Unexpectedly, Rong Chengxuan not only understood it quickly, but also made some changes to a few places that Yun Wanwan had always felt were inappropriate.
Rong Chengxuan held Yun Wanwan's hand and added a few things to the paper: "Do you think this will be better?"
Yun Wanwan's eyes lit up as she looked at the few places Rong Chengxuan had modified. She exclaimed, "Rong Chengxuan! You know what? If you were in our place, this would be considered genius!"
Rong Chengxuan let go of Yun Wanwan's hand and smiled faintly, "Actually, the military is also researching this thing called explosives, but we've tried it a few times and haven't been successful, so it's been put on hold for now. I also went to observe them a few times while they were researching, so I learned some of the principles. I only stumbled upon your drawings today by chance."
Yun Wanwan also put down her brush and showed her drawing to Ge Zichen and Xiao Song. "What do you think?"
Ge Zichen and Xiao Song lowered their heads and studied it for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that they could not understand the blueprint, but according to what the prince and princess said, if the things on the blueprint could be made, the Western Zhou army would have no choice but to stand and be beaten by them.
Ge Zichen and Xiao Song raised their heads and said in unison, "We subordinates will obey the orders of the Prince and Princess!"
Yun Wanwan looked up at Rong Chengxuan, her eyes filled with indescribable excitement. If she could truly develop gunpowder and bombs, Beichen would be invincible. Even without Rong Chengxuan personally commanding the army, they could still win the battle.
Yun Wanwan didn't know before that when Rong Chengxuan went on the expedition, he also had to deal with memorials sent by express horse from the capital. These days, Rong Chengxuan would not come to his room until midnight every day.
"Rong Chengxuan, after I make the gunpowder and bombs, can you assign me two hundred people?" Yun Wanwan raised her head and gestured to him. "These two hundred people must be smart. I will personally teach them how to use these gunpowder and bombs."
When Ge Zichen heard that Yun Wanwan was going to teach someone how to use this extremely powerful weapon, he was the first to get restless. Pointing at himself, he asked, "Princess, do you think I look smart?"
Xiao Song put his hand on Ge Zichen's shoulder and poured a bucket of cold water on him. "Forget it. I'm afraid if you learn this, the next time you're training new recruits and find something you don't like about them, you'll just blow up the entire camp with gunpowder."
Ge Zichen quickly pushed Xiao Song off him and defended himself, "Princess, please don't listen to him slandering me. He just thinks I'm too smart and doesn't want me to learn from you, so that's why he said that. I have everything I need, but I'm smart and steady."
Xiao Song was silenced by Ge Zichen, who covered his mouth, but he still didn't miss the opportunity to mock him. He snorted softly, expressing his disdain. The look he gave Ge Zichen from above was filled with sarcasm. This was a much better way to put it than before.
Yun Wanwan laughed at the sight of the two chicks pecking each other. "I'll still listen to your prince regarding military matters. If you want to learn how to use gunpowder and bombs from me, you should go and tell your prince."
Compared to Yun Wanwan, Rong Chengxuan seemed not so easy to talk to. When Yun Wanwan asked them to talk to Rong Chengxuan, the two of them immediately fell silent, and then stood aside obediently listening to Rong Chengxuan and Yun Wanwan discuss how to better configure gunpowder and explosives.
By the time Yun Wanwan finished drawing the design again, it was already completely dark outside. Ge Zichen and Xiao Song, having no orders from Rong Chengxuan, had been waiting by Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan's side.
Yun Wanwan rubbed her neck and looked up, only to see Ge Zichen and Xiao Song still standing there. "Just now, while Rong Chengxuan and I were drawing, you two were standing here?"
Xiao Song replied, "The prince has not given a clear order, so the subordinates dare not leave."
Yun Wanwan glanced at Rong Chengxuan, who was still staring at the blueprints on the table, clearly not paying attention to their conversation. So, she waved her hand and told them to go back. "Next time this happens, just let me know and go back down. Rong Chengxuan and I tend to forget about you when we're busy, so there's nothing we need someone to wait on us for."
Ge Zichen and Xiao Song responded, indicating that they knew everything, and then followed Yun Wanwan's instructions and went downstairs.
Rong Chengxuan added a few more strokes to the blueprint before looking up from the table. He glanced around and saw that Ge Zichen and Xiao Song had already left. He then looked at the completely dark sky outside and asked, "Is it that late already?"
"Yeah." Yun Wanwan stretched lazily. "Since it's getting late, I'll tell the Chief of Staff and the Left Guard to go back and rest."
As she spoke, Yun Wanwan walked over to Rong Chengxuan and picked up the blueprint he had just revised. "Then I'll start making the gunpowder and bombs tomorrow." She estimated the time in her mind and said, "Give me about ten days, and I should be able to make the quantity needed for the battlefield."
"Ten days?" Rong Chengxuan frowned, feeling uneasy. "Is such a short time enough? Do you want me to find some people to help you make it?"
Yun Wanwan shook her head, rejecting Rong Chengxuan's suggestion. "No, even the slightest inexperience or misstep in the production process could cost lives. Even I have to be extremely cautious, let alone those craftsmen who have never experienced this before."
Yun Wanwan's words made sense. It was because she herself had come into contact with these things in the modern era that she had the guts to promise Rong Chengxuan that she would make them. If someone who knew nothing about this had been put in charge, they might end up accidentally injuring their own people before they could even make the gunpowder bomb.
Rong Chengxuan also knew that what Yun Wanwan said made sense. Just like Yun Wanwan said, even she had to be very careful when making this thing, let alone those craftsmen who were still novices. Rong Chengxuan rarely insisted on his own ideas.
"Then let's go back and rest. Leave everything else here. I'll come over tomorrow and clean it up myself."
"Wait a minute." Yun Wanwan stopped Rong Chengxuan, who was about to lead her out. She picked up a brush and quickly wrote down a few things she needed on a piece of paper. She handed it to Rong Chengxuan, "I need these things tomorrow. If possible, could you have them prepared for me tonight?"
