Ang Lee did not need so many rare treasures, nor did he need too many beauties. However, these were the kind intentions of the kings of the various countries. If he did not accept them, these kings would feel uneasy. Therefore, for the sake of the friendship between the Tang dynasty and the various countries, Ang Lee could only reluctantly agree.
The rare treasures were easy to deal with. He just needed to store them in his mansion. However, Ang Lee was worried about how to deal with so many exotic beauties.
Although these beauties were very good-looking and were carefully selected by the various countries, there were too many of them. No matter how capable Ang Lee was, he would not be able to enjoy them.
After thinking about it, he could only send them to the palace. At least 90% of the beauties had to be sent to the palace. Only in this way would it be appropriate. At the same time, he could put in a few good words for the various countries and say that they were sent to the emperor.
Of course, Ang Lee would never treat himself unfairly. With so many beauties, he had to enjoy a few of them! This journey to the west was so tiring. It would not be right if he did not reward himself.
The facilities in the train were very complete. There was no lack of beds, sofas, baths, and other facilities. This provided good conditions for Ang Lee to pamper these exotic beauties.
The steady train slowly moved to the east. Ang Lee was lying on a soft couch. There were six exotic beauties around him. They were all in the prime of their youth, and each of them was fascinating.
If they were placed in the future, they would all be little buds of the motherland. They would belong to the minors and be protected by the state. However, this was the era of the Tang dynasty. At the age of 16, they could be considered adults. Many people who were not yet 16 were already a bunch of children. Therefore, Ang Lee was following the trend of the times and did not feel guilty at all.
Two of them massaged Ang Lee's shoulders, two of them massaged his thighs. One of them held Ang Lee's head and massaged his temples. The other one rode on top of him and reached out to gently stroke Ang Lee's strong body. Her face was full of admiration.
"Master is so strong. Much stronger than the men of our Kang Kingdom."
"Oh, is that so? Where am I strong? Show me. "
"Master, here, here, and here, and …"
A mesmerizing beauty with drunken eyes was gently caressing every part of Li An's body. Her teasing intent was extremely strong.
"Oh, oh, oh …"
Ang Lee heaved a sigh of relief as his thick and strong body was held by the beauty's small hands. He then pulled the beauty into his arms and gently kissed her neck that was overflowing with fragrance.
"Master, what about us?"
"Yes, all of them. Don't worry, don't worry."
Ang Lee kissed them one by one. Of course, he stroked and kneaded them. Since they were his slaves, he could play with them however he wanted. Relaxing like this was very beneficial to his physical and mental health.
"Master, I heard that Chang 'an City is the largest city in the world. The place we live in must be very big too!"
"Master, how long do we need to reach Chang 'an City?"
"Master, tell us about the situation in Chang 'an City!"
Ang Lee smiled and said, "When we reach Chang 'an City, you will naturally know. Come, let your master pamper you."
After he finished speaking, he pulled one of the most delicate beauties into his arms.
"Master, I want it too."
"Master, and me too."
The five beauties did not give up. Ang Lee felt his entire body go limp. He felt so good.
"Okay, okay, okay, all of you. Master will give all of you. All of you kneel down, lie in a circle, and lean your heads together. Yes, just like that."
Ang Lee commanded as he admired the beauties kneeling together. It was the first time that Ang Lee appreciated such a delicate six-petaled plum blossom.
For Ang Lee, who was in the prime of his life, it was a piece of cake for him to pamper six beauties at the same time. It was really fun to take turns like this. No wonder all the banquets in the later generations were like this. It turned out to be so interesting.
With beauties accompanying him every day, Ang Lee was so happy that he almost forgot about home. He really wished that the train would slow down. However, the train would never slow down. After a few days, they arrived at the capital city, Chang 'an.
Ang Lee was a little tired, but overall, he was still very energetic. He did not feel sick or overly tired.
After traveling west for a few months, he returned to the capital city. Naturally, there were many officials who came to greet him. However, Ang Lee did not care about these conventions. He would not change his view of the officials because of whether they came to greet him or not.
Ang Lee was more concerned about the progress of technology and industrialization. In the few months that he was away, how was the development of technology? Was the research and development plan completed before he left?
After a simple preparation, Ang Lee rushed to the R&D Center in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the R&D Center, Ang Lee saw a lot of new products that had just been developed and improved. There were improved agricultural machines and newly developed comfortable cars. Of course, there were also various kinds of equipment that had been built in batches.
These products brought a steady stream of financial resources to the imperial court of the Tang dynasty. As a result, the R&D Center could get more financial support and develop more advanced equipment to achieve the purpose of a virtuous cycle.
"Assistant Minister Li, is there a new R&D task?"
Seeing Ang Lee come, several officials and technical talents all gathered around.
Ang Lee smiled, took out the model plane that had been drawn long ago, and handed it to everyone.
"Assistant Minister Li, what is this? It looks like a large bird. Could it be that it can fly into the sky?"
"No way! This stupid bird can fly? "
"Assistant Minister Li, what is the use of this thing? Can it really fly? "
Everyone was shocked by the model plane.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Look carefully. This thing is called a plane. It can fly in the sky and carry people. In the future, it will only take a few hours to go from Chang 'an to Luoyang. Amazing, right?"
"A plane can take people to the sky and fly to Luoyang in a few hours. Isn't that even faster than a bird?"
"Assistant Minister Li, can this thing really be built? If it can really be built, it will be very convenient for us to travel in the future. "
"Taking people to the sky? I don't even dare to think about it!"
Everyone was shocked by Ang Lee's words. After all, the concept of a plane was not something that these ancient people could understand. It was inevitable that they would be shocked.
The reason why Ang Lee was so confident in developing the aviation industry of the Tang dynasty was that in recent years, various kinds of machinery had been continuously improved and the gradual expansion of scientific and technological talents had been gradually strengthened. Without a huge number of technical talents and industrial machinery, Ang Lee would not dare to rashly take out the design drawings of a plane.
Of course, the plane that Ang Lee wanted to develop was not the advanced heavy jet of the future, but the oldest wooden propeller plane. It could be regarded as a first-generation plane. The difficulty of developing this kind of plane was not very high, and the consumption of resources was relatively small. It could be used as a preliminary plan. When this first-generation small plane matured, it would be better to develop it. However, at most, it could only stop before the second-generation plane. A plane that was too complicated would be too difficult to make, and it would be fine as long as it had enough.
"This plane … Here's what's going on …"
Ang Lee used the most concise language to explain the plane's situation so that everyone could understand. As for the detailed principle and manufacturing process of the plane, it was impossible to explain in one or two sentences. It needed long-term planning.
Although Ang Lee had expressed it very clearly, the people of this era still could not understand the behemoth of a plane.
Ang Lee had to explain it with the principle of birds flying and gliding so that they could understand a thing or two. In this way, the following work would be easier to carry out.
After listening to Ang Lee's more detailed explanation, everyone finally understood a little. However, the concept of the plane still surprised them. Of course, it also ignited their enthusiasm for research and development. If they could really invent a machine that could fly in the sky, wouldn't that feel too cool?
After the enthusiasm, everyone was very active in asking about the various situations of the plane, the principle of each part and the manufacturing process. These details could not be explained in a few words. Ang Lee could only briefly introduce the principle of the wing, and then let them look at the drawings first. He would start to explain slowly the next day.
When they returned to the courtyard, it was already very late. Most people had already gone to bed. Only a few people on night duty were patrolling back and forth.
Since the mansion had been lit up at night, the people patrolling at night did not need to use lanterns. Almost all corners could be seen clearly.
"Alang is back!"
Zhao Liu and several servants saw Ang Lee walking into the courtyard and quickly greeted him.
"Are the madams all asleep?"
"Not yet. The madams heard that Alang has returned to the capital and have been waiting for Alang. They just sent someone to ask."
Zhao Liu replied.
"Well, you all rest!"
Ang Lee stepped into the backyard. After not seeing him for a few months, the madams must have missed him to death.
"Babies, your husband is back!"
Ang Lee walked quickly to the main courtyard and shouted to greet them. When he walked in, he saw several people sitting around playing poker. When they saw him coming in, they quickly put away the poker cards and got up to greet him.
"This concubine respectfully welcomes my husband back."
All the women bowed together, but there was a mischievous smile on the corner of their mouth.
"Get up, all of you get up. No need to be so courteous. Come, let your husband take a good look. Oh, you've all lost so much weight. Your husband's heart aches. You should eat more."
Ang Lee pinched their little cheeks one by one and sighed.
In fact, the women did not lose much weight. It was just that they were used to seeing slightly plump foreign beauties recently and were a little uncomfortable. This expression could also show his love for the madams.
"My husband left for a few months and is not in a hurry to return home. Instead, he ran off to do other things. Are those things really so important? What's wrong with delaying them for a day?"
"That's right, are those machines more important than us?"
In a moment of carelessness, the temperament of a resentful wife was revealed. They did not care about the few hours, but Ang Lee had been away for a few months. When he finally came back, he was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he ran off to do those cold machines, which naturally made them resentful.
"Look, you've become a resentful wife so soon. The reason why I went to the R&D center was that I had a new research and development task. I wanted to let them know first. Once this thing is made, it will be of great benefit to the Tang dynasty. I guess you don't even dare to think about it."
Ang Lee said proudly.
"We don't even dare to think about it. What is it? Tell us about it. "
Yan Ruyu asked.
"It's an airplane, a big guy that can fly in the sky. Isn't it awesome?"
Ang Lee said proudly.
"A machine that can fly in the sky? Can it really be made?"
"How is that possible? What kind of amazing machine can fly in the sky? Isn't it a bird? "
"Let the cold machines fly in the sky. My husband is really daring."
Like the people in the R&D center, these wives did not believe that machines could fly in the sky at all.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "If you all think that machines can't fly in the sky, why can birds fly in the sky?"
"Isn't it simple? Birds have wings. Of course, they can fly in the sky."
"Yes, birds have wings. You can't add wings to machines, can you?"
"Well, my husband, do you mean to add wings to machines?"
Ang Lee slapped his thigh and said seriously, "Yes, I'm going to add wings to machines this time. Once the machines are equipped with wings, they can fly in the sky. They can also fly in the sky, just like birds. "
"Is this true? Add wings to machines so that they can fly in the sky. "
"No way! Anyway, I don't believe it. Add wings to machines and they can fly like birds. Who would believe that? "
"Yes, I don't believe it either. My husband must be kidding us."
"My husband, are you kidding us? Even if an iron guy has wings, it's impossible for it to fly! "
Ang Lee smiled and looked at the wives. "Birds can fly with wings. Why can't machines fly with wings?"
"That's right! Birds can fly with wings. Why can't machines fly with wings? "
Little Ya 'er felt that Ang Lee made sense.
"How can it be the same? Why don't Sister Ya 'er tie a pair of wings to her body and see if she can fly? "
"Yes, birds are light, so they can fly with wings. If they are as heavy as humans, how can they fly even if they have wings? If they are as heavy as machines, it's even more impossible for them to fly."
"That's right. How heavy would a machine be? How big would the wings need to be to fly? How can I fly to the sky? "
Yan Ruyu clearly didn't believe him.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't believe me. Let's see what you say when a machine that can fly is built."
"My husband, from your tone, you don't sound like you're joking! Could it be that you can really create a machine that can fly? That's too magical. "
"My husband, then tell me how big this machine should be and how high it should fly."
Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "If we want to use a plane, it has to be at least as big as our house or even bigger. As for how high it can fly, it has to be at least higher than the clouds."
"Bigger than this house?"
"Flying higher than the clouds?"
