Hearing Zhao Xuanji's angry rebuke, the voice in the darkness was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because no one can get close, our people only heard a little bit of noise, but since the report below has come up, it should be true.
That’s what happened.”
"Thinking about it, it shouldn't be too much."
Zhao Xuanji's hair and beard were all tangled, he slapped the table hard, and roared: "This bastard dares to be rude to Qinglan, I will kill him!"
After venting his anger, Zhao Xuanji suddenly realized that he was just incompetent and furious.
Even because all the people in the Inner Palace and Fengxi Palace were replaced, it was very difficult for him to contact Zhao Qinglan.
It will take at least a certain amount of time to open up the joints.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanji stood up and said: "Go and make arrangements, I want to enter the palace."
He eagerly wanted to see if his daughter was really bullied by Li Chen.
No matter how fierce and ruthless Zhao Xuanji is, as a father, his instinctive concern for his children is still there.
"yes."
The voice in the darkness did not express any opinion, it just agreed and then quietly retreated.
At this time, Li Chen was meeting with Guan Zhiwei from the Ministry of Industry at the Xi Zheng Palace, and asked Guan Zhiwei to bring a group of skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry.
"May I ask what your Highness is talking about, is it a musket?"
After listening to Li Chen's account, a craftsman brought by Guan Zhiwei made Li Chen's eyes light up with his words.
"Already have muskets?"
After seeing that the high-end military force in this world can threaten his life safety at any time, Li Chen, who is full of technology trees, now just wants to use two trolls to defend himself.
If there were already muskets in this era, it would have greatly saved his time and energy.
The craftsman said respectfully: "This thing was invented decades ago, and it was very popular at first. Using gunpowder as a fuse to fire projectiles can achieve the power of a bow and arrow."
As he spoke, he took out a stick from the toolbox he had specially brought after learning that His Highness had summoned him.
Li Chen looked at it and was greatly surprised.
Although the thing in front of you is still very rough, the basic barrel, stock and trigger already have the shape that later generations of firearms should have.
It's just that the pure iron barrel and wooden body make it look unreliable. In addition, due to the lack of maintenance over the years, the barrel is already rusty.
"Only after some experiments, we found that although the power of this object is acceptable within a short distance, its power and accuracy will drop significantly beyond 20 steps, and it is very troublesome to reload ammunition every time.
If you charge outside, you only have one chance to launch at most, and beyond a distance of twenty steps, its power cannot be guaranteed."
The craftsman looked a little regretful and said: "As a result, it is not as efficient or practical as a trained archer. Moreover, the gunpowder used for firing is difficult to save and transport, and the manufactured projectiles are difficult to process.
It’s very high, so gradually no one cares about it.”
"That's because you don't know how to use it."
Li Chen stepped forward, not dissing the shabby fire stick in front of him at all. Guan Zhiwei took it and played with it carefully, raised his head and asked the craftsman: "Can it be fired now?"
The craftsman hesitated: "Not necessarily. The last time I used it was more than ten years ago."
"Try it."
Li Chen waved his hand and ordered the craftsmen to start loading gunpowder and bullets.
