Chapter 12: The Master's Weapons Workshop

The temple on the east side of the base covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, with a north-south rectangle, red walls and green tiles, and cornices and arches. To Liang Hong's surprise, such a huge building complex, the system was built all at once.

Facing the square tower, below is the temple gate of the temple, and the golden seal characters on the plaque above the temple gate - the Temple of Light.

Stepping into the temple gate, there is an open-air courtyard with hundreds of stone pillars in the garden, which are scattered and seem to be arranged according to some rules.

"The Temple of Light, temple wishes, see the sect leader."

In the depths of the courtyard, the monk wearing a red robe walked out quickly, with a crown and a broad belt, white hair and crane face, very like a fairy wind and bones. bowed to him from afar, and said a word in a loud voice, which made Liang Hong stunned. Sect Master, who are you greeting? Turning his head to look left and right, there was no one else in the whole courtyard. Is this what I am called?

After a moment of hesitation, the monk had already walked in front of him, took out a piece of yellow cancan from his arms, and bent down and held it in front of Liang Hong with both hands.

"This is the Sect Master's token, please take it."

It's for me, and I'm really the master. The leader of the Ming Sect, and such immortal-like subordinates, Liang Hong was so excited in his heart. Although he knew that this Miao Zhu must be a cyborg created by the system, he couldn't help but be moved by that sanctimonious appearance.

Stretched out his hand to take the token, it was warm and delicate, it was actually the material of Tian Huangshi. The vermilion seal on the front of the oval token: Zhengda is bright, but the small seal on the back is engraved with the Mingjiao slogan: What is the joy of life, and what is the pain of death? For the good to eliminate the evil, but the light is the same.

"What's the use of this token?"

Liang Hong asked, he didn't know what to call this temple zhu. The immortal chief is inappropriate, this seems to be his subordinate. It doesn't seem appropriate to really look at it as a subordinate, such a person should have a good position in this religion.

"Lord Muslim, my subordinates only know the purpose of this token in this temple, open the temple protection formation, activate the temple strengthening missionary mode, and protect the sect leader to enter and exit the temple freely."

"Very good"

Liang Hong nodded in approval, not knowing whether to say that Miao Zhu answered well or that the function of the token was good. Actually, he thinks it's all good.

"I don't know what the temple is called, and what is the status of this religion?"

"The old man's surname is the temple, the name is zero, and now he is the elder of the sect." Miao Zhu replied very humbly.

Temple Zero One, Liang Hong almost vomited when he heard it, isn't this his favorite way to name it?

"Elder Temple, there are a lot of stone pillars here, it seems to be a useful place?"

Liang Hong noticed that the stone pillars next to them were very unusual, and the pillars were painted with complex textures, but he couldn't see what the pattern was.

"The sect leader's eyes are like torches, these stone pillars are arranged according to the nine palace gossip, and the pillars are engraved with charms. The Great Array is usually used to screen believers, and devout believers can directly enter the temple through the main array to receive the baptism of light and divine light. Those who are obsessed will be screened out by the formation, punished by the formation, and then introduced into the temple after the obsession is eliminated. ”

Sure enough, it's religious brainwashing, and if you're stupid, you can put it in and wash it directly, and if you think you're smart, you can scare and scare more, and then brainwash if you're dizzy. Liang Hong slandered in his heart, he came from later generations and was well-informed, and such methods have long been rotten in the 21st century.

"If you are brainwashed, no, you are proselytized, and the believers don't understand Chinese, can the temple still be indoctrinated?"

"Brainwashing, the sect leader is really in a word, our temple is to let those poor people who are troubled by worldly evil thoughts wash away evil thoughts and completely shine in the light. The God of Light is ubiquitous and can teach English, French, Dutch, and even various indigenous languages to teach them Chinese scriptures and become devout believers in Mingjiao. ”

Liang Hong listened, a little chilled, indiscriminately brainwashed, is it so powerful or religious? It's terrible, if it's really so powerful, shouldn't I go to Europe to compete with the Pope?

"Can anyone really be educated?"

"Theoretically, this is true, but in reality, it is very difficult for many people with deep worldly evil thoughts to get rid of, especially those sinners who are very smart and have read too many worldly miscellaneous books, and the things in their minds are deeply ingrained, just like the leader said, it is difficult to brainwash them."

Oh, I see, it seems that it is still by deceiving those foolish men and fools, Liang Hong sighed. The easiest way to promote religion is those who are uneducated, and those who are educated, especially those who know scientific knowledge, are very few people who believe in religion madly. But fortunately, this is southern Africa, at this time almost all the indigenous people are uneducated, the vast majority of tribes have a language but no writing, and are 100% scientifically illiterate.

He weighed the Sect Master Token in his hand, and then asked.

"Is there any special use for this stone pillar formation?"

"Of course there is, the special use is that the sect leader uses the token in his hand to activate the temple protection mechanism, and the formation composed of these stone pillars will be aggressive, and it can trap and kill a small number of intruders."

Miao Lingyi explained very patiently, Liang Hong couldn't help but admire, the products produced by the system are really high-quality, it seems that this time he is crooked, and he has picked up a big bargain.

However, the magic of the temple was unheard, and he still couldn't believe it if he hadn't seen the example with his own eyes. Thinking about it, the person he created through the system is loyal to him by default, and now the only one who is not loyal here is the little native who was captured. Okay, just send this kid in to try, and it can be regarded as solving the little trouble by the way.

With this artifact, Liang Hong has another identity as a sect leader in addition to the identity of the base commander. Mingjiao, what impressed him the most was Zhang Wuji, this guy is so glamorous, many beauties fight for him to die and live, but where are his beauties?

Returning to the base bunker and clicking on the bronze mirror, he discovered the other benefits of the temple. Under the barracks, there is an extra kind of manufacturable personnel, the missionary, which costs 200 yuan, the same as the craftsman. Liang Hong is estimated to be a guy like Miao Lingyi who can speak well, and it seems that brainwashing people is also a profession, and it is also about technology and qualifications.

The day after he returned, Liang Hong had to face the reality again and needed to find a way to make money. So he returned to his old business, and the mining wagon continued to drive, and he and Jia Zero Yi continued to escort as usual. Fortunately, this time with horses and a rifle in his hand, his combat ability has been greatly improved, and he has more security.

On February 19, after four days of construction, the weapons workshop was finally completed as scheduled.

Liang Hong got up early and came to the bronze mirror, and the icon of the weapon workshop had changed from gray to shiny. Clicking on the icon will reveal a long list of craftable items, from sabers and spears for cold weapons to rifles for hot weapons, bullets and grenades made of black powder, pyrotechnics from before 1878, and even mining wagons.

Liang Hong carefully looked at the list of manufactures for a long time, and finally found two facts that had to be faced. First, all the rifles that can be made are very old, and you can't make magazine-type rifles. Second, the bullets manufactured are all black powder. That is, the Mauser 1893 rifle in his hand, there are still no bullets to replenish.

Abominable technological limitations, he remembered what Xiaobai had said, the technical level of the primary base could only reach the current world twenty years ago, that is, before 1878. Both magazine rifles and smokeless powder bullets were first used in 1886, with the Austrian Manlicia M1886 rifle being the first to be fed with magazines, and the French Lebel M1886 rifle being the first to use smokeless powder bullets.

The enthusiasm was poured with a scoop of cold water, and I wanted to replenish some bullets first, but now it looked like I needed to change the gun. At present, there are two rifles in hand, the Mauser Model 1893 and the Lee Enfield Model 1895, although the guns are both good guns, but unfortunately they will not be used for long without ammunition replenishment. However, from the point of view of urgency, the first thing in the list of guns and ammunition is how to make money as soon as possible. Now there are only more than 100 funds in the account, and that is still earned from mining a truckload of ore yesterday, Liang Hong has no choice but to give priority to the manufacture of explosives, preparing to use blasting to open the mine to speed up the mining.

Black powder is 1 yuan per kilogram, which is cheap but less powerful. Plastic Nobel jelly, invented by Nobel in the seventies of the nineteenth century, is made of nitrocellulose mixed with nitroglycerin, and is also in the manufacturing list, 2 yuan per kilogram. Liang Hong remembered that this thing was still used even in later generations, it was safe to use and powerful, more violent than pure nitroglycerin, and it was definitely much more cost-effective. So the order was given, and all the rest of the money was used to produce Nobel jelly.
