Chapter 358 The Sword is Forged
She didn't know what kind of drama her father, who seemed quite serious and solemn, had imagined after she left.
As soon as Yun Shu entered the Ministry of Industry, he immediately asked someone to gather together Jiang Yuanbao, Zheng Qiaozhang, and Ye Qingan, who were currently leading the way in the field of "innovation".
In order not to delay other things, I asked in advance:
"I don't think you have anything particularly busy recently, right?"
"Of course not."
After all, Ye Qing'an was once Yun Shu's tutor, so he had a close relationship with her and knew her character.
When answering this question, I couldn't help but add one more sentence:
"After all, when Your Highness suppressed the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, I was not included in the list of personnel seconded from the Ministry of Works."
"Isn't this a matter of specialization?"
Yun Shu coughed lightly:
"Didn't I ask you guys to come here for this new blueprint?"
"New blueprint?"
Although Ye Qingan and the others were all very curious about the legendary new weapon,
However, the imperial court has not yet announced any details about the new weapons. They probably all know in their hearts that this means they want to keep it secret and not let more people know.
When Yunshu mentioned that there were new blueprints, he changed the subject:
"Your Highness, are you going to prepare another birthday gift for His Majesty?"
"Yes."
Yun Shu nodded without blinking:
"Speaking of which, I have been thinking about this blueprint since last year. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no need to make any more changes to the blueprint. You can just follow it and make the product."
"Your Highness said that I am becoming more and more curious."
Zheng Qiaozhang couldn't help but rub his hands:
"I don't know that blueprint..."
"Here it is."
After she came up with this idea yesterday, she immediately returned to the villa and took out the blueprint she had drawn and spread it out on the table.
Yun Shu waved his hand, signaling everyone to come closer:
"Take a look and see if there is anything you don't understand."
"Your Highness, what are these circles?"
Jiang Yuanbao saw the detailed picture in the center of the drawing at a glance:
"It looks like the place where the rope is tied around the well where the bucket is placed to draw water."
“This is not a rope.”
Yun Shu raised his eyebrows and carefully explained the details on the drawings to them.
Because Jiang Yuanbao's talent points are mainly in carpentry, machinery, and mechanics.
My understanding of physics is a little weaker.
So he asked the most questions throughout the whole process.
But it was precisely because of these questions that Yun Shu was able to explain all the details in detail and ensure that all three people could thoroughly understand these drawings.
By the time all the drawings were explained, the sun was about to set.
As the three people reluctantly bid farewell, Yun Shu stepped over the threshold and looked through the dead branches in the yard at the golden-rimmed clouds in the distant sky.
Turning back and smiling:
"Okay, I have to go back to the palace first. I probably won't have time to come out for a while.
If you have any problems again in the future, just have someone send you directly to the palace.
I hope that the next time we meet, the sun will be setting, and it won’t be a reason for me to rush back to the palace as soon as possible.”
"Your Highness, don't worry."
Ye Qingan's mind was still full of the physics knowledge that Yun Shu had given them today. His brain was working at a high intensity, making him look a little excited:
"Your Highness has drawn the blueprint so clearly. If we can't even do this, then we are too useless."
"yes……"
Zheng Qiaozhang was about to agree when he caught a glimpse of a craftsman standing in the yard. He slapped his head and said quickly:
"Look at my memory... I heard that Your Highness summoned me today, so I came in a hurry and almost forgot another important matter.
Your Highness, the sword you requested has been made. Would you like to see it now? " "It's finished so quickly?"
Yun Shu was a little surprised.
After she invented the steam engine to make steel, she also had someone start making the sword that she had promised to give to Cen Yiyi.
But because she had read many mysterious records about the sword in the past,
What about forging a sword with one's own body, watering it with blood, etc.
Although she didn't believe it, she still subconsciously remembered the common points in these stories -
It would take several years, or even more than ten years, to successfully forge a sword that was passed down from generation to generation!
But it's less than a year now.
Is the sword ready?
"Then let's see."
Yun Shu nodded in surprise and curiosity:
"Where is the sword?"
"Your Highness, it has been delivered."
As Zheng Qiaozhang spoke, he waved to the craftsman holding a long sword case in the courtyard:
"Hurry up and present the sword!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The craftsman had been working as a blacksmith all his life, and had never thought that he would stand before the princess one day. He held the sword case with even more force:
"Bao, the sword is here!"
He nervously opened the sword case, revealing the simple yet exquisite sword inside.
The scabbard and hilt looked exactly the same as the ones Yunshu had drawn himself.
The snow-white scabbard is engraved with elegant patterns that are simple, yet mysterious. Looking closely at it in the light of the setting sun, one can faintly see tiny specks of light flowing among the patterns.
Yun Shu reached out and picked up the sword. The light feel of the sword surprised her again.
Clang!
The long sword was unsheathed, the thin blade as thin as a cicada's wing trembled lightly, the blade was like autumn water, and the cold light was sharp.
Just by holding it in your hand, you can seem to feel the faint murderous aura emanating from it.
Even Yun Shu, who knew nothing about swordsmanship, couldn't let it go.
But Yiyi wants to be a female general.
It is certainly not enough for this sword to just look good.
Yun Shu casually turned his wrist and looked around:
"Is there anything here that I can use to test my sword?"
"some!"
The craftsman who delivered the sword had obviously anticipated this, and quickly took off the big knife hanging from his waist:
"Your Highness, look at this. This is the knife that the soldiers in the army use now. Just chop it according to this!"
"Just... just chop it straight away?"
Yun Shu hesitated.
After all, the swords and sabers currently used by the Tiansheng Army were all improved by her.
Previously on the battlefield, the swords in the hands of the soldiers of the seven nations were no match for Tiansheng’s.
The sword in her hand looked good, but the blade was not even half as thick as the blade.
Will there really be no problems if I just chop it down?
The sword breaking in her hand was no big deal.
What if someone gets killed?
"Your Highness, how about...let me try?"
