Pudong, snowy night.

Qin Beiyang hugged everyone and said: "Except for the little county king, several of us have been to the North Pole together, adventured on a remote island in the ice sea, and almost lost our lives, this is our fate." You have also seen the secrets of the tomb beast, and even opened the nine-colored body and seen its true face of Lushan. This is predestined. ”

Nine colors lead the neck, yo yo deer roar.

The wild night in Lujiazui, Pudong, and the wind and snow of Christmas, have the illusion of returning to the North Pole.

"Qin Beiyang."

"Li Longsheng."

"Chanko."

"Timur is only a catty."

“giuseppe caproni。”

The four of them toasted each other, saying their names in turn, and the last one was Giuseppe Caproni.

"The Huangpu River is proof! The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are the witnesses! The four of us swore together to set up a factory here to develop and produce the tomb beast flying machine, for China, for Asia, for the world, to open up the world. ”

Qin Beiyang spoke it in Chinese first, Li Longsheng spoke English once, Qian Ke spoke French once, Xiaojunwang spoke Mongolian once, and Caproni spoke Italian once.

Lao Jin and Zhongshan, on behalf of Qin Beiyang's subordinates, also knelt behind their masters, drinking and swearing. Only the town's tomb beast Nine Colors looked at them coldly.

"I'm in charge of talking about this land! My father has been in business in Shanghai for many years and has a lot of connections, so he will not let the landlords in Pudong sit on the land and raise the price. Qian Ke got up and walked around, "If you want to leave enough space for the future, you must use the Huangpu River port to build a wharf, plus a factory, a power workshop, a scientific research building and a laboratory...... Another airstrip, airship warehouse, and aircraft warehouse, covering an area of at least 1,500 acres, exceeds the scale of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau! ”

Li Longsheng looked at the other side of the Huangpu River: "Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is already the largest factory in China at the moment!" ”

"If you calculate the minimum of 3,000 silver dollars per mu of land, it will cost 4.5 million yuan to buy land alone."

Where does the money come from?

Qin Beiyang said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, I'll provide all the funds!" ”

"You? Beiyang, where did you get the money? ”

Qian Ke looked Qin Beiyang up and down, seeing that he was dressed in a simple craftsman's robe, and he couldn't even afford to eat a restaurant at the party, so he could only go to the wild to learn from the ancients to eat snow, which was the style of a poor egg.

"Please rest assured, Beiyang is no longer Wuxia Ameng."

Before Qin Beiyang went down the mountain, he had taken out 1% of the 500 tons of gold in Taibai Mountain's secret treasure from Ah You, secretly transported it to Xi'an, and deposited it into several bank accounts, which was enough to be used as the start-up capital of the factory.

"Settle the title deeds as soon as possible and pay them on the same day." Qin Beiyang scolded Fang Xuan, like a few Yuan Datou asking for a meal, "Recently, the Shanghai stock market has plummeted, and someone wants to ask me to buy the bottom!" ”

Speaking of this, the little county king reminded: "I forgot one thing, what is the name of this factory?" ”

Qin Beiyang was already confident, Lao Jin took the four treasures of the study, studied ink for the master, and asked him to write a line of big characters, which was actually the chapter grass style of "Yellow Ear Post" in Lu Ji's tomb

Ink Tiangong Aircraft Company

The so-called "ink man" is the disciple of Mozi in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, who is not only a ranger who "violates the ban with force", but also a craftsman who works wonderfully.

The so-called "heavenly work", a pun on the word, is not only a heavenly creation, but also a flying machine in the sky, and even has the meaning of destiny.

On this night, there was a lot of snow in Pudong......

Before the Spring Festival in 1922, after several bargains and discounts, Qin Beiyang paid 4 million silver dollars and got the title deed of 1,500 acres of farmland in Lujiazui.

Together with Li Longsheng and Qian Ke, he completed the factory drawings, a world-class factory on 1,500 acres of land, like a prehistoric monster jumping on paper. Taking advantage of the low price of land now, I am afraid that the price will double when the factory is fully operational.

He registered a company called Taibaishan in the Shanghai Public Concession, with two shareholders: Qin Beiyang and Hong Tianyou with a capital of 10 million silver dollars, both of which were exchanged for gold by Ayou.

70% of Taibaishan Holdings established a subsidiary "Mozhi Tiangong Aircraft Company", and Qin Beiyang, chairman of the board. Qian Ke served as the general manager. Timur, the king of small counties, served as deputy general manager. Li Longsheng is the chief scientist. Chief engineer and test pilot Giuseppe Caproni, who together possess the remaining dry shares.

However, there is one most important thing missing for the plant to really work.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qin Beiyang's burns healed. He went to Hongkou, Ouyang's Dharma's Sea Mountain, like an ancient tomb that had been looted. Under the gloomy dark clouds, he touched a handful of charred stones in the ruins, his eyes were moist, and the nine-colored yoyo deer chirped.

"Let's go!"

Qin Beiyang gave an order and stepped onto the sweaty and bloody horse ghost. Lao Jin rode a pale chestnut silver-maned stallion, and Zhongshan rode a chrysanthemum green mare.

Three people, three horses, and one beast, bid farewell to Shanghai and embarked on a thousand-mile journey to the north.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. The most important raw materials for the Tomb Beast Flying Machine are not steel, engines, and parts, but the Heart Spirit Stone of the Tomb Beast.

Even if the hearts of all the tomb beasts imprisoned in Taibai Mountain are dug out, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the factory to stuff its teeth.

The only way to do this is to find the veins of spirit stones buried in nature, just like creating a new tomb beast every time.

The spirit stone is the craziest stone in the world, which can not only maintain the mechanical power of the tomb beast for thousands of years, but also burn out the lifespan of a human within a few years, such as the cancer cells buried in Qin Beiyang's body.

Where do these crazy stones come from?

Qin Beiyang remembered a place.

Qin Beiyang personally experienced the construction of two tomb beasts, the first time was at the age of ten, following his father to build tomb beasts for Emperor Guangxu, starting from the Qingxi Tomb to Taihang Mountain, finding a cave under a large rock on the side of the mountain stream, and found a large piece of spirit stone. The second time was at the age of sixteen, when the Qin father and son built a tomb beast for Yuan Shikai and used the Lingshi cave on Taihang Mountain.

The eleventh year of the Republic of China, 1922, spring.

He set out from Shanghai, rode a sweaty horse and a ghost, took Lao Jin, Zhongshan and Jiuse, crossed the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the north, reached Zhili Province in the Great Plain of North China, passed through Yi County in Baoding Prefecture, and entered Taihang Mountain through the Qingxi Tomb. This is the road that followed his father Qin Customs, and more than ten years have passed, and even the reference objects of each mountain pass passed by are still vivid.

Where the spirit stone is located, it is the area where the dragon veins are most vigorous. Lao Jin also heard about this: "There are also many minerals buried in this mountain, and many miners come here to dig gold, silver, copper and iron, but no one comes to dig spiritual stones." First, spirit stones are extremely scarce, and they can be encountered but not sought; And it is because the spirit stone is harmful to the human body, and ordinary people dare not touch it easily. ”

"If you are a dying person, you are not afraid!" Qin Beiyang alluded to himself, and glanced at Jiu Se again, this small town tomb beast had several spirit stones in its belly, "You too!" Spirit stone glutton! ”
