Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked to the edge of the drawing and stood still, and then said to the prince: "Don't underestimate the use of this power, I can tell you about it." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately showed a sense of deference.

When the others heard it, they also held their breath, thinking that the emperor didn't know what truth he would say?

I saw Emperor Chongzhen pointing to the drawing and saying: "You see, if this force can be used like this, he can use a fixed force to smash things, and this can be applied to forging, or other aspects that require a lot of strength to smash things......"

Hearing this, many people, especially those civil servants, couldn't help but look at each other one by one. Dare to love the emperor to make it so grand and mysterious, and use it to teach the prince, and in front of so many people, it turns out that it is just a craftsman's work? This kind of thing, at most, ask the blacksmith to hear about it, and that's about it, right?

The previous ones, after all, involved the heavy weapons of the militaristic state, and they didn't have a special feeling. But at this time, it turned out to be related to the blacksmith, and they were speechless.

Although Emperor Chongzhen had already issued a decree to give craftsmen different titles to distinguish their skills and status. However, the low status of craftsmen has always been impossible to change all at once.

Therefore, even Zhu Cihong listened, and his face showed a trace of contempt.

Emperor Chongzhen saw it in his eyes, suddenly withdrew his hand, and said to him: "Do you think this is a small way, as a prince, you don't need to care about this?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" When Zhu Cihong heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and responded.

It's also thanks to him that he is a flower in the greenhouse, otherwise, it would be impossible to think something in his heart, and something would be revealed in his expression.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't reproach him, but just said to him: "Hugh has to underestimate the blacksmith. Iron ore is dug out from the deep mountains, smelted into iron and steel, and then made into knives, guns, armor, artillery, and can also be made into agricultural tools, kitchen utensils, and even used to pave houses, bridges, etc. I can tell you unequivocally that a country is strong or not because of a big measure, that is, whether the country's steel production is high enough and whether the level of steel utilization is high enough. If the Ming Dynasty wants to be strong all the time, it must pay attention to everything related to this iron! ”

Zhu Cihong may not feel deeply about Emperor Chongzhen's words, but those important ministers and generals of the court were shocked. Civilian officials naturally think of people's livelihood, while military generals think of military affairs. Not to mention, the use of steel is indeed very important.

In fact, in the past, they also had this understanding. However, they did not be like Emperor Chongzhen, who could clearly elevate this steel-related to such a high level. If you think about it, isn't it?

Let's not talk about the war with Mongolia. Why did the Mongols basically pose little threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future? It is because the Ming Dynasty imposed an embargo on Mongolia on iron tools and other items. So much so that on the Mongolian side, they didn't have enough iron to make arrowheads. A lot of bows and arrows are made of bones. In this way, how can this kind of bone arrow pose a threat to the soldiers of the Ming army wearing iron armor?

"Erchen has written it down!" When they were all thinking, they heard Zhu Cihong respond to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, but did not pay much attention to the prince after listening.

He then stretched out his hand and pointed to another set of figures: "Look, this power can also be used to spin a wheel." This is even more useful. If it can be made, then it can be tied to the runner with a rope to pull something that is difficult for manpower to pull, or in a place that is inconvenient for people, such as a mine, to pull things out, to lift up the stagnant water, and it can also be used for water conservancy and irrigation, etc. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raised his voice a little and continued to say to the prince: "It can also be used on vehicles!" Think about it, put this thing on the car, and the force is connected to the wheels so that it can turn. In this way, the vehicle can move forward on its own without the need for an ox to pull a horse. In this way, this kind of car does not need to eat or drink, just burn the fire, tireless, not afraid of the night, what do you think? ”

"......" Zhu Cihong was stupid when he heard it. If the previous events, as far as his mind was concerned, he couldn't think too much about it, and he couldn't be more shocked, then this vehicle that could move around by himself was absolutely shocking to him.

Not only him, but everyone else was dumbfounded. Can there be such a thing in this world?

In the courtyard, after a quiet moment, suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd, a little small, but lost his voice and said that he came back to his senses and immediately shut up. However, this voice was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Wooden Ox Flowing Horse ......"

Emperor Chongzhen also heard that this wooden ox and flowing horse should actually be a means of transportation such as a wheelbarrow, or it is driven by manpower. Therefore, he said casually: "I don't know how many times stronger this thing is than the wooden ox and flowing horse, do you think of anything?" ”

Hearing the question, Zhu Cihong came back to his senses, stared at the picture carefully, and then said with some expectation: "Father, son...... Sons are stupid! ”

It's really that Emperor Chongzhen's words are too sky-populating, he can't keep up with it at all, knowing that even if he says it, he probably can't keep up with his father's thoughts, so he simply admits it.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he guided him and said, "Look, if this force is strong enough, can it pull not only one car, but two, three, or ten, hundred?" And pull around the clock. As for the speed, if it is not fast enough, find a way to make him faster, then the traffic in the southeast and northwest of my Ming Dynasty will be much more convenient in the future. For example, if I want to lead the troops to crusade against Liaodong, I will sleep with the soldiers in this car, and then I will arrive in Liaodong, will it save time, effort, worry and a lot of costs? ”

"......" Emperor Chongzhen's words were too exaggerated for everyone in the courtyard. Is this possible?

Even if you're crazy, you don't dare to think so, right? The imagination triggered by a teapot is thought of to such an exaggerated extent?

These people would rather believe that the Jade Emperor is going down to earth than dare to believe that the scene described by Emperor Chongzhen will really become possible!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them all stunned, and didn't know why, he seemed to have a feeling of enjoyment in his heart, so he continued casually: "Also, this thing is loaded on the ship and drives the ship's paddle wheel to roll, will it also have a very great effect like the vehicle, and greatly change the shipping of the Ming Dynasty?" When applied to warships, do you still need to care about the direction of the wind......

"......" everyone, continue to be speechless, is this okay?

Emperor Chongzhen's later words shocked Zheng Zhilong, the pirate king, the most. If there is really such a ship, it can not be affected by the wind direction, and if it can still drive fast, then who else is the opponent of the Ming Dynasty on this sea?

At this time, he suddenly felt that the emperor said that he would fly the banner of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the sea, just because he had thought of this before, right?

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Cihong hadn't come back to his senses, but the first assistant Xue Guoguan spoke first, and played in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this ...... Can this really be done? ”

Hearing the sound of talking, almost everyone came back to their senses, and suddenly, they all stared at Emperor Chongzhen, their eyes were unblinking, their ears were pricked up, and they were afraid that they would not be able to hear the emperor's answer clearly.

If Emperor Chongzhen said these words just now, it was said by the emperor before the crossing, it is estimated that many courtiers will advise the emperor not to think nonsense. If this is said by ordinary people on the street, it is estimated that they will be directly scolded as crazy.

However, these words are what the current Emperor Chongzhen said. Since the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, since Taizu dreamed, Emperor Chongzhen has shown extraordinary means, wise and martial, and definitely not blown. His prestige is now in full swing. In particular, he can guess what others are doing and what they want to do from the details, this kind of meticulous ability, who is not impressed by the Ming Dynasty?

Now, when he said this, although people, including Xue Guoguan, felt incredible, they didn't dare to say it, this was impossible!

Emperor Chongzhen listened, and said to Xue Guoguan with a smile: "I said that it can be done, do you believe it?" Instead of thinking, it is better to do it directly, practice the true knowledge, and see if you can do it. You can first verify whether this is possible from the academic point of view, and then start to do it, and when you encounter difficulties, you can think about solving them......"

Speaking of this, he saw Xue Guoguan and many other people, and seemed to show a look of disappointment. You know why they didn't get a positive answer from themselves.

In this regard, he had to raise his voice, and immediately said categorically: "I can also clearly tell Qing and others that this can be made." However, there will be many difficulties, but as long as it is created, we will have earth-shaking changes! ”

After Emperor Chongzhen finished saying this, the courtyard was still very quiet. Most people's faces can't help but show a look of yearning, is there really a day when it is created?

Suddenly, after Zhu Cihong came back to his senses, he showed a look of eagerness to try, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Father, my son wants to try!" ”

At this time, if his father agreed, it would be useless for those civil officials to use the Four Books and Five Classics and the learning of the saints to suppress him. For him, a fifteen-year-old child, it seemed interesting and rewarding to be able to build such a thing. His interest was naturally stimulated at once.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't say anything, but paced to the next object, pointed to the Kong Ming lantern and said, "You should know this Kong Ming lantern, right?" ”

"Erchen knows that he has been released." When Zhu Cihong heard this, he had no choice but to put down his previous request first and replied instead.

When others heard it, because of the example of the teapot, most people knew that the emperor must have said something unbelievable about Kong Mingdeng. It's impossible to say, let Kong Ming Lantern fly with people, right?

Thinking so in their hearts, they were curious about the conversation between the emperor and his son.

I saw Emperor Chongzhen nodding and said to the prince: "Then have you ever thought that if this Kong Ming lantern is big enough, will it be able to make people fly into the sky?" ”

Hearing this, ......the people around him couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Sure enough, the emperor really had to mention such an idea!

This time, Zhu Cihong was not as shocked as the teapot, but immediately said honestly: "Erchen didn't think about it before, but when my father mentioned it, Erchen thought, it seems that it's okay!" ”

The others also nodded in their hearts, but they were still curious, and they didn't know what the emperor would say. I always feel that it will not be so simple for the emperor to mention this.

Sure enough, I heard Emperor Chongzhen say to the crown prince: "Then do you know what the truth is? ”

"......" Zhu Cihong was stunned, a little unsure of how to answer, and finally had to say, "After the fire is ignited, it will float up and float to the sky." ”

"Why does it float when it's ignited?"

Facing his father's questioning, Zhu Cihong scratched the back of his head and said suspiciously: "The turbidity gas is down, and the clear qi is rising?" ”

"......" This time, it was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to be speechless.

Forget it, don't ask so, anyway, people in this era, it is estimated that few people will know. So he said to the prince, "The air is buoyant like water. If the goose feathers can float in the air for a long time and fall slowly, while the iron or something falls rapidly, it is because the buoyancy of the air is too small. When the air is ignited, the air expands when it is heated, and you can imagine it as water turning into steam for a while, and it will be easier to hold up the lantern, which is why the lantern rises into the air. ”

When he said this, everyone was listening. I have to say that the emperor's statement opened their eyes again.

"Using this principle, make a kind of artifact, heat it to make it rise, and the force of the rise can bring people to the sky. Then lower the temperature a little and let it descend slowly like a feather, so that the person can land safely. When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he glanced around, and finally looked at the crown prince and continued, "But what can really do what I said is not really just a Kong Ming lantern. You need to think about it, you need to do it. I can tell you unambiguously that one day, people will definitely be able to fly! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the prince to come back to his senses, so he took a few steps forward, picked up the bamboo dragonfly, spun it around, watched the bamboo dragonfly fly, and then said to the prince: "Look, this is another way to fly." So, what will be the reason for this way of flying? Can we use this principle to make better things and fly with people as well? ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen slowly walked back to his place and sat down, looked at the stunned prince and said, "The things I said just now are actually the contents of the Agricultural Division and the Kaiwu Division. You see, if you can understand it and use it, it will definitely change the Ming Dynasty and make it stronger. As a prince, you should know, what should you guide? How to grasp the future direction of Daming, and how to go in the future? ”
