Wei Yanfeng, Pingyangzi, Wang Xuanfan, and Qin Muyang looked at each other.

Ground effect aircraft, these five words, separated, they all know each other.

But when they are connected, they are confused.

They looked at the drawings drawn by Ji Tianci.

Boats don't look like boats!

Birds are not like birds!

It's just four dislikes!

It's weird.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Ji Tianci cleared his throat and explained slowly.

"A ground-effect aircraft is a kind of ship that can fly on the water......"

Ji Tianci said it freely, and explained the basic concept of the ground effect aircraft, Wei Yanfeng and the others were so-so, and probably figured out what the ground effect aircraft was.

Wei Yanfeng pondered for a while, and suddenly suddenly realized and exclaimed.

"Your Highness, according to you, isn't the speed of this ground-effect aircraft more than ten times that of ordinary ships?"

Wei Yanfeng made a rough calculation in his heart, and calculated a conclusion that shocked him.

Ten times?

How is this possible?

How can there be such a fast ship?

Even the birds fly, not so fast.

Ji Tianci saw Wei Yanfeng's face full of horror, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly complained in his heart.

It's terrible to be uneducated!

The ships used by the Wu State are generally the same as those of ancient China.

When the wind is good, the speed of the voyage is only six knots.

However, unlike ancient China, the Wu State had a martial artist, and the martial artist could use the true qi to transform the wind and propel the ship, and in a short time, it could burst out at a speed of thirty knots.

The speed of thirty knots is basically comparable to that of a modern destroyer.

Of course, such means are extremely expensive for warriors, and can only be used when saving lives.

As for the ground-effect aircraft designed by Ji Tianci, the speed can reach 300 knots, which is more than ten times the speed of a warrior using the true gas wind to propel the ship.

This is also the reason why Wei Yanfeng was stunned.

It's really, exaggerated!

"General Wei, if you think it can be realized, you will know if you can build it!"

"Xuan Fan, can you build a ground effect aircraft?" Ji Tianci turned his head to look at Wang Xuanfan.

Wang Xuanfan, as the secretary of the Shaofu, the task of building a ground-effect aircraft was of course handed over to Wang Xuanfan.

The ground effect aircraft is not a simple weapon like a cannon, as long as there are skilled craftsmen, you can find it.

Ground effect aircraft is a whole system engineering, which requires the cooperation of a large number of craftsmen.

It's not something that one or two people can do in a short period of time.

This is also the benefit of Jiuqing being his own person.

Wang Xuanfan, as Jiuqing, can mobilize the manpower and material resources of the entire Shaofu Temple to serve him.

As long as Shaofu Temple is fully operational, it will be able to produce a batch of ground-effect aircraft to catch up with the Taihu Lake bandits this time.

Wang Xuanfan looked at such a complex design drawing, and his scalp was numb.

However, under Ji Tianci's attentive gaze, Wang Xuanfan still stiffened his head and said respectfully.

"Your Highness will definitely complete His Highness's task!"

Wang Xuanfan still began to figure it out, and asked the craftsmen of Shaofu Temple to start working overtime, eating and sleeping in Shaofu Temple, and they were not allowed to go home without building a ground-effect aircraft.

After arranging the task, Wei Yanfeng and the four of them left Ji Tianci's study.

By this time, it was already late.

Ji Tianci took a sip of ginseng soup, returned to the dormitory, and found Aunt Qing.

This time Taihu Lake is too important to suppress bandits, Ji Tianci plans to go to the front line in person and go to Taihu Lake.

The matter of the personal bodyguard naturally fell on Aunt Qing's head.

Ji Tianci found Aunt Qing and said seriously.

"Aunt Qing, after a while, you will be troubled to accompany me to Taihu Lake."

"Hmm-"

Aunt Qing nodded a little respectfully.

The amplitude of walking is very small, like stepping on small broken steps, there is a kind of ladylike temperament, and the footwork posture is a little different from the past.

This trace of strangeness was seen by Ji Tianci, and Ji Tianci couldn't help but ask.

"Aunt Qing, are you okay?"

"I ...... I'm fine! ”

Aunt Qing's eyes flashed with a faint panic.

It's all to blame on the saint for letting her wear that kind of indecent and profane clothes.

She was very unaccustomed to it for a while.

The pajamas outside, rubbing against the delicate skin, gave her goosebumps all over her body.

But there is still wind today, and the cool night breeze pours into the collar. The delicate place feels cold, and I always feel as if I am wearing nothing.

"Aunt Qing, are you really okay?"

Ji Tianci looked at Aunt Qing with concern, he felt that today's Aunt Qing had an indescribable eccentricity.

"Really...... It's all right! ”

"I'm going to sleep!"

"Your Highness, you've been busy for a long time today, and you should rest early!"

As she spoke, Aunt Qing stepped on small steps and walked to the outhouse.

Ji Tianci stared at the back of Aunt Qing's departure, his waist was as bright as ever, and under the slender waist, the curve suddenly opened up, like a ripe peach.

is very familiar with the beautiful back, but Ji Tianci always feels that something is wrong.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Tianci suddenly realized.

"The jitter amplitude has become larger!"

……

In the next few days.

Including Ji Tianci, several other princes were all busy, either recruiting the generals of the Royal Forest Army, or preparing for the suppression of bandits in Taihu Lake.

East Palace, school grounds.

A majestic, dark and deep cannon was placed in the center of the school grounds.

The prince looked at the giant cannon with a confused look in his eyes, revealing an extremely excited expression.

"Master Meng, this is a cannon?"

"Can you blast out three thousand zhang with one shot?"

The prince's fingers touched the body of the giant cannon, and the cold touch gave him a cold feeling of the sofa.

Even if this cannon was not fired, the prince could feel the huge killing intent hidden behind this sharp weapon.

Meng Guanghan stroked his beard and said with a smug face.

"Thanks to the drawings you provided, Your Highness."

"If there were no drawings, the old man would not have been able to make this giant cannon in a short time!"

"The old man fired a few shots before, and each time he could blast out 3,000 zhang."

"And the old man has also made targeted improvements, which can increase the rate of fire by one-fifth."

Meng Guanghan said it freely, and the prince heard it in a fog.

Still, he got it in general.

The giant cannon built by Meng Guanghan is even stronger than the giant cannon of Lao Wu.

This made the prince very satisfied.

Finally, finally, I finally overwhelmed the old one.

As the eldest son of Emperor Xiaoyuan, as the prince of Wu State, it is really difficult!

Everywhere is pressed by the old five!

"These people from the Mo family really have nothing to say about their ability in mechanical techniques!"

"It's a pity that their brains are not very good, but they want to be high and love non-attack, and use this set of frugal burials."

"It's so annoying!"

In the prince's heart, he sighed that the Mo family represented by Meng Guanghan had good attainments.

On the other hand, he sneered at the Mohist thoughts.

"It's a pity!"

"If I can get the drawings earlier, with this cannon, I will definitely be able to push my people to the position of Shaofuqing."

The prince sighed in his heart, of course, it was just emotion.

The prince knew very well that if Wang Xuanfan was not about to be completed, how could Lao Wu hand over the drawings so easily?

Meng Guanghan, as an agency guy, did not perceive the prince's thoughts, and after excitedly introducing the giant cannon, he opened his mouth to ask.

"May I ask Your Highness, who drew the blueprint of this giant cannon?"

"The man who invented the cannon is simply a genius!"

"Such talents should join our Mo family!"

Meng Guanghan danced with his hands, and his admiration for Ji Tianci really disgusted Ji Tianci.

Inspecting the giant cannon, you have to be angry with the old five, it's really hateful!

The prince gritted his silver teeth viciously, and there was a nameless anger burning in his heart.

"Huh!"

"Master Meng, this drawing is from Shaofu Temple, who drew it, and it is not very clear to Lone."

"Probably, it's Cheng Yishan, the last Shaofu Secretary of Shaofu Temple!"

"Oh!"

"Where is Master Cheng? The old man is very similar to meeting Master Cheng, a genius in mechanical arts. ”

"Hehe, this is going to disappoint you, Master Meng."

"Master Cheng returned to his hometown some time ago!" The prince said slowly.

"Alas—what a pity!"

Meng Guanghan's face showed a deep pity, and he did not doubt at all that what the prince said was true or false.

When the prince saw that Meng Guanghan was so easy to fool, he was disdainful in his heart.

The people of the Mo family are also very good at mechanical skills, and in other aspects, they are simply mentally handicapped children.

But soon, Meng Guanghan left behind the distress of not being able to see Cheng Yishan.

He took the initiative to ask for help and said to the prince.

"Your Highness, please say that the Imperial Forest Army is going south to Taihu Lake to suppress bandits, and the old man hopes to move with the army."

"The lair of the Taihu Lake bandits, try the power of the giant cannon!"

After listening to Meng Guanghan's words, the prince made up a scene in his mind of a giant cannon blasting through the water bandits' lair.

The sound of artillery shook the sky!

Rocks pierce the air!

It's a mess!

For a while, the prince's heart couldn't help but be enthusiastic and excited.

"Good!"

"It's lonely!"

……

The ground effect aircraft, under the auspices of Wang Xuanfan, was advancing in an orderly manner.

Regarding the construction difficulties in the ground effect aircraft, Wang Xuanfan did not hold it up, and asked Ji Tianci, the creator, in a very timely manner.

For a time, the progress of ground effect aircraft was extremely fast.

According to Ji Tianci's estimate, it will be able to be made in half a month at most.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report!" Chu Yijun was wearing a close-fitting suit, heroic and chic, with a unique heroic spirit.

"Yijun, what's important?"

Ji Tianci took a sip of tea and asked unhurriedly.

Chu Yijun's face was a little anxious, his tone became urgent, and his eyes were full of solemnity and solemnity.

"Your Royal Highness, the third prince received a position in the imperial history, went south to Yangxian, and inspected the officialdom."

"Yang Xian!"

When Ji Tianci heard the name of this place, he raised his eyebrows.

Yangxian is just a small city, and it has no sense of existence in Wu State.

However, to go from the imperial capital to Yangxian, you just have to pass through Taihu Lake.

At this point in time, the third child went to Yangxian to inspect and observe, which is very delicate!

"It seems that the third child is not idle."

"Nominally, as a royal historian, he patrols the officialdom, mostly for the sake of Taihu Lake to suppress bandits."

"Who is the general of the Royal Forest Army who took refuge in the third child?" Ji Tianci asked.

Chu Yijun seemed to have expected that Ji Tianci would ask this question, and almost blurted it out.

"Zhang Lie, General Zhang!"

"It turned out to be him!"

In Ji Tianci's mind, a middle-aged man with a big beard appeared.

Zhang Lie, among the five generals of the Imperial Forest Army, has medium strength, but he is better than with a calm personality, marching and fighting, wanting to fight steadily, and never taking risks.

"Lone knows!"

Compared with the combination of the third child and Zhang Lie, Ji Tianci cares more about the prince's current moves.

Chen Qibo, both in strength and qualifications, is above Zhang Lie.

Among the five generals, Chen Qibo is also the most likely to challenge Wei Yanfeng.

Chu Yijun then reported.

"Your Highness, there is also movement among the six princes."

"Oh? What did the sixth do? ”

"The six princes went to Liangxi on the grounds of condolences to the front-line army!"

Ji Tianci pursed his lips.

To go to Liangxi, you also have to pass through Taihu Lake.

What condolences to the army.

The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers.

The sixth is not a peaceful master.

"What about the Prince? Did he go south too? Ji Tianci then asked.

Chu Yijun shook his head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the East Palace, and he has not gone south."

"However, the group of Imperial Sword Villa has already gone south, and the target should be Taihu Lake!"

"In addition to the people of Edgeworth, there is also a stranger."

"Strangers?"

"Not at all in the intelligence! It should have taken refuge with the prince in the near future! ”

"How's the strength?" Ji Tianci then asked.

At the same time, Ji Tianci couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The prince is full of righteousness, and righteousness itself has a strong appeal.

Even if the prince himself does not have a good reputation in the government and the opposition, there are still many people who are willing to take refuge in the prince.

"I don't know!" Chu Yijun thought for a moment, and then said, "That person is at least at the level of a grandmaster. ”

"However, that person and the group of Sedgeworth Villa don't seem to be very compatible."

"The subordinates guess that it may be the strong grandmaster of one of the hundred families."

Ji Tianci listened to Chu Yijun's words, groaned, and then said.

"Let the people of the Hanging Mirror Division divide some people to investigate the mysterious grandmaster."

"At the very least, we must investigate his identity and his strength."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

……

The prince left, although he was a few days late, but he still left.

For a while, in the imperial capital, only Ji Tianci was still slow, and there was no movement to the south.

Time is passing day by day.

Half a month has passed in the snap of a finger.

Ji Tianci was still nested in the prince's mansion and did not go south.

This move has aroused the attention and curiosity of many people.

"Mr. Dong, what do you mean by the fifth child?"

"Why hasn't the fifth child moved?"

"Is it a trick?"

The prince's heart was full of doubts, the fifth child's recent actions were too intriguing.

It really made him puzzled.

Mr. Dong sighed, and his heart was also full of doubts.

According to Ji Tianci's style of acting in the past, he was resolute, and according to common sense, he had already gone south.

It will never be like this, slow, without movement, and looking like lying down and giving up.

"Mr. Dong, did the fifth child give up?"

The prince exclaimed in surprise, with a faint look of joy on his face.

Mr. Dong shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Highness, please don't have a fluke mentality!"

"The Fifth Prince is your biggest opponent, and the situation is very good, how can you take the initiative to give up?"

"What does it mean that the fifth child has no movement?"

Mr. Dong persuaded the prince earnestly.

"Your Highness, don't be disturbed by the five princes!"

"No matter what the Fifth Highness has planned, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to help Wei Yanfeng take the position of Wei Weiqing."

"As long as General Chen can shine in the suppression of bandits in Taihu Lake and win the first place, no matter what calculations the five princes have, they will fail."

Mr. Dong gave some advice, and the prince also understood.

I can't be messed up by the actions of the fifth child.

No matter what the old five plans are.

In the end, it's all about winning and losing on the battlefield.

As long as Chen Qibo performs well in the suppression of bandits in Taihu Lake, no matter what conspiracy and tricks the fifth child has, he will not be able to turn the tables.

"Your Highness, you should pay more attention to the situation of the Third Princes and the Sixth Princes."

"They arrived at Taihu Lake ahead of schedule, and it is estimated that their army has already begun to suppress bandits in Taihu Lake."

The actions of the third prince and the sixth prince, the crown prince's heart, is naturally clear.

It's just that he doesn't care about the three princes and the six princes at all.

A contemptuous arc flashed across the prince's face.

"Mr. Dong's square line, the third and sixth are not enough!"

"Lone has a cannon in hand, hesitate to help the Legalists, the third and sixth, they don't have the strength to challenge Lone."

……

Not only was the prince curious about Ji Tianci's delay, but even the Chinese military officials of the dynasty also had many doubts in their hearts.

Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xiaoyuan rarely finished reading the music and sipping the tea slowly.

"Little Zhongzi, what do you say he is thinking?"

"It's been almost half a month since the prince and them left, and he's still staying in the mansion, are you planning to give up?"

A faint doubt flashed in Emperor Xiaoyuan's eyes.

For the generals of the Imperial Forest Army to defect to the prince, he saw all these moves.

Even, he secretly contributed to the trouble.

In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Royal Forest Army, so that the various battalions of the Royal Forest Army can compete with each other and improve their combat power to a higher level.

As for Wei Weiqing not being his confidant, will the Royal Forest Army pose a threat to him.

Emperor Xiaoyuan was dismissive of this.

As a great grandmaster, he is really not afraid of the Royal Forest Army calling for rebellion.

Unless, the Royal Forest Army is in the hands of champions Hou and Wellingbourg, who are also great masters.

There is a chasm between the Grandmaster and the Grand Grandmaster, and it is absolutely impossible to cross.

Even with the assistance of a strong army like the Imperial Forest, it would not be possible.

But between the same great masters, if there is a strong army like the Imperial Forest Army, it will burst out with incredible effects.

Liu Zhong stood respectfully beside Emperor Xiaoyuan.

He knew very well that the current situation in the imperial capital was stirred up by Emperor Xiaoyuan.

"Your Majesty, the old slave heard that His Royal Highness Fifth has been going to Shaofu Temple very frequently recently."

"Shaofu Temple?"

"What is that kid tossing?"

"This old slave doesn't know."

"I heard that the heavenly masters and craftsmen of Shaofu Temple rotate twelve hours a day, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all completed in Shaofu Temple."

"Mysterious, I don't know what I'm doing?"

"And don't let outsiders get close at all, and if you get close, you will be blasted out by Shaofu Temple."

Emperor Xiaoyuan listened to Liu Zhong's return.

There was a faint dissatisfaction in Liu Zhong's tone, which was heard by Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan estimated that the little eunuch under Liu Zhong must have suffered a big loss in the hands of Shaofu Temple when he inquired about the news.

"I guess God has come up with something new!"

"I handed over Shaofu Temple to him, I didn't look at the wrong person!"

"I hope God's gift can surprise me again!"

Emperor Xiaoyuan said with a smile on his face, drank the tea in one go, and then said to Liu Zhong.

"Swing the Huaqing Palace!"

When Liu Zhong heard that Emperor Xiaoyuan was going to pamper Concubine De again tonight, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for His Majesty's favor for Concubine De.

Of the ten days, at least five or six days spent the night at Concubine De's place.

At this frequency, Concubine De will be killed sooner or later.

……

The Five Princes' Mansion.

While everyone else was curious about Ji Tianci's plan, Ji Tianci was writing a letter at this time.

Well—write a letter to his pen pal Jiang Ruoshui.

These days, the correspondence between him and Jiang Ruoshui has never been broken.

They exchanged letters and discussed basically related to breeding.

Ji Tianci relied on his unique knowledge to completely conquer Jiang Ruoshui.

Reading between the lines, Ji Tianci can feel that Jiang Ruoshui has become his little fan sister and admires him.

"It is estimated that in Jiang Ruoshui's mind, I have become an unborn peerless great master!"

Ji Tianci touched his chin and smiled, feeling that this result was very interesting.

Today, Ji Tianci wrote another letter to Jiang Ruoshui.

Because he was about to go to Taihu Lake to suppress bandits, it was too troublesome to write back and forth.

Therefore, Ji Tianci deliberately lied that he was going to retreat and would not reply to the letter for the time being.

In addition, Ji Tianci asked Jiang Ruoshui for help in the letter to find male sterile strains.

The hybridization experiment of camellia went very well.

Ji Tianci had already set his eyes on the rice.

The people live on food.

Rice is the staple food of Wu, and its status in Wu is self-evident.

However, it is very difficult to cultivate rice by hybridization.

Because rice is self-pollinating, it does not require any external intervention, and once mature, the pistils and stamens are pollinated.

Therefore, male sterile strains with infertile stamens are particularly important.

Yuan Lao's status is so high, and his greatest contribution is to find male sterile strains and then establish a hybrid rice system based on male sterile strains.

Others, even if they can cultivate hybrid rice, use Yuan Lao's method.

Since Ji Tianci knew that Jiang Ruoshui was the descendant of Emperor Yan Shennong's clan, he naturally wanted to make good use of Jiang Ruoshui's resources.

Shennong's is the ancestor of breeding, with a long history, maybe in Shennong's, there is the existence of male sterile strains.

After writing the letter, Ji Tianci stretched his waist, and there was a crackling sound in the bones.

"It's not far from breaking the limit five times!"

"I don't know, can I use this Taihu Lake to suppress bandits and open the limit five times?"

Ji Tianci felt the majestic blood in his body and said expectantly.

At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Chu Yijun walked into the study heroically.

"What's the matter?" Ji Tianci asked.

Chu Yijun hesitated, but still asked his doubts.

"Your Highness, aren't we going south?"

Chu Yijun was confused and a little anxious.

After all, several other princes have moved.

The three princes with the fastest movements have already fought with the water bandits in Taihu Lake, and the harvest is not small.

Only Ji Tianci didn't move at all, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Ji Tianci chuckled lightly and comforted Chu Yijun.

"No hurry, no hurry!"

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!"

"When His Royal Highness's big baby is ready, it's too late to do it."

"Big baby?"

Chu Yijun was confused, and subconsciously looked at Ji Tianci's lower body.

Looking at the outline, it's really big!

Ahh

Chu Yijun, you little pervert, what are you thinking?

Your Highness is big, what does it have to do with you?

"Yijun, go with Lonely, Lone will take you to see Lonely's big baby!"
