Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Also witnessing the spectacle of human beings flying in the air was the great Li Er himself. Although he had long expected that Li Xin would not make that kind of unsure bet, but when he really saw Li Xin making people go to heaven, this kind of direct shock was still unavoidable.

As a modern person who has seen an airplane with his own eyes and been on an airplane, it is of course difficult to understand this shock. It's just a hot air balloon flying at a height of one or two hundred meters, and it's boring just looking at it. But for these native Datang people, this hot air balloon means a huge leap in technological means.

Just imagine that when Dongfanghong went to heaven, it was just a child's toy in the eyes of Yankees and Soviets, but in the eyes of Chinese people, it was a leap from scratch. When ordinary people see it passing through the night sky, the shock in their hearts may be exactly the same as that in the hearts of Li Shimin and the officials at this moment.

In their eyes, human beings who have never left the earth for generations, for the first time broke free from the natural shackles imposed on human beings by heaven and earth, and touched the starting point of conquering nature for the first time.

Li Shimin's eyes were flickering. What Li Xin once said, the benefits and applications of flying quickly passed through his mind one by one. He seemed to see an incomparably majestic blueprint slowly unfolding before his eyes.

The science department must be established! must!

Before seeing the hot air balloon with his own eyes, Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to what Li Xin said about the Ministry of Science. After seeing Qu Yuanli, he certainly has a better understanding of the phrase "workers want to do their best", but this does not mean that he fully understands the meaning of the Ministry of Science. Most of his understanding of the Ministry of Science is still at the level of reducing famine.

Even his establishment of the Ministry of Science has a little bit of power play in it: having an extra pocket for power, even if it is empty, is not a bad thing for him, maybe one day it will be used suddenly Woolen cloth?

However, when he saw this hot air balloon floating in the sky with his own eyes, he suddenly realized how ridiculous his scheming and calculations were in front of this hot air balloon.

The Ministry of Science means to reduce famine and feed more people in the Tang Dynasty, which is true. But the benefits it can generate go far beyond that. If it is used properly, it can completely bring Datang's Wude to another level, and make all countries in the world submit to Datang.

It's a pity that Li Xin didn't know that Li Shimin was immersed in this kind of imagination, otherwise he would tell His Majesty Li Er with a smile: It is true that all the countries in the world surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but this "world" is not what he understands The "under the sky" is the real "under the sky".

The "tianxia" understood by the ancients did not exceed the scope of the Eurasian continent at all. After all, even Xuanzang, who is heading west, hasn't set off yet. People's concept of "world" has not been properly established.

But Li Xin knew how big the world was. The real world is not just the Eurasian continent, but what is called the "sky", which is under the atmosphere that wraps the earth. Back then, the British Empire conquered so many colonies, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, how majestic it is. The prosperity of the old empire still has its afterglow even in the 21st century, and it looks down on the revived China everywhere.
