It is naturally good if someone can make gunpowder, but it is difficult to explain clearly the person who made gunpowder, Xu Renjie.
After all, Xue Qiang is currently a relatively sensitive name for the Xue family and the "Victors Alliance".
We both know that most of the Xue family are opposed to the alliance agreement.
But no one has ever taken it out and said it.
Even though Xu Renjie knew that Xue Qiang was the leading figure at the time, he never mentioned it.
Some things are good if you understand them psychologically. If you bring them up, instead of solving the problem, it will intensify it.
No matter what, Xue Qiang is still the son of old Xue and the younger brother of Xue Guo.
If there is preaching, it should be handled by the Xue family’s internal education.
As an outsider, Xu Renjie couldn't say much.
Therefore, at this stall, Xu Renjie just discussed the matter and did not mention Xue Qiang's name.
He himself did not know whether Xue Qiang was willing to help make gunpowder.
If we tell Xue Qiang's name directly now, if Xue Qiang doesn't want it later... it will be difficult to deal with Xue Guo being caught in the middle.
After hearing what Xu Renjie said, Xue Guo naturally knew who the other party was talking about.
He did not shy away and simply replied: "I will deal with the gunpowder matter as soon as possible. Don't worry about this, Old Xu."
Xu Renjie nodded.
Xue Guo trusted Xu Renjie, and Xu Renjie also trusted Xue Guo.
Although Lao Xu also knew that persuading Xue Qiang was a difficult problem, after all, Xue Qiang was also Xue Guo's younger brother.
It is difficult for outsiders like them to persuade, so it should not be a big problem for Xue Guo to take action.
Gunpowder production is a very important part of bullet production, and it is also a safety-related part. It must be done by knowledgeable people.
"Sure, then I'll trouble you, Xue Guo." Xu Renjie replied casually.
The car returned to the villa without any problems.
Lao Xue was a little anxious waiting at home.
Although he, an old father, remained calm on the outside, his detailed actions of constantly getting up and pacing back and forth revealed his inner anxiety.
Why don't you be anxious? After all, Xue Guo is going with the team this time.
The importance of his son to him and to this family is self-evident.
Lao Xue was not only worried about his son's safety, but also worried about the lives of Xu Renjie and his group.
If there is a crisis outside, there are pros and cons. No matter who is injured or frustrated, it will be an unacceptable tragedy.
In addition, Xu Renjie and his team went out with an important mission this time.
Whether the task can be completed successfully is also something Lao Xue cares about mentally.
These few things are stacked together... Do you think Lao Xue can sit still?
For this reason, Xue Jia even comforted him a few words at first.
However, after Lao Xue retorted, Xue Jia stopped trying to persuade him.
He knew very well what his father was like.
My father is a person who cares about face very much.
Since he didn't want people to think he was worried... Xue Jia stopped talking so as not to make the old man angry.
As for Xue Jia...she was also worried about her elder brother Xue's overseas trip.
However, Xue Jia was busy with dinner-related matters and did not have much time to think too much.
The convoy returned to the villa, and Lao Xue ran to the door to greet them as expected.
For Lao Xue, the first concern is naturally whether the team members return safely.
After the team members got off the bus, he glanced at them and counted the number of people.
After confirming the number of people and departure time, Lao Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Xue Guo saw his father's actions and immediately stepped forward and responded: "Dad, this trip went well."
After hearing his son's answer, Lao Xue nodded: "Oh, that's it. As long as it goes well. So what...has the mold been made?"
At this time, Lao Xue's second concern was after safety issues.
Xue Guo followed up: "It was made and the finished product was tested. It was very successful."
After Xue Guo finished speaking, a smile finally appeared on Old Xue Suran's face for a long time: "Yeah, oh, this mold was made by... Xiao Li, right?"
Lao Xue looked at Li Zhong.
Xu Renjie has introduced this before. Li Zhong came here this time to make molds.
Being named by Lao Xue like this, Li Zhong was both proud and ashamed.
What he is proud of is that... he made the mold smoothly, and now having Lao Xue praise him by name can be regarded as a shame for the team.
As for being shy, Li Zhong himself didn't think there was anything great about making molds.
Compared with the things he developed for the "League of Victors" team in the past...it pales in comparison and is not on the same level as this.
"Yes, dad, this mold development was completed by Li Zhong alone." Xue Guo responded.
Lao Xue patted Li Zhong on the shoulder, as if a leader was meeting to commend the advanced personnel below.
Lao Xue immediately said: "Okay, Xiao Li. There is a shortage of technical talents these days. Lao Xu and your team are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons. Oops, look at my house...a bunch of idle, lazy people. I If the Xue family could have Lao Xu and your team members, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
In contrast, Lao Xue scolded his own family again.
Objectively speaking, Lao Xue's scolding is really not a big problem.
There is indeed a big problem leaving the Xue family aside.
The number of the entire Xue family is actually not that small, but there are not many who actually do things.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Xue family for not doing things, it is mainly due to their own survival strategies.
The survival strategy formulated by the Xue family is to use the villa as a fortress and be self-sufficient in the fortress, intending to isolate themselves from the outside world in this way.
There is nothing wrong with the idea itself, but the problem is... there are too many people. Although the villa does provide its own supplies, it is still difficult to rely on the things grown in the villa to feed the people inside...
The Xue family did not send personnel out to collect supplies for safety reasons.
For a long time, the Xue family lived in a comfortable environment and did not go to the abandoned city to exercise. Naturally, they were out of touch with the apocalypse.
They lived a safe life in the last days and have survived until now.
But in the long run, this is very dangerous and disadvantageous.
As the saying goes, people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. What our ancestors said still makes some sense.
The Xue family is currently facing such a problem... The family is in short supply of supplies, but when faced with such a crisis, only Xue Guo has the ability to go out and collect supplies.
This is also the fundamental reason why Lao Xue is now envious of the "Victors Alliance" team's talent pool in front of Xu Renjie and his party, and complains that his Xue family is useless.
The reason why the "Victors Alliance" team is full of talents and everyone has outstanding abilities...this is not something they picked up for nothing.
Many members of the "Victors Alliance" team were engaged in ordinary jobs before the apocalypse. Their current abilities were acquired through bloodshed and struggle in the apocalypse.
The "Victors Alliance" team is what it is today because many brothers sacrificed their lives to make it happen. This is completely different from the Xue family who have been living peacefully in one-third of an acre in the villa.
