The flight altitude of the aircraft can reach tens of thousands of meters, and even the first-generation improvised aircraft can fly at an altitude of several thousand meters, which is enough to cross the clouds, and it is not a problem to cross the mountains. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li An is bent on getting the plane out, naturally because of the aircraft's speed advantage and the huge specialty of ignoring the terrain, whether it is rapid communication or transporting urgently needed materials, it is the most reliable means of transportation, and the manufacture of the aircraft will be of great benefit to improving the comprehensive strength of the Tang Empire, and it is a key equipment that has to be developed immediately.

In the past, there was no rush to manufacture, because the accumulation of technology was not enough, and the technology needed to build an airplane was much more complex than other machines, at least it could not be manufactured by relying on a steam engine, but now the technology has advanced a lot, and the new use of oil engines has been manufactured, so that most of the problems of manufacturing airplanes have been solved, and it is not a difficult thing to make an airplane, as long as you spend a little time to test, you will definitely be able to manufacture it.

It's just a bit unbelievable to let the cold machine fly into the sky, so no one will believe it after saying it, only to prove it with facts.

And although the matter of the plane is unbelievable, Ang Lee has built too many incredible machines in recent years, so when everyone saw Ang Lee's serious expression, they no longer doubted the fact that the plane could be manufactured.

"Husband, when will the plane be built, can we take the plane and fly above the clouds to play?"

Tender sprouts said wistfully.

"It's going to take at least half a year! But forget it when you fly and play! Although this aircraft can be manufactured, but in a short period of time, the technology must be unstable enough, in case it falls from the sky, it will not be shattered, how can the husband be willing to let a few ladies take such a big risk? ”

Li An said with a look of pity.

"Well, let's not sit then! It's too dangerous. ”

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that, if it's getting late today, let's rest early!"

Ang Lee didn't want to talk about these little things, and it was important to rest early.

"Whose room are you going to rest in today?"

The four women all looked at Ang Lee, waiting for Ang Lee's answer.

Li An grinned and said, "We are all so familiar, what else do we have to share with each other, let's rest together!" Let's lie down and talk again, okay. ”

"My husband is so good, I just came back and asked the four of us to sleep together."

"The palms and backs of our hands are full of meat, we have a problem for our husband, and a few of us are no better."

"Husband has worked hard all the way, so what are we waiting for, let's go back to the room!"

The four ladies hugged Ang Lee to the side of the couch and waited for Ang Lee to fall asleep.

After a comfortable night, early the next morning, Ang Lee went to the R&D center to deploy the relevant matters of the R&D aircraft, and after the deployment was completed, he went to the palace to report the results of the westward trip to the emperor in person.

Of course, when he just came back yesterday, Li An could also go to the palace to report, but he felt that he had just come back and had to rest for a day, and it would be better to go to see the emperor after he was in a better state, and there would inevitably be accompanying officials who would go to see the emperor in advance, so that the emperor could understand various situations in advance and facilitate chatting with him.

After casually chatting about some specific situations, Li Longji was very happy, although these situations had already been reported to him, but he was still extremely happy to repeat them from Li An's mouth.

"Li Shilang's westward journey has achieved great achievements, the powerful Great Food Country actually agreed to build a railway within its borders, and also promised to coordinate with more distant countries, so that the influence of my Tang Dynasty will reach a far away, these are Li Shilang's credits, I want to reward you well."

As soon as the emperor was happy, he said it easily.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, these are what Weichen should do, and it is within the responsibility of Weichen."

"No, since I said that I want to be rewarded, I must reward him generously, by the way, I heard yesterday that Li Shilang is going to develop an airplane, I don't know what the situation is, can you tell me."

Li Longji asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, about the development of aircraft, is it like this......"

Li An opened his mouth to explain, so that Li Longji understood the basic situation of the plane.

"How sure can you really let the machine fly into the sky, how sure is Li Shilang?"

"Your Majesty, ninety percent, Weichen is at least ninety percent sure, and he will definitely be able to develop the aircraft."

Ang Lee said very confidently.

"Great, even if Li Shilang goes to research and development, he needs any conditions, even if he puts it forward, I agree to it all."

Li Longji said generously.

"With His Majesty's full support, Wechen will definitely be able to develop the aircraft."

Li An was very confident, and continued: "Your Majesty, in addition to airplanes, there are many machines that need to be developed in the future, and I Datang will definitely be thriving, however, the items produced by machines must far exceed those by hand, and the machines produced must be sold, so as to obtain a steady stream of financial resources, so as to continue to develop more machines, therefore, the trade route in the west is very important, and now the railway is being built quickly, I believe it will soon come in handy, in addition, in addition to the railway line, It is also necessary to open up another sea route to sell the goods of our Datang to the small coastal countries, so as to expand the prestige of our Datang, and in some important areas or transportation hubs, we can also send elite troops to control these areas and ensure the smooth flow of our Datang trade routes. ”

"Okay, okay, what Li Shilang said is very good, I will fully support it, as long as it is proposed by Li Shilang, I will fully support it, Li Shilang can list the specific plans, I want to take a good look."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will retire for the time being."

Ang Lee left the palace and returned to the R&D center to continue to guide the craftsmen in the research and development of the aircraft.

For the research and development of aircraft, Li Ang is full of confidence, although the research and development of aircraft seems difficult, but Li Ang is confident enough, as long as the engine is done, the propeller and wing are not handy.

The engine of the first generation aircraft is not too difficult at all, and with the current level of technology, it is entirely possible to develop it, but it will take some time.

As for the wings, it is only necessary to use strong and durable high-quality wood, in short, in order to reduce the burden on the engine, most of the body of the aircraft must be made of wood, so that it can fly higher and faster.

After the idea was determined, Ang Lee began to divide the labor, let different people be responsible for different parts, and let them develop and manufacture in strict accordance with the size of the drawings, only in this way can the created aircraft samples be well assembled.

The research and development of the aircraft is in an orderly manner, and Ang Lee only needs to give a few pointers from time to time, and a lot of work is done by the technical personnel of the R&D center.

When he had nothing to do, Li An would return to the mansion, lie on the rocking chair and bask in the sun, look at the scenery around the capital, and take the guards to hunt in the mountains outside the capital, living a fairy-like life.

It can be said that in the entire Tang Empire, Li An's life is the most comfortable and comfortable, even the emperor Lao Tzu does not have him to live a nourishing life, and the person the emperor relies on the most is Li An, no prime minister can be replaced, and the prince can be changed if he is not good, and only Li An is irreplaceable, without Li An, there is nothing that the Tang Dynasty has now.

Just imagine, if it weren't for Li An's invention of too many machinery, especially military machinery, how could the Tang Dynasty destroy Tubo so easily, so as to set up Longnan Road and Southwest Road, so that the territory of the Tang Empire was greatly expanded, if it wasn't for Li An's invention of the railway, how could the material transportation of the Tang Dynasty develop so rapidly, and the national strength would not have been so greatly improved, if there was no Li An, the big food country that dominated the West, how could it be possible to surrender to the Tang Empire, and be willing to persuade the western countries to build railways for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longji is an emperor with strong self-confidence and desire to conquer, and in the entire Tang Empire, only Li An can let him realize this dream, so Li An's current status has surpassed that of the prime minister and the crown prince, and has become the most important person in his heart.

Conquest of the unknown can make an ambitious person feel comfortable, but besides Ang Lee, who can make Li Longji taste this comfortable feeling?

has the ability to develop science and technology that others do not have, making Ang Lee the most important person in Datang, and has also won the great trust of Emperor Li Longji, thus greatly improving his life and allowing him to get a lot of nourishment in Datang.

But people are jealous, especially traitors and villains who are not cultivated enough, they watch Ang Lee prosper day by day, and there is no envy in their hearts, only jealousy and endless hatred.

However, Li An's ability is too awesome, and he has the full support of the emperor, so they don't have any ability to change all this, but this does not mean that they give up their jealousy and indefinite hatred.

And the people who hate Ang Lee the most are undoubtedly those who were hit by Ang Lee, such as An Lushan, who was originally soaring but suddenly fell to the bottom, as well as Li Yanzhong, who was worried about Li Hanlu but saw his sweetheart lying in Ang Lee's arms, as well as those officials and aristocrats who were corrupt and perverted the law and were severely taught by Ang Lee.

These people wish that Li An died earlier, so that they would be happy and live with peace of mind.

It is not surprising that Li An is hated by others, and it is also normal for Emperor Li Longji to be hated, and there should be more people who are offended by the emperor, such as the die-hard forces of Tubo who were destroyed, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and some nobles who have led to the decline of the family because of the emperor's policies, these people will hate the emperor and hate all the misfortunes that the emperor has brought to them.

And now Ang Lee and Emperor Li Longji are very close, and Ang Lee has become the most popular close minister, so that Ang Lee and Li Longji have become a community of destiny, and everyone who hates Ang Lee basically hates Li Longji, and similarly, those who hate Li Longji also hate Ang Lee very much.

In the Xingguo Temple of the Tang Dynasty, the eighteenth son of the Tang Emperor Li Longji, the longevity king Li Mao is meditating in a meditation room and praying for blessings, since the emperor has been keeping the spirit, he has fully adapted to the days of the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, although, later Li Longji remarried him to a noble woman surnamed Wei, but he still did not change the habit of loving to go to the temple to chant the Buddha, perhaps only in the face of the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, his depressed and painful heart, in order to be slightly relieved, in order to temporarily forget the pain in his heart.

At this moment, although he prayed to the Buddha statue, it could be seen from his frowning forehead that his heart was not completely calm, maybe he thought of his wife, Yang Yuhuan, who was taken away by his father, this kind of humiliation of being hatted, no man will forget it in his life, and the person who wore a hat for him is still his biological father, this sense of humiliation naturally increased a little, so that he is still haunted by it for so many years, and he has never let go for a moment.

"Why, why did you do this to me, what did I Li Mao do wrong, God wants to punish me like this, Buddha, can you tell me?"

Li Mao finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his calm Buddha heart was suddenly replaced by anger.

"Sin, sin, what's wrong with me, meditate, meditate."

Li Mao's voice has always been very quiet, and she is alone in a room, and the people outside are easily inaudible.

However, a pilgrim in the next room was already closely watching the movement in the next room, and when he saw Li Mao's anger, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth.

"His Royal Highness King Shou."

The middle-aged pilgrim walked to Li Mao's meditation room and said hello.

Li Mao didn't even raise her eyelids, and said softly: "Who are you, why do you know that this king is here." ”

Every time he goes to Xingguo Temple, Li Mao is a light car, and even the clothes he wears are very ordinary, which does not reflect the identity of the royal family at all, and looks like a small nobleman, and such a promising prince who has been beaten into the cold palace no longer receives anyone's attention, how can anyone suddenly appear in his meditation room?

In short, Li Mao felt that the middle-aged pilgrim who entered the room was not an ordinary person, but a person with ulterior motives.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, below is the Tubo Tashi Zan."

The middle-aged pilgrim spoke.

"Tubo people, there are no Tubo people anymore, they should be from the southwest of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Mao opened her mouth to correct.

"Haha! His Royal Highness King Shou is right, I have been in Tibet for several years, and now my homeland has become the southwest province of the Tang Dynasty, but in my heart, I will always be a Tubo person, and I will always be. ”

Tashi Zan said with a serious face.

"Hmph, you're very faithful! Believe it or not, as long as this king shouts, soon the Yulin army will rush in and capture you, just based on what you just said, it is enough to cut off your head. ”

Li Mao was slightly angry.

"The capital of the kingdom is dead, what is the point of cutting off the head? However, if he is caught, he must confess to His Royal Highness King Shou. ”

A sneer appeared on Tashi Zan's lips.

"Confess this king, this king has nothing to do with you, how can you talk about confessing this king."

Li Mao looked rather angry, and glared sideways at Tashi Zan.
