When she got up in the morning, Xinyue served Ling Yu to change her clothes with a red face, although Ling Yu didn't do anything to her last night, but out of the shyness of the woman, Xinyue still blushed like a fire, but she still served Ling Yu very quickly to clean up.

After breakfast, Ling Yu was about to go out to the Academy of Sciences, due to the arrival of Xiyi, Ling Yu felt a great sense of crisis, he planned to speed up the manufacture of artillery, and distribute the army as soon as possible.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he met the eunuch who came to inform Ling Yu of the wedding date, or an old acquaintance Wang Xing.

"Lord Ling, the slave is so polite, I have to go out so early, Lord Ling is really exhausted." When Wang Xing saw Ling Yu coming out, he greeted him and said with a smile.

"What wind blew the prince here? Don't know what's going on? Seeing this, Ling Yu also greeted him with a smile.

"That's the case, Your Majesty has received a note from Qin Tianjian yesterday, the wedding date between you and Princess Yangcheng is set on the first day of the first month of the 16th year of Chongwen, there is probably more than a month to go, Your Majesty asked me to inform the lord, send someone to contact the Ministry of Rites, and cooperate with them to organize the wedding, and the slave and maid are here to congratulate the lord on giving birth to a noble son." Wang Xing said with a smile.

Ling Yu was also overjoyed when he heard that the wedding date was certain, and finally wanted to marry Zhou Ling back home, he immediately found Fu Bo and asked him to be responsible for contacting the Ministry of Rites to arrange the wedding, and then sealed a red envelope of 100 silver coins and gave it to Wang Xing, now he is rich, and 100 silver coins are not very much in his eyes.

However, for Wang Xing, this can be regarded as a huge amount of money, took the red envelope, and smiled: "Thank you Lord for the reward, the slave maid still needs to go to the Qi Palace, notify Her Royal Highness the Princess, this will not be delayed, if the Lord will have a useful place in the future, just give the order." ”

"In this way, there will be no princess left, so please let the prince be." Ling Yu smiled and arched his hand, and then watched Wang Xing board the carriage and leave.

"Husband, the concubine will also cooperate with Hao Fubo to arrange the affairs of the house, and the husband doesn't have to worry about it." Xinyue, who followed behind, was very happy, and the wedding date also showed that the candle night in her cave room was approaching.

"Hehe, in this way, I'll trouble you, I still have a lot of things recently, but if I need to cooperate, I will try to find time." Ling Yu said happily.

"Young master, don't worry too much, the old slave and the second lady will handle it at this time." Fu Bodao, now that Ling Yu has the princess as his wife, Xinyue naturally became the second lady, for this title, Xinyue not only didn't care at all, but also secretly rejoiced in her heart, so that the title was decided.

"Okay, then I'll go first, and you'll take care of the rest." After that, he left a platoon of soldiers to guard Ling Mansion and drove away.

"Director Yang, Director Wu, how did you do the things you explained a few days ago?" Ling Yu looked at Yang Yuan and Wu Yongdao in front of him, and as soon as he arrived at the Academy of Sciences, Ling Yu summoned them.

"Sir, after you explained yesterday, the two of us took more than 500 craftsmen to try it out many times, but it was not ideal, we think that I am afraid that the quality of wrought iron will not be able to withstand the energy of the runes." Wu Yong said, Yang Yuan's current level is not as good as Wu Yong, so let Wu Yong report.

"Well, I'll take a look at it later, and I'll talk about it when I'm done." A hint of gloom flashed in Ling Yu's eyes, he speculated that the West should already have artillery, since the West can do it, he can naturally do it, and he can do it better, it seems that the people of the Academy of Sciences are not well qualified for the trial production of a new weapon without his leadership, and they must strengthen training.

Soon, the two led Ling Yu to the workshop, Ling Yu frowned and looked at the few cannon barrels stacked on the ground, and carefully inspected them, the process was not said, and it was all done according to Ling Yu's design requirements, but why did there be a problem.

"Attach these to the spirit core and test them for me." Ling Yu frowned.

The craftsmen quickly installed a cannon according to the drawings, and then dragged it to the test site, the test site is the place where the workshop tested the musket, and everyone put a large target 2 kilometers in front of them for the test firing of the artillery, it seems that they have done the test before.

"Sir, I tried twice yesterday, but the energy was too strong and the cannon barrel turned into flying ash, and I didn't dare to change the design of the sir, so please decide it yourself." After Wu Yong finished speaking, he commanded the people to fire the first shot.

I saw that the spiritual energy of the cannon body flowed, and then with a "boom", the shell went out, and the accuracy was good, and it hit the target, and it was torn apart, but the cannon was also scrapped.

"That's the case, like the damage caused by the extreme psionic energy to the spirit guide." Wu Yong pointed to the discarded cannon and said.

Ling Yu frowned, didn't speak, and asked Xiao Ling in his consciousness: "Xiao Ling, what is the reason for this, according to our design, such a thing should not happen." ”

"Master, it seems to be a problem with the explosive rune, it was originally designed for the rifle, designed to approximate the energy of the gunpowder explosion, and when it is replaced by the cannon, there seems to be a bit of a problem, just to amplify the energy output of the explosive rune, and there is no special optimization for the artillery, it is not a material problem, of course, if you use fine iron as a material, you can also withstand this energy, but it is a bit wasteful, master, this is my negligence, I will immediately try to modify the explosive rune again for the artillery." Xiao Ling thought for a while.

After more than two hours, Xiao Ling finally handed over the modified explosive rune for the cannon to Ling Yu, and Ling Yu immediately summoned the spirit master to make a new spirit core on the spot, and while doing it, he consciously taught them some knowledge, intending to train them into a team capable of research and development.

Soon, the new spirit core was made, Ling Yu asked the craftsman to install the new spirit core on the cannon, and then test firing again, this time it did not destroy the artillery, but the power did not seem to be ideal, so he asked Xiao Ling to modify it again. Ambiguous 43

Although Xiao Ling is a supercomputer, but there is no real data to support it, her calculations cannot be completely accurate, and the spirit energy is not any kind of energy in the data stored by Xiao Ling, and the previous design was only carried out by analogy.

Fortunately, there was no problem, this time the artillery exposed the problem, which reminded Ling Yu that spiritual energy was different from the various energies of his previous life after all, and the accumulation of spiritual energy materials was not enough, so he had to find time to go to the academy's library to recharge.

After a long period of testing and modification, at about 7 o'clock in the evening, the artillery was successfully test-fired, and the two barrels that were not many were also tossed by the test firing, and Ling Yu successfully assembled two psionic guns that could be used in actual combat.

The craftsmen and spirit masters who followed Ling Yu, after such a long time of tossing and learning, felt that they seemed to have a deeper understanding of psionic technology, which was also where Ling Yu was pleased, even if psionic technology had just begun to develop, but the excellent learning ability of the Chinese people also made him very pleased, and more and more people would participate in the research of psionic technology in the future.

"I still have to have a lord here, I'm really stupid, I really want to die of myself." Yang Yuan said self-deprecatingly.

"Director Yang, don't be presumptuous, psionic technology is a new discipline, but also a new thing, you can learn so fast, it's already good, just work harder in the future, I also left a lot of books in the Academy of Sciences, you read more, those are the basics." Ling Yudao said that after the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, he compiled some books on basic knowledge and put them in the Academy for everyone to read.

"Yes, sir, we'll work harder." Wu Yong patted his chest and said, he is the fastest among these people, and his current level is also the highest, Ling Yu will be him, which also solves a lot of trivial problems for Ling Yu.

Ordered people to put away the psionic artillery, and then went to the camp of the new army to take a look, and summoned Lin Qing, Luo Quan, Xie Jun and other main officers of the two divisions of the New Guards Army, and listened to their reports on the recent situation, after all, they have only been here for a day, and they are still in the run-in period, but most of the soldiers of the New Guards Army are veterans, who are already elite and obedient, so that the training work is quite smooth, Ling Yu encouraged them a few words, and then asked them to go back to their own affairs, and he took his own guards to the guard company.

Ling Yu's guard company is still stationed in the barracks of the Academy of Sciences, and he usually rotates a group of people to follow him to escort him every day, and today he put a platoon to guard at home, so he plans to take another platoon from the guard company, as for the platoon of Ling Mansion's guards, it is still retained, and it is rotated on a regular basis.

"Old fish, you're finally here, I'm almost bored to death, and I have nothing to do except train." As soon as Ling Yu entered Li Shu's barracks, he heard Li Shu complain.

"Mouse, soldiers just have to endure loneliness, you didn't see you like this when you trained with them before, it's only been a day, you're out like this?" Ling Yu teased.

Since Li Shu was the chief officer of the guard company, and this was a newly formed unit, he naturally couldn't let Li Shu stay away, so he put Li Shu in the camp and didn't let him lead the team to protect him.

"Old fish, you are ruthless, what about being a personal guard, shouldn't the personal guard follow you?" Li Shu continued to complain, although he followed the training at that time, he did not belong to the army establishment, he was relatively free, and he could often run around to see, but now he is a soldier and has military discipline restrictions, so he is not used to it.

"Okay, okay, just started to reorganize the army, this is no way, discipline is discipline, and ah, you and the soldiers under your command should be more familiar with each other, after a while, I will let you lead the team to follow me." Ling Yu said with a smile.

"Okay, what you said, you can rest assured, I will train my brothers well, and I will make sure I don't give you diarrhea." Li Shu returned to the appearance of the hippie smiling face.

Ling Yu shook his head and smiled, then encouraged Li Shu a few more words, then said goodbye to everyone, and left with the second row and the third row that had just been pulled out.

On the other side, Guangzhou Mansion, Guangzhou Port, more than a dozen huge wooden sailing ships are quietly docked in the port, it is now more than 8 o'clock in the evening, a white man is standing in front of the window with a goblet in the captain's cabin of his flagship and quietly tasting the red wine brought from Europe, he is a nobleman of the British Empire, Lord Trafigura, and he is the one who wants to meet the emperor this time.

There was a knock on the door, and Teucer came back to his senses and said, "Please come in." ”

A tall white man came in from outside, perhaps after a long voyage at sea, his skin was slightly darker, and his beard set off him a little fiercely, and Teucer smiled and said, "Captain Arudo, is there anything wrong with this late hour?" ”

"Your Excellency, the people from the Great Zhou side have sent a reply, their emperor has agreed to your entry into Beijing, but you are only allowed to take a ship to Songjiang Mansion ashore and go to Beijing by land." Captain Arudo said, he was the captain of the British East India Company, he had been here in the Far East for several years, and he was familiar with the situation here.

"Hehe, these Chinese people are really cautious, I came with the goodwill of Her Majesty, I just want to expand trade with them, do they think I am coming to war? But speaking of which, there is really nothing in the waters of the Great Zhou Empire that can threaten the fleet of the British Empire. Lord Track said with a smile and pride in his tone.

The British Empire of the world has now come to Asia and has begun to colonize India, and the East India Company is their colonial institution in Asia.

"Yes, my lordship, at sea, those Chinese have no strength at all, and our battleship the Queen can single-handedly take on all their current water power." Arudo said easily and confidently, this battleship has a displacement of 1,000 tons, 60 magic guns on one side, powered by sails, and can use magic (spirit runes) to generate wind power to drive the battleship when necessary, which is also the reason for their confidence, there is indeed no comparable sea power in East Asia.

"Then let's drive the Queen to Songjiang Mansion tomorrow, our old friend is also there." Teucer said with a smile, Teucer has also traded with Da Zhou many times, and this time he was also commissioned by the country, in the East India Company, in addition to the governor and some generals, he has a knighthood, and he has done business with Da Zhou, so he was sent to meet the emperor.

Although they look down on the sea power of the Great Zhou, they still dare not take it lightly on land, after all, their land power in India is not strong, and they have to suppress the localities, and at present, they do not have the ability to pose a threat to the Great Zhou on land, not to mention, they will come here, they are all people who value commercial interests very much, as long as they can make money, what kind of war will they fight.
