Chapter 1339 Earth Dragon Turns Over?
After Bai Feng left the R&D center, Geng Zhuzi, Li Tiedan, Wang Gang and Xu Dali, the craftsmen, once again devoted themselves to the work of making steam trains.
It's just that they are now more motivated than before.
"I really want to see the people of Hanzhong riding the steam trains we made earlier!"
Li Tiedan, Wang Gang, Xu Dali and other craftsmen who participated in the manufacture of steam trains, now think about the people of Hanzhong and their families riding steam trains.
Before coming to the R&D center, none of these craftsmen could have imagined that they could create something that would affect the entire Hanzhong and Wei Dynasty with their own hands.
But from the steam engine to the steam train, under the leadership of Bai Feng, they have come step by step to today. Looking back suddenly, they found that they have reached a level that they could not even imagine.
Bai Feng, who has returned to the Hanzhong Marquis' Mansion, although he didn't know what he had just said, made Geng Zhuzi and others' work efficiency directly increase, and even improved their ideological realm.
But Bai Feng believed that as Geng Zhuzi and his men became more and more familiar with the manufacture of steam trains, the third steam train might only take one month to be manufactured.
Not long after, Xiahou Dun arrived at the gate of Hanzhong Marquis's mansion.
Bai Feng, who had learned that Xiahou Dun had come to his doorstep, went out to greet Xiahou Dun with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, General Xiahou, I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days!"
"Hahaha, I just like listening to Hanzhong Marquis talk, and I feel very comfortable!"
After the greetings, Bai Feng and Xiahou Dun came to the study together.
"I heard that the mines in Hanzhong are now using steam trains to transport ore. I was itching to come and take a look after I learned about it. Hanzhong Marquis, please don't mind, hahaha!"
After the servants brought tea and snacks and left, Xiahou Dun smiled and said to Bai Feng.
"Hahaha, General Xiahou wants to come and see the steam train anytime, and he will definitely not mind!"
Bai Feng also smiled and said to Xiahou Dun after hearing this.
"Then shall we go to the mine now?"
Xiahou Dun was already impatient.
Seeing that Xiahou Dun really wanted to see the steam train, Bai Feng stood up and said to Xiahou Dun:
"Okay, let's go to the mine now."
Then Bai Feng and Xiahou Dun took a carriage out of the city and headed for the mine.
After arriving at the mine, it happened to be the blasting operation today.
The soldiers responsible for patrolling around the mine had brought all the Hanzhong people who went up the mountain to chop firewood around the mine to the foot of the mountain.
These Hanzhong people who went up the mountain to chop firewood also cooperated with the patrol soldiers of the mine.
Some Hanzhong people who did not cooperate before, and even sneaked back to the mountain to continue chopping firewood, after experiencing a blasting operation in the mine, also went down the mountain obediently and waited for the blasting operation to end before going up the mountain to chop firewood.
The sound and vibration during the blasting operation left a fresh memory for these Hanzhong people who went up the mountain to chop firewood.
At this time, Xiahou Dun looked at the Hanzhong people at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help asking Bai Feng:
"Hanzhong Hou, why don't these soldiers let these people go up the mountain to chop firewood?"
Bai Feng smiled at Xiahou Dun and said:
"This is because the mine is going to carry out blasting operations. For the safety of the people who go into the mountain to chop firewood, they are asked to go down the mountain temporarily."
After listening to Bai Feng's explanation, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but be more confused.
Is the mine in Hanzhong so dangerous?
And what does this blasting operation mean?
After Bai Feng explained to Xiahou Dun, he remembered that Xiahou Dun didn't know that the mine in Hanzhong is already using explosives to mine.
So Bai Feng continued to say to Xiahou Dun, who was a little confused:
"Now the mine is using explosives to mine. As for the mining situation, General Xiahou will know later."
Bai Feng kept it a secret here, and Xiahou Dun became interested.
I will take a good look at the difference between mining in Hanzhong and other mines later.
A moment later, a loud noise erupted in the mine, followed by rising smoke and flying gravel.
Xiahou Dun felt the vibration under his feet and the loud noise in his ears, and his face turned pale.
"Is this a dragon turning over?"
Thinking it was an earthquake, Xiahou Dun hurriedly looked at Bai Feng beside him.
Bai Feng was looking at the direction of the mine calmly, without any panic on his face.
Even the patrol soldiers on the side and the Hanzhong people waiting to go up the mountain to continue chopping wood did not look panicked.
Only then did Xiahou Dun feel relieved and his face was relieved a lot.
"Is this what Hanzhong Hou said about using explosives to open a mine?"
At this time, Xiahou Dun no longer thought about the train.
What he wanted to know most now was why Bai Feng could make this earth-shaking explosive that was like a dragon turning over.
"Okay, General Xiahou, let's go up the mountain now!"
After the blasting operation was completely completed, Bai Feng said to Xiahou Dun beside him.
"Well, the power of this explosive is really huge! Just now I thought it was a dragon turning over!"
Xiahou Dun exclaimed to Bai Feng.
"Hahaha, General Xiahou Dun has extraordinary self-control. Before this, people who saw the blasting operation in the mine for the first time were all scared."
Bai Feng praised Xiahou Dun.
Xiahou Dun laughed dryly twice.
At first he was really scared. If Bai Feng and others were not around, he might have run a mile away.
Then the two walked towards the mountain.
After arriving at the mine, Xiahou Dun saw the ore all over the ground, and couldn't help but exclaimed to Bai Feng:
"Is this the blasting operation? All these ores were blown out after the loud noise just now?!"
"That's right."
"The blasting operation greatly reduces the time for miners to open the mine."
After hearing this, Bai Feng began to tell Xiahou Dun about the various benefits of using explosives to open the mine.
After Xiahou Dun heard this, a huge wave of emotion was stirred up in his heart. Although the expression on his face was still smiling, it was obvious that the smile was stiff.
"I didn't expect that Hanzhong Hou had mastered the way to use such great power. It really opened my eyes!"
Finally, Xiahou Dun exclaimed to Bai Feng again.
From beginning to end, Xiahou Dun never mentioned the train. He was already full of curiosity about the explosives that could explode with such power.
"Hahaha, General Xiahou, please come this way. We'll take the steam train down the mountain together."
Bai Feng then took Xiahou Dun to the steam train that was loading ore.
Originally, Bai Feng didn't want Xiahou Dun to know about the explosives, but this matter couldn't be kept secret for too long. Today happened to be the day for the mine's blasting operation.
Then let Xiahou Dun open his eyes!
