Shang Yu had already been thrown from the south of the Yangtze River by Liu Xiaobao's elder from a cloud-like height to Dadu for three days.

"Jing Qing, what you said is true? Can you really make a planetarium for me? Emperor Yuan Hui stood up from behind the table with a happy face and asked, his wish for many years is to be able to master the celestial phenomena, if he can master the celestial phenomena, he can win the hearts of the people in the world, this is what his master has told him countless times, of course he is nervous and happy at this time.

"The ministers are not lying, but the materials needed need to be collected by the ministers themselves, and they have to cross tens of thousands of miles of sea to reach that country, but as long as Banzai allows, the ministers are willing to risk their lives to collect them." Shang Yu had no joy in his heart at this time, that kind of planetaria was just something that could observe the stars from a distance, and there was nothing surprising about it, the only reason why people could believe in the art of the stars was that the calculation method between Zhou Yi gossip and the movement of the stars could draw all kinds of plausible conclusions, and Shang Yu said in advance that the creation of the planetarium was to make Emperor Yuan Hui feel unattainable, so as to lay the foundation for his future escape.

"Thousands of miles beyond the sea? What kind of country is it? Emperor Yuan Hui couldn't help but say with a slight disappointment when he heard that some materials had to be collected from such a long distance.

"Long live Qiyu, across the east tens of thousands of miles of oceans there is a country called the Golden Country, where gold and extreme crystal, its crystal can be used as the best material for the planetarium, this extreme crystal impurities are very few, although my Dayuan area is wide, but there is no crystal of that kind of texture in the country, if you want to complete the planetarium for long live, you have to have this trip." Shang Yu said as he carefully observed Emperor Yuan Huidi's response.

"El Dorado? I have been in charge of the world for many years, and I am well known to dozens of states in the world, but this golden country has never been mentioned by anyone, since it is really unheard of for me to send people to collect information about this country, and cross tens of thousands of miles across the ocean, such a distant country should already be at the junction of heaven and earth! Emperor Yuan Hui said with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Shang Yu smiled secretly in his heart: "We all live on a sphere, where can there be any horizon?" If I hadn't been taught by Master Liu, I would have been as ignorant as this Yuan Emperor! ”

But he immediately said, "Hooray! But before that, the ministers are willing to supervise the construction of a planetarium in the palace for you, and make some exquisite utensils for you, I think you will definitely be interested! If you return from going to sea, you should finish making the planetarium as soon as possible. ”

"Jing Qing! I fully agree with your proposal, and I will build a planetarium according to your words, but what is the cost, although the palace is sufficient, it is not suitable to build a large number of buildings. "Emperor Yuan Hui didn't really believe Shang Yu's words about going to sea to collect materials, but he just thought that Shang Yu wanted to use this to cheat some money.

The Yuan court made several expeditions to the Wa Kingdom, all of which were destroyed due to the ship's encounter with wind and waves at sea, and as Shang Yu said, it was farther to go to the Golden Kingdom than to ten Wa Kingdoms, and Shang Yu's words were not credible. However, Shang Yu wanted to build the Celestial Observatory first, that is, he was determined to go to sea to collect the purest extreme crystal, which made Emperor Yuan Hui couldn't help but be greatly moved.

"Long live, the main purpose of building the planetarium is to have a stable foundation, and the top of the house must be made that can be opened and closed freely, and the selected direction also needs to be in the palace where the yin and yang meet, so that Banzai can measure the celestial phenomena in the future, and the world will be in the palm of his hand. The cost will never exceed the specifications of a side hall, and it will cost about tens of thousands of taels of silver. Shang Yu secretly counted the breath in his heart and replied loudly.

"Yes, Jing Qing, Teng will immediately give you the position of Supervisor of the Celestial Observatory, ranking as the third grade, this is the highest official position that a craftsman has ever received in the history of my dynasty, I hope you can do your best for me." Emperor Yuan Hui said with great joy, he still doesn't care about the price of a side hall, and the side hall in the palace is rebuilt every year, which is the land that can be supported by the regular use of the land over the years.

"Long live thanks! Before supervising the construction of the Planetarium, there are three other instruments and figures that must be handed over to Banzai, and these three items will be completed in the next month. Shang Yu took out a few drawings from his sleeve and lifted them up on his half-kneeling ground.

"Get it to me." Emperor Yuan Hui said with a happy face, and motioned to the man next to him who was driving with him to immediately step forward and take the figure.

That Wanhu still flashed a hostile look towards Shang Yu in his eyes and took the drawings over, Shang Yu's origin is unknown, Emperor Yuan Hui used the authority of the emperor to ensure his safety, otherwise this Wanhu would have led the soldiers to cut Shang Yu into pulp.

After Emperor Yuan Hui took the drawing in his hand and unfolded it, he only glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but praise loudly: "Okay, it's so ingenious!" Jing Qing, you deserve to have a relationship with me, I can understand this kind of structure, but it is impossible to imagine that I can use flowing water to make such a utensil in my back garden, which is really unprecedented and unprecedented. ”

The man who was originally hostile to Shang Yudi Wanhu heard it clearly, and said in his heart: "This Jing Wo is actually a person from the same sect as Long Live Longlive, no wonder he will protect him like this, but it is not in line with the etiquette, I want to see what kind of ghost drawing is on that picture?" ”

He raised his eyes and peeked into the graphics a few steps away from Emperor Yuan Hui, only to see that the graphics on it were complicated, and all kinds of handwriting were listed on it.

"Hooray! Using the power of flowing water in the back garden can make the musical instruments made by the ministers produce musical sounds, and this music is different from time to time, it is completely made by the speed of the water flow of providence. Shang Yu said with a smile.

As long as the manufacture of this water music vessel is completed, and then the puppet that Liu Shizun said is completed, then you can return to Jiangnan as soon as possible by taking a boat to the sea, which can not only make the puppet continue to confuse Emperor Yuan Hui to indulge in the art of craftsmanship, but also make it deeply immersed in the theory of celestial phenomena, which lives up to Liu Xingbao's trust, and the important items for making the puppet are always placed on Shang Yu's body, which is what Shang Yu did not expect.

"The instrument of water music, the heaven makes music! Jing Qing, it seems that your junior brother is really too strong to be able to have such a ingenious idea! I look forward to the completion of your planetarium and water music vessels, when I will personally send a naval army to accompany you to the sea. Emperor Yuan Hui was overjoyed when he heard this, he only saw that the water was a group of water-powered ground instruments, but he didn't see that it was a set of water music instruments, and Shang Yu said that it could produce completely different movements from the water flow of heaven and earth at all times, which made him even more happy, doesn't this prove that he, the emperor, can get the music of heaven and earth, that is, he can collect the good fortune of the world?
