Xiang Jun followed Li Xiao into Qiongzhou and headed north.
What he saw and heard on the way almost overturned his three views.
"Your Highness, what kind of monster is in that field?"
Xiang Jun looked blankly at the machine that was plowing the land.
"I seem to have heard this cry somewhere..."
"Wait! Why are there still people up there?"
"Boss." The spy said, "This is a cultivating machine, not a monster. Look, where the machine passes, the soil in the field is instantly turned over?"
"Cultivator?"
Xiang Jun was still at a loss.
"Okay, you don't understand what I said, why are you a hundred thousand? You kept asking questions along the way!" Li Xiao said angrily.
This cultivator is the first steam equipment he built.
But the technology is still far behind, and the size of the brake cannot be reduced.
Therefore, it cannot be used to manufacture land vehicles.
Because the size cannot be reduced, the speed is too slow, not as fast as a horse.
There is no hope of rushing, so we can only talk about the innovation of steam technology in the future.
Hearing these words, Xiang Jun really discovered that the Kuai field had already been plowed in less than half a stick of incense.
"This speed..."
Xiang Jun clicked his tongue suddenly.
In his eyes, there was even a deep shock.
When I was in Chang'an three years ago, I heard that the king of Yue, Li Xiao, was extremely intelligent and often invented some novel and weird things.
But he never expected that Li Xiao could increase the speed of plowing the land by more than ten times.
In the past, the people of Tang Dynasty used livestock to plow the land, and the process was very slow.
He couldn't imagine that if Datang had this kind of farming technology earlier, growing food would be at least ten times easier.
"Your Highness, do all Qiongzhou use this kind of machine to plow the land?" Xiang Jun couldn't help asking.
"I can only say most of them! This thing is troublesome to build and expensive, and there are less than ten cars in Qiongzhou." Li Xiao said casually.
"I see." Xiang Jun sighed.
How could such a good thing be made at will?
If this is the case, it will take many years to popularize Datang.
The group moved on.
But Xiang Jun's heart can't be calm all the time.
Qiongzhou is too weird!
There are too many things that are beyond his cognition.
Just like the road under your feet.
Very flat and very smooth.
Just like a marble slab, you can't find even the slightest pothole.
But the road from the port to here, at least a dozen miles, is all this kind of road.
He couldn't understand the texture.
In addition, the carriages passing by on the road were also of strange shapes.
In fact, it cannot be called a carriage at all.
Because the front of the carriage...
no horses!
He just saw a car moving on the ground.
The speed is even faster than ordinary carriages, it's outrageous!
He felt that he was so shocked that he could hardly breathe.
Suddenly, there was a loud voice from the sky.
Xiang Jun raised his head subconsciously.
I saw a black spot in the sky that was gradually enlarging.
Another oddity.
and many more!
Why is there someone up there? ! ! !
People are flying in the sky! ! !
Xiang Jun was completely dumbfounded.
Chapter 278: Detecting Intelligence?The pattern is small!
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded looking at the roaring machine in the sky.
Even Li Junxian, Zhao Yuntian, and Ye Tianchen were the same.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..."
Rao Li Junxian, who has always been calm, couldn't help swallowing his saliva at this time, and asked stammeringly: "This... is also a product of our Qiongzhou?"
"This is clearly a huge strange bird!"
Zhao Yuntian frowned and said: "Your Highness, it's not good! This strange bird even caught someone and flew into the sky, do you want to shoot it down?"
As he spoke, Zhao Yuntian stared at the machine in the sky, and quickly took out a compound bow from the horse's back.
At this time, unlike the others, Li Xiao had an excited expression on his face.
It is the aircraft that flies in the sky!
In the past three years, Qiongzhou has been busy with infrastructure and economic development.
For ships, aircraft, and even things like Barrett, they are all behind.
A few days ago, he had just set up a project to manufacture aircraft and building ships.
The building ship project is progressing very smoothly, and there are already three large building ships.
What Li Xiao didn't expect was that the building of the aircraft was actually very smooth, and it was also manufactured after the building boat.
This is definitely a staged progress!
However, the first-generation aircraft currently manufactured are very crude and cumbersome.
Because the steam engine has taken up a lot of volume and weight, only one person can sit on it, and some equipment that is not too heavy.
He knows that the technology still needs to be improved before it can be used more widely.
At this time, I saw Zhao Yuntian was bending over and putting on his bow, ready to launch.
Li Xiao hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
"That's our own!"
"This is called an aircraft, I should have told you before."
"what?!"
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Li Junxian and Zhao Yuntian were shocked.
"It's really an aircraft..."
A bright light flashed in Li Junxian's eyes, and he murmured: "It can really be made..."
He did hear Li Xiao mention it before.
But when he thinks that people can fly in the sky, no matter how he thinks about it, he finds it unrealistic.
How could such a thing exist in the world?
But now, what Li Xiao said has once again come true.
On the side, Xiang Jun and other members of the Privy Council were stunned when they heard Li Xiao's words.
"This... This mechanism bird was created by His Highness?!"
Xiang Jun asked in disbelief.
He was all stupid.
Can this also be made?
"Your Highness..."
A secret agent of the Privy Council twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you really a mortal? Is there a possibility that you came down to earth as a fairy?"
"Yeah, how can this aircraft keep flying in the sky? Could it be a spell cast by His Highness?"
"If you can fly, can you go wherever you want?"
"What is there on the sky? Can you fly up and have a look?"
……
Everyone started talking, and the scene was noisy.
It is really that the impact of the aircraft on them is too great.
Throughout the ages, there are many capable people who can leap several feet in one leap and glide in the air for a distance of more than ten feet by performing light kung fu.
But that's the limit.
And it will consume a huge amount of physical strength.
No one has ever seen the scenery from higher places.
And now, someone actually did it.
It's not some magical skill, it's a machine.
Simply incredible!
Just when everyone was talking about it.
The person who controlled the aircraft also found Li Xiao and others below.
Immediately, he controlled the aircraft to descend rapidly.
Finally, it roared past Li Xiao's head, landed slowly on the road, and stopped after sliding for a certain distance.
Li Xiao immediately led someone to ride his horse and approached.
"Land from?"
After Zhao Yuntian saw the person who got off the aircraft, he was surprised: "It's really you!"
"Your Highness!"
With an excited face, Lu Li clasped his fists at Li Xiao and said, "The second test flight of the humble job was successful!"
"the second time?"
Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lu Li, and said, "Isn't it hard to fail for the first time? You bastard, let other people handle such dangerous things!"
"Don't worry about other people's humble positions!"
Lu Li said excitedly: "Report to Your Highness, at present, this aircraft can carry a maximum load of about [-] jin, and it can fly for about [-] miles continuously. If it carries fuel, it can travel [-] miles back and forth."
"Fifty miles?!" Xiang Jun's expression was shocked, "How long will it take?"
"About the effort of a cup of tea."
The corner of Lu Li's mouth curled up, his expression quite proud.
