When God closes a door for you, he will surely open a window for you. Although the dream of manufacturing advanced cannons has been shattered for the time being, Sinampei still has a lot of technological achievements in his hands that can be used in this era. To be sure, many new technologies are not born out of the hard work of the inventor, but by a spark of inspiration that sparks at some point, so that many of the technologies can be used under worse conditions, and all the person concerned needs to do is pierce a layer of window paper.

Just like the invention of the 19th century, the invention of the iron mold cannon, its origin was not in the European powers that were already in the industrial age, but was born in a county in the Qing Dynasty - Gong Zhenlin, and the Qing Dynasty craftsmen who had not received modern scientific education could also use this craft freely.

If we talk about iron mold casting for civilian utensils, it began in the Warring States period as far back as the Warring States period, although pig iron was still used at that time.

The experience of this great power has given Si Nanpei enough confidence, isn't it just a cannon casting, Si Nanpei is quite confident, under the same conditions, with the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by countless gods on the earth for thousands of years, he will be better than everyone here - in fact, just like the iron mold cannon casting, his products are also better than the modern scholars who are still toddlers.

In order to cope with the current war situation, Sinampei and the students worked overtime, and soon came up with results that could be seen.

In these days, Sirmelia has openly lived in Theresa's room, basically how late Sinampei is busy, and how late the two little girls are also making trouble, but it makes Sinampei look dry, plus envy, jealousy and hatred - it's just that the sentence, it is more tragic to see and touch than not to see, which is too unfriendly to Sinampei, a young man who is still in a restless period.

But Theresa is still quite conscientious, in order to take care of the hard-working Sinampei, she specially instructed Carla to take care of Sinampei's daily life, but along with this arrangement, there was also a sentence said in front of Sinampei: "If he has any bad behavior towards you, you can rest assured that you can beat him boldly, and Your Majesty and I will not mind." ”

Kara nodded silently, which made Sinan Pei's chrysanthemum tighten, and subconsciously shrank back - sometimes, he would forget that Jì was on call, and the maid girl who didn't have a high sense of storage but was extremely cute was still a fierce person who could fight, and the experience of Angus's goods was still in front of him, and Sinan Pei, who was not a pervert, was not prepared to joke about his life.

As a woman who was able to enter the University of Parry to teach, Shirmelia also helped Sinampei a lot during this time, and there was a guy who played alchemy all day to answer his questions, and he quickly understood the meaning of some professional terms.

But...... Although the results came out, the next problem occurred during large-scale manufacturing.

Heavy snow closed the roads, and the stock of bronze and steel in the city of Pali was not enough.

When Sinampei was on the shooting range, he proudly showed King Henry the nine-pound "Theresa Cannon" he had trial-made, and the king frowned: "Mr. Si, you are great, really very good." I never thought that you would bring me such a huge surprise before the end of this winter - I did not expect to see results this winter, so I regret to tell you that the materials stored in my warehouse can only be used to cast twenty six-pounder cannons, and this is still if you use iron molds to cast cannons and save bronze materials. ”

As for the name of the cannon...... That's right, this is deliberately named by the brazen Sinan Pei in order to please his hostess, although Si Nanpei admits that he is not a flattering villain, but if he can make his life more comfortable, he doesn't mind doing so. Moreover, in order to maintain his independence in front of the king, Sinampei also deliberately declared that he was a vassal of Theresa. The meaning is obvious, I am a vassal of your vassal, but I am not your vassal -- this medieval theory is still slightly different from the concept of "the shore of the land, it is not a prince's minister" of the Chinese Celestial Empire. Although in the eyes of people in this era, Si Nanpei has clearly written the words "little white face" and "Shechen" on his face, but Si Nanpei, who came from the earth in the 21st century, does not have this consciousness.

"Uh...... It's only enough for twenty gates?" Hearing the king's words, Sinan Pei touched his nose with a wry smile, do you want to do this! Is it possible to make such an oolong in military affairs?! Twenty gates, this number is quite embarrassing, it is too little to fight a large-scale battle, and there are too many to use to watch the family nursing home, if you really want to do it with the Caledonians, it will not be of great use at all.

After thinking for a while, Sinan Pei suggested to the king: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, if you make twenty six-pounder cannons, it is better to extract materials and cast some smaller three-pounder cannons, supplemented by two nine-pounder cannons. ”

"How so?" asked the king, raising an eyebrow.

"As far as I know, the Caledonians used mostly three-pounder cannons in the field, and a few specially made cannons when attacking the forts. Sinan Pei inexplicably remembered the scene of explaining the product to customers when he was on the earth, his heart was relieved, and he suddenly wanted to laugh, straightening the muscles of his face, he couldn't help but smile and state his opinion, "Your Majesty, although the six-pounder cannon has a much longer range than the three-pounder cannon, and the power is also great, but the traffic situation in the Capet Kingdom is really not excellent in my opinion, coupled with the humid climate here, I think the maneuverability of the six-pounder gun is not excellent - you have found this in your usual practice." ”

The king was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, every time I fight, I have to draw a lot of horses to transport these big guys, and even then they still slow down the march of the whole team, which is a headache for me. ”

"So I'm building yì you to cast more three-pounder cannons. Sinampei patted his prototype, "My cannon will definitely blow up the same caliber of the Caledonian cannon, and I can't beat them anymore! Moreover, if you use a three-pounder cannon, I can help you build a batch of new gun carriages." It seems to me that the old gun carriage, which can only be used directly, is something that only barbarians can use...... Of course, I'm not mocking you. ”

"No, you're right. The king shook his head, "Compared to what you have shown, the weapons currently in the armies of Eugenia are indeed no different from those of the barbarians. Mr. Si, I am glad to have met you, and I hope that you will complete the transformation of my army from barbarians to civilized people. ”

Sinampei realized that he had said something wrong, but he smiled and answered the king's words - the appearance was no different from that of unsociable scholars.
