"If there are evil people who harbor rebellious intentions and want to overthrow our Tang Dynasty,
"They can also follow suit and create automatic firearms to fight against our Tang Dynasty. Wouldn't the world be in chaos then?" Li Shimin said with a worried look on his face.
After hearing this, Li Haoze was stunned.
He didn't expect that Li Shimin would consider the use of automatic firearms from this perspective.
No wonder, no wonder he was so concerned about automatic firearms, even the most elite Qianniu Guards were not equipped with them.
It turned out that he was worried that power would fall into the hands of others and that war would break out again.
However, Li Haoze quickly reacted and smiled disapprovingly, "Old Emperor, you are thinking too much.
Automatic firearms are powerful, but not everyone can easily make them.
What’s more, we can strengthen confidentiality measures to prevent technology leaks.”
“Besides, even if someone really did obtain the firearms manufacturing technology, so what?
Can't we create more advanced weapons?" Li Haoze showed a look of disdain on his face.
"More advanced weapons?" Li Shimin was immediately shocked, because in his opinion, automatic firearms were already ingenious enough.
If it is abused, the resulting carnage will definitely be...doomsday level.
But the little beast actually has a more advanced weapon in its mouth? How powerful would that be?
"Little divine beast, can you tell me in detail about the more advanced weapons you mentioned?" Li Shimin asked tentatively, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in his eyes.
Li Haoze looked at Li Shimin's expression and felt amused.
He knew that the bait of "more advanced weapons" that he had inadvertently thrown out had successfully aroused Li Shimin's interest.
Logically speaking, since he had the means to control Li Shimin, he should have demanded enough benefits from him before revealing more information.
But, who made Li Haoze want to spread the glory of the Tang Dynasty throughout the world and accumulate more attention?
In addition, the little princess had already satisfied all his desires, so there was no need for Li Shimin's approval.
Therefore, this time Li Haoze said generously, "Since you, old emperor, are so interested, I will explain it to you in detail."
Li Shimin immediately sat up straight and prepared to listen attentively.
Li Haoze cleared his throat and began to narrate: "Old Emperor, have you ever thought about a weapon that can fire arrows automatically and continuously without the need for human intervention?"
Li Shimin's eyes widened as he asked curiously, "Is there a weapon more automated than an automatic firearm?"
"That's right." Li Haoze nodded and continued, "If we enlarge this kind of arrow, fill it with gunpowder, and then put it on a steam carriage to pull it..."
As Li Haoze continued to narrate, the scene of such a rain of arrows firing at once gradually emerged in Li Shimin's mind. How spectacular and shocking it would be!
He seemed to have seen the enemy on the battlefield helplessly defeated in the endless rain of arrows, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty won the victory with a crushing force.
"That... little divine beast!" Li Shimin's expression was extremely flattering. "Is this fire arrow easy to make?"
Li Haoze looked at Li Shimin's anxious and expectant expression, and laughed in his heart.
He deliberately kept the question in suspense and said slowly, "Well, this is both difficult and easy."
When Li Shimin heard this, he became anxious and said quickly, "Little beast, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now!"
Seeing this, Li Haoze stopped teasing him and said seriously, "To make this kind of firearm arrow, we must first solve the problem of gunpowder.
The gunpowder we currently use is not powerful enough and the formula needs to be further improved.
Secondly, the manufacturing of the arrow body requires precise craftsmanship and special materials.
Finally, there is the design of the launcher, which is also the most critical link."
"After all, even if we make arrows, whether we can shoot them accurately is still a question..."
Li Shimin nodded repeatedly after listening. Although he knew nothing about these technical details, he could feel the confidence and professionalism revealed in Li Haoze's words.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: “Little beast, I believe you have this ability.
As long as you can make this kind of firearm arrow, the Tang Dynasty will be more stable, and you will be the pillar of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Alright, alright, stop praising me!" Li Haoze waved his hand. "This weapon is just an example I gave you."
"In the future, our Tang Dynasty will be able to possess even more powerful weapons.
Don't hide your automatic firearms, take them out as soon as possible to annihilate the four barbarians and build the Great Tang Empire!"
However, Li Shimin still shook his head firmly, "It still won't work!"
Li Haoze frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is it still not working? Is what I said not clear enough, or do you have any concerns?"
Li Shimin sighed and said slowly: "Little beast, I naturally understand your thoughts, and I believe in your ability and vision.
However, the power of this automatic firearm is too great, so it is best to keep it in the hands of my royal family, so that my Tang Dynasty can be forever secure! "
"Of course..." After saying that, Li Shimin changed the subject again, "The most important thing is that with the red cannons, coupled with the hundreds of thousands of black-armored cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, we can conquer the world without any rivals!"
Li Haoze was slightly stunned after hearing this, but then he understood Li Shimin's intention.
That is to block advanced war weapons as much as possible so that they can only be used by the Tang royal family, and then create a Tang Dynasty that can be passed down from generation to generation and remain prosperous forever.
At the same time, Li Shimin was also well aware that the existing red cannons and black-armored cavalry had given the Tang Dynasty unrivaled military strength.
However, as a person from the modern era, Li Haoze does not agree with this closed concept of technology.
He was well aware of the unstoppable development of science and technology and the inevitable emergence of new weapons.
But at this moment, he found that he could not find any effective rebuttal.
After all, he was also one of the beneficiaries of the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty.
The contradiction and irritability in his heart made Li Haoze blurt out: "Since you have an idea in your mind, then go ahead and do it. Why are you asking such a question?"
This situation where reality and ideals conflict with each other makes Li Haoze feel quite upset.
Li Shimin was startled by Li Haoze's sudden loud voice. He stared at the little beast in front of him who suddenly became excited.
Although Li Haoze's words were rude, they made him feel inexplicably excited.
"Fuck him, why are you asking such a question?" These words echoed in Li Shimin's mind. He seemed to see a Tang Dynasty that was brave and fearless.
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Good! What a great phrase! 'Fuck him!' Little beast, you're right!"
Our Tang Dynasty is now strong and powerful, so we should conquer the four barbarians and build a great empire on which the sun never sets! "
