Chapter 28 Give him the raw materials and teach him how to make explosives!
Xiao Qidi nodded quickly; he really wanted it!
Ning Jinli then said, "Then you should pardon the patrol captain, and do not punish the other patrolmen, and you are not allowed to kill them."
Xiao Qidi raised an eyebrow. "Who said I was going to kill them?"
"You just said that we still need to be warned, isn't that..."
"Warning: Killing is not always necessary."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Ning Jinli was completely baffled.
Xiao Qidi looked at the patrol captain kneeling on the ground, "Get up. Remember this, it was Fairy Jinli who saved your life this time."
"Yes... Your Majesty!"
The patrol captain kowtowed to Ning Jinli before getting up.
Then, Xiao Qidi gave him an order—
"Block the news that enemy corpses were found here, and arrange for people to secretly clean up the area."
"In addition, select some dismembered bodies, tidy them up and display them, while telling everyone that these were traitors who had defected to the enemy, were reported and exposed, and were executed by me. The informant will be rewarded with a can of meat."
Hearing this, Ning Jinli frowned slightly.
This warning method is quite ingenious, but aren't you afraid it might lead to someone falsely accusing others for the sake of canned meat?
Seventy thousand people...
Even if most soldiers and civilians are simple and kind, there are still a very small number of those with wicked intentions.
She was about to give a reminder.
Hsiao Chi-ti continued, "Finally, it must be emphasized that if the whistleblower makes false reports or slanders, once discovered, they will be punished as traitors."
Ning Jinli breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, he had thought of everything quite thoroughly.
"Your subordinate obeys!" The patrol captain immediately sprang into action.
"Miss Ning, are you relieved now?" Xiao Qidi looked at Ning Jinli.
"Great!" Ning Jinli gave a thumbs up.
A hint of pride flashed in Xiao Qidi's eyes after being praised, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The gloomy aura on his handsome face dissipated a bit.
Under the bright blue sky and blazing sun, Ning Jinli seemed to see the shadow of a sunny and cheerful young man for a fleeting moment.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
"Oh right, where is that black water?" Ning Jinli remembered another important thing.
Xiao Qidi summoned a patrolling guard to lead the way.
He was busy dismembering the body and hadn't checked the black water yet.
The patrolling guards led the two over several piles of rocks, and at the other end, far from the groundwater outlet, they pointed to a huge crack in the mountain and said, "Your Majesty, Fairy, this is the place."
Black liquid is seeping out of the crack.
It had already clumped together into a small patch, black and shiny, and quite viscous.
Xiao Qidi squatted down beside him, dipped his finger in the tincture, rubbed it between his fingertips, and then smelled it under his nose. His eyes immediately lit up.
"This is petroleum grease. It looks like water, is black and shiny, and is viscous like grease."
“I have seen this in places where it appears. Local people use it to replace lamp oil or to start fires for cooking. It is a good thing.”
Upon hearing this, the patrolling guards who were leading the way were overjoyed.
He quickly said, "Your Majesty, does that mean we'll be able to eat hot food from now on?"
Xiao Qidi nodded. "It seems there must be more underground, which was also leaked out due to the explosion of the cave."
“Granular water…” Ning Jinli’s pupils contracted sharply.
She had seen it in an old book.
This seems to be another name people used for oil more than two thousand years ago!
And it looks a lot like oil!
Did she guess right?
"Could I take some?" she asked, trying to contain her excitement.
She wanted to take it back and have it tested by a professional institution.
If it really is oil, that would be incredible!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Qidi generously said, "It is all thanks to Miss Ning's help that this item was released. You can have it all, whether you want a little or nothing."
Afterwards, Ning Jinli put some in a disposable cup and took it back to the factory.
She called Xiao Qidi over as well and handed him the new phone she had just bought.
He was told that this device has a communication function similar to a walkie-talkie, but it requires a signal base station.
It doesn't work on his end.
However, if he comes here to look for her in the future and she is not at the factory, he can contact her anytime by phone.
Xiao Qidi has an exceptional learning ability and quickly learned how to make phone calls using a mobile phone.
"Besides making calls, you can also watch videos," Ning Jinli continued, demonstrating. "I downloaded a live demonstration video of explosives preparation, so you can follow along."
A mobile phone has too many functions, so teach him the most useful ones first.
Xiao Qidi held his phone, his eyes fixed on the changing images on the screen, his astonishment almost overflowing from his pupils.
After holding it in for a long time, I couldn't help but ask, "Is there a living person inside the phone?"
Ning Jinli laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Hahaha! No, no, it's all video recording. It's just that the scenes that happened were recorded in a way you don't understand yet, and then stored here so you can watch them anytime."
Xiao Qidi nodded, seemingly confused.
Ning Jinli thought for a moment and said, "There are three raw materials for making explosives: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. I still have several tons of the first two in my factory's warehouse, and I have also bought a lot of charcoal."
"I originally planned to send it all to you, but considering the danger of explosives, I'll give you a little bit first. Once you've learned how to properly prepare it, I'll send you the rest."
This thing needs to be handled with caution.
If we send them all over, and something goes wrong, the entire Linxian Village will be wiped out.
So she only gave Xiao Qidi a small amount of ingredients, about half a pound in total.
He repeatedly emphasized that everyone must pay close attention to safety and make sure to watch the video carefully before taking any action.
“Alright, thank you, Miss Ning.” Xiao Qidi said solemnly, “I have witnessed the power of explosives firsthand, so I will be extra careful.”
After Xiao Qidi left.
Ning Jinli didn't even have time to catch her breath before she immediately went online to buy a civilian drone.
Choose the best one, one with long battery life and the ability to record video at night.
Let's start with a hundred units.
"Hmm...then it's steel bars and cement, let's look for factories around here."
Ning Jinli sat in the warehouse, busy with her phone.
We quickly found a manufacturer and decisively placed a large order with them!
While I was at it, I contacted the same manufacturer I had bought hoes and shovels from last time and ordered another batch, plus several thousand handcarts.
With these basic farming tools, the soldiers and villagers of Linxian Village can build concrete city walls in the near future, and can also cultivate the land for farming in the future, achieving two goals at once.
"By the way, those people are still short of clothes and shoes..."
"Although it's the middle of summer and there's no need to worry about keeping warm, everyone is barely clothed, making it easy for them to get injured while working."
Ning Jinli was preparing to place another order.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the factory has a production area for daily necessities.
The factory is so big that even now, after she inherited it, there are still many places she hasn't been to.
There's no guarantee that there won't be unsold inventory in the warehouses of daily necessities production areas!
She immediately drove her newly bought Mercedes-Benz G-Class straight to the warehouse.
A dozen minutes later, we arrived at the daily necessities production area. As soon as I got out of the car, a phone call came in.
She answered the phone casually, and Ning Yao's shrill roar immediately rang in her ears, "Ning Jinli! You've gone too far! What exactly do you mean?!"
