Sergio Gattuso and Xiao Su Guang ran across two streets in a hurry, and then they stopped panting, leaning against the wall to catch their breath.
Both of them had a blank look in their eyes, confused about the future. They sat slowly in the corner and sighed. Xiao Su Guan fumbled in his arms for a long time before he took out two copper coins and said with a wry smile: "The cock crows tonight.
We can still have a meal, but I'm afraid we'll be hungry all day again tomorrow."
Gattuso stared blankly at the passers-by in front of him, then looked at his own appearance, and couldn't help but wailed: "Oh God, how could this happen?"
"Stop calling your god your god. I heard you shout it a thousand times, but your god didn't even send us a pound of saltpeter or a pound of sulfur. He didn't even send us a single piece of cake." Xiao Suguan was dismayed.
Authentic: "Think of a way quickly, we have to deal with tomorrow's food first."
Gattuso grabbed his golden head, with a look of helplessness on his face, and murmured to himself: "It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this, this is a miracle, a miracle to be created, a miracle like Aristotle.
"
He spoke vaguely, and Xiao Sugu couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck those bullshit Dodds, go away, go away." He stood up and was about to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Sugun suddenly saw a beautiful young man in luxurious clothes walking over with a smile. Wen Yan asked him, "Do you want to eat Taiheyuan's fermented rice dumplings?"
Xiao Sugun was startled, and Gattuso next to him also showed a puzzled look. The two looked at each other and smiled, but both frowned.
The beautiful young man didn't wait for them to speak, turned around and walked away, leaving behind the words: "If you want to eat, come with me!"
At this time, even if it was a trap, Xiao Sugun wouldn't think too much about it, and Gattuso naturally only followed Xiao Sugun. When he saw Xiao Sugun, he followed him without hesitation. He hurriedly got up and followed him.
In the back.
The young man is of course Xue Poye!
Many people in the foreign area knew the history of these two guys very clearly, and Xue Poye found out easily, and couldn't help but have great curiosity and interest in these two guys.
In his opinion, things like saltpeter, sulfur, and lime are naturally inextricably related to gunpowder. Naturally, there was no gunpowder in this era. It belonged to the extreme cold weapon era. The projects these two guys studied,
If it was gunpowder, it would definitely shock Xue Poye.
Although he came from the future world, in that era, gunpowder was everywhere, and even nuclear weapons were developed. However, as an ordinary person, although Xue Poye vaguely knew the components of gunpowder, he could not make gunpowder by himself.
If you walk in the bustling metropolis of the future and find hundreds of people, everyone may know what gunpowder is, but almost no one can actually develop gunpowder independently.
Are these two ancient people really developing gunpowder?
However, I heard from everyone that Xiao Su Gu and Gattuso also wanted to buy a copper furnace, which was somewhat divergent from the development of gunpowder. Xue Poye’s biggest suspicion was that he felt that Xiao Su Gu must have been in the Ten Thousand Immortals Temple.
, I figured out the method of refining a certain panacea, so after I came out, I tried to refine the elixir at all costs. If I really refined it, I would no longer have to worry about money. By then, the wealth would naturally roll in.
Whether it was gunpowder or a strange elixir, Xue Poye was a little excited.
So he easily found these two living treasures and prepared to enter their world.
Xue Poye naturally has a lot of money. This time when he went to Beijing, he had already prepared enough money, so he spent the money freely in Taihe Garden in Kyoto, filling the table with delicious food and wine, which made Xiao Su Guan and Gattuso's eyes
The light shines brightly. Of course, these two people are not fools. Xue Poye invited them to a restaurant for no reason to have a good time and have a good time. Of course, there is a purpose. Although the two people thought of this, their hungry bellies kept growling. The table full of delicious food and wine was
Tempting their appetites and collapsing their remaining pitiful will, they finally started eating and drinking without ceremony after a period of silence.
Sergio Gattuso seemed to be able to maintain his aristocratic demeanor. At first, he drank slowly and slowly, until he found that Xiao Su Guang devoured most of his favorite dishes, and there was not even half of them.
The meaning of letting go finally revealed the nature of the animal, firmly grabbing the delicious food.
Xue Poye didn't speak from the beginning to the end, watching them eat and drink with a smile, until the table full of food was almost all gone, and the two living treasures hugged their bellies and burped, then he said warmly: "Let's go to the bathhouse to take a shower
bath."
After he paid the bill, he led the two guys directly to the bathhouse in Kyoto.
The water in the bathhouse was hot and steamy. The three of them soaked comfortably in the pool, letting the hot water burn their skin. Amid the smoke, Xue Poye looked at the two of them with expressions as if they were in heaven.
.
The master who gave the bath was from Yangzhou, and his skills were very good. He wiped out many gray stripes from the accumulated stains on the two babies, leaving them as red and tender as a newborn baby. Both of them showed their teeth.
He has a toothache, but he enjoys the pleasure and comfort brought by the pain.
When the two of them came out of the bathhouse, they looked much more energetic and energetic. Gattuso was really a good-looking guy, tall and well-proportioned, with golden blue eyes, and he was really charming.
Xue Poye kept walking and took the two of them into a clothing store. When they came out, the two guys had already put on new comfortable and loose clothes.
"Sir, tell me, what do you want us to do?" As soon as Xiao Su Guan came out of the clothing store, he immediately asked directly: "If you can do it, of course you have no problem. If you can't do it, don't blame us, sir."
Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled: "Let's go, take me to see your work."
"What?" Xiao Sugun opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "What do you want to see?"
"I've spent so much money, and I don't hesitate to bankrupt my family. You are not fools. I also believe that the things you tinker with are not ordinary things. Come on, take me there. I want to know what on earth you are doing?" Xue Poye said slowly and authentically.
"No!" Gattuso couldn't help shouting: "Absolutely not."
Xue Poye said "Oh" and looked at this guy with golden and blue eyes. Although he was a little weird in Da Chu's clothes, he was still vigorous. He touched his nose and stared at Gattuso, and asked leisurely: "No?"
Xiao Sugun glared at Gattuso and said with a smile: "Sir, don't listen to nonsense. I am in charge of this matter. He is just my assistant. What he says does not count."
Gattuso said with a blushing face: "Brother, we... that's ours. If no one knows about it, it won't be worth anything. Oh... God...!" He was obviously really anxious, and he was half-baked at the words.
He spoke with a foreign accent and looked very funny.
Xiao Su kicked him with a stick and cursed: "It's worth a damn, I'm about to starve to death. If it weren't for this adult's help, we would both be drinking from the northwest wind."
Gattuso knew that what he said was true. Although he was very reluctant, he did not dare to speak anymore.
Xiao Sugun turned to Xue Poye, cupped his hands and said, "What's your surname, sir?"
"My surname is Xue!" Xue Poye said with a smile: "I am not an adult, just a commoner like you."
"Xue... Hehe, Brother Xue, the younger one's surname is Su, and this is the crow of a stuffed chicken...!" Little Su Guan introduced.
"No." Gattuso said angrily: "I'm not crowing, that's an insult to my name. My name is Sergio Gattuso, Gattuso, a noble surname!" At this point, his face changed.
There was a noble expression on his face.
"Yes, yes, the surname is Gattuso." Xiao Su Guan glanced at Gattuso and said to Xue Poye with a smile: "Your Excellency, if you want to see what we are doing, it is natural. But let me make it clear first.
Our things are so tattered that they are not worth looking at at all, but tinkering with them costs money. To others, it is just spending a lot of money tinkering with a pile of rubbish. If you see it, don't be disappointed."
Xue Poye nodded and said: "Things that can be spent money are not useless." After a pause, he chuckled and said: "If it is really useful, my money can also be put to use."
"Yin?" Xiao Su Guang showed a look of joy: "You...you mean you want to spend money to help us?"
Of course he was very happy. The project he had worked so hard to research was stopped due to financial reasons. This was something he was extremely reluctant to see. Could the novel idea he had come up with one day really be destroyed?
Today, I suddenly met Xue Poye and even had the possibility of investing. This made Xiao Sugun extremely excited. Gattuso on the side was obviously also a little happy, but there was a trace of worry deep in his eyes.
"That's not necessarily the case." Xue Poye chuckled and said, "Let's take a look at your things before making a decision. I have money, and I can't just throw it into the water."
Xiao Su Guan was very excited about the possibility of receiving unexpected funding. Without further words, he led Xue Po Ye and headed south.
Of course Xiao Sugun and Gattuso can be considered living on the streets now. The two grown men built a cloth tent next to a large garbage dump in Kyoto. The tent was not big, very dilapidated, and looked quite miserable.
This is the garbage dump in Kyoto. In the imperial palace, the mansions of princes and nobles, the mansions of dignitaries, the homes of aristocratic merchants, and even the homes of ordinary people will always produce huge amounts of garbage. And this is where garbage accumulates. Everyone
There is a big burning in the city every month, but on weekdays, there are piles of garbage. From time to time, you can see the cleaning eunuchs of the palace and the servants from various mansions bringing garbage in carts. The place is full of stench and rotten smell, and it is very unpleasant.
.
Xue Poye frowned. He really didn't expect the living conditions of the two people to be so bad. Seeing Xiao Sugun and the other two looking careless, they didn't dislike the smell here. It seemed that they had lived here for a long time and were completely adapted to it.
The smell and environment.
"Xue...Brother Xue, please!" Xiao Sugun walked to the tent and opened the tent door. As soon as Xue Poye walked to the door, he really smelled the smell of gunpowder.
When I walked into the tent, I saw that it was messy inside. There was a copper stove on the west side, which was set up on the fire. It was not live yet. At first glance, it seemed that it was a copper stove for cooking.
There were piles of lime, charcoal, rosin and saltpeter in piles here and there, and there was a chemical smell.
Xue Poye walked around the tent and finally said: "Is this what you are tinkering with?"
Xiao Su Guang nodded, a little embarrassed: "Funny."
Xue Poye sat down on a small stone calmly, stared at the small Su stick, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to make elixirs?"
"Alchemy?" Xiao Su Gun laughed and said, "Brother Xue, if we talk about alchemy, I, Xiao Su Gu, have already refined it. What kind of elixir can't I refine at the time of Ten Thousand Immortals?"
"Then what are you...!" Xue Poye frowned and touched his nose.
Just as Xiao Su was about to speak, Gattuso had already said: "Brother Su, you... do you really want to say it?"
Xiao Su Guan sighed, sat down on the side, shook his head and said: "Crooster, you have been following me for so long, I know in my heart that I, Xiao Su Guan, owe you, because you didn't do a good business back then.
You were forced to be brought here by me, and you spent all your money to help me tinker with these things, but you still got no results. Now that I think about it, I really feel ashamed of you."
Gattuso said hurriedly: "Brother Su, you...you don't have to say that, the almighty God will bless us."
Xiao Su Guan smiled faintly and said: "Your God can't control my Dachu. Our Dachu is controlled by the Supreme Lord. Your God is not working. You don't say anything when you say something, but I know you."
I feel very painful. If it were just me, I would have given up on this matter long ago. It is precisely because I brought you in and caused you to go bankrupt. I feel guilty, so I persisted and wanted to come up with something to give you an explanation.
, but...hey, look at us now, we don’t have money, we really can’t do this anymore.”
Gattuso lowered his head, looking frustrated and did not speak.
Xue Poye stared at the copper furnace and asked slowly: "Then what exactly are you going to do? I said, if I am very interested, I can provide money."
Xiao Sugun was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally came over and whispered: "Brother Xue, this matter is a bit mysterious. I'm afraid you won't believe it after hearing it, but I think it's very possible, so I keep thinking about it.
Don’t be scared away after hearing this.”
Xue Poye laughed and said: "Don't worry, Xue has a lot of things to do and a lot of new things to see. Just tell me, I guarantee you will be as safe as a rock."
He comes from the future and has seen airplanes, artillery, tanks and submarines. There is nothing shocking in this era that would scare him.
Xiao Sugun collected his thoughts and finally said: "Brother Xue, I worked in Wanxian Temple a year ago and became a Taoist priest. At that time, I was refining alchemy in the alchemy furnace room of Wanxian Temple. I had nothing to do.
A year ago, the fire was burning in the alchemy furnace and I went to pee. I thought nothing would happen if I left for a while, but not long after, I heard a shocking roar. Do you know what happened?"
"What's going on?"
Xiao Sugun said in frustration: "The alchemy furnace room, the alchemy furnace room was blown open. The originally tight and solid alchemy furnace room fell apart in an instant, bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and even the small room next to it was blown away.
Fortunately, the location next to the alchemy furnace room is remote and not many people live there, so no one will be killed by the explosion. However, several Taoist brothers nearby were also injured by the explosion."
Xue Poye raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile.
Seeing that Xue Poye was very interested, Xiao Sugun continued: "For this matter, I was kicked out of Wanxian Temple. When I went out, I was given some silver to survive. I rented a house to live in at that time, but
I still remember what happened that night, and I was woken up from time to time. As time went by, I felt a little strange, how could the alchemy furnace suddenly explode when it was so good?"
"That's explosive!" Xue Poye couldn't help but said.
"Explosives?" Xiao Sugun asked curiously: "Brother Xue, does he know how it exploded? What is explosives?"
Xue Poye chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Nothing, just keep talking!"
Xiao Su Guang thought for a while and had no choice but to continue: "Then I thought that such a big alchemy furnace, so strong, but suddenly exploded, the power is really amazing, probably much more powerful than swords and guns."
"That's natural." Xue Poye nodded and said, "Swords and guns can't blow open the city wall."
"That's right." Xiao Sugun seemed to have found a close friend and said hurriedly: "Then I followed the recipe in Wanxian Temple and got a small alchemy furnace. I prepared all the alchemy items and put them in an open place with fire.
Refining and burning, try to see if it is caused by the formula of refining the elixir fire."
Xue Poye couldn't help but nodded. This little Su Gu was very clever. He actually figured out that the explosion was related to the formula. He was really a smart person.
"Then did you succeed?"
"I tried many times in the beginning and spent a lot of money, but nothing happened." Xiao Su Guan said frustratedly, and suddenly showed a hint of excitement: "Until that day, when I had given up, the small copper furnace finally exploded again.
, it was torn apart, and its power was astonishing. Fortunately, it was far away from the busy city, so it wouldn’t shock anyone. That was when Cock Cry encountered this scene and insisted on developing it with me. I had no money at that time and could not continue.
So I agreed to him."
Sergio Gattuso said with emotion: "Oh God, it's so amazing. It's a miracle, an amazing achievement."
Xue Poye pondered for a moment and finally said: "Xiao Su Guan, what is the use of that thing you developed? What can you think of using it for?"
Xiao Sugun immediately said: "Brother Xue, have you never seen the power at that time? It was earth-shattering. I have always thought that if it is really developed, I can use it to fight Beihu or other enemies in the future."
It can definitely blow up those beasts, and maybe it can also be used for other purposes. My mind is very messed up, but I think it must be very useful."
Of course it works!
Xue Poye sighed in his heart, Xiao Sugun had incredible insight and had already felt that explosives would bring huge benefits, but he never imagined that the emergence of explosives would change history and the era, and the cold weapon era would gradually begin.
Replaced by thermal weapons.
Of course, this is something that Xiao Sugun and Gattuso cannot think of now. Their ideological limitations make them only think that explosives can have great uses, but they can't say it for a while. They only know that they must be needed in war.
"As long as I really make it and give it to the generals, I will definitely get many, many rewards." Xiao Su Guan said with certainty: "This is a good thing, it must be a good thing."
"What about you?" Xue Poye asked Gattuso: "Why do you want to help Xiao Sugun?"
Gattuso hung his head in embarrassment, then raised his head after a while and said: "This is a miracle. If I can bring this technology back to Rome, I will be a hero. I will have a lot of gold coins and a lot of women, and
The king will knight me."
Xue Poye smiled and nodded, any understanding is always driven by interests.
"Xiao Su stick, you want to use this kind of thing to kill the enemy in battle, but have you ever thought that if this kind of thing explodes when heated like you do, then if you take it to the battlefield, will you have to dig a hole and light a fire?" Xue Poye said leisurely
Authentic: "How can the enemy be so easily fooled by such a large copper furnace? Even if he is fooled once, it will be difficult the second time."
Xiao Sugun thought for a long time before sighing: "If we really want to develop it, there will always be a way to solve it. But now I have only seen two explosions, so...hey, there is no money, so there is nothing to say."
Xue Poye smiled strangely and whispered: "I will provide you with the money, and I will also help you develop it successfully!"
"Really!" Xiao Sugun and Gattuso shouted at the same time, looking extremely excited.
Xue Poye nodded, stood up, walked to the copper stove, swept the materials on the floor, and sighed: "Baby, they are all treasures, they can be called master-level peerless treasures!" dd
