"First of all, regarding lighting, this issue has really bothered me for a long time."
"The interior of the chariot is relatively closed. Although vents are prepared in advance, it is still slightly inferior to the bright and ventilated environment outside."
"But you can't be so particular on the battlefield. As long as you can win the battle, everything will be easy, right?"
The surrounding soldiers smiled and nodded - only then did Sun Quan realize that these guys... seemed to be Lu Meng's men.
It turns out... Lu Meng's army had not been seen before, but the result was good. They were all helping Yi Xiaotian?
Of course Yi Xiaotian would not explain the origins of these soldiers, but continued to speak to Sun Quan.
"Has General Sun ever thought about what would happen if a torch, oil lamp or even a candle were lit in the small space inside the chariot?"
"Um...will it...be very choking?"
When asked suddenly, Sun Quan naturally gave his answer with some hesitation.
He wasn't sure what Yi Xiaotian meant, but when he saw Yi Xiaotian smiled slightly and didn't refute anything, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What General Sun said is extremely——"
Yi Xiaotian did not further explain things like oxygen depletion and carbon monoxide poisoning, but it is true that the lighting inside the tank is a big problem.
This kind of thing, to a certain extent, can be solved by relying on the proficiency of the soldiers.
But in the final analysis, it is not a long-term solution.
Simple and easy to operate, this is Yi Xiaotian’s ultimate pursuit.
Therefore, the operational accuracy affected by lighting cannot be solved by just stacking experienced hands.
The current situation is the solution that Yi Xiaotian has been searching for for a long time.
Of course, this is all thanks to Huang Xiang and the guys in Lin Lishan.
Yi Xiaotian took the faintly glowing ball from Huang Yueying's hand and handed it to Sun Quan in front of him to watch.
When Sun Quan took it over, he immediately exclaimed:
"This! Is this the rumored Night Pearl?"
Sun Quan was a little confused. He hadn't seen it clearly just now, but now he was closer and felt the cold touch on his hand and the familiar texture. Without much hesitation, Sun Quan shouted out his inner thoughts.
Yes, the Luminous Pearl... At least in the eyes of normal people in this era, if a stone that can emit light is not a Luminous Pearl, what else could it be?
"If all the luminous stones were luminous pearls, then I might really get rich, but unfortunately, these are just some stones that I found in the mountains and forests near Guiyang, Changsha——"
"I temporarily named it fluorite. Many of these stones cannot emit light. The few that can emit light can remain bright for a long time at night as long as they absorb enough sunlight during the day."
"Not only is the stone in front of you, but there is also fluorite powder on the inner walls around the chariot that I sent people to apply early on, which can serve as a source of light."
After Yi Xiaotian's explanation, Sun Quan actually didn't dare to refute anything.
Lu Su, on the other hand, was much more normal. He nodded while listening to Yi Xiaotian's explanation:
"Mr. Yi is really thoughtful."
Yi Xiaotian smiled, suddenly pulled out a wooden pipe from the side, stuffed it directly into the hands of Lu Su and Sun Quan, and said smoothly:
"Boy, take a look at that tube, what did you find?"
The two of them knew little about it, but they did what Yi Xiaotian said.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them burst out in unison:
"This! What's going on?"
Sun Quan was so frightened that he jumped back with his butt, and his whole body hit the inner wall of the chariot——
But such behavior accidentally triggered another mechanism of the tank...
Yi Xiaotian didn't have time to stop him. There was a crisp explosion, and everyone subconsciously covered their ears. As a result, they saw Sun Quan being squeezed aside by some kind of balloon-like existence that inflated in front of him.
“Cough cough cough cough——”
Sun Quan was very confused.
I don’t know how long it took, but the “balloon” finally returned to its original shape. Yi Xiaotian, dumbfounded, stepped forward and pulled Sun Quan back to its original position, and patted his body:
"Well, it seems there's no big problem..."
"No problem, you ghost! What is this all about? Yi Xiaotian, please explain it to me quickly! What are these things! What did I see just now...this...what is this thing that popped up suddenly?
?”
Lu Su was extremely well-behaved. He marveled at what he saw in front of him and even studied it thoughtfully.
"Hahaha... don't worry, I didn't expect General Sun to be so enlightened that he actually triggered our safety protection airbag - but let's talk about the wooden pipe first?"
Yi Xiaotian pressed his hands down, signaling Sun Quan to relax, and then told the secret:
"I won't reveal the method of making it. All you need to know is that I named the wooden tube you just used a periscope -"
With that said, Yi Xiaotian casually pulled out another wooden pipe. It was not as clumsy as the previous two people operated it. He shook it left and right, and the wooden pipe could rotate 360 degrees.
Assuming that Sun Quan and Lu Su are still outside the chariot at this time, if you observe carefully, you can find clues——
Yes, the simple periscope invented by Yi Xiaotian actually has the pop-up part on the top of the tank.
It's just that everyone was too far away before and never noticed it.
"With this thing, you can observe the outside world without having to stick your head out."
Saying this, Yi Xiaotian gestured to the two of them.
Lu Su had no more psychological pressure and returned to his original position happily. Following Yi Xiaotian's example, he first moved his eyes towards it, and then rotated the wooden tube itself:
"Brilliant! Wonderful! Mr. Yi! You... you are really talented! You can come up with such a method - this... how on earth do you do this! Hmm... it's so clear, you can really see it from every angle
…”
Lu Su's sighs were endless.
Sun Quan, who was still a little reserved at first, couldn't help but step forward to join in the fun.
Indeed...the shock brought by black technology dissipated the dissatisfaction in Sun Quan's heart to a certain extent.
When he could have a clear view of the battlefield from inside the chariot, the feeling of relief and joy was indescribable.
"As for the airbag..."
Yi Xiaotian scratched his head and said helplessly:
"Actually, you had the opportunity to meet General Sun a long time ago. I wonder if you still remember——"
"What? What? A long time ago? When..."
"Is that when you go to hunt us down in person?"
Yi Xiaotian's words brought the two of them back to the thrilling chase battle a few months ago.
At that time, Sun Quan galloped on his horse, chasing Yi Xiaotian and his party who were planning to leave by boat.
At that time, Sun Quan sent people to chase the carriage of Yi Xiaotian and others until it was shattered into pieces——
But there were things that confused Sun Quan at that time...
The carriage crashed like that, but Yi Xiaotian and others sitting in the carriage were actually unscathed?
"Is...is it because of this thing?"
Sun Quan pointed to the leather airbag not far away from him in disbelief, unable to believe the effect of this thing.
