"Why is it said that the success rate is only 30%? There are two most important influencing factors."
Yi Xiaotian stretched out two fingers again and said to Sun Quan:
"The first is time; the second is raw materials."
"Hmm... time, I generally understand... but what exactly is this raw material?
If necessary, I can mobilize the army to search for you..."
Sun Quan nodded with half-understanding, and in a blink of an eye he caught the part of Yi Xiaotian's words that puzzled him the most.
Raw materials... Speaking of which, Sun Quan still doesn't have the slightest idea of how the bomb is made.
Like a chariot, like a bomb, or maybe the Moon-Chasing Crossbow that he had heard appeared in the Battle of Xiangyang before...
Yi Xiaotian is very protective of their production process.
Of course, Sun Quan didn't really want to steal his master, but from his perspective, the things Yi Xiaotian led his people to create were no different from those legendary magical arts——
"Don't worry about the raw materials. I have already arranged for someone to investigate the situation. If things go well, there will be results later."
"In fact, the most important thing is time..."
"..."
Yi Xiaotian's words made Sun Quan fall into deep thought.
time…
Not just the time they were in a stalemate with Liu Bei and others, but also...
"General Sun, you may not know something. Just two days ago... the people I sent out have investigated the situation in Xiakou - and sure enough, Xiakou has been flooded."
"ah?
Is it that exaggerated?”
Hearing what Yi Xiaotian said, Sun Quan exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiakou is a medium-sized city after all. Has the entire city been flooded?"
Yi Xiaotian shook his head and told an even more terrifying fact.
"Not only...I heard that the flood was so fierce that it directly destroyed the west wall of Xiakou City. Everywhere it went was eroded by the flood. Now the flood has not receded, and the surrounding farms have disappeared."
"After all, it is the downstream. The Han River flows into the river from Yunmengze. In addition, there are many waterways in the Yunmengze area. Under continuous heavy rains, the gathered water is concentrated downstream, easily turning the Xiakou area into a
The ocean is vast.”
Upon hearing this fact, Sun Quan was stunned at first, and then made the same sigh as everyone at the previous meeting.
"That…"
"What about Guan Yu?
There is no news that Guan Yu is stationed in Xiakou...then were they affected by the flood?"
Sun Quan's tone was a little anxious, as if he wanted to know the answer, but unfortunately...
Yi Xiaotian stated in as calm a tone as possible:
"That's what I'm saying...we may not have time."
"Because there is no news from Xiakou about the disaster of Guan Yu's army - similarly, there is other news from Wuchang... It is said that Mi Fang's army stationed in Wuchang not long ago was supported by tens of thousands of troops.
, If nothing unexpected happens, within a few days, they will gather their forces and rush to rescue Liu Bei in Wancheng."
"this……"
This is not good news.
Sun Quan wanted to say this, but the words were on his lips, but it was difficult to say them out.
How could he easily express such a despairing fact at this time?
Yi Xiaotian looked at Sun Quan, who was already numb, and said to him in a calm tone:
"Now, we can completely assume that Cao Ren's reinforcements will not come... The victory or defeat between him and Guan Yu will not affect our results for the time being, just because... the opponent's reinforcements are already on the way, with as many as five
Days, at least three days..."
Yi Xiaotian made this inference based on the environment of Jiangxia at this time - there are many rivers in Jiangxia. Floods are not just a hazard that occurs in one river basin. When a flood disaster breaks out in a water area, its upstream and downstream
Basically, they will be affected to a certain extent, just like the rainy weather they are facing now.
As the road becomes muddy and the river floods, perhaps the opponent's support will be slightly delayed, but this is not completely good news. After all, they lost the opportunity to breach the Wancheng gate due to the influence of rainy weather.
"Then...then in this time, can you make that waterproof bomb?"
After hearing so much, Sun Quan became a little tired.
Only now did he understand why Yi Xiaotian didn't finish everything at the meeting, because if such a series of disastrous and bad news were revealed, their military morale would probably collapse today.
Not everyone can be as determined as Yi Xiaotian... and not everyone can be as able to withstand failure as Sun Quan.
So Yi Xiaotian chose to tell him... Thinking about it this way, it turned out that Yi Xiaotian was not indecisive, he just made the most appropriate decision at the moment.
Thirty percent... Good guy, this is the situation, and there is still a 30% chance of winning. Sun Quan suddenly felt that with Yi Xiaotian's words, the situation was not so desperate?
Of course, this can only be regarded as joy in hardship, and it really depends on Yi Xiaotian’s specific plan——
"Three days... is a bit difficult, so I said that the 30% chance of winning is our lower limit. If the time can be adjusted to five days, the chance of winning will be 70%, but it all depends on other people's faces."
"Then...the raw materials..."
Sun Quan couldn't wait. He suddenly realized that time was tight, and couldn't help but want to help... The sooner it could be... There seemed to be no raw materials, so how could we start making it?
"Don't worry...if it's not what I expected, it should be there."
Yi Xiaotian seemed to have more control over the raw materials than time, which puzzled Sun Quan.
But Yi Xiaotian knows it clearly——
Even if history really changed because of his appearance, and the celestial phenomena changed, he would not be unable to understand it... But from ancient times to the present, the land where the Chinese nation grew up has never changed, which means that some
Things, whether he comes or not, will not go wrong.
for example…
"Sir! Found it!"
A somewhat eerie voice suddenly appeared in the room, causing Sun Quan beside him to jump in fright.
"Ah! Who is it?"
He was really frightened.
There were so many people guarding the door, but he never remembered anyone coming in. It was clear that there were only two of them in the room... Then this voice was...
Jumping up, Sun Quan jumped far away. When he came back to his senses, he saw clearly the man in black standing next to Yi Xiaotian...
The other party was wet all over, but even so, he was still shrouded in a black outfit. It looked like... he should be those mysterious people who directly belong to Yi Xiaotian...
Yi Xiaotian smiled and ignored Sun Quan. He was now more concerned about whether the "found" the Jackal Guard said was the raw material he needed.
He winked at the other party, and the Jackal Guard immediately took out a cloth bag from his arms - even though he was soaked, the bag was clean and not stained by water. This is what the Jackal Guard does.
Ability, but it also illustrates another thing that Yi Xiaotian is more concerned about.
Do it——
Yi Xiaotian immediately took the cloth bag and untied it.
Immediately afterwards... Yi Xiaotian put his hand in, and under Sun Quan's puzzled eyes, he pulled out a strangely shaped stone that looked like layers of stone flakes stacked one on top of the other.
