Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

In the dim basement, Lei Ming and Chris looked at each other, looking at Su Zheng who was busy in front of them suspiciously.

After Su Zheng came back, he took the fake gold mine he brought back to the basement, until in the middle of the night, he suddenly called the two over, saying that something that crossed the era was about to be born.

"Alright, alright, alright... It's done..."

Su Zheng took a deep breath and wrapped a ball of black powder in paper, revealing a lead wrapped in nitrate.

Su Zheng was careful with every step of the operation, and touched the wet towel at every step to prevent static electricity.

Su Zheng first showed the gunpowder ball in his hand to Chris and Lei Ming at close range. Then it was placed on the table. After lighting the fuse, he quickly pulled Chris and Thunder into the corner of the wall.

The spark that burns with the lead ignites the gunpowder....

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion directly stunned Chris and Lei Ming.

"Hahaha!"

Su Zhengze laughed and clapped his hands, the explosion just now marked that this world will enter a new era! What will greet this world will be a brilliant and brilliant future!

Chris and Lei Ming were stunned in place, they were very smart, and doubts only occupied a small part of their current emotions.

They had realized that this was the power created by Su Zheng, the power created by a mortal!

Shocked, excited, indescribably excited...

Although the power of this small powder blob explosion was far less powerful than the fire magic they had seen unleashed by the flame magician, it was created by mortals without relying on magic, and it was enough to match the power of magic!

The Holy Lord and Goddess are above, this is simply ...... It's magic..."

Chris couldn't describe it, he knew it wasn't magic, but he really didn't know how to describe it except magic.

"No, Chris... This is technology, wisdom, human wisdom... Or rather, the wisdom of mortals!" Su

Zheng said with a smile.

Hearing Su Zheng's words, Chris and Lei Ming muttered in unison:

"Technology... "

We can use it as a weapon!"

"Weapon... Ah, cannon, artillery!"

Chris reacted immediately, Su Zheng was still selling Guan Zi that day, he went back to ponder all night, and he didn't know what the iron bucket was for, and now he suddenly realized, and then thought of the solid stone pill and iron pill that Su Zheng made him, his hands trembled.

"If you use more of it, the power generated by the explosion can blow the stone out..."

Thunder said as he crouched down to pick up the confetti in front of him.

"Shhhh How can you think of this!"

His words shocked Su Zheng, this world doesn't even have gunpowder, let alone weapons made from gunpowder, and there are no weapons with similar principles in magic weapons. But when he saw the gunpowder explode, he thought of how to use him as a weapon!"

"Oh, Your Highness, in the early years, I saw the magician use the fire ball to attack, and the explosion of stones was far away, plus I just saw the confetti that exploded when it exploded, and I thought again..."

Well, you're right, we can make a long cylinder out of iron, leave only a mouth facing forward, fill it with more gunpowder and ignite it, and the power of the gunpowder when it explodes instantly will burst out in one direction, at this time..."

Hearing this, Lei Ming and Chris both took a deep breath and looked at Su Zheng with adoring eyes.

"Your Highness the City Lord, your wisdom is really great! The Holy Lord Goddess is above, it must be the Holy Lord Goddess who has endowed you with her wisdom, so that you can lead us mortals to express our dissatisfaction with the magician! You are the great messenger of the Holy Lord Goddess! Mortals will rise!"

Chris said excitedly, and he was a little embarrassed to be praised by Chris like this.

Lei Ming patted Chris on the shoulder and

said, "I doubt the existence of the Holy Lord Goddess, but I think what you said makes sense, at least it will definitely be so! In the future, mortals will have the power to resist the magician

!" "Haha, you clever heretic, if you say this in the wizarding world, you will definitely be hanged, hahahaha

" "Mr. Chris, even if the Holy Lord Goddess really exists, then she is too favoritistic!"

"Hmm.... This was true before, Your Excellency Lei Ming, but the future is not certain

!" Seeing the two arguing, Su Zheng only smiled, he knew that Chris was not a completely devout believer, and his relationship with Lei Ming was also relatively good, Su Zheng believed that Chris would become a "thorough materialist" sooner or later!

Su Zheng took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Chris and Lei Ming, and then continued: "You first figure out the formula of this main semi-finished material, and then let it be collected and produced according to the process I specified, I have already done some security measures on the sub-process, you must remember! The general process can only be seen by the two of you, and the others can't know what they are doing!"

Then Su Zheng took out a few more pieces of paper and handed them to the two of them.

"After getting the last few semi-finished materials, arrange people to mix according to these five processes, Chris, you take two, Lei Ming, you are responsible for the remaining three processes, and the last process is gunpowder!"

Weapons are the life-saving thing of the Soviet government at present, and it must be ensured that nothing goes wrong.

"Also, Chris, these are the ways in which artillery are made, and you will be responsible for this, and you must also pay attention to secrecy, but the core of these weapons is gunpowder, and gunpowder must not be exposed

!" "Yes!"

"Yes." The

two hurriedly put the final recipe in the inner pocket of the close-fitting body, and then began to exchange the raw materials for the main semi-finished products of the gunpowder.

Chris and Lei Ming are Su Zheng's two most trusted henchmen, and it is reassuring to leave this matter to the two of them to do Su Zheng.

In the early days, Su Zheng didn't want to expose the way gunpowder was made, but it was exposed sooner or later, after all, as long as someone knew about this kind of thing, they would keep trying, and sooner or later they would be able to try it.

Firearms are the things that save their lives in the early stage, and after the industrial revolution, after the further upgrading of guns and weapons, there is no need to worry.

Even if they take 10,000 steps back, they figured it out, and at that time, Su Zheng had already achieved industrialization, and the level of science and technology could be further advanced, and they would have to continue to ponder it when the time came.

What's more, the transformation from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization is not only as simple as requiring science and technology, but also involves the operation state and production structure of the entire society.

However, this is all the blueprint in Su Zheng's mind, and now Su Zheng also has a lot of problems in front of him, survival is the key, the nearby city-states are constantly fighting, and his own development has to be fearful.

Now because it is worthless, the surrounding city-states do not look down on Su Xincheng, so there has been no conflict with Su Xincheng for so long.

Only when he is fully equipped with firearms can Su Zheng dare to develop the productive forces, otherwise he will be innocent and will be targeted sooner or later.

.

.

After Chris and Thunder left the underground vault, they immediately began to organize the production of gunpowder.

Interestingly, Chris excitedly couldn't wait to call up the labor force, borrowed all the recruits from Lei Ming, and rushed to get the raw materials. Instead, Lei Ming was busy helping Chris recruit labor....

Chris had been sleepless for two nights since he saw the gunpowder, and he knew very well what this magical thing could bring to Su Xincheng, and what it could bring to mortals...

Chris seems to have changed as a person, and he is no longer reluctant to give up the silver nuggets and gold coins in the vault, and he has let go of the purchase of materials, in addition to the raw materials of gunpowder and other things, he is no longer stingy with food and other expenses, and now he does not wait for the thunder to urge food, and takes the initiative to send a lot of grain and pork to the barracks.

He finally understood the purpose of Su Zheng's various operations for a period of time......

Su Zheng was not idle, he directly locked himself in the room and devoted himself to studying the musket.

Su Zheng planned to skip the arquebus directly and develop a sui pistol directly.

It needs to be designed in light of the current situation in the city, such as productivity and working levels, and this is not something that can be solved in a short time.
