Fu Qin starts with a plan

"I can give you the gunpowder formula you want!"

Keleian and Liu Cheng were overjoyed when they heard Liang Ji's words.

Because in the Second Punic War, Carthage has recently suffered a series of defeats.

If there are no accidents, Carthage will be completely defeated by Rome in the next two years.

The war between the two countries lasted for hundreds of years.

In the process, the two sides have accumulated irresolvable hatred.

It is conceivable that the party that lost the war will have an absolutely miserable end.

Even the complete annihilation of the country is not impossible.

Daqin is tens of thousands of miles away from Europe.

Even if these people from the Academy of Sciences can really help Carthage turn defeat into victory.

Even distant water can't quench thirst.

Even if they were able to escape from Daqin with these people and return to Carthage, it would be at least half a year later.

By that time, no one can tell where the war will go.

But if Liang Ji is willing to donate something, such as gunpowder formula.

Crean can definitely send someone to send the formula back to Carthage first.

He has personally experienced the power of gunpowder.

Crean believes that as long as Carthage gets the formula, he can master this kind of power that does not seem to belong to the world.

Even if it can't turn the tables, at least it can reverse some of the situation.

At that time, I will bring these Qin people back to Carthage.
The more Clean thought about it, the more excited he became.

He could already imagine the glory of becoming the savior of Carthage and the key figure in Carthage's victory.

However, Klein is a smart person after all.

No matter how great the temptation was, he did not lose his mind.

"Vice President Liang, if you are willing to hand over the gunpowder formula, on behalf of the respected Lord Hannibal, I can agree to any of your requests."

Keleian took a deep breath, stared into Liang Ji's eyes and said.

"However." As he spoke, he changed the topic again: "How do you prove that the formula you provided is real?"

"Although the gunpowder formula is top secret, everyone here is the backbone of the Academy of Sciences. Whether it is true or not, I will tell you and someone will verify it." Liang Ji said with a blank expression.

At this time, the faces of the rest of the Academy of Sciences had become extremely ugly.

The remaining fifty or so people may not have the courage to die before.

But it doesn't mean they agree with Liang Ji's rebellion.

Liu Cheng and Keleian looked at each other, seeing that Kelein nodded, Liu Cheng took out a pen and paper and handed it to Liang Ji.

Under the incredulous eyes of all Qin people, Liang Ji did not hesitate at all, and wrote down the formula of gunpowder and the required materials on the paper.

The people around Liang Ji were the 20 people who were arrested with him.

These people are all from the Academy of Sciences in Xianyang and belong to the direct line of the Academy of Sciences.

Several of them are from the Academy of Science and Technology, so they naturally know the formula of gunpowder.

When these people saw the formula Liang Ji wrote on the paper, their faces changed drastically.

One of them, a thin man in his twenties, suddenly stood up.

"Liang Ji! Do you know what you are doing? Once the formula is exported to other countries, how many children of Daqin will die on the battlefield because of you in the future?"

Pointing at Liang Ji and cursing angrily, the man snatched the paper from Liang Ji's hand, quickly crumpled it into a ball, and swallowed it.

Liu Cheng didn't react at all to this person's actions.

Instead, with a sneer on his face, he looked at the other Qin people who were filled with righteous indignation.

Liang Ji looked expressionless, looked at the person who stole the formula, and said coldly: "It's useless, the formula is in my mind, so what if you snatch the paper?"

The thin man standing opposite him was already in tears.

Liang Ji knew this person.

His name is Du Shang, and he is only in his early 20s this year.

At the beginning, he was exiled because of his father's crimes, and the head of the village asked him to change his household registration and become a craftsman, just to make a living.

But he was lucky, and entered the military factory almost at the same time as Gongshu Qin.

From the perspective of those old craftsmen in the military factory, Du Shang's chicken-like body is not suitable for this job at all.

However, after the military factory was rebuilt into the Academy of Sciences, the main work of craftsmen was no longer based on laborious handwork.

Instead, it is biased towards mental activities.

It is undeniable that Du Shang is not a particularly talented person.

But he is very hardworking, and he can be said to be the hardest working person in the Academy of Sciences.

Because of this experience, in the Academy of Sciences, whoever admires Zhao Kun the most.

There is no doubt that Du Shang must be one of them.

Because of this, Du Shang was the first one who couldn't accept that Liang Ji actually handed over the gunpowder formula.

Du Shang burst into tears, looked at Liang Ji and said, "The dean really wants to do this?!"

Liang Ji sighed, lowered his head and patted Du Shang's head.

"Shang, the situation is stronger than people. Today's Daqin is so powerful, we people are not important at all. I just want to survive. Is there something wrong?"

Hearing this, both Liu Cheng and Keleian's eyes lit up.

To be honest, without these words, the two of them might not have believed that Liang Ji's formula was real.

But after Liang Ji said so, combined with the reactions of Du Shang and others, it is naturally not difficult to judge.

"A man lives in the world, he does something and he doesn't, and he kills himself to be a benevolent person. Does our Academy of Sciences have people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?!" Du Shang said angrily.

Liang Ji looked at Liu Cheng, pointed at the crowd and said, "These are good guys. It's just that I can't figure it out for a while, okay?"

Liu Cheng smiled and looked at Keleian.

Klein understood and waved his hand.

As a result, the surrounding Carthaginian soldiers all surrounded him.

Amidst the curses of everyone in the Academy of Sciences, there were only a few people left in the ancestral hall.

"Leave me alone for this matter." Liang Ji looked at Wu Luo who was still held by Liu Cheng, and said calmly.

Liu Cheng said with a smile: "Vice President Liang doesn't need to worry too much, as long as you cooperate, I will protect him from any worries."

"As you like."

Liang Ji said something expressionless.

He naturally knew what Liu Cheng was thinking, even though he had made various foreshadowing hints before.

But the matter is very important, how could Liu Cheng and Keleian completely trust him?
Uro has shown his cowardly side.

After Liang Ji wrote the formula, Wu Luo would definitely cooperate with the verification under the threat of death.

In this way, for the Carthaginians, nothing could go wrong.

However, Liang Ji didn't intend to cheat them in this regard.

He took the pen and paper, and wrote down the gunpowder formula again.

Keleian took the formula and glanced at it, and said in joy and surprise: "The famous gunpowder formula is so simple?"

"The formula for gunpowder is very simple, and only three things are needed. In my opinion, this discipline named chemistry by His Majesty is close to the knowledge of heaven and man. How can we understand that His Majesty is so extraordinary?" ?”

Keleian smiled and said with emotion: "I also admire His Majesty II very much!"

"I have handed over the gunpowder formula. The messenger should think about how to escape from Daqin." Liang Ji said coldly.

Keleian laughed loudly and said, "Please rest assured Vice President Liang on this point. Since we dared to do this, we have naturally arranged an escape strategy."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said with a sinister smile: "Besides, I never thought that the formula of gunpowder is so simple. I can find all three ingredients in Vice President Liang's formula.

Now, with three hundred soldiers under my command, it should not be difficult to prepare a thousand catties of gunpowder in two hours.

If Daqin's chasing soldiers came here, guess what would happen? "

Liang Ji shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm afraid the messenger underestimated the capabilities of the Black Ice Terrace and the Snare Net."

"Honestly speaking, the reason why you are able to go so smoothly is entirely because Daqin is in troubled times. In addition, Daqin is now in business with other countries, and faces of foreign races are not uncommon in Daqin. Otherwise, how could you succeed so easily?"

"After the incident, His Majesty must be furious."

"Under the full search of the Black Ice Terrace and the snare net, the messenger's whereabouts may not be hidden for long."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Keleian, as if reminding and threatening: "I estimate that the pursuers will arrive by tonight at the latest."

Keleian froze for a moment, then exchanged glances with Liu Cheng.

Klein is naturally no stranger to the organization of the Black Ice Platform, but he knows little about Luowang.

In fact, they have been active in Qin land this year, and they were almost discovered by the Black Ice Platform several times.

Thinking back to this day, Keleian still has lingering fears.

The Black Ice Platform is not just an intelligence agency, it also has a very strong force under its command.

And the net, mainly exists in the market, monitoring the world's wealthy, noble, and foreign races.

Today, there are more than [-] people in the Black Ice Terrace, Luowang, and Iron Eagle Swordsmen.

Most of these people gathered in Xianyang.

Iron eagle swordsmen alone can form an army of 3 people.

According to Crean's estimation, this army should be the most powerful army in the world.

However, things are not so exaggerated.

Their escape route is extremely concealed, and there are constant suspicions along the way.

Even if it is finally revealed, Klein believes that the number of pursuers who can arrive just by chance will not be many.

At this time, Liang Ji laughed again: "Actually, what I just said is only the most elementary gunpowder formula.

After five years of improvement by the Academy of Sciences, gunpowder has produced many varieties.I also know the formula that is several times more powerful than this simple gunpowder. "

"I remember that there is a red phosphorite mine three miles northeast of here. If the messenger can bring back some red phosphorite, I will hand over a powerful gunpowder newly developed by the Academy of Sciences."

Keleian frowned slightly, he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Liang Ji's words.

According to common sense, even if Liang Ji sincerely took refuge in Carthage, he wouldn't be so unscrupulous just after taking refuge in Carthage.

He is so active, is there some conspiracy behind it?
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Liang Ji immediately said with a stern face: "I did this as a last resort. Messenger should know, I almost broke with Daqin by saying those words in public.

If the pursuers are allowed to catch up, if one of today's people escapes alive, what will happen to me, the messenger will know? "

Crean was taken aback.

Daqin's laws are strict, and he has heard of them for a long time.

Although he has been in Daqin for nearly a year, he has never seen people being punished by law for ignorance.

But in his view, this is entirely because the people in Daqin have a high level of education, and almost everyone is literate.

In fact, according to the Daqin law he studied, even compared to the cool law of Carthage, he felt that it was too cool and poisonous.

There are many regulations, and only Rome's [-]th killing order can be compared with it in the whole of Europe.

Even though Liang Ji had nothing to worry about, if people found out that he had defected, then anyone close to him in the country would be punished.

This close person includes friends, students and so on.

Of course, Liang Ji definitely didn't care about this kind of thing.

Now what he thinks about is how to keep himself alive.

From this point of view, Liang Ji's current behavior is quite reasonable.

At this time, Liang Ji continued to say: "If the envoy has doubts, let me write it out. Uro is also here, even if I will deceive you, Uro will not lie! He is so afraid of death."

Keleian glanced at Liu Cheng, who nodded slightly.

So, Klein laughed loudly and said, "What did Vice President Liang say? Of course I believe Vice President Liang, so please ask Vice President Liang to write it again."

Liang Ji sneered in his heart, picked up a pen and scribbled a few lines on the paper.

Keleian picked up the formula again, took a look at it, and then handed it to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng pulled Wu Luo, pointed to the lines that Liang Ji added, and asked, "Is there a problem with this recipe?"

Uro had been frightened for a long time, but now he was trembling all over.

After finally calming down, he glanced at the words Liang Ji added.

At this time, no one noticed that Liang Ji's fingers had already been gripped until the joints turned white.

Lisanna next to him could feel his body trembling slightly due to tension.

There was no reason for Liang Ji not to be nervous. There was a big hole in the formula he made up.

Although Uro is a junior researcher of the Academy of Sciences, he has been hanging out in the Academy of Sciences since he was a child.

It can be said that Uro also participated in the development of gunpowder throughout the process.

Liang Ji believed that Wu Luo must be able to see the mystery in his supplement formula.

The reason why he dared to let Uro verify it was entirely because of his trust in Uro.

Liang Ji is just betting at the moment that the Academy of Sciences has no cowards.

Daqin, there is no coward.

He believed that Uro would definitely make the most correct choice.

At this time, Wu Luo raised his head and gave Liang Ji a blank look.

"how?"

Slowly raised the long knife in Liu Cheng's hand.

With a look of fear on Wuluo's face, he said intermittently: "Boil the red phosphorus at a high temperature. After reaching a certain temperature, cocoa can produce white phosphorus."

Liu Cheng said angrily, "How about white phosphorus?"

Liang Ji couldn't care less about hiding his expression at this time, his eyes were slightly nervous, staring at Wu Luo.

"White phosphorus is a kind of igniter. In theory, it can enhance the power of gunpowder. It's just that this kind of gunpowder is the first time I've seen it. It should be a new product from the Academy of Science and Technology. I don't know much about it."

Uro took a deep breath, then held the breath, stopped stuttering, and continued in one breath.

Liang Ji's palm slowly loosened.

Only Lisanna knew that his back was completely soaked at this time.

Liu Cheng looked at Liang Ji, and saw that his face had returned to indifference.

There is nothing unusual about the other party.

Liu Cheng believed that Wu Luo didn't dare to lie to himself when he was scared out of his wits.

After pondering for a while, he nodded slightly to Klein.
