Chapter 210

"Ah!"

Merton suddenly felt numb all over his scalp. How to explain? Can you say that you are greedy for pleasure and think it's too hot in summer to get some ice to cool down.

"Oh! I also want to know!" Li Shimin was also very interested. A Mohist boy came to the Taoist place in strange clothes to buy some alchemy materials. How strange it looked.

Li Shimin knows that he can't help but use his mind. He also knows that this guy is uneasy. He must do something. It's better for him to solve it in advance than to make the city full of wind and rain?

The three brothers, Li Chengqian, could not help but look sideways, but they all knew that Mozi could make strange things every time. The secret skills of live fish, hot-air balloons, ink magazines, the city's early warning system and four-wheel carriages were either a sensation in the whole city or worth thousands of dollars. It would certainly not be an ordinary thing to let Mozi go out in person this time.

"Er!" Merton saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.

"Tell your majesty, I heard that the weather is very hot and the hidden ice in the imperial palace is exhausted, which is not conducive to the recovery of the Queen's body. I want to make some ice to share your worries for your majesty."

"Make ice, you plan to use this wall cream to make ice!" Li Shimin sneered at the saltpeter on the table.

"Ha ha!" Li Tai laughed very cooperatively, and the others didn't believe it.

"Yes, Weichen made ice with this!" however, to everyone's surprise, Merton nodded solemnly.

"What?"

Everyone looked at Merton in surprise. Everyone thought it was absurd, but when they thought of Merton's magical performance, they couldn't help being absurd. If this matter is put on others, it must be laughed off by others, and it is not necessarily even considered crazy. However, from the mouth of Mohists, it is an incredible thing, and they may have to think twice.

"Using wall frost can make ice." Yuan Shoucheng looked at the familiar wall frost in his hand. He often used it when refining pills. It can be said that he was very familiar, but he couldn't think of its function of making ice.

"It's impossible. Summer insects can't talk about ice. This is the order of heaven and earth. In addition to the method of hiding ice, ice and snow can't appear in this summer." Li Tai exclaimed.

"Your Highness the king of Wei's words are not good. Even in the hot summer, there are some high mountains. Snowflakes do float all year round and will not change for thousands of years." Merton shook his head and said.

"I have heard that there are high mountains in Tubo area, and the snow will not melt for thousands of years." Yuan Shoucheng also stroked his beard and nodded.

Li Shimin also nodded. He had heard such strange news,

"It's just a very special place," Li Tai retorted.

"What your Highness the king of Wei said is very true. Mohist sages have done experiments. If the temperature is divided into one Baidu from freezing to boiling, the temperature will be reduced by six degrees for every 1000 steps. That is to say, as long as it is a high mountain of 2000 feet, there may be snow all year round." Merton explained the reason.

Li Shimin suddenly realized that the Jiucheng palace he was going to spend the summer was built in the middle of the mountain. Every summer, the Jiucheng palace has a cool and pleasant climate. I'm afraid the high terrain is the most important reason!

"I didn't expect that the sages of Mohism had reached such a point. I admire yuan Shoucheng!" Yuan Shoucheng sighed. He also visited countless famous mountains. Of course, he knew that the temperature on the mountain was much lower than that at the foot of the mountain. He hadn't thought about it before. It was clear when he heard Merton say so this time.

Li Tai was also stunned. The sages of Mohism had nothing to do but study these things.

Merton seemed to see through what Li Tai thought and said, "this is a common phenomenon in heaven and earth, but it can be understood by analogy. The reason why water freezes is because the temperature is too low. If we can create a way to keep the water cool, it is not impossible to freeze in hot summer."

"Let the water cool down. Can we use these wall frost to cool the water?" Li Tai sneered and asked.

"Yes!" Merton said solemnly.

"How could it be?" Li Tai exclaimed.

Merton twisted a saltpeter with his hand, nodded and said, "the ancestors of the Mohist school once inadvertently dropped a large amount of wall frost into the water. As a result, the water temperature was freezing in less than a while. After half a sound, it condensed into ice."

"Seriously?" Li Shimin was surprised. If he could make ice with wall frost, where would he need to go to Jiucheng palace? Not to mention the inconvenient long journey, he left the center as an emperor, which involved too many problems.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to have a try." Merton said confidently.

"Well, if you can really make ice, I'll remember you. If you talk nonsense, you know the consequences." Li Shimin stared at Merton with a bad face.

"Don't worry, your majesty. Taoist yuan, the boy wants to borrow your land." Merton bowed to Yuan Shoucheng. He is a child of the Mohist school. Naturally, he should say hello to the master first in the territory of the Taoist school.

"I'm lucky to be able to see the secret skills of Mohism with my own eyes. I'll naturally cooperate with you if I need anything." Yuan Shoucheng said.

"Borrow the two pots in Guiguan, one is larger and the other is smaller. Both the pottery basin and the copper basin are filled with half of the well water just hit." Merton nodded.

"A small thing."

In the side hall of the other courtyard.

Two pots of water were quietly placed in front of a square table. Li Shimin and a group of people were quietly looking at Merton.

"Please try the water temperature," Merton said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin tried the water temperature according to his words and nodded. It was really the well water just hit. It was very cool.

Merton put the copper basin into the pottery basin and sprinkled a large amount of ground saltpeter evenly into the pottery basin. Every ten seconds, Merton sprinkled it again. In order to pursue the effect, Merton used saltpeter at no cost.

However, a quarter of an hour later, the water in the basin did not respond at all.

"Lord Mo can't remember wrong! How can I make ice this summer!" Li Tai looked at the water in the two pots and said sarcastically.

Merton ignored Li Tai's ridicule, but reached out and touched the water temperature of the pottery basin. A trace of confidence appeared on his face and said, "Your Majesty, please try the water temperature again to see whether it is true or not."

Li Shimin was also curious about this kind of thing. He couldn't bear it, so he reached out and touched the pottery basin.

"Father and emperor can't, this wall frost into the water, no one knows whether it is harmful, if not by the child." Li Tai saw that Li Shimin put his hand into the basin without doubt, and quickly expressed his loyalty.

At this time, Li Chengqian suddenly bowed down and said, "my child is willing to test the water for my father."

"Young slaves are willing!" Li Zhi was unwilling to fall behind.

Merton felt a sigh in his heart. The three princes who were most entangled with the throne in his previous life can be seen from today's matter. However, Li Shimin was immersed in the dream of fatherhood and filial piety.

"Don't worry, your majesty. The wall cream is a laxative. There's no problem touching it with your hands. Moreover, there's no wall cream in the copper basin. It's still pure water," Merton said.

Li Tai thought of Merton's action just now, and couldn't help making a big red face. Li Shimin didn't think so. He laughed and said, "my son's filial piety as a father has been received, but don't you feel any difference in this side hall?"

"Ah!" Li Tai reacted. Unconsciously, the whole room had become very clear and hot.

"Really?" Li Chengqian said in surprise, feeling the cool breath in the air, as if he had returned to the cool autumn and summer.

At this time, people realized that they looked at Merton in horror. Li Tai couldn't believe it. He reached out and touched the copper basin. Suddenly, a biting cold came. Diseases in the palace were not rare. Of course, Li Tai knew that the temperature was almost close to the temperature of ice.

Making ice in summer, I'm afraid this thing the world can't think of, I'm afraid it will really be born in Merton's hands.

There was a silence. Only the temperature in the pottery basin was decreasing, and even faint white smoke curled up. Unconsciously, a thin layer of ice had appeared on the surface of the water in the copper basin.

Despite the biting cold, Li Shimin held a thin piece of ice on his fingertips, felt the biting coolness, and a surge of ecstasy poured into his heart.

I'm afraid this proverb will be rewritten from now on.
