Princess Kunxing's glasses are very thick, the lenses are half an inch, and her elegant appearance slightly spoils the beauty after wearing this thing, which may be the reason why she is reluctant to wear glasses.

Xu Mingwu coughed dryly, bowed slightly, smiled embarrassedly but politely, and said, "The minister has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

Now he has the title of "academician", and in the Ming Dynasty, which attaches importance to scientific researchers, he is equivalent to the five-rank official body of the imperial court.

The eldest princess of Kunxing, Zhu Yujiao, was also a little embarrassed, but after a while, her expression returned to normal, and the blush on her face slowly disappeared, she put on an experienced smile and asked, "Xu Mingwu...... You've been here all along? ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the minister has always ......been here," Xu Mingwu was embarrassed and replied stubbornly.

The eldest princess was upset and asked, "Then why don't you salute this princess?" Sitting there like a human? Defying royalty? ”

Xu Mingwu is blind, sure enough, a woman turns her face faster than a book!

He mustered up the courage to say: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you misunderstood, how dare the minister be disrespectful to His Royal Highness, the minister heard that the eldest princess is only one year younger than His Majesty, and suddenly saw a young and beautiful woman come in, thinking that it was His Royal Highness's secretary assistant, or the little palace maid who served His Royal Highness, I never imagined that the beautiful girl who seemed to be only twenty years old was actually the eldest princess, Your Royal Highness, and the minister was not good-looking, and offended His Royal Highness, and the crime deserved death......"

As he spoke, Xu Mingwu's face was full of self-blame.

Hearing this, the eldest princess was stunned at first, and then covered her mouth and giggled: "The virtuous nephew is really good at talking." ”

Xu Mingwu smiled harmlessly, and replied: "What the minister said, every sentence is the words of the heart, His Royal Highness is as light as a chrysanthemum, dignified in appearance, the country is fragrant, the beauty is natural, the elegance is peerless, the hibiscus is not as good as the beauty makeup, and the water hall is as fragrant as the pearl and the green fragrance......"

The eldest princess raised her hand to stop, and said with a slight smile: "This palace has been in the courtyard for many years, and there are many wizards I have met, and even more so those with eccentric temperaments, and the virtuous nephew is very clever, and his tongue is as bright as a lotus, which is really rare, sit down!" ”

Xu Mingwu smiled awkwardly, and secretly said that this eldest princess is really a smart person, it's not easy to fool, but fortunately, the effect has almost been achieved.

After such a mediation, the eldest princess's embarrassment was completely put down, and she was in a good mood.

Women like to be praised for being young and beautiful, especially middle-aged women, who are more eager for this.

The eldest princess of Daming, who usually dares to praise her beauty in person, Xu Mingwu's sassy words directly filled the effect! The two sides unconsciously established a good rapport.

The eldest princess sat in the middle of the sofa, Xu Mingwu sat in the corner next to the sofa, the more she looked at this young man, the more pleasing she was, and asked with a smile: "I have seen your hot air balloon show, the virtuous nephew dares to ascend to the sky, it can be said that he is both wise and brave, and the Royal Academy of Sciences needs talents like you!" ”

Xu Mingwu stood up and saluted respectfully: "The minister has thanked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for her praise, and the minister will make persistent efforts to win glory for His Royal Highness and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The eldest princess pressed her right hand and said gently: "Virtuous nephew, sit down and talk, the Royal Academy of Sciences here doesn't pay attention to the rules outside, you can treat this palace as an elder, relax a little." ”

"Yes......"

Xu Mingwu is secretly happy, the eldest princess's personality is really good, Princess Zhaoyang has a play!

The eldest princess Kunxing seemed to be very interested in the hot air balloon, and discussed a lot with Xu Mingwu, who was both drawing and explaining, and even extended to the idea of an airplane.

In addition to talking about hot air balloons and airplanes, Xu Mingwu talked about electric lights and batteries on the scene.

According to his suspicion, the eldest princess's eyes were highly short-sighted, perhaps caused by the bad light of this immature electric lamp......

These thoughts surprised the eldest princess, and she looked at this talented "virtuous nephew" even more differently.

"Virtuous nephew, this palace called you today, because there is a task entrusted to you."

"Your Highness, please say, as long as it is the task you assigned, the ministers will do their best to complete it!" Xu Mingwu patted his chest and promised.

The eldest princess smiled slightly: "This morning, the palace has just received the will of His Majesty, so that the Royal Academy of Sciences will build a hundred hot air balloons within a month and transport them to the front line in Myanmar. ”

"Your Highness, is there a war on the Burmese side?" Xu Mingwu said curiously.

The eldest princess hesitated slightly, and said without changing her face: "Yes, the king of Burma, Mangbai, invited Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, and the officials of Yunnan to drink the curse water on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, in order to show that the two countries are friendly again, and the Duke of Qianguo did not know that there was a fraud in it, so he went to the appointment, but he did not expect to be surrounded by three thousand Burmese regiments in Burma, and more than 30 officials of the Southern Army Governor's Office were killed......."

"What?" Xu Mingwu stood up suddenly, stared at the eldest princess and said, "Then is there anything wrong with my brother?" ”

He suddenly remembered the difficulty of spelling water in history! The Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty was served by the Burmese army!

After the Burmese army murdered the Ming family servants, they rushed into the residence of the Yongli monarch and the ministers to loot the property and women, and gathered 25 people, including the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, in a hut, and insulted the rest of the personnel and the families of the subordinate officials.

Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang's Liu, Yang Er's nobles, King Ji and concubines and other more than 100 people hanged themselves, Yongli court station is a mess, corpses are all over the place, shocking, called "cursed water difficulty".

"These shitty Burmese!"

Xu Mingwu was so anxious that he was sweating, his fists were clenched, and he was very worried about the safety of his brother Xu Mingde.

The eldest princess comforted gently: "According to the report of the Southern Military Governor's Mansion, your brother Xu Mingde escorted Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, out of the siege, and his whereabouts are still unknown, so it should be no ........"

Xu Mingwu's face was anxious, still not at ease, and he bowed deeply to the eldest princess and said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please enter Burma, I hope that Your Highness will intercede with Your Majesty, and the quasi-ministers will go to ......."

Princess Kunxing said: "What's the use of you going, Your Majesty asked you to step up the production of hot air balloons, just to send troops to Burma and reduce the casualties of our army, you should focus on here, and let the front-line soldiers go to the war." ”

"Minister...... Compliance ......"

Xu Mingwu's eyes were gloomy, and he immediately retreated.

Along the way, he paid homage to the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Burmese king Mangbai, and vowed to build a hot air balloon as soon as possible to blow up this group of dogs!

And Gatling, such a national shame, it takes this murderous weapon to slaughter the Burmese army in order to be disgraced!

In the following period, Xu Mingwu changed his lazy state and went to the military factory under the direct jurisdiction of the Royal Academy of Sciences during the day to supervise the manufacture of hot air balloons.

In the evening, he went into the research room, and together with several major military industry academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he made every effort to overcome the technical difficulties of copper bullets.

Xu Mingwu's serious hard work and tenacious research spirit were deeply appreciated by several academicians, and even Vice President Sun Heding heard the news and participated in the plan to study bullets.

As the leader of Daming's military research and the addition of Sun Heding, a firearms research leader, the research project of Daming bullets has been strengthened and progressed rapidly.

In less than a month, the world's first copper bullet came out at the Daming Royal Academy of Sciences!
