Heavenly Dao Formula

Four days later, a special trial kicked off on Seongdong Beach.

The invited participants included Ning Wanjun, He Guicai and other military representatives, as well as representatives of the elves headed by Senia, as well as Luo Qingqing, Li and other people who joined in the fun. Hong Siqi, who performed well in hosting refugees, was also invited.

Seeing Xia Fan, Ning Wanjun waved to him, indicating that he had something to say, and the former also bent slightly in cooperation, putting his ear next to her cheek.

"I can understand that you asked the elves to come to visit. I heard that there is a lot of controversy among their clan about the in-depth cooperation with Jinxia City, but...why did you even invite people from the six departments of the imperial court?" Ning Wanjun lowered her voice, " Are you not worried that he will leak the news to Gyeonggi?"

Obviously, the princess doesn't like the "eyeliner" that the imperial court puts in her territory, even if the other party has expressed their allegiance.

"If Hong Siqi still has any hope of returning to the position of prefect, it must be hoped that the court will deprive you of everything by force. So after showing him that all this is impossible, I think he will put away those things instead. Be careful." Xia Fan replied relaxedly, "As for the leak of the news, don't worry, even if the Ministry of Industry gets the finished product, it won't be able to imitate it in a short time."

Because it is a genuine industrial product.

It involves the smelting of steel, the forging and cutting of parts, and a set of strict to almost harsh measurement standards, so that every screw seam and joint can be tightly fitted, which cannot be imitated by just a single idea.

"Your Highness, good day. May the harmonious sea breeze always be by your side." Senia came up to greet Ning Wanjun. This time, she is using the mainland language, and her speaking speed has improved a lot compared to a month ago, so it can be said that communication is no problem. "I don't know what the test thing you want to show this time?"

Not far away, Ai Li secretly waved at Xia Fan, as lively as ever.

"Good afternoon." Ning Wanjun replied briefly, "It's a weapon."

Whenever seeing the scene of the two meeting, Xia Fan can't help feeling the wonder of the world.

On one side is a tall and straight elf wearing an exquisite dress, and on the other is a round-neck gown, a short but imposing princess—no matter in terms of appearance, dress or clothing, they are like people from two worlds.

But by chance, they stood face to face.

"Really? I'm looking forward to it." Senia rubbed her chest.

...

"You mean...weapons?" Pang Ting, the patriarch of the Sharman family, frowned slightly. "Are they showing their strength to the tree boat?"

Showing strength is a nice way to say it, but a bad way to say it is a threat.

"It may also just want to help us build confidence and prove that we have the strength to fulfill the agreement." Senia glanced at him, half chuckled and half helplessly said, "I know you are uneasy about my decision, in fact Sometimes I feel worried myself. But the Shuzhou people can't stand the never-ending wandering... Have you ever thought about what would happen if we didn't meet Jinxia City who was willing to allow us to dock and continue sailing on the sea for half a year. "

Pang Ting sighed, "More than half of the facilities on the tree boat will wither."

"By then we may really be living on the sky."

"But our bloodline problem..."

"Yes, this is a risk, and it is also a risk we must take." Senia admitted, "I have already told all the children that we must never have feelings for the locals. Fortunately, the other party seems to regard us as someone It’s a different kind, and what is usually embarrassing will become a temporary protection here.”

"What I'm really afraid of is that after a long time, the two sides have accepted each other. At this time, the superior realizes the threat and turns his head to attack us. By then, it will be difficult to leave." Pang Ting shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk anymore this topic.

Senia also knows that no one can tell what will happen in the future, but at least for now... the Shuzhou Islanders need to make changes.

At this time, a machine with a simple shape was moved in front of everyone.

The lower part of it is supported by a metal bracket, and the upper part is similar to a musket, except that the bolt part is a bit bulky, as if a gun barrel grew out of an anvil.

"Is this a firearm? It feels much bulkier than the ones used by the Imperials." Pang Ting pondered.

"Because this is just a prototype, there is no need to make it into a gun." Ai Li on the side finally couldn't help but interjected, "Master Mo said that the mold opening work will not start until the test is passed. And It also doesn't use gunpowder."

"You mean... you also participated in the trial production of this weapon?" Senia asked slightly surprised.

"That's right, and Master Mo also specially explained the principles. Only the students who performed best in the exams on weekdays are qualified to be her assistants." Ai Li patted her chest, "You only learned the language, so you don't have to. know that."

"They didn't keep it secret from the elves?" Pang Ting was also a little moved.

"Because that's not something that can be done casually, anyone who has been to the factory of the Machinery Engineering Bureau will understand." Ai Li simply said her thoughts, "Master Mo seems to be very strict, but in fact he treats us It’s not harsh. I don’t think it matters to her whether she has pointed ears or not, she only cares about her grades in the exam.”

"Really?" The patriarch looked to the other side of the beach, and the target had already been set up.

The gun tester was Xia Fan himself.

"You say it doesn't use gunpowder, so what does it use?"

"Air." Airi said sweetly.

"What?" The two couldn't help but froze.

I saw Xia Fan screw a canned object into the notch on the side of the gun, and then pull the trigger.

bang——

Everyone heard the gunshots.

But the sound was unexpectedly crisp, it could even be said...slight, not like a powerful weapon.

"It seems...it missed the target." Senia blinked, "It seems that Master Xia is not good at firearms—"

Before she could finish her sentence, a second whisper came from the front.

During the interval between the two beeps, Xia Fan did not see any additional actions.

Then came the third sound.

Fourth tone.

The interval between each gunshot is shortened and shortened, and finally it seems to be connected into a piece!

——Bah bah bah bah.

The target area also became lively. The flying bullets sometimes splashed a column of sand on the sand, and sometimes hit a ball of debris on the wooden target. Bullet out of the chamber!

Senia suddenly realized that the opponent did not need to be good at using firearms. Even if he missed the target for the first time, there would be many opportunities to make up for the blow later.

After about thirty rings, the gunfire gradually died down. Just when everyone thought the test was over, Xia Fan lifted the can two or three times, and inserted another iron can of the same shape into it.

The bang bang sounded again.

Pang Ting couldn't help swallowing.

This thing seems to have no gaps at all! If it was a hand-to-hand encounter with the imperial army, this weapon alone would be worth a dozen muskets!

Perhaps the priest was not wrong about one thing.

The other party invited the elves to come to prove their abilities.

Even when they faced the imperials on the other side of the sea, they still had the means to contend with them.
