Chapter 245

"First, your thinking has fallen into a misconception."

Jiang Yan said lightly.

"Why, when a flying boat, as an aerial combat vehicle, is designed, must it mount naval cannons intended for sea combat?"

"Naval cannons were designed specifically for operations on the sea surface."

"Ships themselves are cumbersome in water; although they can move fast in one direction, their maneuverability is inherently poor, so mounting naval cannons is very suitable."

"But a flying boat is different; you have seen its design drawings, and it is itself a very flexible aerial vehicle."

"What you should be thinking about is not how to mount naval cannons on a flying boat, but how to research a cannon that can be mass-equipped on a flying boat without affecting speed!"

Jiang Yan took a sip of tea and said loudly.

Lady Guizhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and even Lady Guizhong nodded.

Yes!

How had they not thought of modifying weapons?

Since mounting too many weapons makes it too heavy, then just find a way to reduce the weight of the weapons!

After Jiang Yan's reminder, Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer quickly realized what their development direction was.

Jiang Yan saw the two of them lost in thought, smiled and shook his head, picked up a Sunset Fruit from the table, and bit into it without even looking.

Caught off guard, Jiang Yan's face wrinkled from the sourness.

Damn! Is it never-ending?!

How is it another tooth-achingly sour Sunset Fruit again?!

Jiang Yan angrily threw the Sunset Fruit in his hand down the mountain.

Meanwhile, Song Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun said lightly with a smile:

"This Sunset Fruit isn't ripe yet; because it was picked too early, Cloud Retainer put it here intending to throw it away later."

"I didn't expect you to just eat it."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good; this time it was just a coincidence.

Otherwise, he would have thought he was hit by some buff.

Good, good...

After chatting with Song Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun for a while, seeing that Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer were still thinking and consulting with each other, Jiang Yan also decided not to stay here any longer.

"Alright, since you have ideas now, then Little Ganyu and I will withdraw first."

"I was just about to take her out to play when you called us over."

Jiang Yan stood up and shouted to the two who were thinking on the other side.

Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer seemed not to have heard, showing absolutely no reaction.

"Tsk tsk tsk, is this the state of a research maniac when thinking?"

Jiang Yan laughed heartily; he had experienced this state of Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer, and he believed it was a manifestation of being in a state of deep thought.

Generally, in this state, the speed of completing research will be much faster.

Jiang Yan did not disturb them further and said to Song Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun:

"Sister Ping, then I'll trouble you to look after them here."

"Mm-hmm, you two go play if you want to."

Song Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun nodded with a smile and waved at Jiang Yan.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan extended his hand to Little Ganyu and said with a smile:

"In that case, let's go!"

Little Ganyu nodded, stood up, and took Jiang Yan's hand.

The Rooster Talisman in Jiang Yan's mind suddenly lit up; Jiang Yan took Little Ganyu and soared into the air, flying together towards the distance.

Song Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun watched the two of them get farther and farther away until they were no longer visible, then turned to look at Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer, smiling and shaking her head.

"Sigh, these two people..."

Whether she was talking about Jiang Yan and the other or Lady Guizhong and the other was unknown; she was seen sitting cross-legged on a stone seat, extending her hand and beckoning.

A wooden zither appeared out of nowhere in her hand.

Afterwards, melodious zither music spread down Mount Aocang, long and lingering.

After leaving Mount Aocang, Jiang Yan took Little Ganyu to tour the mountains and waters.

When tired, he used Wood Release to make two lounge chairs to rest; when hungry, he found ingredients on the spot to cook.

Even in the end, Jiang Yan became too lazy to fly.

"Little Ganyu, wait here for me."

Jiang Yan patted Little Ganyu's little head and said.

Little Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan extended his right hand, and on his wrist, a coiled green little snake began to move.

"Come out! Apep!"

The Monkey Talisman in Jiang Yan's mind lit up, removing the restrictions on Apep.

Boom!

Huge dust clouds rose everywhere.

In Little Ganyu's shocked gaze, a colossal Apep, vast as a mountain range, appeared before her.

Little Ganyu could feel that the suddenly appearing green dragon before her eyes...

The moment she saw it, Little Ganyu could even feel her soul trembling continuously under its pressure.

That was the Long Wang's natural pressure over all living beings.

As a hybrid celestial beast, Little Ganyu felt it very clearly.

"This... this is..."

Little Ganyu's speech even stuttered.

"Ah... (of Zhao Zhao)... my pet, just like Jiang Xiaobai."

Jiang Yan came to Little Ganyu's side, then waved at Apep.

"Apep, come here."

"Big Brother!"

Apep lowered its head.

Long ago, when Jiang Yan subdued Apep, he had told it not to call him master, but to call him Big Brother instead.

"Hmm, this is your Big Sister-in-law; from now on, seeing her is the same as seeing me."

Jiang Yan said this to Apep.

"... Big Sister-in-law!"

Apep fell silent for a moment; although it very much wanted to ask Jiang Yan why Big Sister-in-law wasn't the Great Kindness Tree King, what Big Brother said went, and whoever Big Brother told it to call Big Sister-in-law was its Big Sister-in-law.

"Uh... y-you... hello, hero!"

Little Ganyu nodded blankly, but when she realized what Apep had called her, she did not refute it; her pretty face merely turned slightly red.

Just then, the earth began to trem violently.
