Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Li Yuanji solemnly watched the rescue work that had begun in front of him. In fact, this rescue was mainly carried out by rescuing the plane, because the pilot on the plane knew with his own eyes that the situation was very dangerous.

The pilot was not rescued until the fire was put out, but unfortunately he died.

Li Yuanji looked at this scene, feeling helpless. This was what science and technology had to pay for progress. This was a phenomenon that had already occurred in the Research Institute and the Firearms Bureau, especially the Firearms Bureau. Whenever they tested new weapons, it was the most dangerous.

"The body must be well preserved and buried properly. The compensation must be given to his family. His eldest son will be admitted directly to the Institute of Engineering, and all expenses will be covered by the court!"

All Li Yuanji could do was to implement the pensions. The pensions given to the Research Institute and the Firearms Bureau were very high, enough for a family of five to live on for decades, and there was also direct educational priority for their descendants.

What Li Yuanji had to do was to ensure that these people would not have any regrets. He wanted them to understand that even if they unfortunately passed away one day, their families, he, Li Yuanji, would take good care of them.

Yang Jianhe took note of it and immediately asked the Jinyiwei to take charge of the matter. Originally, the Jinyiwei did not need to do this, but since it was Li Yuanji who personally instructed him to do it, since Li Yuanji personally instructed him to do it, it meant that the Jinyiwei had to take action.

After a long time, Liu Mingsheng came in front of Li Yuanji.

"Your Majesty, all the usable parts on the plane were burned, and the engine was also destroyed. Our preliminary estimate is that the engine power is still insufficient and too small, which caused it to fail to rise.

This accident was caused by my incompetence, and I ask Your Majesty to punish me."

Li Yuanji looked at Liu Mingsheng who was kneeling on the ground and apologizing, and helped Liu Mingsheng up.

“It’s not your fault. Technology wants to advance, and these are inevitable. But an accident has happened, and you have to learn from it to prevent it from happening again in the future.

For example, after this plane crash, will it be possible to set up an ejection seat in the future? Once the plane malfunctions and cannot continue to fly, the pilot can be ejected directly by pressing an operating button.

But you also have to shoot out a parachute. After the pilot is ejected into the air, open the parachute to allow the pilot to land steadily.

These are safeguards that can prevent this kind of incident from happening again, and you want people to get them out as soon as possible.”

How could Li Yuanji blame Liu Mingsheng for this? He couldn't blame anyone else. There was no problem with the engine in the ground test, and there was no problem with other hardware. However, the power size could not be tested on the ground at all, and the only way was to test it on the plane.

There is no way around this. Today's technology is just in its infancy and conditions are limited. Many things can only be done through human trial and error, which is unavoidable.

If we really have to talk about responsibility, I'm afraid Li Yuanji is the first one, because he really forgot to tell the people in the research institute about the ejection seat and parachute, and he really didn't think about it at the time.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji looked at Liu Mingsheng who was full of doubts, and his mind suddenly became clear.

"Come with me."

Li Yuanji brought Liu Mingsheng into the house, asked someone to bring pen and paper, and began to explain the ejection seat and parachute to Liu Mingsheng and others. However, Li Yuanji himself did not know much about it and could only give a general idea. As for the drawings, Li Yuanji only drew the surface.

Then the question was a bit stuck for a moment, because he didn't explain it very clearly, Liu Mingsheng and others were also confused.

Li Yuanji was also having a headache. What could he do? He was not a professional in this field. The development of industry and technology to the present was either due to what he exchanged from the system, or he proposed the direction and inspiration, or gave a general idea and the research institute implemented it.

If you ask him to talk about these professional things now, he still can't explain them clearly. He is not omnipotent and it is impossible for him to know everything.

As for the exchange, thinking of this, Li Yuanji immediately opened the system and quickly found the ejection seat technology and parachute. When he saw the price, Li Yuanji hesitated.

Of these two, the exchange price of the parachute is not expensive, 50,000 contribution points are required, but the ejection seat technology, mature technology requires 3 million contribution points, and the most basic ejection technology also requires 350,000 contribution points.

This ejection basics is not the ejection chair technology, but just some basics of ejection. If you want to make an ejection chair, you need to master this basics before designing and implementing it.

However, his current contribution points were only over 350,000 points, which was not enough to exchange for two. If he exchanged for one, he would not be able to exchange for the other.

Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment and directly exchanged for the basics of ejection. For this ejection technology, he would first develop the basics and let the people in the research institute study it slowly. According to his previous experience in providing technology, it should not take long to develop it.

As for the parachute, Li Yuanji didn't believe it. It was relatively simple, and he couldn't even explain the core principle to Liu Mingsheng and others.

"You guys wait here."

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he walked out, got into the car, and immediately exchanged the ejection kit.

Just now in the house, he couldn't perform skills with his bare hands. If this scene happened, he would have no way to explain it.

With the technology in hand, Li Yuanji returned to the house again and handed it directly to Liu Mingsheng.

"This is basic technology. I forgot to take it out from the car. After you take it down, research it as soon as possible.

As for the parachute, I will demonstrate it to you directly."

Liu Mingsheng carefully asked someone to keep the ejection technology and did not go to watch it. Now they still had to watch Li Yuanji demonstrate the parachute. As for this technology, it was in their hands and they could watch it anytime.

Li Yuanji asked someone to bring a piece of cloth and cut it, and then asked someone to bring a dead wood. Li Yuanji began to tie the cut cloth to the dead wood.

After everything was done, Li Yuanji went to the second floor, placed the dead tree in the air, spread out the cloth, and then let go. The dead tree slowly descended to the ground.

Li Yuanji watched it being completed successfully, then looked at Liu Mingsheng.

"Do you understand now? This is the principle of a parachute. You will just need to replace the wooden stick with a person. You can make a parachute based on this pattern.

But after it is produced, it needs to be placed in a backpack. After the pilot ejects from the seat and unfastens the seat belt in the air, the seat will fall, and the pilot will open the parachute in the backpack and slowly descend in the air, thus landing safely.

Now you know the principle, how to design it specifically is up to you, just remember to make it convenient.”

Li Yuanji looked very proud. Although he didn't know how to make it, he thought that after such a demonstration, people in the research institute should be able to do it, right?
After hearing this, Liu Mingsheng agreed immediately. In fact, he still had many questions, but Li Yuanji clearly didn't want to talk any more. What else could he do? After all, Li Yuanji was the emperor and he was a subject.

He saw the parachute, but Liu Mingsheng was still troubled by how to make it. He was ready to gather people to solve this problem.

After arranging these, Li Yuanji spoke again. "You also need to improve the engine. Since the power is not enough, make a bigger one. I know there will be difficulties, but these need to be overcome.

I will try my best to provide you with some aircraft-related technologies as soon as possible, but you also need to think more and do more. It doesn’t matter if you make mistakes. Only after countless experiments can you finally find the right path.

You guys should finish the work here as soon as possible, and the development of the aircraft should still be the top priority."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

Liu Mingsheng agreed to all of them. Whatever Li Yuanji said was what he did, and he was determined to develop the aircraft.

Whenever there is a project in the research institute that is dangerous due to experiments, whether it is injury or death, the people in the research institute will find a way to solve it, because if they don't, how can they be worthy of the people who were injured or died in the experiments?
Li Yuanji didn't care what Liu Mingsheng was thinking. After making the arrangements, he left and returned to the palace.

In the evening, Li Yuanji came to Wei Gui. Now that Yang Qingwan was pregnant, and Wu Shun and Wu Mei had just given birth, he had no choice but to come to Wei Gui.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed. On this day, Li Yuanji completed his daily task and obtained five contribution points.

It has been many years since Li Yuanji did this daily task because he was too busy and he really didn't care about these five contribution points. Today he suddenly remembered it and completed it for the first time.

I opened the system panel and saw that I only had 7,685 contribution points left, and I felt very disappointed.

At this moment, the task was suddenly displayed. Li Yuanji was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic.

Li Yuanji immediately looked at the contribution points and counted along with the string of zeros. It was a total of 50,7685 contribution points. Li Yuanji was really happy.

Soon, Li Yuanji recovered. This time, the contribution points were the most he had ever received since the fiefdom mission eight years ago. Last time, he received hundreds of millions of contribution points, all of which were squandered by him. Otherwise, how could the Tang Dynasty develop so fast?

The 50 million contribution points this time certainly made him happy, but it was not to the point of being crazy.

Looking at the new task, I saw that the new task showed that the population of Datang would be increased to 300 million, and if completed, contribution points would be obtained.
Li Yuanji continued to count the long string of zeros, and finally his pupils shrank. One hundred million contribution points!

Li Yuanji was really excited this time. It was the first time he had seen a task of 100 million contribution points. When this task appeared, Li Yuanji immediately knew that he should be unlocking a task of 100 million contribution points. I am afraid that all future tasks will be measured in billions.

The only thing that made Li Yuanji sigh was that the population needed to be increased to 300 million, but now it was only 200 million, a full 100 million difference. How many years would it take to complete this task?

These 100 million contribution points may look tempting, but Li Yuanji knows very well that it will take several years to obtain them. This is the disadvantage.

The later you get in the task, the more difficult it becomes to complete and the more time it takes.

Li Yuanji missed the previous tasks a little, especially when there were only dozens or hundreds of points. It was really fast to complete those system tasks during that period.

Nowadays, it takes several years to complete a task.

As for doing the previous tasks again, Li Yuanji didn't have the mind to refresh them. After all, the reward was only a few contribution points. How much more did he have to do to be able to exchange for things that cost millions or even tens of millions?

Li Yuanji stopped thinking about it and immediately opened the exchange column. He found the manufacturing technology and drawings of the propeller plane and looked at the contribution points required. The corner of Li Yuanji's mouth twitched, not for anything else, but because it was too expensive, requiring 80 million contribution points.

Li Yuanji was speechless. Eighty million contribution points were only enough to exchange for a propeller plane. How much would a more advanced one cost? One hundred million? One billion?

Li Yuanji took another look and decisively closed it because it was ridiculously expensive.

"As expected, the bigger the era, the more expensive it is. The system really doesn't lie to me."

Li Yuanji now truly understood what the system had said.

Then Li Yuanji was a little worried, because there was no problem in exchanging the plane, but how to get the bombs and guns of the plane? The current technology of the Firearms Bureau was not enough to develop the weapons needed for the plane.

Li Yuanji found out the weapon manufacturing technology and almost rolled his eyes when he saw the price. It was a full 15 million contribution points, of which 12 million were needed for airplanes to drop bombs, while machine guns only required 3 million contribution points.

Li Yuanji was really speechless when he looked at the price, but what else could he do?

Now all they lack is the Air Force to form a new three-service army, navy, army and air force. Originally, he wanted to exchange for rocket technology, but now it is impossible.

Li Yuanji had no choice but to exchange these technologies, his heart was bleeding.

One hundred million contribution points, and now only two million plus some change are left.

Li Yuanji was just about to ask Yang Jianhe to send these technologies to the Research Institute and the Firearms Bureau respectively, but before he could say anything, Yang Jianhe walked in with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, Li Er has led his army out of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Yuanji's eyes fixed, and then he looked at Yang Jianhe with murderous intent.

"Then let's start the action. Remember, no one can escape! If the situation allows, try to capture them alive, and then find out all the people related to them!"

"According to the order!"

After Yang Jianhe retreated, his face was full of murderous intent. He immediately assembled the Jinyiwei and gave the signal to attack.

Li Yuanji handed over the aircraft technology to the Research Institute, and the bomb and machine gun technology to the Firearms Bureau for research.

When Liu Mingsheng got the detailed techniques and drawings given by Li Yuanji, he immediately organized people to start studying day and night.

At the same time, within the Tang Dynasty, the Jinyiwei in various places began to take action and began to arrest those who had been targeted. Some places even sent out large armies to suppress them.

Especially Dongzhou Prefecture and Dingnan Prefecture, which were originally Japan, Srivijaya and other places, as well as the surrounding areas of the original Persia, including the north and the original Turkic steppes, all these places dispatched large armies, because those people were connected with the original ambitious elements, and this time they were all captured by Li Yuanji.

This big move once again became the focus of the world. These areas were basically flooded with blood. Li Yuanji was not polite to these people at all. All those who were found to be involved were executed. Although not all nine clans were executed, all nine clans were implicated. (End of this chapter)
