Chapter 260: It's Actually Risky

Shao Yi was shocked by what Xia Yanqing said, and he could see every grass and tree beyond his sight.

As we all know, the farther away you are, the more difficult it is to grasp the details.

But what Xia Yanqing said was a grass and a tree, or a grass and a tree beyond the sight, how could this be?

He motioned to Xia Yanqing, and the two of them walked down the eaves and steps together, far away from the steward's room.

"How did you try it out? Are you sure it's reliable? Shao Yi felt that his speech was a little difficult, "If there is such a thing, it is clairvoyance, right?" ”

For many years, clairvoyance could only appear in legends. It's not something that can be found in the world, it's something used by the gods in the sky.

Xia Yanqing understood what Shao Yi's mood was.

In various legends, clairvoyance and downwind ears are immortal arts, which can only exist in fairyland. Even in that famous work, clairvoyance and shunfeng ears are also unique abilities of the two gods, and they are supernatural powers that other gods do not have.

In fact, clairvoyance, tailwind ears, and even more unbelievable things can make ordinary people's dreams come true after time and the accumulation of technology.

It's just that this is ancient times, and there is no scientific and technological accumulation, so she rashly said that it is indeed a bit scary to be able to make clairvoyance.

Fortunately, Shao Yi was still nervous, and he was not startled by her false words.

"This is a visual effect that I accidentally formed by stacking two curved glass shards on top of each other. What clairvoyance? It's not as mysterious as you say. ”

"Visuals?" Shao Yi was puzzled for a moment, and only from the literal meaning, he understood what these four words meant.

Although Xia Yanqing is 100% sure, the telescope will definitely be able to make it.

But she couldn't talk too much, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain to others how she had gained this confidence.

There is also a concern that this matter is actually risky.

It's just that the glass came out, and the appearance of other convex lenses and magnifying glasses was all based on coincidence, and it was completely impossible to grasp the probability and possibility of their appearance.

If she doesn't seize the opportunity, others don't know how to make a telescope, and when the rare thing is widely promoted, it will not only make the Great Liang Dynasty lose its military advantage, but may even provoke the emperor's anger.

If this happens, I am afraid that even her glass workshop will suffer.

"This thing, when you move two glass shards, you must be able to see it from a distance. But I can't guarantee how much time it will take to make a stable and visible artifact. ”

Shao Yi was still digesting this information that subverted his cognition, and when he heard Xia Yanqing say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to do this thing you said." This matter is very important, I will go to the palace today to ask to see the emperor, and with the emperor's permission, it will not be too late for you to make it again. Otherwise, without the knowledge of the emperor and the court, such a device appears among the people, which will be taboo. ”

In this matter, Shao Yi's focus is very accurate.

Just imagine, if someone holds a high-powered telescope, stands on a commanding height in the capital, scans around, and monitors the emperor's every move or a powerful minister.

That is the situation...... It's scary.

Xia Yanqing also meant this, and she asked, "How are you going to say this to the emperor?" ”

When Shao Yi first came up with the idea of reporting to the emperor, he thought of a rhetoric.

"Although this can increase the advantage of the army in battle, it is also very risky, so don't get involved. I told the emperor that I saw this phenomenon by chance when I was fiddling with two glass shards. I asked the emperor if he could try to make this thing and use it in the army and border warfare. ”

That's exactly what this guy thinks.

Xia Yanqing shook his head: "It's not proper." ”

"Why?" Shao Yi frowned.

He felt that he was protecting Xia Yanqing to the greatest extent and preventing her from being in danger, but he didn't expect to be directly denied.

Xia Yanqing said: "None of us can be sure what the emperor thinks. If the emperor has a sense of crisis about this thing, he doesn't want such a thing in the world to be difficult to control. It is likely that the world will be told to stop all glass production, and then I will be miserable. invested so much manpower and financial resources, but it was all in vain. Maybe it will also make many glass craftsmen, so it will encounter inexplicable accidents. ”

In the era in which she lived, whether it was reading glasses, magnifying glasses or telescopes? The first to appear, it was all foreign. Whether the emperor and the magnates liked it or not, these things appeared, and they were powerful and had no bad consequences.

The key is the problem of mentality, whether you control it or not.

Since you can't curb people from producing and peddling these things, then enjoy it.

At that time, the glasses were all the rage, and no powerful person had the slightest resistance to this thing that had great merits for navigation.

Shao Yi's forehead was a little sweaty, Xia Yanqing said that this possibility is really possible.

If the emperor thinks this thing is dangerous and treats it as a flood beast, maybe he will have the idea of sealing it.

Xia Yanqing gave another possibility: "Or, the emperor is willing to equip the clairvoyant with the military camp or the official office, but he is afraid that this technology will go to the people and be learned by other races." Will it prohibit the private sector from making glass, and bring glass technology under the official ......?"

Xia Yanqing glanced at Shao Yi, when the time comes, where will she cry?

Shao Yi wiped the corners of his forehead, it turned out that he was really sweating.

Fortunately, Xia Yanqing asked, if she didn't ask, he recklessly said to the emperor according to his own thoughts...... Ah Chan is probably not in danger, but Ah Can, an industry with huge prospects, is gone.

At that time, he would have no place to cry.

"Otherwise, you should not have discovered this and directly expose this matter, so as not to take risks." Shao Yi proposed.

In fact, whether to make glasses and reading glasses, Xia Yanqing also thought about it for a long time.

Ever since the glass was successfully fired, she has been struggling with this problem.

There is no doubt that the telescope must be a magical thing in this day and age, and it should be able to make money. But she doesn't have to make this money.

The point is that she is afraid that she will be unlucky, and if she comes here by coincidence, other workshops will also coincidentally discover the role of convex lenses and convex lenses.

When the time comes, not only will she not have to earn any money, but she will have to bear the risks together.

Speaking of the next day, the glass was also fired by her first, and it has made many people envious, jealous and hateful. If she causes trouble in the matter of glass, I believe that there are many people who are willing to pull her into the water.

Xia Yanqing thought about it, but was still a little unwilling: "I'm afraid this thing really can't be done." If I can find out that glass has this kind of effect so easily, who knows when other companies will find it too. It is better for us to make it one step earlier, to supply the army and use it for war one step earlier, than to be preempted by others, in case it is known to everyone, not only will the role of the telescope be wasted, but the disaster will not be avoided. ”

The glass is full of Jinghua
