Chapter 40: Pamphlet
yes, it's so tightly wrapped and so hidden, it must be something remarkable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xue Ying opened the booklet and found that it was also written in a mixture of several words, using a material similar to a pencil, the font was very small and dense, and after so many years, the handwriting was blurred.
But despite this, in the blurred handwriting, Xue Ying still found something that seemed familiar to her.
"Formulas?" she blinked, and with her skill, it would have been a lot of work to fully understand the stuff, but it wasn't hard to get a rough idea of what the formulas meant.
She quickly flipped through the information centers she had intercepted: gunpowder, mechanical crossbow arrows, gears, and the rudiments of the steam and internal combustion engines, each of which was an invention that could change the world.
Oh my God, this time-traveling senior is a genius!
Seeing Xue Ying's shocked face, Qiaoya cautiously asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Ying came back to her senses: "It's nothing, let's put this thing away first." ”
Dong Xun took the booklet and found a proper place to put it away.
Xue Ying was stunned for a while, until her thoughts were still tumbling when she took a nap.
If this traverser is so powerful, why is there no trace of it now? His codex records that he met a girl with a very good family background, and that girl had made a wish to change the world under his assimilation, but what happened later?
He has the scientific weapons to change the world, and she has that determination, and these two people together have achieved nothing?
Or is it ......
She opened her eyes suddenly, got up and picked up the codex again.
Sure enough, this traverser taught what he had learned, and the two of them succeeded in creating a mechanical bow and crossbow with their cooperation, but their actions attracted the attention of the government - in this era, making weapons without permission was a capital crime to exterminate the Nine Clans.
Fortunately, on the court field, they were actually saved. And the person who rescued them was a mountain forest and grass coward. Although the codex had been portraying the man as a rough man in a sour tone, Xue Ying still saw between the lines the image of a brave, resourceful, and ambitious overlord.
The young king of the mountain took the two of them up the mountain and used his power to keep them safe. In the mountains, they lived a happy life, and it was during this time that the Codex was written.
However, as he wrote, the author's style of writing slowly changed, because he found that the king of the mountain and the girl were getting closer and closer, and the girl's relationship with him was slowly estranged.
Since then, the account in the Codex has become more and more confusing, almost a gibberish, and the plot is that the girl uses the weapons she has made to help the king of the mountain repel the army sent by the government to encircle and suppress it, and even pursues it all the way until she captures several cities.
According to the codex, this group of bandits, who have become "anti-thieves", have formed a stalemate with the government after several cities, and the girl came to this traverser in order to continue to win, hoping that he can provide more help, in particular, she wants the legendary "gunpowder".
The traverser had realized that the girl's heart was not in him, and he was depressed but unwilling, so he asked the girl to marry him, and he was willing to reveal more information, but he didn't want to, and his words were heard by the "King of the Mountain". At that time, the king of the mountain was already a powerful warlord, how could he put up with this unknown man Xiao Xiang's woman, but in view of the fact that he really needed the weapons in this man's head, so, after beating the traverser violently, he put him under house arrest and forced him to write down the secret recipe for making gunpowder.
This paragraph was written in an extremely sloppy manner, and Xue Ying didn't understand a lot of the content, until the last page, only one sentence was written: "They are going to get married." ”
This is the end of it.
It's like reading a novel, and finally getting to the point comes to an abrupt end.
Xue Ying was stunned, and Qiaoya's voice sounded in her ears: "Miss, why are you up?" came over and looked at it, strange, "Didn't you sleep?"
"Ah...... Xue Ying's spirit still wandered, "bring me that booklet." ”
"Huh?" Although she didn't understand, Qiaoya still looked for Dong Xun and took out the booklet.
Xue Ying hastily flipped through it again, and finally saw a line of small words in the corner of the last page: To my love, Jiang Li. ”
Jiang Li's name seems a little familiar.
Xue Ying thought about it carefully and called Dong Xun: "Do you remember the name Jiang Li?"
Dong Xun's expression changed greatly, and his little face turned white with nervousness: "Miss, the name of Empress Wuren can't be mentioned casually." ”
Empress Wuren?
Xue Ying remembered. This Empress Wuren was a founding queen, but the founding emperor died early, so she listened to the government for twenty-five years during the reign of her son Emperor Shun, during which she vigorously promoted the new policy of Emperor Shun, and the most prominent feature of Emperor Shun's new policy was to enhance the status of women, allow women to participate in politics and join the army, and implement monogamy.
Emperor Shun's new policy was vigorous, new-style families sprung up, and the whole society took on a new look. Unfortunately, two years after Empress Takehito's death, Sun Tzu Ying Emperor succeeded to the throne, and immediately after that, the old system began to be restored, and the families that followed Empress Takehito in carrying out the New Deal reforms gradually collapsed, until today, they have become "non-mainstream", replaced by ordinary families that blend the new and the old. Under the admiration of Emperor Ying, those old-style families who had never changed their style of conduct in Emperor Shun's new policy became a model for the new era, called "Rongdian".
For this series of changes, Xue Ying has only one thought: what the hell, after tossing for a long time, this society is actually even more chaotic.
Of course, the focus she has to consider now is not this, but that Jiang Li has become the founding queen from the wife of a thief and a grass coward, is there any credit for the traverser?
Jiang Li mastered the method of making a mechanical bow and crossbow, and then what about the gunpowder formula she wanted in her heart, did the traverser give it to her?
Xue Ying frowned and looked at the booklet in her hand: this booklet is written very seriously, not like it was written by a person who was imprisoned after falling out of love. She remembered that it was recorded in the codex that the traverser had been busy for a while in order to prepare a "surprise" for Jiang Li, and when he came back to his senses, Jiang Li was already like glue with the mountain king.
Surely this booklet is the "surprise".
Jiang Li could have obtained the gunpowder formula and even other more rebellious modern technologies effortlessly, but when all this was prepared, she had already stepped into the arms of another person.
Jiang Li and her husband put this traveler under house arrest, and then? Since this pamphlet appeared here instead of being kept in the palace, could she infer that Jiang Li didn't get it back then?
So, gunpowder, gears, steam engines, internal combustion engines did not appear in this era.
But why is this pamphlet hidden on the roof of this mountain courtyard, and what happened in the meantime?
