Chen Yuan immediately said: "Mr. Junfang, do you think that if we bombard that thing with the gunpowder produced during the alchemy process, can we kill it?"
Xu Fu didn't expect that Chen Yuan would have such an idea, and was stunned at first.
Immediately he shook his head: "Although gunpowder is extremely powerful, I'm afraid it won't be able to hurt it."
"Isn't it powerful enough?"
Xu Fu nodded: "Yes, the gunpowder can't even hurt me, let alone hurt it."
Regarding the explosion that occurred during alchemy, Xu Fu was the one who had the most say.
He had experienced it frequently. Although its power was extraordinary, it could not do anything to Xu Fu.
Chen Yuan understood that when the explosion occurred during the alchemy process, not only was the amount of gunpowder insufficient, but the ratio was also inaccurate, so the power was naturally limited.
However, the power of the specially developed one is definitely not small.
Chen Yuan didn't worry about this anymore. Let's build it first and then talk about it. Besides, even if it can't hurt the thing, it has many uses in other places.
Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei: "Brother, that's it. I'll find someone to produce the gunpowder first. We'll know how powerful it is when we try it."
Liu Bei nodded. Compared to Xu Fu, Liu Bei naturally believed in Chen Yuan.
Xu Fu didn't have any objections. Anyway, there was no other way now. Since Chen Yuan wanted to experiment, let him do it.
There is another problem that needs to be solved, and that is Xu Fu's identity.
Xu Fu definitely cannot appear as Xu Fu. If he appears as Xu Fu, it will definitely cause an uproar in the world.
When the time comes, the emperor will definitely take Xu Fu to Luoyang.
The reason is very simple, that is to ask about the art of immortality.
The person in the world who desires immortality the most is the Emperor.
The emperor has already sat in the supreme position, and the next step is to sit in this position forever.
Throughout the ages, there has been an emperor who did not want to live forever.
Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, who didn't spend countless efforts and energy to seek the road to immortality.
Now if the emperor knew that Xu Fu had appeared, it goes without saying that he would definitely summon Xu Fu into the palace.
Therefore, it is necessary to arrange an identity for Xu Fu.
It is not difficult for Liu Bei to assign a new identity to Xu Fu. The key is whether Xu Fu is willing or not.
Chen Yuan said to Xu Fu: "Mr. Junfang, I'm afraid I need to wrong you a little. Now you can't show yourself as Xu Fu and you need to cover it up. What do you think?"
Xu Fu has lived for so many years. For him now, everything has become indifferent. Flying immortals and being born are his only obsessions.
Therefore, Xu Fu had nothing to be unwilling to do.
Xu Fu said calmly: "It's up to you, I don't have any objections."
Since Xu Fu had no objection, Chen Yuan immediately arranged a new identity for Xu Fu.
Mainly it's a matter of name.
Chen Yuan thought for a while and felt that there was a name that definitely suited Xu Fu.
Chen Yuan said to Xu Fu: "Mr. Junfang, what do you think of the name Xu Xian?"
Xu Fu heard the words and silently recited twice, Xu Xian, Xu Xian.
I have to say, this guy really has a sweet heart.
Didn’t I just promise to be an immortal in this life?
He has been searching for the way to immortality and ascension all his life.
Xu Fu nodded: "This name is very appropriate. I have no objection."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Fu agreed.
I'm afraid Xu Fu will never know what this name actually represents.
I wonder if some snake demon will come to Xu Fu after he changes his name.
Huh?
Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something.
"Mr. Kimifang, what does that thing you see look like?"
Xu Fu was stunned, not thinking why Chen Yuan would suddenly ask this question.
However, Xu Fu thought for a while and replied: "That thing is all white, like a coiled python."
Oh, it's really a big white snake.
But this is just Chen Yuan's random thinking. How could these two be Xu Xian and White Snake.
This guy wants to eat Xu Xian's food.
Not only did the white lady not eat it, she also wanted to give birth to a child for Xu Xian.
It's not the same thing at all.
Of course, maybe there is something hidden between Xu Xian and White Snake, but this is not something Chen Yuan wants to care about.
The most important thing now is to kill this thing.
The reason is very simple, he blocked Chen Yuan's idea of powerful world.
It also blocks the path to transcendence for a first-level strong man, so it must die.
Xu Fu, oh, no, it should be Xu Xian.
From now on, there will be no Xu Fu, only Xu Xian.
Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei: "Brother, without further ado, I will go with Mr. Xu to develop the gunpowder, and I will have to worry about other things."
Liu Bei nodded: "Fourth brother, you and Mr. Xu can go and do your own business. I will take care of other matters."
Liu Bei is now a relatively qualified lord, and hearing these words makes people feel more secure.
As a master, one of the biggest characteristics that you must possess is that you must give your subordinates a sense of security.
The sense of security has existed since ancient times.
Once your subordinates feel insecure, they will soon leave you.
This is something necessary for collective stability.
Now Liu Bei can give his subordinates a great sense of security, so they like Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong are full of energy now.
Especially Gu Yong.
I really didn’t know that my senior brother had such a personality, that he looked a bit like Zhuge Liang.
Basically all the effort was spent on the government affairs of Jingzhou.
To say that Jingzhou can develop to its current strength, Chen Yuan certainly has a huge contribution, but Gu Yong's contribution can never be erased.
Because the actual executor is Gu Yong.
Now Jingzhou is almost like this, Chen Yuan makes suggestions, Liu Bei makes decisions, and Gu Yong implements them.
Chen Yuan is the planner, Liu Bei is the decision-maker, and Gu Yong is the executor.
Of course, the three are just representatives. In addition to Liu Bei, there are a group of people behind Chen Yuan, such as Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, etc.
Gu Yong represents more people. Basically, except Chen Yuan and Liu Bei, the rest can be regarded as executors.
"Brother, for the sake of convenience, would you like to arrange an official position for Mr. Xu so that we can allocate some resources?"
This is when Chen Yuan is going to arrange an official position for Xu Xian.
Originally, Qin Tian Jian was the best destination for Xu Xian, but Jingzhou now did not have the power to set up such an institution.
Qin Tian Jian, in the current imperial court, is for Jian Tian Tai.
Yes, it is Jiantiantai where Wang Yue is.
To be honest, Chen Yuan is very interested in appreciating Tiantai.
Because this world is different from the original time and space, Jiantiantai may not only be an institution for monitoring celestial phenomena and formulating calendars.
There must be something in it that you don't know.
Maybe Dingjian Tiantai knows a lot about things outside the sky.
If the time is right, Chen Yuan will definitely go to Jian Tiantai.
He felt that if he wanted to know the truth about this world, Jiantiantai might be a place he must go to.
Liu Bei thought for a while and decided to give Xu Xian a professional status.
This identity is the most suitable.
Xu Xian didn't have any objections either. Official positions were nothing to him.
Apart from increasing your luck a little, it has no other use.
Yes, official positions in the court can increase luck.
It's just that the fortune of the Han Dynasty is not good now, and a mere job can't bring much luck.
However, there is a little difference here in Jingzhou.
Because Xu Xian once observed Qi outside Xiangyang City.
He keenly discovered a phenomenon, that is, Jingzhou's luck had begun to turn into a dragon, and there were signs of being independent of the Dragon of Han's luck.
Of course, this sign is very secret, because the dragon transformed by Jingzhou's luck is still submissive to the extremely huge dragon of luck in Luoyang.
The basis for Xu Xian to confirm that this dragon is independent of the dragon of luck is that although the network of luck covering the entire Jingzhou still provides luck support to the dragon of luck, most of the luck is absorbed by the dragon.
Devoured himself.
And, not only that, Jingzhou's luck network began to spread along the waterways to the surrounding areas, engulfing other luck networks.
If there is a powerful person who can stand above the whole world and observe the luck of the Han Dynasty, he can discover many secrets.
For example, the huge dragon of luck in Luoyang that towered between heaven and earth, although it still shocked everyone, many parts of its body were damaged, and the luck began to scatter.
This means that the imperial court has gradually begun to be unable to gather the luck of the four parties.
Also in the wilderness, countless dragons began to appear.
Even in Luoyang, dragons appear.
In places such as Yizhou, Xiliang, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and even Huainan and Yangzhou, luck began to rise to varying degrees.
But these places are not as powerful as the luck dragon here in Jingzhou, and they are vaguely consistent with the white rabbit's luck in the world in Youzhou in the north.
The White Rabbit's Luck is where Liu Bei's ancestral tomb is located.
The so-called White Rabbit's Luck means that Liu Bei's ancestral grave is buried in White Rabbit Mountain.
And this White Rabbit Mountain has a dragon vein, which is the White Rabbit Dragon Vein.
In a book read by Chen Yuan in later generations, he once mentioned something. I don’t care whether this thing is true or not, but it illustrates something from the side.
For example, Liu Bei's family has the White Rabbit Dragon Vein, Cao Cao's has the Panlong Dragon Vein, and the Sun family has the Red Dragon Vein.
According to legend, the dragon vein of the Liu family was initiated by Liu Bei's ancestors, who buried their ancestors' bones in White Rabbit Mountain. It began to flourish in Liu Bei's generation.
However, as the name suggests, the White Rabbit Dragon Vein can become a dragon, but it requires wandering for half a life, and it takes until the second half of one's life to achieve success.
This may be the reason why Liu Bei was Liu Paopao for the first half of his life.
Cao Cao's ancestor was originally the Xiahou family. It is said that Xiahou Hai, Cao Cao's biological grandfather, once received enlightenment from a woodcutter and buried his grandfather in the "Pailing Dragon Veins". Xiahou Song, the son of Xia Houhai, met the great eunuch Cao Teng.
, adopted him as his adopted son, and changed his name to Cao Song. Cao Song was born in Cao, named Mengde, and his nickname was Ah Ma.
This dragon vein also flourished at the beginning of Cao Cao's life, so Cao Cao had the great achievements of Emperor Wu of Wei.
As for the Sun family, it is purely the virtue accumulated by their ancestors, because their ancestors are said to be Sun Wu. The tomb where Sun Wu was located was nothing at the time, but as time changed, it gradually turned into a dragon cave, inspiring the spirit of the red dragon.
This red dragon spirit flourished in Sun Jian's generation, and then Sun Ce and Sun Quan took over one after another, eventually forming a royal court.
Although things about dragon veins, dragon caves and dragon energy cannot be fully believed, they cannot be disbelieved either.
Especially this fantasy world.
Therefore, when Xu Xian told him about these situations, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have many thoughts in his heart.
Or else send people to dig up the ancestral tombs of Cao Cao and the Sun family?
If this is the case, will it be possible for these two companies to completely lose their great achievements like they did in history?
However, Chen Yuan quickly reacted.
Even if the ancestral graves of these two families were torn up, it would be of no use, because the world can no longer be saved by one surname and one family, nor can it be destroyed by one surname and one family.
Without Cao Sun, there might be Yuan Liu, Yuan Yang and the like.
Moreover, this kind of behavior is too low and bad, and it loses the dignity.
Chen Yuan immediately gave up this idea.
To unify the world, one can use any means, but one must have the aura of a king. Even if such despicable means were used to conquer the world, Chen Yuan did not want to see it.
Because we have learned from the past, how did the Sima family win the world?
There is a ruthless spirit in his bones. Even if he is the leader of the world, his actions are not upright enough and he often behaves in a ruthless way.
Therefore, the Jin Dynasty did not last for many years and caused great harm to the Han people.
You must know how miserable the situation of the Han people who stayed in the northern and central plains was after Yi Guan crossed to the south, and Sima Jie could not be blamed for it.
Therefore, Chen Yuanzai thought that if he had the opportunity, he must move the Sima family overseas. He must not let the family wander around China. The hidden dangers were too great.
The main reason is that Sima Yi, an old guy, is too tolerant.
He was obviously a young talent, but he just kept quiet until everyone who could deal with him was dead, and then he finally exerted his strength and took away the final fruits of victory in the world's strife.
The Sima family was able to conquer the world, and Sima Yi took the greatest credit.
Xu Xian actually didn't have any good intentions when he told Chen Yuan this.
If Chen Yuan has the intention to destroy the luck of the Dragon Vein, that would be the best.
Because anyone who presides over this matter will not end well.
The destiny of dragon veins is created by heaven, and wanton destruction will be punished by heaven.
Xu Xian still harbors some hatred for Chen Yuan.
Because Xu Xian still needs to be restrained by Chen Yuan.
If Chen Yuan doesn't have this idea, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's just a convenient thing. It's better to have it, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't.
However, seeing that Chen Yuan did not have this idea in the end, I still felt a little regretful.
Of course, you can't tell it on the surface.
Chen Yuan took Xu Xian to the craftsmanship department in Jingzhou.
Originally, Chen Yuan wanted to call the Ministry of Industry, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. After all, he hasn't conquered the world yet, so he might as well keep a low profile.
Just call it "Tsang Zuosi". At worst, we can change the name later.
The Craftsmanship Department belongs to the Prefecture Mufu, and theoretically it should be under the jurisdiction of Gu Yong.
But in fact, Chen Yuan is in charge of the Craftsmanship Division, because Chen Yuan often needs to mobilize people from the Craftsmanship Division to do some things for him.
The current person in charge of the craftsmanship department is Ma Jun.
This is the person Chen Yuan specially found.
Ma Jun has a stutter, but that doesn't stop him from becoming one of the most awesome people in the history of Chinese science and technology.
Especially when it comes to machinery, Ma Jun is simply a genius, even more so than Zhuge Liang.
Most of Zhuge Liang's inventions were used in military affairs, such as the wooden ox and the horse, the Zhuge Liannu and so on.
Most of Ma Jun's inventions were used in civil affairs, such as restoring the compass wheel, inventing the keel water wheel, manufacturing the water turning wheel, improving the silk weaving machine, etc.
This is simply the best candidate to recreate the Industrial Revolution.
