三月十日,天阴不雨.

Early in the morning, Li Zisheng was "escorted" by his father to his adopted mother Tie Qianjiao's residence and came to apologize! However, before her anger was relieved, the father and son were turned away.

Then the boy went to his newspaper office under the personal protection of the two friends. His father was no longer assured to let his son wander around the city alone, so he did not talk much about Li Zisheng, but sent two personal "bodyguards" to him.

The boy went to his own newspaper today not to care about the recent release of Pioneer Newspaper. He has not been interested in writing these days. Fortunately, some of the manuscripts have been supported and they have not stopped updating. Instead, he went to the Minister of Distribution. His most capable subordinate, Ye Ganzi, asked him to do something for himself secretly.

“杆子兄弟,你明白了吗?”

"Yes, President. I will take a boat to Lishan Village later, and then go to find your clan brother and hand him this letter. Well, it's going to be quietly!"

Li Zisheng nodded and continued to instruct: "Don't come back first, stay at Zixu's house for a few days, and see if there is anything to help him."

"Well, President, don't worry, I must listen to your clan's arrangements." Ye Ganzi said firmly.

The boy patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Pole, I believe in you. The journey is smooth!"

Ye Ganzi is not a stupid person either. He saw that the "president" who was a few years younger than him seemed to have a very risky plan, so he hinted with a rare moment: "Then I'm leaving now, President, you... you must take care of yourself too!"

"Of course, I... try my best." Li Zisheng said vaguely.

As the date of the Treasure Conference approaches, there are more and more cultivators with swords and high crowns and wide sleeves in Tieshan City.

After leaving the newspaper in Dongcheng, Li Zisheng met such people along the way. He is now going to the mansion of his classmate Hu Yunhong to visit his father, the first person in the Tie family's foreign weapon refining, Hu Kaishan.

“爹,你一直说要见的黎师兄来了!”

“小侄黎子升拜见伯父大人.”

Hu Kaishan and Hu Yunhong were a father and son poured out of the same mold. He was only fifty years old, and his hair and beard had some white frost and wrinkles on his forehead, but his body was still strong.

Although he is not tall, he is like an anvil. Especially with the sleeves rolled up, his right forearm with bare exposed is particularly thick, and he is obviously a thirsty person.

He was fiddling with these iron pieces in the yard. When he saw the boy coming forward to salute, he stood up politely, tidied up his clothes and went forward to help Li Zisheng up.

Hu Kaishan was really straightforward and asked, "So you are Li Zisheng. Did you really design this bicycle?"

Li Zisheng nodded and replied honestly: "Yes, Uncle Hu. It was my nephew who came up with it."

Uncle Hu said happily: "Excellent ideas, genius! Why are you interested in being my apprentice?"

"Dad, he is the young master of Xinyi Shuntang, how could he learn to refine weapons from you?" Hu Yunhong was a little embarrassed to mention his father.

He didn't see the visitor, glared at his eyes, blew his beard, and said, "What's wrong with refining weapons? Isn't it because you can go to Tieshan College to go to school by your kids and by magic weapons?"

The young man hurriedly turned the situation to the father and son and said, "Uncle, my nephew, thought of a few things again, and wanted to ask you for advice."

This sentence indeed attracted Hu Kaishan's attention: "Oh, what is it? Is there any pattern?"

The boy took pictures of the pattern in his arms and said, "Everyone is here, and he is about to ask his uncle for advice."

"Come on, let's go to the hall to talk!"

Hu Kaishan held the boy's hand tightly and quickly walked into the living room.

He forgot to even give orders to tea, and said in a hurry: "Nephew, what's the thing this time?"

Why Hu Kaishan is so anxious is also inseparable from his personality and experience.

He was originally a descendant of the Tie family servants. Because some of his talents have been able to understand the innate little Zhoutian by himself, he has the opportunity to enter Tieshan Academy. Of course, because his family is not of a high origin, he joined the head of the herringbone class.

In the academy, his talent for refining weapons was fully demonstrated and he was trained by the Tie family. Since then, his life path has been quite smooth. Not only did he go to the Heavenly Artifact Sect to further his studies, but he also obtained the cultivation resources to break through the innate world.

But the Tie family did not train him to do good deeds, but he demanded rewards. He was inevitably eager for quick success and instant benefits, which delayed his cultivation...

This kind of thing is not incomprehensible. No matter what world, there is no reason why others can make their contributions in vain.

At least Hu Kaishan himself had no complaints. After all, he trained him from a servant's son to a congenital real person. Moreover, he is not a bad person in his family. This Hu iron shop can be said to be a property for him.

His two sons also entered the Tianzi Class of Tieshan Academy. The eldest son Hu Yunduo has now entered the Tianqi Sect to further his studies.

Besides, qi refining is not so easy to break through. Master Hu also knew that even the generation of his master's family, Tie Wanshan and the other two brothers in the Heavenly Vessel Sect achieved qi refining. One of the Thousand Characters generations just broke through qi refining, that is, the eldest son of the Tie family, Tie Qianyi.

But if you fail to achieve Qi refining, it means that Hu Kaishan has come to an end on the road of refining weapons. For him, this is even more worrying than if you fail to achieve Qi refining immortals.

Just when Hu Qijiang felt that he had no way out, the bicycle that Li Zisheng "invented" made him lit up.

As mentioned in the previous document, this bicycle is just a toy for the Xianxia world, but the concept of combining machinery with machinery into machines made Hu Kaishan suddenly enlightened.

It turns out that this "utensil" can still be "refined" like this!

He is also an expert in this art. As soon as he enters this door, he suddenly realizes that there are endless wonders. The iron parts he fiddled with in the yard just now were the machine he thought of.

Li Zisheng smiled and said, "Uncle, this time it's not one piece, but several pieces."

"Oh, take it out and let me see!"

The boy respectfully handed a stack of drawings to Hu Kaishan's hands.

Uncle Hu, opposite, immediately started to read, and Hu Yunhong also stood behind his father and looked at the drawings on tiptoe.

Hu Kaishan first looked through it, then picked up the top drawings and instructions and asked: "Nephew, are these utensils for underwater use?"

Li Zisheng nodded and said, "Uncle Mingjian, this is a submersible specially designed by my nephew to collect iron ore at the bottom of the Flying Star Lake."

Hu Kaishan nodded with great relief and said, "It's rare that you have this kind of heart. Now there are more and more iron shops in the city, but this black iron is becoming increasingly scarce. If the instrument designed by the nephew is useful, it will really solve the urgent needs of our iron industry."

"Oh? Uncle Hu, the price of the black iron ore has also risen recently? The life of those iron fishermen should be a little looser." The boy asked a little puzzled.

Hu Kaishan was also from the bottom class and said with a little emotion: "Yes, the price has risen. However, it cannot fall into the bags of those poor people."

After hearing this, Li Zisheng's mind twitched a little and understood the truth.

There is no shortage of people who want to get something for nothing, and those iron fishermen who have no backing to rely on are their best targets for exploitation.

The core members of the Tie family naturally look down on this idea of ​​"fly profit", but there are always greedy people who are not satisfied with their own efforts or who don't even let go of small money.

In addition, Tiexing, which came to acquire Xuantie Yuan ore, was either related to the Tie family or a wealthy businessman with a deep background.

When these two moves are colluded, the "scrap" that falls into the hands of iron fishermen is only enough for them to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, if they have no savings, they will have no power to resist this "food shortage" and can only adopt armed riots to win the glimmer of hope.

If Li Zisheng, who had come to Tieshan City, could not understand the various things, but the boy's various experiences in the past few months greatly broadened his horizons, and at the same time it also triggered his thinking about things around him. In addition, the information collected by the young reporters for him made him deeply agree with Uncle Hu's words.

Li Zisheng's heart moved. It seemed that it was not enough to invent good things, and he still had to...

"Senior Brother Li, this diving bell is simple and clear, but is it really useful?"

It was not Hu Kaishan who asked about this, but his son, Li Zisheng's classmate Hu Yunhong, whose question interrupted the young man's thinking.

Li Zisheng restrained his thoughts and then replied: "Old... Junior Brother Hu, this is a diving equipment made using the principle of air pressure. We can prove it by doing a simple experiment."

Hu Kaishan waved his hand and said, "Children go play! Go to the kitchen to get a cup, yes, glass, and then turn it upside down and press it into the water to know the principle of this diving bell."

The master completely forgot that the person who invented this thing was actually just a child.

He didn't care whether his son turned his head and left the living room to do an "experiment", but said enthusiastically: "Nephew, your submarine has a hard diving suit, which is really... good! Did you borrow the water avoidance technique?"

The boy had no choice but to smile and nodded as an admission.

Of course, some of the immortal masters in Zhongzhou of Chi County have the means to dive into the deep sea. Not to mention this mere Star Lake, which is less than a hundred feet long, even a few thousand feet long, there is a way to come and go freely.

The biggest way is this water-avoiding technique, which is actually the release of the qi and forms a qi mask outside the body of the immortal master. In fact, it can be done by innate real people, but it just won’t last long.

Hu Kaishan picked up his thumbs to show his approval. He said, "You are so impressed by this, so you can learn from me."

Then he took out a few more drawings and asked, "Nephew, I understand the principle of your thing, but why do you need to carve threads in this tube?"

"Oh, uncle, this is because..."
