Quancheng, Prince Yi's Palace.

"Qin Mu rebelled?"

Li Wencheng was shocked for a long time by this news.

In his opinion, since Qin Mu gathered the remnants of the Zhenxi Army, he must be loyal to the court.

Little did they know that Qin Mu had killed the imperial envoy and cut off his own escape route.

"Haha, this is good news. What's the situation in the south now?"

"Two hundred thousand new troops turned around and headed for Juyang City, probably intending to deal with Qin Mu first."

"Send a message to Qin Mu immediately. As long as he surrenders, I can send troops to rescue him."

…

"Senior, are we really leaving?"

Outside Juyang City, Qin Mu felt quite reluctant to leave.

Chen An said, "What's the point of defending a broken city? You should stay out of the way and let the court and Prince Yi fight it out."

"You're right. Before you have absolute strength, you should be as conservative as possible."

He fled with his army to the northwest, near the primeval forest.

After the new army captured Juyang City, it was impossible for them to pursue and kill Qin Mu, and they could only continue to fight against the rebel Yi Wang according to the original plan.

A few days later, in the primeval forest.

"Senior, why don't those spirit beasts attack us?"

Chen An felt uncomfortable with the title of spirit beast and said, "You will be going out sooner or later, so it's best to get used to being called a star beast in advance."

"Senior, you always say I want to go out, but where to?"

"It's not something you should be considering right now. I'll find you an ally."

Qin Mu was dumbfounded when he learned that his ally was the strongest star beast force within a thousand miles.

"Senior, why do they listen to you?"

Especially the big bird with blue feathers.

Chen An said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. I'll give you a task. In the next five years, build a base in the northwest. For the time being, don't participate in any wars unless absolutely necessary."

“Is five years too long?”

"With the world in such chaos, it will take at least ten or twenty years for a resolution to occur. All you have to do is accumulate power. Let me ask you a question: what was the technological level of the planet you traveled to?"

Speaking of Lucky Star, Qin Mu said enthusiastically: "We have guns that can kill people instantly, aircraft that can travel thousands of miles a day, and a super weapon called a nuclear bomb. Just one can destroy an entire city. You may not understand these, so I will explain them to you in detail..."

Chen An: "I have a full set of technologies, but what I lack is talent."

Qin Mu: "What do you mean by firearms...? Do you understand these?"

"Do you think I'm an old-fashioned guy? Forget guns. I can even build spaceships. But building these things requires a complete industrial system, and talent is the key."

Qin Mu was shocked. "You mean to train industrial talents from scratch? That's too difficult. It would take at least a hundred years to train two generations of talents."

"I didn't say we should build a complete industrial system right now. I'm saying I'll help you unify the empire first. If you can't produce high technology, gunpowder will work, right? Just imagine, if there are enough bombs, wouldn't everyone be dead, regardless of whether they're in the Infinite Realm or the Star-Picking Realm?"

Qin Mu became excited.

"Yes, we can make simple explosives without much industrial support."

Chen Ando said: "My request is to produce guns and artillery within five years and equip at least 5,000 people."

"Your idea is great, but the technology is there but no one is willing to build it, and the materials are very limited..."

Chen Ando said, "I have selected over a hundred soldiers from your army. You should select them to systematically learn new knowledge. They will serve as the foundation of your future industrial empire. In addition, it is very important that you send people to collect craftsmen from all over the place."

After giving his instructions, Chen An asked Fuyao, "Are you sure they can handle it?"

These soldiers are born with exceptional mental strength and can withstand even small amounts of information. With my assistance, they will master the vast amount of knowledge they need in just two weeks.

If there were no two-dimensional membrane to limit the efficiency of information transmission, Fuyao could instill more information, provided that the target's brain area was sufficiently developed.

In the following days, Qin Mu commanded the army to reclaim wasteland and build a simple base.

Lan Yu's help is also crucial. In addition to providing a large amount of food, there are also many spiritual objects. After all, Qin Mu's strengthening cannot stop, and it must be sufficient every day.

Two months later, a crude bomb was successfully detonated, powerful enough to kill the second-level Ascension.

Four months later, the first flintlock rifle was successfully built. Although there was a risk of explosion, it could exert considerable power and could kill a third-level Ascension Level cultivator, provided the opponent did not dodge.

Qin Mu is full of confidence in this regard.

"Senior, it really can be done. As long as I have a 5,000-man firearms force, I can sweep the world."

Chen An poured cold water on him: "It's far from enough. War is fought for resources. We need enough gunpowder and bullets. Do you have them?"

"Hehe, just accumulate them slowly, there's no rush. I have an idea. We can't pile all 40,000 people here. Instead, we should send at least 20,000 people out to seize some of the surrounding cities as outposts and expand our military strength. The court is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Prince Yi in Quancheng and has no energy to care about us."

Chen An said indifferently: "You can make your own decision. I have said it before, I only make suggestions, not decisions."

After that, Qin Mu divided the soldiers into two groups.

One part builds the rear base, and the other part expands on the front line.

When a large number of new weapons appear, they can be experimented with on the front lines, killing two birds with one stone.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and Qin Mu reported the results to Chen An.

"The firearm has been upgraded to version 7, eliminating the risk of barrel explosion and capable of killing defenseless Chakra Realm warriors, or what is now known as the Fourth Ascension Stage after the standardized name. I plan to name this version the Rapid-Fire Rifle, mass-produce it, and officially deploy it in the war."
