"Your Majesty's wisdom is as vast as the sea, and I am truly convinced of it."

Sima Qi seemed to understand the emperor's intention.

But the ministers who usually governed the country were completely bewildered, especially Liu Yanzong, who thought to himself: You flatter me even more fakely than I do. The emperor puts on a show, and you all scramble to fawn over him.

At this moment, how could Zhao Huan let go of the opportunity to show off in front of his ministers?

He turned to look at Xu Churen and the others and said, "Do my beloved ministers understand?"

The ministers bowed their heads and said, "We are foolish and ignorant."

Knowing you're dull-witted is enough; I'll teach you.

With the intention of showing off, Zhao Huan said, "My dear ministers, why do you think our Great Song's Divine Arm Crossbow has such great power that it makes the Jin invaders and the Tanguts wary?"

Tang Ke quickly replied, "The Divine Arm Crossbow is well-made, and its bowstring is strong and durable."

"Why can the crossbow bolt be fired?"

Fatty Tang continued, "Drawing the bow and shooting an arrow is the way of Heaven."

Zhao Huan shook his head, giving Tang Ke a look that said, "You're hopeless." He said, "When we pull the bowstring, the string itself generates a force, and the arrow flies out with this force."

"Similarly, if a device that can store power like a flint is installed in the musket, pressing down the flint to collide with the gunpowder and generate explosive force, pushing the iron shot out of the musket, then the situation of the match cord not igniting, as seen earlier, would not occur."

When the emperor said this, the ministers were completely bewildered and confused, but Chen Gui and others felt as if they had suddenly found a way out of a difficult situation.

Chen Gui was completely dumbfounded, and he immediately knelt down.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Han Gonglian also knelt down.

Sima Qi felt that he had been studying engineering for decades and was already a rare engineering genius in the Song Dynasty, but he was forced to kneel down after just a few words from the emperor.

I kneel before Your Majesty!
