When the moon rose, Li Longji finally saw the still round moon, felt the bright moon rising in the sea, and the ends of the world were at this moment.

At the same time, I also saw what the lighthouse looked like. I used to see paintings and small models.[]

There is a model of a lighthouse in Xingqing Palace in the capital. It is small in size and is made of wood. It floats in the water and candles can be placed on it. You can see it swaying at night.

I knew it was a place specifically for the guidance of the road. I saw it with my own eyes today and felt fooled. I asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, why is this lighthouse different from what you gave me?"

"Different? Naturally, one is big and one is small, one is standing in the sea water, and the other is placed in the fresh water." Zhang Xiaobao was slightly stunned and said calmly.

"I said I was afraid that it was not the case, but the lighthouse you sent was floating on the water, and the lighthouse is motionless right now. At first I was wondering if there were two kinds of lighthouses, one was on the island and reef, and the other was like a boat. After all, you can find it in the sea without finding an island or a large reef.

Seeing the sea at this moment, thinking about it again, it is difficult to build a floating one. Even the largest ship is standing on the sea all day long and cannot bear it when encountering wind and waves."

Li Longji emphasized, that means, Xiaobao, why are you lying? If I just come and see it with my own eyes, I have always thought that the existence of two kinds of lighthouses will be. If I talk about it to others in the future and others have seen it later, I will not be able to laugh at me in my heart?

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Li Longji in surprise and looked at Gao Lishi again. Gao Lishi nodded and admitted.

"Are you afraid of the lighthouse when you float?" Zhang Xiaobao asked Wang Juan.

Wang Juan gave Zhang Xiaobao a blank look and said, "Do you think it's a drilling platform? The quality of the things you sent is not up to standard, and the glue underneath is opened."

"Oh, Your Majesty, I heard that it was not floating, but because your management was not qualified, the base was glued open. When you go back, you can stick it back and remember to maintain it regularly." Zhang Xiaobao transferred the responsibility.

Li Longji nodded after hearing this, but did not continue to pursue this matter. He could not go back to Beijing to kill the person in charge of the model. He also felt that Zhang Xiaobao was not well-managed and did not give him a warranty.

He is now interested in the drilling platform that Wang Juan said and asked: "What is a drilling platform?

Go down to find fresh water in the sea?”

"For those who are looking for oil, freshwater is not worth the money." Zhang Xiaobao explained: "There is a lot of oil below the sea around our Tang Dynasty. It is better than the oil we find from the ground, and more, and there is no need to travel far away, waiting to occupy other people's original land for long-distance transportation."

"Oh, is there oil under the sea? Hurry up, I can pay for it." Li Longji was excited. He also knew about the Ministry of Industry. He is now refining a large amount of oil. He looks amazing. Oil can be regarded as more than just a fire-burning thing.

Although he was satisfied with the oil refining technology every time he talked to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan about the technology of oil refining, it was obvious that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had reached the point where they could not bear the current refining technology.

It is said that the amount of refining is caused by a large amount of pollution, and a lot of waste is still needed during the refining process. The freezing technology can only drop to zero and cannot be reduced. Many things are not collected. It is not that I don’t want to collect them, but that I am afraid that I will put them in some jars. Then, before I collect the gas that can burn for two times of fire, it suddenly explodes.

Not to mention other chemical products.

On the other hand, oil is difficult to exploit. In addition to other places found that can flow out by itself, you need to dig a hole and then go over and fill it with buckets, fill it up one by one, and then take it up.

With such advanced mining technology, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could only stare at him.

Li Long was always thinking about whether there could be better oil and make it easier to get it out.

At this moment, I had the idea of ​​under the sea, looking very urgent.

Not only him, but Empress Wang and others also looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with hope, and Gao Lishi spoke directly.

"Xiaobao, isn't it more difficult than digging a hole on the ground? So you don't plan to find oil in the sea?"

"It's not just a hard work? I have always wanted to get oil in the sea. With this shipbuilding technology, I went to another place and mined it from the land. Anyway, I used pressure to pull out the oil. The land is much simpler than the sea.

This is a dream. Wait. When our descendants come to do this, I probably won’t see it unless I have produced countless geniuses in the Tang Dynasty. Without taking detours and avoiding forks, when I get old, I can see oil and natural gas continuously pulling out from the sea.

Now, let’s watch the lighthouse. The first lighthouse, the people who guard the tower inside probably wouldn’t guess who they were.”

Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly and regretfully that he would not have much hope for the matter of drawing oil from the sea, and even the simplest shipbuilding technology would not be achieved.

With that kind of technology, the Tang Dynasty could easily conquer the ocean, at least relatively speaking, with fewer deaths than now.

In fact, we can conquer the ocean now, and fill it with countless ships and countless lives. The era of sailing boats can be said to be able to conquer the ocean, not to mention the second-generation steam engine.

The tonnage is larger, and with sails, it is much better than Spain at that time. The most important thing is that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can draw pictures of ocean currents to avoid ships running around, and at the same time, there are various maritime prevention measures.

The only thing to worry about is the weather problem. There is no way to do this. Even in the era of satellites, there are still ship accidents.

As for reefs, it is easy to deal with. The boats do not act alone. Every time they go out, they are ships, and they are not allowed to be fully loaded or fully loaded.

A boat hits a reef and turns the person out first, then see if the cargo can be taken out. Other ships will detour and mark the reef. By constantly trying, a safe waterway can always be found.

It would be even better if anyone got the sonar.

When Zhang Xiaobao was thinking about the good things in the future, the boat had already reached the small dock of the lighthouse. The small dock could only stop the boat at a moderate level. The big boat could not come, otherwise it would have really hit the reef.

Even medium-sized ships should be carefully controlled and docked at places where someone dives out.

Usually, large ships do not replenish supplies at the lighthouse, but only use the light of the lighthouse. At night, they need to replenish supplies when positioning the hull, and they also need some fresh water.

The tamsui was brought to the lighthouse by a large ship. It specially built a water storage pool and placed it at the lighthouse. There was a shortage of tamsui and there were other things that could not be returned to the port.

In addition to providing guidance channels, the lighthouse is not very large, mainly for fishing boats for fishermen. When encountering wind and waves, they have to run to the lighthouse to dock.

Then put your hope on God and don’t let the boats parked at the small pier be stirred up by the wind and waves, smashed into pieces, and really smashed into pieces, and you will also think you are unlucky. Just live.

When the boat approached the shore, the person guarding the tower in the lighthouse had already come out. He held a glass oil lamp in his hand. After shaking it twice, he shouted: "Which boat?"

A man who was rowing shouted back: "Luzhou, I just came out of Luzhou and came to have a meal."

"Where is a boat in Luzhou? I don't understand the rules? The weather has not changed. I don't bring food to myself? I toss us at night." The people guarding the lighthouse were obviously dissatisfied in their words. They stood there and did not come near to help tie the boat. The boats were tied with ropes and would not throw them.

If you really see a small boat falling down when it stops, the owner of the boat will probably be the biggest fool.

Li Longji thought the other party would come over happily. Didn’t he say that the lighthouse is the home of the seagoing people? Why was he still unhappy? So he asked, “What’s the situation?”

Two people who rowed the boat, one jumped ashore to tie a rope, and the other replied when he was setting up a springboard: "Reply to your Majesty, the so-called rules are an unwritten rule between the people who guard the tower and the people who go out to sea to fish.

That is, if the boat comes out of the seaside, if there is no special situation, the boat should not come up to have a meal, because the people guarding the tower have to make it, which is difficult and troublesome.

Unless they call themselves to use the fire when they come here, they will not care about it. The fire-burning items and the food in the lighthouse are brought to the lighthouse by people who go out to sea. It is stipulated that whoever uses it will make up for it.

People who go out to sea usually bring more, and use less than those who bring, so there are many surplus things in the lighthouse. They are specially used for people who hide in the lighthouse and cannot get out in special circumstances. They are considered to be taken from the people and used for the people."

While speaking, Queen Wang and others had already gone up. Li Longji also stepped onto the shore, nodded, and said, "I understand that it is the same as the food stored on the trees when hunting in the mountains. It is regarded as an important place for emergency and rest. Everyone follows the same rule and cannot ignore it after finishing the meal."

"That's it." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

He held the things he gave to the lighthouse, including local specialties brought to Xunyang, and even fresh vegetables and fruits. Under normal circumstances, people on the lighthouse could only eat fresh things, including pork, or something else a few days later.

All of them are brought by people who go out to sea, but not much, especially in summer, which is prone to deterioration. If you don’t come out at night, you will easily deteriorate during the day.

The common foods on the lighthouse are hot tui, bacon, etc., as well as dehydrated vegetables, dried fruits, and canned food.

Of course, this treatment is already very good for those who guard the tower. After all, people who went out to sea before knew how difficult it was to eat something outside. Even if there were dried or shaded vegetables, they could not eat them, and there was not so much fresh water to soak.

Wang Ju and Gao Lishi also helped to bring some of the things they brought, and the remaining ones were taken to the two people who had tied the boat to get it into the lighthouse.

The meat, besides pork, also venison, is all fresh, and is frozen and even has wine.

When he ran out, the person carrying an oil lamp finally found that something was wrong. There were too many people on the boat. If he really came to fish, he would not be able to load too many fish once and he would be equipped with people.

"Why are there so many people?" As he asked, the tower guard walked towards the pier, wanting to see who was so stupid, so he took a boat to sea.

A little closer, he finally found that something was wrong with the light of the moon.

"There are children? Which family of children come out to play and don't study well in school?"

"Ha, it's me, I'm here." Xiao Bei shouted when he heard the inquiry, and ran over to the people guarding the tower with two small tui. It was her first time to come to the lighthouse, and she found it very interesting.

"Slow down. Be slower, be careful of your feet, don't fall, it's all gravels, who are you?"

The man who was guarding the tower saw a child running towards him and shouted quickly.

Xiao Bei was indeed tripped under his feet and almost fell down. He stabilized his body, patted his chest, and said with lingering fear: "Why don't you spread the sand? It's all stones."

"Are you?" The man guarding the tower came to Xiao Bei, shook the light twice, and looked at Xiao Bei recalling whose child he was.

After looking at it for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief: "You are......, Xiao Bei?"

"Ha? How do you know?" Xiao Beimi was confused. The other party was so amazing that he actually saw that he could call out his identity.

"Are you really Bei Bei?" The man who guarded the tower pointed his other hand at Xiao Bei's shoulder bag and asked again uncertainly.

Xiao Bei looked down at his bag and found a large pattern of rice seedlings on it. He embroidered the word "Bei," in the middle of the rice seedlings. Only then did he know how the other party recognized him. It was so conspicuous. Moreover, no one in the Tang Dynasty dared to use the pattern of rice seedlings except for his own families.

"Okay, I'm stupid." Xiao Bei took a few shots of his bags and asked the person guarding the tower again: "Are you very happy? We are all here, there are the emperor, the queen, and the concubine Hui, and my grandfather. Haha, why don't you laugh?"

Xiao Bei thought that after the other party knew his identity, he would smile happily, but he was very disappointed.

The people guarding the tower were not that they didn't want to laugh, but that they were already stupid. He didn't dare to dream. The people from Zhang and Wang family ran to the lighthouse he guarded. How busy they were, how could they go to his place and meet him?

"Old Hu, why are you doing it while standing there? Why don't you pay homage to the emperor?" A boatman, holding a big bag in his hands, kept oozing out of the bag, came to the person guarding the tower and shouted loudly.

"Ah? Ah? Ah, OK, the emperor is here? Old, Lao Hu, I, pay homage to the emperor."

Lao Hu, who was guarding the tower, finally woke up, still with a shocked look on his face, his voice trembling, and he was about to kneel down.

Xiao Bei quickly pushed Lao Hu with his hand: "Don't kneel down, there are gravels underneath. I said why don't you lay some fine sand? Then there will be beaches, sunshine, and waves. It's great to swim and bask in the sun."

"Go in and say, I'll come and take a look." Li Longji coughed and ordered Lao Hu who was guarding the tower.

"Yes, yes, go in and say." Lao Hu agreed repeatedly, turned his head and shouted at the lighthouse: "All up, the emperor is here, Xiao Bei and the others are here, don't sleep in, get up, get up, all of them."

People inside heard it or not, people outside didn’t know whether they were panic after hearing it, and people outside didn’t know it either.

Li Longji had heard that there were two people guarding the tower, but from Lao Hu's voice just now, he found that there was not only one person left.

He glanced at Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi asked Lao Hu in a sympathetic manner: "How many people guarding the tower?"

"Four." Lao Hu replied. He didn't know Gao Lishi, but it didn't matter. Anyway, the person who could come was much higher than his status. Even the two people who accompanied him had seen it clearly now. He was the leader who used a large ship to supplement various lighthouses.

Although there are fishermen who are in charge, if there is something to do within a period of time, there will naturally be people who are responsible for delivering supplies.

"I once heard that two people guard the tower, but now they have become four?" Li Longji asked in person.
