Chapter 690: Small Surprises and Surprises
The speed of news transmission in this era is really embarrassing. How to solve this problem, Chen Xie racked his brains but to no avail. The steam era has just kicked off, and there are still quite a long years before the electric age. Chen Xie felt that he must not be able to see this day when a small accident happened.
After dinner, the door of the study was closed, this was the time for Chen Xie to be alone, and Master Chen explained to the guards, and everyone was fifty meters away from the courtyard where the study was located. This kind of thing hasn't happened for a long time, and the guards are a little uncomfortable, but they still resolutely carry out this order. No one will explain to Chen Xie, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.
According to the handwriting displayed on the LCD screen, Chen Xie took off the "watch" on his wrist, put it on the desk, and then squinted at the thing. Time passed in the tick-tock onomatopoeia, and a vague black hole appeared in the air, slowly becoming clearer. "Oops, the shoes are wrong, Daming should wear embroidered shoes, wait for me to change one." The foot that had just stretched out from it shrugged back again, and when Chen Xie felt that the egg hurt, an embroidered shoe appeared.
Wu Qi, who was dressed in Ming costumes, looked quite unusual. In the Ming Dynasty, there are very few women with a height of more than 170, this anthropomorphic guy, don't you know the word disobedience? The tragic experience made Chen Xie, the great lord of the Ming Dynasty, feel the sadness of Dandan. At the beginning, Chen Xie was very conscious and gave up the way to solve the problem by reasoning.
"The air in the Ming Dynasty is really good." Wu Qi sighed, and Chen Xie spread his hands and said, "It's just such a pitiful advantage." ”
"You haven't seen me in such a long time, aren't you going to hug me?" Wu Qi stepped forward with a smile and asked, Chen Xie's reaction was to take a step back, and asked with a look of disgust and vigilance: "Why are you here?" ”
Wu Qi seemed to be struck and showed sad eyes. After finding out that he hadn't deceived anyone, he regained his previous coldness: "You have become very rational now, and it's not fun at all." After speaking, he found a chair and sat down, Chen Xie looked at her silently, and did not mean to take the initiative to ask, especially this guy who came uninvited to disturb his peaceful uncle's life.
Look at Chen Xie's intention to continue to take the initiative to ask questions. Wu Qi spoke: "I brought bad news. Chen Xie continued to be silent, his face expressionless. The cabinet career of the Ming Dynasty cultivated Chen Xie's psychological element of not being surprised.
"Okay, I'll continue. There are some problems with the space-time tunnel, and I won't explain the specifics. I have come to tell you that you have two choices, one is to go back with me, and the other is to stay, and never have to go back. Remember. You only get one chance to choose. Although Chen Xie still looked calm, his heart was full of ups and downs. The survival of the current society has always been Chen Xie's retreat. Every time I encounter a problem, I always think that it is nothing more than to go back to modern times. Now there is no such thing as a final retreat, which means that he can only choose between the two. Leave? Deep down, Chen Xie quickly denied this answer.
"What do you mean you only have one choice?" Chen Xie asked rhetorically, and Wu Qi looked at him in surprise and said, "You have become smart now." What this means is that there is now a limit to the number of times you can travel through time travel. And you, only one chance. Or a one-way trip. There is no time limit for the specific time, and you can do it at any time. ”
Although a preliminary industrial system has been established in Daming, many things are still dependent on the future. Over the years, Chen Xie has worked hard to downplay the goods from the future, and has continuously promoted the production and research and development of substitutes. Some products solve the problem of substitutes, but the quality is a little worse. Some products are far away, such as some steels that are very common in society now.
Actually, if Wu Qi doesn't come. Chen Xie was already planning to go back, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
After pondering for a long time, he looked up at Wu Qi's Chen Xie, and found that this guy's expression seemed unnatural, and he subconsciously asked, "Is there anything you want to say?" "In words. Chen Xie brought a deep concern, although there were not many pleasant memories between the two.
"Nothing, let's get down to business. I brought everything I could bring with me, all of which were purchased by companies in the modern society. They thought you were dead abroad, and I used a strange face to talk about procurement. These three women have cashed out all your property in modern society, and then immigrated to Canada together. By the way, your villa is still there, and the rest is gone. ”
When Chen Xie heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and this result was not bad. What the future holds, who knows? Maybe I really won't go back, but it's just a chance anyway. "Thank you, I'm relieved when I know they're all right."
"It's the first time you've said thank you to me, well, for the sake of your woman's face that cares about you first, I don't care about your faux pas. Here's the list, take a look. Where are the things placed? Wu Qi said and handed over a thick stack of forms, Chen Xie was dumbfounded when he looked at it, so much, I really didn't expect it.
Chen Xie flipped it up very carefully, the largest amount of materials on this trip was steel, up to three million tons, which was the most gratifying news for Chen Xie. Other things are dispensable, science and technology-related information, Chen Xie has long collected the scientific and technological information that played a guiding role in the two industrial revolutions, to ensure that the science and technology tree of the Ming Dynasty will not be crooked. When he turned to the last page, Chen Xie's eyes lit up and said: "How can there be hand-cranked telephones, hand-cranked generators, and small diesel engines?" And what the hell is this farm tricycle? ”
"Of course, it's from my own handiwork, and it's a parting gift. The devil knows if there is still a chance for you to be awakened. If you save a little bit of it, these things I brought with me will last you for ten years. ”
Chen Xie looked at this guy with a human appearance, but no human vital signs, with a complicated expression. Suddenly, I don't know where the impulse came from, I stood up and strode forward, and at the moment when Wu Qi was stunned, I opened my arms and hugged her tightly. Softness, warmth, elasticity, these human signs can be felt.
There was a long pause in the study, as if time had stood still for a moment. I don't know how long it took, Wu Qi gently pushed Chen Xie away, and there were tears on his face. "Alright, it's time for me to go. Once the warehouse is built, just enter the address on the monitor and the program will automatically execute the task. Remember, the next time I wake up, it's goodbye. ”

Chen Xie's face was ugly when he walked out of the study, no one knew what was going on, and no one dared to ask what was going on. Chen Xie is like a wolf walking through the grassland alone, silently controlling an indescribable anxiety in his heart.
Chen Xie, who walked out of the courtyard, wandered in the garden with a sense of reins, a kind of lonely ghost love, which made it difficult for him to calm down. Several times, Chen Xie planned to wake up Wu Qi immediately and return to modern society, but he finally gave up his choice.
It was already late at night, and there wasn't much moonlight to see on the forest road. I haven't conquered this era yet! Chen Xie, who woke up suddenly, looked up and saw the faint lights, and walked towards the lights. Turning a rockery, Chen Xie saw Zhou and Ye's two daughters, with lanterns and maids, looking around. When they saw Chen Xie, the two showed surprise and stepped forward quickly.
Ye Xianyun: "Master, how to run around in the dark light, it's not okay to worry." ”
Zhou Xiuying: "Master, if the slave family does something wrong, just beat and scold, why bother yourself?" ”
Chen Xie smiled, this is the Ming Dynasty! These two women are just because they give them some deserved respect, and they can be exchanged for their dead hearts. At this time, Chen Xie realized that it was not only the conquest of the world that bound him in this era, but also the emotional entanglement given to him by these living people. Unlike the modern three, in just a few years, there was no news of Chen Xie, so they gave up waiting and calmly went to find a new life. Although they really don't owe Chen Xie anything.

I know that you are very unhappy with me, and even wish that a lightning bolt would fall and kill me immediately, but unfortunately, no matter how you dislike me, you have to sit down and talk to me obediently, and accept my various conditions that are almost insulting.
Knight, who was sitting opposite Chen Xie, was in a very bad mood at the moment. If possible, he would love to pick up the sword in his hand and stab the malevolent guy on the other side.
Chen Xie's conditions are no longer as harsh. The Netherlands was indeed powerful in this era, but after the outbreak of the Anglo-Dutch War, the strength of this sea coachman was a bit of a misnomer. Knight, who was in the Mediterranean, relied on some of the cannons he purchased from Chen Xie to achieve some small victories, barely able to maintain an equilibrium. But in the Strait of Dover, the Dutch suffered an even more miserable defeat than in history.
The First Anglo-Dutch War ended in a British victory. Of course, the reason for Britain's victory was inseparable from the inappropriate strategic deployment of the other side -- concentrating superior forces in the secondary theater and ignoring the life-and-death Strait of Dover and the North Sea theater, but more importantly, it was probably due to Britain's strong industrial strength -- its ability to quickly replenish its combat strength, the correctness of its strategic guiding ideology, and the fact that its navy's equipment, numbers, firepower, and even tactical level were superior to those of the Netherlands.
The war was still going on, and with no hope of victory, Knight couldn't wait to come to Daming to seek an opportunity to win the next war. To do this, he persuaded the upper echelons of the Dutch kingdom to use a fortune at his disposal.
"No, the Kingdom of the Netherlands cannot accept the price of withdrawing from Borneo." Knight endured his anger and took the case.
Chen Xie still sat still, and said indifferently: "I know, but I won't change my opinion." I would also like to remind you that while you were resupplying at Dayuan Island, a British ship departed from Manila and should now be almost at Huating. What I want to say is that if you don't want to withdraw from Borneo, what awaits you will be the artillery fire of the Ming fleet. ”
"Bastard, scoundrel!" Knight cursed Chen Xie in his native language, but the guy was obviously not angry at all. (To be continued......)
