Chris nodded and said, "It's really time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony."
Only when the enthronement ceremony is held can he be considered a real king.
I don’t know if I can gain a wave of reputation at that time.
An Qi asked excitedly: "Is daddy going to be a king? Then am I going to be a princess?"
Chris held her and spun her around twice: "You will always be my little princess."
"Hehe." An Qi laughed happily.
At this time, Tina walked out of the castle and said: "Chris, are you back?"
"Yeah." After Chris put An Qi down, he handed her a barrel of gunpowder and asked her to find a place where no one was around to eat it.
Lisa didn't stay long and left with her daughter.
Chris asked: "How many artillery pieces do we have now?"
Tina replied: "I transferred some blacksmiths from various cities and asked them to step up production. So far, one thousand two hundred doors have been made."
"Good job." Chris gave a thumbs up. Tina always makes people feel reassured when she does things.
"It's a pity that this thing is too bulky and inconvenient to transport. You can't carry many space rings alone. It can only be used to defend the city. It's too reluctant to attack the city." Tina felt a little regretful, "And if the enemy retreats, they won't be able to go there.
Chase.”
The storage space of the ring is only one hundred cubic meters, which means it can carry about thirty cannons. If gunpowder is added, it will be even less.
On this trip to conquer the Marquis, Chris gave Jonathan all four spare space rings to wear, and only brought twenty cannons and thirty catapults.
Chris patted Tina on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I have prepared a secret weapon to develop and counterattack other countries' cities in the war."
"Oh, what is it?" Tina became interested.
Chris suggested: "I was also inspired by my ancestors. We can make some flying things so that ordinary people or knights can fly into the sky, move at will, and then drop clay bombs from the air.
what do you think?"
"You mean, we make a floating magic circle so that a large piece of land can rise to the sky, and knights stand on it and throw bombs down?" Tina immediately denied it after hearing this, "No, no, the floating magic circle needs
There are a lot of precious magic materials, and a lot of energy is consumed in the process of operation. It is not worthwhile to make this thing, and it cannot be mass-produced."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. The secret weapon I mentioned is not a floating magic circle, and it does not require magic materials. It can be made with some cowhide and rattan."
Chris's idea is very simple. Not only floating magic arrays can fly, but hot air balloons can also fly, and the cost is very low.
"You're just bragging." Tina said angrily, "How can we make people go to heaven without a magic circle?"
"You're really right. It's just bragging, but I'm not doing it. I'm blowing the hot air with a flame." Chris began to popularize physics knowledge to Tina. "Think about it when you take a shower. Why do you take a shower?"
Will the hot air in the bucket float up to the sky? Because hot air is lighter than cold air."
Tina lowered her head and thought for a moment, and realized that it was indeed what Chris said. She asked, "Then what?"
Chris continued: "If we wrap the hot air in a large enough cowhide, can it be carried up to the sky by it?"
"It should be possible." Tina thought about it carefully and felt that this was a possibility.
"So, we only need to continue to burn the fire and heat the air, then we can send ordinary people to the sky, and then drop clay bombs downward. It is very practical whether it is chasing the fleeing enemy or attacking the city wall.
Chris smiled and said, "More importantly, it is very cheap and uses extremely common materials, so it can be mass-produced."
Tina's eyes were bright: "Do you have any drawings? Let me study them carefully."
Chris took out the paper and pen from the space ring and began to write and draw.
Based on the hot air balloon he saw on TV in his previous life, he drew a sketch and began to explain: "First, use dozens of pieces of cowhide to sew an airbag, and secondly, use enough hemp rope to tie a huge balloon underneath.
The rattan basket is guaranteed to be able to carry people. Finally, a brazier is set up above the rattan basket to light a fire. After the flame heats the air, it can carry people and fly. I named it 'hot air balloon'
.”
"There is another question, how to control the rise and fall of the hot air balloon, as well as move forward, left, and right?" Tina asked.
Chris thought for a while and said: "This is simple. You only need to leave controllable air outlets on the top and four directions of the cowhide airbag, and you can control it at will."
Tina scratched her little head, seeming to understand.
"You go purchase the raw materials now. If you have any questions you don't understand, come to me at any time."
"OK."
······
After sending Tina away, Chris got up and went to Viscount Jordan's Mansion to find his father Yunado.
"Hey, you're back?" Yunado looked happy when he saw his young son, "Are all the marquises willing to surrender to you?"
Chris pulled out a chair and sat down opposite his father, saying, "Except for Occam, who was the thorn in the side, I killed everyone else."
Speaking of which, he also harbors a hint of revenge.
If Occam hadn't come looking for trouble in the first place, I might have spared his life this time.
Although one was killed, Lisa, the ice dragon, could hold up two, and Chris's fighting prowess was needless to say.
Therefore, in terms of high-end combat effectiveness, the Blazing Dragon Kingdom is not much worse than other countries.
"That is to say, there are still five seventh-level knights in the country for you to call, right?"
"right."
Yunado said with great satisfaction: "Not bad."
Before this, he had also thought from the perspective of the marquises. He still felt that he liked that kind of detached status, freedom, and would not be involved in the struggle for royal power or the war of pioneering orders, and he could be an independent person comfortably.
Marquis, it is difficult to accept Chris's request.
Therefore, Yunado was mentally prepared to fail, but he did not expect Chris to do so well.
Chris looked at his father and said solemnly: "I want to be king."
Yunado's body was shaken, and a different emotion flashed in his eyes: "Are you ready?"
"Well, now that the country is unified and all the cities have surrendered, it's time." Chris said lightly, "I would like to ask you to help me plan the coronation ceremony. Don't make it too grand. The simpler, the better. I don't like it.
Those formalisms.”
"Okay!" Yunado's eyes were blazing. As an old father, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
After briefly explaining the matters of the ceremony, Chris left.
