Thanks to Tida's hard work, the implementation of the two Karejas keels was much ahead of schedule. I heard that Erica had only slept four hours a night in the past few months.
She looked distressed, but Tida herself didn't care.
"I sleep for half an hour at noon and afternoon. So I actually sleep for five hours every day. This is what my grandpa taught me."
"How dare that hateful old thing do this to my Tieda!" Erica gritted her teeth and muttered about an old man who was currently in the ancient ruins deep underground in Grancel, the capital of the King of Flowers.
Taking a nap is indeed a good way to restore energy. Ling did not notice any feeling of fatigue from Tida. But it was probably more because she was immersed in the joy of building a ship led by herself. When she has a goal and
It’s easy to lose track of time when what you want to pursue and what you’re doing are the same thing. When she first got the floating city, Ling was so excited that she couldn’t sleep. She almost wanted to soak in the oracle information in the central tower every day.
Curry. So Ling can empathize with Tida's current state.
After talking about the construction of the hull frame, Tida then talked about the main gun equipped with the Karejas II. When talking about the main gun, it was natural to talk about the main gun that Oribat brought and Libel.
Above is a drawing of the train gun Her Majesty made a deal with.
"As expected of the famous Dr. Schmidt. Compared with the fortress cannons deployed at the Harken Gate and Reston Fortress in our Liber Kingdom, they are not on the same level at all." Tida said.
"Although it feels a bit like being overly ambitious by others and extinguishing one's own prestige, that's the fact. As expected of Schmidt, who is as famous as my old guy. But! But! We won't give in easily!" Erica patted the table hard.
Said to vent his emotions.
Although her husband Dan did not show that emotion, his expression became very serious.
"No matter how powerful a martial artist is, there is no way he can survive that kind of power. According to data calculations, just one shot can blow up an area equivalent to the size of the Grancel Royal Arena. From the first train
Four years have passed since 1199, when the cannon was invented, to 1203. Now the imperial railway has been laid to the Test Gate opposite the Haken Gate, and the conditions for the movement of the train cannon are also met. In other words, on the Test Gate
Sooner or later, we will be equipped with the same kind of monsters as the Galeria Fortress. The situation is really not optimistic."
Ling remained silent after listening to what the family of three said. Dan didn't know that Schmidt had started to form a team with Ling to study rail guns and gauss cannons. Compared to train guns, they were even more terrifying.
Ballistic kinetic energy weapons.
"But it's still very powerful. I wonder if the caliber can continue to be expanded..."
The drawings of the early train guns had also been thoroughly understood by Tida. That was before Dan and Erica returned to China. In fact, she was even designing new guns for the Reston Fortress, just because of the development of the guns.
Inadequate design experience led to slow progress. Putting aside humanitarian considerations, from a purely technical point of view, Tida was very fond of this kind of "justice" that was full of mechanical engineering beauty, and even asked Ling about the designer.
Regarding the matter, I was wondering if there was any way to go to the empire to seek advice from him.
"If you have connections, I can arrange it. I am now the first-class secretary in charge of organizing the Armed Forces Committee in the empire. It is not troublesome to arrange a special commission license for Tiida. But uncle and aunt, you will agree to let Tiida
Is Da going on a long journey to the empire? Da Da has never left the Kingdom of Liber since she was a child, right?"
Ling looked at Dan and Erica, waiting for their answer.
"It's not a bad thing if you study with Schmidt. We scholars who do research always have to take this step. A broader world has a broader sky. Both the old man and I are on the list.
He received a doctorate degree from the Manchuria Autonomous Prefecture, and that Schmidt is still the old man’s senior brother. Besides, he still has your care.” Dr. Erica came closer again, and Ling reflexively avoided her pounce.
.
"Tsk...how are you so skilled? Tida has never been able to avoid it."
Counting from Angelica... Of course Estelle, Yanelas, Aiolia, and Ling have encountered similar situations countless times.
It is probably human instinct to like cute children, but some people are particularly obvious in this aspect.
Ling doesn't have any dislike for these people, but she doesn't like to be touched on the head, which makes her feel like she is being looked at as a child. Of course, Levi is an exception. He is the only one in the world
Someone who has the right to touch her head.
"...Aunt Erica, what did you say?"
After Ling came back to her senses, she pretended to be slow to react to Erica who had made a mistake over there.
"No, it's nothing. In short, I don't object to Tida going abroad."
There was nothing wrong with Erica, and Dan nodded.
"Erica and I have the same opinion. Although parents can't always rest assured, children always need to go out and explore for a while before they can grow up. Although it may be a little early for children from ordinary families, we
Our Tida is not an ordinary child. But not now. We still have many things to teach Tida, at least let her be able to stand on her own before she goes out to show off."
I don’t know if the three members of this family had a good conversation in advance, but they all spoke the same language.
"Of course, I won't delay things here. Even if I want to study abroad in the Empire, I have to wait until the construction of these two Karejas is completed. And... I won't hold you back!"
Tida clenched her little fists and said seriously.
Ling's eyes noticed that Tida's clenched right hand couldn't move away at all. There was actually a slight air current entangled around the knuckles of that delicate hand, which dissipated as she let go. With Ling's ability to sense breath just now
None of them were aware of it. As for Tida, she probably didn't even realize what she had just done.
"Did Titha also learn martial arts?"
Ling thought for a moment and decided that it would be normal if he learned it. Whether it was on Earth in his previous life or on the continent of Samria in this life, the children of martial artists would more or less inherit some of their parents' skills. It often happened on Earth that even if the children didn't want to learn from their parents, they would be forced to do so.
It’s something to learn from your children. Even if you can’t inherit the dojo, you must at least have the ability to protect yourself. Dan is an expert, so it’s not surprising that he will teach Tida carefully.
"Well, I just started learning from my father this month. Because I really want to catch up with Ling, not only in academics, but also in martial arts."
Ling moved her eyes to Dan and stared at him with incredible eyes, "This is not something that someone who has practiced martial arts for less than a month can do."
Dan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really can't hide it from you."
"I should have noticed before. Not only can I effortlessly use guided cannons that are difficult for adults to control, but I even carried construction drawings that were heavier than my body without any adverse reactions..."
Da’s strength is too great for a girl.”
(Note: In the original sc, after the guidance force stopped, Tida could hand-hold the Gatling Vulcan Cannon, which was larger than her body, as the main weapon instead of placing it on the ground to shoot. The weight of the big iron block...and
That's a gunpowder weapon. Judging from Gatling's rate of fire, the recoil of that thing...it's terrifying to think about it...)
"Huh? Ling-chan and dad, what are you talking about?" Tiida was confused.
"Tida, you should already have a foundation in martial arts, right?" This is what Ling realized.
"No, I just started learning stick skills from my father this month."
Tida shook her head repeatedly.
"It's different. Martial arts is not just for fighting. The training, fighting, and performance are actually completely separate. Your father's Wolong Awakening Stick Strike is a fighting style, but in fact the fighting style is very important to us.
For martial artists, it only accounts for a small part. What really makes the physical fitness of martial artists different from ordinary people is the training method."
"But I haven't practiced any kung fu before." Tida carefully recalled it, but she still didn't expect it to be related to martial arts.
"That's impossible. I can't be wrong. You almost just...Uncle Dan, can you stop being so pretentious?"
After hearing Ling's words, not only Tida, but also Erica, who had been silent just now, looked at her husband curiously.
"Okay, okay, it's morning exercises. Tianda, do you remember? You were in poor health when you were a child, and once you had a high fever that didn't go away. I taught you a set of morning exercises and asked you to practice them all the time."
"Well... Dad, I can't remember what you said about me being sick when I was a child. I still do morning exercises every day. After I finish doing them, my whole body feels warm and comfortable... So it's not just for casual physical exercise, right?
?”
"Well, that happened ten years ago when Mr. Cassius and I studied stick skills together. You were too young, so you didn't remember it. In order to avoid practicing the skills too early to harm your body, Mr. Cassius
But it took a lot of effort. Later, Mr. Cassius often came to Chase, not only to accept zcf's commission, but also to check on your recovery."
"Hey, Dan, you actually hid such an important thing from me until now!"
Erica walked up to Dan angrily.
"You were defending your doctoral degree at Leman at the time. When you came back, everything was fine. So...I'm sorry, wife, for making you worry."
"Ah!? So, what Ling-chan said is true?"
Tida still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"So Uncle Dan, what exactly is Tida practicing? Why does it give me a very familiar feeling? But obviously, it's not the Qilin Kung Fu you and Mr. Cassius have mastered, right?"
"It's Xuanwu Kung Fu. It feels familiar, probably because it belongs to the same Four Spiritual Kung Fu inherited from the East Samlian continent."
"Four Spirits?" Ling immediately thought of the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu on Earth in her previous life... But she had never heard of this saying in the continent of Samlia for so many years.
"Dragon, phoenix, lin, and turtle are the names of the four auspicious beasts spread in the Eastern Continent. Although they are not the sacred beasts of the goddess, they often appear in various legends and stories. The Four Spirit Skills are based on
The four oriental skills named Dragon God Kung Fu, Phoenix Wing Kung Fu, Qilin Kung Fu, and Xuan Wu Kung are named after their characteristics.”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm confused. Isn't the Dragon Divine Art a true inheritance from a master?"
"You can say that. The rest is just hearsay. It may not be true, so you can just listen to it as a story. The four exercises have the same origin, and there is no record of the name of the most original exercise. So we
Let’s call it the Four Spiritual Kung Fu. Hundreds of years ago, four factions improved the Kung Fu based on it. The Dragon God Kung Fu specializes in defense, the Phoenix Wing Kung Fu specializes in incarnation, and the Qilin Kung Fu specializes in explosion.
The one that specializes in durability is Xuanwu Kung. There is no distinction between the four techniques, they are just different in direction. However, in fact, after the Eastern Dragon Vein dried up a hundred years ago, and with the beginning of the great migration, Qilin Kung and Xuanwu Kung have long been
It is no longer a secret treasure of the sect. It is in the hands of many big forces. There is a copy of the inheritance scroll at the headquarters of Leman's Guerrilla Association. The Dragon Divine Art was almost spread, but as the leaders of the big sect spread in the newly born Kalva
The German Republic was firmly established, and the leader of the then leader, Long Wen, either recovered or destroyed all the copies of the dragon magic inheritance scrolls that had been circulated. This was in the past before the Guerrilla Association was established."
"What about the Phoenix Wing Kung Fu?" Ling asked Dan about the last one among the four techniques that was not mentioned.
"have no idea."
Ling didn't expect Dan to say that.
"I don't know if it was lost in history, or if the descendants did not come to the West Samlian continent with the immigration wave, or for some other reason. It's a pity that I have never seen the user. These are all I know.
.”
After Dan's little story was told, Erica and Tida listened with interest even though they were outsiders.
Although there are two widely circulated Kung Fu, Qilin Kung Fu is the choice of most people. Explosive power means attack power. For the Western Semlian people who advocate offense, this is the mystery of the Kung Fu technique.
Martial arts are much more attractive. Dan, like Cassius, also uses Qilin Kung Fu as his core skill.
The morning exercises that Tida has been doing for ten years are not real Xuanwu Kung Fu, but a simplified version of Dan and Cassius' attempt to make her young body able to withstand the pressure. So ten years later, in addition to being a little stronger than ordinary people,
Other than that, there is no difference.
Tida asked Dan to learn the full version, and Dan also said that this was what he had planned to teach Tida. And until Dan was satisfied with her progress, the father did not intend to let his precious daughter
Adventure to the Erebonian Empire.
After the matter with Karejas was settled, Ling and Tida agreed that if she couldn't go to the empire, Tida could also come to Crossbell's Rozenbelk workshop to play. Tida also agreed to Ling's invitation.
