The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin, his wife, and Li Chengqian all stared at the anxious grandson of the emperor in bewilderment.

My heart couldn't help but beat a drum.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the three elders, Li Xiang quickly explained.

"My master, he told General Fang Er just now that he has built a good baby that can move by itself, and it is made of steel. It can move by itself."

"..." Li Chengqian, whose face was getting darker and darker, wanted to shoot directly.

This villain, what kind of nonsense is he talking about, what is a baby that can move by itself, and it is actually made of steel...

Empress Changsun was more patient, she wiped the sweat off Li Xiang's face with a silk handkerchief, and asked with a smile.

"My dear grandson, don't worry. Tell me carefully. Could it be that your master has invented something new?"

Li Xiang saw the corners of his father's eyes twitching, and his eyes showed a fierce expression, so he subconsciously hid behind the eldest grandson empress, but although his actions seemed cowardly, his mouth was not at all cowardly.

"Grandma, what my master is talking about is a vehicle made entirely of steel.

No horses or oxen are needed, only coal and water are needed, and it can travel day and night, a good treasure that can travel thousands of miles in a day. "

"... Really what your master said?"

Although Li Chengqian really wanted to take care of his own son, he trusted Brother Chu Bi very much.

After all, Brother Chu Bi is such a person who turns decay into magic.

If he really said such words, then he would really be able to create such a miracle.

"Yes, my child wants to ask Master to take me to see it together, but Master said that it is still in the confidential experiment stage, and let my child feel it when the machine is fully completed."

"Hmph, Master obviously just doesn't believe that I can keep the secret for him. If that's the case, then it's my fault..."

Seeing Li Xiang's unhappy expression, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and he almost laughed out loud.

This little bastard, who speaks so confidently about selling his teacher for glory, really deserves to be the good grandson of the old man Ying Guolei, um, knows how to change things, and doesn't stick to one pattern.

"Chengqian, have you heard of it?" Li Shimin patted Li Xiang's small head with a smile, and asked Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian shook his head with a puzzled face. Fortunately, he had a good memory and quickly recalled one thing.

"A few months ago, brother Chu Bi once said that he was going to create an unprecedented new invention.

He didn't explain exactly what it was, but only said that when it was made out, it would give the child a big surprise.

Listening to Xiang'er's words today, I'm afraid nine out of ten are referring to this thing. "

"This kid, since he dared to call that kid Fang Jun, I'm afraid there should be a reason for this matter."

"The old man has only heard of Luban in the Spring and Autumn Period, who used a wooden bird to soar in the sky and never set for three days. If he, Cheng Sanlang, can make a good thing that uses steel as an ox and a horse can travel day and night, hehe..."

"Then this kid, he should become a master craftsman in the future."

"Puff..." Empress Changsun, who was listening carefully to her husband's words, was directly broken by her husband's sudden coquettish words, and laughed on the spot.

In shame and anger, I wanted to give my husband two claws, but considering my husband's body, I could only poke it a few times with the eye knife.

Li Chengqian over there also laughed several times, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to laugh at Brother Chubi.

Especially the kid in front of him, Li Xiang, whose eyes were wandering wildly, Li Chengqian coughed twice, and bowed to his parents.

"Father, child..."

"Since Cheng Sanlang made such a good treasure, how can he not be a father?"

"It just so happened that I didn't go to say hello to your grandfather for a few days. It's better to hit the sun than to choose another day. I'll go today."

"Great, grandpa, grandson is here to help you..."

Li Xiang couldn't help being overjoyed, with Grandpa Huang here, his own father would definitely not dare to touch him.

Seeing his own father holding Li Xiang's brat with kindness and kindness, the grandparent and grandson got along quite well.

Li Chengqian could only murmur in a low voice that his son would not teach, and father and son had passed.

Empress Changsun, who was standing aside, almost burst out laughing when she heard her son start to recite classic quotes from Cheng Sanlang's masterpiece "Three Character Classic".

"Okay, don't get angry with the child. The little guy is actually the best. Boys, you should be more skinny."

"If this kid is like you, it's not all good."

"Mother…"

"Let's go, the old man is also very curious about what kind of strange things Chubixian-in-law made."

#####

Cheng Sanlang and Fang Jun had already rushed to the Wanguoyuan Palace, and the guards at the palace gate had already become numb to Cheng Sanlang who often went in and out of the garden.

Fang Jun and Cheng Sanlang boarded the four-wheeled carriage in the Wanguoyuan Palace, and drove all the way towards the ancient Egyptian style garden.

Fang Jun seemed quite excited, chattering and asking Cheng Sanlang about the baby made of steel that could move by itself.

In the early years, Cheng Sanlang once boasted that if he could get rubber, he could make a steam engine.

At that time, I thought that brother Chu Bi was being silly, after all, brother Chu Bi had boasted too much, so there was no need to take it seriously.

But once he got serious about what he said, nine out of ten it was true.

In the past, those people from the Shang continent brought rubber tree species, and even brought a lot of rubber.

When Brother Chu Bi was in Liaodong, he had already started to make up his mind to make a good baby who travels thousands of miles every day.

But today, he specially brought himself here to show off. As for why he put it in the Palace of Wan Guo Yuan.

The main reason is that the Wanguoyuan Palace is wide enough, the terrain is open, and there are not many people inside, so it is easy to keep secret.

Moreover, what Brother Chu Bi meant was that this kind of treasure first impressed the old man, the Supreme Emperor, and let him have a taste of it first.

Having the real thing in front of people is far more effective than saying anything.

#####

Soon, when the four-wheeled carriage stopped in the ancient Egyptian style garden, Fang Jun saw the energetic Supreme Emperor.

He also saw a dark-looking, heavy steel object lying on the open space.

They are all as tall as a person, and they all have tall iron chimneys.

It looks, how should I put it, like a carriage with an extra head, and a chimney growing above the head.

In short, it is very weird, and there are many craftsmen there, poking around and pointing.

The four-wheeled carriage arrived, and as soon as Cheng Sanlang got out of the carriage, those craftsmen who were chattering hurriedly came forward to salute.

"How about it, are you sure there is no problem with the installation?"

Cheng Sanlang asked this group of craftsmen from the Datang Hantang Commercial Firm, and several mechanical engineering students from Cheng's University.

"Principal, don't worry, we have checked it carefully, and there will definitely be no problems. You can test the car here at any time."

Cheng Sanlang looked at this large prototype car carefully, and today was the first time it performed outside the laboratory of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Cheng University.

Although this is the first large-scale machine, nearly 20 small prototypes have been produced before.

After repeated verification and modification, it was made with the best solution.

This machine has also passed the test run in the college before, and there will definitely be no problems in terms of performance.

Otherwise, just bring it over, in case of a direct failure and can't move, it's no wonder that I don't get ridiculed by the Supreme Emperor who doesn't talk about martial arts.

"Since that's the case, hurry up. The old man wants to see if you can really make something as good as the wooden bird made by Lu Ban."

At this moment, Li Yuan walked up to Cheng Sanlang with his back on both sides, and said.

"If this thing is not as magical as you said, hehe..."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanlang rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor, if it really can't meet what the little minister described to you, then the little minister will definitely admit defeat and will not rely on you."

"Hehe, that's good."

After Li Yuan received Cheng Sanlang's reply, he sauntered back and sat down beside Concubine Yuwen.

Be ready to appreciate these novel treasures, is it as magical as this kid described.

Cheng Sanlang said before that he wanted to give him a good baby to admire, Li Yuan was of course happy, but Cheng Sanlang said that this thing can run by itself only needs coal and water.

Li Yuan felt that no matter how smart he was, he still couldn't figure out that coal and water could make these thousands of catties of steel move by themselves, so that's not a joke.

In the end, the two made a bet, and today is a good day to see the outcome.

"Your Majesty, I feel that your grandson-in-law seems very confident."

Concubine Yuwen whispered in Li Yuan's ear.

"Actually, the old man also hopes that he can win, if this thing is true to what he said, it can travel thousands of miles every day without getting tired, and it can carry far more weight than horses and oxen.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be another good transportation tool for me to move heavy objects after the Tang Dynasty, or to travel long distances. "

"Brother Jun, have you seen it? This is a prototype locomotive designed by me."

In fact, Cheng Sanlang also wanted to design a car prototype by the way. Let's put it this way, the locomotive is used for transportation.

And the car is used to carry people, one pays attention to strength and durability, and the other pays attention to portability and comfort.

However, in consideration of being greedy and chewing too much, in the end, we still specialize in locomotives that are more beneficial to the country and the people, as long as this thing can be promoted.

Then when people realize the benefits of such treasures, they will make cars in the future, and that will be a matter of course.

Besides, if the car uses this steam car, it will be a bit frustrating. After all, this thing is powerful, but it also makes too much noise.

People who can afford it these days are either rich or expensive. Who would like to be blackened by the fireworks and steam, just to try something new?

As for the car, let's wait until the internal combustion engine is developed.

Cheng Sanlang looked at these good treasures with a sense of accomplishment on his face, and he had been hiding them furtively before.

I just want to show the real thing and give everyone a big surprise.

Let the people of the Tang Dynasty understand that when the steam engine appears, it will bring unprecedented changes to the entire society and the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Let's get started, I hope you can become an instant hit."

"Yes, students understand, everyone, check the water level in the water tank and start the fire."

After the leading student representative agreed loudly, with a wave of his hand, the craftsmen began to move.

The special coal stove quickly lit a fire, and with the raging flames in the coal stove, it began to lick the boiler.

Soon, white steam began to bubble out from above the boiler, and the steam was so eye-catching.

Standing side by side with Cheng Sanlang, Fang Jun first saw a lot of white steam intertwined with green smoke.

Then he saw a long metal pole that began to move slowly, carrying a heavy prototype of a steam locomotive.

Driven by the metal pole, the wheels below it began to rotate.

"It's moving, it's moving, it's moving by itself!" Fang Jun widened his eyes exaggeratedly, stretched out his hand, and pointed ahead to the prototype steam locomotive that began to move slowly in the square. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

He saw, no matter what, there must be a steel car weighing thousands of catties, accompanied by the puffing sound of steam, accompanied by the heavy roar of the steel movement, it began to move behind this vast square stand up.

At this moment, Li Yuan stood up with a face full of disbelief, looking at the prototype steam locomotive that started to make a loud booming sound and began to move in the open square of several acres of land.

Cheng Sanlang patted Fang Jun's shoulder vigorously with his big hand, blushing, and muttered in a low voice.

"See it, brother, do you know what it means?"

"It means that the age of steam has arrived, and it means that Datang will enter the industrial age in the near future..."

At this moment, Li Shimin was sitting in the four-wheeled carriage that was speeding towards here, staring blankly at the huge metal car, as if it was smoking, spouting fire, roaring rumblingly, forward, forward …
