Well, it's not easy

When you go out, take a look at the sky and write a thought report to all book friends.

Nearly two million words have been written in "Chaoqing", and among them, the most difficult to write is the paragraph of the Tianjin military parade.

There are two main difficulties;

One is the lack of information.

One is the transformation of the main characters. This transformation must be natural, credible, and logically self-consistent, and cannot rely solely on the protagonist's spirit to brainwash others.

Let's start with the lack of information.

There is almost no material to be found about the military parades of the European armies in the mid-sixties of the nineteenth century, and Guan San can only be transported from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and then elaborated to fit the historical details of the time. Basically, it is equivalent to creating a whole new parade system. This process, to tell the truth, is very dead brain cells.

Compared to war, military parades are really much harder to write.

There is also the issue of warships.

The lion found that there is a lot of information about the sail battleship and the steam ironclad, but there is very little information about the steam sail hybrid ship in between. This is probably because the steam sail power ship is only the transition from a sail battleship to a steam ironclad ship, and there are not too many people interested, and it seems that there is no pure sail or pure steam as "feeling"; In addition, this period did not last very long, and the information left behind was not so detailed.

However, Guan San has passed through the era of steam sail hybrid; The "Champion" is one of the most important props in the book, and it cannot be left unwritten.

If you write about warships, you can't move them from the 20th or 21st century, otherwise it won't be a historical novel, but a science fiction novel.

"Champion" is based on the British warrior-level "Warrior" and "Black Prince" as a template, and every detail of the "Champion" seen by book friends is based on its roots, and none of it is made up by lions; In some places, book lovers may pass by at a glance, but the lion does not dare to be sloppy, let alone make things up.

For example, the bow guns on the upper deck of the Champion, for example, were mentioned in Chapter 136, the 110-pounder Armstrong breech-loading rifled gun, "less than forty meters from the forward bridge." This number jù, which is not found in any data, is calculated by the lion after comparing a large number of data and pictures, and the lion is confident that compared with the real "Warrior", the error is within one or two meters.

Just to get this number jù, it took the lion nearly an hour.

The lion is a little proud: the most difficult to write about the parade is still put in enough details, and the whole shelf is roughly supported.

It's just that there may be too many details, so that some book friends finally couldn't help it and began to accuse the lion of "water".

Ahem, this, I'm sorry, the lion does a self-examination first.

As for the transformation of the royal sister, whether it meets the standard of "natural, credible, and logically self-consistent", it is not up to the lion to say it himself, so let's ask the book friends to give her an evaluation.

Whether Guan San can successfully transform the royal sister is a very important thing for himself and for China's future. After all, at that point in time, this woman held the highest power in the country, and whether the third thing was twice the result with half the effort or twice the result with half the effort, and this woman's attitude had a great relationship.
