Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1716 Purpose

Li Shimin stopped immediately when he heard this, and a lot of cold sweat broke out on his back. Just now he was only thinking about the magic of electric lights, and almost forgot that this magical light came from thunder and lightning.

This is not a fun toy. Thunder and lightning are not something a mortal body can bear. If the lightning hits a person, it will definitely turn the person into coke.

Although Li Shimin is the emperor and claims to be the son of heaven, he dare not try the feeling of being struck by lightning.

Empress Changsun and the others were even more taken aback when they heard this. They were also immersed in the magic of the electric light just now, and forgot about the light of the thunder and lightning.

Thunder and lightning are magical and dangerous.

Princess Changle, Princess Zhenzhu, and Princess Yuzhang were shocked when they heard this, and felt very nervous. It turned out that the electric light is so dangerous, but Su Cheng is still playing with the electric light.

Cheng Chumo and the others wanted to go up and snatch the electric light to play with the beam of light just now, but when they heard Su Cheng's words, they were shocked and forgot about the danger of thunder and lightning.

Li Shimin quickly took two steps back, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that only you can control thunder and lightning?"

Su Cheng fiddled with the electric lights and played around with them, while explaining with a smile: "In this world, some things can conduct electricity, and some things can't. For example, metal, human body, and water can conduct electricity, but rubber doesn't."

"Look at this wire. Inside is a copper wire that transmits the current from the generator to the lamp, and it is covered with a layer of rubber to isolate it. People who touch the rubber will not be electrocuted."

"So, you must be careful when touching things related to electricity. Make sure that there is something insulating like rubber where your hands touch, otherwise you will be easily electrocuted."

"What should I do if I see someone being electrocuted? Don't touch it directly with your hands! Don't push him away with your hands! Use insulating things to push him away, such as rubber or dry wooden sticks. "

Li Shimin and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it. They were very shocked at that moment, thinking that only Su Cheng could control thunder and lightning.

Now listening to Su Cheng's rambling explanation here, they suddenly had a different feeling, as if the thunder and lightning were not as magical as they imagined.

Lightning!
Can split the sky!
According to legend, it is divine power, but it turns out that it only needs a little rubber to subdue it?
Seeing that such a simple generator can create lightning, and a little rubber can subdue lightning.

The glorious image of thunder and lightning in their minds collapsed all the time.

Li Shimin stepped forward and carefully stretched out his hand to touch the rubber, and found that he didn't feel anything, so he couldn't help but sigh: "So it is!"

The last time Su Cheng explained to him that thunder and lightning had nothing to do with gods, but that clouds collided to send out thunder and lightning. He was a little skeptical, but now, he suddenly believed [-]% of the time, and felt that Su Cheng's explanation was probably right.

Standing beside Su Cheng, Li Shimin felt the magic of this light beam more deeply.

This beam is really bright and shoots very far.

Seeing Su Cheng fiddling with the lights and continuously shining them here and there, Li Shimin suddenly became a little excited.

If the electric light was just the divergent light at the beginning, although it was very bright and magical, Li Shimin would not be so excited.

But now, it occurred to him that the lamp had other uses.

Li Shimin pondered: "If such steam engines, generators, and electric lights are installed on the city walls of the border gate, if a war breaks out, there will be no need to worry about the enemy's night attack! Once such a bright and far-away light is shot out, the enemy army can sneak around. Attack the city at night?"

Su Cheng nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, if you install electric lights on the city wall of the border gate, you don't have to worry about the enemy's attacking the city at night. However, under the governance of His Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that there are no foreigners who dare to come here." Raid the city?"

It's not that Su Cheng is deliberately flattering, because what he's telling is the truth.

The Tang Dynasty in history was already very powerful, but now that Su Cheng traveled here, the Tang Dynasty was more than twice as powerful as the Tang Dynasty in history.

The East Turks were destroyed, Goguryeo was also destroyed, and even Tubo was destroyed. Which foreign race would dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty?Isn't that the old birthday star hanged himself?

After hearing Su Cheng's words, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel joyful. Although what Su Cheng said was true, and the ministers in the court said so more than once, he was still very happy to hear what Su Cheng said.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Although what you said is reasonable, I think it is necessary to install electric lights for the formation. I have also heard some news that the Western Turks are wooing the surrounding small countries."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "How can we allow other people to snore on the side of the couch? The Western Turks are so bold that they still want to challenge our Tang Dynasty's overlord status! The Western Turks must think that our Tang Dynasty's continuous use of troops has damaged our national strength. That's why I want to take the opportunity to pick things up!"

"If the Western Turks were to unite those small countries, they would definitely confront our Tang Dynasty! I feel that we should defeat them one by one before the Western Turks are allied with those small countries."

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel his eyes light up, and nodded repeatedly: "You're right, you're right!"

In fact, both Li Shimin and Su Cheng knew in their hearts that the Western Turks didn't think that the Tang Dynasty's continuous use of troops was empty and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to provoke troubles. It was clear that they were frightened by the successive destruction of Goguryeo and Tubo by the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to win over other small countries with the intention of self-sufficiency. Save.

But why did Li Shimin and Su Cheng speak insincerely?
Isn't it greedy for the land of cattle and sheep in Western Turks?
Of course, keeping the Western Turks is indeed a hidden danger.

Since it is a hidden danger, the best way is of course to eliminate it in advance.

Li Shimin felt very regretful in his heart. Su Cheng has been busy building the railway these days, and he didn't go to court much.

If only Su Cheng had been there when discussing the Western Turks' win over the small countries in the Western Regions in the court hall, it would have been great if he had said such a thing in the hall.

Empress Changsun was very speechless listening to it, why did she talk about the war again?

The electric lamp obviously has nothing to do with the Western Turks, but the emperor and Su Cheng talked about fighting the Western Turks, and there was no one else.

Empress Changsun hurriedly said: "I think this electric light can be used not only on the city wall of the border gate, but also on the boat! The electric light is so bright and can illuminate so far. If the electric light is installed on the boat, the water surface will be as bright as daytime." , even at night, you can sail with confidence!"

Li Shimin nodded repeatedly and said, "The queen is right, you can install lights on the boat, which will bring great convenience to sailing at night."

Talking, talking, Li Shimin and others suddenly felt that electric lights seemed to be of great use, not just for lighting on trains.
