A month is not long, especially when every day is arranged in a full range. In almost a flash, the "novice period" of a month ends.

In this month, the gray fog stronghold, renamed "Golden Fire", has been fully renovated. Not only has the surface buildings been repaired, but also a number of functional spaces have been opened underground, such as a shelter to avoid black tides and a laboratory for experts.

At the same time, on the same day as the "novice period" ended, the Jinhuo Fortress also harvested the first batch of crops. Although they were all crops with poor taste and single nutritional content, it at least means that the Jinhuo Fortress has officially started to be on the right track and can be self-sufficient to a certain extent.

According to Major General Li, he finally gained a firm foothold in this world.

However, in Sawyer's view, this is no longer as simple as standing firmly. At least from the perspective of ordinary people, the power of the Golden Fire Staff is far from the average level, especially after the successful development of the first batch of "new gunpowder".

According to several experts, with two different dwarf gunpowder as samples, it is not as difficult to develop new and available gunpowders as imagined. Based on the gunpowder brought from the earth, several experts only took five days to develop the first batch of "new gunpowder".

These new gunpowders can give bullets enough kinetic energy to shoot through the defense of gray beasts, causing enough damage to ordinary gray beasts, and their lethality is almost the same as when they were on Earth.

However, compared with the genuine dwarf gunpowder, there is still a big gap. During the Black Tide in the Blue City before, Sawyer had seen the power of the dwarf gun. If he could hit it, even a high-level black beast would have to kneel down if he had to put this power on the earth... it would probably be able to break the frontal armor of the main battle tank within one kilometer?

Of course, the power of the dwarf musket is not just the result of gunpowder, but also has a lot to do with the bullets used in the musket and the musket itself. From the most intuitive perspective, each of the original bullets used in the dwarf musket is lightly effective for armor-breaking and enchanting.

The dwarf musket itself is also an expensive enchantment item. It can bless the projectile with multiple short-term enchantment effects at the moment it is fired, such as stabilizing the ballistics, overcoming resistance, continuously increasing, etc.

When Sawyer introduced the dwarf muskets to Major General Li and a group of experts, "from the perspective of mechanical aspects and manufacturing techniques alone," the guns used by Major General Li and others "in fact, they are better than the dwarf muskets, or they are leading several generations."

This sentence is not wrong. After all, the dwarf musket does not even rifle, but Sawyer deliberately ignores the gap between enchantment and material.

However, this is not a big problem for Major General Li's team. Under Sawyer's reminder, in addition to their own scientific research, a group of scientific researchers will also practice magic on the spell side every day. The experts are not disgusted with this. After all, stronger mental power can make their thinking more sensitive and improve their work efficiency in disguise.

With the cultivation of a group of experts, sooner or later they will be exposed to knowledge about enchantment. At that time, with their scientific research qualities, I believe that weapons that are comparable to those of dwarf muskets will be developed soon.

Well, Sawyer wouldn't say that this is because he had seen an enhanced version of the dwarf musket from the "Golden Flame Front" organization.

In addition to Major General Li and his team, the other eight time travelers have made more obvious progress in their strength.

After all, in Major General Li's team, in addition to meditation and learning magic basics, scientific researchers spend more time on scientific research work, while combatants have to spend a lot of time to build bases and do farm work, which inevitably slows down the improvement of their own strength.

The other eight time travelers are different. In addition to learning Old Noord for a fixed time every day, they basically spend their other time learning and training in various skills. With Sawyer giving advice from time to time, his strength naturally improved rapidly. In this month, although these eight newcomers have never left the stronghold and have not experienced actual combat, they have pushed their level to level five or above through training alone.

However, the subsequent upgrade is not that simple.

"What? Must leave?"

A group of cute newbies just got the novice equipment from Boss Sawyer and learned the bad news - they were about to leave the stronghold and enter the gray fog!

"Do you still want to stay in the novice village all the time?" Soya rolled his eyes. He was already very patient with this group of cute newbies. "But if you want to join the Yanhuang Blade, then I have nothing to say."

So the newbies were silent, and Sawyer didn't say anything more, but came to the gate of the stronghold alone and met Major General Li who was waiting for him here.

"I'm leaving now?"

"Why, can you bear to leave me?" Sawyer joked and said, "I have paved the road for you. How to go next is not my problem. Do you have no confidence in yourself?"

"It's weird if you have confidence!" Major General Li gave Suoya a blank look and sighed again, "Just with the dozens of guns in my hand, how could I not worry?"

"Don't worry, what do you think I'm busy with these days?" Sawyer pointed to the gray fog outside the gate. "Don't you think the fog here is much less diluted than when you first came?"

"kindness?"

Major General Li raised his eyebrows, looked out, and Sawy's voice came from his ears, "I have set up an isolation barrier on the outside of the stronghold, and only low-level gray beasts are allowed to pass. A strange beast with a certain strength will be killed the moment it touches the barrier. Now, you should be confident, right?"

"A little bit, or you..."

"Don't even think about it!" Before Major General Li finished speaking, Sawyer interrupted him, "Although I am the city lord of Blue City, I have the ability to transfer a lot of resources to you, but you should also understand what the price it takes to obtain these resources."

"Then follow the previous plan."

Major General Li was not annoyed. He naturally knew what Sawyer said about the "price" refers to, nothing more than "loyalty" and "dependence". Of course, some or even most of the resources are indispensable.

Of course, there are simpler choices, and this choice is right in front of him. He only needs a formal loyalty to gain Sawyer's full support!

However, even formal loyalty is not something that a Chinese general can give!

Or, this is the price he represents that the will he does not allow him to pay!

The Multiverse Republic of China will never survive in any form based on the wings of others!
