Before Zhu Cixiang could answer, Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "In the days to come, the situation that has not changed much in the past thousands of years will change. What I just said is by no means alarmist. Do you remember it?"
"My son, I will remember it!" Zhu Cixiang did not dare to neglect and replied quickly and respectfully.
At this time, he was indeed a little shocked. I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty had become stronger again, but I didn't expect that it turned out that there were still many enemies. The world was still not peaceful!
As for the cabinet ministers, etc., although they have much more experience than the prince, their vision is actually limited to the country, and at most the surrounding areas. Now that Emperor Chongzhen has raised their vision to the whole world, many of them can't help but fall into deep thought.
After Emperor Chongzhen told the prince, he walked to the side of the Franco machine gun and stood there, and then said to the prince: "You should know the advantages and disadvantages of this Franco machine gun and the general gun. Then I will I would like to ask, can we combine the advantages of these two types of artillery?"
Hearing this, Zhu Cixiang couldn't help but turn his head to look at the surrounding crowd, trying to find someone.
Emperor Chongzhen saw him like this and knew that he was looking for Bi Maokang in the war. To be an expert in firearms, he is the one. If he says yes, then yes, if he says no, then probably not.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not rush the prince and just looked at him.
Zhu Cixiang quickly found Bi Maokang based on the ranking of his official positions. However, at this time, Bi Maokang lowered his head and was thinking about something. He couldn't get any hint at all. He remembered that his father was asking a question, so he had to turn around obediently and answer truthfully. Said: "I don't know!"
In response, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, but if you become the emperor in the future, you must know how to guide your ministers to work hard in good directions. For example, what I just said, etc. Can the important weapon of the military and state have the advantages of both? Even if it cannot be solved immediately, you can set a goal and let the ministers try to solve it. If it can be invented, then the power of my Ming Dynasty's artillery will definitely increase! "
"My lord, I understand!" After hearing this, the prince immediately responded respectfully.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen walked to the next ornament, but it was a teapot placed on the stove.
When everyone saw this scene, they became curious again. The problems caused by the previous artillery were all related to the important military weapons, and it was understandable that the emperor was concerned about them. But what will the emperor teach the prince about this teapot now?
It’s impossible to say that asking the prince to drink more tea is good for his health? It's also impossible to ask the prince not to drink tea and waste tea leaves?
No matter how you think about it, with so many people present, no one can guess what the emperor wants to explain with this teapot! Of course, if there are people present who have traveled through time four hundred years later, they might be able to guess it.
"Light the fire!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered lightly, then turned around and walked to his throne, sitting down to rest first.
When the others heard this, they all looked at each other. What is going on? Could it be that after the emperor boiled this teapot, he gave each person a cup of tea to keep them warm?
Not long after, the water in the teapot began to boil, and streams of white gas came out of the spout.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he asked the prince: "The water in this teapot has been boiled. Do you have any ideas?"
Hearing this, not only the prince, but also everyone else stared at the teapot. However, no one found anything out of the ordinary, which made it even more strange.
The prince was surprised. He always had to answer his father's questions, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "My son, it seems to be no different from what he saw elsewhere!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and nodded to Lan Tianbao who was waiting beside him.
So, under the gaze of everyone, Lan Tianbao walked to the boiling teapot, took out a special stopper from his sleeve, blocked the spout tightly with a little effort, and then retreated.
Emperor Chongzhen then said to Zhu Cixiang: "If you continue reading, tell me if you have any ideas!"
After hearing this, Zhu Cihong agreed, and then stared at the teapot curiously, wondering what strange things would happen? At least something weird should be happening, hence the idea isn't it!
Others in the courtyard were also curious. Some of them had never seen a teapot being boiled at all, and some had seen it, but no matter who they were, they didn't understand what would happen next that would make the emperor ask the prince for his thoughts?
After a while, the lid of the pot was pushed up, revealing a gap, and then fell back down. After waiting for a while, there was only this situation, which happened over and over again. Apart from that, no other strange situations happened.
Zhu Cihong was not a prince who was indifferent to the four body parts and the five grains. He had seen the tea maker before. Now he looked carefully for a long time and found that there was no difference, so he became depressed. Why is my father's lecture today so different? It is completely different from the previous lectures given by the ministers. I can't figure it out at all. What should I do? Father is still waiting for an answer!
In the end, he had no choice but to tell Emperor Chongzhen the truth again: "Father, I looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything different. It's the same as ordinary ones. This... really doesn't have any special ideas. !”
Emperor Chongzhen listened and did not reprimand him. This made the prince feel more comfortable. Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "Go over and gently press the lid of the pot with your hand. But be careful not to get burned by the steam." !”
Hearing this, Zhu Cixiang felt a little curious and grateful, so he bowed in agreement and walked over.
Everyone around him was staring at him, wanting to know what special thing would happen next? Some of them certainly know what will happen if they hold it down with their hands. However, they didn't think there was anything special, so naturally they were equally curious.
Zhu Cixi walked over and carefully held the lid of the pot. Then, he felt force pushing the lid, so he used a little more force and continued to press it, but the force against the lid slowly became stronger and stronger, forcing him to press it. I can only continue to increase my strength.
After a while, he didn't dare to press it anymore, because Emperor Chongzhen had told him to press the lid gently.
So, as soon as he let go, the pot lid was pushed higher than ever before, and then fell back.
He turned around and faced Emperor Chongzhen. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Father, there seems to be someone inside this teapot pushing the lid hard. As long as I use force, he will also push hard, and he must push the lid open."
He was a little unsure. He didn't know what his father wanted him to think about this situation. However, other than that, I really don’t have any other feelings, so I can only tell the truth.
After hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen, also wanting to know if the emperor asked the prince to do this, was it really just to get the prince to say this, or was there some other secret?
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes, what power is in this teapot against you?"
"Is it... the boiling air after water boils?" Zhu Cixiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that he was still sure, but he was not completely sure, so he could only answer with a hint of uncertainty.
"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen immediately gave him an affirmative reply, "When water is boiled, it becomes Qi. This Qi has nowhere to go in a closed container. The more it accumulates, the more it accumulates, and it will form a kind of gas on the container. The pressure is just like someone blowing air. And between the lid and the teapot, it is actually just the weight of the lid itself falling on the teapot. When the pressure becomes larger and larger and exceeds the weight of the lid itself, It can push up the lid of the teapot. The force you use is equivalent to increasing the weight of the lid. Only when there are more and more gases inside, and the force becomes stronger and stronger, until it exceeds the force you exert plus the weight of the teapot, can the lid be lifted up. Put the lid on the pot."
"If you are strong enough and can keep pressing the lid to prevent the gas from escaping, if the teapot is not strong enough, the power of the gas inside will burst the teapot." After Emperor Chongzhen said this, he stood up and walked slowly Walking to the side of the prince, that is, to the teapot, he pointed at the teapot and continued, "Look, as long as the gas inside escapes, there will be no enough strength, and the lid will fall down again. Yes or no ?”
"Father is right, my son has learned a lesson!" After hearing this, Zhu Cihong replied respectfully.
Although he had never thought about this before, when Emperor Chongzhen said it now, he could figure it out.
However, he was still a little puzzled, wondering why his father told him this. You can’t say that this is related to the military’s heavy weapons, right?
Most of the others also knew what Emperor Chongzhen said. They had the same confusion as the prince, not knowing what the emperor wanted to explain. They understood that the emperor could not just explain what he just said!
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen then pointed at the teapot with his hand and said, "Then what do you think about this situation?"
"..." Look, it's here, it's here as expected, and the emperor asked weird questions again!
Everyone, including Zhu Cixi, was speechless. What else could they think about this situation? That’s it!
Zhu Cihong was dumbfounded for a while, and finally had to answer truthfully: "My son is stupid and doesn't have any ideas!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and looked around at the important ministers, the young prince accompanying him, and various other ministers. He asked them: "What do you think? You can tell me."
"..." Almost everyone lowered their heads when they heard this. They know that there must be a mystery here, but they just can't see it!
Just when Emperor Chongzhen was a little disappointed, suddenly Bi Maokang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, when this water is boiled, it turns into Qi. It can be seen that the same water will turn into more Qi. In this way, the teapot will not be able to contain it. If it stays there, there will be an outward force. From this, the burning of gunpowder will also produce a large amount of gas, so that the projectile can be pushed out quickly, or the barrel of the gun will not be able to withstand the force and explode."
When others heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realized. It turns out that the emperor put the artillery here to remind you why gunpowder is so powerful. This is the reason!
Thinking of this, they all looked at Bi Maokang and secretly praised in their hearts. He was indeed the most powerful firearms master in the Ming Dynasty!
However, Emperor Chongzhen naturally did not want this answer. He did not expect that Bi Maokang would associate it with this, and said it in a convincing way, so he smiled and nodded and said: "It's good that you can think of this!"
After complimenting him first, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Does anyone else have any ideas? For example, what can be done from this?"
Upon hearing this, even Bi Maokang knew that his answer was not actually the answer the emperor wanted. So, they became even more puzzled. What other ideas could they have for such a simple matter? What other things could they do?
Seeing that the people around him were silent again, Emperor Chongzhen stopped paying attention to them. It was probably that they would never expect it. He turned to the prince and said, "You just felt the force of the lid, because as the gas increases, the pressure will increase." The stronger it gets. So have you ever thought about how to use this power to benefit others?"
"Father, could it be that you shot out the lid of the pot?" Zhu Cixiang thought for a moment and answered uncertainly.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he shook his head, turned around and walked back to his seat to sit down. Then he looked at the a little uneasy prince and said, "When the water is boiled, a thrust will be generated. This thrust is within a controllable range. According to The degree of fire can control the size of this force. If you use other means to use this force, will this happen? As long as we control the degree of fire, we can make this push force Are you doing what we want?"
Hearing this, everyone was almost dumbfounded, thinking in their hearts, is this okay? How to do it?
Emperor Chongzhen knew that if this layer of window paper was not broken for them, it would be difficult for anyone to see the beautiful scenery outside the window. Only by helping them to expose it. With such an example, this matter will spread, and people will think more and more about nature in Ming Dynasty.
So, without waiting for anyone to come up with something, he nodded slightly to Lan Tianbao.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but pay attention to Lan Tianbao, wanting to know what the answer to what the emperor said was?
Lan Tianbao took out a roll of paper and slowly unfolded it with another chamberlain. Suddenly, a pattern appeared in front of everyone in this huge roll of paper.
This roll of paper is large enough, and the pattern is large enough that even if there are many people present, they can almost all see it clearly.
I saw other things painted on the burning teapot, forming a simple pattern. It doesn’t take anyone with a lot of experience to understand this picture.
Suddenly, they all suddenly realized that they could still use this power in this way.
But then, another doubt arose among them. Is this thing worth it for the emperor to use to teach the prince?
