Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is 5 years of Xihua.

The forces of all parties finally resolved the natural disaster and quelled the civil strife.

Spring, busy farming time.

Mi Yan and Fluttershy give birth to two boys.

Mi Yan's second son is the sixth in line and is named Ning Rui, and Fluttershy's son is the seventh in line and is named Ning Cheng.

The eldest Liu Xiu, the prince of Huaguo, the second daughter Ning Man, the first daughter, the third Ning Zheng, the fourth daughter Ning Qian, the fifth Ning Xiu, the sixth Ning Rui, and the seventh Ning Cheng.

The palace is really lively.

Ning Ze finally understood that in his previous life, he didn't know where to look at history, and there were emperors who couldn't even recognize his own children. At the time, I still felt, but now I understand that I don't have three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and I already have so many children.

There is no computer to arrange the number of children of those emperors, and it is really difficult to remember them all.

Front-line news, after a difficult year, the tripartite forces of Tang Niu, Lu Cong, and Ma Jian have changed again.

Ning Ze ordered soldiers throughout China to strengthen training, increase weapons, and prepare food and wages.

One night, something strange happened.

Around 22 o'clock in the evening, except for the patrol soldiers in Huajun City, they were all asleep. The sky suddenly lit up with a terrifying fire, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the entire city.

A huge fireball descended from the sky, streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, flew over Hwasa, and fell towards the wasteland north of the city.

At that time, it was like daylight, and almost everyone in the city of Huajun was awakened.

The patrol soldiers hurriedly reported to their superiors, and before they arrived at the palace, Ning Ze had already joined his wives and watched the huge fireball falling in amazement.

Many palace maids and soldiers inside the palace were shouting, saying that this was a heavenly punishment.

Liu Yuanxiang was a little worried when he heard this, and said to Ning Ze: "Why did the heavenly punishment come to the world? Could it be that I did something wrong? Or did I ascend the throne as a woman and become the emperor, annoying the heavens?"

It's normal to think so, people in this era are too superstitious and love to believe in this kind of thing.

Ning Ze said to her: "It's just a meteorite, it has nothing to do with heavenly punishment! But this matter must be controlled immediately, otherwise it will become more and more chaotic, and if it is used by enemy forces, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"But this kind of scene, no matter who sees it, they will think of heavenly punishment!" Liu Yuanxiang said hurriedly, "Once it is regarded as heavenly punishment, it will definitely be linked to me, how is it good?"

"Don't panic!" Chu Meiren next to him spoke, "Just order someone to inform the whole city, and say that this is Fujun's new immortal practice." ”

"Clever!" Ning Ze's eyes lit up, "The Lonely Society knows all the spells in the world, and it can easily win everyone's trust." When the enemy forces learn of this, they will inevitably be afraid, which will be beneficial to our country!"

"Yes, yes! That's it!" Liu Yuanxiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent an order down to inform the whole city. But he still couldn't put his mind at ease, and asked Ning Ze again, "Is this really not a heavenly punishment?"

"Don't worry, it's just a meteorite!" Ning Ze said affirmatively, "but it's the first time I've seen a meteorite at such a close distance." Fortunately, it did not fall into the city, if it caused casualties, it would be the real trouble! The meteorite fell on the wasteland in the north of the city, and the fire was raging there, and there was some trouble! Lone immediately led his troops over to extinguish the fire, and set up sentry posts around it to prevent the people or other countries from going to investigate. Stay in the city, and in a moment the officials will come and stabilize the people. Let's just say that Lone casts a spell!"

"Good!"

Ning Ze quickly left the palace, called the ghost-faced general Wang Wei, and led his troops to the wasteland north of the city.

Rushed to the vicinity of the wasteland, mobilized soldiers to carry water from nearby rivers, dug sand, and extinguished the fire caused by the meteorite fall in different ways.

I didn't close my eyes all night, and at 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, the fire was finally completely extinguished, but most of the wasteland was burned black.

In the middle of the wasteland, the exaggerated trajectory caused by the meteorite falling and sliding forward, as well as the amazing crater, not to mention the soldiers of this era, even Ning Ze himself was amazed.

The team moved in the direction of the meteorite, and when they reached a certain distance, the soldiers in the front row suddenly let out an exclamation.

"What's going on?" Ning Ze stepped forward and asked.

"Lord Wang, it seems that someone is using witchcraft and wants to take away the weapon!" The soldiers in front of him clutched their respective weapons tightly, with a look of panic on their faces, "Could it be that in that pit, there is a monster that fell from the sky?"

Ning Ze's weapons are all in the famous carry column, so he can't feel it.

When he turned his head, he found that all the soldiers, including Wang Wei, were clutching their weapons tightly and were very nervous.

"Stop!" he quickly ordered, his gaze falling to the crater, "There are no such monsters here, if you guessed correctly, this meteorite contains a lot of magnets! The closer you get, the stronger the magnetism! ”

"Whoa!"

Led by Wang Wei, all the soldiers retreated to the safe area one after another, each put down the weapons in their hands, and those with iron armor also took off to ensure that there was no metal on their bodies, so as to keep up with Ning Ze.

Ning Ze walked to the crater first and saw a meteorite the size of a millstone lying inside.

Don't look at the amazing sound when it falls from the sky, like a huge fireball, and after landing, it is almost lost.

At this moment, the crater was still very hot, or hot, and Ning Ze didn't dare to go in directly.

If you really want to jump, you can burn your feet with your shoes on.

Wang Wei, who put down the metal armor in the back, rushed over with the soldiers, and a few of them wanted to make meritorious contributions and jumped directly into the trajectory leading to the crater, and they were suddenly so hot that they screamed, and they couldn't even stop it.

By the time their companions pulled them up, the soles of their shoes had been burned, and the soles of their feet were red and full of hot bubbles.

"The temperature inside is extremely high, don't enter it easily!" Ning Ze frowned and shouted, "Tell me to go down and guard the entire wasteland, and no one will be allowed to enter without permission!"

"Lord Wang," Wang Wei glanced at the meteorite that was still bubbling with Mars, "Did you order someone to carry the water?"

Ning Ze nodded when he heard this: "Yes, ask someone to carry water over and quickly cool down!" But be careful, the composition of the meteorite is still unclear, don't directly pour water on it, just pour sparks around!"

"Whew!" the soldier began to fetch water again, pouring buckets around the crater, starting from the outside to cool the hot ground.

It's just that the smoke emitted during this period is quite uncomfortable.

The strength of the people was great, and after thousands of soldiers poured water non-stop, they finally poured out all the craters nearby.

Ning Ze asked someone to prepare tools and carriages, carefully carried them into the cart, and sent them directly to the secret research institute.

When he went to the secret research institute to conduct experiments in person, it was determined that more than half of this meteorite was composed of magnets, and there were different kinds of metal minerals left, which was not much.

Metals are not important, there are mainly no rare and rare metal substances, but this magnet makes Ning Ze extremely excited.

I sent people to search for magnets before, but the harvest was not high.

It is reported that the most famous magnet mine in the sixteen states is in Baotai County, which is ruled by Ma Jian.

It was not easy to obtain a small amount of magnets through the caravan, and the production of pendulum clocks was consumed, and they had to continue to purchase them in Baotai County through the Chamber of Commerce.

Knowing that it was Huajun who was buying magnets, Ma Jian deliberately made it difficult, the price of magnets was ridiculously high, and the number of allowed transactions was very small each time, and it was actually very depressing to be monopolized.

I didn't expect that meteorites the size of grinding discs fell from the sky, most of which were made of magnets, and God helped me!

Magnets are a good thing, and there are a lot of important technologies that rely on them.

Ning Ze's first thought was a generator and a telegraph.

Although it is still difficult for industrial technology to make it perfectly, there is always a way to overcome this problem. Once a generator is built, all sorts of simple appliances can gradually open up to research, allowing you to return to the age of electricity. Even if it can't be made with high technology, it is an epoch-making product.

As for the telegraph, it was more powerful than the flying pigeon, which could send signals to great distances, and communicate with distant places through codes. And it's very safe, no matter how smart Sima Fa is, he can't imitate the telegraph.

There is also the possibility of being intercepted and secretly exchanged letters, and the telegraph is much safer.

It is not so simple to achieve these two things, even if all the skilled craftsmen of the secret research institute study day and night, and have their own theoretical knowledge as a foreshadowing, it is impossible to succeed in a short period of time.

In any case, this magnet meteorite is Ning Ze's hope, and it is up to Ning Ze to continue to move forward with technology!

The impact of the nighttime meteorite caused the whole city of Huajun to boil.

As soon as the morning came, from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people at dawn, all they talked about was the "fireball descending" last night.

Due to the timely notification of the whole city by the imperial court, the fireball that fell from the sky yesterday was obtained by King Danyang's cultivation of immortal arts, and the statement of heavenly punishment was quickly suppressed, and a wave of crises was successfully resisted.

The image of Ning Ze proficient in spells has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if it were someone else, the people might have doubts, and when Ning Ze said this, it seemed to be taken for granted.

So the content of the conversation throughout the whole process became whether the King of Danyang had become an immortal, what kind of spell did the King of Danyang practice, and was the huge fireball that fell from the sky a means used by the King of Danyang to attack the enemy?

There was a lot of talk, and many people even put a break from their day's work to either chatter and discuss in the city, or go out of the city to see where the fireball had landed.

However, the city was already guarded by soldiers, and anyone who came near the wasteland was driven away.

Even if Ning Ze took the magnet to the secret research institute, he didn't open the crater, firstly, he needed to avoid panic in the whole city, the situation caused by this side of the wasteland was too amazing! On the other hand, he didn't know what strange things the crater had besides the magnet meteorite. Although it is extremely unlikely, if creatures from outer space are found in the crater, what if these creatures will cause great harm to ordinary people?

Even if the probability is close to zero, you can't let up.

After determining the composition of the meteorite, Ning Ze immediately drew a schematic diagram of a simple generator and telegraph, and asked the members of the institute to slowly study this technology according to their own drawings.

Regardless of the success, it means a lot to him.

The members of the secret research institute had a splitting headache when they saw the drawings of the generator and telegraph, and then looked at the whole piece of meteorite.

It's more difficult than they ever imagined!
