Chapter 22: The First Encounter
Zhou Shaobin saw that his father asked, so he didn't say anything else, and explained: "Father Rongqi, this thing is a psionic weapon, called a psionic pistol, driven by a spirit crystal, the bullet fired can be comparable to the power of a third-level half-spirit rune, and it can easily penetrate the armor with a third-level ice armor rune at a distance of 50 meters. ”
"Is that true?" Zhou Zhengxiong was taken aback, and then ecstatic, Zhou Shaobin definitely didn't dare to deceive him, this weapon is so powerful, wouldn't it be invincible if he equipped the army, and he didn't need to cultivate to use it, wouldn't this make it easier for him to organize the army.
"Father, how dare you deceive your sons, just go to the school and try it." Zhou Shaobin smiled lightly, just kidding, he had fired hundreds of bullets just now, and his power had not been attenuated, which showed the power of psionic technology.
Zhou Zhengxiong didn't say much, and soon came to the school field of the Guards camp with Zhou Shaobin, and ordered someone to hang a third-level ice shield talisman armor on the stake according to Zhou Shaobin's instructions, and then loaded the bullet according to Zhou Shaobin's guidance, aimed at the armor, pulled the trigger, and heard a crisp gunshot of "pop".
I saw that there was an extra hole in the armor, and the bullet was also deep in the stake, and after checking it, Zhou Zhengxiong laughed out loud, laughing very happily.
As the emperor, of course he knows what this weapon means, if there is an army with such weapons and equipment, it is definitely a god blocking and killing gods and Buddhas, just like Zhou Shaobin said before, invincible and overwhelming.
"Bin'er, such an artifact was designed and manufactured by Ling Yu?" Zhou Zhengxiong confirmed again.
"Yes, father, Brother Ling said that this pistol is only for self-defense, if it is used by the army, it has to be used to make another rifle, according to him, if the rifle is equipped with the army, the cavalry will not take any advantage in front of the rifle." Zhou Shaobin replied honestly.
"Well, that's true, if there are more people and more guns, the cavalry may not necessarily be able to rush over." Zhou Zhengxiong imagined the battle scene and said.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Ling Yu to have such talent, Bin'er, how many guns do you have." Zhou Zhengxiong said with a smile, he was very happy at the moment, this is a new way to organize the army, and he doesn't have to care too much about the road to the army.
"Uh, this, father, this is also what we were ambushed yesterday, Brother Ling came up with it, and only made two, and he also told his sons that weapons are very sensitive to the imperial court, and our chamber of commerce will not make them, these two are also used only for our self-defense, and he also asked his sons not to show them off." Zhou Shaobin said.
"Haha, this kid still seems to be very sensible, it's okay, I'll summon him into the palace in a while and give him a proper name." Zhou Zhengxiong was in a better mood, he didn't expect his old friend's disciple to be so sensible, which saved him a lot of thought, he wanted him to study in the academy for a while, but now it seems that he can't wait.
"Ah, father, it's not very good, I'm here too, he doesn't know my identity yet, this ......" Zhou Shaobin said hurriedly.
"Hehe, it's okay, you are friends in cloth, and now is also the time to test your friendship." Zhou Zhengxiong didn't care, and then ordered someone to summon Ling Yu into the palace.
Ling Yu was cultivating when he vaguely heard someone knocking on the door outside, so he took his work and walked out, seeing Yun'er pacing anxiously, he asked, "Yun'er, what's wrong, what's going on?" ”
"Ah, Childe, you finally came out, someone came from the palace just now, saying that His Majesty was going to summon Childe, and the slave maid called Childe here for a while." Yun'er said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty summoned me, what is the matter?" Ling Yu asked unhurriedly, he was not so afraid of imperial power.
"Ah, the slave doesn't know either, the father-in-law from the palace is still in the front hall, you should go and have a look." Yun'er is very anxious, Ling Yu is not afraid does not mean that Yun'er is not afraid.
Ling Yu didn't say much, and when he walked to the front hall, he saw a white and beardless eunuch who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and the eunuch hurriedly walked over when he saw Ling Yu appearing and said, "You are Ling Gongzi, quickly enter the palace with the slave maid, Your Majesty will summon you." The eunuch didn't talk nonsense, and pulled Ling Yu away.
"This ...... What is the name of this father-in-law, I don't know what His Majesty summoned me? Ling Yu asked as he walked, and the two silver coins in his hand were quietly stuffed into the eunuch's hand.
"The slave and the maid are okay, but the slave and the maid don't know why, only that after His Royal Highness King Qi entered the palace today, His Majesty was suddenly very happy, and then issued an order to summon you." When Wang Xing saw the silver coin, his attitude was much better, and he explained to Ling Yu.
"In this way, it will be annoying to the prince." Ling Yu didn't ask any more, he couldn't ask anything if he asked, let's take a step at a time, anyway, he didn't break the law, and he was a special victim yesterday.
The imperial city is also very vast, Ling Yu felt dizzy, followed Wang Xing, walked for more than half an hour, and arrived at the destination, the imperial study, Wang Xing went up to inform Ling Yu to bring it, Ling Yu was bored and stood at the foot of the steps at the door of the imperial study and waited, and not long after, he heard the voice of Xuan Lingyu's audience.
Ling Yu straightened his clothes a little and walked in.
"Grass people Ling Yu to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." As soon as Ling Yu entered, he bowed to the end and bowed, the Great Zhou had already abolished the kneeling salute, except for large-scale memorials, it was common for the emperor to kneel and salute when he saw officials, and he generally bowed and saluted, which made Ling Yu feel very humane.
"Excuse me, raise your head and let me see." Zhou Zhengxiong's gentle voice came, making Ling Yu feel like an elder was talking to him rather than facing the emperor.
Ling Yu raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhengxiong, Zhou Zhengxiong also looked at him, Ling Yu still had a very good impression of Zhou Zhengxiong, handsome, courteous, and talented.
Ling Yu was about to open his mouth to ask what the emperor meant, when he glanced at Zhou Shaobin who was standing on the side, he was stunned for a moment and then said, "You ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Shaobin: "It's not me, ah, it's me." Zhou Shaobin felt a little embarrassed that he had deceived Ling Yu, and became incoherent.
"Hehe, this is my son, Zhou Shaobin, King of Qi, you should have known each other for a long time." Zhou Zhengxiong relieved his son.
"Ah, burnt cakes, you've lied to me for so long." Ling Yu complained to Zhou Shaobin, completely forgetting that the emperor's father was on the side, and used the nickname without hesitation.
"Aha, Brother Ling, don't blame, I didn't mean it." Zhou Shaobin also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Ling Yu still called him a nickname.
Zhou Zhengxiong looked at the two little brothers with interest, and did not correct Ling Yu, he did not want Ling Yu to know Zhou Shaobin's identity and affect the friendship between them.
"Let's not talk about this for now, my father came to you to ask you to talk about psionic weapons." Zhou Shaobin explained.
"Bin'er is right, I have tried the psionic pistol you made, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine weapon, so I summoned you to the palace to ask, so let's talk to me." After Zhou Zhengxiong finished speaking, he made a look of deafness.
"Okay, Your Majesty, this psionic pistol is ......" Ling Yu listened, and respectfully began to give Zhou Zhengxiong a detailed introduction to the principle of the psionic pistol rifle, as well as the power and use of the method and the concept of the army, of course, the key few self-created runes just skimmed and did not explain in detail.
Zhou Zhengxiong, who listened to it, sometimes applauded loudly, sometimes pursed his lips and pondered, these concepts were unheard of in his life, but as an emperor, he knew how great the benefits that Ling Yu said would be for the Great Zhou.
The explanation was almost complete, Ling Yu stopped, took a sip of the tea brought by the eunuch just now, and then fell silent, waiting for Zhou Zhengxiong to ask questions.
"Ling Aiqing, I probably understand what you said, but this psionic technology is really heavy, right?" Zhou Zhengxiong thought for a while and asked, he didn't notice that he had already begun to call Ling Aiqing, but he also planned to give Ling Yu an official knighthood.
"Your Majesty, there is a saying that science and technology is the primary productive force, our ancestors still used wooden sticks and stones to hunt at the beginning, and used leaves to wear clothes, and gradually developed bronze and cloth, and bronze developed to the peak in the pre-Qin period, and slowly we have silk and satin, sharp weapons, and writing paper, which are all created by the technology developed step by step, and the firearms I designed are also a kind of science and technology, combined with psionic energy, it is psionic technology." Ling Yu briefly answered Zhou Zhengxiong's question, and then told Zhou Zhengxiong some of his ideas and understanding of psionic technology.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces, that's a good point. Ling Aiqing is talented, haha, I have such a talent in Da Zhou, why worry about the world is not quiet. Zhou Zhengxiong thought about it carefully, and then he thought deeply about this sentence.
Zhou Shaobin couldn't say a word on the side, just looked at Ling Yu in a daze, all kinds of statements simply subverted his cognition, although he didn't know it for a long time, but he also knew that Ling Yu was talented, but he didn't expect to have such a talent.
"Ling Aiqing, I have appointed you as Lingwu Bo, opened the Spiritual Energy Academy, handed over the craftsman supervisor and the ordnance supervisor to you, you are in charge of building weapons for me, and the Guards will allocate manpower for you to form a new army, train according to your words, well, give you 500 people, as for the rank of the Academy of Sciences, it will be the fifth grade." Zhou Zhengxiong said with a spring breeze on his face.
Although it is only a dictation now, it will be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow and then signed by the cabinet to form an official decree, but this matter will not be taken seriously, so there is no problem in passing, but the title will be a little troublesome, but Zhou Zhengxiong is also confident that he will forcibly pass it, and he has been on the throne for many years, and this control is still there.
Although Ling Yu didn't want to be an official, but now that the emperor has personally sealed it, plus Zhou Shaobin is the prince, and he is the only prince, he will definitely be the emperor in the future, and in order to help his friends, he will gladly accept it.
"Your Majesty, Wechen Xie." Ling Yu bowed respectfully.
"Well, excuse me, Bin'er, you also go to assist Ling Aiqing, you can do this together." Zhou Zhengxiong glanced at Ling Yu, and then said to Zhou Shaobin.
"It's the father, and the son obeys the order." Zhou Shaobin also said respectfully.
After all, it is such a big killer, and it is more reassuring to let his son participate, of course, this is not that the emperor does not trust Ling Yu, Ling Yu is a disciple of his old friend, and there is no problem with trust, but as an emperor, this is his habit, not to mention that Ling Yu does not feel that there is anything wrong, he thinks that it is better to let Zhou Shaobin be together, someone to share it.
