Alien King

Chapter 5

Thoughts were flooding on the grand teacher's chair for a while, Ye Tian put away his thoughts and got up.

Opening the cabinet, I found a pile of rice paper, and randomly searched for some square or round things.

Spread the rice paper on the square table in the middle of the house, pick up the small letters on the end of the rope, and start drawing pictures with those square or round objects.

The sun has finally set and the moon is gradually hanging in the sky.

Ye Tian lit a candle, thinking like rivers and oceans, plunged into the drawings on the square table, neither eating nor sleeping.

A whole night passed, and when the sky turned slightly white, Ye Tian stared at blood-red eyes, picked up a stack of drawings on the table, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and said to himself: "It's finally finished."

Out of Yuhu Xiyuan, within a hundred meters, is the famous snack street in the capital.

After eating two cages of soup dumplings on the snack street, and drinking a bowl of secret paste soup, he burped beautifully, Ye Tian touched his slightly round belly, and paid the bill with satisfaction.

With a large pile of drawings in his arms, Ye Tian came to the palace gate and attended the morning court as usual.

Eunuch Li, the emperor's close attendant eunuch, let out a long hiss, and all the ministers filed in and entered the Qinzheng Hall.Before the emperor arrived in the hall, all the ministers stood in the Qinzheng Hall, gathered in twos and threes, and discussed with each other.

Song Yuzhe came a little late, panting slightly, trotted all the way to Ye Tian's side, and saw a large pile of drawings wrapped under Ye Tian's waist.Then he stretched out his finger and pointed to the blueprint, and asked, "This is the pulley steel crossbow?"

Ye Tian nodded with a smile, unfolded the drawing slowly, and handed it to Song Yuzhe.

Song Yuzhe took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The expression on his face was surprised and thoughtful for a while, puzzled for a while and relieved. The hands holding the blueprint trembled slightly.

The emperor came slowly, sat on the dragon chair in the middle, took a sip of the green tea served by Eunuch Li, and said slowly: "I have something to play."

Song Yuzhe knelt on the ground with a "slap", and said in a hoarse voice: "Blessed is the emperor, blessed is the empire."

The emperor hadn't swallowed a sip of tea, but when he heard Song Yuzhe howl, the tea in his mouth almost didn't spit out.

Ye Tian was the closest to Song Yuzhe, and was taken aback by him.

At this time, the officials of the Government Affairs Council on the left looked at Song Yuzhe with a hint of ridicule.The generals of the Military Affairs Academy on the right also showed contempt on their faces.

The emperor tried his best to clear his throat, and said, "President Song, why am I blessed, why is the empire blessed? Let's hear it."

Song Yuzhe raised the blueprint in his hand and said loudly: "President Ye is a natural genius. He has designed a pulley-type steel crossbow. After reading the blueprint, I am sure that it can restrain the Eka longbow."

"Oh?" The emperor put the tea bowl, stood up, and said, "President Song, are you serious? What kind of crossbow does Ye Qing have, can it really restrain the Eka longbow?"

"The minister is willing to guarantee the head of the item." Song Yuzhe bowed and fell to the ground.

At this time, the mockery in the eyes of the officials of the Government Affairs Council became stronger; the expressions of contempt on the faces of the generals of the Military Affairs Council also became more apparent.

An old man who only knows how to make clocks, watches and farm implements and is about to be buried in the ground suddenly acted out such a play on a whim, maybe he is dying and confused.

The emperor was also a little hesitant, turned his gaze to Ye Tian, ​​and asked, "Ye Qing, as President Song said, what kind of round and crossbow of yours can really restrain the Eka longbow?"

Ye Tian was a little embarrassed, first he stretched out his hand to help Song Yuzhe up, and then bowed his head and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, this pulley-type steel crossbow has indeed been designed, but there is no finished product test yet, and the first factory of the Royal Trade Union is still needed. When making a bow, you will know whether you can restrain the Eka longbow after you have a finished product and try it out."

The emperor nodded: "Okay, pass the decree, the first manufacturing factory of the Royal Trade Union, stop all ordnance production, and make all-out efforts to manufacture pulley-type steel crossbows. After three days, I will personally watch the test firing."

Royal Union, First Manufactory.

As a factory supervisor, Ruan Ji devoted almost all of his talent and energy to the design and manufacture of bows and arrows.The military has always praised the bows and arrows produced by the first factory.

President Song is old now. For so many years, the empire has not produced outstanding craftsmen with both design creativity and manufacturing technology.According to the old customs, once Chairman Song resigned, he, the supervisor, would naturally be promoted to replace the chairman.The worst thing is to give it to a vice-chairman to take charge of the work of the first manufacturing plant, and wait for a few years before rectifying it, so as to stop the mouths of the ministers in the palace.

At this time, Ruan Ji gently stroked a spinning wheel in the middle of the room with his hands.

That was last year, when the Sixth Army of the Empire confronted the Barrow border guards. At the request of the military, he presided over the design and manufacture of the pedal bow.

The biggest feature of this bow is that four people work together, stepping on all eight feet together, and can shoot iron arrows weighing a hundred catties.The war elephant group of the Barrow Empire, which was showing off its power in the south and sweeping through the jungle, was shot by this foot, and its vitality was severely injured from then on, and it could not fight again within ten years.

Ruan Ji smiled slightly, and in his eyes, there was a burst of pride and pride from the heart.

Pedal bow, divine arm bow, serial crossbow, fire dragon crossbow, Ruan Ji looked at each of the crossbows hanging on the wall, the crystallization of his talent and wisdom condensed on them.

He had a strong affection for the Royal Union and the First Manufactory that no one else had.

However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a man suddenly jumped out.With a word from the emperor, this person became the new vice president.

Alas, with a soft sigh, Ruan Ji's eyes dimmed slightly.

Without background, connections, and appreciation from the emperor, how could he become the president of the Royal Trade Union.Ruan Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, it is better to stop thinking about it and concentrate on making bows and arrows.

However, after all, there was a haze shrouded in his heart, and the face of that fair-looking young man was always shining in front of Ruan Ji's eyes.

Judging from his appearance, this person definitely does not look like a sinister and cunning person.But as soon as he took office, he showed a strong desire to intervene in specific design and manufacturing, which filled Ruan Ji's heart with a sense of sadness.

Ruan Ji has a clear understanding of his technical talent, and he does not have overly inflated self-confidence.

However, for so many years, he has seen countless young people who reported to report with letters of recommendation from various military and political departments, claiming to be quite talented but performing mediocrely. Craftsman of manufacturing technology.

However, no matter who is the chairman, as long as he does not directly intervene in the design and manufacture of bows and arrows, and ensures that his designs and ideas can be implemented, he will naturally retreat and concentrate on making his bows and making his arrows.

But if the new president doesn't understand design and technology, but insists on intervening in specific design and manufacturing, interfering with his design ideas and hindering his manufacturing process, as a supervisor, how can he not worry about Zhong Zhong? , anxious.

His feelings for the Royal Trade Union and the No. [-] Manufacturing Factory are beyond the comprehension and understanding of others.

After thinking about it, Ruan Ji's eyes gradually became firmer, looking straight at the plane tree outside the window, and whispered to himself: "Even if you are well appreciated by the emperor, even if you have a strong background, but for the Royal Trade Union, for the No. For the soldiers who fought bloody battles at the border, I must fight with you to the end."

At this moment, there was a hiss from outside the gate: "The imperial decree has arrived."

In the workshop lobby, the craftsmen of the first manufacturing factory knelt on the ground in unison.Ruan Ji knelt in front of the row, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the expressionless Eunuch Li, and then at Song Yuzhe and Ye Tian beside him.

"The emperor has decreed that the No. [-] Manufacturing Factory of the Royal Labor Union stop all ordnance production and fully cooperate with President Ye. Within three days, the pulley-type steel crossbow will be made into a finished product. After three days, the emperor will go to the school grounds to watch the test firing in person. .”

Everyone shouted long live, only Ruan Ji frowned slightly.

Qushu next to him whispered: "This Ye Tian really has won the holy family."

After reading the imperial decree, Eunuch Li greeted Song Yuzhe and Ye Tian, ​​and then went back to the palace.

Song Yuzhe pointed at Ruan Ji, and said to Ye Tian: "You are not very familiar with the craftsmen in the factory, just let Ruan Ji arrange the specific matters. Your drawing is very complicated, and ordinary craftsmen may not be able to understand it. Assigning jobs is difficult. You tell Ruan Ji first, as long as he understands, then let him assign jobs to craftsmen, it will be much easier."

Ye Tian nodded, spread the drawings in his hand on the stone table, and said to Ruan Ji, "Okay, let me talk about the first drawing first."

On Ruan Ji's face, there was a faint look of disdain, and he walked to the stone table.However, when his eyes touched the drawings on the table, he was slightly taken aback.He had never seen such a complicated design drawing, and those lines, no matter if they were straight lines or arcs, had rules and regulations. Although the whole drawing looked complicated, it was not chaotic at all, and it was quite organized.

Gathering his attention, Ruan Ji began to listen carefully to Ye Tian's explanation.

The craftsmen also surrounded the temporary lecture table, and although they couldn't understand Ye Tian's courses, the craftsmen who were able to enter the No. [-] Manufacturing Factory of the Royal Trade Union were not ordinary people. Thinking about Ye Tian's words.

This lecture lasted half a day.When the sun was setting towards the west in the evening, Ye Tian finally finished talking about the last picture.

Some of the craftsmen had a lot of experience, and they thought about Ye Tian's explanation with great interest, and some of them were already drowsy, and ran home as soon as the get out of class was over.

Ruan Ji stood there, his mind still immersed in the basic physical phenomena and formulas explained by Ye Tian.It's just that at this moment, the trace of disdain in his eyes has long been replaced by shock.

Trying to regain his senses, Ruan Ji looked at Ye Tian and said seriously: "President Ye, you have taught me a lot of knowledge. I still can't understand it for a while. Can I take this blueprint home and study it at night?" Research."

Ye Tian smiled and said: "Of course, President Song has said it all. I have to let you understand before I can assign work to the workers."

Ruan Ji lowered his head and smiled, with a slightly apologetic expression, picked up the blueprint and turned to leave.

Back home, Ruan Ji didn't care about eating, and plunged into the drawings.

Thinking back to the formulas and theorems that Ye Tian said during the day, Ruan Ji took out the paper and pen, and turned out the design drawings of the bows and arrows he had designed before. While comparing the lines on the drawings, he carefully calculated and verified He followed those unheard-of formulas and theorems that Ye Tian said.

The night passed quickly.

When a red sun rose in the east, Ruan Ji finally got out of the blueprint, opened the door with blood-red eyes, looked up at the red sun, and said with a sigh: "It's really a miracle! .”
