Emperor Chongzhen wanted to tell Liu Weichao the good news about fine steel smelting as soon as possible and share it with his friends.
However, what he never expected was that when he contacted Liu Weichao, his cell phone rang: "Hello, the owner of the phone you contacted has shut down, please contact me again later! Hello..."
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what was going on?
Because he has never encountered anything like this before, what does shutting down mean?
The failure to contact Liu Weichao made Emperor Chongzhen a little panicked, so he didn't think much about it and quickly contacted him again.
"Hello, the phone owner you contacted has shut down, please contact us again later! Hello..."
The situation was still the same. In short, Liu Weichao could not be contacted, which made him even more panicked.
how so?
Is it possible that Liu Weichao will no longer be able to be contacted in the future?
Thinking this way, Emperor Chongzhen became even more panicked.
I'll contact you later. How long will this wait be?
No one can answer this question for him, even if he has a huge empire, there is nothing he can do!
The panicked Emperor Chongzhen kept contacting him.
"Hello, the phone owner you contacted has shut down, please contact us again later..."
keep in touch.
"Hello, the phone owner you contacted has shut down, please contact us again later..."
keep in touch……
…
Unknowingly, sweat broke out on Emperor Chongzhen's forehead, but he didn't know it at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but surprisingly, this time the contact was connected.
This time, he was stunned.
After coming back to his senses, when Emperor Chongzhen was about to speak, he heard Liu Weichao say to him in a lowered voice: "Wait a minute!"
Then, the communication was hung up.
But this time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't panic.
He felt that it was not convenient to contact Liu Weichao. He had already encountered this problem once.
As long as it’s not for other reasons!
Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief and then realized that his forehead was covered in sweat, so he wiped it with his hand. His attention was still focused on his mobile phone, waiting for Liu Weichao's reply.
Soon, Liu Weichao contacted him. But it was not a video, but a text.
"I just got on the plane and the battery was low, so I turned off the phone for a while."
"Now switch it to flight mode. This time-travel communication is really powerful. You can ignore the flight mode and still be able to contact me!"
"Oh, by the way, you may not understand, let me explain it to you!"
"You can't make phone calls or connect to the Internet on the plane, at least not on the civilian plane I'm flying on. Because wireless communication may interfere with the flight of the plane."
"Oh, by the way, you may not understand this! Just a simple sentence, while I am on the plane, I cannot use my mobile phone to contact people who are not on the plane. I am contacting you now. If others find out, there will be objections.
. Therefore, I can only type with you so that others will not find out."
"..."
Listening to Liu Weichao's introduction, Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand it clearly, but he still knew the general meaning. He pressed the phone and wanted to say "I understand" in reply.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that if he spoke, would Liu Weichao be discovered?
However, if there is no voice, he also discovered that he cannot use words!
This time, he was a little dumbfounded and didn't know what to do!
After Liu Weichao said a lot, he found that Emperor Chongzhen didn't reply, and he couldn't help but be confused.
What's going on? Logically speaking, Emperor Chongzhen should reply to the message immediately!
That's right, even if it's a big deal, he will reply to his message as soon as possible!
However, after saying so much, Emperor Chongzhen didn't reply at all. What happened to him?
It's not even the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, and Li Zicheng has not entered the capital!
Could it be that at this time, someone wanted Emperor Chongzhen to fall into the water and die because of what he had done before?
Thinking of this, Liu Weichao also became nervous.
Not to mention that he is just starting to start a business, Emperor Chongzhen is the core value of his business. Even if there is no such interest relationship, he does not want anything to happen to Emperor Chongzhen.
So, he quickly entered a text message and asked: "Can you receive my message? If you see it, reply to me!"
After sending it, I waited for a while, but still no response.
So, Liu Weichao turned his head and looked at the passenger sitting next to him. Perhaps because it was the off-season, there was no one in the middle. The uncle in the seat next to him was closing his eyes and concentrating.
Turning around, Liu Weichao decided to secretly contact Emperor Chongzhen via video to check the situation.
At this moment, the phone vibrated and received a voice message.
When Liu Weichao saw it, he suddenly felt excited for no reason. He immediately pressed the voice message and then switched to text display.
"I don't know how to type words, and I'm afraid of affecting you when I talk to you, so I don't know how to answer you!"
Seeing this, Liu Weichao couldn't help but laugh.
Really, I scared myself just now!
Of course he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen was scaring him even more than him!
At this time, Liu Weichao understood this and entered text to communicate with Emperor Chongzhen.
Liu Weichao: "It's okay. Once you input your voice, I can convert it into text. It won't affect me!"
Emperor Chongzhen: "Ah, it turns out it can still be like this, that's good, that's good!"
Liu Weichao: "You'd better study your mobile phone later, so as not to be stumped by such a simple thing again!"
Emperor Chongzhen: "I thought about it, how about you teach me how to input text? I'm afraid that if I encounter some situations and have to use text input, I won't be able to use it. That would be bad!"
When Liu Weichao saw this message, he felt it made sense.
But then a question was placed in front of him.
For text input, should Emperor Chongzhen be taught Pinyin input or Wubi typing, or something else?
He found that no matter what it was, it was difficult.
But Liu Weichao soon thought that he wanted to help the Ming Dynasty in another dimension. Emperor Chongzhen also said that he also wanted the people of the Ming Dynasty to be literate!
Although it was just mentioned, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely do it if conditions met.
If we want to popularize education, we must promote Pinyin and Mandarin...
This Mandarin seems a bit forced, but if the Mandarin is not standard, there will be problems with Pinyin!
Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit difficult!
While he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen sent a message: "What's wrong? Is my request too much?"
After seeing this message, Liu Weichao decided to tell Emperor Chongzhen his thoughts. As for how he would choose, it was up to him!
With this in mind, he entered text and told Emperor Chongzhen his thoughts.
Although Liu Weichao and Emperor Chongzhen could communicate, it did not mean that there would be no problem in Mandarin.
It's a bit like Emperor Chongzhen being an old man in a remote mountain village. Although he can understand what he says, it's very difficult for him to learn Mandarin Pinyin. It's like a blind man trying to catch an elephant!
This difficulty is very high.
Also, if the pinyin of Mandarin is to be promoted nationwide, it means that everyone must first correct the pronunciation of Chinese characters and then learn the pinyin, which is a very big and even very difficult task.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen fell silent after seeing Liu Weichao's statement.
But just now he had made a strong request, and he was afraid that Liu Weichao would not agree. Now he wanted to reply, "Forget it, I won't study anymore," which was a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, Liu Weichao guessed it after seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't respond for a while.
With an idea, Liu Weichao said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Annotating Chinese characters with pinyin is very conducive to promoting writing. I feel that you can mark your own pinyin based on the pronunciation you use, and then promote it!"
At this point, he suddenly remembered a plot in a time-travel novel, and added: "By the way, it seems that in your time, someone was already thinking about marking out a set of pinyin. When I got off the plane,
When I have time, I will check it out for you, maybe you can use this person."
Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally responded: "Is that true? That would be great! I said that we should make the people of Ming Dynasty literate, and I will definitely not break my promise. I will focus on this when the world is at peace.
Do these things!”
When Liu Weichao saw it, he wrote it down in his mind and went back to search for it, but he was a little worried and didn't know whether it was true or not.
When he was about to explain, the flight attendant suddenly came over, and he had to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "The guys on the plane have to give out food and drinks, so it's not convenient to type. Let's talk later!"
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't expect that he could eat and drink while flying in the sky? Moreover, there were actually waiters on the plane?
Imagine eating and drinking in heaven...
Amazing, really amazing.
By the way, if you can eat and drink in the sky, can you also pull something like that? So it just rains?
It feels a bit incredible!
Emperor Chongzhen wanted to know clearly what would happen if he ate, drank, and defecated in the sky? But since Liu Weichao said it, he had to hold it in for now.
However, when he finally replied, Emperor Chongzhen still made a request: "If you are free, let me see the scenery in the sky?"
This was not considered a presumptuous request, Liu Weichao had agreed to it himself.
"good!"
After seeing this short reply, Emperor Chongzhen put the mobile phone on the royal table, and then stared at the mobile phone and began to think about it.
He already has a profound understanding of the importance of science.
If we say who supports science the most in the Ming Dynasty today, it is definitely Emperor Chongzhen! Because he has seen the power of science, not to mention those of later generations, and he has benefited endlessly from what Liu Weichao gave him, such as the method of smelting fine steel.
Got it!
But if you want to study science and promote science, you cannot get around writing.
The characters Liu Weichao provided are all simplified Chinese characters. According to Liu Weichao, this is a trend, and simplified Chinese characters are easy to write and remember, which are conducive to promotion.
Then should I also standardize Ming Chinese characters?
By the way, you don’t need to worry about this matter yourself, just ask Liu Weichao to give him the full set of Chinese characters, and then issue them to the world!
By promoting from simple to complex, we must not simplify the complex into the simple!
At least I can quickly accept these simple Chinese characters!
Emperor Chongzhen thought about these things in his mind, and made up his mind that it would be better to use the method of later generations!
One very important reason why he was able to make a decision so quickly was that he disliked those scholars today. He wanted to re-select a group of scholars that he could satisfy, and this required a large enough number of scholars.
But at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention ordinary people, even many generals and generals were illiterate. In terms of literacy rate, it was only a little higher in the Jiangnan area, but it was too low in other places.
.
While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, time passed unconsciously, and then his cell phone rang, and it was Liu Weichao who sent a message.
So, he quickly picked up his phone and looked at it.
But I saw that what Liu Weichao sent over were videos one after another.
So, he quickly opened it and found that it was a video taken by Liu Weichao from a window.
When I saw it, I was immediately shocked.
Is this the sky? Above the clouds? This is so beautiful!
It's like being on thick white cotton, and you can't see the end at a glance.
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was possible to walk on these clouds?
Ordinary people can't do it, but maybe immortals can?
Liu Weichao sent several videos to Emperor Chongzhen, which made him very yearning and wanted to go up to the clouds to see it himself.
If there is such a chance to go to heaven in life, it will be really worth it!
Without realizing it, he told Liu Weichao this idea.
When Liu Weichao heard this, he felt funny in his heart. Emperor Chongzhen would never think about it in his lifetime based on the meager foundation of the late Ming Dynasty.
However, he quickly thought of another situation and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Although you can't build a plane, you can build a hot air balloon. You can also go up to the sky. Of course, you can't be as high as me and reach the clouds."
But it’s ultimately up to God, you can try it.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed, and then quickly asked: "Is this hot air balloon expensive?"
If it costs too much money, you can only wait until later. Although I have a lot of money in my hands now, there are still too many places to spend money. But you can't just spend money randomly for your own preferences. That is a fool!
"It shouldn't be very expensive, right? I'm not sure about your situation there." Liu Weichao said hesitantly, "It's just a large Kongming lantern that can hold people up."
After a pause, he added: "By the way, this hot air balloon is not just for fun. Standing high and seeing far, coupled with a telescope, it will be of great use in the military, especially
Used to defend the city!"
Seeing these words, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized: "It turns out to be the Kongming Lantern, I know this! It is used to defend the city... By the way, Kaifeng will soon start a several-month city defense battle. I will take a look at the situation to see if
It can give some help to Kaifeng!"
Of course he attaches great importance to the Battle of Kaifeng. But he wants to stabilize the base of the capital, so he can only give priority to the capital. Now that there is a simple way to support Kaifeng, he will definitely not not do it.
