"Your Majesty, these are the first batch of telescopes developed by the academy specifically for military use. Do you want to try them?"
In the afternoon of the second day, Mo Lingwei and Yan Shaoning were personally escorted by Mo Zhong, Mo Yun and others. They brought two telescopes to the Hou Mansion and handed them to Li Zexuan. Since there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Li Zexuan came with the telescopes. Arrive at the palace.
Li Er, who was in front of the Long Case, immediately became energetic. He walked down quickly and said as he walked: "So fast? Show me quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already in front of Li Zexuan, and Li Zexuan handed the binoculars in his hand to Li Er.
Li Er took it and said in surprise: "So young? Can you see clearly? Did you cut corners for me again~?"
He had personally played with an astronomical telescope in the academy before, but the telescope in his hand, which was only a little bigger than a palm, was completely insignificant compared to the big guy in the academy.
Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you have wronged me. This kind of military telescope is specially designed to spy on the enemy during war. Of course, it must be portable. If it is too big, how can you bring it to the battlefield? You Despite its small size, its capabilities are not much different from the academy’s telescope!”
"Yeah?"
Li Er was a little unconvinced. He looked at the telescope in his hand back and forth, and then said: "Follow me to go upstairs and have a look!"
After that, he immediately walked outside.
………………………
Taiji Palace was the main palace of the Tang Empire, so it was also called "Da Nei". It was usually the place where ministers and officials met. Of course, it was also Li Er's office on weekdays.
Taiji Palace occupies a large area and contains three main halls: Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace, and Ganlu Palace. Taiji Palace is not a palace complex on the first floor, but has a second floor.
Li Zexuan and Zhao Song followed Li Er to the second floor corridor of Tai Chi Palace. At this time, the sun had set halfway up the mountain. From their position, they could see the gorgeous red clouds on the horizon. The sky was dyed by the sunset glow. It turned into deep red, like a magnificent red ocean, very spectacular. It is true that "this scene can only be seen in the sky, and it can be seen several times in the world."
Li Er squinted at the magnificent sunset for a while, then picked up the telescope and, as if he was a self-taught person, held the two eyepiece frames of the telescope in front of his eyes. In order to protect the lens, Mo Lingwei specially added rubber to the edge of the lens barrel. Compared with the hard and cold iron frame, this soft rubber is undoubtedly more comfortable for the eye sockets. Li Er raised the mirror and looked forward, and suddenly a man wearing a lens appeared in his field of vision. With his armored head, he could even see the hair on the man's face clearly. Although Li Er had killed many people in his life, he still couldn't help but be shocked when faced with this sudden appearance of a head.
Li Zexuan next to him could clearly see Li Er's wrist shaking slightly, and then returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, how is it? The effect of this military telescope is not bad, right?"
Li Zexuan laughed secretly and asked softly.
"Yeah, not bad~!"
After adapting to the ultra-far field of view provided by the telescope, Li Er was currently using the telescope to look for other scenery. He had no time to comment with Li Zexuan, so he just replied briefly and started "playing" again.
In fact, the effect of this telescope is not only okay, it is simply great. When Li Er was playing with the astronomical telescope before, he could see the moon hundreds of thousands of miles away and the stars tens of thousands of miles away. Those stars were originally far away. It was far away, so he didn't have much intuitive feeling about the magnification effect of the telescope at that time, but it was different now. Standing here, he could even clearly see the appearance and clothing of the pedestrians on Suzaku Street outside the Imperial City, just like When he stood next to those pedestrians, he saw exactly the same picture! This intuitive visual impact shocked Li Er, and he became addicted to it for a while!
"Ahem! Your Majesty, it's getting cold, you..."
After a full quarter of an hour, Li Zexuan estimated that Li Er had seen all the scenery that could be seen from this angle. At this time, a cool breeze blew from the west. Zhao Song couldn't help coughing twice and said.
Li Er then put down the telescope reluctantly and said: "Go back to Ganlu Hall!"
After a while, the three monarchs and ministers returned to the Ganlu Hall. Li Er looked at Li Zexuan with a smile on his face and said: "Well, I am very satisfied with this telescope! This alone makes it worth my full support for you to establish Yanhuang Academy~ ! Haha, this telescope was produced by the Qiquge Workshop, right?"
Li Zexuan replied: "Your Majesty, this telescope was polished by Yan Shaoning and Mr. Mo's beloved daughter Mo Lingwei. The workshop is now ready for mass production based on the technology they provided~!"
"Mo Lingwei?"
Li Er murmured once, and then seemed to suddenly remember who Mo Lingwei was. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and said: "Haha, you should have come up with the idea of this telescope in the first place, right?" Do you want to use them to fool me?"
Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the idea provided by me, but the rest of the work was completed by Shaoning and Miss Mo! They are indispensable for making this telescope so fast!"
Li Er smiled and did not waste any time on this issue. He took a few steps with his hands behind his hands and said, "Your workshop has recently produced a batch of such telescopes. The pharmacist and Zhijie have asked me more than once. I mentioned this before!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "I obey the order! I just don't know how much your Majesty wants? After all, the production of this thing is extremely complicated, and the raw materials are also extremely expensive!"
Li Er said with a bit of toothache: "You kid, don't fool me! How could I not know that the most important thing about your telescope is the four pieces of glass? And the glass in your workshop is made of sand!"
Li Zexuan didn't expect that Old Li knew so much, so he coughed twice and said: "Your Majesty, although the raw materials are cheap, the process is complicated! To burn a bag of sand into colored glaze, dozens of processes are required. If you want to grind this kind of lens for a telescope, the veteran craftsmen in the workshop will have to grind it for several days, and it may not be successful. This is all a cost..."
"Shut up! Then how much do you plan to sell this telescope to me?"
Li Er said with a dark face.
Li Zexuan stretched out five fingers and said cautiously: "How about I give your Majesty a friendship price of five hundred guan each?"
"Five hundred strings?"
Li Er glared and sneered: "Five hundred guan, you kid is not afraid of dying! At most, 150 guan, you ask the workshop to make fifty for the imperial court as soon as possible! Don't bargain with me, this is mine The bottom line!”
Li Zexuan said with a "heartache" look on his face: "Your Majesty, you are cutting off the flesh of my minister... Well, it doesn't matter, just one hundred and fifty guan, just one hundred and fifty guan, then I will contribute to the Tang Dynasty! "
