"Grass man Li Mu, meet Master Hou!" Outside a large-scale weapons forging workshop, Li Mu, whose hair was already gray, knelt down and bowed to Liu Chen, who slowly walked in, followed by hundreds of sturdy **** men with upper bodies, who followed Li Mu, all kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Mu up and said: "The old man really killed me, if there was no support from the old man, the Han army would not have developed to this point today!" ”

Looking at Liu Chen, Li Mu was also full of emotion, thinking that when they were forced into a corner, it was Liu Chen who killed them halfway, intercepted and killed the Dongying people who pursued them, and then led more than 100 young people to fight against the Dongying people, but in a year, the Dongying people in this area of Weihai County were almost emptied, and the Han army also developed into a big force, and the changes in the world are really unimaginable.

Although Li Mu did not fight with Liu Chen at the beginning, the help to Liu Chen and the Han army was huge, Liu Chen's current weapons Hanyang Sword and Remnant Snow Gun were all made by Li Mu himself, and most of the weapons and armor of the Han army came from Li Mu and the forge under his command, so although Li Mu did not ask for an official position, but in the Han army, everyone has a deep respect for Li Mu.

In fact, Liu Chen thought about taking Li Mu to Rongcheng to enjoy happiness, but Li Mu said that he had been born in iron for generations, even if he was old now, he also wanted to exert his residual heat, so Liu Chen vigorously gathered some people who knew how to forge and set up a forging workshop, and handed it over to Li Mu to take care of.

"Master Hou, I haven't fought for you, old man, don't say anything like I wouldn't have the Han army today without the old man, I can't afford it, old man!" Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Chen said with a straight face: "The old man's words are also wrong, the armor and weapons you produced give the soldiers the best protection, if there are no these things, even if we have more people, it is impossible to defeat the Dongying people, so the old man, you can definitely afford the title of the elder of the Han army." ”

"Hey, hey!" Li Mu shook his head and smiled, although he didn't dare to say anything and couldn't afford to say such things, but his heart was happy.

"Everyone, get up, you are all meritorious members of the Han army, I declare that your income will be doubled in the future!" Liu Chen said to the sturdy men who fell to their knees.

These people were overjoyed one by one, originally working here was not low, and if it doubled, they could live for more than half a year in January.

"Thank you Lord Hou, Lord Hou is healthy!" The men shouted.

"Go and go, let me go back and continue to work, if I can't build three eight-ox crossbows today, everyone will deduct one day's wages." Xu Mu's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted at the cheering men.

These men were obviously stunned, but the next moment they returned to their posts and started working, for fear that Xu Mu would deduct their wages.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chen smiled slightly, and his heart was full of joy.

Li Mu was proud, and then approached Liu Chen, and said mysteriously: "Master Hou, do you still remember a compatible recipe you gave me before, saying what kind of research gunpowder it is!" ”

Liu Chen's gaze instantly froze, he looked at Li Mu, his expression moved slightly, and said, "Old man, what is the effect?" ”

With an inexplicable smile on his face, Li Mu said, "Master Hou, please follow me!" As he spoke, he walked in one direction.

"Brother Chen, what is mysterious and secret?" Beside Liu Chen, Master Li asked curiously, even Tang Long had some doubts on his face.

"Hehe, keep it secret for the time being, won't we know if we keep up?" Liu Chen smiled, and took Master Li and Tang Long to follow Li Mu's figure.

The forging workshop of Chengshan Military Port is at the highest point in this area, close to the cliff on the shore, Li Mu first took Liu Chen to the highest place, and after arriving here, Liu Chen was surprised to find that he didn't know when, there was a stone step that was enough for two people to pass side by side, and the direction of the stone step was at the bottom of the cliff!

"Master Hou, that thing is too noisy to study, so we dug a passage and tested it at the bottom of this cliff, please be careful!" Xu Mu said, that is, he should walk down the stone steps first, don't look at Xu Mu's age, he still walks as fast as ever, even this steep stone step is not a problem.

All the way down, until it is only five meters above sea level, it is a natural cave, without the slightest trace of excavation, the area is very large, there is an area of thousands of square meters, there are many reefs in front of it, these reefs are high, just enough to block the view from the sea level, extremely hidden.

At this moment, in such a hole, more than two dozen people in black are busy with something.

"Ahem, everyone, the Marquis of Zhenbei is here!" Xu Mu coughed dryly, and then said loudly.

The more than 20 people in the cave moved obviously, and then they all looked at Xu Mu's position, and the next moment, they rushed over, knelt down on one knee and said to Liu Chen: "I'll wait to see Master Hou!" ”

Liu Chen looked at these people, they were all young people in their twenties, but they might not have seen the sun for a long time, and their faces were a little pale.

"Get up, don't be polite!" Liu Chen said.

"Thank you, Master Hou!" These young people bowed again, and then stood up one after another, they secretly looked at Liu Chen, but they kept sighing in their hearts, because Liu Chen was too young.

"Jiang Yuezhong, bring over what you have researched." Xu Mu suddenly said to one of the young men.

The young man didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked to the wooden table thirty steps away behind him, on which there was a wooden box with a length of one meter and a height of one meter, only to see this young man named Jiang Yuezhong open the wooden box, and then carefully took a boxy, extremely strong cotton cloth wrapped in something from it, and then walked over slowly.

At first glance, Liu Chen was about to suspect that this young man named Jiang Yuezhong had also crossed over from the Chinese world, because this thing was almost exactly the same as the military explosives bags in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century in the Chinese world!

"Hou Ye, look, this is developed with the ingredients you gave, here is the lead, after ignition, it will only take three or four breaths to detonate, this thing is very powerful, if it explodes here, all of us here are estimated to be unable to escape death!" Li Mu said excitedly.

"Ahem!" Hearing this, Liu Chen coughed violently, and he was speechless for this old man, how could he speak like this? But for now, he didn't care about this, but looked at the explosive bag curiously, and said, "Go and try it, just try it on this beach!" ”

Liu Chen knew that the power of the explosive bag in that era in the Chinese world was not small, an explosive bag could blow up a tank, a stone bridge, and a pillbox, if this explosive bag could also have such power, it would be very useful for the Han army.

As early as after the establishment of the Han Army, Liu Chen planned to study new weapons, especially firearms, Liu Chen is a martial arts master in the Chinese world, ten powerful killers, but unfortunately, he is not very clear about firearms and gunpowder, but fortunately he knows the principle and materials of gunpowder, so he asked Li Mu to study secretly, but he didn't expect that in less than a year, there will be results, and now he is very eager to know what the firepower of this explosive bag is!

Jiang Yuezhong glanced at Li Mu, saw Li Mu nodded, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave, next to the sea!
