Because a lot of sheep were used in the ground cannon experiment, they can be eaten after being cleaned, so recently I drink sheep soup every day on the mountain, and even roast lamb legs, and the food is very good.
Yan Shiyue asked someone to cook the sauce, and in the evening he made a fire to roast the mutton in the courtyard.
Yan Shiyue didn't ask anyone to wait on her, so she, the fifth prince, and Huo Qijing were guarding a bonfire.
She cut strips on the lamb leg, and then the fifth prince cooperated in brushing the sauce on it. Both of them were a little clumsy, and the fragrant sauce dripped down, filling the courtyard with fragrance.
The two finally finished brushing one leg of lamb, and Huo Qijing had already finished brushing the other three quickly, turning leisurely and looking at them.
The fifth prince helplessly touched his red face, sat back and said, "Actually, I was thinking about something."
Yan Shiyue pointed her finger: "Huh?"
The fifth prince hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although ground cannons are indeed useful, their disadvantages are also obvious. For example, if a hundred ground cannons are laid out on a piece of land, 80% of them will be trampled by the enemy, and the remaining
20% of it, even we don’t know where it is.”
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but be startled.
The fifth prince said: "Although it can be marked, after repeated explosions, the marks will be useless. This is a hidden worry."
Huo Qijing frowned slightly and said, "That's true. This is a double-edged sword."
Even in modern times where mine detection methods are extremely developed and demining equipment is extremely advanced, this is still a headache.
The fifth prince said warmly: "God has the virtue of good life, but earthly cannons should not be used lightly."
Huo Qijing said: "Fortunately, this thing is used for defense."
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but ponder.
Suppose that their weapons are hundreds of years more advanced than the other's and are completely crushing. Is this... good or bad? So, does she not have to come up with more weapons? She has already done so.
After all, it will be like this from now on... just take your time and let nature take its course?
She asked the fifth prince: "Little fifth brother, have you told Aye about the ground cannon?"
"I've already said it," the fifth prince said: "The progress on Xishan Mountain will be reported to you secretly every day."
"Well," she said, "then write a letter and submit this idea. I think it makes sense."
The fifth prince hesitated.
Creating the underground cannon was a credit, and he could take half of it, but if he said this at this time, wouldn't it be pouring water on Emperor Ming Yan's enthusiasm? Then...
Yan Shiyue patted his back gently: "Don't worry, Aye won't blame you. If you are worried, I will write one with you."
The fifth prince glanced at her in the flickering firelight. Her eyes were clear and her expression was serious.
"Okay." The fifth prince nodded: "I can just write it myself."
While the three of them were chatting, the lamb leg on the fire was slowly getting cooked. Yan Shiyue tried to lift it, but she couldn't do it calmly and elegantly, so she immediately abandoned her Xiao Wu.
Brother, move to sit next to Huo Qijing.
Huo Qijing washed his hands, tore it apart and ate it, taking a bite for himself and another for her.
The chef prepared two kinds of sauces, one slightly spicy and one not spicy, but both were delicious.
Yan Shiyue ate happily, clicking his finger with unsatisfied taste while eating... She didn't notice at all that someone's eyes were getting worse and worse, and the portion of meat he was handed was getting smaller and smaller. She complained dissatisfiedly: "Why are you like this?"
Small, can't you give me a big one?"
The fifth prince, who had grown up in the palace and was already an experienced driver despite his young age, choked and coughed.
While he was busy drinking tea, he realized that the two people opposite him didn't notice him at all. Well, they probably couldn't see him dancing in front of them at the moment.
Huo Qijing was very calm and continued to feed her in small mouthfuls. After going back and forth, she was full.
Yan Shiyue drank another small bowl of porridge and sighed with satisfaction: "It's so delicious!"
He asked her: "Are you full?"
"Um."
He went over and washed his hands, stretched out his hand to pull her up and said, "Go out for a walk."
She thought that the young Marquis had developed the romantic skill of being in front of flowers and under the moon, so she happily followed her. As a result, he kept holding her hand, found a dark place, and pushed her directly against the tree.
Then he kissed me.
She couldn't resist his kiss.
The hot breath of his body enveloped her, and the night around her seemed to be fading away.
I don't know how long it took, but he finally backed away slightly and slowly calmed down.
In the darkness, he held her face in his hands and stared at her quietly.
Then he said to her inexplicably: "Let's have a daughter, okay?"
She cried because of him.
Just ask who came up with such a sentence after chewing it??
She kicked him twice angrily, turned around and left.
He was stunned, then stepped over and grabbed her arm: "Did I say something wrong? You don't want to have a daughter? How about a son?"
She wanted to have fun again, but it was only at this time that she realized that he was really straight and stupid.
She turned around and kicked him again.
He stood and kicked her, and then the two of them walked back to the small courtyard step by step. He whispered: "I'll go back and change clothes first, and then come back."
She understood instantly, and her face turned red. His hand slipped down, and he squeezed her hand quite lingeringly, and then turned around.
Of course, when Mr. Huo Xiaohou came back, he could not go in. Weixin only said: "Master Hou, our master is asleep."
Huo Qijing nodded and stood in front of the door for a while. It wasn't until she actually blew out the lamp that she turned around and left.
The fifth prince wrote a letter as she said, but after delivering it to the emperor, Emperor Ming Yan did not reply.
The fifth prince felt somewhat uneasy, but he had already written it, and it was useless to think too much.
Two days later, Yan Shiyue and the other three finally made a continuous fire gun. Once this technical difficulty was overcome, the rest was easy to talk about. After improvements, they came up with a satisfactory finished product, which could fire eighteen rounds in a row.
, Yan Shiyue named him "Qiang Guo Gun".
Then Yan Shiyue stopped the idea of leading the development, and only together with the fifth prince, led the craftsmen to make the cannon.
The improved version of the cannon is named the Divine Power Cannon and has already begun mass production. There is no need to produce too many of the previous Divine Power Cannons. After all, even if such a heavy thing is sold, it cannot be transported thousands of miles away. It is just selling technology.
At the same time, because the grand ceremony of enthroning the queen was approaching, she, the fifth prince, and Huo Qijing all rushed back to the capital. When they met, they also presented the prepared "powerful gun" to them.
The finished product is very delicate and beautiful, much lighter than the previous one. On it is engraved "Xishan, the capital of the 10th year of Ming Dynasty", and on the other side is engraved the words "A prosperous and powerful country".
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Even though he was a talented person, he was a little frightened. After a while, he said: "This thing cannot be known to outsiders, and there is no need to do more. It cannot be handled by others from beginning to end."
Yan Shiyue solemnly agreed, and Emperor Ming Yan looked at the fifth prince again. The fifth prince raised his heart and called out: "Father." (To be continued)
