Of course, these two characters alone are not enough to describe this thing. Besides its majesty, Your Majesty is pondering further."
At this moment, the young Emperor, with his chin propped on his hand, started to stand there, slowly pondering, while also thinking about what it should be named.
After pondering for a long while, suddenly the young Emperor’s eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and declared:
"Got it! Heaven and earth, Qiankun, encompass all things under the sky.
This device is truly heaven-sent, thus I have decided to select one of the characters from Qiankun, how about Kun! How does Weiwu Kun sound?"
As soon as these words were uttered, Lin Yi stood there coughing repeatedly.
Goodness, Your Majesty, your train of thought is impressively wild; now I’m beginning to suspect whether you too have time traveled from the future like me?
Goodness, first it was because of Qian (leading to Qiankun), now it’s Kun.
Isn’t that all the same thing?
You really seem inseparable from this device.
Of course, although that’s what he thought, he couldn’t let it show on his face.
After all, the other party is the young Emperor, so one should save some face for him, shouldn’t they?
Moreover, the reason I handed over the naming rights to him was entirely to make my woman thrilled and to make the young Emperor happy.
And so, since he is willing to call it whatever, then whatever it is, shall be good enough.
However, just this single character Kun, why does it sound somewhat like a curse?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Permit me to interrupt. Heaven and earth, Qiankun, is a complete phrase, how can we just separate a single character? In my opinion, how about we call it the Majestic Qiankun Cannon?"
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the young Emperor also furrowed his brow to think, and after a moment, he nodded his head in agreement.
"Alright then, let’s go with your suggestion, and we’ll call it the Majestic Qiankun Cannon.
Now bring me two more shots, I want to see its power."
In the following time, the young Emperor became addicted; the shots were fired one after another without stop.
In this valley, from time to time, there was the rumbling sound of cannon fire echoing.
In short, the blasts scared all the nearby wild beasts into fleeing deep into the mountains.
Looking again at the young Emperor in the training ground, he was tirelessly amused.
And looking at the little mound behind the training ground, it had now suffered a misfortune and was already riddled with holes.
Had it not been for the limited ammunition, the young Emperor would have kept firing the cannon until dawn.
Even so, after firing more than a dozen shots, the young Emperor was still reluctant to stop and personally loaded a shot and lit the fuse.
In conclusion, by the end, the cannon had become faintly red, and as Lin Yi slightly approached it, he could already feel a strong wave of heat hitting him.
This sufficiently demonstrated that the cannon had reached its critical point of damage; if fired any more, the rifling in the barrel would likely wear out.
That’s right, though the cannon was very crude and primitive, to make it more accurate and to increase its range, Lin Yi had particularly asked craftsmen to carve grooves of rifling inside the barrel.
Although such rifling could not compare with those of the future, they still represented a remarkable achievement.
And now, if there was meat available, one could just put it on the barrel and directly fry it for consumption.
In this way, it was actually a good test to gauge the cannon’s power and its durability.
When the Emperor had tried firing five or six shots, Lin Yi had also had the group of craftsmen who made the cannon brought over to stand by and watch, and had them record various data.
After all, such high-intensity test firing was being done for the first time; previously, only two or three shots had been fired.
That’s why, in this way, it would be better to understand the limits of the cannon.
"Hahaha, this is truly a great thing, so exhilarating.
Didn’t expect it to have such tremendous power, good! It pleases me greatly!
Lin Yi, you scoundrel, you have not disappointed me, hahaha, I shall reward you handsomely."
Hearing this, Lin Yi’s mouth curled up into a sly smile, his gaze wandering non-stop over the young Emperor.
"Hehe, I wonder how Your Majesty intends to reward me? Although my mansion has not been built yet, the mansion I’m currently using is quite comfortable.
Especially where I rest, it is very nice. I have even specially had a very comfortable mattress made by craftsmen.
Maybe Your Majesty would like to go test it out personally?"
What a scoundrel meant, the young Emperor understood all too clearly.
The remark immediately made the young Emperor’s face turn slightly red.
"Hmph, you scoundrel, save your glib talk. If you’ve got the guts, try to compete with me properly.
If today I don’t beat you so badly that you’re down and out, then I will leave you to your own devices..."
"Your Majesty, those are your words, of course. You cannot seek help."
After saying this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but crack his knuckles, showing an eager look:
"Hehe, right, there is a great spot within this military base."
One sentence immediately piqued the interest of the young Emperor, who was already blushing, and he asked with curiosity:
"Oh? What is this great place? Take me to see."
"Alrighty, let me describe it to you first."
