Lin Zhongtian chuckled and stretched out a hand. The misty gray fog kept swirling in his palm, changing into various shapes.

"Since I dare to bring you here, I have the confidence. The gray fog in this space is exactly the same as the power in my body. Here, I can not only make the gray fog leave my body, but also control the gray fog around me to a certain extent. Even if a high tide event really happens, I am confident enough to take you away from here."

Of course, whether the tide rises or not is up to Lin Zhongtian himself.

He just didn't want to reveal his true identity for the time being, so he made up this lie.

Zhao Lihe heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Brother, I feel relieved when you say that."

Lin Zhongtian smiled, raised the high-power flashlight in his hand, turned and walked towards the palace.

Zhao Lihe followed closely behind, and the two returned to the empty hall. Zhao Lihe quickly walked to the altar and began to play with the guns on the table lovingly.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Take it if you like it. I found so many old guns from World War I and World War II just to give to you."

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhao Lihe was overjoyed when he heard that. He quickly thanked Lin Zhongtian, then looked at the guns in front of him and said with emotion, "This is the world of John Wick. If it were any other world, it would not be easy to find such a batch of arms in such a short time."

"Indeed." Lin Zhongtian nodded, and then asked with interest, "Do you want to visit the world of John Wick?"

Zhao Lihe thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, that world is too dangerous. I have a wife and children now, and a group of loyal subordinates who depend on me for their livelihood. This life is no longer my own, and I must not die."

Lin Zhongtian praised: "Not bad, you are beginning to realize your role as a leader."

Zhao Lihe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I was forced to do this. Ever since I was put in prison, those rascals in the village have been watching me all the time, fearing that if they weren't paying attention, I would sneak out of the base camp and be caught and imprisoned by Chongzhen. To be honest, only you, my brother, can take me out of Hanzhong. If it were anyone else, they would probably stop me."

"Oh? I still have this kind of reputation?"

"Of course. After all, the title of the world's best master is not something I made up for you!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed when he heard this, then picked up a Mauser 98k, pulled the bolt, and said, "I'm giving you all the weapons and ammunition here. It's up to you how to arrange them. I don't care."

"Don't worry, bro!"

Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "Except for the old bolt-action rifles from World War I and World War II, I will not take the rest with me, let alone let them wander around and threaten my personal safety."

Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "There's no need to be so extreme. You still need to bring weapons for self-defense, such as this..."

As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian handed him a black pistol. Zhao Lihe took it and took a look. It was the HKP30L used by John Wick, the protagonist in the first John Wick film.

This gun is a semi-automatic pistol designed and produced by Heckler & Koch in 2006. It is also an improved version of the P2000, one of the two initial police pistols in the well-known FPS game CSGO. It has a detachable double-row magazine that can hold 15 rounds of 9mm bullets.

"nice one!"

Zhao Lihe played with the pistol excitedly, his face full of eagerness to try.

It can be seen that at this moment he must be looking for something to shoot.

However, he suppressed his inner desire, turned his head and looked at Lin Zhongtian with a wry smile, "Brother, although these guns and ammunition can directly improve the military strength of the Alliance, this is after all a case of forcing things to grow. Without a sound industrial system, we can't even get any bullets replenished."

"You're asking me for technology!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and patted Zhao Lihe on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time."

As he spoke, he pulled out a briefcase from behind the altar, placed it in front of Zhao Lihe, and said, "Inside this are some technologies and materials from the industrial age that I collected, including but not limited to steam engines, textile machine drawings, fulminate of mercury manufacturing technology, etc. You can look up the specific technologies yourself, so I won't go into details one by one."

There is actually technology to manufacture fulminate of mercury!

Zhao Lihe was overjoyed and quickly thanked Lin Zhongtian, then couldn't wait to open the box.

Lin Zhongtian also knew why he was so happy.

As a modern man who was reborn in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Lihe has sufficient land, manpower and money. Naturally, he will try to establish his own industrial system, develop industrial technology, improve productivity, and set off a wave of industrial revolution.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhao Lihe established a number of secret factories in the Qinling Mountains.

Among them was a military factory specializing in the research of flintlock and percussion rifles.

By now, with the help of Zhao Lihe himself, this military factory has mastered the flintlock manufacturing technology that far exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty.

There were even extremely skilled craftsmen who, based on Zhao Lihe's description, created a firing rifle with a hammer and firing pin, as well as brass bullets that looked very decent. The only thing missing was the explosive fulminate of mercury.

Now that he has obtained this technology, Zhao Lihe is naturally ecstatic.

As long as this gap is filled, the next step is to vigorously develop steam power and manufacture steam-powered machine tools, so as to mass-produce gun barrels and bullets and achieve complete self-sufficiency.

Of course, Zhao Lihe can also choose to go to John Wick to get a high-tech modern lathe.

But forcing things to happen will ultimately lead to disaster.

If you want to guide a group of indigenous people from the feudal era into the industrial age, it is better to develop step by step and down to earth.

When we have established an education and research system guided by natural sciences and scientific methodology and cultivated a new generation of students with more scientific thinking, we can then consider introducing more advanced technologies to enable the world to develop rapidly.

Lin Zhongtian expressed support for Zhao Lihe's idea, but he didn't care.

In his eyes, that world will belong to Zhao Lihe sooner or later, and how he wants to develop it is Zhao Lihe's own business.

…

…

At the same time, Lin Zhongtian's Zuo Yu clone was holding his chin with his hand, looking boredly at the teacher who was chattering on the podium.

That’s right, Zuo Yu is just a 17-year-old boy after all, and theoretically he still needs to go to school.

Therefore, after dealing with the relevant matters of the inheritance, Zuo Yu's butler and legal guardian Vlad seriously stated that the young master should go to school and get along with his peers.

The reason why he made such a suggestion was mainly because Lin Zhongtian's performance in recent days was too mature and vicious, and he even smiled and pointed the gun at his blood uncle's head.

Vlad felt both relieved and worried by this performance.

He believed that the young master had stayed in the dark world for too long and had suffered a certain degree of physical and mental trauma. He needed to return to school and get some exposure to the sun in order to restore his physical and mental health.

Lin Zhongtian originally thought it was unnecessary, but then he remembered that he had never been to such an aristocratic private school, so out of curiosity he agreed to Vlad's request and came to this famous private school in Los Angeles.

Just as he imagined, there was not a single ordinary student in this school.

Either they are the second generation from a wealthy family, or they are true geniuses.

This is not surprising. After all, the average annual tuition fee is 100,000 US dollars, which is really unaffordable for ordinary people.

The predecessor Zuo Yu was introverted and shy. Although he had good academic performance, he did not like to participate in social activities. Throughout his student career, he only joined a relatively marginal society called the Chinese History Research Society.

Almost all the students there are of Chinese descent who are interested in the history of their motherland.

At this point, we have to mention that the reason why Zuo Yu's parents chose this school was because it is the private school with the highest proportion of Asian students in Los Angeles.

Among them, white students account for 44% and Asian students account for as high as 38%.

Take Lin Zhongtian’s class as an example. At a glance, more than one-third of the students are of Chinese descent.
