Lord of the Desert

157 Handover
After half an hour of testing, Hong Fan was sweating slightly all over his body.

He has made great progress in strength, and his squat has suddenly increased from two thousand catties in the penetrating range to four thousand catties.

In the previous life, he could easily squat and lift a car.

The evaluation of speed has always been difficult-timekeeping is not easy in this day and age.

It's fine on sunny days, and the big families have sundials facing south vertically.

On rainy days when there is no sunshine, you can only rely on the Bell and Drum Tower to adjust the time.

But by chance, Hong Fan discovered that the Bell and Drum Tower did not rely on carved leaks (water clocks) as he imagined, but a serious pendulum clock.

After communicating with Wen Zhongguan, he realized that he had slightly underestimated the technical level of Qi Zuojian.

Although the calculus theory in this world has only been born more than ten years ago, the more primitive micro-element method at that time has already been widely used in instrumentation.

Combined with simple mechanical analysis and trigonometric functions, it is a matter of course to derive the expression of simple harmonic vibration.

Up to now, the isochronism of the pendulum and the pendulum theorem of T=2π*(l/g)^0.5 have been understood by both Wen Zhongguan and Qian Hong.

With the support of theory, coupled with the strengths of Dahua in material science and finishing, the pendulum clock came out seven or eight years ago, but it has not yet been popularized among the people.

Years later, when a few people from Zhongguan received a transfer order, Hong Fan had the audacity to ask them to help process and manufacture a small pendulum clock.

Powered by a mainspring, using a crude anchor escapement.

But this thing can really count time.

After repeated tests, Hong Fan got his current limit speed - 76 kilometers per hour.

Except for the alien species such as tiger-eating beasts, his speed has surpassed all war horses, and he exploded Fang Tianzong before he was alive.

After the basic physical examination, as usual, there are landing tests for some pre-research projects.

"The Dungeon V0.4".

As the name suggests, first make sand at a high speed under the feet through the life star, and then realize the pipeline-like high-speed movement below the surface through the liquid phase of the sand body.

However, the reality is not as good as imagined.

Limited by his cultivation, Hong Fan could only reach a moving speed of two meters per second.

In the fast-paced combat of Unran, this doesn't make tactical sense.

But it is still a life-saving means.

Just as Hong Fan was scrubbing his body and putting on his clothes again, there was a knock on the door outside Chaori Courtyard.

Knock three times in one round, neither fast nor slow, very regular.

As soon as you hear it, you know it's seeking virtue.

Hong Fan responded and opened the courtyard door, only to see three people standing outside the door.

In addition to seeking virtue, there are also Hong Li and Hong Sheng.

"Is this practicing?"

After a simple exchange of gifts, Hong Li asked.

He saw the dust on Hong Fan's shoes and the light sweat on his temples.

"Just finished the daily schedule."

Hong Fan replied.

"I came to see you today for something."

Hong Li smiled satisfied and beckoned him to come out.

"The city guard's mansion just sent someone to send a message, saying that the Li family's affairs probably have some clues."

The four of them walked towards the main entrance while talking.

"Your Uncle Wu is in the yamen, but it's a big matter, so a few more people need to go there."

Hong Li explained.

Hong Fan nodded and didn't ask why the patriarch didn't go.

Since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Hong Jian stayed in Xiongguangyuan every day, and resumed his previous state of seclusion.

As for what he was doing, Hong Fan could guess without asking.

Not long after, several people arrived at the gate.

The carriage had been prepared long ago and was waiting by the street.

Hong Fan and Hong Sheng stood beside the car and waited for the elders to get on the car first according to etiquette.

However, Hong Li remained where he was, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Uncle please first."

Seeing this, Hong Fan said.

Hong Li waved his hand, stroked his beard and smiled.

Seeing that the two young masters did not understand, Qiu De explained in a low voice: "Master Li is not going today."

Hong Fan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately realized the meaning of this matter.

This is to officially push him and Hong Sheng to the front of the Hong family.

Today's Hongfu Wai Lane is a bit deserted.

No audience, no gongs and drums.

But at this very moment, the Hong family is undergoing a partial transfer of power.

Apparently, in the Fantianshe incident that just passed, the previous generation of senior members of the family recognized the abilities of the Shengfan brothers and hoped to give them an extra burden.

[Now is a good time. 】

Hong Fan's thoughts turned, but when a gust of wind blew through the alley, he ran a full marathon in his mind.

[Considering that the patriarch has newly exposed his innate peak cultivation, even if the younger generation messes things up, it is relatively easy to expose the past...]

At this time, Hong Sheng finally realized what Hong Li meant.

In the past, as the heir apparent, he could attend most of the high-level meetings of the family, but he didn't have much decision-making power.

The long-awaited opportunity arrived, and Hong Sheng couldn't help feeling hot, but for some reason, he first glanced at the younger brother beside him.

Seeing that Hong Fan was distracted with a relaxed face, he had no choice but to speak up.

"Uncle, it's a big matter this time, it's best to let the elders take care of it."

He suppressed his emotions, cupped his hands and begged.

"Me and Er, uh, my experience is still inexperienced, I don't think well, I'm afraid there may be mistakes..."

Hong Li just waved his hands casually.

"The courtyard pillars are old, but they cannot be replaced. That's the only way to do it when it's out of date."

The old man smiled warmly.

"That is to say, my Hong family's fortune is at its peak, and the waves are higher than the waves, so that the hair can grow and the hair will be free."

"I'm old, and I have to deal with those troublemakers in the ethnology."

"So you guys go!"

Hearing what he said, Hong Sheng remained silent, his body still hesitating.

Seeing this, Hong Fan smiled.

"Brother, don't act like a little daughter!"

"The Li family is in decline, but my master of the Hong family has made great progress in cultivation."

"At this time, even if you broke the sky of Jinhai City, we have the ability to make up for it..."

He said and gave Hong Sheng a gentle push.

The latter blushed slightly, bowed deeply to Hong Li, and finally got into the carriage.

Then Hong Fan and Qiu De boarded the car one by one.

Hong Li watched the carriage leave the alley.

A quarter of an hour later, the city guard's mansion.

The guards leading the way are stationed at the gate of the courtyard.

After Hong Fan and the three thanked each other, they entered the inner room by themselves.

There were already seven people sitting in the room.

Sitting in the middle of the main seat is Zheng Zhun.

Beside them are Gongsun Shi, Hong Wu, Liao Zhenghao, Chi Zhuiyuan, Cui Jiayan, and Jin Hai Tongzhi Ren Yuanlong.

Several people were talking about something, when they saw the two juniors coming in, they all greeted them kindly, and their attitudes were a bit better than before.

Hong Fan knew that it was not only because of himself, but more because of Hong Jian.

After Li Heming's death, the latter was already the unique innate master in this city.

And it's still at its peak.

In the past 30 years, apart from Hong Jian, only one Jin Hai, Ma Jingsha, has achieved this cultivation level.

What's more, his advancement came from deducing Yanliu kung fu by himself.

This will raise the upper limit of the entire Hong family and have a profound impact on Jin Haicheng's future power structure.

"You two nephews, please sit down."

Zheng Zhun asked.

Hong Fan respectfully saw the ceremony, glanced at the remaining two outermost seats, and chose the one on the outer edge to sit down.

At this moment his arm was gently pulled.

"You sit inside."

Hong Sheng said in a low voice.

"You are brother."

Hong Fan was a little surprised.

"It's true that I'm an older brother in terms of age."

Hong Sheng replied.

"But you are more like an elder brother when you are in the world."

He laughed at himself with a self-deprecating demeanor.

So Hong Fan followed Hong Sheng's wishes and changed seats.
