"Aachoo!"
Han Qiu was doing farm work in the fields.
Suddenly, he sneezed for no reason.
"Strange, who is talking about me?"
Perhaps Han Qiu did not know.
It was a machine-operated beast blueprint that he had casually given away.
It was enough to shock all the officials of the Great Tang!
At this moment, in Chang 'an.
On the Xuanwu Gate tower.
Li Shi Min and all the officials were shocked.
The two-legged mechanical ostrich actually ran faster than the four-legged horse.
Moreover, it was the White-hoofed Shadow, one of the most outstanding horses!
In other words, the ostrich could match the speed of Turkic warhorses!
It might even be worse!
"The heavens bless our Great Tang! The heavens bless our Great Tang!"
Just as the officials raised their hands to celebrate, one person stood where he was with a gloomy expression.
Li Shi Min noticed and asked,"Apothecary, why are you so unhappy? Is this mechanical beast not good enough?”
Yes, it was.
This Apothecary was the Great Tang's First War God, Li Jing!
Li Jing had a unique understanding of the military.
It could be said that he was the authority of the Tang army!
If he didn't like it, it meant that there was something wrong with this ostrich!
"No, Your Majesty. This mechanical beast is very good, so much so that it has broadened my horizons. It's just that"
"But what?" Li Shi Min asked.
"It's just that Minister Duan only managed to make five mechanical beasts in three days, and it was even rushed. If he really wanted to build an army of mechanical beasts, it would be time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, once the mechanical beast was damaged, it would require a large amount of money to build it. The cost was not as cost-effective as raising a horse.”
Li Jing's words immediately caused the surrounding officials to fall into deep thought.
That's right.
This mechanical beast was time-consuming and exhausting.
Most importantly, it was very troublesome to repair.
It's better to raise a horse.
Although a horse couldn't outrun an ostrich, the cost was cheap.
He only needed to feed the grass and water every day.
This time, Li Shimin was stumped.
If the financial and material resources were depleted, what use would it be for the mechanical beast to run?
Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Duan Lun spoke.
"Your Majesty, Minister Li's words are indeed reasonable, but I have a different opinion.”
"Oh? What do you think?" Li Shi Min said in surprise.
At that moment, everyone turned their eyes to Duan Lun.
The disadvantages of the mechanical beast were so obvious, what other tricks could he come up with?
"I observed it just now. This ostrich's feet are strong and powerful. Its claws are like barbs that can firmly grasp the ground. With the help of its wings,"
Duan Lun suddenly raised his head and said loudly,""Your Majesty, if I'm not wrong, this mechanical beast has another ability!”
"What ability?" Li Shi Min quickly asked.
"Rock climbing!"
Before the officials could exclaim, Duan Lun waved his hand at the guards on the drill ground and gave an order.
then
The five ostriches turned around at the same time and ran towards the city wall.
"What's going on? What are they doing?”
The officials 'puzzled expressions froze in the next second.
Because they had personally witnessed the five ostriches climbing up the wall!
The hooves of the ostrich were like steel hooks that stuck into the city wall, preventing its body from falling.
In addition, the wings that flapped non-stop assisted balance and increased momentum.
It was unbelievable that the vertical and smooth wall was stepped on by five ostriches as if it was flat ground!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the five ostriches climbed up the city gate tower and appeared in front of Li Shimin.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
"This, this, this is simply too perfect!”
Li Shi Min shouted excitedly.
Li Jing, who had a gloomy expression a moment ago, was also shocked.
"Wondrous item! It's a wondrous object!" "The Lingnan rebels rely on the mountains to oppose the Tang Empire." Li Jing exclaimed. Now that we have this item, what does our Great Tang have to fear?!”
The generals nodded in approval.
This item might not be suitable for fighting on the plains, but it could be used in mountainous battles. It was simply a divine weapon!
It might take several hours to conquer a mountain that was more than a hundred feet high.
Moreover, the number of casualties was also high.
However, once they had the mechanical ostrich, wouldn't it be a matter of the blink of an eye for them to attack the mountain?
As for the high production cost…
No matter how big it was, could there be someone who was lucky? Human lives were a matter of the heavens!
"Lingnan bandits, once my machine-operated beast army appears, you will definitely die!”
Li Shi Min said with a burning gaze.
In his eyes, he seemed to see the future of the Great Tang!
……
……
Back Mountain Village.
The afternoon sun was comfortable.
Li Chengqian lay at the door of his house, dozing off as he basked in the sun.
In any case, he now had the method to make salt.
Whether it was the King of Zhao, the King of Chu, or the King of Wei.
They didn't even have the ability to fight with him for the throne.
He could also relax and enjoy this short period of happiness.
suddenly
"Hmm? What is this? It smells so good!"
Li Chengqian smelled a strong aroma of wine.
The fragrance was like heavenly nectar, making him inhale continuously.
"I can't take it anymore. Whose wine is this? Why is it so fragrant?!”
Li Chengqian instantly lost his sleepiness.
He got up and limped to look for the fragrance of the wine.
In the end, he found it in his own kitchen.
There were several catties of wine in the iron pot in the kitchen.
The fragrance assailed his nostrils, making him unable to stop.
"Oh, I didn't expect Big Brother Han Qiu to know how to brew wine?”
Li Chengqian was overjoyed.
He picked up the spoon and took a small mouthful.
results
"F * ck! What kind of delicacy is this!"
Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he almost died of beauty.
The wine brewed by this country boy was actually tens of millions of times better than the royal wine of the palace!
