Chapter 148: Seeking Advice (I)
In fact, when the mecha chariot started, Duanmuqi didn't enjoy the feeling of being able to run on his own. Instead, he stopped pedaling and took a closer look at this novel transmission.
After all, Duanmuqi is a very knowledgeable and knowledgeable person, and he is also very talented in this kind of mechanical knowledge, and he immediately understood the principle in the middle. But Duanmuqi sighed very much: "I have seen this kind of transmission on some waterwheels, but the structure is far from being so precise, and it can only play some auxiliary roles." With this kind of transmission wheel, the spacing between each gear and the number of teeth have to be calculated a lot, right? I'm afraid that even if you know this principle, it will be difficult to develop it yourself. ”
The calculation method in this era is still in the stage of planning, and it is still very difficult to accurately calculate the data between the gears. Now Zhuxiaobao has adopted a unified measurement technology standard, which provides very convenient conditions for future processing and manufacturing. Therefore, the triangular ruler, protractor, and ruler on his table were all used as units according to the metric system of later generations.
Duanmuqi was not interested in the two heavy crossbows in the front row at all, these things were originally provided by them. But then Tong Wuxin fired two 'cannonballs', which made Duanmu Qi completely shocked. At the same time, Duanmu Qi immediately realized that this was by no means something that Thunderbolt Hall could make, but the handiwork of Zhu Xiaobao. This power is even more terrifying than the legend suggests. It is definitely a new type of killing weapon that can change the pattern of war.
Duanmu Qi stepped down from the mecha chariot and bowed deeply to Zhu Xiaobao: "Thank you very much Xiaobao for your trust in Lao Yu, I thank you again for coming to Xiu, for the things in this room, Lao Yu will never reveal it to anyone, including the Seventh Princess!" ”
In fact, this time the launch was completed by Tong Wuxin, of course, it was launched with the consent of Zhu Xiaobao, but Tong Wuxin was still a little apprehensive, the power of this thing was too great. Wu Yue was also a little hesitant, this is the biggest secret of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land! However, Duanmuqi understood things very well, and immediately made a solemn statement.
"It doesn't matter! My brother is the person I trust the most, if you hadn't sent Duanmu Shilang to protect us, I'm afraid we would really have to be assassinated by His Highness the Sixth! It's nothing. But Xiaobao also has something to ask my brother for! Zhu Xiaobao said nonchalantly.
In fact, Zhu Xiaobao is not very satisfied with the current research results, that is, the products of the transitional period, which are too far worse than he imagined. Let's just say that this kind of mecha chariot, in addition to the six that were blown up, has now damaged four more, the durability of this mecha chariot is still very poor, and it will not be used a few times, and the wooden gears and wheels have cracked.
"Huh! Thank you, thank you, today's decay is really an eye-opener! I can't imagine that there can be such a powerful mecha chariot! King Ming's ironclad army was not unjustly defeated at all! Duanmu Qi smiled happily, in addition to being the strategist of the Seventh Princess. He is also an enthusiast in mecha manufacturing. When he has nothing to do, he prefers to calm down and do some processing and development.
Then Duanmu Qi was also amazed by the great beauty behind Zhu Xiaobao, he already knew that Jumei could pull the golden stone bow, not Zhao Meng's camp where he went first! But now I am still very shocked to see Jumei shoot two arrows, this is even more fierce than Zhao Meng back then! And Jumei can continue to shoot continuously, which is definitely a powerful deterrent to the opposing camp.
Then Duanmuqi taught Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin's martial arts, and Wu Yue's progress was very fast, which made Duanmu Qi very surprised. But Tong Wuxin's progress was very little, and he almost stood still, which made Duanmuqi a little dissatisfied. Tong Wuxin's talent is the best among Duanmu Eleven, but he didn't expect to come here to make slow progress, and now Tong Wuxin is somewhat content with the status quo, so he wants to stay in the cave heaven and be happy, and it seems that he is very satisfied.
I wanted Zhu Xiaobao to teach the footwork of the Mandarin Duck Knife to Tong Wuxin, but Duanmu Qi was embarrassed to speak, after all, it was Zhu Xiaobao and Wu Yue's unique secret book, although he had also understood the mystery of the Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram, but he couldn't leak it!
Duanmu Qi didn't reprimand Tong Wuxin, he planned to find a time to wake up Tong Wuxin, after all, the situation has begun to be chaotic now, and the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is not a very safe place, besides, is it really just staying in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to eat and wait for death!
In the morning, Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin still took the female guards to practice as usual, while Duanmu Qi only stayed in Zhu Xiaobao's study and never came out. Duanmuqi is learning four operations with Zhu Xiaobao, although it is a primary school thing, Duanmuqi is also sweating profusely, after all, the time is too short, addition and subtraction is okay, and multiplication can be understood, but when it comes to division, Duanmuqi can't figure it out, and Zhu Xiaobao's teaching level is also very blunt, which makes Duanmuqi sweat all over!
But Duanmuqi's heart was extremely shocked, Zhu Xiaobao's calculation method completely surpassed any calculation method at that time, and the efficiency was increased by dozens of times, or even hundreds of times. And it's extremely practical. But now the time is too tight, Duanmuqi has to copy the ninety-nine table, as well as those strange Arabic numerals, take them back and memorize them first. Because it was already noon, Wu Yue and Tong Wuxin also came back.
Today, it is inevitable to entertain Duanmuqi well, but Ying Xiuxiu and the other three are busy working, and the three of them can already cope with the general scene, anyway, Duanmuqi is not very particular about food, he is obsessed with those mechanical manufacturing and four operations.
At the dinner table, Wu Yue asked with some worry: "Mr. Duanmu, do you think our princess can stand firm in Xiyuan City?" ”
In fact, Wu Yue also knew that she was far from gaining a firm foothold in Xiyuan City now, at most, her development was relatively stable, but she still encountered a lot of messy things, and what worried her even more was Xia Zixiu's ability, this person seemed to be really overestimated.
"Huh! Then it depends on what the nineteenth princess thinks. If she just survived, with the support of the Seventh Princess, I'm sure no one would be able to touch her. If you have other ideas, it's hard to say! Duanmu Qi pondered for a moment, then smiled. His meaning was obvious, he was reminding the nineteenth princess that if she wanted to claim her own fief, she would have to take a big risk. Even fear for your life! Because the seventh princess will definitely not support an opponent who can compete with herself.
"What does that gentleman think of Xia Zixiu?" Wu Yue asked a little unrelentingly.
"Hmmm! My evaluation of this person is just four words---- which is useless! Far worse than his father! In fact, Xia Zhongkun also said that if he was gone, he asked Xia Zixiu to give up Xiyuan City, and it would be very good to be able to keep the family business. Unexpectedly, Xia Zixiu did not act according to Xia Zhongkun's last orders, but moved all the family's forces to Xiyuan City. I'm afraid this is about to come to a catastrophe! Duanmuqi frowned before he said slowly, in fact, he still admired Xia Zhongkun very much, the old man was very capable, that is, he was too straightforward, which led to a catastrophe.
"Then what does Mr. think of the marriage between my princess and Xia Zixiu? Is it a pro or a cons? Wu Yue asked worriedly.
Originally, Wu Yue was very optimistic about this marriage, but Chief Wu did not approve of it. But as time passed, even Wu Yue herself began to doubt. It seems that this Xia Zixiu is not worthy of his own princess! What's more, the nineteenth princess also behaved helplessly, just wanted to increase her strength as soon as possible, the original wind and snow, the feeling of heartbeat was completely gone!
"Not good! The pros definitely outweigh the cons! Now anyone who wants to make a move on Xiyuan City has to face two forces, one is Xia Zixiu, the city lord of Xiyuan City who was ordered by the emperor to be protective, and the other is the nineteenth princess, and there is the full support of the seventh princess behind her! And even if there is any war, it is Xia Zixiu who bears the brunt now, he is the lord of the city, and he has many soldiers and horses. And the nineteenth princess only needs to sit in the rear! Even if the war is unfavorable, there is still Zhao Meng's support, which can be described as peace of mind! Duanmuqi immediately said categorically negative. Then he looked at Zhu Xiaobao, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao to listen very seriously, it seemed that this was the first time he had seen Zhu Xiaobao care so much about the political situation.
Duanmuqi took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Once the two get married, the two forces become one. On the surface, it seems that the strength has increased. But all of a sudden, the stakes have become greater! Everyone will notice that the strength of the Nineteenth Princess has increased by leaps and bounds. And my princess will also be suspicious, do you think the gains outweigh the losses? ”
"Oh! What a hassle! I don't understand, Xia Zixiu is also very talented, why can't he do anything! Wu Yue said upset, she was very supportive of the marriage between the nineteenth princess and Xia Zixiu at the beginning, but now it will be in the future, thinking about how to persuade the nineteenth princess to give up this marriage.
"So one plus one is less than two? Xia Zixiu is a parallel import, and when they are combined, he will evaporate half? Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said.
"Huh? Hahahaha, this metaphor is very interesting, and it is really apt! Duanmuqi was stunned, and then laughed heartily.
"You already knew the result? You don't tell me? Wu Yue asked very angrily, but he didn't expect all the little treasures to see it, but he didn't notice it at all.
"Why, didn't I just understand it after listening to my brother's words!" Zhu Xiaobao said angrily, in fact, he had long opposed the marriage between the nineteenth princess and Xia Zixiu, but he didn't analyze it as thoroughly, that is, he was very disgusted with Xia Zixiu from the bottom of his heart. Who made this guy look so coquettish!
"Huh! Wu Yue, you can say my words to the nineteenth princess, but you can't say that I said it! Otherwise, the Seventh Princess would know, and the old head on the neck would not be able to be saved! Duanmuqi said to Wu Yue with a smile.
In fact, this is the most contradictory place in Duanmuqi's heart, he really wants to meet Zhu Xiaobao, but he is afraid of meeting Zhu Xiaobao. Because she is the person of the Seventh Princess, she always unconsciously wants to help Zhu Xiaobao and Wu Yue. But sometimes it's really difficult. Duanmuqi has already seen that the ambition of the nineteenth princess is not low, and she will never be satisfied with just settling down......
