Chapter five hundred and eighty nine weapon essentials
The little cutie recovered from her daze and curiously picked up the book that her father had placed on the table.
“Essence of Weapons.”
The little cutie opened her red lips slightly and softly read out the four large characters written in regular script with sharp strokes on the book.
Looking at the book that contained nothing but four big characters, not even the name of the author, the little cutie looked up at her father, whose face was a little sad, as if his flesh had been cut off.
“Dad, what is this?”
“You will know after you open it and take a look. Choose a weapon that you like more, and dad will have someone make it for you.”
The Queen saw the four big characters on the book from a distance. At first she was a little confused as to what they meant. Until her daughter asked the question and Mr. Liu answered, an idea flashed in the Queen's mind and she immediately realized what it meant.
With a strong look of surprise, he walked quickly towards the little cutie.
“Yue’er, my mother will choose with you and help you with your advice.”
The little cutie looked at the Queen with confusion, and nodded blankly: "Okay, mother, please help Yue'er with her advice."
Liu Mingzhi seemed to understand something when he saw the Queen. In name, he wanted to help the little cutie choose the gift he wanted to give her, but in fact, he was interested in the details of the weapons in the book.
However, Liu Mingzhi did not speak to stop the queen. Instead, he walked to the stove, pulled out the plug on the side and started to boil tea.
This weapon essence describes the types of weapons, and the requirements for steel, iron, and weapon embryos are extremely strict.
Even if you want to build Dalong's General Supervisor, it will take a lot of effort, and it can only be produced in small batches. Large-scale equipment is out of the question.
Then let alone the soldiers and supervisors of the Jin Kingdom.
Even if the Queen has outstanding talents and can remember the specifications of all the weapons in this book with a photographic memory, it is still of no use.
Jin Guobing's smelting level simply did not meet the standards for manufacturing weapons.
Even if some skilled craftsmen gathered together to create one of these weapons, it would not be of much use on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, thousands of troops cannot be controlled by a powerful weapon.
If they are forcibly built, it will only be superficial, and the true strength of these weapons will not be brought out at all.
When the weapon goes wrong, not only will the combat effectiveness not be improved, but the weapon will have problems, and the enemy will be in a hurry. At least it will delay the opportunity to fight. At worst, the body will be dead, and the soul will be wiped out. The battlefield will be spilled with blood.
Liu Mingzhi was making tea as if nothing had happened, while the Queen and her daughter were sitting on chairs. They solemnly opened the cover of the book.
The Queen forcibly suppressed her excitement? Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is rare.
I have no defense with the daughter of the daughter with the daughter of Jin Guo Culture and Martial Arts.
For a while, the Queen didn't know how to evaluate Liu Mingzhi.
You say he is a good man? A good father, but he led troops to conquer the Kingdom of Jin several times? You say he is a heartless person? But in this patriarchal era, he loves his daughter more than all his children.
Not much different.
At least if other children dare to secretly use things like lei zhenzi to fry fish, they will inevitably have a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.
If nothing else, the queen saw her daughter’s behavior as the little overlord in the Liu Mansion with her own eyes.
Therefore, the Queen didn’t know how to evaluate Liu Mingzhi, a man whom she couldn’t understand and couldn’t figure out.
She thought she already understood him very well, but slowly the queen discovered that she had never really understood this man.
When he is a rogue, he makes people gnash their teeth and make his heart ache. When he is serious, he makes people look at him with side eyes and does not know what is real. When he is calm, he is decisive and ruthless.
The Queen has never understood how one person could have so many personalities.
When you are in love, there are some postures that make you blush and feel hot, but you can’t help but fall into them. When you are unkind, you want to tear them into pieces.
The Queen recovered from her inner thoughts and concentrated on the book.
“Mother? What is this? It looks like an artillery piece? But it doesn’t look like an artillery piece.”
The Queen took a closer look. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she also showed a confused look.
She was certain that the weapon on the pattern was a type of artillery, but the style of this artillery puzzled the Queen.
In the Queen's opinion, the type of artillery should be a bare barrel with no other complicated things.
And the larger the barrel, the greater the power.
The Queen’s idea is also good. So far, both the dragon and the artillery made by the Jin Kingdom are indeed what the Queen thought.
However, the artillery shown on the page not only has a much smaller and slender barrel, but also has two wheels like a carriage mounted under the barrel.
What kind of artillery is this?
Although the Queen is not famous, it cannot stop her understanding of Young Master Liu.
She knew that no one without conscience would keep an inexplicable weapon so carefully.
Blocking the little cutie from turning the page, the Queen silently observed the appearance of the cannon on the page, about to engrave it in her mind.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the Queen's movements, shook his head helplessly and continued to fiddle with the briquettes in the stove.
Even if Han Zhong and the skilled craftsmen from Donghai led by Han Zhong had to rack their brains to forge a weapon as powerful as an infantry cannon, what's the use of just engraving it in your mind?
This thing was kept by Mr. Liu to prepare for his future campaign in the West.
There is no idea of producing it in large quantities at a high cost yet.
After all, if you want to mass-produce infantry cannons, you need the help of one person. It is not impossible to just rely on yourself and the people in Donghai to forcibly cast them, but the cost is too high.
And the quality may not be guaranteed.
And this person is none other than Wanyan Feixiong.
This guy can make the first-generation train, so it's not too difficult to forge an infantry cannon.
This is a thick book on weapons. The pictures on the first twenty pages are all artillery pieces that are incomprehensible to the Queen.
She wanted to write them all down, but the more she read, the more confused she became. Many types of artillery were involuntarily overlapped, making her brain confused like a ball of mud.
Behind the artillery are various types of firecrackers.
The Queen has never seen the power of firecrackers, but she also learned about this weapon that is much more powerful than bows and arrows from Wanyan Jizha's battle report.
But seeing that there was only a simple pattern, the Queen really couldn't figure out how these firecrackers could explode with such power.
With the image of the firecracker roughly in her mind, the queen controlled the speed at which her daughter read and continued to read.
The strange bed crossbows, bow crossbows, and hand crossbows attracted the Queen's attention.
The variety of swords, guns, swords and halberds dazzled the Queen.
Each page of pictures describes the power of these weapons. The descriptions of the power of the weapons in the text made the Queen's heart skip a beat.
It was even more chaotic than the night when I and Liu Dashao spent time together in the wilds of Luoyue Valley in the Kingdom of Jin with Liu Mingzhi in their bridal chamber.
However, there is no mention of how to make it or what the requirements for the manufacturing process are.
The Queen gritted her silver teeth as she looked at the page after page of weapon designs that made her envious.
He glanced back at Mr. Liu, who was sitting there making tea and pouring himself a drink. There was a deep resentment in his bright eyes.
It was this heartless person who made him unable to get up and down. It was even more uncomfortable than the sudden stop during sex.
My heart felt itchy as if it were a cat's paw.
Liu Mingzhi noticed the empress' resentful eyes, turned his eyes, and shrugged helplessly at the empress.
He knew that the Queen would react this way, but the Queen had really wronged him.
For some weapons, he also had to spend a lot of money to test them step by step before he could get the perfect finished product.
It really seems that the time traveler is an omnipotent god.
If you knew everything, how could you spend five million taels of silver on casting the first batch of cannons?
Nearly half of the weapons drawn in this Weapon Essentials have to go through countless trials before they are finally finished.
He was able to draw it only based on records in various documents.
Records do not mean that they are perfect data.
The Queen looked at Young Master Liu helplessly shrugging his shoulders, gave Young Master Liu a sharp look with bright eyes, and continued to read the patterns on the pages with slightly bulging cheeks.
But the Queen was thinking about how she would consume Young Master Liu's hard work at night.
“Dad, why do some designs have a red circle drawn with a red pen, while others don’t?”
“My dear daughter, what is outlined with the ink brush means that dad can help you build it with some effort. If it is not drawn in the ink brush, you can just ignore it. There is nothing you can do about it if you choose dad.”
“Oh! Yue’er understands.”
“Dad, Yue’er wants this weird hand crossbow, is it okay?”
“Come on, let daddy see which one?”
The queen wanted to stop it and asked the little cutie to pick out a powerful cannon that she saw.
But then I thought about Mr. Liu’s consistent style and gave up the idea?
Since he dares to let himself see it, he must not be afraid of ordering soldiers to make imitations.
Or maybe you can’t imitate it yourself.
After careful consideration, the Queen thought it would be better to let her daughter choose a weapon that could be used for self-defense.
Young Master Liu put down his tea cup and walked over to the mother and daughter.
I was ready to take the book and look at the self-defense weapons my daughter had chosen, but she couldn't take the essence of the weapons out of the Queen's hands several times.
Looking at the Queen's reluctant appearance, unwilling to let go, Mr. Liu turned slightly to block the little cutie's sight, and touched the Queen's indescribable position a few times with his fingers.
The queen squeaked, hurriedly covered her lips, glared at Young Master Liu with shame and anger, and returned the book in her hand to Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu took the book and looked at the weapon the little cutie picked out, and murmured softly.
“Interceptor Hand Crossbow.”
This thing was also very famous in later generations. It was said that it could break the bones of elephants at a distance of 150 meters.
With Han Zhong's level, it is natural that they cannot produce such great power, but there is still no problem in shooting a few people from a hundred meters away.
He did not doubt the craftsmanship of Han Zhong and the craftsmen, but he doubted whether the steel could meet the standards.
Fortunately, since it is only a handful of products carefully crafted and not used for mass production, the problem should not be too big.
Young Master Liu did not put the book directly back to its original place, but put it into his arms in front of the Queen and looked at the little cutie with a smile.
“Good daughter, let’s go to the backyard and make weapons for you.”
The Queen looked at the book that Mr. Liu had put in his pocket, and raised her lotus feet to give Mr. Liu a kick.
Liu Da snorted, took the little cutie and moved to a position that was more secret than the queen's indescribable position. He pulled his daughter and ran towards the door as if he was running for his life.
The Queen couldn't help but squeal, her cheeks were hot, and her bright eyes were so charming that they seemed to drip with water.
with Little Cutie, an outsider here, otherwise the two would definitely get into a fight on the spot.
The queen glanced at Young Master Liu tenderly and followed her without hesitation.
I may not be able to take advantage of my daughter this time and get a glimpse of the secrets of Liu Mansion's backyard.
