In the room, Zhao Douan faced the Empress's sharp gaze, expressionless, though a parade of thoughts ran through his mind.
It wasn't that he couldn't or didn't want to share the methods of firearms research with Xu Zhenguan.
The high-end stuff was beyond reach, but some basic knowledge, whether from library books or online databases, was accessible.

Given the current industrial level of Yu Country, the new firearms he designed were already the best solution. To create more powerful weapons, an entire industrial chain was needed, something that couldn't be elevated in a short time.
"The confidentiality level of those things is very high. With my abilities, I can't access them," Zhao Douan thought for a moment and gave a reasonable explanation.
The Empress paused, then the heat in her heart cooled significantly.
She did not doubt it, as logically, this was reasonable.
