Chapter 438: Triathlon

In this triathlon competition, in addition to the excellent Tang Erlang, students from neighboring countries and many military attaches from small countries who came to exchange also came to participate in the competition and won the corresponding rankings. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, among the top ten, there are no people from a small country, all of them are excellent Tang Erlang, after all, the Tang Empire is the most powerful empire in the world, and the excellent sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty are naturally stronger than the sons and daughters of the surrounding small countries, and the Tang Dynasty Erlang has earlier contact with bicycles, and is more familiar with bicycles.

And the higher the ranking of the Tang Erlang, the more it can show the strong strength of the Tang Empire, so that the surrounding countries will not dare to challenge the authority of the Tang Dynasty.

"Aweng, I didn't get the first place, but next time, I will definitely do it."

Chen Xuanli's grandson looked a little lost, in the past horse riding competitions, he was always able to get the first place, so as to get the envy of others, but this time, he only won a dozen places, the gap in his heart can be imagined.

"If you lose, you lose, next time you will compare, raise your head, don't always look like you have lost your soul?"

Chen Xuanli doesn't value the results of the game, and when he doesn't like to see people who lose the game and get disheartened, this is a sign of no ambition and is very undesirable.

"General, your grandson is really strong enough, he has such a tall figure at the age of sixteen, it's really amazing!"

Li An opened his mouth and praised.

"Hmph, that is, a stupid big man, he can only be a martial artist in the future, and our old Chen family has not produced a person who can learn culture?"

Chen Xuanli seemed to have some regrets.

"Martial artists are good! I am martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, and learning martial arts is very promising. ”

Li An said.

Chen Xuanli shook his head lightly and said, "That's before, but what about later?" Since Li Shilang invented the ironclad artillery car, the surrounding countries are no longer opponents, no matter how strong the martial arts are, they are also powerless to compete with advanced weapons such as the ironclad artillery car, as long as the ironclad artillery car is there, even if the soldiers are all weak people, as long as the general knows the art of war, he can still win the battle! ”

I have to say that Chen Xuanli's vision is still very vicious, and he can see at a glance that the status of martial artists will decline in the future, after all, when science and technology advance, personal force is no longer the most important, after all, no matter how powerful martial arts are, they can't compete with advanced weapons.

Taking the ironclad artillery vehicle as an example, in peacetime confrontation exercises, the victorious side is often the side that is skilled in operating artillery, rather than the side with high physical strength and force, so it can no longer be said that individual martial arts can no longer control everything.

Of course, even if martial arts cannot control everything, martial arts are still very important, because the higher the force, the higher the physical fitness, and the higher the physical fitness, means that they can endure long marches and battles.

Theoretically, a weak scholar can also learn to operate an ironclad gun cart and strike at the enemy, but if he is carrying out a long-distance march and carrying out long-term and continuous offensive operations, it will be difficult for a weak person with poor physical fitness to adapt.

After all, even if there are pneumatic tires and a spring shock absorption system, there will still be bumps in the process of the ironclad gun car in the process, especially in complex and changeable terrain.

The passenger cars of later generations far exceed the ironclad artillery cars developed by Ang Lee, and they are driven on smooth highways, but even so, there are many people who will get motion sickness and vomit everywhere, and the most terrible thing is that the distance is not even half an hour before they vomit, which shows that physical fitness is also very important, but the progress of science and technology has seriously weakened the value of force, and it does not mean that force has no effect.

"In this way, it is my invention of these advanced weapons that has caused the status of the Tang Dynasty warriors to decline, I wonder if the Tang Dynasty warriors will be jealous of me?"

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"This Li Shilang is a little worried, the appearance of the ironclad artillery car does make people with strong martial arts not have much use, but it is also the blessing of the Tang Dynasty warriors to have such a powerful weapon in the Tang Army, so no one will be jealous of Li Shilang, everyone will only thank Li Shilang, it is Li Shilang who makes them invincible."

Chen Xuanli said.

Li An nodded slightly, feeling that what Chen Xuanli said was that he invented advanced weapons and made the Tang Dynasty warriors gain invincible capital, which was a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how could anyone be jealous of himself? However, the surrounding ambitious kings must hate themselves to death, especially Zampu in Tibet, as well as other ambitious kings, the appearance of Li An completely ruined their good deeds, making their dream of dominating the world come to naught, and even became a prisoner of the Tang Empire.

"Tell me, what does it feel like to ride a bike? How is it better than horseback riding? ”

"To be honest, at the beginning, there was some discomfort, but after adapting to it for a while, I felt that it was good to ride a bicycle, and the speed of riding a horse was completely determined by the horse, and the speed of riding a bicycle was determined by the strength of the individual's legs.

Chen Xuanli's grandson replied cheerfully.

"Bicycles are cheaper than horses, the cost of wear and tear is lower, in the past, it was the rich people who could afford to use horses, and now, ordinary people, can also travel by bicycle, which greatly facilitates the life of the people, many people can ride directly from the capital to Luoyang, and it will take a few days to arrive."

Chen Xuanli said.

This kind of thing is real, after buying bicycles, there are indeed many people who ride bicycles directly to Luoyang, so that they can save the money of taking the train.

In a certain period of time in later generations, many such things also happened, and the things that happened from time to time when traveling hundreds or thousands of miles by bicycle. Of course, after life is rich, such things rarely happen, unless it is some people who love cycling, idle and bored, will ride hundreds and thousands of miles in one go.

In addition, there are some aristocratic children, during outings, they also began to like to use bicycles, after all, this thing has only come out for a short time, it is a relatively new existence, and riding a bicycle is more popular.

Of course, with the advancement of science and technology, Datang will launch family cars in the future, and after the emergence of family cars, it will inevitably cause a new round of popularity.

But at present, the family car is still relatively far away, after all, the noise of the steam engine is too big, the size is also very big, the comfort of the ride is poor, if you want to realize the popularization of household power vehicles, you must invent the car that burns gasoline, and the premise of inventing the car is to first discover oil resources, and will extract and refine oil, only in this way, can the popularization of household power vehicles be realized, so as to improve the lives of the people, and facilitate the travel of the people.

Ang Lee is confident that he will be able to extract and refine oil, and eventually invent the family car, after all, so many impossible things have been realized, so what else can't be achieved? Now, Datang's scientific and technological talents have exceeded 300,000, and with the gradual development of agricultural technology and the popularization of food crops in the Americas, more people have joined scientific research and industry.

Ang Lee believes that as long as he is willing to do it, he will eventually be able to invent a family car with excellent practicality, whether it is to extract oil, not to refine oil, and the related industries of automobiles, although extremely complex, as long as there are enough funds and human resources, it will definitely be able to do it.

The Chinese Empire of later generations, under extremely difficult conditions, has developed nuclear weapons that are feared by the world, which has surprised people all over the world. Moreover, after years of development, Datang's industrial base has risen, and it can already process and manufacture many items for future generations.

Once the automobile technology appears, not only the popularization of private cars will become possible, but also the advanced ironclad artillery car will become more practical than before, and the combat effectiveness will become higher.

In this way, the streets of Chang'an City will be very clean, and there will no longer be horse manure everywhere, which is essential to increase the international prestige of the Tang Empire.

Li An opened his mouth to say his idea, and the shocked Chen Xuanli grandfather and grandson were stunned, and realized that Li An's ability was much more powerful than they imagined, and they sincerely admired Li Ang from the bottom of their hearts.

After leaving Qujiang Pond, Ang Lee returned to the R&D center to conduct research, but Chen Xuanli still couldn't hold back and revealed Ang Lee's idea, which soon became known to many people.

The oil and the cars in the ground were all new things, and the human mind was always curious, so they were very interested in the subject, and were very happy to spread it, and in the evening the news reached the ears of the emperor.

Knowing that there are oil resources that are better than coalcoal in the ground, and there are such broad application prospects, Emperor Li Longji is not calm, and after thinking twice, he immediately asked Li An to enter the palace to meet him, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he must figure out what good things are under it, and many things related to oil, if he doesn't figure these out, he can't sleep.

After dark, the eunuch of the palace went to Li An's other courtyard to announce the decree, and asked Li An to enter the palace immediately to face the saint, and Li An was naturally very clear about the reason for the face saint, during the day, he had already told Chen Xuanli about the oil, this mouthy guy, he must not help but say it, in this way, the emperor will definitely know, and the emperor will definitely announce himself to the palace to inquire, there is no doubt about this.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Ang Lee saluted respectfully as always.

"Li Shilang doesn't have to be polite, come over and give me a seat."

Li Longji is getting better and better for Li An, and in the entire Tang Empire, there are really few people who can sit with the emperor.

"Your Majesty Xuanweichen entered the palace so late, I don't know what happened?"

Even if he knew the reason why Li Longji announced that he entered the palace, Li An had to ask, this is the most basic etiquette, in case he guessed wrong, what if the emperor had something else to do with him?

"Yes, I heard about oil and cars, but the world knows that the ground is water, how can there be oil? This oil is better than carboniferous, but what is oil? ”

Li Longji looked at Li An with a puzzled expression, wanting to learn the truth from Li An's mouth.

Li An thought for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, where is this oil?" It is formed by the melting of the stones in the ground, which is a black liquid, which looks similar to the ink used for writing, but after all, it is oil, so it is much thicker than ink, and it has the meaning of oil. ”

The reason why I didn't tell the truth was because the formation process of oil was too complicated, and it would not be clear at all for a while, and it was very difficult to explain.

"The stones in the ground melted and formed a black liquid like ink? How is this possible, Li Shilang is really sure that there is black oil in the ground? ”

Li Longji asked seriously.

"Your Majesty, Weichen can be sure that there is indeed black oil in the ground, but not everywhere has it, most places have it, and only a few locations have it."

Li An said seriously.

"There is a black liquid in the ground in a few places, can Li Shilang know where it is? Does my Datang have this black oil? ”

Li Longji asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, my Datang is vast, of course there is black oil, but there are only a few places, and a large amount of oil is in the west, that is, under the desert of the Great Food Country."

Ang Lee replied seriously.

"A lot of oil is under the desert of the Great Food Country?"

Li Longji looked puzzled, looked at Li An and asked seriously: "Regardless of the oil of the Great Food Country, where is the oil of my Datang?" Is it clear to Li Shilang? ”

"Your Majesty, where the oil is, it must be explored to know, and Weichen can only know the approximate location, the specific location, it is really not clear."

Ang Lee could only tell the truth.

"Where is that?"

Li Longji then asked.

"Your Majesty, the place where my Datang contains the most oil should be in Hebei Province, and the specific location will not be known until after future exploration."

Li An replied.
