Chapter 413: Who Is He?
In an instant, Zheng Fei's eyes widened in astonishment, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, with a crisp sound, and the splashing glass slag was just like his thoughts at the moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He shuddered slightly, looking at Christine incredulously, his eyes filled with endless confusion and incomprehension.
Urban, which Urban? Who else, the Hungarian artillery designer who was rescued in Istanbul!
Christine is Urban's son...... At this moment, Zheng Fei suspected that he was dreaming.
Urban did have an amazing talent, but he could only design and forge a giant siege cannon, the legendary Urban Cannon, known as the Terminator of Constantinople.
And what Christine created was a sail battleship and a giant rifled cannon three hundred years ahead of the times, and the level of knowledge and Urban were not at all in the same space and one world!
Christine must be a time-traveler! He's lying!
However, when Zheng Fei stared into Christine's eyes and felt its glow, he somehow felt that he was not lying.
"Hmm, what's wrong with you?" Christine tilted her neck in confusion about Zheng Fei's abnormal performance.
At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and immediately I saw several guards rushing in without saying hello, holding heavy swords with panicked faces, and after seeing the scene in the house, they were embarrassed and stunned.
The sound of the glass shattering on the ground made the guards mistakenly believe that Lord Christine was in danger.
Fortunately, Lord Christine was sitting and talking to the guests, and they had the recklessness to break in, and they knew the strange temper of the adults, and if they didn't make trouble, they would be hanged......
They hung their heads tremblingly, held their breath, glanced at the toes of their companions out of the corner of their eyes, did not dare to say a word, and their palms were really pinched into a cold sweat.
In the face of the sudden disturbance, Christine blushed, glanced at the group of reckless guards who had been with him for several years, and after a moment of stalemate, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and soon, his face returned to normal.
"Let's all get out, I'm talking to the general. He said lightly, waving his hand for the group to get out of here.
The guards didn't even dare to um, and hurriedly turned around and ran out, gently bringing the door with their hands and feet.
"God forbid, picked up a life. ”
"Thankfully, you're in a good mood today. ”
They collapsed against the wall, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
The room was clean again, and Christine shook her head: "It's rude. ”
The reason why he didn't punish the guards was that he didn't want this little episode to interrupt the conversation between himself and Zheng Fei, and over the years, no one had ever been able to listen to him tell the bitter words that had been buried in his heart for many years like this.
He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, drank the little wine left in the cup, and smiled at Zheng Fei: "Where did you just go? Oh yes, how could you have such a reaction, even the cup dropped." ”
He stared at Zheng Fei, and from that look seemed to read several intertwined emotions: surprise, panic, anxiety, and anger.
Zheng Fei closed his eyes for a second, and when he opened them again, he had returned to his normal state and smiled at the other party.
"Nothing, just scared by your father's identity, a well-known genius artillery designer. ”
With that, he sat back in his chair, refilled Christine's wine, and poured another glass for himself, looking calm.
After a brief moment of shock, he had cleared his mind.
The appearance of rifled guns is acceptable, after all, it is only a matter of concept, but to say that Christine drew the drawings of the giant ship "Christian" with his own ability, Zheng Fei would never believe it.
The giant ship, both in appearance and size, resembles the famous British Navy ship of the 18th century, the Victory.
The complexity of the ship's structure, the design concept ahead of the times, and the enormity of the workload, even if Christine is really a peerless genius in sail ships, it is impossible to present its drawings in just a few years, let alone build a few years of shipbuilding.
Even Zheng Fei himself couldn't do this.
Zheng Fei felt that Christine must be hiding an unknown secret, and since he didn't want to admit it, he listened to him chatting and slowly used the effect of alcohol to slowly get out his words.
The sea breeze, hovering in the black night sky, swept through the castle built on the seashore, bringing a chilling chill that forced Christine to close the window.
"Genius artillery designer ......" Christine twisted her neck, looked up at the starry sky outside the window, and smiled bitterly: "That was all many years ago, since we went to the Turks, our family's fate has changed." ”
"Why?"
"You don't know that the monarch of Ottoman Turkey was Mehmed II, known as the conqueror with a cruel and fierce personality. He appreciated my father's talent and was eager to capture Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, so he allocated a lot of money to forge my father's siege cannon. ”
"Because of this, my father's talent was finally displayed, and our family's life became richer, and we were all very happy and felt that good days had come. Until, the day the siege plan begins. ”
Christine's eyes were distracted, perhaps trying to blow the cold wind, so she opened the window again, and stood up and leaned on the window, looking out at the dark sea in the distance.
"I will never forget the day when countless Turkish soldiers surrounded Constantinople with their huge cannons, and the huge artillery unit occupied more than a dozen miles, and I could not see my head from the hillside. ”
"When the cannon was fired, the ground shook, and the dense mass of granite cannonballs covered the sky, roaring towards the city of Constantinople, and the great city wall of Theodosius, which was known to be impregnable and indestructible, collapsed in an instant, and many soldiers laughed and exclaimed: what a magnificent scene. ”
"But when we entered the city after the battle, we saw corpses and blood all over the ground, and the former prosperity of Constantinople was in the worst of its misery, and in a bleak street my father fell to his knees and wept bitterly to atone for the sins of those who had died under the granite shells. ”
Later, we found the Ottoman Turks cruel and brutal, and my father felt that although he could get a lot of wealth by helping the Turks forge cannons, it was not what he wanted, so he asked the monarch Mehmed II to resign and leave. ”
At this point, it came to an abrupt end.
Christine slammed down the wall, and a fierce light flashed.
"Muhammad thought that a man like my father would be a great obstacle to his rule if he went to another country, so he took my mother and me into custody as a bargaining chip. (To be continued.) )
