for other industrial products. Those that were originally rough have now been replaced by fine ones by Li Yuanji in order to further improve production capacity and product performance.

After all the exchanges were completed, Li Yuanji handed them over to the research institute for development and began to prepare for the final battle.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for war is getting closer and closer. (End of this chapter)
