After all, she also knew that Su Changan's internal strength had stagnated and his training was not going very smoothly.
He even went to find Yan Yunxiao to talk about this, but Yan Yunxiao said that Su Changan did not need horizontal training, and he just needed to continue fighting with Su Changan like this.
Su Changan didn't care, because she could clearly feel that her swordsmanship was becoming more and more proficient, and her speed was getting faster and faster, especially she could see Lian Wei's movements clearly.
It has only been such a short time and it has achieved this, which makes Su Changan quite proud.
At one point, Su Changan felt like he was a genius.
But [Yiweiting] will bring him back to reality. After all, he still stops at the third level and cannot break through the fourth level.
Yan Ruyu told Su Changan not to worry, because according to the time, her father's reply should be here soon.
After practicing sword skills, the next step is to practice calligraphy.
After finishing writing "Dream of Red Mansions", Su Changan actually stopped practicing calligraphy for a few days.
After all, I don’t know what to write.
What Yan Yunxiao meant was that at this point it didn't matter whether he practiced calligraphy or not. After all, Su Changan's sword already had the intent of a sword. The reason why he asked Su Changan to practice calligraphy was to help him develop the intent of a sword.
However, Su Changan felt that since he had persisted in practicing calligraphy until now, he should continue.
So after thinking for a few days, he decided to write some fantasy stories that people would like to read, the kind that are happy. "Dream of Red Mansions" made people cry a lot.
then
Su Changan decided to write "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
He doesn’t know whether “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio” makes people cry, but it is actually happier than “A Dream of Red Mansions”.
Finished practicing today's characters.
Xuan Xia and the others naturally ran to see today's story. The previous story of Nie Xiaoqian made them talk about Su Changan a lot.
Because Su Changan told them it was a perfect ending, but in the end Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen both died.
After Su Changan finished writing, he made some preparations.
Because I made an appointment with Xia Fengxiang yesterday, I will bring the two craftsmen here at about this time today.
Not long after, Xia Fengxiang and the two craftsmen from the Shen Ce Palace arrived, along with Mu Xu.
It is worth mentioning that Su Changan saw Mu Xu holding a brocade box in his arms, obviously he came to deliver something.
But Su Changan thought about it and wondered if this person was here to invite him to give a lecture.
There were two craftsmen in the Shen Ce Mansion, one was a middle-aged man and the other was an old man.
Xia Fengxiang had already introduced the two people who came today to Su Changan, so Su Changan knew that the old man's name was Lu Ban and the middle-aged man's name was Zhu Mian.
According to Xia Fengxiang, the two men's accomplishments in such matters as mechanical schemes and calculations were extraordinary. Even when the late emperor was alive, he relied heavily on them.
However, Su Changan also thought of it. After all, he only gave a vague musket drawing, a cannon drawing, and a musket he made that he didn't know if it could fire.
As a result, these two people actually figured it out, and even now artillery has reached a bottleneck.
The musket was even more developed because of Su Changan's pistol. The two of them had already developed the flintlock to the point where it could be fired, and the matchlock method was completely abandoned.
It can be said that the technology tree has made leaps and bounds in progress.
These two have been staying in the Shen Ce Mansion, but they have heard a lot about Su Chang'an. In their ears, this Miss Chang'an is no different from a banished immortal.
However, the two of them didn't know whether he was a banished immortal or not, but just the muskets and cannons he made were enough to make them admire Su Changan very much.
When they saw the future queen, they were shocked. She really was like a banished immortal.
Su Changan did not dare to neglect these two national weapons, so after the two saluted him, he also returned the salute.
Seeing the two people's panic, she also explained that she was not the queen yet, but just the eldest daughter of the Su family, and could not accept such a big gift.
The two did not dare to say much, they just felt that the future queen was indeed as friendly and amiable as the rumors said.
After Su Changan greeted Mu Xu again, he brought the three of them to the hall.
Su Changan could see that Mu Xu was very anxious!
He obviously wanted to say something, but with Xia Fengxiang around, he didn't dare to say much. He could only look at Zhu Mian and Lu Ban, as if urging them to hurry up.
However, Zhu Mianluban ignored Mu Xu and just lowered his head.
After everyone was seated, Zhu Mian wanted to speak but was stopped by Lu Ban.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to me and Master Mu. If you have anything to say, just talk to Su Changan. You don't need to worry about anything because of Master Mu. Master Mu is not a talkative person."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu was stunned for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. Along the way, he was wondering what the two people wanted to do with Su Changan, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Miss Changan was very clever and always had some little inventions.
But now after hearing this, Mu Xu suddenly understood. Well, he came here to ask for a favor, but it seems like he has been tricked by His Majesty again this time?
Knowing not to say it out loud, Mu Xu looked at Xia Fengxiang and nodded quickly: "Mu Xu's ears are deaf today."
But I sighed in my heart, thinking that now that His Majesty has stopped pretending, how come he has become even more cunning than the late emperor?
Su Changan smiled helplessly and looked at Zhu Mian and Lu Ban.
The two men could no longer bear it, and Zhu Mian asked directly, "Miss Chang'an, have you seen the musket we sent you earlier?"
Su Changan nodded: "You two are much better than I thought. Based on my blueprint, you have improved the pistol so much just by relying on the pistol I made. Daxia is lucky to have you two."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mian and Lu Ban bowed and expressed their gratitude.
Then Zhu Mian shook his head and said, "No, no, Miss Chang'an is a genius for thinking of muskets and cannons. We are just copying her. But I have a question. I was thinking before, what if we don't use flint in the gun, but use the impact method to shoot the bullet out of the gun? Because the power of the musket is already very good, but the loading speed is too slow. If it is used on the battlefield, it can become a powerful weapon, but if the speed is not improved, it will be inferior to the light cavalry of the barbarians or the cavalry of the Tibetans. After all, it is impossible to hit the target every time."
Zhu Mian finished speaking, and Lu Ban added: "The durability of current muskets is not very good, because after use, there may be gunpowder remaining in the barrel. If a gun is not maintained in time, the gunpowder may even explode in the barrel. So there is no way to improve this mode, but the two of us have thought about it for a long time and really can't think of a solution, so we asked Your Majesty to come to see you today, so I want to ask Miss Chang'an if there is any way?"
Su Changan listened to the two people's questions and felt somewhat impressed by the wisdom of the ancients, although this was not the same world as before.
But I just gave them the idea, and as a result, both of them have developed the research to this stage.
Because what these two people are talking about is the process of upgrading muskets to rifles, right?
Especially what Lu Ban said, it's completely the concept of breech-loading.
Seeing the two people looking at him with sharp and eager eyes, Su Changan lowered his head and opened the blueprint he had been drawing for some time.
This included a breech-loading rifle.
just
The painting is a bit ugly.
Because Su Changan only vaguely remembered some of the appearances, and many places were quite different.
Even when Su Changan was drawing this, he was wondering whether it could be made. After all, he didn't know whether Daxia could make all the parts in it.
But these are just the business of these two people. By explaining the concept to them and letting them know what I mean, it will definitely be accomplished. It is just a matter of time.
When Su Changan was looking for the original rifle drawings, the two of them also lowered their heads to look at those drawings.
Although the painting was a little unsightly, both of them were experts and could tell at a glance that many of the things on it were mechanical parts or some convenient things in life.
Some of them surprised the two of them because they hadn't even thought of them.
Finally, Su Changan found the original rifle blueprint that he had drawn based on his memory. It was very sloppily drawn, and even many parts were unclear.
Handing the blueprint to the two, Su Changan said, "I have a vague concept, but I can only rely on you two to study it. What I thought of is breech loading, which is what I drew. After the gun is pulled, the loading place of the gun is exposed, and it is closed after loading the bullets. There is no need for the cumbersome steps of the musket. You just need to put the bullets in. Although you still have to put them one by one, the speed is much faster. And although I have drawn the bullets here, just like the gun, you still have to study it and make suitable bullets."
After hearing what Su Changan said, Zhu Mian and Lu Ban couldn't wait to look at the drawings in their hands. The next second, they both showed a look of horror. However, after looking at each other, they seemed to want to discuss it, but they didn't dare to speak.
Su Changan handed the paper and pen that he had prepared long ago to the two of them.
Zhu Mianluban immediately saluted towards Su Changan, picked up a pen and started drawing and writing while looking at Su Changan's drawings. It was obvious that he already had some ideas.
Mu Xu looked at Zhu Mianlu's appearance from the side.
Then he turned his head and lowered it, not daring to look anywhere else.
He didn't know what this thing was, but after listening to it, he knew it was definitely something from the military, and something very useful at that.
I was wondering in my mind, how come Miss Chang'an is so capable? Her literary talent is one thing, but she can also do these things?
Raising his head slightly, Mu Xu looked at the empress.
Seeing His Majesty looking at him proudly, Mu Xu smiled and lowered his head again.
Are you asking me to show off?
It shouldn’t be.
After Zhu Mian and Luban scribbled on the paper for a long time, they looked up at Su Changan.
Su Changan could see that the two were confused, but he sighed and shook his head at them. "Like I said, it's just an idea. I don't know how to do it specifically. I still need you two to research it, but the difficulty may be higher than the previous musket. It may require you two to put in more effort."
Zhu Mian and Lu Ban looked at each other with some regret, but still bowed to Su Changan, and then Lu Ban said: "With such a blueprint, we can build it. It's nothing more than brainstorming. Please rest assured, Miss Changan, we will definitely go all out! Even if we can't do it, the next generation will definitely be able to do it. We will definitely not let your majesty and Miss Changan down."
Su Changan smiled, bowed in return, and took out the blueprint of the "warship" he had drawn.
Mu Xu took a look and was surprised. Why is the calligraphy and painting on this boat so poor?
Xia Fengxiang took a look at this person and recognized him as the one he said was ugly yesterday. Then he waited for Su Changan to explain with some anticipation.
Zhu Mian and Lu Ban looked at the blueprint, but they didn't quite understand it. They only saw that it was a warship.
Su Changan explained: "If we install cannons on warships, we can directly fire cannons to attack the enemy during naval battles. If possible, we don't even need to engage in close combat to defeat the enemy. However, I don't know if our current warships can be equipped with cannons without affecting their performance, because this involves many aspects such as draft, agility, and speed, and it still requires research by masters like you two."
Zhu Mian and Lu Ban were unfamiliar with some of the words Su Changan said, but they knew what they meant after thinking about it, so they didn't ask.
However, Su Changan explained it very clearly, so after listening, the two looked at Su Changan's strange painting with surprise on their faces.
Yes, cannons can also be loaded onto ships! !
Before, I was only thinking about how to make the cannon more powerful and more stable, and even more so, how to deal with the barbarians, but I didn't think about these things.
Xia Fengxiang was also a little surprised, because she had never thought of such an easy thing to do.
But the main reason is that Daxia has unimpeded sea transportation, and its biggest enemy at sea is just some pirates.
But if we can build such a warship as an escort, we can explore further places.
So Xia Fengxiang also fell into some thoughts, and she remembered the "gold" that Su Changan mentioned when he mentioned this painting yesterday.
Mu Xu was thinking about something on the side.
Su Changan looked at Zhu Mian and Lu Ban, bowed and said seriously: "Maritime transport is of great benefit. You two, this matter is as important as muskets and cannons. Unfortunately, I don't know a thing or two about shipbuilding, so I can't help you. But please tell people who are proficient in this field to make sure to build this kind of warship."
Su Changan is like this.
Zhu Mian and Lu Ban were startled, and quickly stood up to return the greeting, saying together, "We will definitely live up to Miss Chang'an's trust."
