"Kong Ming, pay more attention to rest after you go back. Don't do everything by yourself. If you are exhausted, your master will be jealous."
explain,
Zhuge Liang, who walked to the door of the camp, smiled and said, "Thank you Shiyuan for reminding me, I will also give you a piece of advice. Your master is not easy to get along with. Be careful if you are overly ambitious."
After that, Zhuge Liang left without looking back. Pang Tong looked at the food Zhuge Liang had eaten and couldn't help but murmured, "Learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family, we are both the same, Kong Ming."
At the beginning, Zhuge Liang had the intention of being a mastermind, so he followed Liu Bei wholeheartedly. He himself was not the same, so he also followed Liu Cong wholeheartedly.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, but Pang Tong firmly believes that Liu Cong will not massacre the heroes. This is his trust in Liu Cong.
Even if that day does come, Pang Tong will accept it calmly. If you want me to die, I have to die!
When that day comes, it means that he, Pang Shiyuan, has assisted Liu Cong to win the world. The man has left his name in history and has lived up to his life.
If Liu Cong really wants his life, Pang Tong will accept everything calmly.
"Pass my order to retreat to Fancheng!"
"promise!"
If Liu Cong wants to send troops to Nanzhong again, he must wait for Quan Cong and Zhang Zheng to come back before letting them lead the troops again. Therefore, the military deterrence against Shu cannot be relaxed yet.

However, 2150,000 troops have been stationed in Shangyong for a long time, and the cost is a bit high. It is just right to go to Fancheng, across the Han River is Xiangyang, the logistics is greatly shortened, and it is easy to advance troops again.
"Bang!"
At the scientific research institute outside Xiangyang City, two walls were blown down on the spot after a loud bang.
"Go and report to the king, we succeeded! We succeeded!"
Ma Jun and Guan Qiuxing were so excited that they screamed at each other.
Liu Cong didn't know how to make these, but he had played with guns before and knew what materials should be used for gunpowder, but he just didn't know how to mix them.
Now, the Research Institute has finally succeeded in formulating this ratio.
"Report! Secret documents from the King's Scientific Research Institute!"
Liu Cong was in court, and when he heard that it was a secret document from the Scientific Research Institute, he immediately opened it and browsed in detail, "Quit the court! Whatever happens, put it all until tomorrow!"
"Xing Daorong! Duan Kun!"
Say app——-p
"I'm here."
"Prepare the car immediately, I am going to do scientific research outside the city!"
"promise."
The civil and military officials in the court were puzzled, but no one dared to ask. They were used to things from the scientific research institute. This time Liu Cong paid so much attention to it, it must be something extraordinary.
This time, Liu Cong was not even prepared to bring the chief officer of the 6th Department with him. Gunpowder was too important. This was an invention that subverted the times. This was an invention that changed the form of warfare!
"Drive! Drive!"
Liu Cong was impatient. In order to rush to the scientific research institute as soon as possible, he didn't even wait for Xing Daorong and others to prepare the car and rode out the black cloud horse that had been tamed recently.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! If the king makes even the slightest mistake, your heads will fall off!" Xing Daorong yelled while holding his helmet.
Wu Yunju was indeed the king of horses. He was so fast that they couldn't even see the shadow of Liu Cong's butt.
Duan Kun was also worried, "Damn it, what the hell did the Research Institute come up with? Your Majesty even rode the Black Cloud Horse!"

When Liu Cong arrived, there were still no officials to greet him at the entrance of the scientific research institute. Ma Jun and others were probably still studying gunpowder inside.
"A powerhouse for scientific research! Stop coming!"
Liu Cong was so dressed up that the guards guarding him didn't even recognize him.
"Hush!"
"Herod!"
"It's Gu!"
The troops stationed here were arranged by Liu Cong himself, so the leading captain naturally knew Liu Cong.
"Your Majesty? I will finally pay my respects to your Majesty!"
"Why did the king come out alone? This is too dangerous."
"Get up." Liu Cong dismounted and handed the reins to the soldiers who came forward. "The horse is so fast that Duan Kun and Xing Daorong cannot catch up behind them."

"Where are Ma Jun and Guanqiu Xing?"
The captain came up to Liu Cong and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the general only heard a loud noise, and then Master Ma ordered martial law. Until now, except for those who went to the palace to deliver messages, no one else has been seen. I'm afraid Master Ma and Master Guanqiu are still inside."
At this time, it was difficult for Liu Cong to keep from laughing, "Hurry up and let Gu go in and take a look."
"Open the door!"
When Liu Cong arrived inside, he was surrounded by heavily guarded soldiers. Ma Jun, Guan Qiuxing and other craftsmen gathered around a pile of rubble, muttering something unknown, and no one even paid attention to Liu Cong's arrival.
Liu Cong smiled bitterly. He could now understand what later generations would call the concentration of scientific researchers.
When the captain next to him saw this, he quickly ran over to talk to Ma Jun and others. Only then did everyone notice that Liu Cong had arrived.
"I will pay my respects to the king."
"Pingshen, Pingshen." Liu Cong laughed and said, "Ma Jun, Guanqiu Xing, you two, and all of you, are the great heroes of Guhe and the entire Chu State."
With that said, Liu Cong stepped forward and personally helped the two of them up, "How are you now? Have you adjusted the ratio?"
app,&~p.
Ma Jun said with some excitement, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed that the current gunpowder is not stable yet, and the ratio of various materials needs to be more accurately prepared."
"But Chen and others have already made it. All that's left is to slowly experiment with the preparation. I believe it won't take long before we can prepare a stable explosive."
Guanqiu Xing followed, "Put these things together into a bamboo tube, and it will be almost the same as the grenade the king mentioned."
Liu Cong grinned, stepped forward and looked at the gravel on the ground, "Why have you made such rapid progress? Didn't you tell me before that you didn't have a clue?"
Ma Jun smiled bitterly and said, "The powder of charcoal and sulfur is easy to say, but we don't know how to deal with the saltpeter. Before, the scientific research institute had a meal of brine tofu one day, and Brother Guanqiu suddenly thought of it. It can be slowed down with hot water. Pour it on slowly and then let it dry."
"This process is similar to making salt. After many attempts, we finally got usable saltpeter."
Saltpeter, after being refined, has another name - potassium sulfate. This step is also commonly known as boiling saltpeter.
"Then there is what the king said about the fuse. Spray water on the paper to make it slightly moist, roll in the gunpowder, and then dry it to make a perfect fuse."
"Haha, hahaha..." Liu Cong couldn't bear it anymore, stopped and looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Okay, okay, great, Gu is not afraid of the Northern Cavalry now. Ma Jun, Guan Qiuxing, do you have any backups in the Research Institute? Let Gu Fang take a look!"

"this?"
"What? No more?"
"That's not true. When this thing is released, it will sound like thunder and be as powerful as the wrath of heaven. I am worried that the king will be frightened." This is a man who is engaged in science. He speaks directly and does not understand a single bit of human sophistication.
If it had been anyone else, who would have dared to say that to Liu Cong?
Liu Cong chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm very brave. Go and send someone to prepare."
"promise."
Just kidding, what I have seen before is much better than this. What is this?
