Farewell to Doctor Liu, Bailiyan walked to the outside of the palace, after some communication, with the permission of King Xian, the palace maid led Bailiyan to the Wenxue Pavilion, and King Xian moved here to enjoy refreshments and snacks. Knowing that Concubine Zhen was pregnant, King Xian's spirit was obviously much better.

"Chen Baili Yan see the king."

"Hehaha, Aiqing, hurry up and excuse me, let's come and sit together."

"King Xie."

Bailiyan took off his boots and sat down, and King Xian personally poured a cup of black tea and pushed it in front of Bailiyan, and said calmly

"Yongxing Hou is fortunate to have a hard trip."

"It's the duty of the subordinates to defend the land, and it's worth it. After more than a month of adjustment, if it can be postponed until next year, or for another two years, the situation will be greatly improved. ”

"Okay, Aiqing can rest assured. I heard that the royal family lost some money this time, how much? ”

"Less than S$120,000, too much, not too much. Thirty years ago, the current 120,000 Singapore dollars were worth the purchasing power of 200,000 inches of silver, which is worth more than ordinary nobles now, but it is a drop in the bucket for the national treasury.

But this money goes into the hands of merchants, into the hands of foreign merchants, and when it reaches their own country, it is a small income, so it cannot be generalized. ”

"What Aiqing said is reasonable. Let's end this matter, the widow doesn't want to set off any more storms and waves, so leave it to the prince. A few days ago, the widow heard from his nephew that the railway has been built to the north of Chunan County, and from this year, the whole country will build 1,500 to 2,000 miles of railways every year, all the way to Ganfu County, and it will be completed within three years at the earliest. ”

"Yes, the king, Qiu Nan Pengyuan Shangguan Ganfu four counties and a horse Pingchuan repair, the construction speed will be very fast, although Wanchuan has thousands of mountains and dangers, but the east and west passes are flat, so as long as the city wall is opened under the pass, within three years or two years, it can be repaired. If there is spare capacity, railways can also be laid to the two counties of the northwest and the sea. ”

The construction and operation of the railway are under the leadership of the Ordnance Department and the Armament Battalion, but the internal history of Zhisu needs to organize the allocation of food and basic living procurement, so this account Qiao Cheng is very clear, and the plan reported by Bailiyan needs to be verified financially and logistically, and King Xian only needs to ask Qiao Cheng until it is clear.

The railway was actually being built faster than expected, mainly due to the role of automobiles and unicorns

A unicorn horse can carry more than fifteen stone of goods, a four-zhang long heavy rail is the weight of fifteen stone, a unicorn can be dragged to walk, two horses can be tied back and forth can also walk, in the agricultural civilization without automobiles and mechanized transport equipment, the laying of early railways relied on manpower and animal power.

The advent of automobiles has accelerated the transportation and loading and unloading of rails, making it possible to lay railways quickly.

"In addition, the king asked the minister before if he had the certainty of defeating the armpit people, and the minister thought carefully in the past month that I was sure enough to resist the armpit invasion, because of the suddenness of the incident, the minister has been ignoring two things, and this time I went to Muyang Cang, only to remember that our army actually has two killer features."

When King Xian heard the news, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked

"What two things did Aiqing say?"

"Look, my lord."

Bailiyan reached out and took out two photos from her arms, one was a mine and the other was a mine.

"These two things, one is a landmine and the other is a mine, the former is buried in the ground, and it explodes when stepped on, and the latter floats under water or on the surface of the water, and the ship explodes when it touches it, which is very powerful."

"But the sea is boundless and the land is boundless, so I can't do it anymore."

"The king can rest assured that the production of these two things is very convenient and fast, and the cost is low, and the cheapest is only a few catties of snow-white rice. In the future, it only needs to be replenished every year, and it can be preserved within twenty or thirty years. ”

King Xian was very happy, he said

"Okay, very good, with Aiqing here, the widow will be relieved, hahaha......"

After receiving the news from Su Fangyi at the end of September, Bailiyan was indeed confused, and after inspecting Shuyang, he remembered that there were two magic weapons: mines and mines.

The highest level of war is nothing more than killing and injuring the enemy's personnel and destroying the enemy's living forces and war potential. But if you can't even see the enemy's face, how can you talk about killing or injuring the enemy, so in the future, if you can't do it again, you will blockade the entire coast with hundreds of millions of mines and throw a large number of mines on the open sea.

In addition, Baili Yan had an idea and thought of developing rocket artillery, similar to the Type 63 107 twelve-barreled rocket launcher.

This rocket launcher is suitable for mass production of large quantities of equipment, and the manufacturing process is simple.

And solid rockets are easier to manufacture than liquid rockets, rockets are easier to manufacture than rockets, and now that the industrial base has been formed, there is no problem in manufacturing rockets.

At the same time, through the development of rockets, we will make technical reserves for the future development of large rockets and missiles, and since nuclear weapons cannot be used, a large number of cheap and relatively long-range short- and medium-range rockets are undoubtedly the superior choice.

Throughout the afternoon, Bai Liyan accompanied King Xian to talk freely in the Wenxue Pavilion, and in the evening used a casual banquet before leaving the palace and returning home.

After returning home, I learned that Zhao Anling, Zong Botai, and the two had been waiting in the mansion, and they had only arrived in the tomb before dusk. After asking about the intention of the two, Bai Liyan led the two of them to the study, prepared a small banquet and talked about it.

"Why did the two gentlemen suddenly move back to Yongxing City to live, but there is a reason."

At this time, Zong Botai said worriedly

"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, I recently found that the sky has changed, I'm afraid that the limit of King Xian is approaching."

Bai Liyan suddenly became solemn, and he asked

"How much longer?"

"Or at the end of the year, or at the beginning of next year, the Hou Ye is often close to the king, and he should know that the king's health is deteriorating."

"Yes, Ben Hou knows this matter, but you can't force it, Mr. is worried that the prince will attack Ben Hou after the king drives the crane west."

"Exactly, even if the prince doesn't kill the Hou Ye, the Son of Heaven will not let the Hou Ye go, and An Ling and I have always been giving advice to the Hou Ye, and we have already become a thorn in the eye of the Son of Heaven, so we retreated to Yongxing, and it is safer to have the help of the royal guests."

"What Mr. said is also that once the prince really makes a move, the Xianjun can only obey the dispatch of the new monarch, arrest Mr. and ask him for the crime, and Xuanyun City will not be able to save the two. Then go back to Yongxing for the time being, I will repair a letter on this matter, and Mr. Yu will transfer it to Mr. Su tomorrow to clarify my mind. ”

The prince threw a mouse trap on him Baili Yan, and there was no way for a while, but it was still easy to kill Zhao Anling Zong Botai, and it was not even ruled out that assassination and other means would be used to cover people's eyes and ears, and it was also a foolproof strategy to move his family back to Yongxing City, not that Zong Botai and Zhao Anling were afraid of death.

Everyone dies once, but they have to die as they deserve, and death is worthwhile, and it is foolish to sacrifice and die meaninglessly.

The three of them then continued to discuss the current situation and prospects, and arranged for others to live in the East Wing in the evening. After that, Bai Liyan asked on a whim

"Furious Lan, you have been following me for more than two years, and you are also very familiar with Zong Botai, what do you think of the prediction of the Fatian Dao Sect and Zong Botai."

"Well, that's an amazing human talent."

"What's that saying?"

"To put it simply, there are two kinds of predictions, one is prediction, and the other is to grasp a certain law logic and make predictions through analysis. Humans who are able to foresee the future, according to my current analysis, the problem is with the pineal gland of the brain.

Theoretically, it is difficult to travel through the past and the future, but both the past and the future exist in time and space in the form of information, and they correspond to special signal coordinates that have not yet been recognized and understood.

You may not know that there are thousands of advanced civilization creatures in the universe, but there are very few people with the talent of logical prediction and deduction. ”

"According to you, people who can predict the future are still rare breeds."

"Yes, you must know that after the technological realization of longevity, the higher the mode of civilization development, the more uncertainties and malicious competition from external civilizations will be faced, and if you can perceive potential threats in advance, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to the development of civilization.

At the same time, the longer the life carrier of prediction is lived, the more experience is gained, the deeper the research on predictive logic, the earlier and more comprehensive, and the higher the accuracy, so predictive logic is a great talent, not everyone can master it. ”

"If it's a science that can be followed by regular logic, why can't it be mastered by more people?"

"Or should it be pineal gland. Individuals who use this specific logic to deduce predictions also have pineal gland bodies that are different from normal humans, and at the same time cause changes in brain body regions, so their brains' understanding of prediction logic is completely different from that of normal people.

Even if you teach it by hand, some people can only learn it at the surface, and some people may not learn it at all. This is the so-called understanding, which has both the understanding that most people are accustomed to, and the understanding that only a very small number of people have, and the essence of understanding is still the subtle difference of human brain tissue. ”

"Then why can people like Zong Botai always find similar heirs, Zong Botai studied under his ancestor Kong Shenzi Yaoju, and the former imperial guest chief army master Mu Yu can also deduce the future, can these people find and distinguish the differences in the general population?"

"There should be some kind of resonance in the mental space, simply put, there is an information quality in the space, just as insects convey information to their own kind through pheromones. It's just that the quality of information exists in spatial fluctuations, and individuals with the same frequency will resonate, that is, the potential recognition of discerning and appreciating.

However, because this probability is very rare, it is difficult to pass on the early prediction inheritance, either because of the special talent generation, or it is destroyed by external forces for various reasons, and there is even no good heir from generation to generation, and the experience is passed on less and less, and it is lost later.

Therefore, this kind of person is a rare talent, the longer they live, the stronger the ability to predict, and the development of a more advanced civilization, and even require them to predict the future technological trend and field development, is a talent that can be encountered but not sought, and can hardly be cultivated through systematic education. It's a pity that there is no longevity technology now, and if there is, Zong Botai should be given priority to live. ”

Wild Lan's statement made Bai Liyan think that if Zong Botai could live forever, he would undoubtedly be the one who really held the real power, because he knew the future.
