"Train?" Benjamin said embarrassedly, "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, please forgive me for my ignorance. It's really hard for me to understand what you mean by train."
Li Changfeng thought for a while and said: "A train...well, to put it simply, it is a means of transportation that runs on the railway tracks. It can pull a lot of goods and people at a very fast speed."
Benjamin, Jack and Hebrew all looked confused.
Li Changfeng's limited English proficiency prevented him from giving a more detailed explanation, so he could only say helplessly: "Let's do this, let the Japanese prince take you to see it with your own eyes, so that you can understand it more intuitively."
"Dear Your Highness the Ninth Prince, we are not actually hungry." Hebrew hesitated, "Excuse me, can we go and take a look now? The train you mentioned seems to be very close to us."
After speaking, he glanced at Benjamin.
Benjamin understood and nodded quickly.
"Yes, Your Highness, we are really not hungry."
Jack also nodded quickly.
At that time, they saw the train roaring in on the way to Beijing. They were very curious at that time. Now that they learned that it was used to pull people and things, they were even more itchy and unbearable.
Li Changfeng understood their strong curiosity and nodded.
"sure."
Then he ordered the carriage to change direction and go straight to the train station, and at the same time sent a fast horse to pass the order and let the train wait for them.
Soon, the group of people arrived at the train station.
Li Changfeng's men had already secured the scene, and the luxurious carriage he specially built was ready.
When Benjamin, Jack and Hebrews saw the train with their own eyes, they were shocked and speechless.
The visual shock brought by watching at a close distance is much stronger than watching at a distance.
After a long time, the three of them came back to their senses and exclaimed again and again.
"Oh, the giant steel dragon is really a giant steel dragon!"
"Without a horse, can this thing really run?!"
"This is made of metal. The weight is unimaginable. It can run so fast?!"
"..."
When the surrounding passengers saw Li Changfeng present, they quickly knelt down to pay homage. After getting up, they pointed at the three of them in groups, with faces full of pride and ridicule.
"Tsk, tsk, look at the expressions of those three foreigners, you really have never seen anything like this in the world."
"It's only normal if you haven't seen it before. This is a magical object invented by our Ninth Prince. It is unique in the whole world!"
"We, Daqian, are the emperors of heaven. How can we compare with those barbarians?"
"What they learned today is enough for them to brag about for a long time."
"..."
Benjamin, Jack and Hebrew looked up and down for almost an incense stick. Li Changfeng couldn't bear it anymore and urged them before reluctantly getting in the car.
The train started, and as the speed steadily increased, their expressions gradually became more shocked, and they kept shouting "Oh, buy it!" Li Changfeng's ears were almost calloused.
However, Li Changfeng liked how they looked like they had never seen the world.
So an hour later, when they returned to the Beijing Railway Station in a daze, Li Changfeng took them to the artillery camp again.
Look at the appearance of the artillery, maybe they can imitate it.
But without the gunpowder formula, they couldn't make cannonballs, and the artillery was just a pile of scrap metal.
Hebrew was very surprised, pointed at the cannon and asked: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, what is this?"
Li Changfeng pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know later."
After speaking, he looked at the artillery battalion soldiers and said in a language that Benjamin and others could not understand: "Fire a cannon and let these foreigners see the world."
The soldiers in the artillery battalion knew what was going on as soon as they saw the expressions of Benjamin and the others. They suddenly became a little excited and quickly licked the bricks of ammunition and aimed at a boulder they used for target practice.
After everything was ready, Li Changfeng pointed to the boulder in the distance and reminded Benjamin and Hebrew: "Pay attention to the stone over there."
After speaking, Li Changfeng waved his hand to the soldiers to light a fire, but covered his ears.
Benjamin, Hebra and Jack looked at the rocks in the distance with blank faces, wondering what Li Changfeng meant.
Just when they were about to ask.
boom!
The sound of thunder sounded, and the three of them were startled. Hebrew was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, staring at Li Changfeng who covered his ears with some dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Jack exclaimed.
"Stone! That rock was blown to pieces!"
Whoosh!
Hebrew almost jumped up, stretched his neck to look at the stone, his eyes almost popped out, and exclaimed: "How is this possible!? Was it broken by lightning?!"
Benjamin also screamed: "There is a big hole on the ground! What is this? Isn't it terrible?!"
The soldiers in the artillery battalion were holding back their laughter, and many of them turned red. If Li Changfeng hadn't been there, they would have started laughing.
Li Changfeng could understand their shocked mood. He pointed at the dark artillery barrel and patiently explained: "This is an artillery piece. It can kill enemies dozens of miles away. It is very powerful."
Hebrew's eyes suddenly burst into astonishing light, and he exclaimed: "Can it really shoot that far? Is the power really that strong?!"
Li Changfeng said calmly: "Of course, do you want to give it a try?"
"I want it! I want it so much! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Hebrew almost jumped up with joy.
Li Changfeng signaled the soldiers to reload their ammunition, and then handed the torch to Hebrew. Li Changfeng asked him to light the fuse.
Sigh...
As the fuse burned shorter and shorter, Hebrews, Benjamin and Jack all became nervous and stared at the barrel of the gun.
boom!
There was another loud thunder, and the cannon spewed out a tongue of flame. The ground beneath my feet shook. In the distance, sand filled the sky and rocks pierced through the air. When the dust settled, a large crater appeared.
Benjamin shivered with excitement: "Good thing, really good thing! With it, I will not be afraid of any enemies on the sea, I can conquer any place I want to conquer, and collect countless wealth!"
Hebrews was stunned: "Oh my god, this is so terrible! If it were used for fighting, would there be any enemies in the world!?"
After saying that, he turned around suddenly, stared at Li Changfeng closely, and said almost in a pleading tone: "Your Highness, the Ninth Prince, our Germanic Empire wants to buy this kind of weapon, no matter how much you want, you can do it."
Benjamin also nodded fiercely.
"Yes, Your Highness, I am willing too! I need this cannon more than anyone else. With it, I will no longer have to be afraid of those damn pirates, which will help our business!"
Li Changfeng did not refuse or agree. He smiled slightly and said: "What's the artillery? I have something better. Let's wait until you finish reading it."
