Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Since the Second Prince has taken the initiative to speak, why not show everyone your mechanical skills first?"

At this time, Wu Shizhong, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Before dawn this morning, he had already arranged for people to guard the temple.

As soon as Hua Yunhong demonstrated his mechanical skills, Xu Jiangcai and others would immediately take over, step forward to observe and take notes.

As for the secret guards on the beams of their palace, they would take out paper and pen to draw these parts.

Try to learn more about their exquisite mechanical techniques.

"Of course, everyone, please watch."

Hua Yunhong stood with his hands behind his back, looking cocky, which made everyone feel a little unhappy.

Mei Youcai, who was behind, brought a repeating crossbow in front of everyone and began to introduce it to them.

"This is a repeating crossbow that can fire hundreds of arrows at a time..."

Seeing his beaming face, everyone around him was stunned.

Even many ministers present, without knowing the truth, turned their eyes to Qin Ming.

They didn't know what was going on.

Repeating crossbow... What era is this weapon from?

It was no longer needed when they came up with the repeating musket a few years ago!

Not to mention that Qin Ming's troops are now equipped with automatic rifles on a large scale.

The crossbow is even less effective...

Hua Yunhong and Mei Youcai seemed to have arrived in too haste and did not know much about Daqian.

They even took out this product from the previous era and displayed it in the hall.

This feels a bit like showing off one's skill in front of an expert.

But their confident demeanor, with their tails cocked to the sky and their passionate tones, left no one a chance to interrupt.

"Sir, this..."

Seeing that Qin Ming didn't say anything, Xu Jiangcai hurried to Wu Shizhong and asked in a low voice.

The task Qin Ming gave them was to study the mechanical technology of the Shenmu Kingdom.

The repeating crossbow is considered to be in the category of mechanical technology, but for Daqian now, it is too low-end.

Wu Shizhong was also a little confused.

But he soon thought of another link.

"Since it's a repeating crossbow, you guys should show them the automatic rifle later."

The competition between the two countries is not just a technical contest.

In front of the guests, they were still competing for face.

Since we want to play, let's play something interesting with them, so that we can also show Daqian's strength.

"Row."

Xu Jiangcai waved his hand and asked someone to get the automatic rifle.

Soon, Mei Youcai's introduction was completed.

Hua Yunhong stood aside with his arms folded, looking arrogant.

After Mei Youcai demonstrated the power of these repeating crossbows to everyone using targets, he thought he had convinced Qin Ming.

But when he looked at Qin Ming, he was suddenly stunned.

"Teacher, please try this."

Qin Ming didn't even look at them at this time. Instead, he called Chen Shimao to his side, picked up a few pieces of food with his chopsticks, and asked Chen Shimao to taste it.

The two chatted about the origins and cooking methods of these ingredients, looking very happy.

He didn't care at all about the repeating crossbow that Hua Yunhong mentioned.

Even the guests present didn't care about this thing.

Hua Yunhong was a little angry and asked Qin Ming directly:

"Your Majesty, you haven't responded for such a long time that I don't even know the true level of our repeating crossbows. If Your Majesty is free, I hope you can give us some pointers so that we in the Shenmu Kingdom can learn from you."

What he meant was that Qin Ming did not respect them.

Qin Ming really doesn't need to respect him too much.

After hearing Hua Yunhong's words, he finally turned his head.

"Oh...a crossbow, huh?"

"It's a repeating crossbow, how about it?"

Hua Yunhong snorted coldly.

Glancing at the people around him.

At this time, Hua Yunhong suddenly found something wrong.

The envoys from the Western Regions and Western Shu all looked at him with strange expressions.

Many officials in the Daqian court did not look shocked at all.

On the contrary, they even looked a little...unable to hold back their laughter.

How is this going?

Just when he was confused, Qin Ming ignored Hua Yunhong and turned his attention to Wu Shizhong.

"Have you prepared any weapons?"

"Your Majesty, we've already sent for automatic rifles. They should be available from the barracks in less than half an hour. We'll then use these weapons to test the effectiveness of the Shenmu Kingdom's repeating crossbows."

Wu Shizhong has been very considerate. What he has said so far has only confirmed each other, rather than trying to crush the other party.

Duan Changfei was dissatisfied with their slow speed, so he shouted outside the hall.

"Heifu, what weapons did your troops bring today?"

Hei Fu walked into the hall and said respectfully to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, all we brought today were some rapid-fire muskets. We didn't bring any weapons with wide-area firepower."

"Then use this."

Qin Ming waved at them and prepared to take out a weapon at random.

Hua Yunhong was very disappointed with the first mechanical work of the Shenmu Kingdom that he showed him.

Before the show started, Qin Ming thought he was going to come up with something really cool to compete with him.

Who knew that what you took out was something you had already discarded a long time ago.

"it is good."

Heifu waved outside, and the soldiers below immediately came in carrying muskets.

Listening to their conversation, even if Hua Yunhong didn't know much about Daqian, he understood that he seemed to be looked down upon at the moment.

"Your Majesty, since this is a technical competition between our two countries, is this your attitude? I have produced one of the most advanced weapons of the Shenmu Kingdom!"

Hua Yunhong, feeling dissatisfied, immediately spoke to Qin Ming.

After hearing what he said, Qin Ming shook his head and said:

"The repeating crossbow is not as good as the repeating musket. This is enough for the Shenmu Kingdom to learn."

"What!?"

His words made Hua Yunhong and Mei Youcai frown!

Both of them were extremely angry. Qin Ming didn't take them seriously at all!

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country. How can you speak so frivolously?"

Qin Ming ignored him and waved to the two soldiers below, indicating that they could start shooting.

"Please move the target further away, maybe fifty feet."

The two soldiers said something to the guards next to them, and they immediately pushed the target that Hua Yunhong had just used back fifty feet.

"How could this be so far?"

Seeing that the opponent's effective attack range had exceeded his own, Hua Yunhong clenched his fists and looked dissatisfied.

Mei Youcai on the side suddenly said:

"Your Highness, I believe they are using some kind of powerful crossbow. However, the effectiveness of this crossbow is not very good. It can only fire a single arrow at a time before it is exhausted!"

With Mei Youcai's comfort, Hua Yunhong's face suddenly showed a proud look.

"Makes sense."

But it was too early for them to be happy.

Bang bang bang!
