Chapter 602: Li Shimin drives

"Poet maniac, take me to take a look!" Li Shimin finally woke up from the shock and spoke excitedly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please come with your ministers." Li Hao bowed his head and led Li Shimin and the ministers towards the school classroom.

Because the land in Lantian is very large, there is no need to consider the area, when building the school, Li Hao did not build a teaching building, but built a relatively simple tile house, the style is similar to the primary school when he was a child. Li Hao took Li Shimin to the corridor, and with the help of the light, he could see the door number hanging on the door, only to see that the door number read: Class 2 of the third grade.

Li Shimin pointed to the door number and asked, "The second class of the third grade?" What does this mean? ”

Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a school founded by the minister, which is divided into six grades, and the students are promoted to the first level every year, but there are too many students in each grade, so each grade is divided into multiple classes, and this is the classroom of the second class of the third grade." ”

"Oh, I see." Li Shimin asked as he walked inside, "What kind of knowledge do you teach students?" ”

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the students here do not learn the Four Books and Five Classics, do not learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, but only learn physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, these knowledge, collectively known as science. ”

"Scientific ......" Li Shimin was thoughtful when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the Scientific Research Temple.

However, a gray-haired Wenchen couldn't help but scoff when he heard Li Hao's words: "Hmph, what kind of mess, it's all some sideways, don't learn the way of a sage, dare to call it learning?" ”

Li Hao sneered when he heard this: "This old man is joking, although the saint is powerful, he may not know everything in the world, and he has a specialization in the art industry. ”

"Bastard!" The gray-haired old minister suddenly glared and shouted, "You actually look down on the saint!" ”

"The old man laughed." Li Hao sneered, "Li Hao didn't mean this, Li Hao said, the sage is very powerful, but the sage is proficient, first of all, the philosophy of life, followed by literature, so Confucius is a great thinker and educator, but for science, the sage is not proficient." ”

"How can this be true? How do you know that a saint is not proficient in science, and besides, what science is! ”

They happened to walk under the electric light at this time, Li Hao pointed to the scorching light bulb, and said with a smile: "This is science, boss, you can also be regarded as a deep study of the way of the sage, please use the knowledge in the sage book to tell me, this lamp ...... Why is it so bright, why does it need any fuel, it can be lit. ”

The old minister was speechless for a moment, and could only keep staring at him coldly, Li Hao smiled indifferently, and continued: "There was a record in "Liezi Tang Wen", the original text is like this, Confucius traveled east, saw two children arguing, and asked why. One son said, 'I go near at the beginning of the sun, and I am far away in the middle of the day.' 'A child is far away at the beginning of the day, and the middle of the day is near.' One said: 'The sunrise is as big as the cover of a car, and in the middle of the day it is like a pan, isn't this small for the far and big for the near?' One said: "The beginning of the day is cool and cool, and the middle of the day is like a soup, is not it hot for the near and cold for the far?" Confucius couldn't decide. The two children smiled and said, 'Who knows more about you?' 'Dare to ask you, for these two children's questions, do you know the answer, is the sun near sunrise or the sun near midday? ”

Li Hao threw out this question, as if throwing a bombshell, blowing up the ministers to the outside, how could they know that the Confucian saints couldn't solve the problem, sure enough, Yu Zhining suddenly said loudly: "King Qiongnan laughed, this problem, the saint can't solve it yet, how can we know, does King Qiongnan know the answer?" ”

Li Hao really knows the answer, but he can't say it, because it involves astronomy and geography, the first thing to tell them is the earth, since the earth is mentioned, it will involve the universe and all kinds of galaxies, he can't say this, because he has no way to prove that they live on the earth, this is a provocation to Chinese deism, the emperor has used the imperial power to confuse the people, provoked the divine power, that is, provoked the imperial power, if there is not enough evidence, he will be targeted, in the West, Didn't some of the people in the Sun Center be burned alive as infidels?

Li Hao could only smile lightly: "Actually, I don't know, I raised this question, I just want to tell you that saints also have things they don't know, and there are problems that can't be solved, science, broad and profound, and there is no end, by no means any one can master it, learn endlessly, these four words, I don't need me to tell you." ”

All the ministers were silent when they heard this, Li Hao's words were like the truth, so they couldn't refute it at all, they could only be silent.

Li Shimin saw that the ministers were suppressed by Li Hao and intended to resolve the embarrassment, so he pointed to the light bulb and asked, "Poetry madness, tell me about this...... Why are electric lights so bright, and they don't need oil or fire to turn on? ”

"Yes." Li Hao said, "Your Majesty, since this lamp is called an electric lamp, then the source force that makes the lamp light is electricity, and electricity must be no stranger to Your Majesty, when it thunders, it will be accompanied by lightning." ”

"I've seen it naturally." Li Shimin said, "It's just that the power of lightning is extraordinary, how did you draw lightning down, and how did you use it to light the lamp?" ”

Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, this electricity is not lightning, but the electricity generated by a generator, electricity is very magical, formless and phaseless, there are many ways to generate it, it can be guided and transmitted through conductors, the speed is extremely fast, and the current is transmitted for tens of thousands of miles, and it only takes less than a blink of an eye." ”

"So fast?" Li Shimin was quite shocked when he heard this.

"Your Majesty." Li Hao continued, "Science is great and complex, students in the school need six years of basic study, three years of advanced study, before they can enter the minister's scientific research room for scientific research, such a complex problem, the minister will not be able to explain it to His Majesty for a while, otherwise science will not be worth anything." ”

"Well, that makes sense." Li Shimin nodded and said, "What others have learned after ten years of poverty, how can I understand it in an instant, it is because I am greedy." ”

"Your Majesty." Li Hao said, "Your Majesty, electric lights, is only the most basic use of electricity, in fact, electricity has a more huge role, electricity can be used as almost all sources of power, boats, cars, and other things can be driven by electricity, and the speed is extremely fast, far from sails and cattle and horses can be compared." ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin looked at Li Hao in surprise when he heard this.

Li Hao continued: "Not only that, Your Majesty, electricity can also boil water, cook rice, and heat the house, nothing can't be done, only unexpected." ”

Li Shimin was shocked and asked: "Then where does all this electricity come from?" ”

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has just said that the generator can generate electricity, with the current capacity of the minister, build a large power station, the power provided by several giant generators can maintain the electricity of the people in the entire Chang'an and even the surrounding radius of two hundred miles, if this is the case, from now on, the night of Chang'an, it will be like day, there are street lights on the street, every household has electric lights, and in the Taiji Palace, it can also be really brilliant, Your Majesty can imagine, what kind of day is that?" ”

Li Shimin suddenly fell into longing when he heard this, to be honest, he really longed for this kind of life, he no longer had to touch the dark at night, and it was no longer a black light after night in the city.

The ministers were very anxious on the side, they could see that Li Shimin was moved by Li Hao's words, but they didn't understand the aspect of electricity, and it was not easy to interject, so Chu Suiliang had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, King Qiongnan also said in the recital that there are steam engines and steam locomotives, no need for cattle, horses, people and animals, the car can move by itself, the ministers want to see and see, and also want to see if King Qiongnan is bullying the king." ”

As soon as he talked about the magical car, Li Shimin suddenly woke up and said more curiously: "Poet, where is your magic car, take me to see it quickly." ”

After seeing the electric light, Li Shimin began to believe in Li Hao, in fact, he believed in Li Hao very much, but what Li Hao said this time was too unbelievable, like a fantasy, ordinary people couldn't believe it at all, no wonder Li Shimin suspected at first, in fact, Li Shimin's willingness to come to Lantian has proved that he still trusts Li Hao, otherwise he will definitely scoff and think that he is a fool and a dream.

"Your Majesty, please come with your ministers." Li Hao said and took Li Shimin to a big alley next to the scientific research room, there was an iron gate in the alley, and through this iron gate, he entered the backyard.

There were special forces guarding the iron gate, and when they saw Li Hao coming, they didn't need Li Hao's orders, the two special forces opened the iron gate, and then saluted Li Shimin and Li Hao.

Li Hao led this Li Shimin into the backyard, and immediately saw the steam engine and steam locomotive lined up in front of him.

"This is the steam locomotive you are talking about?" Li Shimin seemed to be very interested in the steam locomotive, and stepped forward to circle the steam locomotive.

Li Hao said: "Back to Your Majesty, yes, the minister will show it to Your Majesty immediately." ”

Li Hao explained to Li Shimin that the steam engine is powered by steam, so it needs a certain preheating time, the larger the steam engine, the longer the preheating time, Li Shimin said that he could understand, and then looked at the steam engine with anticipation.

Soon, white gas was rising from the exhaust pipe of the steam engine, and Cheng Qingyun came over and saluted: "Master, the emperor, the steam locomotive can be started, do you need a villain to show it?" ”

"No need, the teacher will personally show it to the emperor." Li Hao sent Cheng Qingyun to the side, and then said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, please get in the car, and the minister will give you a ride." ”

"Okay." Li Shimin was very happy, nodded again and again, Xu Lian hurriedly stepped forward to help, Li Hao also hugged him from the left, the two of them helped Li Shimin to the co-pilot's seat, and Li Hao went around to the other side and got into the driver's seat.

"Your Majesty, the minister is about to start, please hold on to the handrail."

"Okay." Li Shimin clenched the armrest in front of him tightly with both hands, looking a little nervous and looking forward to it.

"Three! Two! One! Initiate! Li Hao shouted, dialed the gear lever, and suddenly the car fell straight backwards, which scared Li Shimin a lot.

The ministers also exclaimed.

Li Shimin hurriedly asked: "Why is this car going backwards?" ”

Li Hao smiled awkwardly: "The emperor forgives the sins, and he is in the wrong gear." Then he put the brakes on and stopped, put another forward gear, and the car sped forward slowly, and gradually faster, until it remained at about 15 yards, which was much faster than the carriage.

Li Shimin sat in the car and was amazed, and the ministers were also dumbfounded, it turned out that what Li Hao said was true, there is really such a magical thing in the world.

Li Hao drove the car around the open space, and finally stopped slowly, and before Li Hao could speak, Li Shimin asked excitedly: "This car ...... Can I drive it? ”

"This ......" Li Hao was a little embarrassed, he wanted to ask Li Shimin, "Do you have a driver's license?" ”

However, it was impossible for him to say this kind of two-handed words, so he could only nod and say: "Okay, Your Majesty will drive, and the minister will guide you." ”

"Okay, okay." Li Shimin nodded happily.

The two changed positions, Li Shimin sat in the driver's seat, Li Hao sat in the passenger seat and pointed: "This is the steering wheel, turn left, the car goes to the left, turn right, then the car goes to the right, this is the gear lever, push forward, the car drives forward, pulls back, the car goes backwards, if it is in the middle, it is neutral, the car will have no power, this is the brake, once you pedal hard, the car will stop, Your Majesty remember, after stopping the car, you must turn the gear lever to neutral." ”

"Okay, I got it." Li Shimin thought about what Li Hao said in his mind, and then pushed the gear lever, and the car suddenly started slowly and drove forward.

Li Shimin excitedly turned the steering wheel and shouted: "I drive, I will drive this steam locomotive." ”

Li Hao sat on the side and clenched the armrest with both hands, his face turned pale with fright, Nima, Li Shimin drove too scary, one moment to the left and one time to the right, it was so exciting, and he was so happy.
