Datang all-rounder

Chapter 248

Along the way, the two of them didn't speak a word, they were all thinking about how to tell Comrade Li Er about this later.

Arriving outside the imperial study room, the two glanced at each other, and walked in without waiting for anyone to notify them. As soon as they stepped through the door, Wang Ke saw many people sitting in the room from behind Li Ke. The gang of old killers who went to their own village yesterday.

After the two saluted to Comrade Li Er, they saluted to a group of old killers one by one. After everyone had seen the salute, the two were able to sit down.

Comrade Li Er asked after seeing the two of them sat down, "What's the matter for the two of you to enter the palace today?"

Wang Ke and Li Ke looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know who should come forward and talk to Comrade Li Er.Of course Wang Ke was supporting Li Ke at this time, and without thinking too much, he winked at Li Ke and signaled Li Ke to stand up and speak.

Li Ke hesitated for a moment, seeing that Wang Ke didn't look like he was about to get up, then he stood up, saluted Comrade Li Er and said, "I'm here to announce the good news to my father!"

Comrade Li Er has been very happy in his heart these days. He hears good news every day. He called a group of old killers today because he saw the hot air balloon made by Wang Ke yesterday. Today he wants to discuss what to do next. How to use this thing, and who should do this thing, and who should be sent to lead it in the future.This was just the beginning, and Li Ke and Wang Ke walked in before the substantive issue was mentioned, and Li Ke also said that he was here to announce the good news, how could this not make Comrade Li Er even more happy.

Comrade Li Er's eyes were shining, and he asked with surprise: "Where does the joy come from? Ke'er, let me tell you!"

Li Ke quickly recounted what he and Wang Ke did in the throwing test this morning, and then said: "Father, what happened today has fully proved that this hot air balloon is fully capable of high-altitude reconnaissance and destroying the enemy." Function, judging from the results of today's test, it can be completely established by using our existing equipment, and there is no need to develop new equipment separately, which also allows the establishment of this air force to be established very quickly. My son has already Start training hot air balloon operators and throwers, as long as a sufficient number of hot air balloons are produced, you can use the trained operators and throwers to carry out large-scale training.”

As soon as Li Ke's voice fell, a group of old killers didn't care about being in front of Comrade Li Er, and they all shouted loudly. , with a smile on his face, he kept nodding his head there.

Sitting in his seat, Wang Ke quietly watched the changes in the expressions of everyone in the room. Now he will not be as happy as others. When he came in, Wang Ke Seeing Hou Junji sitting inside, at this moment, what he should pay most attention to is to see what Hou Junji's expression is.

Sweeping over everyone's faces, Wang Ke's gaze fell on Hou Junji's face. It can be seen that Hou Junji's face is also showing a sincere smile at this time. Wang Ke knows that it is beneficial to Datang. , Hou Junji was as happy as everyone present at something that could make the Tang army stronger.

To be honest, Hou Junji was not a treacherous person at all, it was only because of his pursuit of power that he miscalculated the situation and turned to the prince Li Chengqian, and finally he was stigmatized as a rebel.In fact, judging from helping Comrade Li Er launch the mutiny at Xuanwu Gate, he is still quite loyal to Comrade Li Er, but after the passage of time, he has forgotten the unique ability of Comrade Li Er, thinking that helping the crown prince Li Chengqian can also be as good as before. Helping Comrade Li Er succeed so easily, he embarked on the road of no return.

When everyone's voices slowly stopped, Comrade Li Er turned his head to Wang Ke and asked: "Boy, is what Ke'er said just now true? If there is anything missing, you might as well add it."

It can be seen that Comrade Li Er already believed in this good news in his heart, but there have been too many happy events in the past few days, and Comrade Li Er has unconsciously raised the question "Is this true?" Any matter must be verified repeatedly. It doesn’t matter what you say when you stand up. As long as you can be sure that the matter is true, Li Ke’s words are not false. As for Comrade Li Er, he asked himself to add some omissions. If you want to talk about it, you can completely ignore it. Anyway, no matter how much you say, for Comrade Li Er, just saying "This matter is true!" is enough.

Wang Ke stood up slowly, and after saluting to Comrade Li Er, he also bowed to the old killers in the room before standing up straight and saying: "Your Majesty, my lords, His Highness Wu Wang did not speak at all. Wrong, today, under the careful arrangement of His Highness, the experiment went very smoothly, and the effect has far exceeded our expectations. As His Highness said, as long as enough hot air balloons can be produced, my Tang Dynasty will be completely You have the ability to build a powerful air force! Your Highness has already made it very clear just now, and I have nothing to add. Please let the emperor and all the adults decide."

After Wang Ke finished speaking, he went straight back to his seat and sat down. He turned a deaf ear to what these people were saying now. Anyway, for Wang Ke, this matter has come to an end. What he is most anxious to do now is It is to find someone who can make glass and make telescopes. Otherwise, without telescopes, the weapons manufactured now cannot exert their maximum power.

Just as Wang Ke was thinking about his own thoughts, he felt Li Ke beside him pushing him. He quickly came back to his senses and looked at Li Ke with his eyes. He didn't know what His Royal Highness needed to find himself at this time.

Seeing Li Ke keep winking at him, Wang Ke didn't know what he was doing. After watching for a long time, Wang Ke didn't understand, so he asked in a low voice: "I said, what are you doing? Just tell me what you want." It’s okay if you don’t!”

Li Ke, who was winking at Wang Ke, was immediately pissed off by Wang Ke's words, and he signaled to him for a long time, but he was still so unresponsive, so he had to lower his voice angrily and said, "Father called you, are you here?" What are you thinking!"

When Wang Ke heard that it was Comrade Li Er calling him, he subconsciously stood up, but he was only thinking about his own business just now, and he didn't hear a word what Comrade Li Er said, so he really didn't know how to speak for a while. , I could only stand there in embarrassment, unable to say a word.

Comrade Li Er was still immersed in the great joy just now, and he didn't go into details about Wang Ke's impoliteness. He just asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about, kid? You didn't even respond to my question. Do you want to speak out, kid?" Let me and all my lovers listen to it?"

Wang Ke was too focused on himself at first, and he was a little scared when he didn't hear what Comrade Li Er asked him. He was deeply afraid that Comrade Li Er would pursue his own problems. , To the question that Comrade Li Er is asking now, he confidently and boldly answered it.

Regarding this matter, Wang Ke didn't feel that there was anything wrong with telling the truth. Anyway, Comrade Li Er had already asked yesterday, and he said it himself, so he didn't have any worries about speaking out today: "Your Majesty, I was thinking just now. , with the weapon we are facing now, we should find a way to exert its maximum power, but now because of the limited vision, we can't reach far. If we find the enemy's track, the enemy is not far away from our army. If at this time It should be too late to calibrate the artillery and let the hot air balloon go up."

Wang Ke took a breath and continued: "So I was thinking just now, is there any way to enable our army to detect the enemy's trace in time when the enemy army is still some distance away from us, so that our army can prepare in time and in order Unleash the maximum power of our army's weapons. Just now, I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't hear the emperor's question, so please forgive me!"

As soon as Comrade Li Er finished listening to Wang Ke's words, he remembered the telescope that Wang Ke said yesterday, and immediately said: "The boy is also thinking about me going to the army. How can I be ignorant and blame you casually! Does the boy I'm thinking about the telescope you mentioned yesterday."

As soon as Wang Ke heard that Comrade Li Er still remembered what he said yesterday, he cupped his hands and said: "The emperor has a really good memory. I am indeed thinking about this problem, but there is a problem that I have not solved yet, so I don't know about it yet." Whether it can be done or not, that’s why I’ve been worrying about it just now.”

Wang Ke kept mentioning Comrade Li Er's question to himself, what he didn't hear, and kept explaining why he didn't hear it. In fact, he wanted everyone present to understand that his rudeness just now was not intentional. Yes, it's really because I'm thinking about making new contributions to the court, so people here don't think about making a fuss about myself, I won't be troubled by Comrade Li Er because of this matter Yes, if anyone wants to use this matter to punish himself, it is wishful thinking and it is impossible to succeed!

As soon as Comrade Li Er heard that Wang Ke was worried about this matter, he quickly asked: "Boy, what's the matter? Just tell me, and I fully support you. Tell me, boy, what can't you do?" made it happen?"

Comrade Li Er's thinking is very simple. In his opinion, Wang Ke's embarrassment is nothing more than materials and funds. These problems may still be problems for others, but for him, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is just a matter of one sentence. , As long as he speaks, these problems can be solved.

Wang Ke has his own worries about this matter. Now, for him, materials and funds are not a problem at all. He can directly find Li Ke for materials, and he does not lack money. Just like making hot air balloons, he pays for it first. Forget it, it will be no problem to ask Comrade Li Er for reimbursement in the end, but the current situation is not related to these two aspects. The biggest problem now is that there is no way to solve the glass lens.

Wang Ke knew from history books that there were already glass vessels in the Tang Dynasty, but Wang Ke really couldn't remember whether the glass vessels appeared in the early Tang Dynasty or the middle Tang Dynasty, but since Wang Ke came to the Tang Dynasty In such a short period of time, Wang Ke really hasn't seen a single glass vessel.

I don’t know anything about the manufacturing process of this glass, and I don’t even know what material the glass is made of. Wang Ke is really afraid that at this time, glass has not yet been invented. It has become a castle in the air, and there is no way to realize it.

Wang Ke frowned, and said unwillingly in his heart: "Your Majesty, this matter is very troublesome. To make this telescope requires a special material. Now I don't know if I have it. If not, there is no way to make it. After the telescope was made, I have been thinking about where to find this kind of material."

Wang Ke's words disappointed everyone in the room. From their point of view, Wang Ke couldn't solve the problem, so it was really a problem. Now it can be seen that Wang Ke is very fond of this kind of material. Longing, but there is no way to find it. If it were them, it would be even more helpless.

Comrade Li Er still did not give up and asked: "Boy, tell me what this material looks like and what is it called? I mobilized the officials to find a way, maybe someone has seen it!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ke can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he has no choice but to tell the characteristics of glass. Don't say I've seen it before, even if I haven't heard of it, it seems that there is really no way to find this thing.
