"That's not necessarily, the weapon is not in its weight, but in its power to kill. The key lies in the strength of the internal qi. In front of the powerhouses of the Qi Passage Realm, flying flowers and picking leaves can kill people thousands of kilometers away, do you have to carry a mountain-heavy weapon to kill the enemy?" Tang Chun retorted.

"Oh, there's some truth to that, boy. However, the old man's bow was made of 'Xuan Jing' at a depth of 2,000 meters under the sea. If it is made, the grade can reach the best of the heavenly rank. It is in the hands of the innate beginner who can shoot and kill the powerhouses of the half-qi gang realm. Whitebeard said with a smug face.

"It's hard to pick this Xuan Jing, right?" Tang Chun asked deliberately.

"Of course, if you compare it with gold, you can only buy it for one tael in a hundred taels. Whitebeard said.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Tang Chun shook his head and shook his head, looking shocked.

"What is a pity?" Whitebeard was a little annoyed.

"It's just that the accuracy is not high enough, and the half-qi gang realm powerhouse is not a fool standing there for you to shoot. Can't shoot such a strong person, and spend so much silver taels, wouldn't this be more than worth the loss. Tang Chun said, taking the beam stone next to the old man and trying it out.

It was found that under the internal force, the light emitted by this stone was actually hidden. Moreover, it is extremely fast, and it can aim at the target in an instant. Tang Chun looked at it with modern eyes and found that its accuracy could definitely achieve the effect of infrared scanning locking.

Tang Chun began to polish the stone, and soon he grinded a stone slot on the bow, and then stuffed the thick stone into it.

Then he picked up a small black arrow, took it, aimed at a copper carriage two hundred meters away, and shot it. There was a crisp boom, and the carriage was suddenly blown into a pile of broken copper pieces.

"How did you do that?" Whitebeard was stunned. Ask.

"With this aim, you can force out the internal qi and light the target. The accuracy is exceptional. If you can use this stone on a redcoat cannon, it will be even more powerful. Tang Chun said, the old guy tried, and immediately stood up and laughed wildly.

"Boy, amazing, wonderful. ”

"It's just a little bit of carving insect skills. Tang Chun snorted disdainfully.

"Oh, it seems that the old man is not wrong to call you into the palace. You're a little younger, and you really have some talent for crafting. Let's go see the redcoat cannon. Whitebeard smiled and pulled Tang Chun into the building and went underground. It was discovered that there was a very tall basement underneath.

Inside, there was a cannon in red coat. Tang Chun looked at it, and he was sure that it was the cannon that he called Liang Douzi and others to work together to shoot and kill the strong people of the Innate Great Perfection, and he didn't know when he got this old guy here.

"Do you see that?" asked Yakujiko.

"I see. I made it myself. But. When did the master arrive at the palace?" Tang Chun asked. I also guessed the identity of the old guy, and I couldn't imagine that the mysterious Master Qiu Zhizi was such a bad old man, and he would be an ordinary worker in the workshop if he was thrown into modern society.

"Your cannon is a must. I didn't think gunpowder could be so useful. If you go to the Artifact Mansion to make it after improvement, you can definitely shoot and kill the powerhouses of the Half-Qi Gang Realm. Because, the material accuracy of your cannon is not high enough, and the toughness and hardness are not enough. It is estimated that it is also because of the problem with the utensils in the workshop. Also, the skill of the craftsman is not high enough. If the old man presides over the production, it will definitely increase its power several times. Qiu Zhizi smiled.

"Thank you for the compliment, just a little bit of trick on the part of the boy. Tang Chun seemed to be quite modest.

"The stone just now is called the Secluded Stone, which is very precious. Therefore, it is impossible to use weapons on a large area. Can only be used on refined weapons. And the emperor was also a dragon-hearted joy after seeing the red-clothed cannon, and asked the product house to make a hundred such cannons to guard Yudu. There are more than 20 doors outside the nine gates, and the rest is the key point of Yudu. The palace alone had to make fifty or sixty gates. Qiu Jizi said.

"Hundred, and the power has to reach the cannon that can shoot and kill the powerhouse of the half-qi gang realm, this, the difficulty is very high. Tang Chun deliberately pretended to be embarrassed.

"It's not difficult, why did I ask you to come in?" Qiu Zhizi's face froze.

"I'm afraid it's hard to finish. Tang Chun said.

"I think I'll leave it to your deputy on the forbidden army's side, how about you come over to make the red-clothed cannon with me during this time?" asked Qiu Zhizi.

"I'll have to see who you have under you, and besides, I'll have to move my original team in Daozi County to the capital.

My side has formed a complete set of workshop procedures for making cardinal cannons. It's just that there are too few strong people with high skills.

This will not work, I want to build a workshop in Yudu, which can be produced in cooperation with the Instrument Maker. However, we have to pay some silver taels for each of the cannons in the Chamberlain. Tang Chun began to talk about business.

This guy wondered if he could borrow the modern arms export trade from ancient times. Then he is the master of ancient arms, Shen Wansan is second. Tang Chun understands what the economic lifeline means to a country.

"This is not allowed, of course, the workers in your workshop can come in and help us make some rough parts. We'll pay them for it. Qiu Jizi said.

"It's better to make the parts that can be made by my subordinates. The key parts have to be done by the Instrument Maker. When the time comes, it will be assembled at the Monofu. Tang Chun said.

"Yes, however, the red-coated cannon is the highest secret of the state. It must not be leaked out, this is the foundation of the country. The Holy One is careful to give an account of this. Qiu Zhizi said, glanced at Tang Chun, took out a piece of jade pendant, and said with a smile, "I heard that your mother has also entered Beijing, so I will give her this jade pendant." ”

"Thank you, Master, for the reward. Of course, Tang Chun would not refuse Qiu Zhizi's high-grade talisman.

As soon as Tang Chun left, Qiu Zhizi hurried to the Taihe Hall behind the Heavenly King's Palace. The Taihe Hall is the place where the emperor privately receives a small number of ministers to discuss major affairs of the country.

"What did he say?" Emperor Yu asked after inviting Master Qiu to sit down.

"It's a little strange, as if I want to build my own cannon. I also set up a private workshop. Qiu Jizi said.

"Could it be that he has a different heart?" Emperor Yu's face was stiff, and his anger came out.

"Not necessarily, I guess I want to make some money. I heard that in the process of recovering Daozi County, most of the military silver was privately issued by him. This son is good, I rarely have such a generation for the country. Master Qiu's evaluation of Tang Chun was quite high, "Moreover, defeat a strong enemy with a weak division." And, the redcoat cannon was invented, and the ironclad warship was invented. This son is really a genius of the craft. ”

"Could it be that the master wants to take him in vain?" said Emperor Yu with a smile.

"Let's observe for a while, your subordinates really have this kind of thought. His subordinates have been making weapons for decades, but to this day they have not found a talent that can be created. Mediocre people have a bad reputation, and it's better not to accept it. Qiu Jizi touched her chin.

"Alas, there are tens of billions of people in the imperial dynasty, and it is difficult to find a person who can enter the master's eyes. Could it be that there is no successor to my Great Yu Dynasty?" Emperor Yu sighed.

"No, most of the artifact geniuses have been taken away by the Luo Hai Sect and other artifact making sects. Compared with serving in the Imperial Instrument Mansion, they are more willing to go to the big sects, because they have a future for development. After all, there are many rules in the dynasty, and some geniuses are troublesome. Moreover, these sects have long formed a complete set of ways to collect talents, and the imperial dynasty cannot be compared. "Qiu Zhizi is telling the truth. With his transcendent status, the emperor would not blame.

"After all, the court is a country, and its scope is much larger than a sect. It is impossible to run a country without rules. This is also the disadvantage of the dynasty, a reality that cannot be changed. Emperor Yu sighed, glanced at Master Qiu, and smiled, "Since Master has this meaning, then this emperor will fulfill you." It's hard to find a good master crafter. ”

"That's what I mean, I'll be admitted to the Instrument Mansion first. Later, I will look at it for a while and make a decision. However, if this position is too low, I am afraid that he will not be very happy to come. After all, compared to the Forbidden Army's Purple Guard, the Weapon Mansion seemed very mediocre. Master Qiu said.

"Hehe, it's okay, he's satisfied. Emperor Yu smiled mysteriously.

The next morning, the father-in-law in the palace went to the Tang Mansion to read the holy decree.

"Emperor Yu's Holy Order...... Tang Chun was appointed as the deputy director of the Imperial Instrument Headquarters. Assist Master Yakujiko in the management of the Instrument Maker's Office. He also served as the commander of the Yellow Flag Army of the Forbidden Army, a general who protected the country from the fourth grade, and a second-class guard. A piece of silver decree is given, and you can enter the palace at any time. ”

"Hahaha, big brother, although your grade has not been promoted, your position has risen a lot. After sending off his father-in-law, Li Bei Ha said with a smile.

"Yes, I heard that there are several deputy directors of the General Office of Equipment. The other deputy directors are all served by the second rank of the senior officer. Big brother, you're on an equal footing with these big men now. Moreover, looking at the tone of this holy order, the emperor wants you to take over Master Qiu's class. The fat man laughed.

"Well, to assist Master Qiu in managing the General Mansion, then this holy order is quite weird. Bao Yi touched his chin.

"It's about choosing a successor for the master, and this 'assistance' raises the status of the eldest brother to a position beyond that of other deputy directors.

Master Qiu has no rank in the palace, but his status is even more transcendent than that of the prince. The emperor gave him a golden decree that he could enter the palace directly by horse or sedan chair at any time without getting off the sedan chair or dismounting.

And there is also his annex garden in the palace. If the eldest brother can really worship Master Qiu as a teacher, it is also a creation. This sect of artifact makers is quite popular, especially those masters of the sixth grade and above, no matter which sect they go to, they are all respectfully served.

Because, a good weapon is a killer weapon to defeat a strong enemy. If the eldest brother can really inherit Master Qiu's superb skills, we won't have to worry about weapons in the future. The fat man grinned.

"That's right, as soon as the eldest brother enters, he will be given a silver order, which is convenient for the eldest brother to enter the palace at any time to ask the master for advice. This kind of treatment does not talk about the third and fourth grades, even the first rank of the dynasty rarely has this kind of special treatment. Even the prince does not have this privilege, this is the transcendent recognition of Master Qiu's status by the saint. Now even with the love house and Wu, even the eldest brother is gone. Li Bei said.

"Then it seems that it will not be possible to go without it. Tang Chun said. (To be continued......)
