About an hour later, everyone arrived at the directorate.
Lin Beifan led everyone to the lakeside.
At this moment, there was a student by the lake. He was fiddling with strange things and looked very busy.
When they saw Lin Beifan leading a group of people in official robes over, they were very surprised.
He immediately put down the things in his hands, cupped his hands, and respectfully said,"Greetings, Lin Siye and all the lords!”
"No need to be so polite!" Lin Beifan smiled warmly." Haitian, let me introduce you. This is a woman of unparalleled beauty. She is the current Saint Martial Empress!" The others were the civil and military officials of the court!”
"Ah! It's actually His Majesty!"
The other party hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
"No need for formalities!" The empress stretched out her hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Even though he stood up straight, he still did not dare to raise his head. His entire body was trembling, and his face was covered in sweat.
Obviously, this was the first time he had seen such a big scene and he was very nervous.
"Hai Tian, how's the result of your research?" Lin Beifan asked with a smile. I've brought His Majesty and the civil and military officials here to take a look. Hurry up and show us your results!”
"Yes, yes…" Hai Tian nodded. This is the result of the students…"
However, he was still too nervous and could not explain clearly.
Therefore, Lin Beifan stepped forward and said with a smile,""Before I show the results, I would like to ask Your Majesty and all the ministers a question. Can steel float in water?”
"Ridiculous! Steel was so heavy, how could it float in water? It will definitely sink to the bottom of the sea!" Gao Tianyao looked displeased.
"Yeah, how can steel float on water? It's impossible!”
"Lin Siye, why are you asking such a strange question?”
"Have you gone crazy from studying?"
……
Everyone mocked.
The Water Empress didn't say a word and looked at Lin Beifan calmly.
Lin Beifan smiled faintly and took out a piece of iron that looked like a boat from the oddly-shaped objects beside him.
"Your Majesty, and my lords, look, isn't this made of steel?”
After the empress and the other officials had a round of discussion, they nodded and said,"This is indeed made of steel!"
"If this thing is placed on water, will it sink?”Lin Beifan asked with a smile.
"It will definitely sink!" The officials swore.
"Alright, look!" Lin Beifan threw the metal piece into the lake.
The iron piece fell into the lake, splashing a lot of water.
Just when everyone thought that the iron block was going to sink, he floated up, bobbing up and down with the waves like a boat.
"This…" The empress and the officials were shocked.
Lin Beifan smiled." As you can see, although this thing is made of steel and is extremely heavy, it can float on water! Your Majesty, do you know the reason?”
"This…I don't know!" Everyone shook their heads.
"Siye Lin, this piece of metal is so heavy. How can it float on the water?" asked one of the ministers. It's completely unreasonable!"
"It's because of buoyancy!" Lin Beifan smiled." Water has buoyancy, so it can lift oars, leaves, and even all living things. Steel is no exception! The reason why he didn't lift it up was because he didn't meet the requirements!”
Everyone nodded in confusion.
However, in Lin Beifan's eyes, they were all pretending to know.
Only the Water Empress pretended to be the most serious as she stared at Lin Beifan intently.
"Siye Lin, what's the use of studying these things? Can it govern the country? Can it help the people? If he couldn't, it was just a little trick and not worth worrying about!”Gao Tianyao mocked.
"Lord Gao, your vision is too narrow!”
Lin Beifan shook his head and said,""Your Majesty, and my lords, think about it. If we study this principle thoroughly and build steel ships, what will happen to our Great Martial Army's navy?”
Everyone's expression changed and they were dumbfounded.
"Building a steel ship, this…"
"How is it possible to build a big ship with steel?”
"But if we build a steel ship…hiss!”
"Hiss!"
……
Lin Beifan's eyes were filled with fervor." If we can build a steel ship, we will definitely be able to traverse all the major water regions. We will be invincible and unstoppable! From now on, our Great Martial Army will have no worries!”
Everyone could not help but nod.
"Your Majesty, and my lords, do you still think that this research is useless?”Lin Beifan smiled.
Everyone fell silent.
Only the empress nodded her head approvingly.”
"If one day, our Dawu can really build a giant steel ship, we will definitely be invincible and awe the countries! He could rule over the various water regions and sea regions in a matter of days!”
"Minister Lin and this student, you must continue your research! When the steel ship is built, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”
Lin Beifan cupped his hands.”
The student named Hai Tian was ecstatic."Yes, student!"
Lin Beifan smiled." Your Majesty, and everyone else, before I introduce this thing, I would like to ask you a question. Do you think humans can fly?"”
"How is that possible? How can a person fly?”
"Even a top-notch expert who has cultivated to the first-grade Supreme Grandmaster can only jump higher and stay in the air for a longer time! It's impossible to fly!"
"Perhaps only immortals have this ability!”
……
Everyone shook their heads.
Lin Beifan pointed at a large balloon and smiled.""However, this lowly subject's item might be able to do it!”
The scene exploded.
"Impossible!"
"Impossible!"
……
"Everyone, please take a look!"
Following Lin Beifan's order, a few students lit up the balloons below, and the balloons quickly inflated.
Then, under everyone's shocked gazes, it slowly rose into the air.
They flew up to a height of seven or eight zhang. Fortunately, there was a rope pulling them down, or they would have really flown away.
"It's really flying!"
"It's flying!"
"How is this possible?"
……
The empress was shocked, and so were the officials.
Lin Beifan smiled." This is modified according to the principle of the Kongming Lantern. It was once named the Big Ball!" Currently, it could carry objects weighing about 10 pounds! In other words, it could already take a baby to heaven! Think about it, if we magnify this thing by 10 times or even 20 times, won't we be able to bring people up?”
"It sounds like it's really possible!”
Everyone looked at the big balloon in the sky, shocked and fascinated.
Flying was the dream of countless people!
For thousands of years, the people had left behind countless classic poems and legends!
It was a romance that was ingrained in her bones!
However, he also knew that it was almost impossible!
It was impossible for a human to fly!
But now, they actually saw hope!
"Good, good, good!" The empress said "good" three times and said in surprise,"Minister Lin, you've given me another surprise!”
" Your Majesty," Lin Beifan clasped his hands." Other than flying, this big balloon has many other uses!" If used wisely, it can rapidly increase the strength of our Great Martial Army and intimidate our enemies!”
"What use is it? Beloved minister, quickly tell me!" the empress said anxiously.
"As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you look!”Lin Beifan smiled and said," If we transport the big balloons to the battlefield and send people to board them, we will be able to see how many enemies there are and what kind of deployment they have!"”
"That's right. Why didn't I think of that?”
"With this divine weapon, the chances of winning are very high!”
……
All the officials slapped their heads.
"In addition, we can also survey the terrain!”
Lin Beifan smiled." There are many mountains in our country. The mountains are high and steep. It's inconvenient to walk in many places. Many of the terrains are blank! However, as long as they sat on the big balloon, they could observe the landscape from above!”
"Yeah, it can be used like this!"
"Wonderful!"
……
Next, Lin Beifan explained the benefits of the big balloon.
Every use was amazing!
The empress looked at the big balloon with fervent eyes."Minister Lin, we must continue to study this big balloon and strive to bring people into the sky as soon as possible!”
"Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan clasped his hands.
Then, Lin Beifan led everyone to a patch of grass.
The grassland had been destroyed and rice had been planted.
As for the students, they took off their outer garments and busied themselves in the paddy fields, looking as simple as farmers.
At this moment, everyone was actually a little uncomfortable.
The main reason was that the first two inventions were too amazing!
It was either the sky or the sea. It was beyond everyone's imagination and was extremely awesome!
But the scene before his eyes…
It was something that was almost commonplace. It was too ordinary.
" Minister Lin, this is…" the empress asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, before I tell you about this invention, I would like to share something with you!”
"Speak!" The empress nodded.
"This lowly official has had a dream of enjoying the cool since childhood!”
" I once had a dream," Lin Beifan said." I dreamt that the rice grew taller than the grain of sorghums, the ears longer than brooms, and the grains as big as peanuts! And my family and I were enjoying the shade under the ears of rice…"
The empress smiled." This is not only my beloved minister's dream, but also mine!" If rice could grow taller than sorghums, ears longer than brooms, and grains as big as peanuts, then there would be no famine or poverty in the world.”
"Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as the problem of food is solved, many problems are not a problem!”
"But what does this have to do with your invention?”
"Because I discovered that as long as the rice is crossbred and sown underground, the rice that grows will be taller and stronger, and will be more resistant to natural risks. The yield will naturally be higher!”
" That's why I'm encouraging interested students to study this area!" Lin Beifan said loudly.”
The expressions of the empress and the officials changed.
