Chapter 442: Shipbuilding, Thoughts Extended
In the academy, Wang De, the head of the court, reappeared, but with a flattering smile on his face.
I didn't dare to despise the old man in front of me at all, of course, if anyone knew, it would only be done with His Majesty or a few mothers.
"What is needed?"
Shu An muttered softly, with a hint of thought in his words, and to be honest, he didn't seem to lack anything.
Of course, Li Shimin doesn't seem to be able to give what he wants, such as some electronic products in later generations.
After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but close his eyes, as if he was thinking, what else did he want in this era.
Wang De on the side also didn't dare to disturb, and Hou on the side, with a lot of envy in his eyes.
It would be great if the miscellaneous family could get such a promise from His Majesty, but unfortunately this is impossible.
"The dean must be worried about what he wants."
Su Dashan looked at this scene from afar, his eyes also had the same gaze as Wang De, and he muttered softly.
Su Dashan has naturally heard about the affairs of Chang'an in the past few days, and he must know that as a miscellaneous student in the academy, he still has to purchase a lot of things.
Of course, he also took the opportunity to visit his sister, and before these students moved into the academy, Su Xiaomei had already followed him to the princess's mansion.
Su Dashan naturally won't stop it, you must know that this is a big opportunity, and Su Xiaomei herself is also very competitive.
Basically, this sister doesn't have to worry, and even this sister even let herself buy a few more clothes and gave herself some silver taels.
also said a lot about the princess's mansion, Li Xiuning did not stop Su Xiaomei and others from free.
There are quite a few people in the Women's Army, even if they take turns to take care of the princess's mansion, it is estimated that it will only be their turn once in ten days.
Now Su Xiaomei is mainly studying with the women's army guards, so there is some tension in time.
"When will I be able to become a person like An Xuangong."
Su Dashan muttered softly, you must know that since he entered the academy, many things have been turned upside down for him.
For example, in his heart, the Supreme Majesty actually talked and laughed with the dean.
It can be said that this is not a picture that Su Dashan can't imagine at all, because he couldn't imagine that there is anyone who can be on the same position as this majesty.
However, the dean did it, even if he gave Su Dashan a lifetime, it was estimated that he would not be able to reach such a height.
Su Dashan's thoughts Shu An didn't know, but at this time, Shu An opened his eyes and had a lot of ideas.
"Tell Shimin that you want a shipyard, and if you want it, it's best to be Jiangnan."
Shu An's voice sounded slowly, originally Shu An had the idea of building a ship, as for why, it was naturally going to sea.
The small boats of this era seem to be sailors, but in fact, they can only travel on large rivers and cannot withstand the baptism of the waves.
Fortunately, although he is a liberal arts student, he has also studied history, and he still remembers the appearance of some European warships in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Of course, another point is that the shipbuilding technology itself is not weak in this era, but it has not yet begun to set its eyes on the world.
So I didn't think about HNA at all, and this time Shu An naturally wanted to be this crab eater.
"Yes, An Xuangong, your words will definitely be conveyed to Your Majesty in full."
Wang De said respectfully, what he was most afraid of was that An Xuangong would kick this problem back again.
When the time comes, he will be in a dilemma, but fortunately, An Xuangong is not like this.
Wang De quickly retired, obviously going back to reply to Li Shimin, while Shu An continued to fall into thoughts.
"In this era, ship technology is leading the world."
"But relying on ships alone is not enough to ensure safe navigation."
"I'm afraid it's not easy with artillery, but you can try a large bow and crossbow."
"Wait, it's completely possible to tie the explosive bag to the arrows of the bow and crossbow, so that you can be regarded as having a long-range means."
......
Shu An's thoughts began to diverge, knowing that he had thought about getting explosives on the trebuchet before.
It's just that this method is too risky, because if you don't place it well, then you will hurt yourself by mistake.
On the contrary, if it is used on a bow and crossbow, then it will undoubtedly be much safer, and Shu An can't wait to try it immediately after thinking of this.
It is important to know that there is a gap of 400 years between the application of gunpowder and the application of artillery.
In addition, Shu An only has one idea, so it is really not so easy to use the cannon for the time being.
But it is entirely possible to replace the role of a cannon with a ballista, although the power will certainly be much less, but it is completely acceptable.
"Sure enough, people are old and their brains are not bright."
Shu An couldn't help but sigh silently, the predecessor of the ballista was a crossbow machine, which was used to fight against the Huns.
However, it is not so easy to build, so it has not been used on a large scale in this era.
The resources of the Tang Dynasty itself are insufficient, how can there be such a thing as a ballista, and with the passage of time.
In fact, the difference in riding skills between the Tang and the alien races is not as big as obvious, and naturally the ballista has also been eliminated.
"I thought it would be easier this year, but I didn't expect that there would be so many things to be busy."
Shu An muttered softly, and then did not waste any more time, but sent someone to find out about the situation of the crossbow machine.
As for whether the crossbow machine has become a ballista in this era, even Shu An is not very clear.
It also takes a lot of effort to build a ship, and I don't know what Li Shimin thinks.
......
On the other hand, after Wang De returned to the court, he began to report to His Majesty what An Xuangong said.
Of course, Wang De naturally did not hide it at all, and said everything An Xuangong said, and he didn't even let go of his demeanor before and after.
"Shipbuilding?! What is Father's idea? ”
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and muttered softly, because he didn't understand what his father wanted to build a ship for.
"Your Majesty, doesn't An Xuangong want Datang to be too expensive."
Wang De said cautiously on the side, you must know that now the Tang Dynasty is stable, although there are many similar shipyards, they are all left by Emperor Yang of Sui.
And it is to make dragon boats, and in fact, it does not help Datang much.
"Perhaps."
Li Shimin muttered softly, but he didn't believe that this father would let go so easily.
It is important to know that many shipyards have been abandoned, and not many remain, but they are not of much value.
But Ya Father didn't say anything about the purpose, but it made this emperor have a lot of entanglements.
He wasn't worried that this father would do anything to hurt Datang, but he always felt itchy in his heart and wanted to know his purpose.
