In the Qinghe Courtyard, the lights were also bright at this time.

Today, the Qinghe Marquis Mansion is happy, one is that the concubine of the Qinghe Marquis gave birth to a daughter, and the other is that the second brother of the Qinghe Marquis, Han Xin, returned from Lingnan with honor.

With the return of Han Xin and others, news has begun to circulate in Xianyang, and the largest Yue clan in Lingnan, Xiou, has been subjugated, which actually means that almost the entire Lingnan land has fallen into the hands of Great Qin, and the war of the First Emperor to conquer Lingnan has actually ended.

And Han Xin, as the biggest hero of the conquest of Xiou, made a surprising plan to blow up the leader of Xiou Song with Taiyi Shenlei into powder, and the entire Lingnan Yue clan was shocked to the point of being torn apart, and all surrendered in only half a month, which also greatly accelerated the speed of conquering Lingnan.

Chen Xu had already learned the news from Han Xin soon after returning home.

Chen Xu did not blame Han Xin for using gunpowder to control the enemy, and of course he did not express encouragement.

The power of gunpowder, a big killing weapon, has long been spread among the people in the court, and the Taiyi God Musket and Taiyi God Thunder are not new topics in Daqin.

From the first time when Chen Xu rescued Shui Qing in Funiu Mountain and used the Taiyi Divine Thunder and Taiyi Divine Musket for the first time to the Great Qin envoy Li Shun used the Taiyi Divine Thunder to repel the sneak attack of the Yue clan in the Yue Clan, coupled with the construction of the Eastern Dao and the use of explosives to open the mountain and blow up the stones, the prestige of the Taiyi Divine Thunder has long been famous all over the world.

In particular, Chen Xu was attacked in Hangu Pass, dozens of teenagers armed with muskets and hundreds of bandits fought fiercely, after a battle, the ambushers were killed and injured more than 300 people, and the heroic Ji Xin in Guanzhong was almost completely killed by the Taiyi God Thunder, and the thunderous Taiyi God Thunder explosion still seems to be resounding throughout the land of Guanzhong.

Xuanwuwei, who participated in the investigation afterwards, secretly reported to the first emperor, after questioning the arrested bandits, inspecting the bodies of the bandits, and surveying the scene after the explosion, the leader of Xuanwuwei said bluntly when he faced the emperor that martial arts were vulnerable in front of the Taiyi Divine Musket and Taiyi Divine Thunder, and the immortal spells could be confronted by non-flesh and blood.

Chen Xu didn't know about this, but he knew that the emperor definitely knew, because this was a secret that couldn't be hidden, and he knew the consequences from the first time he used the handcuffs and grenades.

But the reason why he wanted to use it was naturally to deter everyone, including Qin Shi Huang.

As the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang will definitely not be the kind appearance he usually sees, he is majestic and slightly encompasses the heart of the universe, but he is immersed in the desire for immortality and cannot extricate himself, even now, Chen Xu still believes that Qin Shi Huang has not forgotten the idea of immortality.

Therefore, Chen Xu needs to use an identity that can live in harmony with the emperor or even sit on an equal footing to stabilize his position, and the coat of the immortal disciple is almost the only excuse that can make him stand firm in Daqin, no matter how the first emperor is not convinced, how he regards the nobles of the six countries as dung and the world is like ants, but in the face of Chen Xu, he also has to be careful, because Chen Xu's identity makes him jealous, and he has the Taiyi Divine Thunder in his hands that he can't resist at all, and in addition, No one knew if Chen Xu still had any other immortal artifacts hidden in his hands.

The emperor once asked Chen Xu if he could use the Taiyi Divine Thunder on the battlefield, but Chen Xu refused, and the emperor never mentioned this matter again.

But now, in order to conquer Xiou quickly and deter the Lingnan Yue tribe, Han Xin actually used explosives without Chen Xu's consent, which made Chen Xu feel a little tricky.

It is estimated that after this battle, the military will have other ideas about Taiyi Shenlei, and the driving force behind this may be Wang Ben, if you think a little more far-reaching, you can even see the shadow of the emperor.

Chen Xu knew that this matter itself should not have much to do with Han Xin, because according to Han Xin's description, Wang Ben specifically asked Han Xin separately before preparing to withdraw the army, which can be seen that it was a plan that had been prepared for a long time, maybe the withdrawal of the army did have a plan, but at the same time, he also wanted to use Han Xin to obtain explosives against the enemy, and as a character like Wang Ben, he naturally knew everything about the heart of a young man like Han Xin, and Han Xin unsurprisingly proposed a strategy of using Taiyi Divine Thunder to control the enemy.

The reputation is too great, and the emperor is still afraid after all!

Chen Xu sighed a little depressedly, sorted out his clothes and came out of the bedroom to the living room.

Today he feasted a group of relatives, friends and subordinates, Chen Ping, Zhang Cang, Liu Bang, Ma Gong, Gong Sheng, Tang Ting, Hu Kuan, Huang Fu Que, Sun Shuyi, Bo Daocheng, Shi Xuan all came with family members with gifts at sunset, Fan Caiwei, Wanwan and a group of teachers from the Women's College had already come to Qinghe Courtyard, at this time a group of women gathered in the backyard, and Shui Qingrou was responsible for taking care of the other chef who was responsible for eating and drinking.

When Chen Xu came to the living room, it was noisy and crowded, everyone was already quite familiar with Chen Xu, and no one was polite to him, drinking Ziyunxian tea, eating melon seeds from the Western Regions, eating dried whitebait in Taihu Lake, chatting and farting.

Chen Ping, Liu Bang, Huang Fu and others gathered together to play mahjong, shouting and screaming mahjong to touch, and there was a circle of people around them who were buying codes to accompany the gamble.

Zhang Cang, Hu Kuan and a group of people from the Academy of Sciences system all gathered together to chat, and the atmosphere was also very hot.

"Master Hou, come and play a few rounds of mahjong, Liu Bang is about to lose his pants!" Seeing Chen Xu coming in, Chen Ping shouted triumphantly.

"Bang Nai is from a poor man's background, how can he ......compare with Secretary Chen," Liu Bang explained with a slightly flushed face.

Time has changed, how dare Chen Ping speak to Liu Bang like this on the other line, and how could Liu Bang be so cautious in a low voice, but now both of them are Chen Xu's subordinates, fishing in a pot, and they actually get along quite well on weekdays.

Chen Xu squeezed to the mahjong table and took a look, rolled up his sleeves with grinned teeth and said with a smile: "Do you really want to fight with me, a thousand dollars for a shot......"

"Master Hou, hurry up, let's go, I'm waiting for Gu to be a poor man......" A group of people laughed and drove Chen Xu away.

Chen Xu walked to Zhang Cang and Hu Kuan's group of chatting people and sat down, and a stream of maids who served endlessly brought fragrant tea, Chen Xu slowly drank a few sips before he spoke: "It's been a long time since you've been so lively, what are you talking about, you are so interested?" ”

"Master Hou, we're talking about the two hemispheric experiments you conducted today!" Zhang Cang said with a smile twisting his beard.

"Well, what do you think after reading it?" For this group of people in the Academy of Sciences, Chen Xu has more respect.

"There are naturally too many ideas, every time I see some experiments of Hou Ye, Cang feels that he is incomparably small, the more he knows, the more he feels the vastness of the world and the depth of physics, even if we can't spy on one or two in our lives, today's two hemisphere experiments have completely broken the habitual thinking of weekdays, just like the experiment of the two copper balls landing at the beginning, it is a subversive esoteric theory......" Zhang Cang's face was extremely serious, and he kept shaking his head and sighing as he spoke.

"Dean Zhang is right, the more I have followed Hou Ye over the years, the more I know, the more barren my knowledge becomes, and this world seems to be completely different from what we knew before!" Hu Kuan also nodded.

"Exactly, the more I know, the more confused I become, and often I feel like I'm dreaming......" Tang Ting, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, agreed.

"You don't need to be like this, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, not that he doesn't know that it's really illusory, but that he feels that life is impermanent, and Zhuangzi also said: My life has an end, and knowledge has no end, and there is no end to it. Life in the world, but only a few decades of time, and the vast universe of the mystery, but not with the power of one person in a lifetime can understand thoroughly, we can not use limited life and experience to delve into the infinite unknown, so we can not blindly seek perfection, everyone's strength is weak, but if each of us can strive for perfection to do what they are good at, so that future generations can stand on our shoulders to continue to climb the peak of science, hundreds of years later, Daqin will inevitably be another completely different landscape, You may have heard me say before that a giant ship built of steel can swim in the vast sea without fear of wind and waves, and an iron-winged giant bird made of metal can fly hundreds of people in the infinite blue sky, and the journey of thousands of miles will come in one day, and the sea of thousands of miles is like a river, and when science is developed to the extreme, you can talk to each other in an instant with a thing thousands of miles away, just like you are talking and laughing with tea now......"

There was silence in the corner of the chat.

And this silence quickly spread to the entire living room, the maids who shuttled back and forth were frightened and tiptoed cautiously, and the group of people who were shouting and playing mahjong also slowly quieted down, and finally almost everyone turned their heads to look at Chen Xu.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, what are the steel giants and iron-winged birds you are talking about...... When will the construction begin, there is no shortage of steel in Daqin now......" Hu Kuan stammered and broke the silence.

When he was repairing the swimming pool of the Qinghe Courtyard, Chen Xu had fooled him with this sentence, and earlier, when he first took refuge in Chen Xu in Wancheng, Chen Xu said that the husband should have the ambition to conquer the world, and there is no future at all as a gangster in Daqin...... Well, conquer the aliens.

Now a few years have passed in the blink of an eye, Hu Kuan has also grown from a small gangster who followed Ma Teng to collect protection money to the Qing doctor of Daqin, although he did not carry a gun and leap on a horse to conquer Siyi, but this time he went to Lingnan with the army to build a spiritual canal, and finally killed hundreds of Yue people with explosives before leaving, which can be regarded as completing the wish and move to conquer Siyi.

Therefore, for Hu Kuan, he has now fulfilled what Chen Xu said at the beginning, but the steel warship that roams the sea and the iron-winged birds that soar in the blue sky make him never forget, if he doesn't look at it in this life, he will definitely die and can't close his eyes.

Chen Xu glanced at Hu Kuan slowly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Steel alone is far from enough, this steel giant ship and iron-winged bird use steel as their flesh and bones, but even if they are made, it is only superficial, if you want to really be able to achieve the goal that Ben Hou said at the beginning, you also need a core item, and this thing may not be easy to manufacture within a hundred years!" ”

"One hundred years?!"

As soon as they heard Chen Xu's words, not only Hu Kuan, Zhang Cang and a group of people from the Academy of Sciences system shook their heads and sighed, but Chen Ping, Liu Bang and others, who stopped to play mahjong, also became active in an instant, turned their heads together and began to continue playing mahjong.
