Li Er nodded when he heard Zhang Nan say this, and agreed: "Qingquan, what you said is reasonable, I understand what you mean, this is better to teach people and fish, I also understand the truth, but what is this industrial base, and you have to explain it to me well." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The so-called industrial base is the general term for the industrial sector that provides the basic means of production for the national economy. For example, metallurgy, coal, petroleum, electric power, chemistry, materials science, machinery and other industries are the industrial base. Of course, Zhang Nan didn't know these words, all of them were found out by Zhang Nan with the system.

After hearing this, Li Er asked strangely: "I can still understand this metallurgy and coal, but what can I understand about this petroleum, electricity, chemistry, materials science, and machinery." I really don't know what that means. ”

"This materials science, this is it." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he pointed to the airbag floating above, "The definition of materials science is broad, the material of this airbag is related to material science, silk is also related to material science, and the clothes we wear are also related to material science. This is just Zhang Nan's own understanding, and Zhang Nan himself doesn't know if it's right.

"But what about the oil?" Li Er continued to ask.

"Oil? How do you explain this? Your Majesty, have you ever seen something that is dark brown and viscous, but it can still be lit. Zhang Nan thought about it and described the appearance of oil to Li Er.

"This ...... I don't know Qingquan, what you said is kerosene? ”

When Zhang Nan heard that Li Er had actually seen it, his mouth opened widely: "Your Majesty, have you actually seen oil?" ”

"This, I don't know that this thing is called oil, but it is made from the land, it is true, I generally call it fire oil, when marching and fighting, the arrow is stained with it, ignited and then launched, this is the fire oil." Li Er said.

"Well, then I'll go on, it's a simpler machine. Your Majesty, the carriage you are riding in and the hot air balloon we are flying in now can be called machinery, in short, things that can help us save energy and time to do a certain job can be called machinery. ”

Li Er nodded, signaling that he understood.

"This electricity, Your Majesty, the lightning in the sky is electricity." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he pointed to the sky.

"Can all the lightning in the sky be used for me?" Li Er said that he was deeply shocked, this ancient man was afraid of the sky, this kind of thinking can be said to be deep-rooted, and it cannot be eliminated by Zhang Nan with a simple sentence or two.

"This is natural, do you think that the thunder, lightning, and rain will not be related to Lei Gong, Electric Mother, and Dragon King." Zhang Nan laughed, thinking that Li Er would definitely blush after hearing it. Unexpectedly, Li Er said as a matter of course.

"This must have been made by the gods in the sky, otherwise how can I explain it."

"Then does the emperor really think that the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan really thought that the emperor did not work diligently and loved the people, which caused the disaster to be sent down by heaven?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

After Li Er heard this, his face turned red, if he admitted it, it means that he was not diligent enough to love the people last year, if he didn't admit it, then this is not something that the gods did, and Li Er didn't know how to answer for a while, but fortunately, Li Er wouldn't answer, so he slapped Zhang Nan on the head and said, "Don't divert the topic, continue to talk about what's going on." ”

Zhang Nan rubbed his head that had been slapped by Li Er, and said in his heart: "I can't joke with Li Er, Li Er is not a person who can make jokes." ”

"This locust plague, and thunder, rain, and lightning are all very ordinary natural phenomena, just like the sunrise and sunset every day, but one occurs more and one occurs less, but they are all natural phenomena, that is to say, they are not manipulated by the gods."

"Listening to Qingquan, what you say, do you know if there are gods in this heaven?" Li Er asked.

"I really can't guarantee whether there are ghosts and gods between this heaven and earth, but as long as you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of ghosts and gods? I think it is understandable that when the people believe in ghosts and gods, they go to worship heaven and earth and pray for God's forgiveness, which is just a kind of sustenance for the people, but if a natural disaster occurs again, then the inaction of the officials does not help the victims, but blames God for everything. ”

After Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he nodded again and again, and said: "Qingquan, what you said makes sense, as an official, he should protect the people, even if there is a natural disaster, it is a matter of God, officials must put themselves in the right position, Qingquan, what you say is reasonable." Li Er praised it, and Zhang Nan was embarrassed to praise it.

"I understand the industrial foundation you said, but how can these things help us Datang?"

"This, to put it simply, is to let machinery replace simple manual labor, the emperor thinks, this was originally done by a dozen people, but now only three or two people and one machine can be completed, so the rest of the people can do something else." Zhang Nan thought about it and gave a simple example.

"Well, that's true, but how do you start? I still understand this difficult truth at the beginning. ”

"This, this has to be Rong Chen to go back and think about it, and when there is a result, the minister will go to the emperor again." In fact, Zhang Nan already had a result in his heart, that is, the use of a steam engine, which is the prototype of the first industrial revolution, but the honeymoon period of Zhang Nan and Cui Yue has not yet passed, and at this time, Zhang Nan's mind is not changing the world, so Li Er still has to wait for a while.

"Well, then you have to hurry up, time waits for no one." After Li Er finished speaking, he looked into the distance, and suddenly said, "Okay Qingquan, fly to the palace, I have been out for a long time." ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, his eyes looked at the place he was, and then he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have good news for you." ”

Li Eryi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the good news, "Could it be that Qingquan, do you have an idea now?" ”

"No, no, no, no, the minister doesn't have an idea right now." Zhang Nan waved his hand and said.

"Tell me about the good news." Li Er asked strangely.

"The good news is, I don't know where it is, we seem to have flown too far and got lost." Zhang Nan said with a wry smile.

After Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, his face was suddenly full of black lines, and he didn't know what to say, it was like a bus driver running and running with passengers, but he told the passengers that he didn't know where to go, and he couldn't go back.
