Chapter 176: Smoke Rises
Li Qi really didn't expect that the war would come so quickly, so suddenly, he didn't know who his neighbors were, so he couldn't prevent any potential crises.
But if you look at it from another angle, this is actually a test for the Huaxia Alliance, in the final analysis, if you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, it will be difficult for Li Qi's cooking skills to survive in this multiracial world, especially if you still want to rise.
Since the royal family does not intervene much in the war between the second-class races, that is to say, each race still defends its own life with its own hands, rather than relying on other races, in the end, everyone is still on their own.
Although Li Qi committed all kinds of deadly food, but one thing is very lucky, that is, the factory here has just been established, the population is already concentrated here, and there are not many people stationed in the outer circle, that is, people from the Ministry of Agriculture, this is really a blessing in misfortune, if they are all stationed outside, the loss will be very heavy, because Li Qi has no ability to defend every inch of the territory of the Huaxia Alliance for the time being, and the Huaxia Alliance cannot afford such a big loss.
......
Smelting area.
"Great Chief, why did you come?"
Ah Gu was extremely surprised to see Li Qi suddenly arrive, because Li Qi had only left here the day before yesterday.
Li Qi asked directly, "Ah Gu, do you know the Gu Eagle?" ”
When Ah Gu heard this, he was horrified and said, "Gu Eagle? That's a flying beast that specializes in eating people. How? Are there any Gu carvings in our neighborhood? You have to be careful! ”
"If that's the case, so good!"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "There is an army of Gu Eagles coming from our Huaxia Alliance. ”
"Army... Army? ”
Ah Gu said in a trembling voice: "Then he... They must have come to hunt us. ”
In terms of force, their beasts are not as good as humans, and they have tried to be ravaged by various races, so Agu is more afraid than humans, after all, the humans who have seen Gu Eagles are probably already hanging.
Li Qi said: "Therefore, I can't sit still, we have to hurry up and prepare for the battle." ”
Agu said: "But we can't beat them, how far they are left, we have to flee quickly." ”
"We can't beat whoever said it, and I hope it's the last time we hear about the escape." Li Qi warned Ah Gu and said, "I already have a way to deal with them." ”
Agu was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”
Li Qi nodded and said to Rong: "Rong, you hurry up and produce the shield now." ”
Rong asked, "What is the shield?" ”
Oh, my God! I'm playing a little bigger this time. When Li Qi heard this, he was about to cry, this was all a mistake he made, that is, he abandoned the cold weapon too completely, so that Rong didn't even know what the shield was.
But now humans must need shields to protect themselves, and to fight the enemy in the air naked, it will be quite ugly.
"I know, I know, Great Chief, don't worry, we'll produce shields right away." ”
Li Qi nodded, handed the two drawings to Agu, and said, "Agu, in addition to the shield, you have to immediately concoct a machine to specialize in the production of this kind of wooden cylinder, and produce as much as you can for me." ”
Ah Gu took the drawings, one was about the shield, he put it aside, and saw that the other drawing was also a very simple pattern, that is, a tall wooden tube, but with accurate data, one meter high, the mouth is ten centimeters so far, and immediately said: "This... It's so simple, I can modify it right away, but the wood ...... ”
Li Qi said: "I will let Lie transport the wood here, and after you produce it, I will hand it over to Lie immediately." ”
"I see!"
"Okay, you guys hurry up and prepare, I'll go to the warehouse and have a look."
As he spoke, Li Qi hurried to the warehouse again, and when he saw the pile of saltpeter and sulfur, he was a little relieved.
This is also a blessing in misfortune, in fact, he brought a large amount of saltpeter and sulfur here, not for the production of gunpowder, but for the production of rubber and soda, and he is preparing to increase production. In addition, these raw materials are still concentrated in this area, if it is too scattered, with their current transportation capacity, it will not be able to play.
At the same time, Qiaoma, Shangong, Lie, Mo, Nong, and several other ministers had also rushed over, all with a hint of panic on their faces, obviously they already knew.
"From now on, all factories will be shut down immediately."
Li Qi said to Lie again: "Lie, you immediately transport thirty percent of the logs to Agu's side." ”
"Yes."
"Qiaoma, you can let all the women of the textile department gather here now, I have a task to give you."
"Yes."
Li Qi took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Shangong, and said: "Shangong, you take three hundred men, and make every effort to produce this kind of wooden tube, no one is allowed to rest, I have asked people to transport all the fluorites here, we have to work day and night, remember, the more the merrier." ”
Shangong took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "I see." "This drawing is exactly the same as the one given to Agu just now, but because there are not many steam engines now, they are not not too many, but very few, and it is impossible to rely entirely on machines, and labor is still necessary.
Li Qi said to Nong: "Nong, you have to transport all the chili powder here." ”
Nong nodded and said, "I see!" ”
The military strength of the Huaxia Alliance is very weak, because Li Qi invests all his resources in production, so their manual production capacity is very strong.
Let them go to war, it is estimated that they will be scattered, but if they are allowed to produce, then they will be proficient.
As soon as Li Qi's order was given, everyone immediately mobilized, and it was carried out in an orderly manner.
This can be regarded as giving Li Qi a little comfort.
Soon, Choma took all the women to the warehouse.
Li Qi and each of them were given a bowl, of different sizes, grouped by the size of the bowl, respectively responsible for filling sulfur, saltpeter, dead wood leaf ash, also in an assembly line way.
Over there, Li Qi also ordered two hundred strong men to grind the sulfur and saltpeter that had just been transported into ash.
.......
Xiao Yi is very right, it is too late to inform the people stationed in the outermost circle now, because their speed is far inferior to Gu Eagle and Bi Fang, and they are now paving the road to each station, and the Gu Eagle comes directly from the sky, and they don't need to make a detour, they just break in.
On a flat land in the southwesternmost part of the Huaxia Alliance, I saw dozens of people working hard, and their faces were still full of happy smiles, their lives were getting better and better, and they were peaceful.
Suddenly, I heard a strange sound in the air!
"Biba! Biba! ”
A man looked up and saw a large group of black dots flying in the air.
"Look, what's that?"
"Could it be royalty?"
"It should be."
"But how did the royal family come from heaven this time?"
"What's so strange about this, isn't it true that our big chief often rides flying beasts to the cow hump?"
......
They were all accustomed to seeing the caravan of the royal family, and seeing that it was such a large group, it was unlikely to be a flying beast, so they thought that this must be the caravan of the royal family, and many people waved and cheered .......
It wasn't until an arrow fell from the sky and pierced a man's chest that they woke up, screamed and ran in all directions.
But it was too late, and a large group of flying beasts had already come above them.
The bright red flesh crown like fire on the top of the head, the blue feathers, but only one leg, this is Bi Fang, the reason why it is called Bi Fang, is because of their cry, Fang Cai's "Biba Biba" sound is Bi Fang's cry. And on their backs there is also a flying beast, with a sturdy body, bent, with its feet spread outward, eagle head and antlers, wolf beak and black wings, this beast is a Gu eagle.
They looked at the fleeing humans below, with their mouths wide open, and let out a very shrill laugh, like the cry of a baby tearing from the bottom.
Suddenly, more than a dozen Gu eagles spread out a pair of wings and swooped down from the air, all of them holding shields in one hand and guns in the other, extremely fast.
Whoosh!
I saw that more than ten people were immediately shot through by the black iron spear and were killed instantly.
"Ahh Help me! Help me! ”
All I heard was a terrifying scream.
But he saw a Gu eagle gliding past, grabbing a woman who was running with both hands, and then flew into the sky, and then threw the woman down again.
The woman was killed instantly.
Very brutal!
Very bloody!
And those Gu Eagles who didn't move were leisurely squatting on Bi Fang's back, looking at the panicked humans below, and their mouths were emitting eerie laughter.
In an instant, dozens of people were almost all lying in the field, the speed of the Gu carving was too fast, and none of them escaped from the field.
But the bloodier was still to come, and I saw more than a dozen Bi Fang falling from the sky, flapping their wings, flying above the corpses, with one mouth, and from their mouths spewed out a slender flame, about a foot long, and roasted those corpses on the spot.
The Gu Eagle swarmed up, divided the roasted corpses, and flew into the sky to share them with their companions, they sat on Bi Fang's body, gulping and eating, pulling that ugly voice, and talking about something.
"Help! Help me! ”
A frightened scream rang out in the air.
But I saw a Gu eagle grab a thin girl and flutter her wings in front of the largest of them.
This girl is also the only one who lives.
There was a Gu eagle sitting on the huge Bi Fang, but seeing that the Gu eagle was dressed in red-scaled leather armor, it looked like the skin of the beast, and the antlers on his head were also inlaid with chestnut-sized pearls, shining in the sunlight, he suddenly opened his mouth and said to the girl in a broken human language: "As long as you are obedient, I will not kill you." ”
The girl's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the Gu Eagle in a daze.
The Gu Eagle laughed a few times gloomily, and then pulled a few times towards the Gu Eagle, and the Gu Eagle immediately grabbed the girl and flew to a Bi Fang, and stretched out her disgusting tongue to lick the girl's cheek, and the girl was so frightened that she fainted immediately.
Suddenly, the Gu carving studded with pearls stared at the fluttering flag on the mountain, frowned, revealing a look of disgust, and muttered a few words to the Gu carving beside him.
The Gu Eagle immediately flew over on Bi Fang and spewed a flame at the flag, and in an instant, the Nine Star Ring Banner turned into a ball of flames.
At the same time, those Bi Fang breathed fire everywhere, setting fire to all the thatched huts and tools on the edge of the field, and in the blink of an eye, the garrison site was immediately a sea of fire, and all the fields were destroyed.
The smoke that soared into the sky, this was also a way for Gu Diao to declare war on the Huaxia Alliance.
Because the nature of Gu Eagles is very brutal, when they attack humans, they will definitely wreak havoc, and they will not have anything to live for.
Entering the territory of the Huaxia Alliance, they burned all the way, thick smoke billowed everywhere, the humans stationed near here could not resist at all, and a small number of patrol soldiers all died tragically under the short guns of the Gu Eagle, and the Gu Eagle army not only did not suffer the slightest damage, but also got a lot of food.
Their army was heading straight for the Deadwood.
This is why they want to leave a living mouth, because they only know that the Huaxia Alliance is in this generation, but where the headquarters is, they don't know, but .......
"Ah---!h
I heard a scream, and I saw the girl fall from the sky and fall to her death on a large rock.
It turned out that after the girl panicked, she saw these Gu Eagles treating her people so cruelly, and they were naked, even if she was stupid, she knew that if she took them to the headquarters, more people would die tragically, and she would not be able to live at that time, so she jumped directly while the Gu Eagles behind her were not paying attention.
This is the war of this world, very cruel, life or death.
