Luo Yu, whose clothes were full of dust and dirt, stood up under everyone's gaze, and bowed to Lin Feng and said: "Lord Huilin, my subordinates have traveled all over Bagong Mountain and its surroundings in the past three months, and found coal mines in Xia Cai and other places, and the reserves should be not small, and my subordinates have sent people to try to mine them; Many peaks in Bagong Mountain have the limestone that Lin Daren said, and the amount is huge, mainly because it is inconvenient to mine and transport; That kind of volcanic ash, only one place was found to match the description of Lord Lin; An ore vein has also been found in the iron mine, but it is exposed to a small and small extent on the ground, and it still faces the problem of deep mining."

Lin Feng pondered for a while, coal and iron resources are available, but the problem of mining is the bottleneck, if the steam engine can be invented as soon as possible, everything will be done! Limestone and volcanic ash are mixed together, this is the most primitive natural cement, and then the progress of all construction can be accelerated!

After a while, Lin Feng exhaled lightly and said, "I suddenly remembered something, that kind of almost transparent glass seems to be fired from that kind of limestone, you should pay attention to it when you study." As for mining, there is no better way to do it now, so we can only send more people. Mr. Lu, you can coordinate and select more capable people from the original Academy of Sciences and the workers of various factories, and Mr. Luo will make overall arrangements to speed up the mining of coal, iron, limestone, and volcanic ash, and the wages can be appropriately increased. Go back and talk to Zhao Bin and them, and spare time to produce a batch of mining tools as soon as possible. ”

Lu Jiang hurriedly bowed down.

Lin Feng asked them if they had any problems and difficulties at present, and everyone shook their heads in unison, Lin Feng emphasized the issue of confidentiality at the end, and asked Deng Jiayu, the former diviner of the Taibu Bureau, to stay.

Deng Jiayu, who was left alone, looked at Lin Feng a little inexplicably.

Lin Feng poured Deng Jiayu a cup of tea and motioned for him to sit down close and speak: "Mr. Deng, what do you think of the Fan people Gazi participating in our scientific research and even becoming the de facto number one leader?" ”

"Lord Lin, please forgive your subordinates for being blunt, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" Deng Jiayu hesitated slightly and said unceremoniously.

Lin Feng stroked his palms and sighed, nodding in approval: "What Mr. Deng said is very much in line with me!" Previously, I also knew that Mr. Deng had a daily hobby of invention, interest, and talent, but to put it mildly, it was a bit of a closed-door feeling. Therefore, I did not include you in the core research circle at the beginning, because I wanted you to broaden your horizons and have more practical experience through participation in the construction of the Academy of Sciences, urban planning, and small inventions, so as to combine theory and practice. Now, I think the time has come. ”

Deng Jiayu's face was slightly red, and he nodded sincerely, very much recognizing Lin Feng's characterization of him.

"Your job is to study, to research. You have to follow Gazi step by step, he will know, you will know; He won't, you have to learn, and you have to know! Can it be done? Lin Feng asked in a deep voice.

Deng Jiayu paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The old man will do his best!" ”

"Good! From today onwards, you can come to me at any time to report on the progress of the work, and let's discuss scientific knowledge together! In addition, you should also pay attention to the talents that can be created in your daily life, don't hide your secrets, and pass on the help hand-in-hand! Lin Feng continued to command.

Deng Jiayu replied loudly.

Lin Feng wrote a warrant allowing Deng Jiayu to freely enter and leave the scientific secret academy in the city, stamped it with a big seal, and handed it to Deng Jiayu.

In the evening of the same day, Lin Feng, who felt flustered, didn't even finish dinner, so he held a secret military meeting again, and there were only three people in attendance: Feng Jingyun in charge of the secret group, Li Yuanqing in charge of the Northern Intelligence Department, and Ge Chang in charge of special forces.

Li Yuanqing first reported on the intelligence reconnaissance situation of the Northern Intelligence Department during this period:

Up to now, the Northern Intelligence Department has successfully set up secret bases in the three important riverside towns of Houzhou Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui), Suzhou (now Suzhou, Anhui), Bozhou (now Boxian, Shandong) and the north bank of the Huai River in the north of Shouzhou, and secretly developed a number of local intercroppings. The deputy team leader, Zheng Yucong, has completed the task of sending shocking thunder to Jinju, and is now establishing a secret base in Tokyo, and the latest news is expected to come soon.

"What about Murong Yanchao?" Lin Feng asked.

"I have sent my brother to sneak over to contact him, and he has not come back yet." Li Yuanqing replied.

Lin Feng nodded approvingly and turned his gaze to Feng Jingyun and Ge Chang.

Feng Jingyun said softly: "The dark group has absorbed seventy-two people, divided into twelve groups, and is conducting secret training. ”

Ge Chang replied in a deep voice: "All the brothers trained hard and were eager to try, and through the open competition, they successfully screened out twenty captains and twenty vice-captains. ”

Lin Feng looked at the three brothers with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "You have worked hard during this time! To be honest, the three of you and the team you lead are what I value the most, and you are the most reliable and the most reliable defense line in our Shouzhou. But during this time, the northern calm is a bit unusual. We can't wait for the enemy to move first, we have to strike first! Now, I command—"

The three of them immediately straightened up and stared at Lin Feng expectantly.

Lin Feng first pointed at Ge Chang and ordered: "From today on, except for the brothers who are on duty at key posts, the other three groups of special brothers will be a unit, and they will take turns to infiltrate the three states of Jiang, Ci, and Xi to help lead Liu Chengjun of the Northern Han Dynasty to fight the guerrilla warfare and completely turn the three states into a bleeding wound in the north that will never heal!" You made it clear to all the brothers in advance that all brothers who have not fought guerrilla warfare in the three states will not be promoted in the army in the future! ”

Ge Chang replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

The rest of the brothers were divided into two groups, one group took turns to sneak into the opposite bank, and reconnoitred all the towns, terrain, mountains, rivers, city defenses, and important military targets within a radius of 200 miles on the opposite bank, and organized them into an incomparably detailed enemy map! At the same time, we must start preparing several sets of operational plans for raiding key points behind enemy lines, and show them to me when they are perfected! The other is secretly strengthening the vigilance on both sides of the Huai River, inside and outside Shouzhou City, and the other party has also set up a special force, if those backward people successfully attack Shouzhou or other places in Datang, we should all jump into the river! Lin Feng said coldly.

"Yes!" Ge Chang straightened up and gently beat his chest in response.

Lin Feng pointed at Li Yuanqing again, and said sharply: "Yuanqing, you lead all your brothers to dispatch, and do everything possible to detect the opponent's combat preparations, focusing on the opponent's military strength, generals, local personnel, logistics and other signs of movement, any brother who finds any abnormal movement must report it as soon as possible!" ”

Li Yuanqing said loudly.

Lin Feng pointed at the wind and clouds again, and said sharply: "You are also all dispatched, and you will make every effort to detect the basic situation of key personnel such as the assassination history, long history, treasurer joining the army, and division soldiers joining the army in the other states, and each of you will formulate a targeted assassination plan to ensure that as soon as the order arrives, all the target personnel will fall to the ground!" ”

The wind sneered and agreed loudly.

Lin Feng looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The big war is imminent, there are many overlaps in the responsibilities and tasks of your three departments, I hope that you can communicate with each other at any time, and truly share intelligence, resources, and manpower, is there a problem?!" ”

"Nope!" The three of them replied in unison.
