In a small workshop in Xie Feng's arsenal, a young man was swinging the hammer in his hand, hitting a red-hot iron piece on the stone slab.

This young man has fair skin, short brown hair that has been trimmed into pieces, but a bunch of long hair on the back of his head, which is tied into a small braid with a blue ribbon. His face is slightly longer, but he looks thin.

The young man who looked like he would be blown away by the strong wind at any moment, was able to hit the iron piece with the hammer in a steady and energetic manner. It was obvious that he was already very proficient in this skill, and he had acquired the secret strength of blacksmithing.

The young man stopped the hammer in his hand, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and complained: "Damn, they turned a blind eye to all the scientific knowledge in my head. Instead of placing me in the technical department, they threw me away.

Come hit the iron... Bah!" As he said that, the young man raised his iron mouth and swiped it horizontally at the piece of iron that had just been struck. With a "dang" sound, the piece of iron was swatted away and fell accurately to the side.

of a large water tank.

The hot iron entered the water, making a series of sizzling sounds, and at the same time a large amount of steam suddenly emerged from the water.

After the steam dissipated, Xie Feng's face hidden behind the steam was revealed.

Xie Feng smiled at the young man and said: "I think you are a good blacksmith. Arranging you to blacksmith is the best use of your resources."

The young man made a "cut" sound and said, "But I don't like blacksmithing."

Xie Feng asked a little depressed: "Then why don't you leave here?"

The young man sighed: "You think I don't want to leave? Not because of... Huh? Wait! Who are you!" The young man suddenly realized that there was a stranger standing next to him. After being frightened, he immediately took a step back.

, and at the same time grabbed the hammer and pointed it at Xie Feng.

Xie Feng scratched his head and said, "Ah? I thought you knew I came in."

The young man couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead again, and asked again: "Who are you? When did you come in? Why don't I know?"

Xie Feng pointed upward with an innocent look.

When the young man raised his head, he saw that the skylight that was only half-open had been completely opened at some point. The edge of the skylight was originally covered with thick dust, but now it was as bright as new. Apparently it was accidentally wiped by someone's clothes.

pass.

Xie Feng dusted himself off and said, "By the way, why did you say you didn't leave here just now? Did they illegally imprison you?"

"What a shame!" the young man roared, "You haven't said who you are yet!"

Xie Feng smiled and said: "I...I'm afraid I'll scare you if I say it..."

At this moment, there was a burst of chaotic voices outside the workshop: "I saw him nearby just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?" "He must be hiding somewhere again! We must find him out!" "

Hey, um, did you see a stranger running past in a panic just now?" "Stranger? No...what happened?" "A suspicious person appeared, probably to steal the secrets of the factory.

!" "Yeah! That's incredible. We must catch him quickly."

The young man listened silently to the conversation outside the workshop, then snorted coldly and said, "It really shocked me." As he said that, he glanced outside a few times, as if he was about to shout loudly.

Suddenly, a crossbow appeared in Xie Feng's hand. The sharp arrow on the crossbow was aimed at the young man's head, and he said with a smile: "Actually, I don't mind if you betray me. Really, if you don't believe me, give it a try."

As he spoke, his finger gently pressed on the trigger, and the iron and wood made a sizzling sound, which was very unpleasant.

Unexpectedly, the young man stared at the arrowhead on the crossbow very calmly, then looked into Xie Feng's eyes and said contemptuously: "Why?"

The voice outside the workshop sounded again: "Look! There are fresh footprints here!" "Hmm...this footprint looks like the person who is in a hurry." "Could it be the suspicious person?" "It's very possible...

…Chase!” Then, there was the sound of messy footsteps, and the sound became farther and farther away.

After making sure that everyone outside was gone, Xie Feng put down his crossbow and smiled at the young man: "It seems that you are not stupid either." At the same time, he thought to himself: Oh my god, this guy didn't report it... What if I really do

What should I do if he is a suspicious person? Should I fire him... But then again, any defenseless person facing this situation can only shut up to save his life... Should he be punished?

The young man said indifferently: "I don't have to do this - not only will it not do me any good, but it will cost me my life, right?"

Okay, I won’t punish you then, I wish you good luck, huh!

The young man suddenly asked: "Are you here to steal secrets?"

Xie Feng glanced at the young man and said, "Do you think I will tell you anything?"

The young man said: "I was thinking...if you really come to steal secrets, we can cooperate."

"Oh?" Xie Feng suddenly felt excited, and then asked: "What good will this do to you?"

The young man said: "To be honest... I also fell in love with the secrets of this factory."

Oh my god! It’s hard to guard against house thieves even if you have to guard against them day and night! I didn’t expect that there are guys like this in my factory who are picking on the inside and outside... Ah, no... guys who line their own pockets... Ah, that’s not right... What’s that idiom called?

Xie Feng frowned and asked: "So...you pretended to work here in order to steal the secrets here?"

The young man shook his head and said: "No, I did come here for the secret, but my motive was not to steal this secret. It was because I sincerely wanted to know this secret..."

"Gunpowder?" Xie Feng asked. If there is any secret in this factory worth coveting, it is the secret recipe of gunpowder that shocked the entire continent.

"Yes." The young man nodded and said: "I am eager to learn about gunpowder. Because I know that gunpowder can also exert greater power and effects. It's just that the person in charge of this factory has all kinds of people who have the secret recipe of gunpowder.

Craftsmen are only satisfied with the effects that gunpowder can produce now, and do not want to make progress. If I can master the method of making gunpowder, I will definitely be able to design and manufacture a 'Fire Dragon No. 4' that is more powerful than the 'Fire Dragon No. 3'.

'Fire Dragon No. 5'... can even allow gunpowder to play more roles besides 'destruction'!"

Listening to the young man's heroic words, Xie Feng couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Gunpowder is really attractive enough. Not only does it make spies from all over the world rush to steal the secret recipe, but it also attracts people with unlimited enthusiasm for science to try to figure out and study it.

. I remembered that when Xie Feng decided to let Ali study gunpowder, he encountered a lot of opposition - at that time, the Fire Dragon One and Fire Dragon Two ballistas were successfully developed, and the factory began to make profits. At this time, Wa

The villagers of Yezeji all thought that Xie Feng would use the profit money to rebuild the village. At that time, because of the opening of the factory, Yezeji, which had just experienced the war, was still in ruins and had no money to rebuild the village.

After the reconstruction, many villagers still lived in open-air houses. Seeing that Xie Feng's factory was making a profit, and Xie Feng had promised to help the village rebuild, the villagers were eagerly waiting for Xie Feng to use the money he earned to purchase wood.

He bought bricks and tiles, repaired the dilapidated houses, and reclaimed the abandoned farmland. What the villagers didn't expect was that Xie Feng used all the money to help Ali research gunpowder. At that time, the villagers almost rebelled against Xie Feng.

Feng had a falling out, and in the end it was Xie Feng who tried his best to calm them down, even using Christina's face.

After thinking about this, Xie Feng looked at the young man and said, "So, in order to fulfill your wish, you sneaked into the factory and prepared to steal the secret recipe of gunpowder?"

"No!" The young man immediately denied, "I didn't come to this factory to steal the secret recipe."

"Oh?" Xie Feng asked, "What's going on?"

The young man said: "My original intention of coming to this factory is to get in touch with the secret recipe of gunpowder in an open and honest manner. The secret recipe of gunpowder belongs to the 'Knight Against Heaven' Xie Feng and his original chief engineer Ali, there is no doubt about this.

Things that others have worked hard to develop should be respected. I also understand this basic principle. Therefore, I plan to work in this factory, rely on my talents and skills to get the attention of this factory, and then grant me the secret recipe of gunpowder.

The right to know, and then appointed me to study more functions of gunpowder, and even continue the research and development of the 'Fire Dragon' series of war machines... But what I didn't expect was that this factory only let me produce various 'Fire Dragon' series of war machines here for them.

Precision spare parts for machinery - because when I first applied for this factory, I told those so-called old craftsmen and senior engineers a lot of scientific knowledge that I knew, but they couldn't understand it at all. I couldn't help it.

I can only show them the talents that I can show on the spot. When they saw that I could build a chain in a very short period of time with only an iron blank and a hammer, they made the immediate decision to let me build these for them.

Fine parts..."

As he spoke, the young man sighed deeply, and then said: "Originally, I thought that as long as I was willing to work hard, someone would eventually discover my talent... As a result, no matter how hard I tried to promote more knowledge to everyone,

I have scientific opinions, but in this factory with no sense of innovation, no one takes what I say seriously. They all regard me as just bragging... No, there is one. The person in charge of this factory, Science

Rouleau. He seemed to be different from others. After learning that I often said these things to the workers in the factory, he specially met with me and asked me many related things. And he also said that my opinions and knowledge were very bold.

He Xinxin, after I stay in this factory for a while, will definitely promote me to a technical backbone... But when I asked if he could let me master the secret recipe of gunpowder in the future, he hesitated for a long time and said to me: 'I'm sorry.

, the secret recipe of gunpowder, even I dare not pry. The secret recipe of gunpowder belongs to Master Xie Feng and Ali alone, and the few old craftsmen who currently know the secret recipe of gunpowder are all Master Xie Feng.

When Ali and I were still alive, I personally recognized and granted him the title of confidant. Therefore, although I, as the director of the factory, have the right to pass this secret recipe on to others, in terms of responsibility, I must be loyal to Mr. Xie Feng.

With his permission, I cannot give his things to someone he doesn’t know at all.'"

Xie Feng touched the stubble on his chin and thought that Corullo was still real. Then he asked: "But, the people who master the secret recipe of gunpowder will eventually grow old and die. Where will the secret recipe of gunpowder go from here?

Did Lu Luo say how to solve it?"

The young man said: "I also asked the factory director about this. The factory director said: 'The secret recipe of gunpowder belongs to Mr. Xie Feng, and Mr. Xie Feng belongs to King Wilson. Therefore, if the secret recipe of gunpowder really comes out, it must be

If there is a new person to inherit the secret recipe, the successor of the secret recipe will be appointed by King Wilson. As the director of the factory, my responsibility is to manage this factory well and keep the secret recipe of gunpowder. I dare not overstep the rest.'"

Oh my god, Corullo is such a real person! I love you more and more, what should I do? Xie Feng shouted excitedly in his heart.

But on the surface, Xie Feng still asked seriously: "So, you are going to steal?"

The young man said: "To be honest, if I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have thought of stealing it. The secret you want to steal must also be the secret recipe of gunpowder? I don't dare to hinder you, but I think just in case

Are you successful? If you are successful, can you let me copy the secret recipe? But how can I convince you to let me copy it? So I thought of cooperation."

Xie Feng said coldly: "The secret recipe of gunpowder is very important. Aren't you worried that I will kill you after I deceive you into cooperating? After all, the more people who know the secret recipe of gunpowder, the less valuable the secret recipe will be."

"It's not necessary." The young man smiled and said: "I don't know which country you serve. But I think the person you serve will also know that 'the more people who master the secret recipe of gunpowder, the less valuable the secret recipe will be.'

Isn't he worried that you will peek at the secret recipe and then find a way to kill you? So, if you choose to cooperate with me, if your master has the intention to kill you, you can tell him that there is another

This guy has the secret recipe for gunpowder, and if he kills you, I will reveal the secret recipe to the world."

Xie Feng frowned and said, "What if I don't serve anyone?"

"Then I will serve you." The young man said: "Even if you get the secret recipe of gunpowder, you still need someone with rich scientific knowledge to use it. To put it bluntly, I think I am such a person. If

If you stole the secret recipe out of your own will, then I can help you make the most of it!"

Xie Feng sighed slightly and said: "Isn't it right to describe you as eating both inside and outside?"

"No." The young man shook his head and said: "I don't care who you are or which country you are from. What I care about is the gunpowder itself. I am passionate about it and I am fascinated by it. As for who controls it, it doesn't matter who controls it.
