Chapter 1299 With a lightning rod, I no longer worry about being struck by lightning
Within the Academy of Sciences.
The ministers sat down and focused their gazes on Emperor Chu. They all looked curious, wanting to know how Emperor Chu would solve the problem of thunder destroying the pavilion.
"You will not think that destroying the pavilion with thunder is a punishment from God!"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
"Such a ridiculous statement can be misrepresented by the common people. How can I believe it?"
Liu Bowen, Di Renjie, Fang Xuanling, and Wen Boya all knelt down and saluted, terrified. To admit the existence of divine punishment would be equivalent to agreeing with the nonsense of the people.
This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and no one among the great lords dares to make an unreasonable assertion.
"Your Majesty, the thunder that destroyed the pavilion was caused by the climate. As for the real reason for such a result, I have not yet found the reason."
Zhang Heng spoke, and the Emperor of Chu nodded gently with a look of approval on his face. Although Zhang Heng did not give the reason, it was very surprising that he could bring up the climate reason.
"What Zhang Aiqing said makes sense. Now I will explain to you why thunder from the sky destroys pavilions and causes fires in the jungle outside the city."
"You may not know that this is knowledge within the scope of astronomy, and it is also the academic field that Zhang Aiqing has been studying."
"After midsummer, since the beginning of autumn, the weather has been dry, and thunder suddenly fell from the sky. The thunder fell from the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and covering an endless area. But why just click on a few attics in the city?"
"I wonder if you have noticed that the pavilions behind the buildings that I took you to inspect are among the tallest in the Beast Emperor City, but none of the civilian houses were destroyed by lightning."
Hear the sound.
All the ministers nodded. It was indeed as Emperor Chu said. The mansions with destroyed pavilions were all in the Beast Emperor City. They were wealthy businessmen and nobles. The pavilions in their mansions were all towering into the clouds.
"Your Majesty, why is this?"
Liu Bowen asked, and all the ministers' eyes were focused on Emperor Chu, waiting for him to answer his questions.
"Thunder travels high and is designed to chop gold, silver, copper and iron metal materials. The attic of the Academy of Sciences and the eaves of buildings in the city are all made of bronze, so they are subject to lightning."
"You may wish to recall whether the cornices of all high-rise buildings in the city are made of gold, silver, copper and iron. Metals can conduct electricity. In addition, when heavy rains fall, rainwater can also conduct electricity, which is why buildings have been destroyed."
"Later, the ministers found a spear and stuck it on the top of the building, and then replaced all the cornices with wood. In the future, we will no longer suffer from lightning strikes during thunderstorms."
"Your Majesty, is it that simple?"
"It's that simple!"
"As long as you have a lightning rod, you will never be struck by lightning again."
Emperor Chu's firm voice sounded, and all the ministers looked dubious. Only Zhang Heng's pupils were wide open, as if he was in a dream like thunder. Emperor Chu's words benefited him a lot, and gave him an advantage in thunder and lightning research.
Leap-forward progress.
One day later.
By inserting spears on the top of the pavilion and replacing all the cornices with wood, the news of the lightning strike can be prevented from spreading throughout the Beast Imperial City.
Suddenly, every household, dignitaries and ordinary people, no one did not insert a spear into the house. When Emperor Chu knew it, he just shook his head slightly. In the hearts of the people, nothing is more important than life.
The spear could avoid being struck by lightning, so why not do it? In one day alone, the price of spears in the iron shop in the Beast Emperor City increased tenfold.
In desperation, Emperor Chu could only ask the craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences to forge the spears with their own hands and distribute them to the people in the city for free. At the same time, he ordered the blacksmiths in the city to return the price of the spears to the original price for the crime of driving up prices.
at this time.
Emperor Chu was sitting in the royal study room, and the system notification sound in his ears lasted for a whole cup of tea. Emperor Chu was so frightened that he thought the system was malfunctioning.
"Hey, congratulations to the host for gaining ten points of faith power from the people in the Beast Emperor City."
"Hey, congratulations to the host for gaining one hundred points of faith power, which comes from the people in the Beast Emperor City!"
...........
Until the system prompts stopped, Emperor Chu had obtained more than one million power of faith, but he didn't know what the power of faith was used for.
"Hey, the system reminds the host that the power of faith comes from the people's belief in the host. The host can use the power of faith to exchange the imperial energy on the system redemption page, with an exchange rate of one hundred to one."
"One hundred to one?"
"Is the Royal Dao really angry?"
Emperor Chu's mind was moved, and he quickly checked the magical effects of the Imperial Dao Qi on the exchange page. For a moment, he looked surprised, horrified, and dumbfounded.
Because on the system redemption page, there are eight characters about the Imperial Dao Zhenqi.
"The true energy of the emperor's way, the emperor canonize it as a god."
The eight characters made Emperor Chu completely uneasy. The emperor's true energy, the emperor's deity, what exactly does this mean?
"Hey, the host's power of millions of faith can only be exchanged for ten thousand Emperor's Dao Qi, but this ten thousand Emperor's Dao Qi entering the host's body is a drop in the bucket."
"The host must achieve the transformation of true energy into spirit, and then turn the spiritual energy into the true energy of the emperor. Only in this way can the host be qualified to be anointed as a god by the emperor."
"So complicated!"
"So perverted?"
When Emperor Chu heard Xiao Jian's explanation, he couldn't help but murmur to himself, but he knew in his heart that if all his zhenqi turned into the imperial zhenqi, there would probably be no one in the War Continent who could rival him.
This is the thought.
Emperor Chu decided to create more benefits for the people in the future, so that he could obtain more power of faith, which could be used to exchange for the imperial energy.
In the next ten days, there were continuous autumn rains, with heavy rains from time to time, and lightning and thunder for a few days, as if they were deliberately testing whether Emperor Chu's lightning rod worked well.
Ten days passed unknowingly. The Beast Emperor experienced ten days of thunderstorms, and not a single pavilion was destroyed by lightning.
for a while.
The people simply regarded Emperor Chu as a god, an omnipotent god, and the fallacy of the theory of divine punishment in the people's minds naturally disappeared.
today.
The weather finally cleared up, and a large number of soldiers and horses arrived outside the Beast Emperor City. Xiong Yiwu, who was responsible for guarding the city, heard that there were traces of the army outside the city, and quickly walked up to the city.
At this time, the army outside the city was Liu Bei's team escorting the beauties and gold and silver. As soon as Xiong Yiwu boarded the city, a soldier came to report.
"General, the army outside the city belongs to General Liu of Mongolia City. It is responsible for escorting the Jin Kingdom's tribute back to the Beast Emperor City."
"General Liu?"
"Coming from the Mongolian city, why didn't you send someone to report in advance that the army suddenly came to the city? This would create panic."
With a displeased look on his face, Xiong Yiwu strode towards the city with his sword in hand.
An hour later.
When Emperor Chu received news from Xiao Guizi that Liu Bei was escorting the gold, silver and beauties sent by the Kingdom of Jin into the city, he chuckled lightly and ordered Liu Bei to come to the imperial study to meet him.
Liu Beiyuan went to Huangsha City, and then went to Mongolia to guard the town. He had not seen him for two years, and the Emperor of Chu was always thinking about him.
In the past two years, Liu Bei has fulfilled his duties and worked diligently to manage Huangsha City and Mongolia County in an orderly manner. This time he returned to the Beast Imperial City to give him a good rest.
However, the thousand Jin women brought back by Liu Bei put the Chu Emperor in a dilemma. Should they all be rewarded to the generals in the army, or should they be kept in the harem? (To be continued)
