After all, Li Dayan is a halfway monk, his basic knowledge is not solid enough, and his progress in this regard is very slow, and he himself is extremely anxious, worried that he will pull Guo Dalu's hind legs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Ge Wenhua, as a cultivator for thousands of years, soon let Guo Dalu and Li Dayan, who were present, see the true power of immortal arts, only to see him put his hands together and recite the terminology silently, the huge steel ingot suddenly turned into molten steel, rolling in the air, Ge Wenhua waved his hand again, and several ores next to him, fine powder flew out and merged into the molten steel.

Boom, the molten steel turned into ingots again, and fell heavily on the ground, smashing the mud into stone and flying debris. Ge Wenhua proudly put his hand behind his back: "The alloy has been successfully smelted." ”

Li Dayan was dumbfounded, this is the end? Thinking that he was in the blast furnace workshop, tossing alloys with a group of craftsmen and students, paying attention to the furnace temperature, being careful about the content of carbon and a variety of trace elements, and controlling the amount of oxygen blowing, he was sweating profusely, and it took him half a day to barely harvest a few pieces of qualified products.

But Ge Wenhua made the alloy steel without much effort.

Li Dayan blurted out: "Quick, take some samples and test them in the laboratory." Immediately, several students stepped forward and hammered on the ingots.

The anger on Ge Wenhua's face was obvious and hidden, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Li Dayan's test, Guo Dalu hurriedly snorted: "This new product comes out, and the test is a pass that must be passed, not to believe in Ge Zhangmen, only after confirming the characteristics of the product, can good steel be used on the blade." ”

Ge Fanghua's face slowed down slightly, and after a while, soon a student rushed over waving the test sheet, he glanced at Ge Wenhua with admiration, handed the list to Guo Dalu, and said loudly: "Brother Guo, the indicators of this alloy steel are very perfect, and it is really the best product I have ever seen!"

Ge Wenhua's face turned pale, Guo Dalu hurriedly glanced at the test sheet, and spread his hands to Ge Wenhua: "Master Ge, please let it go!"

Over the next few days and nights, Ge Wenhua continued to work in the steel mill, producing and installing large parts one after another, and with his assistance, individual parts were stronger and more durable than the design standards. Half a decade later, all the hardware facilities in the steel plant had been installed, Ge Wenhua breathed a long sigh of relief, the spiritual energy he consumed was not much, not even as good as the spiritual power consumed by him in a big battle with his opponent, but many parts in the steel plant were extremely complex, requiring him to carefully control the spiritual power, which was on top of labor.

Guo Dalu accompanied Ge Wenhua throughout the whole process, and he was both surprised and happy in his heart, and the surprise was naturally that the cultivator did have two brushes, and he exerted his spiritual power so superbly, he really underestimated the cultivator before, and the joy was that with the help of the practitioner, the pace of implementing the four modernizations by himself could be further accelerated.

Ge Wenhua was not polite, nodded to Guo Dalu and said: "I will go to the East Lake Tianyi Pavilion to collect the books, and ask Master Guo to remember our agreement, and send the immortal medicine elixir to Tianyi Pavilion in time, in the near future, I must be concentrating on cultivation in the Tianyi Pavilion Collection." The East Lake is abundant, but it is a good place to practice. ”

After that, Ge Wenhua stomped his feet, a flame rose on the ground, the flames disappeared, and Ge Wenhua was no longer in place.

Guo Dalu frowned suddenly, when most of the hardware facilities of the steel plant were built, he sensed that a large amount of merit power had poured into his body, and even Li Dayan next to him had obtained considerable merit power, however, Ge Wenhua, who had made great contributions, could not sense the power of merit at all!

It's strange that Yu Qing has been able to obtain a lot of merit by promoting divine beans and other crops before, why can't Ge Wenhua get it? Guo Dalu thought about it a little, and he understood that this Ge Wenhua built a steel plant, but he made a deal with himself, and exchanged the secret book of the elixir for him to come to help, the so-called unintentional evil is not evil, and the intention is not good, Ge Wenhua's heart of trading is together, and there is a sense between heaven and earth, and the power of merit naturally does not fall on his head. In the end, it was for nothing that Guo Dalu and the children of craftsmen who participated in the construction of the steel plant were cheapened.

Guo Dalu shook his head gently, as the so-called pecking and drinking have a predestination, and the difference between a thought is a different path, although there are people in the cultivation world of the Great Li Dynasty who have abandoned spiritual power like Yu Qing and Fan Chongzi, there are still the vast majority of cultivators who cling to spiritual power and do not let go.

Guo Dalu said to Li Dayan and others: "The hardware facilities of the steel plant have been installed, and next, it is time to install such sophisticated control equipment. I just remind you that these equipment are not easy to come by, and we must be careful, otherwise, if we lose one or two pieces of critical equipment, the entire factory will have to shut down, and the loss will be great. Because of the size of the trash can, there are no spare parts for the critical materials that Bai Suzhen transmits, and as for the supplementary parts, it is even more far away.

Li Dayan and the others nodded again and again, and Li Dayan sighed: "This cultivator is very good, relying on our own technical strength in Houlong Village, this steel plant can also be built, but the scale is a little worse, and it will take two or three years to say the least, but now--hula, thousands of high-rise buildings--no, thousands of chimneys rise from the ground!"

Guo Dalu patted Li Dayan on the shoulder: "You don't have to be so frustrated, we should still face up to the power that cultivators have, after all, they have ruled this world for tens of thousands of years." However, in the future, these large-scale projects will have to be done by ourselves as much as possible! First, the cultivators are too greedy, they help us to build, and there are too many elixirs to ask for, and the output of the development zone is not enough to meet the requirements of the cultivators. This is not a long-term solution. Second, with the completion of the first batch of heavy industries, we have a considerable capacity for self-reliance, and although we are not building on our own as fast as the cultivators, this path is something we must take!"

At the same time, in various parts of the development zone, steel mills, fertilizer plants, oil refineries and other huge factories rose from the ground with the help of cultivators, a thriving scene, Guo Dalu even in Tianyi Pavilion with the help of a few cultivators who are proficient in earth spiritual power and water spiritual power, extracted oil along the coast, providing valuable raw materials for the petrochemical industry!

In Jinmen, early in the morning, the tea shop was full of men carrying cage birds, greeting each other loudly, shouting and urging Xiao Er to serve tea, snacks, and hot towels, Xiao Er held up a half-person-high tray, shuttled between tables and chairs, loudly announced the name of dim sum, carried a huge teapot, and made tea for everyone--

This is an ordinary day in Jinmen, but what is unusual is the view outside the window of the teahouse, which was originally built on the seaside, and you can see a large beach when you open the window, and the view is excellent, but now, a bunch of strange-shaped buildings suddenly appeared on the beach over there--

Several tea guests greeted each other: "Fourth master, are you here? What's the matter? You came to see the dock and factory of Science Gate so early in the morning? You are really idle enough, see the sky is shaking here." ”

The fourth master wiped the sweat on his forehead with a hot towel: "Eye-opening, eye-opening, this Mr. Long is really amazing, the steel mills, chemical plants, shipyards and other factories built here, stretching for more than ten miles, I only saw a small half of the horse, heh, the things in there are extremely weird, breathing fire and smoking, I can't understand it." ”

A few tea guests next to him laughed and said: "This immortal thing, you can understand that it is rare, I heard that in order to build these factories, Mr. Houlong invited Tianyi Pavilion and many other cultivation sects to help, and it was the first time we saw the immortal family casting spells, sipping, really amazing, really amazing." Not to mention anything else, just the railway that goes straight to the capital, and the foundation will be completed, and then the sleeper will be paved, and then the big iron bar with the thickness of the child's arm will be laid on the sleeper, and the railway will be completed!"

The fourth master slapped his thigh: "What is this railway? Have you never seen the immortals use a large number of steel ingots to make a locomotive! That guy is like a small mountain, the wheel is taller than me, and the stomach swallows coal, and as soon as the smoke rises, the locomotive will run, and a large number of wagons can be carried behind! I heard that in the future, it will only take a few hours to take the train from Jinmen to the capital. With the sale of clocks and watches, the people are familiar with the hours, minutes, and even seconds, and then apply them to life.

There was a well-informed person, shaking his head and saying: "Actually, this railway track and locomotive have appeared in Jiangnan as early as before, but this locomotive is not there, and the people in the Science Gate call it 'Little Locomotive', which can not only burn coal, but even firewood, but not much cargo pulled--"

The fourth master snorted: "What do you know, that little locomotive uses narrow gauge, our Beijing-Tianjin railway is a standard broad gauge, and the train on it runs fast and pulls a lot!" -- The fourth master is really interested in trains, and he has worked hard to know the difference between narrow gauge and broad gauge.

Sure enough, as soon as the fourth master said this, the tea guests around him nodded again and again: "It turns out that this railway is still wide and narrow, and the fourth master has been taught." ”

Suddenly, a little old man said: "This train track is laid on the land of the ancestors, running around, the roar is earth-shattering, will it alarm the ancestors underground?

This alarmed the ancestors and disturbed the dragon vein, but it was a very serious accusation, but including the fourth master, a group of tea guests did not care, the fourth master took a sip of tea, and said disapprerovingly: "What do you know? The laying of this railway has been calculated by the great immortals of Tianyi Pavilion, not only will it not alarm the ancestors of the dragon vein, but it will also help the national fortune of my Great Li Dynasty." I heard that the train carries its own power of merit, and the people along the way are either rich or expensive! As far as I know, there are already people who specialize in buying land along the train line at a high price, just to get the power of merit of the train!"

In the original time and space of Guo Dalu, when the railway was first introduced into the Qing Dynasty, strange theories such as alarming the ancestors of the dragon vein were popular, and even the railway was paved and demolished again, which became a representative event of feudal backward forces obstructing scientific and technological progress. However, this is not a problem at all in the Great Li Dynasty, Fan Chongzi casually said that the railway train can bless the ancestors of the dragon vein, whether it is the powerful or the common people, they are happy to make way for the railway paving, just hoping that their own family can have a "spiritual land" next to the "iron dragon" in the future.

As for living by the railway, you can be rich, but when Guo Dalu's words "If you want to get rich, build the road first" spread, it was distorted. But this is a good thing, at least, the large-scale construction where Guo Dalu is located, there is no public will oppose it at all.

The little old man was ignored no longer, and the tea guests were discussing enthusiastically whether they should also pay for some land next to the railway, and also touch the power of merit.

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs on the street, but it was several officials on the street who announced that at 10 o'clock today, a railway stock issuance ceremony would be held in the yamen, and the old folks went to watch the ceremony.

A tea guest asked: "Fourth master, you are well-informed, what kind of railway stock is this?"

The fourth master said proudly: "This matter, you really asked me the right person, I have a nephew who works in a snow sugar shop, and he told me about the railway stock early in the morning." This stock is a good thing to have a big hair!"

The tea guests around are very clever, as soon as they heard the word "hair growth", their eyes suddenly flashed, and someone immediately asked Xiao Er to give the fourth master good tea, good snacks, and the account of the fourth master today was invited by everyone.

The fourth master drank the alpine cloud tea, listened to the compliments of everyone, and was satisfied, so he said: "Mr. Houlong wants to lay a number of railways in the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, among which there are official and private enterprises, and the official camp is naturally paid by the imperial court, and the private sector is all for the private one--that financing, yes, it is called financing." Mr. Houlong said that the crowd collects firewood and the flame is high, the railway has a large investment, the construction period is long, and the funds required are massive, and if the participation of the private sector can be introduced, it would be great, so this stock issuance was carried out. ”

Tea guests, look at me, I look at you, someone said strangely: "I think the fairy family lays the railway, it is very easy, every mountain to open the road, when the water is built, it is a spell, a spell can be solved." ”

The fourth master said impatiently: "You don't want to be an immortal family's spiritual power for nothing? It's okay to build one or two railways, but Mr. Houlong wants to lay tens of thousands of kilometers of railways in the Great Li Dynasty! Some railways that are extremely difficult to lay can invite the cultivation sect to spend spiritual power to help, but the railways in other sections need to be built by us mortals. ”

All the tea guests nodded one after another, indeed, it took thousands of years for the cultivators to cultivate the extremely rare aura, naturally it is impossible to waste it easily, and more well-informed people learned that Mr. Houlong had paid a lot of elixirs and various magic weapons in order to ask those cultivators for help, and I heard that the warehouses of the Science Gate in Houlong Village were empty.

A tea merchant dressed as a businessman asked, "Fourth Master, do you think this railway stock is worth buying?"

The fourth master half-closed his eyes and said: "It's worth buying, I can't say, but if you think about it, once this railway is passed, all parts of the line will live, how many passengers and how many goods will come and go from the south to the north?

In fact, Jinmen itself is a transportation point, and countless goods are transported from the south to the capital through Jinmen through sea ships, which has created the prosperity of Jinmen.

However, there is also a threshold for this transportation, such as the canal has a green gang, the sea ship is also controlled by large and small gangs, and even the donkey and horse cart shop is also a head and a face, and there are people in the government who have a doorway to get through, otherwise, just to get the cards on the checkpoints everywhere, it will make it difficult for you to move an inch.

But trains are different. That is Mr. Houlong's industry! Who dares to set up a card on the railroad without opening his eyes? That mountain-like locomotive crashes into it and crashes into the sky with a bang! In this way, merchants from all over the world will transport goods by railway, which is fast and convenient, and there is no need to sleep in the open as before, and they are afraid of it!

Get rich! This railroad and this train can really make a fortune! If you buy that stock, it can be passed on to your descendants!

At that moment, a tea guest had already quietly gotten up, returned home and discussed with the lady in charge to see if he could take out the money and buy what kind of stocks.

The actions of the tea guests, the fourth master fell silently in his eyes, he has been wandering around in the past few days, in various teahouses, brothels, and everywhere to promote the benefits of railway stocks, naturally he has his own abacus, because he already has the "original shares" in his hands, which are bought at a very low price, and it is the benefit of Li Bo, the most trusted disciple of Mr. Long, the door of science, to his subordinates, as long as the stock is publicly issued, the stock price will be speculated, hey, then he will make a fortune in vain!

On the morning of the same day, at the gate of the Tianjin Prefecture Yamen, a large group of people flocked to the city, not to mention 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Tianjin Mansion Daotai was so nervous that sweat flowed out, so many people were huddled together, if there was any stampede, then the top on their heads would not be able to be saved.

At this moment, a voice said coldly: "Confused! Issuing stocks, naturally the more people come, the better, they are all our potential customer groups, you drive them away with a board, then who will sell the railway stocks?"

With this shouting and reprimand, a group of people swaggered straight in from the main entrance, the leader was not someone else, it was Li Bo Li Da shopkeeper, although he was only a teenager, but he controlled a large number of material transactions in the Science Gate, and was called "Li Caishen" by the people.
