"Your Highness, let me show you something interesting."
"What?"
Fang Zheng mysteriously took out a small rectangular bright silver box.
This small box is about one finger long and one finger thick.
Li Yuanzhao focused his eyes and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and pushed with his thumb.
The upper half of the small box popped open with a click and flipped to the back.
The strange structure inside was revealed.
There is a bump and a small black roller on the side.
Founder put his thumb on the roller and pushed it slightly.
With a crack, the flames stirred up.
After wiping it several times, a steady flame finally started to burn completely.
Li Yuanzhao's eyes lit up: "Hey, it's on fire! This thing is interesting. It's much easier to use than the fire discount. What's it called?"
Fang Zhengyi said proudly: "Lighter, have you learned a lot?"
Li Yuanzhao couldn't wait to grab it and play with it. He played with it several times and nodded vigorously: "Good thing, really good thing. This thing is very useful. What's the principle?"
"It's just flint and steel and alcohol. I went to Dongda University and found someone to make it in three days." Fang Zhengyi explained, "But it's not practical. The alcohol evaporates in a day. I have to keep pouring alcohol in the future. It's not as good as fire." Zhezi."
Li Yuanzhao immediately lost interest and threw the lighter back: "Then this is just a toy. It's useless. Why don't you use fire oil? That thing doesn't evaporate easily."
"It can't be lit. I've asked the School of Chemistry to research new fuels. Maybe we can find some useful ingredients in the fire oil. In the future, the four-wheeled cars you mentioned may also be able to use them." Fang Zheng smiled. road.
"Hey, that makes sense! But why did you suddenly remember this thing?"
"As soon as I remembered, I found someone to do it. Your Highness, why did you suddenly come to me today?"
Li Yuanzhao pondered: "Didn't you build a high-rise building in Taoyuan County? How is the construction going?"
Fang Zheng was stunned one by one: "It's almost done. The whole construction has been completed. Now we are renovating the surrounding environment and debugging some equipment. After it is completed in a few days, I am going to invite His Majesty's officials to take a look. What, are there any problems?"
Li Yuanzhao nodded and said: "I heard some rumors in the capital... Someone came from Taoyuan County and saw the tall building. When he came back, he built the Chuanlou building so high. It was only because of driving piles that he succeeded..."
"Fart!" Fang Zheng slapped the table angrily.
This kind of nonsense was spread everywhere in the construction site in my previous life.
I didn’t expect that such rumors could still appear now. It’s really strange!
"This is a miracle of engineering. What are you talking about driving piles? Tell me which bastard said that, and I will use him to drive piles when building the next building!" Fang Zheng was indignant.
After so many years of popularizing scientific concepts, rumors like this are still inevitable.
Li Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It's said to be so miraculous that I even talked about it with the restaurant clerk. I almost believed it."
Fang Zhengyi said disdainfully: "You can't believe anyone. Your Highness built the train himself in vain."
Li Yuanzhao scratched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "Okay, if you're ready, call me up and I'll follow you to see what's going on. I'll leave first. Several big businessmen have made an appointment with me today."
...
In Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Jing and other ministers were discussing matters.
Several small tables were set up on the ground, with melons and fruits on them.
The atmosphere was very relaxed, and everyone was chatting while eating.
In the middle of speaking, the eunuch came to inform.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Jianye would like to see you."
Emperor Jing waved his hand casually.
As soon as Fang Zheng entered, he pointed to an empty seat and motioned for him to sit down.
Fang Zhengyi did not sit down. He bowed his hands to everyone and said to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I told you about the skyscraper a few months ago? I came here today to inform your Majesty that the skyscraper has been completed. Done, look...when will you have time to go to Taoyuan County to see it in person?"
Before Emperor Jing could speak, Li Yansong became unhappy: "Marquis Jianye, do you still need to personally trouble Your Majesty to go to Taoyuan County for such a trivial matter?"
"Nowadays, the overseas situation is complicated and domestic affairs are busy. How can His Majesty leave the palace easily?"
Fang Zheng said calmly: "Not just Your Majesty, but everyone here can go. Let's go together."
"Master Hou, are you listening to me?" Li Yansong said displeased.
"I heard it." Fang Zheng smiled playfully, "But this building in Taoyuan County is extraordinary! It is the collective wisdom of Dongjiao University and countless craftsmen. It can be called the best building in the world!"
"I think that as the population of Dajing is growing rapidly and the trend of agglomeration in large cities is becoming more and more obvious, buildings like this may become common in the future, which is very meaningful!"
Everyone was amused.
He was still out of breath!
Let’s not talk about the train cannon, I think you are awesome!
Nowadays, you have to give some advice when building a house. Isn’t it a bit overwhelming?
Someone joked: "I have also heard about the skyscraper built by Mr. Hou. I heard it is more than ten feet high. As far as I know, only towers can be built that high, right? The house you built is intended for people to live in permanently. If you live on the top floor and run up and down every day, you won’t be exhausted!”
"You said that this population agglomeration does exist, but hasn't Taoyuan County already built a six-story building? I see, those six-story buildings are excellent. There is no need for the number of people in Dajing to increase sixfold. Build another ten-foot tall building.”
Fang Zheng smiled and said nothing.
He really couldn't refute what these people said.
In terms of practicality, skyscrapers are indeed unnecessary in today's world, and even seem useless.
However, it can be used as a technology display, a means of technology promotion, or even a landmark to attract people.
In terms of commercial value, there is no doubt that this kind of building will attract crazy attention in the early stage.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng said: "Everyone, your Majesty has been in the palace for a long time and is busy with state affairs. However, although state affairs are important, your majesty's body is more important. Combining work and rest is the way to maintain health."
"It doesn't take long, just one day. Let's go take a look and have fun. I, Founder, will use my reputation as a guarantee to make your trip worthwhile and eye-opening. Can you think of a time when I let you down? "
Um! ?
Many people nodded unconsciously
Li Yansong raised his eyebrows.
This is true, Fangzheng's whole work...as long as he doesn't flatter him too much, he still looks good.
That’s much more interesting than some random bullshit auspiciousness!
It has to be said that it is impressive, and I might be able to do a big job this time.
Fang Zheng faced Emperor Jing and continued: "Your Majesty, actually I still have some selfish motives. After the construction of this building was completed, there were a lot of rumors among the people, saying that the building was built with living people as stakes. If such rumors spread, it would be really destructive. The world’s people’s hearts.”
"So as long as His Majesty goes away, these low-spirited and malicious rumors will be self-defeating."
Emperor Jing smiled: "Okay, don't talk so much. It's not a big deal to go to Taoyuan County now. In two days, dear friends, please accompany me to see this so-called skyscraper."
