"Hey, Mr. Lu, long time no see!"
Yang Dong smiled and cupped his hands.
"Tell me, come to me, are you looking for anything new?"
"The boiling water thing you talked about last time is indeed an interesting thing, but it's a pity... I haven't found materials corresponding to the strength until now. I sent many people to Yunzhou, but they found nothing. .”
"If Yunzhou goes further south, it will be full of miasma, and it is impossible for human beings to set foot on it."
Yang Dong thought for a moment. After all, he had only seen steam engines in history books.
However, this did not prevent him from pointing out a general idea.
"Mr. Lu, have you ever thought about another method? If you make a separate cylinder, separate the steam and introduce it into the cylinder..."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he jumped up from the recliner. His eyes widened and he started dancing.
"Yang Dong, you are really a genius!"
"How did you come up with such a wonderful idea?"
"But if it is driven by a cylinder alone, how can it output stable energy?"
Mr. Lu scratched his gray hair and stared at Yang Dong, as if staring at a rare treasure.
"Have you ever heard of piston movement, Mr. Lu?"
Under Yang Dong's simple explanation, Mr. Lu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
If Yang Dong hadn't been there at this moment, he would have even wanted to roll up his sleeves and go to the workshop to try it out.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, is there any recent progress in firearms?"
Mr. Lu nodded lightly.
"With my research and development, the strength of Dazhou's steel has increased several times, and it can already meet your previous assumptions."
"It's a pity that the accuracy is not enough, so it cannot be pierced with an arrow from a hundred steps away as you described."
Speaking of this, Mr. Lu slapped his forehead and immediately recruited an apprentice and said:
"You, go and get the treasure I made myself earlier!"
After hearing this, the apprentice quickly fetched a wooden box from an iron shelf.
Mr. Lu handed the wooden box to Yang Dong and said calmly:
"Although firearms have not been made, I have discovered another use for gunpowder."
"Gunpowder is extremely explosive in a short period of time. If it is supplemented with sharp weapons such as steel balls, it can cause huge damage in an instant."
"I've tried it. This lethality, if encountered head-on, could kill even a great martial artist."
When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
A thing that can hurt a great martial artist is a rare treasure.
He is now at the level of a great martial artist. In his eyes, the so-called magical weapons in the world can no longer hurt him in the slightest.
Now that there is such a magical thing, I think Mr. Lu has put a lot of thought into it.
Yang Dong immediately opened the wooden box, but the next second, the expression on his face suddenly froze.
In the wooden box, lying quietly is a triangular-like object made of a single piece of steel.
At the very front of it is a dark hole.
Although the appearance was completely different from the object in his mind, Yang Dong recognized it immediately.
This guy seems to be a troll!
On the other side, Mr. Lu began to proudly tell Yang Dong the specific method of use.
After about half an hour, Yang Dong finally mastered its usage.
Actually, it's not that difficult, but it just takes too long to use.
The specific operations are somewhat similar to the earliest flintlock guns. Perhaps when technology develops to a certain extent, there will always be certain similarities.
After telling Mr. Lu some of the ideas in his mind, Yang Dong turned around and left the Lenggong Manufacturing Factory.
When he returned to the small building in Xichang, he suddenly felt a resentful look.
Yang Dong opened his mouth, and the next moment, Yao Jia flew into Yang Dong's arms like a baby swallow.
"Mr. Yang, why don't you take Xiaojia by your side to serve you these days, but are you disgusted with the slave family?"
Looking at those big watery eyes, Yang Dong looked as tender as water at the moment.
He patted Yao Jia's back helplessly and comforted softly:
"Silly girl, something happened in the capital a few days ago. I took you with me because I was worried about your safety, so I left you in the army. Only in this way will I not have any worries."
Hearing this, Yao Jia's big watery eyes began to turn red.
"But, but..."
"Mr. Yang, do you know? I just want to be by Gong Yang's side. Even if there is danger, I am not afraid!"
As she spoke, her pretty face turned red.
Yang Dong chuckled and knocked her on the forehead with his backhand.
"Silly girl, what's there to think about?"
"Well, since you are so reluctant to leave me, then go with me on this long trip."
"ah??"
Yao Jia opened her mouth, a flash of surprise in her eyes.
"Mr. Yang, didn't you just return to the capital not long ago? Why are you traveling so far away in such a hurry?"
"Hey, you think I am willing."
Yang Dong sighed softly, and then said again:
"But the current situation in Dazhou is that there are not many people who can do things. As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard, but there is no other way. Your Mr. Yang is just too good."
"Yeah, Mr. Yang is the best!"
Yao Jia immediately nodded her head and looked at Yang Dong, her eyes filled with little stars.
Yang Dong sighed helplessly,
This girl looks like she is terminally ill.
…
Leaning tiredly on his golden nanmu chair,
Yang Dong glanced past the window and looked at the sky in the distance, silent for a long time.
I don't know when, he actually fell asleep gently.
Yang Dong slept deeply. In fact, he had been in a state of mental stress for many days.
After all, facing an old fox like Lin Chunqiu, any negligence may lead to a total loss.
Although he won the game in the end, there were also many surprises.
Just when Yang Dong was sleeping and thinking, his body trembled suddenly and he woke up.
The next moment, the scene in front of him changed drastically!
The capital city of Dazhou was actually surrounded by blazing fire!
The sky is fiery red! People's cries and calls for help can be heard everywhere.
Yang Dong watched with his own eyes as a burning beam fell down and hit a woman holding a baby in her arms.
He wanted to save people, but found that the burning beams passed through his hands easily.
Could this be a dream?
Yang Dong frowned and began to carefully look at the surrounding environment.
At this moment, his pupils condensed slightly.
At the top of his line of sight, there was a monster several feet tall, massacring the people who were escaping in a hurry.
What are those... exactly?
Yang Dong frowned. Based on his understanding of Dazhou, such a monster has never appeared in this land.
