Chapter 35: We Goblins Have*

Zhao Zizhong called Du Dalei, and the four of them walked towards the dock. On the way, I told Du Dalei that there was a *. This kid was also very happy, and kept praising Cui Daoshu.

Walking to the dock, everyone climbed onto the boat with * described by Cui Zhaorong. The ship was quiet, and the crew had not yet gotten up. They entered the cabin, went to the lowest floor, and saw two servants sitting on the deck between the aisles, sleeping against the wall.

Dudalei woke up the servants and asked them where they were stored. The two of them paused for a moment, each took out a key, and walked to the door of the innermost cabin. There were two locks hanging on the door, and the servants opened each with their own keys. Everyone entered the cabin, where ten barrels were firmly tied to the deck with thick ropes.

Everyone saw that Cui Daoshu had done such a good job of protective measures, and they didn't dare to be careless. Wei Hongye said: "Let's transport a bucket over first, but we must be careful during the transportation process. ”

Boris proposed: "I want to put some quilts and cloth on the carriage as cushions to absorb shocks. Then tie it with a rope and you're good to go. ”

"I also have to build a shed on the carriage and cover it with a few more layers of cloth, so that this thing can't be dried." Du Dalei added.

"When carrying, you should handle it gently, or the four of us will do it, and the others will not touch it."

Everyone reached a consensus and went separately.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, the four men carefully carried a bucket* off the boat. Tied up on the wagon, covered with a few pieces of cloth on it, the carriage started slowly, and headed for the valley.

The four of them followed the car, constantly telling the driver to slow down, and when they reached the place where they could not drive, everyone carefully lifted the wooden barrel down, put it under the shady tree, and covered it with several layers of cloth.

Zhao Zizhong said to everyone: "Xiao Du and Boris are watching the * bucket here, and Lao Wei and I will go to the big stone to have a look, let them stop burning the fire, and prepare to blow up the stone later." When you two see the islanders coming to work, let them continue to build roads here without going to the valley, and I will send for them in a moment. ”

"Then you can hurry up, we can't communicate with those islanders."

Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye walked towards the valley and saw Cui Zhaorong leading people to pour water on the boulder, which was 'snorting, snorting' and bubbling with a large amount of water vapor. Cui Zhaorong came up and asked, "How is it, have you found that*?" ”

"Found it, a barrel has been shipped."

"What the hell is that thing for?"

"You'll know in a while, send someone to splash more water to cool down the big rock, don't burn it again."

An hour later, the temperature of the boulder cooled down. Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye stepped forward to inspect and saw that the boulder had cracked many gaps, and the wide place could reach into the fist.

Wei Hongye asked, "Lao Zhao, did you learn explosives when you were in the army?" ”

"I've learned it, but it's all tnt, *, c4 or something, *it's the first time."

"Then you should be careful."

So I continued to splash water and water the surroundings as well, so as not to have any sparks left. Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye went back to find Du Dalei and them. Together, the four of them slowly carried the barrel to the boulder.

Zhao Zizhong asked Cui Zhaorong to take everyone to the outside of the valley to build roads, leaving only Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng. He didn't want the ancients to know the * things too soon.

In the woods, Zhao Zizhong gently opened the lid of the wooden barrel, which was pried open with a wooden stick, and did not dare to use iron. He told everyone: "You must not use metal objects in contact*, lest sparks be produced by metal friction, and then it will be all over." ”

Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng didn't understand, they looked at it seriously, and they were very curious. Zhao Zizhong took some oiled paper and spread it on the ground, and pressed the four corners with stones. He carefully scooped out some black powder* with a wooden spoon and poured it on top of the oiled paper. He scooped a few more spoonfuls, and when he felt that it was almost enough, he wrapped * in oiled paper, wrapped a few more layers, and finally tied the * tightly with hemp rope.

Zhao Zizhong said: "Everyone makes * bags according to my method, and I will make the lead." "Everyone is making * bags, Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng also want to participate.

Zhao Zizhong stopped them, "There is a task for you, it is very important, can you complete it?" ”

Both of the boys puffed up their chests and said, "No problem, leave it to us, we won't disappoint Mr." ”

"Go and dig in the mountains, and then carry the earth to the big rocks, and live like mud, go."

The two boys looked at each other and thought, playing with mud, is this an important task? Mr. Zhao, you're playing tricks on us.

Zhao Zi saw that the two of them didn't move, so he shouted: "Why don't you go quickly, do you want to enter the small black house?" ”

The two boys 'whoosh', disappeared, and ran faster than the rabbits.

More than an hour passed, and everyone made more than 20* bags, and a lot of leads were made. Zhao Zizhong led everyone to the boulder, and the two boys were living in the mud. He carefully stuffed the bag into the gap, grabbed some mud and squeezed the bag firmly, leaving only a gap where the lead was inserted. He worked repeatedly, stuffing a dozen * into them, all fixed with mud. Finally, use a bamboo skewer to gently pierce the * bag and tuck the lead in.

When the leads were all plugged in, he tied the leads together and led out a lead more than five meters long. He told everyone to hide far away, and Wei Hongye took everyone to the woods. Zhao Zi clicked on a torch and slowly stretched it out to the lead. The fuse was lit, and it burned rapidly with sparks, and Zhao Zi threw the torch again, turned around and ran.

He ran into the woods as fast as he could, hiding behind a large tree. Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng probed their brains behind the tree, and Du Dalei each gave a slap and pressed the two to the ground.

There was a muffled "boom", and the earth moved. 'Crackling', some small pebbles fell from the sky, hitting many branches and leaves, and some hit people.

Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng were very puzzled, where did the thunder sound come from on this sunny day, and stones fell from the sky, the actions of several gentlemen were very strange, it was difficult for them to make these things?

The four of them quickly got up and ran towards the big rock. The cracks in the stone are bigger, and in some places the edges have been completely peeled off, and everyone is excited,* and it still works very well.

Zhao Zi touched the stone again, "The power is still a little small, this time we have to put more * bags, and strive to blow the stone completely apart two more times!" Lao Wei, you stay here and watch the barrels, and we will go back to the ship and transport a few more barrels. Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng stayed. ”

The two boys were stupid, it turned out that the loud noise was made by a few gentlemen! Just use some black powder to make such a big movement, even the hard big stones are cracked, are they immortals?

The two looked at Wei Hongye a little confused, and Lao Wei smiled and patted the two of them on the back: "Don't tell others what you two see, understand?" The two of them nodded desperately. Then he continued: "These black things are called *, they are artificially formulated, and we will make them in large quantities in the future, and you must learn from them, and you must learn them." * It has a wide range of uses, such as mining, building roads, building houses, and even for war. This thing is our biggest secret from now on, can you promise not to tell it? ”

Hu pounced on the knife and knelt on the ground, and Tian Renfeng also knelt down. Hu Yidao said excitedly: "God, today I Hu Yidao hereby swear a poisonous oath, if I tell the matter of *, I will not die a good death, and after death, I will go to eighteen layers of hell, and I will not be able to live forever." Tian Renfeng also swore an oath.

Wei Hongye hurriedly helped the two of them up, "I believe you can do it, go play for a while, I want to take a break." ”

At noon, Zhao Zizhong and the others came back with a few guards and two buckets*. After a brief meal, everyone got busy.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone made more than 50* bags, and many leads were made. Zhao Zizhong led everyone to the boulder, concocted it in the same way, stuffed all the * bags into the gaps, and sealed them with mud. After installing the lead, everyone withdrew more than 200 meters away, this time Zhao Zizhong lengthened the main lead, which was more than ten meters long, and he ran all the way after lighting the lead, and quickly ran into the depths of the woods.

Sitting under the tree and gasping for a moment, there was a loud noise, followed by another rain of stones. After a little more waiting, everyone walked out of the woods.

This time, the boulder split into five large pieces, and there were countless small stones around it, scattered in a radius of several tens of meters. Everyone tried to pry the big rocks, but they couldn't pry them. So he burned the great stones with fire.

Everyone worked hard day and night, and after two days, they finally made the big stones into small pieces that could be leveraged. Cui Zhaorong and his people have already repaired the road to the valley. The islanders worked hard under the stimulus of money, and Cui Zhaorong gave generous rewards to the Cui family, so the project progressed quickly.

Another day of stone clearing, the road was opened, and everyone was exhausted. Zhao Zizhong discussed with Cui Zhaorong and decided to take a day off tomorrow to let everyone have a good rest.

The next morning, when everyone was sleeping, Zhao Zizhong and the four of them took Hu Yidao and Tian Renfeng to go around the valley, preparing to choose a good location suitable for camping.

Autumn is crisp and the scenery in the valley is beautiful. Unknown birds chirped, and squirrels with big tails jumped from branch to branch. Everyone was in a good mood, Du Dalei was singing with a broken gong, Boris was playing tricks on the two boys while walking, and Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye were watching with a smile.

Turning a mountain, an open mountain valley appeared in front of me, the terrain was very gentle, and a stream on the south side of the mountain flowed down, injecting into a pool of water with an area of about 100 square meters.

Zhao Zizhong and Wei Hongye glanced at each other, and Lao Wei said: "I fell in love with this place when I surveyed the terrain a few days ago, do you think it is appropriate to use it as a camp?" ”

"I think it's okay, it's a big area, and the terrain is very flat, and it becomes flat after a little bit of it. In addition, there is no shortage of water, so it is a good place to build a camp. ”
