The most arrogant in history

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "If we continue to develop science and technology, perhaps in two or three hundred years, our descendants will be able to go into space. From space, they will see that the earth is a blue planet."

Song Poliu didn't believe it: "How can humans fly into the sky without wings?"

"Get a hot air balloon and you can go up to the sky, but you can't fly high." Ye Kun smiled and said, "There are still ways to go up to the sky, such as launching a cannonball and sending people up to the sky."

Song Poliu laughed and said, "Who can withstand the explosion of artillery?"

"Why not just build a huge iron shell and put the person inside?"

"How big a gun would that be?"

"I'll have to wait until I get back to calculate this..."

Ye Kun talked nonsense casually.

In fact, with current materials and technology, it is not difficult to make rocket propellant.

But sending people into space is bullshit.

Ye Kun was unable to complete it until his death.

While we were chatting, the signalman came to report:

"Your Majesty, our two ship-borne telegraph machines seem to be broken. The signals we send are intermittent... and our two receivers are also broken."

Ye Kun asked: "No maintenance?"

"It's been repaired several times, and the coil has been replaced, but it's still intermittent."

"I gonna go see."

Ye Kun shook his head and took Song Poliu to the telegraph room in the rear cabin.

Several signalmen were repairing and debugging the equipment.

Ye Kun took a look and said, "It's the humid air at sea that corroded the parts. Because the seawater has a high salt content, it is very corrosive to metals. In the future, the sensitive parts of the transmitter must be made of gold."

Song Poliu asked, "Can gold withstand corrosion?"

Ye Kun nodded: "Of all metals, gold has the most stable chemical properties. When we upgrade our warships in the future, some precision parts, such as gyroscopes, sextants, and clocks, must also be made of gold, or gold alloys. Only gold can resist the corrosion of seawater."

Song Poliu scratched her head and said, "No wonder gold is so expensive. It turns out it has so many uses."

Ye Kun took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said with a smile: "My pocket watch is made of gold and silver alloys, so it keeps very accurate time. It won't be affected even in the sea. I'll give it to you as a reward!"

Song Poliu took it with both hands and thanked her solemnly:

"Your Majesty, in fact, you have given me a lot of rewards in the past few years. I can't spend it all in this lifetime, and I guess my grandson won't be able to spend it all either."

"Rewards are appropriate, but military funds cannot be embezzled."

Ye Kun laughed and said, "Qin Erwu had hidden some gold, but I took it away from him and scolded him."

Song Poliu was shocked: "Your Majesty, I don't have any gold or silver hidden, and I dare not embezzle military funds..."

"I know, that's why I entrusted you with this important task."

Ye Kun patted Song Poliu's shoulder and said, "General Qin Erwu, you are getting old. The future of the navy depends on you. I hope you will keep up the good work!"

"I will do my best, even until my death!"

"Okay, let's go eat."

Ye Kun instructed the signalman again: "When there is a signal, notify Zhuojun and tell them that we have a safe journey, but the transmitter is broken, so don't worry at home."

If you don't explain it clearly, people in Zhuo County will start to have wild thoughts.

Maybe he would think that he was in a shipwreck and make Crown Prince Ye Feng the emperor.

Xiao Dequan and Wang Baoguo were both there at lunch.

Ye Kun asked: "Mr. Xiao, what do you think of what you have seen and heard along the way with me to the South China Sea?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity. I have learned a lot and it has broadened my horizons."

Xiao Dequan clasped his fists and said, "The navigation gyroscope, the sextant, the lighthouse searchlight at the port, these are things I have never seen before and never imagined. There are also cannons, gun platforms, and telegraph machines on the battleships... All of this is amazing."

"Soon, we will have steam-powered warships that can travel 3,000 miles a day. Then, you will find it even more amazing."

Ye Kun chuckled: "In fact, all this can only be regarded as the beginning of the industrial age. If we live for another few decades and enter the era of great industrial development, there will be more things that will dazzle you."

Xiao Dequan asked, "Your Majesty, can you describe what the great development of the industrial age looks like?"

Ye Kun thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the Zhengguo Canal. The First Emperor mobilized hundreds of thousands of people and it took several years to build it. If it was built in the industrialized era, it would take about 10,000 people to dig it and it would be completed in a month."

Xiao Dequan and Song Poliu were stunned: "What kind of excavator is so powerful?"

"Is this amazing?" Ye Kun smiled.

"In theory, future generations can design a transoceanic cannon that can be fired from Zhuojun and fired at Jiaozhi or the Tianzhu Peninsula. It will also be very accurate and can accurately hit a dining table thousands of miles away."

Later generations had satellite positioning systems, which was child’s play.

In the future, there will be a Sky Eye system that can see women taking a bath on the ground from space!

Xiao Dequan was shocked: "This is too... scary. If we make something like this, wouldn't we be able to do whatever we want?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "But civilization will also develop synchronously. In the future, the world will respect life and respect every individual. Even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants."

Xiao Dequan thought for a moment and asked, "If I can live another 30 years, what can I see in the end?"

Song Poliu was also looking forward to it.

Ye Kun thought for a moment: "Thirty years later, all our warships and large merchant ships should be equipped with steam engines or diesel engines, and their speed will be two or three times higher than it is now. The ships will be larger and safer.

In terms of transportation, we will have many railways, cement roads, and asphalt roads, which are very smooth. In terms of land transportation, we will have cars that can carry tens of thousands of pounds and travel hundreds of miles a day, surpassing the best BMW horses.

In terms of weapons, we will have long-range cannons with a range of dozens or even hundreds of miles, and with even greater explosive power, killing hundreds of people with one shot. There will be machine guns, and the bullets will be fired like raindrops, killing people like mowing grass.

In terms of population, it should be at least 60 million, or even 100 million.

In terms of economy, it will be more prosperous than it is now. In terms of education, the literacy rate should be more than half, or even more than 80%. The average life expectancy of the people should be over 65 years old.

In terms of the calendar, we calculate every solar and lunar eclipse for a thousand years to come.

As for territory... the entire world belongs to us Chinese people."

Xiao Dequan and Song Poliu were both stunned.

This is a grand vision that they dare not imagine.

After being stunned for a long time, Song Poliu smiled and said, "If I don't get sick, I can live another 30 years. I can see that day."

Xiao Dequan said: "Maybe I can see that day too..."

"You need to exercise and do some exercise every day. You need to control your diet and not eat too much meat and fish, or high-salt and high-sugar foods. You need to eat more fruits and vegetables."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Xiahou Chang is just greedy. Now he has diabetes and his health is very poor. You must be careful and don't learn from Xiahou Chang."

Xiao Dequan asked: "Your Majesty is a great scholar, can't he treat diabetes?"
