There was a violent storm all night.
Fang Zhengyi woke up early and packed his bags.
Luo Ningxin still had to get up to help him dress and serve him. Seeing her get up and take two crooked steps, Fang Zheng put his arm around her slender waist and laid her down on the bed.
"Sleep a little longer, no need to send me off."
Hearing that he cared about her, Luo Ningxin nodded shyly.
Fang Zheng looked at him, smiled slightly, and walked out with the package.
But I felt inexplicably heavy when I left the house, after all, I had an extra responsibility... I never had a girlfriend in my previous life, so I've been too smooth in this life...
By the time they arrived outside the city, Ao Chen's prepared men had already gathered.
More than a hundred people were ready to go, including people with special skills such as the habitual thief Bai Rui and the bandit Lian Gui.
Many people from the county government came to see him off.
As soon as Fang Zheng appeared, everyone stood up and greeted him.
Xiao Tao came up to Fang Zhengyi with a bag in her hand and said, "Here, some food. Take it with you on the road."
After that, she reached out to help him straighten his collar, muttering, "Your own clothes? You're so grown up that you can't even wear clothes properly."
"Why didn't Ningxin help you put it on..."
"What is she helping me put on?" Fang Zheng asked guiltily.
"Stop pretending. If you scream any louder, the whole county will hear you!" Xiao Tao said expressionlessly, "You bastard!"
Fang Zheng chuckled, feeling very embarrassed.
Only Xiaotao dares to talk to me like this.
I was so impulsive that I forgot Xiaotao lived not far from me.
But was it really that loud?! I didn’t feel it at the time.
After adjusting her collar and patting him twice, Xiao Tao reminded him, "Be careful on the road, go early and come back early."
\"Ah, I see. Take good care of the house! I'll bring you some local specialties when I come back!"
After chatting for a while, a man emerged from the crowd that had come to see him off.
The man was Mo Xiaohu from the Firearms Institute. He was holding a large wooden box in his hands. He walked up to Fang Zhengyi and said earnestly, "Master, we heard that you were leaving, so we made a few guns overnight. Take them with you for self-defense!"
After saying that, he opened the box, revealing four short guns and wearable holsters inside.
It was exactly the three-shot pistol that Xie Xian carried!
Fang Zheng reached out and picked up one, then gestured towards the distance.
"Bang"!
One shot fired, full of power!
He nodded with satisfaction and took the box: "It's well made! I'll remember your contribution!"
Mo Xiaohu smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Master... that funding... can you please approve it?"
Fang Zhengyi sneered, "You still want money? Wait until you learn not to use public funds to eat, drink, gamble and whore. That's when you'll have a chance!"
"But...but the people in the Steam Institute are also spending money recklessly! They are just a bunch of people who boil water! We can do that too!" Mo Xiaohu said indignantly.
Fang Zhengyi was about to speak when another person emerged from the crowd, carrying a large box, and shouted angrily, "Mo Xiaohu! What nonsense are you talking about to me?"
Then she walked up to Fang Zhengyi and cried, "Master, please don't let him bullshit you! We are all doing serious research!"
"Isn't it just a gun? We have one in the Steam Institute too. If you bring it this time, it will definitely be better than theirs!"
As he spoke, he opened the box, revealing a set of strange things inside.
A gun connected to a large metal backpack by a tube.
"Master, this is a steam gun! It doesn't use gunpowder, it doesn't have any odor, it's much better than the garbage in the firearms department!"
Mo Xiaohu crossed his arms and sneered, "Han Qi, who are you trying to tire out with this junk?"
Han Qi rolled his eyes at him, put on his backpack, and said to him, "Master, just watch!"
Fang Zhengyi was actually curious at this moment, and he looked at it with interest, pinching his chin.
Steam gun? There is such a thing? I have never heard of it in my previous life!
But in principle it seems feasible...
After getting dressed, Han Qi reached for the end of the backpack with a tinder. There seemed to be a special place for kerosene inside, and the smell was very unpleasant.
The moment it came into contact with the sparks, a grid inside caught fire and a faint black smoke continued to emerge along the metal grid.
Mo Xiaohu mocked, "Did you burn your brain from boiling water? Aren't you afraid of burning your butt?"
Han Qi was not willing to be outdone and shot back, "You know nothing, shut up!"
Fang Zheng looked serious. This was nothing to laugh at!
A small step for the Steam Institute, a giant leap for mankind!
There is actually such a magical tool as the steam gun. Wouldn’t it save a lot of money on gunpowder in the future?
The crowd gradually gathered around Han Qi. Surrounded by more than a hundred people, Han Qi's face became a little more restrained.
"Shoot!" Fang Zheng urged.
There was anticipation in everyone's eyes.
"Wait a minute...the water hasn't boiled yet..." Han Qi blushed and stammered.
With a chuckle, the crowd dispersed.
You actually take out this kind of junk to show off? If we really want to fight, by the time your water boils, your bodies will be cold!
Mo Xiaohu burst into laughter on the spot, pointing at Han Qi and starting to mock him crazily.
The smile on Fang Zheng's face disappeared in an instant, and he turned around and ran away.
As he walked, he said, "Ao Chen! Starting today, half of the Steam Research Institute's funding will be allocated to the Firearms Research Institute!"
"Everyone! Get ready to go!"

Wu Wangfu
Chen, the butler of the palace, walked quickly into the study with a few pieces of letter paper.
When I opened the door, King Wu was writing something at his desk.
Butler Chen lowered his head and placed the letter on the table, then stood aside.
