behind me is the earth.

Chapter 151 149. Chief Engineer's Laboratory
"It's right there at Yunguifang. Don't reveal my identity after meeting her, and don't reveal the advanced knowledge I gave you. In front of her, I am the shopkeeper of Qixing Commercial Bank."

Ren Pingsheng stretched his legs, ate the watermelon and said, "Now Yinshan County is fighting like a raging fire, and the flames of war may come to us at any time. It has been almost two months, and the Bureau of Control has not been able to produce smokeless gunpowder. , This visit to this expert is to solve the problem of smokeless gunpowder."

What the boss said made Liu Wen feel ashamed.

From his point of view, it's almost like pointing his nose at him and scolding him for being a dead man.

However, he instinctively didn't believe in this expert that his boss talked about.

He and a group of talents from Zaozao Bureau have been researching on the formula for something that has not been researched in the past two months. What kind of expert can easily solve it?
If it was such a simple thing, how could it be difficult for them for so long?

Those things in the formula, they have tried countless times, and some of them can't be synthesized under the existing conditions!
That expert can do it?

The sweet watermelon Liu Wen had eaten was tasteless, and his mind was in a mess all the way, thinking about things non-stop.

Until the carriage stopped at the gate of an ordinary courtyard in Yunguifang.

Several people got out of the car one by one.

"Sledgehammer, you just need to bring someone to guard the door."

Ren Pingsheng spoke to Chen Dachui, then went to the door and knocked on the door: "Dangdangdang~"

"who is it?"

A rough and hoarse voice from inside startled Ren Pingsheng.

Xiaowan covered her mouth, almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and explained: "It's Aunt Zhao, the helper hired by Ruan Tang."

Then he shouted behind the door: "It's me."

"It's Sister Xiaowan!"

Ruan Tang's voice came from inside, the voice was gentle and somewhat heroic.

The door latch was opened, and as the heavy wooden door was pushed open, it touched the copper bell hanging from the lintel, making a crisp "ding dong" sound.

A woman wearing a brown leather apron appeared in Ren Pingsheng's eyes.

Her long hair was tied into a loose ponytail at the back of her head, and she was wearing loose work clothes. I don't know if she cut it herself. It was more like the kind worn by workshop workers on the earth, but it couldn't hide her domineering figure.There are some scratches on the surface of the brown leather apron on his body. I don't know if it was scratched when cutting the glass.

But even so, the work clothes and apron were worn on her body, and she actually wore them with a sense of beauty, giving people a beautiful and rustic visual enjoyment.

"Mr. Ren, you are here too."

Ruan Tang gathered a strand of hair that fell in front of her eyes behind her ears, and opened the door wide with a smile to let people outside come in.

"Miss Ruan is really amazing. In just two months, she made such exquisite glass and opened up the market."

Ren Pingsheng walked into the yard, looked at the orderly arrangement in the yard, and praised it.

"I haven't thanked Mr. Ren yet."

Ruan Tang led Ren Pingsheng and the others under the eaves, and asked Aunt Zhao to come in and bring out a few clean white porcelain cups, and served tea.

"How can I thank you?"

Ren Pingsheng picked up the teacup and blew on the froth on it.

This tea is much worse than the ones at home. It smells mellow and mellow, but it is slightly bitter in the mouth, and the aftertaste is short and weak after swallowing.

"If it weren't for Mr. Ren, my glass business wouldn't be so easy."

Ruan Tang said: "When the glass was first bought and sold, there were a few people with wrong attitudes, but after that, I have never seen these people.

I don't know many people here in Qingcheng Town, and those I know are those who are able to help me. Except for Mr. Ren, I can't think of another person. "

"That's right, Xiao Wan said you are very careful, I think she is right."

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

In fact, what Ruan Tang said was conservative.Around this small courtyard, there are at least 30 eyes and ears, who watch the place day and night. Even the neighbors, the food stall she often goes to, Baiqiao Pavilion, several blacksmith shops, those businessmen, and Aunt Zhao, all without exception Received a warning from Ren Pingsheng.

To put it mildly, Ruan Tang is already living in the Truman world that Ren Pingsheng intertwined for her.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ren Pingsheng looked around his surroundings.

The rooms in the yard have been replaced with glass, which looks no different from the glass on the earth, transparent and bright.

The slight flaw is that the top of the glass is not so smooth, and occasionally there will be bumps and bubbles caused by solidification, but these will not affect the lighting of the glass.

Near the eaves, a workbench the size of a ping-pong table also caught Ren Pingsheng's attention. There were many tools on it that he couldn't name, but they looked familiar and professional.

On the ground next to the workbench, there was also a large bundle of copper wire.

What is this for?

"Ok?"

When Ren Pingsheng turned his gaze over the workbench again, several parts on it suddenly caught his attention.

Sockets, springs, grips, clips... If assembled together, isn't it just a small biubiu!
Although the parts have not been polished and look rough, it does not prevent this thing from being a handgun.

His eyes were staring like copper bells, and he couldn't help but glance at Ruan Tang, just when he saw her smiling like a flower talking to Xiao Wan, her long eyelashes fluttered, and when she blinked, those big eyes looked gentle Extremely!
"Ruan Tangni looks thick and big-eyed, gentle and gentle, so she is not honest!"

Ren Pingsheng suppressed the evaluation in his heart for the time being.

He looked again at the wall under the eaves, where there was a beautifully carved wall clock with a pointer pointing to three o'clock.

"Dang~dang~dang!"

Exactly three times in a row.

The clock strikes the time!
This actually startled Liu Wen who was thinking about who the expert was. He heard the sound and looked around. He was relieved when he saw the clock hanging on the wall, and asked, "Did you make this clock yourself?"

"Correct."

Ruan Tang nodded towards Liu Wen.

"This is Liu Wen, who is also from our Qixing Commercial Firm."

Ren Pingsheng introduced it to her.

"I'm Ruan Tang, hello Mr. Liu."

Ruan Tang nodded at him.

Liu Wen stood up, cupped his hands, and asked again for confirmation: "You made the wall clock?"

"Correct!"

Ruan Tang nodded again.

This time, Liu Wen knew who the expert was.

He has also studied clocks and watches. The most difficult thing to manufacture is the movement. There are countless gears and small parts in it. The manufacturing process is extremely troublesome. When assembling, they need to be fully engaged and balanced. , tightness, any small part size, wrong sawtooth will not work.

It is not an exaggeration to call a craftsman who can make watches a master.

However, this expert turned out to be a beautiful woman, which was beyond his expectation.Moreover, even if she could make clocks, would she be able to make smokeless gunpowder?
Not necessarily?This is not a type of thing.

"I heard from Xiaowan before that you have a pair of skillful hands. It's amazing to see your dazzling small courtyard!"

Ren Pingsheng spoke, interrupting her chat with Xiaowan.

"Mr. is rude."

"It's all from the bottom of my heart, so there's nothing wrong with it."

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, and gradually brought the topic to his own purpose: "Miss Ruan, to be honest, we are here to ask for something."

"But it doesn't matter."

Ruan Tang's eyes lit up.

After she came to this world, she had inherited Ren Pingsheng's great favor from the very beginning, and it was difficult to repay her life-saving grace except for her body.

Moreover, the other party also cleared the commercial obstacles for him, which made him owe more and more favors.

In the past, Ruan Tang thought he was greedy for his body.

Now I find that the other party has other things to ask for.If she can solve the problem for the other party and pay back some favors, then for her, she can relax a lot when facing the other party.

"Liu Wen, tell me."

Ren Pingsheng motioned for Liu Wen to come.

"Miss Ruan, it's like this."

Liu Wen gestured with a long spear in his hand, and while thinking about the words of his boss' warning, he asked, "In our firm, we want to increase the power of the firecracker, but we find that the current gunpowder limits the power of the firecracker. Power, we want to configure more powerful gunpowder, but we have not been able to find a suitable direction, and we have tried many times without success.

I wonder if Miss Ruan can give some ideas? "

Ruan Tang heard this and looked at Ren Pingsheng in surprise.

Surprised that a businessman on the other side is actually engaged in firecrackers and gunpowder.

I am also surprised that this Qixing Trading Company does not look so simple, no wonder there is such a big influence.

It is not known for whom the firearms were supplied.

"This Ren Pingsheng looks a little dangerous. A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. After paying back the favor, if there is a chance in the future, you should keep a little distance from him, otherwise you will be drawn into danger at some point. gone."

Ruan Tang thought secretly.

She felt that she had traveled to another world, this world was still so dangerous, and now it was a time of war, she had to find a way to survive.

"You are using black powder now, and black powder itself does have some problems. The most important thing is that it is unstable. It is easy to explode when stored, and it is easy to explode the chamber when used. It is not powerful when used as a propellant, and it is easy to corrode the chamber... ··”

Ruan Tang looked up and saw Liu Wen's expectant eyes with some doubts.

She often saw this kind of look five years ago, it was the expectation of her profession, because of her doubts about her age.

"You come with me."

She stood up and led the three of Ren Pingsheng towards a room on the west side.

As soon as he entered the room, Ren Pingsheng was stunned.

The room was painted white, and the floor and table were clean and spotless.

And on the tables, crucibles, beakers, test tubes, alcohol lamps and other experimental equipment were all placed here in a grand manner.

I thought she was already awesome at making glass, but I didn't expect that she was even more awesome than expected, and even made high-temperature-resistant glass!

Moreover, Ruan Tang was not ambiguous at all about these experimental instruments. Looking at each one, they were all high-quality goods.

Hands-on ability is terrifying.
