Even if the Flying Stone used up the last bit of strength to cushion Ye Gu a little, after all, it was more than twenty meters high in the sky, and the force when it fell was naturally enough to destroy the weak body of the human being.

"Hmph, it hurts!" Ye Gu said painfully, holding his left arm.

Although he landed on his feet when he fell, he rolled forward in the process of losing his strength, and a fragment of iron came out of nowhere and inserted into his left arm.

The painful look and the blood gushing out of the wound drew an unsatisfactory comma for his empty duel. As for the person who wants to add a full stop to it, it is not Ye Gu, nor Luo Longming and the others who rushed into the crowd of supporters of the six-pointed star shield, nor is it the mechanic who controls the giant airship in the sky, but the Luo family patriarch who is about to rush to the battlefield to finish up.

A loud roar still resounded around the dragon ruins, and as the altitude gradually decreased, the airship gradually reduced all the energy consumption to maintain power. Such a steel behemoth that relies purely on human technology and does not use any magical source power, the most lethal and hindering thing must be his energy supply.

After choosing a relatively distant position to fall, the airship finally stopped its full body and stopped its terrifying roar.

After the stirred dust gradually dissipated, from the center of the airship, the position of the Luo family totem was printed, and the mechanic who had just shouted a warning to the supporters of the six-pointed star shield below stepped down from the air.

With a slightly strange step, a Western-style jacket and gloves, Wu Qi, a mechanic from the southern capital of the empire, stepped down from the gate of the airship and surveyed the battlefield not far away.

However, due to the urgency of the battle, not many people's attention was on him, and the remnants of the six-pointed star shield supporters could only take care of a slight resistance and helpless escape, and the people of the Luo family, including Luo Sijie, were all chasing and fighting, while Ye Gu had just pulled out the fragments and struggled to get up.

Luckily, Yegu didn't fall too far from the mechanic, and when the dust cleared, he looked at the airship and the mechanic himself in front of him.

"Hey, are you the mechanic?" Seeing Wu Ji step down from the airship, Ye Gu hurriedly shouted loudly and waved his hand.

"I am, are you from the Luo family?" Wu Ji also shouted.

"I'm Ye Gu, and the people of the Luo family are all in front!"

"Oh, do you think this is okay? You come here, it's inconvenient for us to talk like this, ahem!"

Wu Ji shouted to Ye Gu to the end, and he coughed violently because of dryness.

Seeing this, Ye Gu had no choice but to drag his still somewhat numb feet and his bleeding left arm and walk briskly in the direction of Wu Qi.

From a distance, Ye Gu couldn't clearly see Wu Ji's face, and he couldn't get any first image of him in his mind. But as he kept getting closer, Ye Gu finally made the originally blurry picture clear in his eyes.

The appearance of Wu Machinery in front of him could only make him think of that Westerner.

Sure enough, there are still many people in the southern capital who are influenced by Westerners. Ye Gu thought to himself.

After the two faced each other, Ye Gu discovered that although Wu Ji in front of him was a head shorter than him, his slightly bloated body was full of mechanical aura.

The glasses composed of machinery, the right hand composed of machinery, and even the wrinkles on the face of the middle-aged man also reveal a mechanical atmosphere.

"Are you Yegu?, a friend of the dragon?"

Seeing Ye Gu approaching, Wu Ji asked in a characteristic teasing tone.

"I'm Yegu, but I'm not a friend of the dragons. Ye Mingyuan, he's not a dragon!" Ye Gu corrected with some anger.

"Hahaha, whether it's a dragon or not, none of this has anything to do with me. I'm just a mechanic invested in by the Nandulo family, and I only have these machines in my eyes, and you can't find anything else. Wu Ji smiled.

"In that case, you take this huge thing and take Luo Sijie and the Luo family away. Since I'm related to dragons, and the six-pointed star shield is related to dragons, I should be allowed to confront them head-on. You can't hurt the people of the Luo family. Ye Gu said.

"Didn't you notice? Those people of the six-pointed star shield can't stop the machinery anymore, and the patriarch of the Luo family should be behind them at this time, and he will cut off their retreat later. But my airship, there is not much fuel left, and the shells in the test have all been exhausted. Still, hehe, the machine still outsmarted the dragons in the end. Wu Ji smiled and glanced at Ye Gu with slanted eyes.

Ye Gu naturally knew that that kind of laughter did not represent ridicule, but a kind of pride from the heart.

"You were the one who manipulated the cannonball to kill Lingyin just now, right?" asked Ye Gu.

"That's right!" replied Wu Ji with the same smile he had just faced.

"Well, that's right. You are the mechanic that Luo Heng said. If you don't come here, Luo Si and I will also go to you according to Luo Heng's arrangement. ”

"Is my fame so big? Hahaha, the patriarch of the Luo family is still knowledgeable after all, but he knows what the future belongs to, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to modify the firearm for him, and become his favorite now, suitable for his huge appearance. I think that the Imperial Royals are descendants of the Dragon Clan, so they should prefer big things. However, the current little emperor prefers those gadgets, but the Luo family likes huge steel machinery. Wu Ji continued to say proudly.

"What did you just say about the future, what is the future you are talking about, and why doesn't Your Majesty like big things?" Ye Gu asked.

Although Wu Ji revealed a lot of information in his long sentence, Ye Gu only chose the two rhetorical questions that he cared about and doubted, which was the usual reaction of human beings, they would only care about what they cared about.

"The age of dragons may be thousands of years, or it may be ten thousand years. But now the empire is all steam, and magic is in constant decline. But the Empire was not as steam as I would have liked, and there had not been much invention in the decades, except for a few main railroad tracks, military muskets and artillery, and a few textile machines used in the production process in a few large cities. And the giant steamship that I have always proposed to the old emperor and the little emperor to use, they have turned a blind eye, and the imperial capital does not pay full attention to machinery now. Westerners have said that the earth may be a garden, but we currently only have a land trade route from east to west, and there is no ocean route from the sea in the east to the continent in the west, and such a direction is the future. ”

"Is it a machine used in all parts of human life?" asked Ye Gu.

"Yes, but not entirely. It's the age of machinery, but the future definitely can't be exactly. The machines I'm talking about today are still in an imperfect state. And the real future can only start from one place, and that is the thunder and lightning in the sky. Wu Ji said, pointing to the cloudy sky with his right arm.

Immediately, a bolt of lightning silently swept through the air, slicing towards an unknown location in the distance.

Two seconds later, the thunder and lightning reached the ears of both of them.

"This, how can we use it?" Ye Gu muttered as he stared at the sky with his eyes open.

"It's very complicated how to use it, I don't have so much time to explain it clearly, and when these things are over, you will go to my testing ground, and you will understand everything. When the time comes, I will show you the real future. ”

Wu Ji said confidently, stretching out his index finger in front of Ye Gu, and then clenched his fist, showing his confidence and deep belief in technology.

"I don't have this time now, but I'm going to meet Luo Sijie now, those six-pointed star shields are numerous, and they are not easy to deal with. Since you can't take them away, stay here. Finishing up such a thing, mechanics who can't participate in battles and engage in creation shouldn't be able to do it. Ye Gu imitated Wu Ji before he said to him, and he also squinted at him.

Now, it was obvious that his face was starting to turn red, the opposite of the confidence he had before.

"Humph!" he walked straight back to the airship.

"Then I'll pass. Ye Gu said that he was about to run to the battlefield ahead.

At this moment, Wu Ji's voice came from the airship cabin, and following the sound, Ye Gu saw that Wu Ji was holding an unknown weapon with a cylindrical body and twice as large as his arm, and called Ye Gu at this moment.

"Wait, take this, you might as well use it for less. This thing is easy to use, easy to operate, and lethal. Once you use it, I promise you'll fall in love with everything mechanically produced. ”

With that, Wu Ji ran straight forward and put the cylinder on Ye Gu's right arm.

After somehow manipulating a few times, Ye Gu suddenly felt that his right arm was firmly grasped by something, but this feeling did not seem heavy, but a lightness.

Looking along the arm, his right arm was like the muzzle of a huge fire hammer at this time, and under the steel machinery, Ye Gu swayed up and down slightly, and he didn't feel the heaviness at all.

"This machine is interesting, how to use it?" Ye Gu asked with wide eyes.

"Your right hand is now firmly grasped by what is inside, and you can shoot a cannonball if you clench your fist hard. By the way, it's no less powerful than what you just saw. Wu Ji said, motioning for Ye Gu to try.

"Just make a fist?" Ye Gu asked.

"That's right, but don't face me. Also, as a reminder, although this thing is large, it can only shoot five shots, so be careful not to use it indiscriminately. Wu Ji explained.

"Then I don't need to use it on the people who should use it. Thank you. Ye Gu said firmly, thanked him, and then rushed to the front battlefield.

Even though the war was nearing its end, the collapse of the six-pointed Star Shield was only due to the oppressive force of the huge airship and its sudden attack. When the airship was no longer hovering above and the huge pressure was relieved, the remaining dozen or so people of the Luo family could not be their opponents.

And Luo Heng's arrival was not for a while.

During the running, Ye Gu's mind flashed words that he heard out of nowhere: the most primitive emotion of human beings is fear, and the deepest part of fear is the fear of the unknown, even if the unknown represents the future.
