Lishan, the camp of the Mengjia army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Ying Zheng had a smile on the corner of his mouth, gently fiddling with the dark iron snail he had just made with Ji Fa.

It is said that it is made together, but Ying Zheng is also a starter, and it is more about learning the operation of each step.

Next to the snail was a stone bowl containing a blackened magma with a slightly blackened surface, showing signs of cooling, but still glowing with wisps of heat.

This stone bowl is smeared with the juice spit out by the Ice Gu, and the objects used by the ghost hands, the magma contained in it is also a semi-finished product that has been filtered and impurities removed.

After seven days, Thumb and the Ghost Hand have completed all the required equipment.

The magma in this stone bowl is a sample made after the first trial of the device.

However, the weight of this stone bowl was not intended to be made into dense stone, but to be used on the black iron snail, because Ji Fa told him that the black iron snail transformed into a compass form could also identify the composition of the magma, so that he could find the nearby fire eye.

This function is too important for Ying Zheng, after all, in the next few years, he will find one by one fire eyes to complete his mission.

In order to prevent the magma from melting the compass, some special treatment is required for the magma.

Next to the stone bowl where the lava was placed, there were two stone bowls and two stone spoons.

In one of the stone bowls, there was some white juice, which looked a little sticky, and you could feel the slightest chill.

This is the juice that Ice Gu spits out.

It is also the core of the core in the process of making dense stone.

It can be said that as long as there is enough of this ice Gu juice, even if there is no ice Gu and no ghost hands, Ying Zheng can make a secret stone.

But if there were no Ice Gu, there would be no endless stream of Ice Gu juice, and if there were no ghost hands, no one would be able to feed the Ice Gu.

Ying Zheng wore ice silk gloves and carefully picked up a stone spoon, scooped up a little ice Gu juice, and poured it into the empty stone bowl.

Then he slowly poured a little bit of magma into the stone bowl just now.

The black-red magma and the snow-white ice Gu juice melted together, instantly emitting bursts of "zizi" sounds.

This is a real blend of ice and fire, a collision of cold and heat, a fight between two opposing forces.

However, after a sound, everything calmed down, and in the stone bowl, two liquid substances were tightly pressed together, and there were no more waves.

Ying Zheng once again gently touched the magma with the stone spoon, and then touched the ice Gu juice, and when he saw that there was no reaction, he slowly stirred it.

The sound was gone, but wisps of mist rose from the bowl.

Ying Zheng hesitated slightly, and when he saw that there was no violent reaction, he continued to stir.

These are two extremes, two elements that restrain each other, but in the slow stirring, they gradually merge together.

The mist disappeared, and the liquid substance in the bowl turned grayish-yellow.

Ying Zheng took back the stone spoon and carefully observed the changes in the stone bowl.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no change in the stone bowl, and it seemed that the temperature had dropped completely, and the contents of the stone bowl no longer seemed to be liquid, but more like a gelatin.

Ying Zheng picked up two hairs that had been prepared in advance and gently placed them on the gum.

There was no change in the hair, and the temperature of the gum seemed to have cooled down completely.

Ying Zheng picked up his hair, looked at it carefully, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, he picked up the stone spoon again and took a little gum.

Fortunately, it wasn't too sticky, and Ying Zheng put a fingernail-sized piece of glue on the dark iron compass.

The inner ring on the compass slowly turns and begins to grind this small piece of glue.

In less than half an hour, the rubber particles had disappeared on the compass.

Ying Zheng touched the compass with ice silk gloves, but didn't feel anything unusual, so he took the black iron snail again

Placed on the compass.

As always, the darkiron spiraled.

Probably

After seven or eight turns, the dark iron snail stopped, and the direction pointed by the end of the pointer was the direction where the fire eye was.

"Haha, it's done." Ying Zheng laughed.

This series of operations shows that this dark iron snail has exactly the same function as before, and it can be used to find fire eyes in the future.

As for the other minerals, let's wait until we return to Xianyang.

Just as he was proud, Ji Fa walked in from outside carrying a cloth bag.

"How's it going, is it easy to use?" Ji Fa asked.

"Hmm!" Ying Zheng nodded vigorously and said happily, "It's been tested, and now it can recognize the direction of the fire eye."

"Hehe, that's good." Ji Fa smiled with satisfaction, and then handed the cloth bag in his hand to Ying Zheng, "Here, the simple compass you want."

"Hehe, it's done so soon." Ying Zheng took the cloth bag, opened it, and took out the contents of it.

This is a compass that is much simpler than the Xuantie snail disk, and it is specially used for guiding directions.

At the time of refinement, Yingzheng promised Wuchan to make a simple ordinary compass dedicated to pointing to the south, and named it "Sinan".

Since the dark iron snails have been made, let's make Sinan by the way, after all, this thing is very useful in the desert.

Ji Fa heard about Ying Zheng's idea, and he was also very supportive of promoting an object that could guide the direction in the world, so after making the dark iron snail, he directly drove Sinan out of it.

Ying Zheng opened the compass, and there were no layers of roulette in it, the structure was quite simple, and there was an iron spoon-like thing in the middle.

Ying Zheng flattened Sinan's compass, and then lightly turned the "spoon handle" with his hand, and Sinan spun around.

After a few laps, Sinan stopped, and a section of the pointer pointed to the south.

"Hey, it works!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Why, can't you trust the old man's craftsmanship?" Ji Fa asked with a raised brow.

"Why, I thought that this new object had just been made, why didn't I modify it a few times, but I didn't think about it, it was done once." Ying Zheng said with a grin.

"What's so strange about that." Ji Fa said, "This Sinan, it's just the most basic principle of the Xuantie snail, didn't the old man teach you, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, we can make as much as we want."

"That's not going to work." Yingzheng shook his head like a rattle and said, "In that case, this Sinan will not be expensive."

"Hahaha, you." Ji Fa smiled heartily, "You want Wu Chan to remember you."

Ying Zheng didn't speak, and seemed to have acquiesced.

"Alas!" Ji Fa sighed and said, "It is an ordinary thing for this man and woman to have feelings for each other, but it is indeed difficult for your respective identities to achieve what you want."

"Senior, you're ...... You know?" Ying Zheng asked weakly.

Ji Fa nodded and said, "Thumb, he told the old man a long time ago."

"Thumb?" Ying Zheng was slightly surprised, "He doesn't look like a person who tells the truth."

"How do you know he's trying to tell the truth?" Ji Fa said, "He told the old man that he wanted to promote your good deeds."

Ying Zheng felt weird, why did he always feel like Ji Fa and Thumb were meeting his in-laws.

"Uh, so he wants to know what his predecessor means?" Ying Zheng asked tentatively.

"Well, that's good." Ji Fa said.

"That ......" Ying Zheng looked slightly twisted, "Senior, do you think this matter is ...... Is it possible?"

"Hahaha......" Ji Fa suddenly laughed, "Originally, the old man thought that our goal would be difficult to achieve, but if there is a relationship between the Exquisite Queen and you, things will become simpler."

Ying Zheng asked thoughtfully, "Is it ...... that the predecessor is referring to?"

Ji Fa stroked his white beard and said slowly

"Didn't the old man tell you before that due to the management of the dragon vein and the fire eye, the water of the Yellow River may become extremely turbid, and the Western Regions will also be swallowed by the wind and sand."

"Well," Ying Zheng nodded, "I arrived at the edge of the millstone of the sand

I am also thinking about whether the grinding disc of sand will be related to the eye of fire, and if we restore the natural source power, will the grinding disc of sand decrease, or will it continue to expand."

Ji Fa sighed lightly and said, "The old man didn't mention the Sand Mill Disc to you before, because he didn't want you to worry about this matter too early, and as a result, you have already mentioned it just now, if we repair the natural source power, it will inevitably release its power through the red stream to counterattack, and the core of that power is under the Sand Mill Plate."

Ying Zheng: "!!"

As expected.

Ying Zheng's previous guess was right, all along, the gradual expansion of the sand mill disc is because of the effect of natural source power, and the core of its backlash is really in that area, which means that the sand mill disc will speed up the expansion, and even, sweep the entire Western Regions!

"Senior, is there any way to stop or slow down the spread of the Sand Mill and limit it to a certain range?" Ying Zheng asked eagerly.

Ji Fa sighed and shook his head: "The old man once asked the dragon clan, and they said that if they want to cure the natural source power, they must let this power be released, and the same is true in the Nine Shades, but the outbreak of the Nine Shades may be more violent, and it is in the sea."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Senior Fang Cai mentioned that he would take advantage of this relationship between me and Wu Chan, could it be that he already has some plans?"

"Not bad." Ji Fa said slowly, "The old man's original plan was for you or your descendants to gradually take over the Western Regions, and gradually move the countries of the Western Regions to the periphery, away from the grinding plate of sand."

"As for the Elite, the old man wants their entire clan to migrate to Huaxia, not only to ensure their safety, but also to use their power to build the royal tomb and the Great Wall."

"That's why the old man said that with this relationship between you and Queen Wuchan, things may be a little easier."

I see.

No wonder Ji Fa was in a hurry to send Yingzheng to the Western Regions, and borrowing the secret stone was just a small excuse.

Although the Western Regions is not the land of China, after all, it is related to the safety of the people there, not to mention, it is their natural inheritance that directly causes this situation.

Although everyone understands the principle of taking into account the overall situation, it is really unfair to the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "It's okay on our side, it's just exquisite, and even the people of the Western Regions, I don't know what they think, presumably they won't be obedient."

"Therefore the best things need to be decided immediately, and the other nations must be decided slowly." Ji Fa said, "As for the method, it's up to you to master it yourself."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Thumb discussed this matter with me on the way back, but I don't know what he thinks at the moment."

"Hehe, it's not hard to know what he thinks." Ji Fa smiled and said, "He's right outside the door."

Ying Zheng: "......"

After doing it for a long time, Ji Fa and Thumb came together.

Ji sent out the tent door, and in a short time she brought her thumb into the tent.

"Thumb-senpai." Ying Zheng arched his hand in greeting.

"Hehe, King Qin, Senior Ji has already expressed his position, but he is very much in favor of your marriage to Wu Chan." Thumb said happily.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Daqin's side, naturally, will not object, but I don't know what the Jingjue side is planning."

"Hahaha...... Thumb said with a laugh, "Actually, before I came, I discussed with the elders, and the Elite agreed to marry Wuchan to the King of Qin, but there was one condition."

"What conditions?" Ying Zheng frowned and asked eagerly.

"That is, all the mother's family moved to Daqin." Thumb said, "King Qin, you have to make a room, and you have to take care of food and shelter."

"Hahaha......" wins

Zheng grinned happily, "Of course that's fine."

Indeed, on this condition, even if Yingzheng does not marry Wuchan, he will agree to the thumb.

"Then as a dowry ......" Thumb stepped forward and took Sinan in Yingzheng's hand, "This Sinan, I can accept it on my behalf."

Ying Zheng: "......"
