"What is this?" The wooden box was opened, revealing the contents inside, which looked strange and was not a Great Qin thing at all.

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, but I can't tell a clue.

This thing is so strange, the top is round, there are two pillars in the middle, and under the pillars is a vessel that looks like cooking, but it is sealed.

"Your Majesty, could this be a big killer?" Some courtiers speculated.

It's no wonder that he guessed so much, some time ago in the siege of the thief army, something made of iron appeared, this thing is very terrifying, and the unknown thing in front of him is also made of iron, which makes people have to doubt.

In other words, their cognition was captured by the Iron Killer, and when they saw an unknown Iron Weapon, they subconsciously thought of the Mass Killer.

Feng Qu shook his head and said, "No, the big killer has an iron pipe, and most of these things are round, and they don't seem to be lethal." ”

Ying Zheng also nodded.

So, what kind of bizarre thing would it be if it wasn't a big killer? What does this thing do?

Everyone looked at each other.

"Could it be Tu'an's tribute to our Great Qin?" It was said.

This argument is unreasonable, the two countries are not in a subordinate relationship, and they will not pay tribute for no reason.

"What does Tuan mean by that? Could it be that throwing this thing away will make my Great Qin regret it? King Tuan is also too whimsical. Some ministers remembered what Tu'an's envoy had just said, stepped out of the ranks, and said to Yingzheng, "Your Majesty, this thing is just a thing to scare, not to be afraid, there is no need to take it to heart at all, please deal with it." ”

Such a frightening thing looks bad luck, so it should be destroyed and killed Tu'an's bad intentions.

Feng Quji disagreed, and suggested with his hand: "Your Majesty, Tu'an's meaning is difficult to figure out, and the minister suggests that you should first understand what this thing is." ”

The ministers nodded, this thing is bizarre, and it is safe to figure it out.

However, although Great Qin has a vast territory, no one necessarily understands this thing, and there is no difference between saying it and not saying it.

Feng Quji saw their thoughts and continued to suggest: "Maybe Li Zhao knows it, and he can summon the upper hall." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, since Li Zhao's kid knows Spanish, maybe he can really know what this is.

"Good!"

Feng Qujian was overjoyed, his suggestion actually meant to let Li Zhao show up in the main hall, Li Zhao was deprived of his authority, and he was very unhappy!

He is old and refined, and he wants to do something to doze off and send pillows, after all, it is beneficial and harmless, not to mention, he still appreciates this kid.

"The minister is willing to go to Chang'an Township to summon Li Zhao."

Ying Zheng sneered, waved his hand and rejected Feng Quji, but glanced at the curtain unkindly.

"Li Zhao, don't wait for a while at this time."

"No!" In the puzzled eyes of everyone, only to hear a response from within the curtain, and a person walked out, he was Li Zhao.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly, he was obviously well disguised, but he was still discovered and had to come out.

Seeing Li Zhao, everyone looked at each other, wondering why he appeared here, but this was not the time to dwell on this issue, so they looked at him fiercely, hoping that he could reveal their doubts for everyone.

"Hey, hey!" Feng Qujian greeted him enthusiastically, and actually smiled 'hehe', "General Li, don't come unharmed, this thing has to bother you." ”

The gesture is even more than usual.

Of course, Li Zhao understood why Feng Quji was so enthusiastic, so he smiled gratefully at Feng Quji.

As a lord, it is taboo to appear in the court without an edict, Feng Quji did this to tell some people with ulterior motives that he was on Li Zhao's side, and if anyone could not get along with Li Zhao, he would not be able to get along with him.

Li Zhao arched his hand: "Xie Feng is concerned, Li Zhao is fine." ”

Hearing everyone's discussion just now, he naturally knew what Feng Xiang wanted him to do, so he walked towards the unknown thing and squatted down to observe.

What appeared in front of me was a strange contraption of a circle made of an unknown material, a sphere in simple terms, with a tray-like thing under the sphere, two tubes connected to it, and a pot underneath the tube, but sealed.

There is a cover in the seal, which can be opened when twisted.

Seeing this, Li Zhao pondered for a while, and his face showed a look of astonishment.

If his guess is correct, this thing should be a steam ball.

The spinning ball was invented by the ancient Greek mathematician Herous in the 1st century AD.

Although it is not useless, it is the predecessor of the steam engine.

Around 1679, the French physicist Denis Pappin made the first working model of the steam engine, which actually used the working principle of the steam ball.

In other words, something that should not have appeared in this era appeared in advance, and it seems that it is a demon made by people.

Seeing Li Zhao's sudden appearance, everyone hurriedly urged, "General Li, what is this, tell me quickly." ”

Li Zhao didn't hide it either, saying: "Steam to turn the ball!" ”

"Steam Ball? What? "No one has heard of it.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly and explained to this group of people what is the steam ball is to play the piano to the cow, or to be practical in practice, so he didn't answer, so he asked people to bring some water.

Soon a servant brought water, and he unscrewed the lid of the sealed pot below, poured the water into it, and when he had reached a certain point, he called for firewood, lit it with a sickle, and burned it under the sealed pot.

It was bizarre, but no one bothered him.

With the sound of boiling water in the pot, Li Zhao motioned for everyone to look at the sphere above.

Everyone watched intently, and soon, for some reason, the circle that had been stationary actually moved, and kept turning in circles, and there was a trace of steam coming out of it, which was very bizarre.

"See clearly, this is the steam ball, after boiling the water in it, the water gushes up, thereby pushing the circle of rotation, which is called the steam ball."

Li Zhao explained.

"I see!" A minister suddenly realized, "What kind of terrifying thing is my Dao, it turned out to be for play, it seems that Tu'an was afraid of my Daqin, so he gave it away." ”

After speaking, many courtiers brushed up their beards and nodded in agreement.

This thing will only turn in circles, not very powerful, no wonder everyone has such thoughts, but Li Zhao sneered in his heart when he heard it.

[What a bunch of idiots, who don't think about why the circle turns in circles, but say it's a thing to play with, ridiculous! It's even a horror! 】

Indeed, since there is a steam turnaround in this era, it is difficult to say that the steam engine will not appear, and when the steam engine appears, it will be a fatal revolution.

In fact, the emergence of the Age of Sail is largely due to the emergence of the steam engine, which also changed the world subversively.

It can be said that if a steam engine really appears, it will be a disaster for Daqin, and it will be the most terrifying thing.
