my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 334 The chasm becomes a thoroughfare!
If this galloping road is not completed for a day, I will not be able to relax for a day, and I will have to continue to rely on places where birds don't poop.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but cursed again in a low voice.

Then he turned to look at the steward who was following him.

"Go and ask Mr. Brown to come over..."

After a while, Brown, wrapped in a sheepskin jacket, walked over behind the steward.

"General Lu, you called me..."

Although he is the youngest disciple of the Seventeenth under the name of Qin, because of his cheerful personality and his love for making friends, he has become the leader of this group of Mohist disciples.

As he spoke, he patted the dirt on his body.The air-conditioning in Bailongdui at the end of October was oppressive, but sweat was visible on his brown forehead. It was obvious that he had been working on the construction site just now.

"Mr. Brown, look at this damn weather, it's getting colder day by day. If it keeps going like this, I think it's going to freeze over and shut down work-"

Speaking of this, Lu Wan pointed to the messy construction site with some distress.

"I asked the locals that the freeze here will not thaw until April or May. If we can't think of a way, we may have to continue here for half a year before we can start construction again - Mr. is a scholar and is proficient in this area of ​​knowledge, so we might as well Think again, do you have any other options..."

Hearing this, Brown couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"If there is a way, how can I hide it? The general wants to go back, and so do I. Even if I can't go back to Xianyang, I want to go back to Hexi..."

Although Mohist apprentices do not pursue material comfort, they do not have a taste for self-abuse.After work, you can live in a red brick main house and eat wine and barbecue around the stove. Who wants to be cold here?

"Now, we have thought of all the ways we can think of and used all the tools we can use. The rest can only be endured..."

Having said this, Brown couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Lu Wan, who was frowning and looking troubled.

"Perhaps I can't say for sure. God can't stand it. Take pity on us. With a crack of thunder, all these messy stones were split open..."

Lu Wan couldn't help but laugh and cursed.

"If that day comes, I, Lu Wan, will have to lie down and kowtow to God no matter what I say..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in the distance.

"General Lu, His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is here. They say they have sent a batch of detonators. Please hurry over and accept them..."

Lu Wan: ...

He couldn't help but pick out his ears, turned his head, and asked in disbelief.

"What did you say you brought?"

"detonator--"

At this time, a school captain who came to inform Lu Wan and who often drank with Lu Wan had already panted and ran closer while talking.

Looking at Lu Wan, he said again with great certainty.

"Detonator! That's what the person who came here said. He said that His Highness the Emperor Changsun personally ordered it. He also said that General Lu must sign for it personally and keep it properly..."

Lu Wan: ...

This is the first time I heard that Lei Guan can also give it away!

Not to mention him, even Brown standing by was stunned.

Could it be that my mouth is open?

But the question is, even if the light is turned on, can this Lei Guan deliver?
"Let's go, let's go. I can't explain it to you. Just follow me and take a look. Anyway, there are several cars there. They are covered so tightly that I can't see what they are through the objects... …”

The three of them walked along the rugged rocks for almost two miles, crossed a steep rock wall, and finally reached a flat place.

Beside the repaired carriage road, there were several tightly wrapped carriages parked side by side.

What's strange is that not only are the carriages parked at an exaggerated distance from each other, but the distance between the accompanying guards and the carriages is also a bit abnormal.

It's like there's a savage beast hidden in that car, and it's going to come out and eat people at any time.

"General Lu, on the order of His Highness, we have sent four trucks of detonators to the general to help him!"

Although the captain who escorted the things over, like the captain just now, all spoke the colloquial language of their respective hometowns, Lu Wan heard it clearly this time.

It seems that the person the other party is talking about is indeed Lei Guan.

"open to take a look……"

After receiving Lu Wan's instructions, the captain waved his hand, and several accompanying guards rushed up, carefully untied the rope, and then gently pulled away the linoleum covering it, revealing the tube-like things inside. .

Lu Wan: ...

It’s been a long time, it’s a lot of pipes!
The tube is just a tube, what do you call a detonator?

And it’s so mysterious!
He secretly cursed in his heart, but this was sent by His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest, forcing out a stiff smile.

"This general, I don't know what this is and what its use is..."

Mentioning this, the captain escorting these trucks of detonators suddenly became energetic.

"This is a divine object developed by His Highness the Emperor's Grandson. The Emperor's Grandson said that the sound of this object is like thunder vibrating, and its appearance is like an ordinary copper pipe, so it is named a detonator——"

Having said this, the captain stepped forward and carefully pulled out a detonator.Then, he looked at Lu Wan, Brown and others who looked confused.

"Don't look at this thing for its small size, but its power is unparalleled. Just one stick can break mountains and crack rocks!"

Lu Wan:! ! ! ! ! !

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a document signed by His Royal Highness, Emperor Changsun, and a letter from the court, he would have dared to arrest the captain on the spot as a liar.

Brown on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He looked at the carload of detonators in disbelief, and wanted to step forward to take a closer look. However, before he could get close, he was stopped by the guards escorting the detonators.

"Sir, wait a minute. Although this object is powerful, it is also very dangerous. If it is not handled properly, it will cause big trouble!"

Having said this, he looked at Lu Wan, Brown and the others with serious expressions on their faces.

"Before coming, His Highness personally summoned us and personally taught me the issues that need to be paid attention to during the storage and transportation of this thing, as well as how to use it. He also repeatedly warned me that the general and others must not be allowed to accept it before they have been taught it. The general and others must not be allowed to approach at will..."

Lu Wan: ...

Seeing that the other party spoke seriously, Brown became more and more curious, but his steps stopped very obediently.

When the captain escorting the detonator saw this, he carefully took out a very carefully folded piece of paper from his arms and solemnly handed it to Lu Wan standing aside.

"These are the instructions for preserving and using the detonator..." Lu Wan:...

He coughed lightly and handed it to Brown aside.

"Sir, you might as well take a look first..."

Then, Yun Danfeng looked at the captain escorting the detonator.

"After all, this is a divine artifact developed by His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun. To be on the safe side, the general had better demonstrate it himself to avoid anything going wrong..."

The captain was not suspicious and nodded seriously.

"It's natural!"

As he spoke, he looked around.

"General, please follow me!"

With that said, he took a few detonators tied tightly together and walked in the direction where Lu Wan and others came.

Lu Wan and Brown were confused and didn't know what was going on, but they still followed the other party back obediently until they had walked two or three hundred meters. The other party stopped at a rock, squatted down, and carefully held the detonator in his hand. The ground was wedged into the gaps between the rocks.

He even stuffed it in deliberately.

Then he turned to look at Lu Wan and others.

"This place is dangerous. General, please retreat to the rock wall over there to avoid..."

Lu Wan looked behind her at the stone wall dozens of meters away, not knowing how to complain.Not to mention it's just a detonator, even if God himself struck this thing, I wouldn't have to hide so far away!

After the captain shouted, he ignored him and squatted there laying the wires for more than ten meters. Then he stopped, took out the fire sickle from his arms, and turned to look at the people who were still watching. Lu Wan.

"Generals, after I light the fire, you can run as fast as I can, run as fast as you want, run as fast as you can to that rock wall and hide..."

After saying that, he lit the fuse skillfully.

Before Lu Wan and others could react, the captain ran away like a frightened rabbit.This guy was running so hard that Lu Wan, Brown and the others couldn't help but feel inexplicably nervous, and they also ran for their lives.

Then, imitating the captain's waist, he hunched his waist, shrank his head, and hid behind the rock wall.

"That thing, with just a few tiny sticks, could it possibly be able to eat people? Why would the general be like that..."

Lu Wan just wanted to say something to tease the other party, but before she could finish her words, she was choked back.

First, there was a sound like a thunderbolt on dry land, and then, I felt the rocks shaking under my feet, the rock wall behind me was shaking, and the soil was falling!

Above their heads, a piece of gravel as big as a fist flew down against the cliff above several people's heads, hit the ground, and then rolled away as far as possible.

Lu Wan, Brown and the others were almost stunned.

If he had run a step slower just now and was hit on the head by this stone, he would not have to go back to his hometown directly.

Lu Wan was shocked and frightened at the same time. He didn't even care because his ears were buzzing. He straightened up carefully and looked at the rock where the detonator was plugged.

I saw that the huge rock that was blocking the road just now had already been torn apart and broken into a pile of rocks of different sizes!
Crack mountains and rocks!
At this moment, he suddenly understood what the captain meant by breaking mountains and cracking rocks just now. It turned out that he was not exaggerating or bragging, but telling the truth.

"It's amazing. This thing looks inconspicuous at first sight, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Even if it's a thunderbolt from God, I'm afraid that's all it will be like..."

He was shocked here, and Brown's reaction on the other side was even more exaggerated.

He was different from Lu Wan, who didn't know a few Chinese characters and even wrote his own name crookedly. He was an apprentice of the Mohist family, a direct disciple of Ju Ziqin, and he was proficient in the study of civil engineering.

Naturally, we are more aware of the power of this kind of thing.

"sulfur!"

He twitched his nose subconsciously, and immediately noticed the smell of sulfur in the air.Sulfur itself is a kind of medicinal material. It has anti-toxic and anti-inflammatory effects and has many uses. It is not only used by those magicians who make alchemy.Mohist apprentices travel around all year round and use sulfur to kill poisons and repel insects, which is a common thing.

But precisely because of this, the curiosity in his heart reached its peak.

He never expected that the sulfur he used frequently would have such terrifying power. If it were used in the city's offense and defense...

He thought quickly in his mind, but he couldn't remember how the city defense methods he was proficient in could resist this thing called a detonator.

It's too scary. As long as this thing can be placed under the city wall, no matter what kind of fortified city, it will have to stop under the terrifying power of this thing!
He had many thoughts here, but Lu Wan's thoughts were much simpler. He looked at the stone pit that was blackened by the bombing, and his eyebrows almost flew out with joy.

"It's a divine thing. It's simply a divine thing. With this thing - it's called a detonator, right? With this detonator, the construction progress of our road will definitely advance by leaps and bounds!"

After this little episode, Lu Wan became completely in awe of the detonators on these cars. Although she was jealous, she decisively stayed away from these things.

Brother Liu Ji said it right, that gentleman does not stand under any wall!

I haven't married yet, my life is more valuable than anyone else, so naturally I have to hide as far away from such a dangerous thing.Seeing that Brown was still squatting on the ground a little carried away, repeatedly checking the traces of the detonator explosion, he couldn't help but cough slightly and said with a serious expression.

"Mr. Brown, these detonators are the sacred objects given to us by His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun to build the Chidao. They are extremely powerful. If they are given to others, I feel a little uneasy. How about..."

"Why don't you leave it to us!"

Before Lu Wan could finish speaking, Brown had already taken over the words with burning eyes.

How could he care about Lu Wan's hidden thoughts? His current thoughts were all on the detonator.If Lu Wan and the captain weren't still standing here watching, he would have wanted to break open a detonator and take a closer look to see what was hidden inside.

The Mo family bravely shouldered the heavy responsibility and took over the tasks of guarding and using detonators very simply.

All are happy.

On that day, Lu Wan was in a good mood. He held a banquet in the camp to entertain the Qin elite who came to escort the detonators. He lit a bonfire directly outside the camp surrounded by rocks, roasted a whole sheep, and had people bring them specialties from the Western Regions. of wine.

Guests are happy.

The next day, after personally seeing off the team escorting the detonators, Lu Wan immediately sent someone to report to his eldest brother Liu Ji who was in charge of Yuanqucheng.

He stayed in Bailongdui and personally supervised the progress of the project.

This is not only related to whether they can return to Hexi or even Xianyang as soon as possible, but also related to the future and safety of the two brothers.

The sooner this road is built, the sooner he can feel at ease.

With the blessing of detonators, the entire project progress was accelerated dozens of times in an instant!
In the past, it would have been difficult for dozens of people to deal with it, and it would even take more than ten days to smash the tall rocks. You only need to use a chisel to smash a few small holes and plug a few detonators, and it can be solved in an instant.

It's as simple as dreaming.
