Xiao Yuzhan was asked by Shao Xi like this, and began to be a little embarrassed, touching his chin with his hand, looking at the roof with his eyes and pondering for a long time, and he didn't know how to describe to Shao Xi what the weapon called Thor in his mouth looked like?

Shao Xi looked at his struggling appearance, and wanted to say forget it, and if he couldn't say it, don't say it.

Who knew that this kid came up stubbornly, and after thinking for a long time, he finally opened his two hands in front of Shao Xi and compared, Shao Xi looked at him and felt a little inexplicable.

What is this for? Do you want to hug yourself?

"It's so big, it's a big wooden barrel, it's wrapped in cowhide on the outside, and there seems to be a shelf underneath, I can't say how detailed it is."

Shao Xi listened, I'm damned! Isn't this a flying thunder cannon? How did it become Thor in their mouths?

But it's not wrong, it was because I made this thing that I was called Thor on the grassland, but now why do I feel so awkward when I hear this name?

Could it be that someone heard about this thing on the grassland, but they didn't know what it was called, so they simply named this thing with the legend of Thor that circulated on the grassland back then?

After using this thing once, it was sealed in the Ministry of Toth, and although it has been offered as a sacred object by the herdsmen of the Ministry of Toth, it has never been used again.

It's been ten years, and they've been able to figure it out! Has anyone been in contact with the Ministry of Thoth?

However, he had specially instructed Zhuo Ligetu not to mention such a thing as a flying thunder cannon to any outsiders, and it is said that the herdsmen of the Toth Department should not have told the Central Plains people about this, how did they get this news?

Now Xiao Yuzhan talked about the appearance of the flying thunder cannon in front of him, if he showed that he knew this thing, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

So Shao Xi deliberately pretended not to understand, and asked Xiao Yuzhan with a puzzled expression: "Barrel? How did a wooden barrel wrapped in cowhide become Thor?

"His Royal Highness King Cheng, are you happy with me? Although I don't know much, I also know that this thing you said is okay to hold water, as a weapon? You're not kidding me, are you? ”

Xiao Yuzhan immediately became anxious when he saw Shao Xi's disbelief, and argued with a red face: "Brother Shao, I'm really not joking with you, this thing is really called Thor, I still saw it from the imperial brother."

"Two days ago, I saw him sitting there in a daze with this pattern in his hand, so I asked him what it was, and he said that it was a very powerful weapon called Thor, and he kept the pattern like a treasure.

"Pattern! By the way, there are patterns coming, you wait! I'll go find that pattern for you, where is the royal brother hiding? ”

Xiao Yuzhan didn't care if Shao Xi wanted to see it or not, he was there alone, seriously recalling where Xiao Yuming had put that pattern before.

After thinking about it for a while, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I turned around and ran towards the rows of bookshelves again.

Shao Xi saw that he was going to climb the wooden ladder again, so he hurriedly followed.

I saw Xiao Yuzhan run to the innermost bookshelf, pushed the wooden ladder to the bookshelf, climbed up along the wooden ladder, and pulled out a bamboo tube in an extremely secret corner.

opened the lid and pulled out the rolled up paper inside, opened it and looked at it, nodded and leaned over to hand the paper to Shao Xi.

Shao Xi took it and took a look, I'll wipe it! Who restored this?

I saw that the structure of the flying thunder cannon painted on the pattern was almost exactly the same as the pattern he drew back then, which made Shao Xi stunned.

Not to mention that this thing is just heard, even if you have seen it with your own eyes, it is impossible to draw the pattern in such detail, which is obviously to see the real thing, and carefully study it to restore the pattern so accurately.

To say that the person who painted this pattern had never seen a flying thunder cannon, he didn't believe it when he killed Shao Xi.

In this way, someone must have been to the Ministry of Thoths after he left the grassland, and saw the real Flying Thunder Cannon, but who could it be? Who drew the pattern of this flying thunder cannon and handed it over to Xiao Yuming?

When Shao Xi was stunned, Xiao Yuzhan, who was riding on the wooden ladder, said proudly: "What's the matter, I didn't lie to you, right?" There is really this thing, and the royal brother keeps it like a baby.

"But I still haven't figured out why this thing is called Thor? How should I use it? But the royal brother said that this thing is very powerful, and it can withstand thousands of troops! But looking at it like that, I don't think I'm missing something. ”

Shao Xixin said that you are so smart, but there is something missing! Without the most important thing, without my gunpowder, this is a barrel.

But how did Xiao Yuming know that this thing was very powerful? Who did he listen to?

I have only used this thing once, and the people who know the effect of using it are limited to the Ministry of Thoth and the Ministry of Mao'an, at most they are adding Guo Youde.

The only people who can draw this pattern and say that this thing is very powerful are the people of the Ministry of Thoth, and they must be the people who operated the Flying Thunder Cannon back then, and only such people will have this level of understanding of the Flying Thunder Cannon.

Shao Xi deliberately put on a suspicious appearance of the deputy general, and casually handed the pattern back to Xiao Yuzhan with a raised hand.

Pretending to be very casual and asked, "A wooden barrel is blown so mysterious, which guy dares to deceive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this?" What's the use of such an ordinary thing? ”

Xiao Yuzhan took the pattern, held it in his hand and looked at it again.

He muttered, "Could it be that this is really just a barrel?" But when the imperial brother told me about this thing, he looked quite serious, as if he was very interested in this thing, and said that if he could really build it completely, he would definitely help my Jingyuan Empire dominate the world and monopolize Kyushu.

"But I didn't see that this thing was as powerful as he said, as for where the imperial brother got this pattern, I don't know very well, the imperial brother also likes these tricks on weekdays, and has collected a lot of patterns of strange things in the world, I don't know where he got it."

The pattern was drawn in such detail, but the origin was unknown, which made Shao Xi can't help but mumble in his heart.

However, it is not incomprehensible that Xiao Yuming, as the crown prince, wants to find some ways to win on the battlefield, so as to win the war by surprise in the future.

After all, when the situation is complicated today, I can't say who I will fight with one day, isn't Xiao Changyi also building warships for the future battle with Dongmu State, in case of future wars?

It seems that it is necessary to check the source of this pattern in private, and see who told Xiao Yuming about the flying thunder cannon on the grassland.

The only thing that makes Shao Xi feel fortunate now is that the formula of this gunpowder has not been leaked, judging from this pattern, the person who drew the pattern only knows how to make the firing device of the flying thunder cannon, but does not know how to prepare gunpowder, which makes Shao Xi feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, he and Guo Youde were more cautious about the formula of gunpowder, otherwise once this flying thunder cannon was mass-produced for war, I don't know how many lives would be taken in this era of cold weapons?

At the beginning, it was precisely because he and Guo Youde saw that the elites of the Mao'an Department were wiped out in an instant, that they felt that gunpowder should not appear in this world.

While it is true that it can advance many things to some extent, in the end it will do far more harm to humanity than it can do in other ways.

Maybe one day someone will finally discover how to make gunpowder and make it widely used, but Shao Xi doesn't want that person to be himself.

He didn't want to leave this world one day, and still have someone else's blood on his hands.

Although he had so many thoughts in his heart at this time, Shao Xi did not show any interest in the Flying Thunder Cannon on the surface, but only urged Xiao Yuzhan to put the pattern back in its original place, lest Xiao Yuming come back after a while and find that the two of them were secretly looking at these things that he had secretly hidden.

Since he chose to put this pattern in such a secret place, he definitely didn't want to be discovered, Xiao Yuzhan, as his favorite brother, might have seen it, but if he knew that he had also seen it, it might be another matter.

Speaking of which, this thing can also be considered a military secret to some extent.

After Xiao Yuzhan put the bamboo tube back in its place, the two returned to the bookcase in the study.

Xiao Yuming's study has too many books, and the bookshelves occupy most of the study area, which is not so much a study as a library.

Shao Xi looked at the rows of bookshelves in front of him, and thought to himself that he didn't know how many secrets were still hidden in this study?

It's just that there is such a shocking discovery on this trip today, maybe Xiao Yuming has more unknown secrets hidden in this vast sea of books.

Xiao Yuzhan saw Shao Xi looking at those bookshelves in a daze, and said jokingly: "Brother Shao must be thinking, the imperial brother has collected so many books, I don't know how many secrets are hidden in it, right?"

"Actually, I also want to know, but unfortunately there are too many books here, I have been studying with the imperial brother here for nearly ten years, and I have only read some of them, maybe there are many interesting things in them that I have never discovered.

"Why don't the two of us go to the imperial brother's study often to explore the secret treasure hunt in the future! This is the secret of the two of us, and we will never let the imperial brother find out, what do you think, Brother Shao? ”

Shao Xi muttered in his heart, pull it down quickly!

You think it's fun to explore the treasure hunt here, if I follow you here, I'll get myself into trouble, and I can't afford to play with you!

However, the little prince seemed to see his own thoughts, and he was indeed very interested in other secrets that might be hidden in Xiao Yuming's study.

But it's one thing to be interested, it's another thing to actually take action to dig up these secrets.

Shao Xi knows that curiosity kills cats, and sometimes even if you know that there are many secrets hidden here, it is best not to be driven by curiosity to try to find out these secrets.

Because you never know which secret is going to kill you.
