Over the years, the Arab Empire has actually been paying close attention to every move of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, many of their talents were directly sent to Datang for training.
The reason why their technology developed so rapidly was due to the Tang Dynasty.
They have always regarded Datang as their greatest enemy.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much attention they paid to Datang, it would not be too much.
Of course, their skin color and appearance are very different from those of the Tang people.
It was not that difficult for them to bribe the Tang people to act as their spies.
Some of their information about Datang was limited to some businessmen and students who were sent to study in Datang.
Of course, ordinary news can be found out.
But as for some confidential information, they are not able to inquire about it.
Therefore, although they knew some of the information sent by the envoys sent by the Family Alliance this time, they were not able to grasp it so thoroughly.
However, even so, the Great Food King did not really muster up the courage to attack Datang.
Because the Tang Dynasty was really too powerful.
So powerful that even if the King of Shu left, he became the current King of China.
It is so powerful that even if the aristocratic family leaves, a large amount of their hundreds of years of wealth will be shipped overseas.
But over the years, thanks to the various measures taken by the King of Shu, the national power of the Tang Dynasty has become stronger.
The King of Food felt that if they really went to war with Datang, their chances of winning would definitely be less than 50%.
Thinking of this, the Great Food King couldn't help but said: "I know everything you said. However, our Arab Empire and the Tang Dynasty are good neighbors. We are honest, so how can we go back on our words?"
The Tang Dynasty in this era was much more powerful than the Tang Dynasty in its original historical trajectory.
And because Li Min established Huaxia City, now besides Africa there are also indigenous people from other remote corners.
There is almost no country in the entire world that does not know that there is a powerful country in the east called Datang.
Moreover, most countries now have business relationships with Datang.
There are countless people in these countries who all speak Chinese.
Nowadays, almost many people all over the world can speak Chinese.
Even the King of Food is no exception. The few sentences he just mentioned are Chinese idioms.
And this time the envoy sent by the family is also an extremely powerful character.
The family has cultivated and trained countless talents.
Of course, it would not be an ordinary character who could be sent here to carry out such a difficult task.
Since entering the palace, he has been secretly observing every move of the Great Food King.
In particular, the micro-expressions on his face were the focus of his observation.
The insincere words spoken by the Big Food King were automatically filtered by the messenger.
After thinking for a moment, the messenger immediately figured out what the food king was thinking.
After thinking about this, the envoy sent by the Family Alliance couldn't help laughing loudly.
The entire palace of the Great Food King echoed with the wild laughter of the family’s envoys.
The Great Food King asked without hesitation: "I don't know why the messenger is laughing?"
The envoy of the Family Alliance laughed and said: "I laugh at you, Your Majesty. The entire empire is in danger without knowing it. It is really ridiculous, ridiculous, haha!"
"Bold! How dare you act recklessly in the palace!"
"This rude person, Your Majesty, do you want to take this person down?"
"Your Majesty, please give the order!"
Seeing how presumptuous this envoy was, the ministers of the Great Food Empire could not restrain their inner anger.
And the big food king's face didn't look very good either.
However, he still managed not to have an attack, but looked at the messenger coldly, and then asked: "I will give you one last chance. I hope you can tell me why. Otherwise, I will blame you for being rude."
.”
The envoy smiled slightly, and then asked calmly: "Your Majesty, please think about it, why did the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty send the King of Shu to the Golden State tens of thousands of miles away to build a Chinese city?"
The Food King's expression remained unchanged, but he did not answer the envoy's question.
As the king of a country, it is naturally inconvenient for him to answer such questions.
The answer is correct, and there is no bonus.
But once you answer wrongly, you will only be laughed at.
It is not convenient for the king to answer, so the ministers below will naturally answer this question for their king.
"This question is really too simple. It must be that the King of Shu is too powerful and has threatened the status of Emperor Tang. Therefore, Emperor Tang will exile him to the Golden State tens of thousands of miles away!"
"That's totally wrong!"
The envoy sneered, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please think about establishing strongholds in Datang and Golden State. So, is your Dashi Empire already surrounded by them?"
Before that, people in the Tang Dynasty and in the Central Plains region believed in the idea that the sky was round and the earth was round.
Recently, a theory has been thrown out from the Golden State that the earth is spherical.
And, it was confirmed.
Because from Datang, all the way east, you can reach the Golden State.
Heading east from Golden State, you can return to Datang.
How can this fact be explained if the earth they live on is not spherical?
The view that the earth is round has now been accepted by more and more people.
The kings and ministers of the Dashi Empire include the Dashi King and his ministers.
I was completely shocked by the views presented by the messenger.
In the past, they had never thought about this aspect.
Now it seems like this, isn’t it?
Didn't their Arab Empire happen to be sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and the Golden State?
In fact, on a sphere, two points can directly divide the entire sphere into two halves.
If we understand it this way, any country is surrounded by them.
And this encirclement is a bit too big.
Between the Tang Dynasty and the Golden State, there was not only their food empire, but also Europe.
It's a pity that they don't think so much about it for the time being.
Because the technological level of Datang was really too advanced.
The strength of Datang was truly terrifying.
As for the Golden State, with the development of that King of Shu, can it still be any worse?
If they attack from both sides, can the Arab Empire withstand it?
At the thought of this, the monarchs and ministers of the Arab Empire fell into great panic.
At this time, the envoy watched their every move.
Seeing their fear, the messenger smiled slightly and then said:
"And now, it is their period of rapid development."
"Now, it is the time when the Tang Dynasty is most empty, and it is the time when the Golden State has not yet developed."
"Let me ask, once the Golden State swallows up all the power of the family, how far will their strength grow to?"
"Once the Tang Dynasty removes all the influence of the aristocratic families, it will surely enter a period of rapid development."
"They will soon grow into two super empires."
"And you are sandwiched between these two super empires."
"Even if they say that they love peace and will never do anything to you, would you believe it?"
After hearing the envoy's words, many ministers of the Arab Empire couldn't help but shake their heads collectively.
Even though the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Shu really had no intention of competing for hegemony.
But what about the people around them?
What about their descendants?
With such great strength, how could one not be eager to compete for hegemony?
Therefore, their Arab Empire is really dangerous!
"That's why I said, this is the best time to attack Datang."
"Now, the Tang Dynasty is in its most empty period due to the departure of the King of Shu and the aristocratic family."
"And the King of Shu needs to deal with the relationship with the indigenous people in the Golden State, and he can't spare any time at the moment."
"By attacking the Tang Dynasty now, our family can take advantage of the opportunity to create civil strife, making it difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take care of both the beginning and the end."
"After we capture the Tang Dynasty, we will give you all the eastern and western regions of the Tang Dynasty."
The Western Regions are all bitter and cold places.
And if we really want to attack Datang, we must be the main force.
We worked so hard to conquer the Tang Dynasty, but your family just wants to do nothing?
But that's okay.
Now it's up to you to be happy.
After the Tang Dynasty is actually conquered, we will discuss the theory at that time.
Because both sides have a common enemy, the subsequent communication between the two sides will be extremely harmonious.
Soon, both parties reached an agreement.
The Arab Empire launched an attack on the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.
As for the aristocratic family, they waited for their war to begin, created civil strife, expanded the war, and made it difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take care of itself.
…
At this time, in Huaxia City, Di Renjie looked at the computer in front of him and laughed loudly.
The other R&D members hugged each other tightly, unable to contain their excitement.
After nearly a year of research and development——
Well, in fact, the main framework, as well as the settings of various functions inside, and even how to connect and debug, City Lord Li Min gave them clear tips.
Under such circumstances, it still took them nearly a year to create a window operating system.
There is no way, after all, they have never been exposed to such advanced programming before.
Even some of the logical relationships inside are not clear.
Many questions first come from asking the city lord.
Secondly, they are also growing rapidly during the programming process.
At the beginning, they would go to trouble the city lord Li Min every now and then.
Li Min, on the other hand, took the trouble and would take the initiative to help them solve any problems.
But the problem is that Li Min can't help them with many problems.
After all, Li Min's programming level is actually not very good.
After all, in his previous life, his main job was writing novels and he was not a programmer.
If it is about other things, you can also ask the system.
However, the system cannot give him a clear answer to this question.
Well, mainly because the programming programs of this era are different from those of later generations.
Many commands in it have been changed to be spelled in Chinese Pinyin.
There are also some things that have been changed.
The answer given by the system is based on the commands of later generations.
The two are not compatible.
This made Li Min, who was accustomed to the powerful magical power of the system, very uncomfortable.
Of course, Li Min also suspected that the system was deliberately slacking off.
In recent years, it has developed faster and faster.
The system is becoming more and more lazy, and it no longer provides support for many things.
Therefore, Li Min had to think about the questions they raised for a long time.
Which programming ideas from later generations can we learn from in order to give them the correct answer?
Later on, the number of questions asked by programmers became less and less.
Sometimes, I won't come to ask for advice for many days.
Finally, after countless tests, it was finally confirmed that this operating system was successfully completed.
Now, their computers have also changed drastically.
A computer is a combination of hardware and software.
While the software is being developed, the hardware is not idle either.
Now, they have developed small and medium-sized integrated circuits.
The chassis and the various components inside are becoming smaller and smaller, while the performance is getting higher and higher.
Of course, they have supercomputers in their laboratories.
The size of that computer is still very large.
And the running capability of that computer is very powerful.
It is currently sufficient for all research in the entire laboratory.
But now, since the window operating system has been introduced, it is very convenient to operate.
Now there is no need for specialized input personnel to enter complicated commands.
It only takes a few days of study to learn how to use a computer.
By opening the software they need, they can easily complete their various needs.
Moreover, nowadays computers can not only batch process files, but can also run several programs at the same time without any delay.
I have to say that this function is really powerful.
And it is foreseeable that because of the rapid development of computers, the scientific research results of the entire scientific research department will inevitably develop rapidly.
Moreover, under Li Min's order, the Scientific Research Department is now preparing to launch a civilian version of the computer.
There is actually no essential difference between the civilian version of the computer and the supercomputer in their laboratory.
A supercomputer is nothing more than using dozens of computers connected in parallel to centralize their functions.
Di Renjie strongly resisted Li Min's order and even refused to carry it out.
The reason was naturally that Di Renjie couldn't bear it.
This computer was developed with great effort and painstaking efforts.
It has just been developed and is now available for civilian use so soon?
In this way, wouldn't it be possible for other countries to have access to computers?
By then, won't they not even have any advantage?
People are selfish.
Butt determines thinking.
Not to mention launching a civilian version.
Even Di Renjie, the scientific research department of Datang, didn't want to give it to them.
Li Min's thoughts are completely different from Di Renjie's.
Li Min's idea is that he wants everyone to make progress together.
If Huaxia City treasures its own secrets, other countries may not be able to create the secret of this computer in decades.
The gap in technology is so huge that it is almost impossible to smooth it over with time.
But in this case, Huaxia City is developing rapidly, but will it be of any benefit to Huaxia City?
Is it just to maintain their lead?
However, even if the civilian version of the computer is now launched, Huaxia City can still maintain its leading advantage!
Moreover, the introduction of computers will allow the technological level of all countries to rapidly improve.
The emergence of computers can improve more than just computing speed.
The improvement of other countries, in turn, can further promote the improvement of Huaxia City.
In Li Min's eyes, aren't the talents from other countries the same as our talents from Huaxia City?
Aren’t other countries talent incubation bases?
As for the upgrading of computers, which country can rival Huaxia City?
Of course, core technologies such as supercomputers cannot be leaked casually.
Li Min would not be so generous as to share all core technologies.
You only need to maintain a certain level of leadership, which is enough.
Because Huaxia City is far ahead of other countries and regions in both hardware and software conditions.
Under such circumstances, which country or region can surpass Huaxia City in technological development?
Under Li Min's persuasion, Di Renjie finally came to his senses and agreed to produce computers.
And now, Di Renjie and the others are doing the final test.
The first batch of computers had actually been produced a long time ago.
What is missing now is software.
You only need to install the Windows 1 operating system on the computer, and after testing, this batch of computers can be directly put on the market.
However, before going on the market, Li Min decided to add some small games to the computer.
In fact, this batch of computers were said to be for civilian use, but in fact they were mainly used for scientific research.
After all, for ordinary people, what is the use of buying a computer at home?
It’s really of no use!
Now that there is no Internet, apart from playing discs, what else can people use it for at home?
Should I use it to calculate wages?
If you really want to calculate wages, a calculator is enough. Where can I use a computer?
Computers are definitely a good thing, and it is foreseeable that their applications will become more and more widespread.
But at least in a short period of time, sales will definitely not be high.
Therefore, Li Min urgently needs a batch of software now.
For example, some game software, as well as some sound and image processing software.
It can also be used to produce a batch of printers.
I believe that the emergence of printers will definitely subvert the traditional printing industry.
Sound, picture and video processing software can change some patterns in the film and television industry.
As for the civilian version, we can only use some stand-alone games to maintain this situation for the time being.
And now, Li Min is making these software.
Well, well, actually, of course he didn't make it himself.
Instead, use the system to synthesize.
After these software are synthesized, they can be installed on the computer.
Those stand-alone computer games are made into CDs, and when the time comes, the CDs can be sold externally.
At the same time, the printer is also being produced.
The principle of the printer is actually not complicated.
But some of the parts inside are also quite delicate.
Moreover, it is now being developed from scratch.
Without Li Min's help, I'm afraid it would have taken a while to make it.
Now, Li Min is focused on promoting computers, so he directly participates in the research and development team.
…
Finally, the first batch of computers were released.
Looking at this batch of brand-new computers, Li Min had a look of nostalgia on his face.
The screens of these computers are still very old and have big belly screens.
The host is also very bulky.
Seeing these computers, Li Min couldn't help but think of the era when computers were still in the 386,486 era.
But for this era, it is a completely ahead of its time product.
Li Min decided to focus on promoting computers in the Tang Dynasty.
The prosperity of Huaxia City is not even that much weaker than Yizhou New City and Chang'an City.
But here in Huaxia City, there are still too few rich people.
Moreover, the concept of consumption has not been developed yet.
There are not as many wealthy people as there were in the Tang Dynasty.
Furthermore, Huaxia City’s region and population are very restrictive.
The government departments in Huaxia City will naturally distribute computers.
I'm afraid not many of the remaining people can use computers.
Even if you can afford it, you may not buy it.
Of course, it doesn't mean that they are not sold in Huaxia City.
However, in terms of publicity intensity, the cost of publicity in Datang was much higher than that in Huaxia City.
The sales situation in the country of origin was not taken seriously by Li Min.
His main sales place focuses on Datang.
Soon, Li Min ordered people to load this batch of computers, printers, and CDs onto the ship.
Li Min also followed the ship and returned to Datang.
Originally, Li Min had promised the Queen Mother that he would go back to visit her every year.
But this time, the delay in Eastern Rome lasted nearly a year.
After I came back, I was busy working on the computer operating system again.
This delay meant that more than a year had passed.
Li Min felt very guilty in his heart.
The Queen Mother is already old, her hair is gray, her body is not as good as before, and she may not live for a few more years.
Even if he goes back for a while every year, how many times can he still see the Queen Mother?
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the child wants to be nourished but cannot be kissed.
This time back to Datang, Li Min was prepared to stay for a while.
After more than a month of traveling at sea, Li Min once again set foot on the land of Datang.
After boarding the Weihaiwei Pier, Li Min ordered people to carefully move the computers.
Then they were scattered throughout the Tang Dynasty.
After the instructions were given, Li Min boarded the train and headed straight for Chang'an City.
After arriving at Chang'an City, Li Min went straight to the palace.
As early as when Li Min arrived at Weihaiwei Pier, there was already a phone call informing him that he had arrived at the palace.
When Li Min arrived at the inner palace, he saw the white-haired Queen Mother leaning against the door and looking at her.
At that moment, Li Min unknowingly burst into tears.
"Yin'er, is that you?"
The Queen Mother is getting older and her eyesight is blurred, so she can no longer see people clearly.
When I saw Li Min from afar, I felt vaguely familiar, but I didn't dare to confirm.
Li Min sobbed: "Queen Mother, it's me, I'm Min'er!"
Li Min walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand tightly.
