Chapter 184 "Small Arms"
Bei Jingchu suppressed her soft heart and used her calmest reason to judge the pros and cons of this matter for Vietnam.
She answered in the negative.
"I think the tragedy of the Five Barbarians' Rebellion should not be repeated in the Central Plains."
Aye gave her a meaningful look and said, "Not bad."
......
Changyan always does some weird things during his rest time.
Some were useful, like the sword hidden in a hairpin she always wore, and some were completely useless or even ugly.
Occasionally there is some beautiful junk.
Bei Jingchu didn't stop her from doing things and just focused on cultivating her child's interest.
Sometimes she would go find Changyan and look through her finished products to see if there was anything that interested her.
When I went there today, Changyan was holding a pipe and sharpening it there.
Haoyue knocked on the door: "Changyan, His Highness is here."
He puffed out a long cigarette and saluted.
Bei Jingchu waved her hand to let her get up, walked to the bamboo tube, and asked her: "What are you doing?"
"Your Highness, I have a request."
"Can you give me some of the stuff that Lord Zhou used to blow up Renshou Temple last time?"
[Eh~ It feels like Jiujiu deliberately blew up Jinshouden. ]
[Changyan is still as silent as ever. 】
Haoyue nodded slightly, agreeing with the princess' words.
"What do you want to do? You've seen that thing before. It directly burned down a side hall of Renshou Hall. It's quite dangerous."
Changyan held the pipe she had just made in both hands.
Bei Jingchu took it casually and fiddled with it curiously.
"When the fire broke out in the Jinshouden Hall, the noise was like thunder, and it must have been very powerful."
"I thought that if we put the explosive object in the tube and attach the arrow shaft to the front end."
"After it is ignited, can we use its power to shoot the arrow out?"
She said shyly, "Your Highness knows that I like to make some small weapons."
"I just made this for fun. It may not succeed. Your Highness, please don't laugh at me."
Bei Jingchu held the bamboo tube blankly.
Suddenly I felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds and I dared not play with it as casually as I did just now.
[Hey, this, this, you call this a toy? 】
[This is clearly a simplified version of a gun! ]
【This is a great masterpiece that marks the era! 】
Haoyue took a look at the bamboo tube which looked so ordinary.
Is it really that magical?
Bei Jingchu reverently returned the pipe to Changyan, fearing that it might be damaged in the slightest.
If I wasn't afraid that Changyan would be questioned, I would have just wanted to light a cigarette for the boss.
Bei Jingchu patted her chest and promised: "Just wait, I will definitely get it for you."
Thinking about what he was about to gain, Bei Jingchu was so excited that he wanted to rub his hands.
Last time, Zhou Huanjiu handed the recipe to the emperor, and he took it for production.
So if you want to get some gunpowder, just tell Aye.
And as for what Changyan wanted to do, even if she couldn't get it, she would go out of the palace and force Zhou Huanjiu to make it for her!
Bei Jingchu discovered that Aye really trusted her, so after she told him, she had some medicine brought in from outside the palace without asking why.
Not long after, Chang Yan came to her with a dusty face and said, "Your Highness, the fire crossbow you were concerned about has been made."
"Okay, okay, but you should wash your face first."
Now Bei Jingchu feels extremely sorry for Chang Yan.
This is her treasure!
As expected of a genius in mechanical engineering stamped by the system, she is her own god!
Bei Jingchu tried the fire crossbow made by Changyan.
Insert the fire into the back of the pipe. With a spurting sound, sparks will spurt out from the back and the arrow at the front will fly out.
The power is not actually strong.
It would be better for Bei Jingchu to bend the bow and shoot the arrow himself, so that the arrow he shoots is more accurate and powerful.
If it is for the convenience of those who have not learned it, the power of a crossbow is similar, and there is no need for gunpowder.
Therefore, Changyan felt that what he made was just a little toy to play with.
Changyan was a little shy: "I made Your Highness laugh."
She was somewhat touched. The little thing she made was obviously not presentable, but His Highness was so supportive.
This must be to avoid undermining her confidence and interest in these things.
He also continued to support her, allowing her to do what she loved and finding materials for her.
How can Your Highness be so nice?
Even though he may not be a very human being sometimes, Your Highness is so nice!
I think about the contrast between my past when I was not recognized and my life now.
Changyan's eyes even became moist.
Afterwards, she did not see the princess speak, but heard a voice: [Changyan, this efficiency is not good. ]
[Should we trick her into doing more and evolve this lethal weapon?]
[Why don't you give up your job as a personal maid and do these first? ]
[But am I going too far? She is still a child, a real child.]
Long smoke:?
I have a bad feeling.
Finally, Bei Jingchu looked at Changyan, who was not much taller than her, and for once found her conscience again. She did not really lock her up in a small dark room and make her do chores.
Let your children develop freely; inspiration is very important.
