Chapter 306
The next day, the weather was clear and crisp!
Everyone had already prepared to leave for the palace, and now they were gathered in the living room waiting for Su Chen.
Su Chen had been up for a while, but he didn't plan to go to the palace too early today.
In the past, he went to the palace early because the weather was hot.
After washing up, he exchanged the five-layer cream cake and put it in the study.
At the same time, he exchanged twenty lighters, and then took out the compass and put it in the study.
Su Chen confirmed that there were no items in the mall that were suitable for guerrillas to use in the wild, and even if there were, it would be inconvenient to carry.
The five-layer cake was not heavy but a bit large, nearly three feet high.
It was not easy to walk alone and would block the view.
The outer packaging was very exquisite. Except for the lack of text on the outer packaging, the rest was similar to that of later generations.
Especially the colorful ribbons tied together.
'Go have breakfast first, and draw a map later. ' Then, he got up and left the study.
When Su Chen came to the living room, he saw Princess Changle and others were all there.
"You are all here. Have you had breakfast?" Su Chen was a little surprised. They were not waiting for him.
"I am waiting for you. Go and eat quickly." Princess Changle smiled.
"Wait for me? You don't have to go to the palace so early today. It's not too late to set off after lunch." As expected by Su Chen, they were waiting for Su Chen to set off for Chang'an.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Li Tai looked at Su Chen depressedly and got up to leave.
Su Chen hurriedly called Li Tai, "Wait before you go. I have something to discuss with you. I will have breakfast quickly."
Regardless of whether Li Tai agreed or not, Su Chen walked towards the restaurant.
Today's breakfast is vegetable buns, millet porridge and small fried dough sticks.
...
In less than five minutes, Su Chen finished his breakfast.
"Let's go to the study to talk!"
Su Chen planned to talk to Li Tai about the guerrillas and wanted to hear his opinions.
Although Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, was present yesterday, everyone had different ideas.
Li Tai is a rare smart man.
Su Chen spent more than ten minutes telling Li Tai in detail the reasons for proposing guerrilla tactics yesterday and the concept of guerrilla warfare.
Li Tai thought quietly. He had no experience in marching and fighting.
After a while, Su Chen told Li Tai his concerns.
"Su Chen, I have only a superficial understanding of military affairs, but I think the Duke of Dai is here.
Since he did not raise any questions and was supportive and agreed with the guerrilla warfare you mentioned, then this must be feasible.
So you don't have to worry too much."
Li Tai did not understand military affairs, so he could only analyze the situation described by Su Chen to dispel Su Chen's concerns.
"Besides, soldiers are in danger everywhere outside, and various situations are ever-changing. No one can be foolproof!"
Li Tai continued to enlighten.
Su Chen nodded silently and thought to himself: 'Yes, the God of War did not object, he must have some understanding of the Eastern Turks. ’
"You make sense. I'll redraw some maps now.
Wait for me for a while. I'll go with you to look at the telescope after the maps are drawn."
Su Chen picked up the pen and started to draw.
When Li Tai came into the study, he saw the tall cake box on the desk.
He didn't know what was inside, and didn't ask.
He picked up a lighter on the desk and looked at it carefully.
He accidentally opened the lid on the top of the lighter, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Li Tai was frightened and thought he had accidentally broken it.
He looked at Su Chen timidly and found that Su Chen was concentrating on drawing and it was inconvenient to disturb him.
"That's a lighter. You can light a fire by sliding the small roller with your hand!" Su Chen reminded without raising his head.
Li Tai felt relieved when he heard this, and gently slid the ignition tongue oil tanker as Su Chen said.
Li Tai tried several times but failed to light a fire.
"Use some force to slide faster, lighters are not that easy to break." Su Chen reminded again.
Li Tai nodded silently and slid the lighter hard.
Sure enough, a cluster of flames floated on the top of the lighter.
This phenomenon shocked Li Tai.
Any way of igniting in the Tang Dynasty now has limitations.
Unexpectedly, such a lighter can produce flames anytime and anywhere, which really surprised Li Tai.
"This... What is the principle?"
Su Chen ignored him, because it was useless to say it out, and such a lighter could not be made at present.
"Don't waste it, lighters are only used to ignite fire, and continuous burning will consume the fuel inside.
Cover the lid, and I'll give you that one.
Stop arguing, I want to draw a map..."
Li Tai quickly pressed the lid of the lighter and held it tightly in his hand.
In order not to affect Su Chen's painting, Li Tai planned to ask Su Chen about the principle of lighter ignition later.
About half an hour later, Su Chen finished drawing twoMap of Eastern Turkestan.
The map depicts the location of mountains, forests, and rivers, and is accompanied by text to describe its terrain.
"Okay, let's go. Let's go see the telescope you made." Su Chen stood up and said.
The two walked out of the study and came to the living room. Princess Changle and the others had already left.
"I brought two here. See how they work." Li Tai picked up the telescope he brought in the morning and handed it to Su Chen.
After Su Chen took the "telescope", he looked at both ends.
The trumpet mouth made of copper tubes, one end is big and the other end is small.
The shape is similar, but I don't know how the magnification effect is.
Su Chen walked to the square outside, picked up the telescope and looked at the distant forest.
"How far is this place from that forest?" Su Chen was not good at visually estimating distances, and he estimated that it was about one thousand meters.
Li Tai looked at the forest Su Chen pointed to and said:
"About two miles, a little less, about 530 steps." Li Tai squinted and said to the distant forest.
‘Two li is slightly worse? That’s about 800 meters.’
Su Chen muttered, while putting one end of the telescope’s eyepiece on his left eye. Su Chen’s left eye has better vision than his right eye.
“Hey, you’re really talented!”
Su Chen could see the rough edge of a stone on the hillside of the forest through the telescope, but he couldn’t see it when he took the telescope away.
The stone was bigger than the round table for dinner, at least it looked like that through the telescope.
This shows that the telescope made by Li Tai has a good magnification effect.
“The aperture of this objective lens can be made larger, and it’s basically enough to see objects 1,500 meters away.”
Su Chen put down the telescope and said to Li Tai.
Then, he shook the telescope hard a few times, and there was a little sound.
“Well, it takes some effort to fix the lens inside.”
Li Tai looked at Su Chen and asked, “How many li are 1,500 meters?”
Su Chen thought for a while and replied, “It’s the 1,500 steps you said.”
One step in the Tang Dynasty was: the distance of one step taken by each foot.
About: 1.5 meters.
Three hundred steps equal one mile.
Li Tai nodded and said, "I will make further improvements in two days and strive to achieve the effect you mentioned."
"Well, I appreciate your attitude!
Good, keep up the good work!"
Su Chen said, patting Li Tai on the shoulder.
"Tsk!" Li Tai was speechless.
