Xu Xiaoteng turned his head and said, "Isn't it domineering enough?"

Meng Shilan opened her mouth and came: "Indeed!"

Xu Xiaoteng sighed matter-of-factly: "It seems that it is impossible to do it rather than indiscriminately, if it comes, it will be safe, the holy purpose is in hand, I have it in the world!"

Luo He suddenly stood in front of Xu Xiaoteng: "Shh, Lord Director, don't talk nonsense, be careful of losing your head." ”

Xu Xiaoteng laughed: "Have you forgotten? I am not under the control of your country, my husband and wife, I go the same everywhere." ”

Luo He brushed the dust silk and said dementedly: "Oh, that's right. ”

Xu Xiaoteng waved his hand: "Let's go!" while walking, I will introduce to me the origin of the three words of your Burning Stone Country, I feel very strange, hahaha!"

Meng Shilan stepped up with her hand: "What's strange, isn't it just that there are more stones!

Luo He smiled: "Mrs. Director said yes, it is true. ”

Meng Shilan hesitated for a moment, and finally slapped Luo He on the shoulder: "Don't call me Mrs. Director, okay, Mrs. is Mrs."

Luo He nodded yes.

It is said that the origin of the name of this Lieshi country is because the founding emperor took a detour after winning the battle, because he was all defeated and was afraid of "disturbing" the people.

When passing through a large mountain, the soldiers could not lift their weapons, and their movements were extremely difficult, so they had to throw off their armor to move forward normally.

When the emperor had a whim, he built the capital here and sat on the magnetic mountain here.

In a short period of time, the place was also renamed from Lieshi Mountain to Lieshi Country.

Under the emperor's search, he found some places similar to this kind of mountain, and then they were all heavily guarded.

The strange thing is that after the discovery of the Magnet Mountain, it was only a victory, and the Burning Stone Kingdom no longer expanded, but lived quietly in the world, and has been standing until now.

After Xu Xiaoteng and the others finished observing these points, more than half a month had passed, and the two of them found that the magnets in these places had already been almost mined.

In this regard, the two of them did not have any ideas, and they did not want to meddle in other people's internal affairs.

So he began to look for ordinary materials, and took this group of people who seemed to Xu Xiaoteng to be a rabble to settle in Cangmanshan Mountain.

Cangmang Mountain is located in the rear of the Lieshi Country, and beyond the layers of mountains, it is the prairie.

The name of the country on the prairie is also very arbitrary, and it is called the prairie country.

This steppe country is a necessary place for the trade and export of the Lieshi country, but the road is not in this mountain, but needs to be detoured.

This is one of the reasons why Xu Xiaoteng wants to establish a secret research institute here.

The bigger reason is because these mountains are treasure mountains, and there are too many rare ores in them.

As far as the couple's current observations are concerned, there is enough ore here to allow them to establish themselves in the Burning Stone Country.

In this regard, the emperor didn't care, Xu Xiaoteng asked for it from beginning to end, and Luohe, Meng Xuan and Cao Yue did it.

For the manpower, it has always been like this, and it is getting fewer and fewer, and as for those who took leave halfway, they have never returned to the team at all.

Fortunately, in terms of financial resources, it has not been cut.

Two months later, the place was already taking shape, and the two of them had to do so much preparation that it never seemed to be progressing.

Half of the soldiers who came with them had already run away, and many of them who knew some knowledge of ore had left, and none of the people left behind.

Xu Xiaoteng didn't have much complaints about these, anyway, even if there were only himself and Meng Shilan, there was nothing difficult about these jobs, but it was estimated that it would take a little longer.

As long as there is food to eat and clothes to wear.

The busiest is naturally Meng Xuan, because of the lack of manpower, he has become a small researcher at this moment, and he follows Xu Xiaoteng every day to ask questions.

Xu Xiaoteng also suddenly felt that this guy was not so annoying, probably because he was too idle before.

As for Cao Yue, he doesn't take care of things much anymore, except for letting the soldiers help with the coolies, most of the time he eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, and taunts Meng Xuan day by day.

Luohe is more comfortable, and now he doesn't even run errands, and he looks at a bunch of people busy every day.

After another two months, the entire institute officially began to work.

From parts to large machines, the casting is completed.

Luohe continued to be idle, stupid for a day, but Cao Yue couldn't sit still.

As for Meng Xuan, he was even busier.

At this time, everyone just felt that it was novel, and there was no substantive feeling, but later, everyone felt that something was wrong.

Xu Xiaoteng and Meng Shilan have been discussing a problem when they are idle: technology and cultivating immortals.

Xu Xiaoteng thinks that such a big fanfare, is it a bit too much, go directly to cultivate immortals, maybe the time to become strong can be greatly shortened, and the consequences of this are likely to cause some unnecessary backlash.

Meng Shilan is more careful, thinking that this is to give herself a certain amount of protection.

I came to this world and worked so hard for so long, but I didn't even know how to cultivate immortals, and even the people of the Burning Stone Kingdom felt that people who cultivated immortals were very, very powerful people.

In other words, a marginal country like the Burning Stone Country is extremely worshipful of cultivating immortals, and they all think that it is a god in the sky and has never seen it.

There was a precedent before that the emperor's son went to learn the arts, but it was rejected.

The reason is: even if it is a prince, he does not cultivate immortals if he wants to, and as for civilians, let alone think about it.

The son of this emperor, the emperor at this moment, was only three years old when he went, and he was already in his fifties when he returned.

Xu Xiaoteng and the others estimated the time to come and go, even if they were fast, this place where they could cultivate immortals, and the distance from this Burning Stone Country made the two of them smack.

Hearing that the place where immortal cultivation can be cultivated is a small Taoist temple, located on the edge of the Longzhong Continent, Xu Xiaoteng didn't dare to continue thinking about it, feeling that a continent is larger than the total area of an earth.

According to relevant historical records, the currently known range, conservatively estimated, is less than one-tenth of the entire Dragon Continent.

If my father hadn't been arrested now, he might have been able to know how big this human world really was.

The top priority now is very simple, that is, to make weapons, and for the manufacture of quantum-related materials, Xu Xiaoteng has asked Luohe to send someone to see it.

However, in Xu Xiaoteng and Meng Shilan's estimates, although this Burning Stone Country is rich in minerals, it may be more difficult to find those radioactive elements than to ascend to the sky!

So the current action is to provide the Burning Stone Country with some usable weapons, mainly guns.

After that, I will cast an airplane cannon or something, anyway, if I can stabilize this Burning Stone Country, I will stabilize it first.

Then the two of them took the opportunity to develop secret weapons, especially flying machines and the like.

As soon as the New Year passed, Xu Xiaoteng did not answer the call to enter the palace, but brought two things to the emperor as New Year's gifts.

It's a regular shield, but it's invulnerable;

The same is an automatic rifle and a small cannon.

And let Meng Xuan personally bring it and tell the emperor how to use it.

Meng Xuan: That's really happy!

Thank you to Xu Xiaoteng and Meng Shilan in every way, just call the ancestor, you know, Meng Xuan knows how powerful these things are.

When the time comes, put it in front of the emperor and demonstrate it again, and the emperor may be able to give Meng Xuan a big official.

This move made Cao Yue's eyes red, Xu Xiaoteng was helpless, he couldn't stand it, so he could only say lightly: "Don't be in that branch, Cao Yue listens to orders!"

Cao Yue knelt down very happily.

"Cao Yue, I order you to protect Meng Xuan, all the way to Beijing, and there must be no mistakes!"

Cao Yue was so happy when he heard this, he left with half of the people with Meng Xuan.

As for Luohe, it has always been like that, Xu Xiaoteng didn't know if this guy was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, so he didn't care.
