Chapter 646 This thing is a telescope, a telescope!
However, now that we know the existence of pirates and the economic logic of pirate activities,
So now...
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji naturally cheered up immediately.
The two of them chatted with Li Sheng for a while, and then Li Sheng continued to go back, while Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji both looked solemn.
"It seems that on this sea..."
Chai Shao took a breath slowly, "It's not as peaceful as we imagined."
"I'm afraid there are also turbulent undercurrents regarding sea trade. Alas..."
Changsun Wuji looked at the sea waves from a distance and sighed softly, "The Turks are gone, but the Tang Dynasty is still not peaceful...it doesn't seem to be much different from before."
"Um……"
Chai Shao pondered for a while after hearing this, and then suddenly gave a wry smile.
"How can we say there is no difference? Let alone the Turks on the sea, if it hadn't been for the intervention of the Holy Marquis, we would still be worried about the Turks on the ground."
While Chai Shao was sighing with emotion, Changsun Wuji suddenly said,
"By the way, what did the Holy Marquis give you? Is it of great use to military affairs?"
When Changsun Wuji asked, Chai Shao couldn't help but be startled and picked up the wooden box in his hand.
This thing was given to Li Sheng when he left, saying it would be useful in the army.
Since Chai Shao was here to help Li Sheng lead the troops and look after the team, he naturally accepted it without saying much.
However, when Changsun Wuji asked, Chai Shao became curious about what it was.
With such a large size, how useful can it be?
The supplies in the army are either grain and grass, vehicles, bulk or baggage, all of which are crude and cumbersome things.
Look at this shaped wooden box given by Li Sheng...
Could it be that there are swords and swords inside?
but……
This kind of thing, speaking of it, in the circle of warriors, it has always been a traditional gift to give it to the generals. After all, as a warrior, you must know about swords, and it is normal to like to collect them.
Especially in Datang.
But...it's also because as a true general, Chai Shao also knows that although these swords and swords are good, their value is simply a collection.
Real battlefields, hidden arrows, ambushes, rolling wood and rocks, these things are beyond the capabilities of swords and swords. In other words, the actual combat value is actually very average.
However, Chai Shao would not take Li Sheng's gift lightly.
Then I opened the wooden box and took a look...
Seeing this, Chai Shao couldn't help but be stunned.
What's inside is not a sword, but a wooden tube!
It's about two feet long and about the same thickness as an average large wine glass.
What... is this thing used for?
Chai Shao couldn't help but look up at Changsun Wuji, but judging from the other person's expression, it was obvious that Changsun Wuji didn't know what it was.
Chai Shao couldn't help but be stunned...
What on earth is this thing?
but……
After picking it up and looking at it, Chai Shao discovered it.
There seems to be light shining at both ends of the wooden tube. Hold it upright and take a closer look inside...
If you don't look at it, just take a look...
Chai Shao discovered that there seemed to be sparkling light inside, and it actually seemed to be inlaid with precious stones.
Soon Changsun Wuji also discovered it.
Now I am fascinated, this strange wooden stick is inlaid with gems...
The key is that this gem is not set on the outside, but on the inside.
This is very strange. No matter what it is - now it seems that it should be some kind of ornament - if it is to be inlaid with gems, why is it inlaid inside?
What kind of magical aesthetic is this?
And since it is an accessory, what value does it have to the army? Who cares what accessory you wear except the army?
Perhaps generals sometimes wear more conspicuous clothes in order to let soldiers standing far away see where the general is, but...
What use do you think such a big piece of jewelry can be used for?
Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji were both confused. This thing came out of nowhere...
but……
After playing with it for a while, Chai Shao looked east and west, then simply picked up the "ornament" and looked at it with his eyes.
Originally, I wanted to see what the mystery was and what kind of gem this gem was...
If there is anything special about this thing that deserves attention, it is the gem inside. It seems to be transparent, so it should be relatively precious.
However, after guessing this, Chai Shao looked into his eyes and immediately discovered what was really wrong, and his expression suddenly changed.
At this moment, Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to vaguely remember something in his mind...
"This...this tube, how..."
Chai Shao stuttered when he spoke.
A long time passed before I remembered that Changsun Wuji was still here, so I stopped and looked at the latter in amazement.
"This... this wooden tube..."
"I can see things in the distance through this wooden tube!"
Chai Shao's words were a bit meaningless.
Can see things in the distance through the wooden tube——
Doesn’t that mean this thing is hollow?
This can only mean that this thing is indeed a wooden tube, not a wooden stick.
Other than that, there's nothing else.
but……
Changsun Wuji did not show any confusion about what Chai Shao said, but the expression on his face was even more excited than Chai Shao's.
And what puzzled Chai Shao was that Changsun Wuji was not only excited, but also had a touch of joy on his face.
The color of surprise!
This made Chai Shao confused for a while.
"Brother Changsun, what's wrong? This is..."
"Brother Chai, congratulations to Brother Chai! Hahahaha!"
Changsun Wuji suddenly laughed,
Chai Shao was even more confused. Why did he suddenly congratulate him?
But then he knew,
Changsun Wuji said with excitement, "This thing is a telescope, a telescope!"
"Telescope? What is a telescope?"
When Chai Shao saw that Changsun Wuji seemed to know something, he immediately frowned in thought.
The term telescope...
I seem to have heard of it somewhere?
And this name does match the thing in my hand... quite well.
"Brother Chai, this thing was also made by the Holy Marquis. Because Brother Chai has not led many troops in recent years, he may not know it, but the Holy Marquis gave this thing to several Dukes. Duke Wei and others feel like they have obtained a treasure!
"
"Is this happening?!"
Chai Shao was a little surprised. Wei Guogong was called Wei Gong for short.
In later generations, a book called "The Art of War" was circulated.
And this Duke Wei is none other than the number one general of our time, Li Jing!
Although there was a setback in the Turks, this matter has been going on for so long, and now basically, at least in the martial arts circle, everyone knows that there is an insider in the court who is causing trouble, and it is not that Li Jing is incompetent.
On the contrary, Li Jing not only did not fail, but also managed to save the army even though an insider leaked the grenade blueprints and even delivered actual grenades to the Turks, thus defeating the enemy. Everyone had to be convinced by this.
All in all, Li Jing was basically the most prestigious person in the Tang army.
Even Li Jing was full of praise...
When Changsun Wuji said this, Chai Shao immediately remembered what it was.
