Chapter 13: I Want This!
"Technology?" Li Shimin didn't understand what technology was, so he instinctively asked, "What is technology?" Is that thing really as powerful as the virtuous brother said? ”
"Science and technology is the unified name of science and technology, the so-called science, refers to the knowledge system accumulated by human beings about nature, society and thinking, and the problem that science wants to solve is to discover the relationship between conclusive facts and phenomena in our world, and establish theories to connect facts and phenomena......" Li Qing raised his eyes and saw that Li Shimin looked half-understood, so he gave him an inaccurate but understandable explanation: "You can understand that people who study science are responsible for putting forward theories, And the craftsman is responsible for putting it into practice. ”
"I thought it was, it turned out to be a craftsman...... Li Shimin said suddenly, thinking that he had just said a lot of things in the clouds, mountains and fogs, and thought it was some kind of high-end new knowledge, it turned out to be a craftsman......
That's fine.
"Brother Li is a small farmer again, right? It's not your fault that the pattern is not big enough, you can see if your concept will change for a while. Li Qing has already found the classic "Saving Private Ryan" while talking, although this movie is a musty and cheap recruitment advertisement, it is absolutely suitable to show Li Shimin the cruelty of war.
People are all rebellious, even emperors are different, not to mention Li Shimin, who is always teased and teased by Li Qing.
Lao Li pouted and said: "It's not that my brother doesn't believe it, I also know the importance of craftsmen to the country, but I really can't imagine how craftsmen can get such praise from you." ”
"Brother Li, buddy asks you a question." Li Qing put the phone on the chair, raised his butt and sat next to Li Shimin.
"Say it." Li Shimin moved his position to Li Qingteng.
"What kind of weapons did the armies of the Shang and Zhou dynasties use, and what kind of armor did they wear?"
"It's all made of bronze."
"What kind of weapons and armor were used during the Qin and Han dynasties?"
"It's all iron, too......," replied Li Shimin.
"How about a spear of cast iron and a shield of bronze?" Li Qing asked with a grin.
"This ......" Li Shimin was stunned, this question was something he had never thought about.
"Look, that's the progress of technology." Li Qing pressed the play button, "If I say that in the future, there will be a long-range weapon that can hit eighty miles away, and a single shot can destroy the entire Lizheng Palace, do you believe it?" ”
Li Shimin almost didn't cut off his beard when he heard this, with a range of eighty miles? Can a single shot destroy an entire Imperial Palace? He looked at Li Qing suspiciously, a little unsure whether he was telling the truth.
If you want to have this kind of artifact, don't say anything about Tubo Xue Yantuo Goguryeo, he dares to hit Nantianmen.
"Isn't Brother Xian making fun of being a brother? How could such an artifact be owned by the world? ”
"How could it not be? There is also an artifact called nuclear weapons, which can completely wipe out the entire city of Chang'an from the face of the earth with just one shot. Li Qing clenched his fist and stretched out in front of Li Shimin, and opened his five fingers in the shape of a flower: "BOOM!" That's art. ”
"If there really is such an artifact, why worry about the world?" Li Shimin followed Li Qing's description leisurely, if there is such an artifact, what border troubles in the north and Tibet in the southwest will no longer be a problem, and the people of the Tang Dynasty can also enjoy a peaceful life......
No, what if it's a virtuous brother who fools me? Li Shimin is now in a very contradictory state, on the one hand, he is willing to believe that there will be these things; But on the other hand, due to the limitations of the times, he really couldn't imagine what Li Qing depicted for him...... Painted.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's really that what the virtuous brother portrays is too unbelievable......"
"Why don't we make a bet, bet that you will definitely list the development of science and technology as a national policy of Datang for a while." Li Qing raised his eyes to look at Li Shimin, who was hesitant.
"I don't bet with you." Li Shimin decisively refused.
"Tsk," Li Qing smacked his lips, pointed to the phone screen and said, "If you don't gamble, let's watch a movie." ”
"This is a Xiyi person?" Li Shimin asked, he was talking about the Ryan family on the screen.
"Yes, that's the story of Xiyi." Li Qing replied.
"What are these white ones?" Li Shimin is well versed in the principle of asking questions if you don't understand.
"It is a tombstone to commemorate the anti-French fighters who died in World War II." Although Li Qing said that he hated mildew and cheapness, the problem should always be viewed dialectically.
"World War II? What is that? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, as an emperor immediately, Lao Li was instinctively interested in war.
"World War II, which began on September 18, 1931 and ended on September 2, 1945, lasted for 14 years, with more than 60 countries and 2 billion people involved in this war, and the number of people who died directly because of this war was as high as 70 million......" In order to give Li Shimin an accurate comparison, Li Qing consulted the population data of the Tang Dynasty and continued: "It is about more than six times the population of the 11th year of the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan. ”
"Six-fold ......," Li Shimin muttered to himself.
At this point, the movie screen shifts to Omaha Beach.
The sea was high and the waves were fierce, and in the midst of the stormy seas, countless landing craft headed for the coast.
"Why do these soldiers wear only helmets and no armor?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask when he saw the clothes of those soldiers.
"Because it's useless." Li Qingyan said succinctly.
A shrill whistle sounded, and the people on the landing craft quickly twisted the valve. As the hatch slowly fell, the machine guns rang out like hell, and the soldiers in the landing craft fell like wheat.
"This ...... What is this?! How can you die without even seeing the enemy? Li Shimin asked in horror as he pointed at the MG42 that was firing wildly.
"The theoretical rate of fire of the machine gun is 1,200 rounds a minute, and the effective range is about 1,000 paces."
Li Shimin looked at the movie screen in shock, the shock of the machine gun was too great, even if those soldiers escaped into the water, they still couldn't change the fate of being shot, the thick layer of water couldn't stop the machine gun bullets at all, it was a completely one-sided massacre.
The wars he has experienced are all white-knuckle battles with swords and guns facing each other, how have he ever seen such a way of fighting? Even if you don't even know where the enemy is, you have already lost a lot of troops, if you put it in this era......
Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly inhale a cold breath, he didn't dare to continue to think about it.
"Is this the power of technology?" Li Shimin looked at the movie screen and asked intently.
"Brother Li's heart is moved?" Li Qing asked with a wink.
Li Shimin really wanted to save face and said that he was not moved, but after all, he chose to give up face for the sake of the inside.
He looked up, and two flames seemed to burn in his eyes.
"Brother Xian! I want this! ”
