"Killing Xue Zhen alone is indeed an ultimate test of courage, courage and even will." "I believe that with the wisdom and courage of the Clumber-Haysen family, we will be able to turn the situation around and revitalize the family, and our opportunity is this military sniper rifle bid!" ”

The old lord sighed, "Before I lost more than half of the excellent craftsmen, I still had some confidence, but now I ...... Alas, I have devoted too much of my life to improving the technique of 'roasting' and have little research on the art of making guns. In this bidding, I pondered for many days and found that I was really powerless. Dragon, if you really have an idea, just go ahead and don't care too much about success or failure, I will fully support you! ”

Because of the relationship between his profession and his profession, Weiss is familiar with the structure of many classic firearms in the period of black powder and smokeless gunpowder, which is his greatest advantage, on the other hand, he is a pure layman in the gunarms manufacturing industry, and he is not absolutely sure whether he can successfully develop firearms that adapt to this world and this era, so he responded firmly and calmly: "I should do my best." ”

The old lord nodded: "I will let Jose arrange the manpower and try to give you the best configuration." In addition, Workshop 21 is dedicated to you during this time. ”

Outside the window, the sky was getting dark, and the old lord said, "It's late today, let's start work early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Hmm!" Weiss casually asked, "How many days are left until the bidding deadline?" ”

"There are five days left before the bidding deadline, and three days are enough to build a new gun by improving the existing guns. Success or failure does not depend on the length of time, but on ideas, creativity, and design. Even if we don't win this time, we still have a chance in the future. ”

Speaking of this, the old lord laughed, and there was relief and bitterness in his smile.

What? Only five days left? Weiss couldn't help but widen his eyes, this is really a race against time, day and night to rush to work to be able to hand in a satisfactory answer!

After thinking about it, the reason why Cheap Daddy has such an indifferent tone is that he has no confidence in himself.

If it weren't for the fact that he was involved in the battle to escort Dr. Z, Weiss would certainly not mind taking the long view, but that unforgettable memory, especially the deaths of Luke, Big Tall and others, gave him a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. On the way back, he decided to develop a high-performance sniper rifle for the soldiers of the Ulster Free Federal Army, so winning the military sniper rifle bid was no longer just a matter of fighting for the interests of the family.

"Let José send all the firearm drawings we have to my room! I want to think about it in the evening. Weissdau.

The old lord stared at his face in amazement, and looked at him for five or six seconds, making sure that he was serious, and then he agreed.

Weiss said: "Don't be so surprised, I said, I am no longer the same person I used to be." ”

The old lord smiled, and relief overshadowed the bitterness.

At the end, the two of them rode together in a carriage and returned to the castle by the main road. Passing through the town, pedestrians stopped along the road, men took off their hats, women bowed their heads, and even children stood quietly.

Back at the castle, the kitchen cooked a rather sumptuous dinner, the taste of the steak and soup was indeed better than the "No. 1 set" of the "men's restaurant", and the rich and sweet tea was the first set meal with tea, but the huge dining room was deserted, and there were only the lords and couples, little Lori and Weiss at the large table that could seat twenty people, and there was no lively atmosphere in the "men's restaurant" at all. During the meal, the old lord always maintained a dignified gentlemanly attitude, and the "Q version of Guo Biting" had no sullen expression, except that the Duchess kept signaling Weiss to eat and drink more with a motherly smile.

A dinner with a strange atmosphere, from the pre-dinner aperitif to the after-dinner dessert, lasted for almost an hour, and it was easy to end, and the little Lori Fei also left the restaurant, Weiss wanted to talk to her, but was intercepted by the cheap mother.

"Long Bao, come with me for a walk in the garden!"

Weiss hesitated: "Uh...... All right! ”

The old lord did not seem to intend to disappear with them for a walk, but dropped a sentence: "I asked José to put the drawings in order, and they will be placed in your room by this time." ”

Weiss hurriedly responded, "Okay, I'll go back to the room in a while." ”

The Duchess complained to the old lord: "Long Bao has just returned, he should be allowed to rest for a few days, why are you in a hurry to let him work?" ”

The old lord glanced at her, and did not explain anything, but took out a delicate little porcelain vase and poured a small black powdery object from the ground, which he sucked into his nose very skillfully.

Isn't that snuff?

Weiss vaguely remembered that snuff was made by fermenting tobacco powder. If there is snuff, there should be tobacco leaves, but why haven't I seen anyone smoking these days?

He couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Let's go, Dragon Treasure!"

The cheap old mother affectionately grabbed his arm and led him out of the dining room, through the porch, and into the backyard. Night had just fallen, and the wind blowing from the lake was already chilling, and the beige full moon was slowly rising in the sky.

"Time flies so fast, you'll have to report back to the military academy in a few days." The tone of the cheap mother is both reluctant and worried.

Weiss said: "Because of the urgency of time, I asked Jose to send the drawings of the construction of the gun to my room, and I am going to study it well in the evening, and do what I can for us to develop a new sniper rifle, I hope it is still too late." ”

Seeing that her son took the initiative to devote herself to the study of firearms, the cheap mother was not as happy as the old lord: "In fact, everyone has their own ambitions, you have been interested in flying since you were a child, and you can't get the star stone, so you will make a glider with Luke and them, if it weren't for that fall into the river and was forcibly grounded by your father for a few months, maybe you have become an excellent flying ship crew, and you will become a flying battleship commander in a few years, isn't it better than staying in a secret cabin by the river for the rest of your life?" ”

Through these words, Weiss heard a mother's understanding and tolerance for "unscrupulous children". Thinking of his biological parents, and thinking that he might never have the opportunity to fulfill his filial piety again, Weiss let out a long breath: "Thank you, Mother!" ”

His cheap old mother turned her head, looked at his face very seriously, and then said, "You have really changed this time, and I almost can't recognize you." ”

Weiss raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a calm smile: "Yes, people will grow up one day." ”

Although the cheap mother laughed along, the worry in her eyes was not completely resolved. The two walked forward slowly, and when they were about to reach the lake, she began to speak, speaking at a rate from slow to fast and from low to high: "You entered the Bathton Military Academy, although it is part of the deal with the Grumman Group, but there is no need to feel inferior because of this, and feel inferior everywhere, after all, the admission of the Bathton Military Academy is never absolutely fair. The first year of schoolwork is not satisfactory, not because you are not good, but most of them have received basic training - either from the junior military academy or served in the army, you have no foundation in this area, and you are not eliminated in the first year, which proves that you are gifted and capable, and in time, you will definitely be able to catch up with them, or even surpass them! ”

Weiss couldn't help frowning, without his previous memories, wouldn't he have to start all over again when he returned to the military academy? Well, this seems a bit disturbing!
