You should accept it. Ling Yi understands the principles of internal combustion engines, but that's all he understands.
Even though he has Personal As-You-Wish Space where any part can be made with a thought, the difficulty of actually DIYing it is beyond Ling Yi's imagination.
Ling Yi is not a scientist, nor does he have the brains of one.
It took Ling Yi more than half a year to finally succeed with just one internal combustion engine.
Ling Yi himself felt somewhat useless.
The power of an internal combustion engine is far superior to that of a steam engine.
Having gained experience from building steam locomotives, Ling Yi built the first true automobile.
As for gasoline, Ling Yi genuinely didn't know any refining methods, so he could only use the simplest sedimentation and filtration method to separate gasoline and diesel.
In any case, Ling Yi couldn't tell the difference between the gasoline he concocted and real gasoline.
The only drawback was that the wheels were made of iron.
Everything else was fine, but Ling Yi really had no idea how to deal with rubber.
He knew about rubber trees and how to tap and boil rubber, but Ling Yi didn't know where rubber trees were or how rubber was made, so he simply gave up.
Is there no way to get it without rubber? Pshaw!
Ling Yi directly transformed the car wheels into a hollow, mesh-like structure within his Personal As-You-Wish Space, allowing them to retain the same elasticity as rubber tires under appropriate compression.
By increasing the thickness of the tire and the contact area, the weight and performance become almost identical to those of a real car tire.
As for the gears, there are still only two: forward and reverse. There's no way Ling Yi could figure out anything too complicated.
The car that Ling Yi ultimately designed, because it couldn't use cesium, remained silver-white, which ironically gave it a very futuristic look.
As for the speed, it should exceed 100, which is quite impressive.
While Ling Yi was neglecting his duties, Li Jing and the ten young generals were not idle.
Today, apart from the Song Dynasty, almost every other place in the Great Song Era is marked by the flag of the Great Tang.
The Great Tang Heaven-Answering Army became a nightmare for this world.
Some were stubborn; after being rubbed repeatedly, they simply disappeared.
Six months later, on the city wall of the Mobei border, Song Dynasty soldiers on patrol suddenly noticed a cloud of dust rising in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a strange, silver-white vehicle came into view.
From a distance, it looks like a silver disc that can run on the ground.
Behind the "silver cake" stretched an endless line of cavalry, all clad in gleaming silver armor, their movements perfectly synchronized, exuding an aura of menace.
"Oh no! This... this is the Great Tang Heaven-Answering Army! Quickly report to Grand Commandant Gao!" One of the officers exclaimed, his eyes wide, as he hurriedly shouted to one of his subordinates.
That's right, Gao Qiu was in this border city.
In the past six months, Gao Qiu himself has lost count of how many places he has occupied with his troops. The border city in front of him is the very city that Gao Qiu occupied three months ago.
Originally belonging to the Khitan, it now nominally belongs to the Great Song.
It wasn't that Gao Qiu didn't want to continue taking advantage of others, but rather that he didn't have many soldiers left.
Unlike Li Jing, Li Jing only focused on attacking and left no soldier alive in the city.
However, Gao Qiu had to leave some soldiers to govern each place he occupied.
After these punishments, he now has less than three thousand soldiers left.
Gao Qiu was greatly alarmed upon hearing that the Great Tang Heaven-Answering Army had appeared.
He knew very well that he was taking advantage of others, even though he was now incredibly famous and praised to the skies.
But he himself knew his own limitations.
"This day has finally come." Standing atop the city wall, Gao Qiu gazed at the endless army of silver-armored cavalry, his heart filled with immense awe.
This time, not only was Li Jing present, but the other ten young generals and their troops were also transported over by Ling Yi using the newly developed steamship.
The goal was to force the Song Dynasty to surrender in one fell swoop.
Although Ling Yi Ling Yi looked down on the Great Song of this era, he did not want the Han people of the two time periods to kill each other.
Gao Qiu's eyes gleamed as he plotted how to negotiate with the other party later.
How can I articulate my position in a way that puts me on the side of righteousness?
Numerous mental rehearsals have begun, a brainstorming session has started, and I'm preparing to use my silver tongue to subdue their army.
However, Gao Qiu was completely dumbfounded by what the Great Tang Heaven-Answering Army did next.
They didn't even stop; they just rushed straight at us.
Gao Qiu opened his mouth, wanting to order the soldiers to fire arrows, but then he said that the soldiers were all wearing Divine Weapon armor and were not afraid of arrows at all.
He just stood there, mouth agape, watching as the other side dismantled the city gate and swaggered into the city.
But the Big Head is still that shiny silver coin, the "silver ingot" that can move.
Half an hour later, Ling Yi sat in the main seat of the city lord's hall, looking down at Gao Qiu and said, " Gao Qiu, right? You're really something. Even when it comes to picking up bargains, no one is as good as you at it."
Gao Qiu didn't know what to say, so he could only force a laugh.
Having witnessed the power of the Heaven-Answering Army, Gao Qiu's petty schemes vanished.
Reasoning? Don't be ridiculous, that's only true when both sides are evenly matched.
Does the strong need to reason with the weak? Nonsense.
"Go back and tell Zhao Ji to find a place to practice calligraphy. As for you, go back and focus on playing football. Maybe you'll have a chance to coach the team someday."
Gao Qiu is only in his fifties. If I could travel to the modern world and bring Gao Qiu there to be Troubled Football Team Zu's coach, wouldn't that be great?
Gao Qiu lowered his head even further, Fist Dao, "I will obey your orders, General."
"Let's go then!"
Watching Gao Qiu's departing the Back, Li Jing sneered, "A coward who clings to life."
Ling Yi said helplessly, "If this country had even the slightest semblance of its former glory, I wouldn't have given it to Old Li."
Next, the Great Tang Heaven-Answering Army marched south with unstoppable momentum, encountering no resistance whatsoever, and reached Bianliang.
Emperor Huizong of Song fled, heading south all the way to Hangzhou.
But before Emperor Huizong of Song could enjoy his newfound freedom for even a few days, the Heaven-Answering Army marched south again, forcing Emperor Huizong of Song to flee once more.
As a result, during his escape attempt, he was captured by the Fang La's Army, which had launched an uprising.
When the Heaven-Answering Army arrived, they rescued Zhao Ji, who had been tortured beyond recognition.
This was also the first Combat for the Heaven-Answering Army after returning to the Central Plains.
The outcome is self-evident.
Looking at Zhao Ji, who was disheveled, covered in wounds, and in a pitiful state, Ling Yi didn't know what to say.
Even the most incompetent emperor in history couldn't have been this weak.
Ling Yi didn't kill him, but instead arranged for him to be taken to the Great Island by a steamship.
This is a place I've found for him to retire.
Six months later, in the imperial city of Bianliang, Li Shimin looked at the two Daoist School before him, his eyes gleaming.
This is the second door Ling Yi has opened.
Li Shimin naturally understood what this second door represented.
With a series of rumbling sounds, Ling Yi walked out from the second door, glanced at him, and said, " Old Li, you should be content and not be too greedy."
Li Shimin snapped out of his reverie, making no attempt to conceal his ambition, and said, "Haha, which emperor throughout history hasn't been greedy?"
"Well, you'll have to take care of those two worlds first."
"This door is right here. You can travel freely between the Great Tang and Great Song dynasties. As for this new world, don't even think about it for now."
Ling Yi pointed to the first red lacquered solid wood door and said.
This new Space-Time Anchor holds special significance for Ling Yi.
Ling Yi never expected that the Space-Time Anchor would randomly point to this spacetime, this world.
Li Shimin nodded. He also knew the principle of not trying to do too much at once. This was a different time and space, and even with the Great Tang Heaven-Answering Army, it wouldn't be easy to manage.
Fortunately, Ling Yi left a good foundation, and Li Shimin was fully confident that he could manage both worlds well.
At this moment, Li Shimin was filled with boundless pride and ambition.
Although he never said it aloud, he secretly wondered, who could compare to his current impressive achievements?
But Li Shimin also knew that everything he had was because of Ling Yi.
He was also well aware that the reason Ling Yi valued him was because he was a good emperor in Ling Yi's eyes.
If he were like Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, Ling Yi would probably never help him in the slightest.
Li Shimin still harbored some apprehension towards Ling Yi, but he was well aware that the future development of the Great Tang depended on Ling Yi's help.
However, Li Shimin is now more curious about the world that Ling Yi went to before.
Even a fleeting glimpse is enough to leave one in awe.
The continuous, thunderous roar, the bursts of fire shooting into the sky, and the streaks of flame piercing the Daodao sky.
Everything was telling Li Shimin that the world on the other side was extremely dangerous.
This also tells Li Shimin that the weapons on the other side are unlike any weapons he has ever seen.
It possesses unparalleled and terrifying destructive power.
Li Shimin held it in awe, but was also very envious.
However, he could also see that this world was very different for Ling Yi.
When Ling Yi walked out of the gate, he had never seen such a complex expression on Ling Yi's face before.
It was a complex expression, a mixture of excitement, anger, and anticipation.
"I might not be back for a while, so don't let me drink all the stuff in my cellar, or I'll tear your palace down, you believe me?"
"Haha, I already know your winemaking method. When you return, I'll show you the wine I've brewed."
"Tch, is that wine you brewed? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it; you're just all talk."
"Didn't you also order your men to do it? How dare you criticize me?"
Huh? Is that so? It seems like that's really the case.
Then, eldest brother, please don't talk about Second Brother.
Ling Yi waved his hand to close the second door, then put it away.
The second door looks completely different from the first door.
The first door was a solid wood door painted red, while the second door was a rusty iron door.
Compared to the first door, the second door is larger, exceeding four meters in height and five meters in width, with a 1.5-meter-wide sliding door in the middle.
Push it further to both sides, and you'll see folding doors that extend outwards to the sides.
This gate is so wide that even a tank could easily drive in, let alone a person.
Ling Yi did not go directly there, but instead locked himself in a villa in the Great Tang Dynasty for more than two months.
No one knew what Ling Yi was up to. Two months later, when Li Shimin came looking for Ling Yi, Ling Yi was gone.
