Chapter 241 Part of the plan
Faced with Zhao Duan's inquiry, the two "students" in the room did not respond for a while.
Gongshu Tianyuan held his chin in his hands as if in deep thought, staring at the arc on the paper, lost in thought with the novel calculation method.
Chen Huoshen held those simple drawings in his hands, his face flushed.
Zhao Duan threw too many things in one breath, smashing the two of them to pieces.
It obviously takes some time to digest.
"It seems that it is not needed for the time being." Zhao Duan smiled with satisfaction, clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the two people, and said:
"So, can you try to make this new type of firearm now?"
Chen Huoshen said excitedly: "Give me two... no, one night, I can refine the matchlock gun drawings into a prototype."
Gongshu Tianyuan was full of confidence: "As long as he can draw it, I can make it."
"Okay," Zhao Duan said, "In that case, how about making this musket first?"
Chen Gui couldn't wait to throw himself in immediately. Seeing that the firearm was about to be in his hands, he would advance again. How could he not be excited after dedicating most of his life to this?
He just said anxiously: "It's okay to be a low-ranking official, but the priest..."
Gongshu Tianyuan looked serious and said:
"I will go all out."
After a pause, he added:
“It’s not for the Shenji Camp, but for my practice.”
Craftsman Warlocks, if they want to progress, they need to make artifacts that are recognized.
If this firearm can really be promoted, it will be of great benefit to Gongshu Tianyuan's practice.
In other words, Zhao Duan came today not only to ask him to return the favor, but to make the favor he owed become deeper and deeper.
Whether it is this novel knowledge or the opportunity to improve one's cultivation and break through the realm, it is all a heavy weight.
"Your Majesty, I will never thank you for your kindness. This matter will be taken care of by me!"
Gongshu Tianyuan patted his chest and promised.
Zhao Duan smiled and waved his hand, saying that there was no need to be so serious, and then told the two of them: "It involves new firearms. This is a secret in the military. It is difficult to hide the production, but I hope that the blueprints and other secrets will not die in the second half of the year." In my belly, I don’t want the fourth person to know about it until the experiment is successful.”
Gongshu Tianyuan agreed immediately, full of confidence.
It means that no thief has been able to enter Tianshi Mansion to steal.
Chen Huoshen's mind was moved, and he remembered the "sudden fire gun" stolen by the spies of Prince Jing's palace. As the chief officer of the Firearms Bureau, he had been investigated many times.
If it leaks again...he will be held responsible.
With this in mind, he repeatedly promised that he would never let the country's important weapons be stolen.
Zhao Duan was not nervous. On the one hand, he actually hoped that someone would steal it.
In addition, even if the musket blueprint is stolen, it doesn't matter.
Because he only took out the "matchlock" this time, but he also held the more advanced "flintlock" and did not reveal it.
Just to prevent further accidents.
Anyway, the flintlock gun only changed the ignition method, and the rest of the manufacturing process was very different from that of the matchlock gun. I was ordered to study the matchlock gun first.
After you succeed, you can switch to flint hair without delay.
Immediately, the three people agreed that the two of them would cooperate to develop new firearms.
All that was said to the outside world was that Zhao Duan was squandering favors and hired a priest as a "consultant."
"I hope that you can make a batch of finished products as soon as possible. It is best to make a batch within this month or early next month, even if you use some warlock methods, and conduct a drill in the army to verify it."
Finally, Zhao Duan said.
The two immediately agreed and promised to complete it.
With blueprints and warlock-level craftsmanship, it is not difficult to make small batches.
The difficult thing is how to use mortal craftsmen to cast them in batches later.
Chen Huoshen has already begun to look forward to what kind of sensation the new firearms drill will cause in the future.
Not to mention the lords of the Privy Council, even the current empress would be shocked, right?
Thinking of this, when he looked at Zhao Qianshi again, he was more respectful than anything else.
Thought:
"Nowadays, countless mediocre people in the Beijing camp are slandering and questioning.
When they know what changes Zhao Qianshi has brought to Shenji Camp, they will understand that Zhao Qianshi's arrival is clearly a blessing to the entire Beijing camp and even countless soldiers. The previous resistance was so stupid. "
After Zhao Duan finished explaining and was about to leave, Gongshu Tianyuan suddenly stopped him:
"Your Majesty, please bring this to Junior Sister to try and see if it works."
Like a magic trick, he took out a palm-sized wooden box and said with a smile: "I just made it and I'm about to send it over."
Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, opened the box and took a look. He was a little surprised, put the box in his sleeve with a smile, nodded and said: "That's fine. You guys get busy first."
When I turned around and walked out of the room, I thought to myself, who said that the disciples of the Heavenly Master do not understand the ways of the world?
……
"Sir! You're out!"
As soon as Zhao Duanfu walked out, he first heard the voices of two "door gods".
After nodding, he was surprised to see Priest Jin Jian sitting on a large water tank in the yard, his legs dangling slightly, waiting boredly.
Qian Kerou explained:
"The priest just came over. He learned that you had some business inside, so he didn't go in."
So polite? The last time you came into my house to spy on me taking a shower, you were not like this... You were obviously worried about being discovered by Gongshu Tianyuan, right... Zhao Duan complained crazily.
He said to the two of them: "You guys wait for me here, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Then he gave Jin Jian a "you know" look, and the two of them walked out of the hospital.
…
In the Tianshi Mansion, on the tree-lined road.
It was rare for Zhao Duan to walk side by side with Jin Jian.
"Why is the priest here? Could it be that he knew I was coming? Did he come here specifically to see me?"
Zhao Duan smiled so harmlessly:
"Is there any follow-up dividend?"
"..." Jin Jian's body suddenly stiffened as she was walking with her head down, she pulled away from the spot, covered her waist purse vigilantly, and shook her head crazily:
"No! No!"
Then, he explained:
"I came to see my senior brother to see if that thing is ready."
"This?" Zhao Duan looked disappointed, then he took out the box from his sleeve and threw it out:
"Your senior brother asked me to bring it to you."
Gongshu Tianyuan was afraid that he would have discovered that Jin Jian was outside the door, so he gave him the things as a favor.
Jin Jian subconsciously reached out and grabbed the box, looking at him warily but not moving.
Zhao Duan smiled and said: "Open it and take a look? Does it fit?"
Jin Jian hesitated for a moment before opening the small box and taking out a pair of gold-rimmed full-frame glasses.
Gongshu Tianyuan's craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary, and the things he makes are almost the same as those painted by Zhao Duan.
As for the wheelbase and power of the crystal-ground lenses... they have already been adjusted.
Jin Jian looked at the novel toy curiously, and carefully put it on under Zhao Duan's urging and instructions.
The exquisite nose bridge is fixed with two huge crystal pieces.
The girl's blank and unfocused eyes regained focus.
"Ugh!!"
Jin Jian was stunned, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
I was surprised to see that the originally blurry world suddenly became clear.
She looked around subconsciously, then walked forward, and then exclaimed.
He paused suddenly and subconsciously held his glasses with both hands.
"Haha, you're a little dizzy, right? You feel like this when you first put it on. As long as you can see things clearly and get used to it, you'll be fine."
Zhao Duan smiled, admiring the bespectacled girl from another world, and reminded him.
Jin Jian nodded doubtfully, then looked at him seriously and said:
"Thanks."
Zhao Duan smiled and said:
"Just thank you, senior brother. I can't make this thing by myself."
Jin Jian shook his head and said, "That's different."
Zhao Duan teased and joked: "If you insist on thanking me, you have to express it in some way."
Jin Jian clutched her shriveled purse, gritted her teeth, and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Next time you come to me for business, I... will give you a 20% discount!"
"...50% off."
"Thirty percent off!"
"40% off."
“40% off!!”
"three……"
Jin Jian sighed, lowered his head and said helplessly: "50% off, 50% off."
"It's settled."
Zhao Duan laughed out loud, which was a rare moment of joy recently.
Jin Jian looked at him curiously:
"Speaking of which, what are you doing with Fifth Senior Brother this time?"
"Make something fun." Zhao Duan asked without explaining:
"Priest Jin Jian has been very busy recently."
He saw the dark circles under the girl's eyes getting worse.
Jin Jian, who turned into a girl with glasses, nodded and said seriously:
"I'm stepping up my practice. The Buddhist and Taoist fight is coming soon, and I might be able to fight."
"Buddhist and Taoist fighting?" Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment.
An idea flashed in my mind, and I blurted out: "That tradition?"
Last time in the palace, when the empress gave him the "Six Talisman Treasure Armor", she said that the two major sorcerer sects, Buddhism and Taoism, had a tradition of fighting.
It has a long history.
The gambling and martial arts competition between the Dayu royal family and Emperor Wu's city was an imitation of Buddhist and Taoist fighting techniques.
It is said that every time there is a fight, the two schools will send outstanding disciples of their time to participate in the battle, and the outcome will affect the ranking of the two sects.
It was also a grand event for the entire Yu Dynasty to practice martial arts.
Each session attracts great attention.
"When?" Zhao Duan couldn't help asking.
Jin Jian’s voice was ethereal:
"This autumn, well, there are only about one or two months left. If we delay it, it will not be until early winter at most."
Damn it...that's not fun...Zhao Duan was shocked and said:
"Then you still have the intention to hang out here?"
Jin Jian said quietly: "Aren't I sending you out?"
Thank you... Zhao Duan said calmly: "I didn't plan to go out right now. I thought you were alone with me for something."
"...!" Jin Jian looked resentful and turned away.
What a waste of time!
"Wait a minute, tell me what that fight is all about, hello?"
Zhao Duan shouted several times, but the girl ran faster and faster, and disappeared out of sight in a flash.
"Tsk...this stupid guy represents the Tianshi Mansion..."
Zhao Duan curled his lips and thought, can he win?
However, why do you still have a little expectation in your heart?
He shook his head. He could see the excitement at any time. His top priority was to handle the affairs of Shenji Camp.
The so-called new firearms drill is naturally not just a performance, but also a part of the plan.
Zhao Duan raised his head, looked at the high and blue sky in autumn, and whispered softly:
"You guys need to know something."
