Early in the morning of the second day, the Yizhou monthly newspaper was sold well in the entire Jiannan Road.

This is of course due to the good road transportation situation throughout Jiannan Province, and newspapers begin to be delivered to the states and counties before dawn.

As for the people of Chang'an, it takes the afternoon to read the newspaper.

In other provinces, it may take a day or two, or even three or five days, or even a month or two before you can see the newspaper.

There's no way, in Datang, where the road conditions are extremely poor, you can't get up fast if you want to.

However, this situation can be greatly improved after the train track in Hangzhou Tongyizhou and the train in Hangzhou Tongchang'an.

It is impossible for the vast majority of the people of Jiannan Province to go to Yizhou to watch the game in person.

Not to mention the expensive tickets, the cost of travel and the time, it was decided that they could not go to the scene.

If you want to know the situation of the game, you can only do it through the Yizhou monthly report.

Therefore, the sales of this issue of Yizhou Monthly Report were particularly hot and were robbed.

Soon, they learned about the competition of the 16 Nations Games yesterday through the Yizhou Monthly Report.

Yesterday, Datang can be said to have a bumper harvest.

In addition to the Kemari competition, there were four events yesterday.

Datang won three gold medals, three silver medals and one bronze medal.

With an absolute lead, it occupies the top of the medal table.

With this medal count, there is even a chance to lock up the top spot in advance.

Not to mention, there are still two days to go, and they can still collect more medals.

And the details of the game also deeply attracted them.

It turns out that the Sixteen Nations Games are so interesting and exciting!

The next time you have the chance, you have to go to the scene to see it yourself.

This is a relatively lacking entertainment event in Datang, this kind of sports meeting is really a once-in-a-century event.

And the strength of Datang athletes also makes them feel sincerely proud and proud.

……

The second day of the competition was iron ball, javelin, weightlifting and an 800-meter run.

The Datang athletes who participated in the iron ball and javelin competitions were all trained by Li Sude.

After a month of stepping and borrowing skills, they easily won the championship and second place in the two events.

Athletes from the other 15 countries learned from yesterday's competition.

They know that the movements of Datang athletes are more effective.

Therefore, after the Datang athletes did this action, they followed suit.

It's just that just a few attempts are not enough for them to achieve breakthrough results.

In the weightlifting competition, although Li Su also trained the two athletes in terms of skills.

But weightlifting is a thing that depends on one's own strength.

In the end, the championship was taken away by a player from the Western Turks who weighed almost 300 pounds.

Datang only won the championship and the runner-up.

In the 800-meter race, 17 athletes from 16 countries all started in a squatting mode.

From yesterday's race, they all knew that a squat start would allow them to accelerate in less time and faster.

Don't underestimate this amount of time, which is enough to decide the outcome of the game.

Well, in fact, the squat start has the most obvious impact on the 100 meters and 200 meters.

Four hundred meters also has a certain impact, as for eight hundred meters, the effect is already very limited.

As a result of the competition, Su Wen's strength was outstanding, lived up to expectations, and finally won a gold medal again.

The second and third places were taken away by Pishan and Kamezi respectively.

At this point, the second day's competition items are all over.

It's time for the Keju competition on the second day, and this is also the audience's favorite column.

There were seventeen teams in total, and yesterday they played eight games and eliminated eight teams.

There are nine teams left today, and these nine teams will still have a bye today.

Then play four games first, and after eliminating four teams, there are still five teams left.

The next five teams will still have one bye, and two more games will be played to determine the top three.

By tomorrow, the game between the three teams will not be a knockout round, but a round-robin match.

The three teams will compete with the other two teams respectively to determine the champion, runner-up and third place.

In other words, there are six games in total today.

As a team that had a bye yesterday, it will naturally not have a bye today.

Soon, the captains of the nine teams stepped forward to draw lots.

And the one who drew a bye today was actually the Huya team.

In the two-day game, the two byes were all drawn by Datang's team.

To say that there is no cat greasy in it, I really can't believe it.

And in fact, it's really not boring.

Li Su believes in the strength of the Huya team very much, and he does not bother to do anything in this regard.

But who made Datang the host team!

Even if the other fifteen countries have doubts in their hearts, they can only endure it.

And the next first game is to do the team if you are not satisfied, and compete with the Pishan team of Pishan country.

The leader of the Pishan team is a representative of the Pi Xia Ke who courted relatives last time.

Unexpectedly, this leather chivalrous man is also a character of Yunwen and Yunwu.

The strength of the Pishan team is very strong, although the strength of the team is also very strong, but there is no certainty of victory.

Soon, athletes from both sides entered and the game began.

Specializing in the disobedience team, good at attacking.

Their tacit cooperation, the attack was smooth and sharp, and they took the lead in winning a city, and the scene suddenly erupted in bursts of cheers.

The Pishan team is both offensive and defensive.

After conceding a goal, they didn't panic and defended patiently.

After several attacks from the team, he suddenly launched an attack and scored a goal, and the two sides fought to a 1-1 draw.

Next, the two sides went back and forth, the score rose alternately, and the battle situation was extremely anxious.

The mood of the audience also followed the progress of the game, up and down.

And after the second half, Pishan's defense suddenly strengthened.

The professional team was dissatisfied with the team for a while, and he couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the other party.

At the critical moment, they broke off Cheng Chuliang's two goals in a row, and quickly launched a counterattack, scoring two goals in a row to pull the score away.

In the following time, the team was anxious and eager to score, but in the end, the Pishan team seized the opportunity and scored two goals again.

In the end, the Pishan team won the game with a four-point lead.

At the scene of the game, there was a voice of regret.

The audience also didn't expect that the team they thought was the biggest favorite to win the championship would be eliminated in the first game.

Kemari matches, it's really hard to predict the outcome of the game.

In this way, Datang will only have one team left, the Huya team.

Half a day later, all four games were played.

There are still five teams left on the scene.

These five teams will draw lots again to decide the afternoon game.

Of course, this time in the draw, the Huya team will not have a chance to have a bye.

Each team has only one bye.

In the afternoon, the Huya team was the first to play and play against the Guizi team of the Turtle Country.

This is the only remaining team of Datang, and the audience pinned all their hopes on the Huya team.

And the Huya team also lived up to expectations, and directly beat the Guizi team to the north.

In the end, he won with a large disparity of 18-0.

……

The third day was also the last day of the 16-nation Games.

This time, there are five types of competitions: archery, triple jump, 10,000-meter competition, martial arts and keju.

The first race is a 10,000-meter race.

Seventeen athletes from 16 countries soon came to the competition site to prepare for the competition.

When the referee ordered these athletes to prepare, the athletes from the other 15 countries all lay on the ground and prepared in a squatting start.

Squat start can shorten the starting speed, and if you want to get good results, you need to use squat start.

However, to their surprise, the two athletes of Datang were still standing and did not take a squatting position.

Why is that?

They invented the squat start in the first place, so why don't they use it now?

The referee didn't give them much time to be amazed and blew the whistle in time.

The sports of the other fifteen countries, after hearing the whistle of the game, quickly kicked the ground and rushed out.

I am still sighing in my heart, this squat starting speed is fast!

But they hadn't gone far before they had a faint sense that something was wrong.

Hey? That's not right!

It's a 10,000-meter race!

In the 10,000-meter race, how can there be a reason to sprint when you come up?

If you sprint like this, you will definitely not be able to make it to the finish line.

Now, they finally reacted to why the two athletes of Datang didn't take the way of squatting and starting.

It turns out that the squat start method is only suitable for short distances.

And long-distance running, you don't need it at all.

In the 10,000-meter run, Su Wen finally won the first place with an absolute advantage.

The second and third places were won by the Turks and Tibetans respectively.

In the next triple jump, the first and second places were also won by Datang's competitors respectively.

After all, Datang's players have been training for a month or two to run and jump.

And they only found out the day before yesterday that they could still jump like this in the long jump.

Two days, although they have also made considerable progress.

But compared with Datang athletes, there is still a big distance.

In the next martial arts competition, Li Yuanfang won the championship without any suspense.

In the archery competition, Xue Rengui also won the championship.

So far, all the competitions except the Kemari competition have been completed.

In the end, there were only three teams left to compete for the championship and runner-up in the Keju competition.

Because of the problem of time, there will be one team today, and we have to compete with two teams separately, and there is only a short break of one hour in between, and it is difficult to fully recover from the physical strength.

Originally, according to the referee's intentions, lots were drawn to determine the order of the team's game.

However, in the end, the host took the initiative to ask them to compete first.

And this move of the Huya team made the other fifteen countries look at Datang with admiration.

Look, this is the style of the host team.

Next, the Huya team played two games against the other two teams, with only an hour's break in between.

This time, the Huya team fully demonstrated what absolute defense is.

In the first game, a quarter of an hour before the end, the Huya team was defending with all their might, and the opponent was stunned that he did not score a goal.

And in the end, the Huya army pressed in, caught them off guard, and won with a score of 1-0.

In the second game, the Huya team was still defense-oriented.

However, in the second half, the Huya team's physical strength was still very good, and they began to defend and counterattack.

In the end, they won the championship with a score of 10-0!

In the afternoon, the other two teams will compete to determine the champion and third place.

After the end of the afternoon game, this time the 16 Nations Games ended perfectly.

In this Games, the biggest winner is, of course, Datang.

Out of a total of thirteen gold medals, they won ten.

Most of the silver and bronze medals are also included in the waist.

After the competition, representatives of sixteen countries came together for a special meeting.

The remaining 15 countries all felt that the 16-nation Games were very meaningful.

They all want to fight for the right to host the 16-nation Games.

In addition, they felt that thirteen projects were too few and that some more should be added.

This meeting is mainly to discuss these issues.

After thinking about it, Li Su took the lead in giving his own suggestions.

"The Games of the Sixteen Nations can be held in turn. The items of the competition can also be added continuously, and of course, there must be a charter in it. ”

"First of all, I suggest that the Games of 16 be renamed so that it will no longer be limited to our 16 countries, but all countries can participate. So, the name of the Games can be changed, well, how about calling it the Asian Games? ”

"Asian Games? Why is it called the Asian Games? ”

"Asian Games, does it have any special meaning?"

Coughing twice, Li Su couldn't help but explain: "This world is very big, in addition to our countries, there are boundless oceans outside, and outside the ocean, there are other continents. And our countries are all on the same continent, and this continent is called the Asian continent. ”

"And the Asian Games means that all countries in Asia will hold games. We can inform other countries that they can join if they want to participate. ”

After listening to Li Su's explanation, the representatives of the other 15 countries nodded one after another.

"Well, if that's the case, then it's decided."

"Asian Games, this name is quite nice!"

"From then on, it's called the Asian Games!"

First of all, the name was decided, and then Li Su said: "The next thing is to hold it once every few years, and the king's suggestion is that it will be held once every four years." ”

"Because we have a very large area, it takes a long time just to spend on the road. If it were held once a year, it would be estimated that some countries would be delayed for more than that much. ”

After Li Su finished speaking, the representatives of the other 15 countries all showed thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Yes, that's true.

This proposal was unanimously approved again.

Li Su continued: "There is also the issue of competition items, and the suggestion of this king is that every country can propose to join some competitions. However, this proposal must be supported by more than 80% of the countries before it can be finally adopted. And it is necessary to apply in advance. ”

"The last issue is the number of athletes participating. The king's suggestion is that we can first specify a criterion, for example, in the 100-meter race, you must have the strength to run within 12 seconds to be eligible for the race. ”

"If you don't have that quality, you won't be qualified. And as long as there is this strength, no matter how many athletes in a country meet the standards, they can participate. ”

Of course, twelve seconds is just an example given by this king, and the specific amount needs to be discussed by everyone. I wonder what you think of the king's proposal. ”

I have to say that all the suggestions put forward by His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty are very constructive.

Some of these questions are in their minds, but they have not found a better way.

Others are things they don't even think about.

And the solution given by the king of Shu, in their opinion, is very perfect and perfect, and they have no reason or excuse to oppose it at all.

After a simple discussion, all these suggestions put forward by the king of Shu were unanimously approved.

Finally, Li Su continued: "Of course, there may be all kinds of new problems here. Therefore, Ben Wang suggested that each country send one or several personnel to form an Asian Games arbitration committee. ”

"Including the referee and all the problems encountered in the Asian Games, all the disputes are resolved by the Asian Games Arbitration Committee. All members shall not contest the arbitration by the arbitration department. ”

This proposal, of course, was unanimously approved.

After these rules are settled, the next thing to discuss is the next Asian Games to be held in that country.

After a vote of 16 countries, the final result was that Pishan won the country.

Four years later, the second Asian Games will be held in Pishan country.

And now, they will inform other countries outside of the 16 countries that they can participate in the next Asian Games.

At the same time, their countries are also constantly proposing new competitions, which will be added to the second Asian Games.

Eventually, there will be as many as 50 events in the second Asian Games.

These projects proposed by these countries are naturally competitions that their countries have had, but other countries basically do not have.

Of course, Li Yu understands all these projects, and he still knows them quite well.

There is no way, the competition items they put forward cannot, of course, be out of the scope of the competition items of later generations.

……

The first 16-nation Games, or the first Asian Games, have come to a successful conclusion.

Of course, the impact of the first Asian Games will last for a long time in Datang.

The Yizhou monthly report for three consecutive days made countless people of Datang feel enthusiastic and passionate about this sports meeting.

After the end of the first Asian Games, the steam plow that Di Renjie and his research were officially launched after continuous trials and improvements.

Of course, because of the technology, the steam plow is very expensive.

The price of a steam plow, the sale price is 100,000 yuan.

At this price, few people can afford it.

In other words, Di Renjie and others, although they have developed a steam plow, can greatly improve the efficiency of cultivated land.

But in reality, its usefulness is not high.

The cost is too high, and the people can't afford it at all, and they can't promote it at all.

As for those big landlords, they can naturally afford to buy them.

But in the case of cheap labor, the price of buying a steam plow is much higher than hiring labor.

How could they buy a steam plow in this case?

In the end, the results of their research proved to be useless.

So many days of research, so many days of hard work, all in vain.

Such a result made them very frustrated.

And Li Su comforted them: "Don't be discouraged, this is something that must be experienced on the road of scientific research." ”

"You have to remember that this road will be full of setbacks and bumps, and it will not always be smooth sailing. Don't be hit by failure. ”

"Besides, your research is not necessarily a failure. Because, this is only the first generation of steam plows. Since the first generation of steam ploughs was too expensive to build, why don't you try to reduce their costs? Ben Wang believes that if the experiment is done properly, the steam plow is promising. ”

After Li Su's comfort, Di Renjie and the others regained their confidence and continued to improve the steam plow.

At this time, Yizhou University once again had graduates.

This time, after Li Su's strict selection, 20 graduates were finally selected to be added to the scientific research institute.

The rest of the graduates are all added to the ranks of teachers.

In recent years, because of the serious shortage of teachers, Wang Xiaotong and them have really been tired enough.

Now, with graduates, after passing the training, they can become teachers.

Wang Xiaotong and them can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The scientific research institute, because of the addition of 20 people, has now reached the scale of 25 people.

With so many people, it is possible to conduct research in groups.

Next, Li Su gave Di Renjie a new research topic.

This new research topic is electricity.

When Di Renjie heard about this research topic, his two big eyes were glowing.

"Master, is the electricity you are talking about the thunder and lightning that strikes on a rainy day? Can these thunderbolts also be drawn down from the sky for trial? Is it a splitting of people? If you can use the word in the battle between the two armies, it is definitely a sharp weapon! ”

me, what kind of brain circuit are you?

This is a big brain, isn't it?

Li Su couldn't help but say speechlessly: "The electricity that this king is talking about is indeed the kind of thunder and lightning that strikes, but it is not the thunder and lightning in the sky. With our current ability, of course, we can draw lightning down, but we can't store it at all. ”

"The subject of this king is that we generate electricity ourselves. And the use of electricity is not for military use, but for civilian use. Electricity can emit light or be used as power, and it has many functions. ”

"So, our next topic is to study electricity. In order to make you more intuitive to observe electricity, below, this king will do an experiment for you. ”

Next, Li Su took out a potato, a piece of wire, and a very small light bulb.

Next, Li Shu cut the potatoes, dug a hole in one of them, and put salt on both sides.

After a few moments, insert a few pieces of metal into the potatoes and connect the bulbs with wires.

Then, a magical scene occurred, and the light bulb actually lit up.
