"Your Majesty, if engineering is developed to its extreme, it is indeed possible to realize interstellar flight, but there is still a long way to go in the middle, which may take decades or hundreds of years~!"
Li Zexuan was speechless for a long time, then he looked into Li Er's burning eyes and replied.
In the previous life, the United States, which had been established for more than 100 years, relied on its advanced and complete industrial system to launch the Apollo project that began in May 1961 and ended in December 1972, achieving the first moon landing in human history.
The entire Apollo program lasted about 11 years and cost more than 25 billion yuan, accounting for about 20% of the total scientific research and development funding of the United States that year. At the peak of the project, 20,000 companies, more than 200 universities, and more than 80 scientific research institutions participated in the project, with a total number of more than 300,000 people. It can be said that the United States is almost striving to complete the first moon landing plan. Nationwide power!
Even if a country as powerful as the United States is like this, it would be a fantasy for the Tang Dynasty, a feudal dynasty that did not even have a sound industrial system, to complete space travel! Not to mention decades, even one or two hundred years will be difficult!
"Decades? Hundreds of years?"
Li Er's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he murmured: "How much I want to live for hundreds more years~!"
Li Zexuan thought to himself that if Li Er had listened to Han Lei's "Borrow from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", would he also sing a song to his heart's content right now?
Feng Zhidai, who was standing behind Li Er, couldn't help but be secretly frightened after hearing the conversation between Li Er and Li Zexuan.
In terms of official position, Feng Zhidai is actually not qualified to stand here tonight, but as a Weiwei Shaoqing, he has the duty to accompany the driver, and for some unknown reason, Li Er seemed to be afraid that he would forget, Someone was specially sent to inform him to accompany him to Yanhuang Academy tonight, so he came.
Although he hasn't used this telescope yet, from Li Er's expression and a few words, he can probably imagine what Li Er is describing. After hearing Li Zexuan's answer, he couldn't help but feel a huge wave in his heart!
Because Li Zexuan did not directly give Li Er a completely negative answer, but said decades or hundreds of years!
This task that seems completely impossible to ordinary people has turned into a possible goal for Li Zexuan. This has completely subverted Feng Zhidai's cognition!
During the time he came to Chang'an, he collected a lot of information about Li Zexuan. Some things became more and more surprising to him as he read them. He became more and more confused about Li Zexuan.
Tonight is the first time he has come to Yanhuang Academy. The majestic academy is like a fairy palace standing on the top of the cloud mountain. However, Li Zexuan, a mortal who is younger than him, seems to have abilities beyond the immortals. The idea of interstellar flight came as soon as he opened his mouth, completely breaking his cognition.
Feng Zhidai felt that Li Zexuan's ability was more terrifying than the so-called grandmaster's martial arts! Individual bravery can still defeat him, but what can he use to fight against this advanced power that he cannot understand? If you are an enemy of such a person, you may not even know how you died when you die, right?
At this moment, Feng Zhidai was deeply grateful for his original decision. Li Er himself was difficult to defeat, and with the help of people like Li Zexuan, Feng Zhidai felt that as long as the Feng family showed any disloyalty, they would definitely die in an ugly way. At the same time, he was also grateful for his father's wise decision. Earlier, some tribes under his Feng family had persuaded Feng An to make himself king, but Feng An refused at that time. Now it seems that Jiang is still Old and spicy!
At this time, Cheng Yaojin had already come down from the platform where the telescope was placed. The other ministers came forward to watch the moon in order according to their rank and seniority. Old Cheng kept muttering about "no fairies" and "boring". "Son" and other words, it seems that he is very disappointed.
Li Er had come to his senses a little now, and he whispered to Li Zexuan earnestly: "Develop Yanhuang Academy well. Although I will not have the opportunity to go up there in my lifetime, I hope that one day my descendants will be able to leave this land and go to Look elsewhere!”
Li Zexuan felt a toothache inexplicably. Lao Li said this very lightly, but he didn't want to dampen Li Er's enthusiasm, so he responded: "Yes, Your Majesty! Engineering will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations~"
"Um!"
Li Er nodded and looked up at the sky. Thinking of the vast starry sky he had seen before, he couldn't help but sigh. It is estimated that that scene will stay in his mind for a long time. !
"Pangu was about to die and transformed into the sun and the moon. His left eye was the sun and his right eye was the moon. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness Western Classic" also records that Chang Xi, the wife of Emperor Jun, was born in the twelfth month of the month. She began to bathe in the middle of the month. Rabbit and toad. But from what I saw, the moon seems to be deserted! Sure enough, seeing is believing for all things in the world!"
(In ancient legends, the sun and moon were transformed from the eyes of the great god Pangu. The Classic of Mountains and Seas also said that Emperor Jun’s wife Chang Xi gave birth to twelve moons. Emperor Jun is a figure in the Yin and Shang national mythology)
After Lao Fang looked at the moon through a telescope, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey! Let me tell you, Lao Fang, if there is no fairy daughter on the moon, there will be no fairy daughter. If you are so polite and complaining here, you won't be afraid of my sister-in-law when the time comes... Hehe!"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but joked after hearing Fang Xuanling's comment for a long time.
Everyone burst into laughter. There were very few people who didn't know that Fang Xuanling was afraid of his wife.
"You! Cheng Zhijie, if you continue to talk so freely, do you believe that I will go to your house and tell your siblings what you were whispering about before?"
Fang Xuanling blushed, pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said angrily.
As the saying goes, scolding people does not reveal their shortcomings, but this old guy Cheng Yaojin is really wicked.
These people were joking with each other here, but there was never a shortage of people around the telescope. The courtiers who had never used the telescope came up one by one to "have a taste". After about an hour, almost most of the ministers had experienced the telescope. At that time, a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, with a jade-like complexion and a graceful demeanor walked out of the crowd. It was Li Chunfeng!
He is just a small official in the Taishi Bureau now, so he is not qualified to be here tonight.
He heard that Tai Shi Cheng mentioned to him today that Li Er would take courtiers of third rank or above to Yunshan to observe the moon with Li Zexuan's newly made telescope tonight. He was curious and went to Li Er in person to obtain such a quota.
When Li Chunfeng met Li Er for the first time this year, his accomplishments in calendaring left a very deep impression on Li Er. Hearing that Li Chunfeng also wanted to go to the academy to watch the moon, Li Er agreed after thinking about it.
At this moment, seeing this man in Taoist robes also using a telescope, Li Zexuan was curious and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Dare I ask who the chief is..."
Li Chunfeng saluted with a smile and said: "I have met the Marquis of Yong'an, Huang Guanzi!"
