What a slap in the face!

Just blow a soap bubble and it bursts right away.

Qin Mu found that he couldn't brag. Last time, she bragged that she could make hundreds of motorcycles, but she was immediately tied up by Yu Liyan, and this time she said that she was given a brand new weapon, and the connecting rod was immediately broken.

Yu Liyan is simply his destined nemesis.

"What's going on?" Yu Liyan was furious. She wanted motorcycles, so she could organize the Iron Horse Legion immediately, not to mention sweeping the Jin Kingdom, at least she could block the Jin Kingdom's attack. This steam engine looks silly and black, and it is obviously not on the same level as the delicacy of a motorcycle.

Yu Liyan couldn't figure out how the motorcycle was made, and he had been trying to be as patient as possible to observe Qin Mu's practice. If he wants to play with mud, he will play with mud, if he wants to fill molten iron, he will pour molten iron, in short, I will support you in whatever you do, but you have to give me an explanation.

Now what kind of explanation is this, this wheel didn't turn a few times, and the connecting rod broke.

Even if Yu Liyan had never seen a steam engine, Qin Mu's iron rod was broken, and it couldn't be said to be good.

The pressure on the Liao State from the Jin State was not ordinarily great, and Yu Liyan was very anxious. She can't wait to get hundreds of iron horses today to save the Liao Kingdom from danger.

Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo, that is, Yu Liyan's father, is no less absurd than Song Huizong.

Zhao Ji likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and women and men, Yelu Yanxi is different from him, and Emperor Tianzuo likes hunting. This is like someone in later generations who are obsessed with fishing, Emperor Tianzuo has been almost crazy about the hobby of hunting, and every day he is either hunting or on the way to hunting, and national and family affairs are not taken seriously.

Now that the Liao Kingdom has lost its place in Kyoto, he still doesn't take it seriously and continues to go out of the city to hunt.

Emperor Tianzuo doesn't care about Liao, Yu Liyan does. If the Jin State defeats the Liao State, not to mention the people of the Liao State, it is their own fate that can be known without asking.

It's good to be a slave and a slave, but if you don't do it, you lose your life.

Yu Liyan didn't care much about losing her life, she was afraid of being a slave. The Liao State looked at the Jin Kingdom, just like the Great Song Dynasty looked at the Liao Kingdom, all barbarians, uncivilized natives, and livestock.

If he becomes a slave to cattle one day, Yu Liyan would not survive if he dies.

In order to avoid this tragic end, the princess of Liao is desperately trying to find a way all the time. But what can she, a seventeen-year-old girl, do, do but send an envoy to Bianliang for Da Liao to find out if the Song Dynasty has changed its mind.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji is still so weak, it seems that he didn't get the news of the fall of Shangjing at all, and he was honest when he was scared.

Qin Mu can be said to be Yu Liyan's lifesaver, otherwise she would not have disregarded the princess's face and the prestige of the Liao Kingdom, and directly tied up this man and ran away.

It was really she who saw the hope of Liao's turnaround in Qin Mu, and it can be said that Qin Mu was the savior of Liao. As long as he makes a few hundred iron horses.

But now half a horse has not been made, and it is impossible to make a waste machine.

This made Yu Liyan almost crazy.

Does he know how stressed he is? Do you know that the Liao State is in danger? Dare to play tricks with yourself!

Yu Liyan's joy and anger were all on his face, and Qin Mu immediately saw that something was wrong. The princess is going to run wild.

"Princess," Qin Mu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, this thing is only one step away from success." ”

"One step?" When Yu Liyan heard this, he relaxed a little. If it's really just one step away, it's not unacceptable.

"The power of this machine is too great, and this stick will break if it can't stand it."

"What then? Change to a thicker stick? ”

"That won't work. If you want to make it of steel, this iron can't do it. ”

Qin Mu knew that the reason for the breaking of the connecting rod was because the iron provided by the ordnance was too brittle. Crisp and forceless, a little force is over.

At present, the steam engine is running very well, except for the broken connecting rod, everything else has met his design goal, so as long as he changes the connecting rod made of steel, it is done.

Yu Liyan hurriedly instructed the craftsman to make the steel connecting rod.

It didn't take long for the craftsman to return. There is no connecting rod, only one sentence is brought: "The steward does not agree".

Yu Liyan was furious.

This ordnance institute is the largest ordnance institute in Liao, forty percent of the ordnance equipment in Liao country comes from here, the ordnance office is an important position, and the important positions in Liao are all held by the surname Xiao.

The upper echelons of the Liao State are relatively strange existences.

The emperor's full surname is Yelu, and the queen's full surname is Xiao. In fact, the Liao State was far less advanced than the system of the Great Song Dynasty, and their upper echelons were two major tribes, one Yelu and the other Xiao. Other surnames can't be in a high position at all, so it directly seals the possibility of the Liao State advancing.

Such an important position as the manager of the ordnance institute is naturally held by the surname Xiao. Xiao Chang, the nephew of Xiao Fengxian, the first civil official in the Liao State, did not agree to Yu Liyan's request.

Iron can be given to you, but steel must not be given to you.

It is very difficult to make steel in this time and space, the process is complicated, and the time is huge, Yu Liyan has to use so much steel to make a steel stick, Xiao Chang feels that she is purely full and has nothing to do.

You are a delicate princess of Da Liao, you don't stay in your own mansion, what do you do in the armory every day?

Xiao Chang felt that the armory was not surnamed Yelu, but Xiao. She came here to be an affront to her authority.

Don't look at Yu Liyan as a genuine princess of Da Liao, Xiao Chang is just Xiao Fengxian's nephew, and it seems that the status is far apart, but in fact, the status of the two is really not as evil as it seems to be.

Xiao Chang is Xiao Fengxian's own nephew, and Xiao Fengxian's younger sister, the eldest sister Xiao Duoli is lazy, and the second sister Xiao Guige, one is the queen of Emperor Tianzuo, the other is the concubine of Emperor Tianzuo, Xiao Fengxian is the uncle of the authentic country.

Xiao Chang's father Xiao Baoxian, Guan Xiao Fengxian is called the eldest brother, is the younger brother of Xiao Duoli and Xiao Guige, according to the people's name, Emperor Tianzuo is Xiao Chang's uncle, and Yu Liyan should also call him cousin.

With such an identity, Xiao Chang is naturally not afraid of Yu Liyan. Yu Liyan's biological mother, Xiao Sise, is only the concubine of Emperor Tianzuo, not the queen yet, and her status is not so high.

Yu Liyan was furious. She is working for the fate of the country, what's wrong with asking for a little steel? Why not give it to yourself?

Without saying anything, Yu Liyan and his men broke into Xiao Chang's office.

Xiao Chang sat still. What is there to be afraid of? This is the armory, your own territory, your own errands, how to use steel, you have to listen to your own, you are the oldest.

"Yu Liyan," Xiao Chang called his name directly, and even the princess didn't bother to call: "You're not in the palace, what are you doing here?" ”

He opened his mouth to accuse Yu Liyan. Yu Liyan is not married yet, so he should stay in the palace at this time.

"Xiao Chang," Yu Liyan said angrily, "I want to make a brand new weapon, why are you doing everything to obstruct it?" ”

"Weapons?" Xiao Chang rolled his eyes and asked, "But the will of the above?" ”

Do you have an emperor's decree? There is no holy will, but there must be a verbal will.

He knew that Yu Liyan didn't have any of these at all. Emperor Tianzuo was not in Zhongjing at all, and the armory had never been ordered to make any new weapons. Now that the situation in Liao is tense, Shangjing has been lost, and the war can be said to have burned to the doorstep, and the daily task of making armor and knives and arrows is overwhelming.

Yu Liyan pulled the craftsman to do a "qi machine" without authorization, which already made Xiao Chang very dissatisfied - this is delaying the normal work of the ordnance institute, but Yu Liyan is also a princess no matter how she says, and she gives her a face, but she didn't expect that she didn't know how to lift and wanted steel.

Steel, can it be played with casually for you? "Fighting for the machine", as soon as you hear it, it is unreliable. Armor, bows and crossbows are used to fight, if you can win only by "fighting for energy", there are so many people in Daliao, there are many more than Jin Guo, and ten people's "fighting for qi" can't beat Jin Guo alone?

"Fighting for energy" is useless, and you have to rely on steel to speak.

In addition to these obvious reasons, Xiao Chang also has some unspeakable reasons.

Yu Liyan's mother is Emperor Tianzuo's concubine Xiao Sese, she gave birth to a son early, Yelu Ao Lu Wei is the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo, Yu Liyan's brother, the king of Jin, and the prince of Liao.

Xiao Chang's aunt, Xiao Guige, also has a son, Ye Luding, who is the king of Qin.

In the eyes of the Xiao family, it must be the most beneficial for the family to let Xiao Guige's son be the emperor.

Yu Liyan wants to make a new weapon and build momentum for her brother in disguise, which Xiao Chang will never allow.

It's just that he can't say this, so he can only press the other party with a high-sounding truth.

However, Xiao Chang's big truth is indeed very reasonable. When the Liao State came to life and death, the wealth of the Xiao family was all in the prosperity of the Liao State, and they never wanted the Liao State to collapse. What kind of new weapons are you doing now, if you don't hurry up to make armor and knives and arrows, in Xiao Chang's opinion, it's pure nonsense.

Can the army wait for your new weapon? Besides, the new weapon you built is just a big iron wheel, isn't that a joke? Do you want to catch the people of the Jin country and tie them to the wheels and spin them in circles, and faint them to death?

If the Liao State has the ability to catch all the people of the Jin Kingdom, why bother tying them to the wheels, wouldn't it be good to kill them directly?

It's just taking off your pants and farting!

Xiao Chang was not worried about Yu Liyan's anger at all, it was useless to get angry with him.

"Yu Liyan, the demand for armor and weapons is too tight at the moment, and there is no extra steel for you to play with."

"Xiao Chang, do you know that we are ...... Da Liao" Yu Liyan couldn't go on when he said this. Qin Mu is still around, and the reality of the Liao Kingdom can't be known to an outsider.

She brought Qin Mu over because she wanted Qin Mu to explain to Xiao Chang the power of the new weapon.

Only one steam engine must not be able to fool Yu Liyan, in fact, Qin Mu designed a new set of weapons for the princess of Liao.

Steam crossbow!

This is the name of Qin Mu's new weapon. A crossbow powered by a steam engine.

The long-range weapons in this time and space include bed crossbows and trebuchets, both of which are sharp weapons for siege and defense, and both have a long range and great lethality. When Qin Mu escaped all the way to Jiangnan, the only thing he was worried about was the bed crossbow.

The Liao State also had bed crossbows and trebuchets. However, such equipment is also available in Jinguo.

The Liao State did not have a technical advantage over the Jin State.

The steam crossbow designed by Qin Mu was different. With the steam engine as the power, the continuity of power output was solved in the first place.

Whether it's a bed crossbow or a trebuchet, it depends on people to charge up. Manpower is poor, and you will be tired after working for a while.

And the steam engine is different, it lights a fire, there is coal and water, and it will not get tired for the rest of its life. Even if it is played for a day, the output of the steam engine will not be weakened in the slightest. This is well ahead of its contemporaries.

At the same time, the power of the steam engine is much more powerful than that of the centaur and the cow. With such power, even if it is a stone, the range and power of a crossbow arrow are much greater.

This is what Qin Mu can envision, except for ***, the most suitable weapon for this time and space.

He was going to arm the Liao State with a steam crossbow, resist the Jin State first, and then buy himself a period of time to build. Now Qin Mu has no heavy industry at all, any match factory and cigarette factory, all of which are virtual, and he can't do anything except make money.

Without the coal-steel complex, there is no future.

Yu Liyan knew Qin Mu's weapon, although a set of equipment for firing crossbow arrows in the back had not yet been made, but the steam engine had not been built. Even if it's stupid and thick, it's still a machine. With Yu Liyan's cleverness, he can naturally see how powerful it is.

But Qin Mu's stick was broken. If the stick is broken, the steam engine will not be able to output power, and the latter set will not be able to be realized at all, how can this not make Yu Liyan anxious.

Yu Liyan barely suppressed his anger and said, "Qin Mu, you tell Steward Xiao about it." ”

Qin Mu also wanted to see his steam crossbow as soon as possible. This was the first mechanical system he had designed in his two lifetimes, and it was of great significance to him.

In later generations, Qin Mu has always programmed, and everything is made by tapping the keyboard. This has a magical title in later generations - keyboard man.

In the Great Song Dynasty, Qin Mu didn't want to just be a keyboard warrior, he wanted to do something real.

So Qin Mu patiently explained the principle of the steam engine and the power of the steam crossbow to Xiao Chang in detail.

Xiao Chang pretended to listen patiently, but in fact, he was already tired of it.

What is the "fight for **", relying on gas is useful? It's better to let the Liao army fart and smoke the people of the Jin State to death.

He just gave Yu Liyan face, and his mind was not on Qin Mu's words.

It was easy to wait for Qin Mu to finish speaking, Xiao Chang shook his head and said, "Yu Liyan, say a thousand ways and ten thousand, without a holy decree, I will not give you steel." ”

Yu Liyan was furious. I have used 100,000 patience to beg you to do something, and you have not given me face so much.

She is also the princess of Liao, and she was immediately furious, and she was about to whip Xiao Chang when she waved her horsewhip.

Qin Mu saw that the big thing was not good, if this was a fight, not to mention what would happen to Yu Liyan in the future, he would have no good fruit to eat.

He is a prisoner in Liao, and how can a captive have human rights.

Xiao Chang, when he heard this surname, he knew that he was a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom, and he would definitely have to find a scene in the future, but he couldn't help the princess, and he couldn't help himself as a captive?

Qin Mu hurriedly pulled Yu Liyan.

But with his identity, a captive and a man, how could he touch the body of the princess of Liao? The difference in status between heaven and earth. He dares to pull Yu Liyan, even if Yu Liyan doesn't make mistakes, the person surnamed Xiao on the other side will also pick bones in the eggs, and he still can't fall well.

While he was hesitating, he heard someone say, "Slow down and listen to me." ”

Who could this be? Who dares to shout slow in front of Yu Liyan and Xiao Chang?
