As the monarch of a country,
Li Shun knew very well the essential reason why everyone in Taihao Mountain left angrily - the impact of human-powered aircraft being able to allow ordinary people to fly into the sky was too great.
This news will inevitably spread to all parts of the world through the circulation channels of Academy publications.
Will the hundreds of millions of poor people who are begging for food in the fields, trusting Haotian and working hard all their lives in the hope of enjoying happiness in the next life, have any other thoughts after hearing this news?
For example...Haotian, is it nothing more than this?
This made Li Shun instinctively uneasy.
King means boat; people means water.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
Mortals are bound to the earth, admiring and admiring the monks who come and go freely, picking up the stars and the moon. This has been the rule for thousands of years.
Whether one has the talent for cultivation or not, an insurmountable gap has been drawn between mortals and monks from the very beginning.
Mortals cannot compete with monks and should be ruled by monks.
Looking around, there are many practitioners among the royal families of almost all countries, including Yu State.
Cultivating monks with a royal background and being loyal to the royal family are the final guarantee of the royal family's life.
Nowadays, the Academy can already send ordinary people into the sky. So, a hundred or two hundred years from now, will there be any new achievements and trigger new great changes?
Will the people who have opened up their wisdom and aroused their "ambition" continue to believe in Haotian, fear the court, and regard the emperor as the so-called "son of emperor" who is above them?
The more he thought about it, the more Li Shun's heart sank.
Queen Xue was keenly aware of her husband's mood swings, and silently rubbed her husband's palms to give her silent comfort.
"I'm fine."
Li Shun smiled and suppressed his irritation.
The State of Yu is the State of Yu of the royal family surnamed Li, and it is also the State of Yu of the Academy.
He could not stop the Academy from moving forward, nor could he control his instinct to assist the Academy in its development - the emergence of new products such as midwifery forceps, allicin, and penicillin.
It greatly enhanced the national strength of Yu State, which can be seen with the naked eye.
Every once in a while, documents sent from the prefectural government offices also clearly record the changes that have occurred in the local area.
The probability of common people getting sick is reduced, the probability of newborns surviving is increased, the number of mothers who die during childbirth is significantly reduced, and farmers and workers will not die from minor wounds...
No monarch can ignore this positive change.
He can only and must choose to accept it.
As for the future fate of the Yu State and the future fate of the Li family... let them be left to future generations.
We can only believe in their wisdom.

Li Ang did not know the impact, shock and reflection that an aircraft brought to Emperor Yu.
He has been busy dismantling the aircraft recently.
The Albatross is good, but its design purpose is to be a low-altitude, full-speed, manned human-powered aircraft. It is designed to cross the sea for long distances.
Such a design makes it unable to undertake other tasks.
What business wants to use it to transport goods?
The Ministry of War hopes to use it to transport soldiers.
It's impossible to do it.
Even if it could be done, the high cost and low efficiency would be unacceptable.
So it would be better to dismantle it, store it, and take it out when the museum is built that day.
In contrast, the bicycle drawings extended by manufacturing aircraft are more realistic.
There was originally a bicycle without tires in the cab of the Albatross.
Remove it and modify it a little, add two rubber tires and it can be used.
There is currently no reliable source of natural rubber in Yu State, but there is a low-level insect monster like a caterpillar that can spit out gelatin and has properties similar to rubber.
Li Ang went to Zhang Liang, a doctor of zoology, and asked for some shellac. He made two rubber tires and installed them on the bicycle seat. He could start riding immediately, allowing him to enjoy the joy of riding a bicycle.
Thanks to the cement-like building materials previously invented by Xuegong,
The several large official roads in Chang'an City are very flat and neat, so riding a bicycle is no problem at all.
And those small roads don't have a lot of gravel, so bicycles can be used in urban environments.
It’s just that the cost is a little higher because it requires the use of complex metal structures and shellac.
After Li Ang used materials to make several bicycles for himself, Chai Chai, Li Leling and others, he handed the drawings to the patent office and authorized them to be produced by several companies in Chang'an City.
With the wisdom of the craftsmen of those companies, they should be able to find ways to reduce costs and sell a few vehicles.
Well, it has left a way for future generations to make money.
After successfully getting the bicycle, Li Ang's next thing was to deal with the fine gold——
Bian Chenpei was willing to admit defeat, so on the night after the test flight of the aircraft, he sent someone to deliver a box of fine gold and orichalcum.
Li Ang estimated that Bian Chenpei did not have the ability to mobilize enough resources in such a short period of time. The people of Taihao Mountain should have felt ashamed and helped him do it, so as not to make outsiders think that Taihao Mountain did not keep its words and be ridiculed.
Well, this time I have offended Mount Taihao severely.
But this is not a big deal,
Li Ang happily accepted the precious metals, and placed some of them in the laboratory building at the back of the academy, and fed some of them to Mo Si for them to gradually absorb.
The ink silk has absorbed a large amount of precious metals, and the dark golden part has further expanded, extending to the arms, neck and collarbone. Li Ang estimates that there are another two or three hundred taels, which should be able to cover the entire upper body.
Now, although Mosi has not been able to evolve again, she has also added circuits.
By the way, Li Ang's own cultivation realm has successfully broken through to the high level of the body hiding realm. With the current progress of cultivation, with hard work, it won't take long to reach the listening to the rain realm.
At that time, you can write more types of talismans and use your mind to create more tricks.
At the same time, Yu State, Jiangnan.
A kind-hearted old man named Situ Zhi and his disciples arrived in Suzhou City.
The streets are spacious, crowded with pedestrians, and the shops are bustling. In the distance, countless ships can be seen in the port. The sails of various colors are connected together, and the sea is almost invisible.
Merchant ships from all over the world gather here and sail to all directions.
