It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

The secret report said that the action would take place in about seven days.

Lu Yuan had discussed with Jin Meijing about the time of action before.

Be sure to notify Lu Yuan before taking any action.

Then Lu Yuan would definitely lead his men to Shanhaiguan and wait.

He even had to lead a special forces team to provide support on the road between the imperial city and Shanhaiguan.

Sometimes, you may be just a hundred miles away from getting back, so you should go to pick them up if you can.

But this matter cannot be too obvious, nor can the special forces be sent directly to wait outside the imperial city.

After all, if you look at the bigger picture of this matter, it's leading troops into the country, which is a very serious crime.

Seven days later, Lu Yuan calculated the time and realized that he would lead the special forces team to Shanhaiguan almost the day after tomorrow.

Four days later, they arrived at Shanhaiguan, which was the seventh day, and Jin Meijing and her group took action.

Lu Yuan thought about it and decided that the time was almost enough, so he immediately responded with a secret report and agreed.

At this time, Li Qingluan on the side was a little nervous.

Not only was he worried about the safety of Kim Mi-jeong and her group, he was also naturally worried about his mother's safety.

There is only one chance for this kind of thing. If I fail this time, I am afraid that my mother will also suffer an accident.

Lu Yuan looked at Aunt Qingluan and said:

"Don't worry, the manors along the way are ready to pick you up.

Three days later, I will lead people there and bring our mother back."

Seeing such a confident Lu Yuan, Li Qingluan's nervousness eased a lot.

Singing to the little man in front of her, Li Qingluan couldn't help but hold Lu Yuan in her arms and said softly:

"Auntie believes you~"

……

Early morning three days later.

In a thin mist, Lu Yuan rode a carriage to Shanhaiguan.

And in the thick morning fog behind the carriage, followed team after team of special forces.

The special forces have changed a lot compared to before.

Not only are there changes in weapons, but also in clothing.

If we don’t tell people where this is, and let people on Earth come over and take a look.

I thought this was a unit from World War I or World War II.

During this period, Lu Yuan gave the special forces team a major makeover.

From the previous cotton coat to a leather jacket.

In addition, there are leather gloves, leather boots, helmets, and belts.

The style of this military uniform is basically the same as the modern military uniform on Earth.

Especially since everyone was carrying a marching backpack on their backs.

Taking a vague look in such thick morning fog, it really is not much different from the Earth.

Just saying something cool.

The outfit is very handsome.

But if people from Earth were to see this, they might find it a little funny.

To be precise, it is from the perspective of modern earthlings.

Because the people who followed were not riding horses or walking, but riding bicycles.

That’s right, during this period of time, the factory was able to produce bicycles.

However, the output is not very large, and it is currently just a small workshop.

We will equip the special forces first, and then when more and more people come to the factory, we will turn this small workshop into a large workshop.

Would it be unsuitable to produce something like bicycles here?

For example, if the road is bad, can we ride on it?
This kind of question is purely unnecessary.

In many people's impressions, this bicycle seems to be able to be ridden only on flat ground.

But that's not actually the case.

Bicycles were designed for military use when they were first designed.

Let’s not talk about the Western battlefield, let’s just talk about the Anti-Japanese War at that time.

This thing was the standard equipment for spies at the time. There was no problem riding this thing to go to the mountains and the countryside.

Not to mention the Anti-Japanese War, even in the 80s, the roads in the village were not much better than before.

At that time, even provincial roads were mostly paved with gravel.

Not to mention places like the countryside.

It can be said that as long as the terrain is not too rugged, there will be no problem riding a bicycle.

As for those places that are too rugged, horses cannot go up.

Of course, if we compare them all, and only consider the effects, the horse is definitely better.

But the question remains, where can you find so many horses now?
With the coming of spring, guilds have to cross the border to transport goods, so horses and other things must be used by the travelers first.

The Yanxiang Society only has a few hundred horses in total, and they certainly can’t all be given to the special forces.

So using bicycles as a substitute can almost be considered a replacement.

Saying that horses are more effective than bicycles is also based on considering their usefulness in combat.

But then again, Lu Yuan’s special forces are not cavalrymen who are going to charge on horseback.

So if we only look at speed, there's actually not much difference between a horse and a bicycle.

And the most important thing is that bicycles do not need to be maintained.

A bicycle is not like a horse, which needs to be fed with concentrated feed and cared for.

There is no comparison between the two.

The next step Lu Yuan plans to do is to expand the bicycle workshop after the factory expansion is completed.

By then, there will be not only bicycles, but also tricycles.

With tricycles and bicycles, the entire transportation cost outside the customs will be reduced a lot.

And in addition to costs, there is also an increase in capacity.

After all, if you want to raise a horse, it will take at least a few years for the horse to grow from a foal to being able to transport goods.

But what about bicycles and tricycles?

It takes less than half a day from the production workshop to the assembly workshop and then to shipment.

And in terms of the amount of goods being transported, basically three or four tricycles are equivalent to one horse.

Anyway, industrial things are definitely a dimensionality reduction attack on this kind of body.

In this team, besides bicycles, there is something else that attracts more attention.

That's the truck.

This truck doesn’t seem to be much different from the ones on Earth, but there is a large boiler in the back of the truck.

There was thick smoke billowing out.

Yes, this thing is a wood-burning car.

What is the principle of this thing?

It's basically the same thing as steam.

Simply put, it is an external combustion engine.

There was a steam turbine inside the truck, and the men in the bed burned wood to power the vehicle.

This type of car is rarely seen nowadays, but it was used in my country in the 1950s and 1960s.

Of course, our neighbors to the north are still using it.

Where did the steam turbine come from?

This is the first course Lu Yuan taught after the Industrial Department started.

So what is industry? Where is the starting point of industry?

Of course it’s the steam engine.

And since Lu Yuan is going to open this industrial department, he will definitely start by teaching from the steam engine.

That day, Lu Yuan wrote the principles and design drawings of the steam engine on the blackboard.

Of course, it was written, but the students couldn't understand it for a while.

But it doesn’t matter if they don’t understand, there is still practical operation.

This steam engine was made by hand by Lu Yuan and his students from the Department of Industrial Engineering in three days.

Since this thing is made by hand, it naturally needs to be used.

Originally, Lu Yuan planned to build a train.

But after thinking about it carefully, it might not be realistic to build a train now.

First of all, if we want to build trains, we must lay railways.

But the problem is that Lu Yuan has started so many big projects, and now he wants to build a railway. Then the money is really not enough.

Another thing is that the steam engine that Lu Yuan made by hand was not a very large steam engine, but a very small one, which was really not suitable for the whole train.

So Lu Yuan thought about it and decided to buy such a car.

This type of wood-burning car has many problems.

Although there are many of them, they are still much more powerful than cattle and horses when used in this world.

It just so happened that Lu Yuan was not going to Shanhaiguan this time.

Just open it and give it a try.

Isn’t Lu Yuan afraid of being targeted by others for all these things he has done?

Of course, there is no need to be afraid of this. After all, if you create it, it will definitely be seen by others.

These things will be mass-produced in the future, and they are not military secret weapons that need to be hidden.

Then the question arises, what if someone else learns it?
The steam engine is difficult for others to learn, but what about bicycles and tricycles?
This kind of thing is not difficult. You can find a few craftsmen to take it apart and look at it for a few days and they can figure it all out.

Lu Yuan didn't have any good solution to this problem. He could only say that if society wanted to progress, these things were inevitable.

It is definitely something that others need to learn, but there are also thresholds for others to learn.

The biggest hurdle here is probably the rubber of the wheels.

Whether it is a tricycle or the tires of Lu Yuan’s steam truck, it is difficult for people in this world to imitate.

After all, the world now doesn’t know what oil is, nor does it know that tires can be made from oil.

What's more, the tires Lu Yuan has now are not made of petroleum.

Lu Yuan used the secret recipe in "Alchemy", which was made from the waste residue of spirit stones and some other materials.

The secret recipe for making this tire is kept strictly confidential.

Lu Yuan doesn't want to look down on others, nor does he think that others are fools.

But as far as this tire is concerned, Lu Yuan feels that it would take at least ten years for others to understand this tire.

And if others really take ten years to figure it out.

By that time, the streets outside the Great Wall would probably be filled with cars.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was not afraid of the border troops or the imperial court. They would learn their skills and then use them against him.

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan didn't know when it started, but he found that he had already set up the imperial court as an imaginary enemy...

Anyway, this is what happened in the past half month.

Apart from his own development, there is still the imperial envoy named Lin.

Logically speaking, since the last incident, the Yanxiang Society and the Imperial Envoy have been completely at odds with each other.

The imperial envoy should be trying every possible way to target the Yanxiang Society.

But the actual situation was that the imperial envoy did not take any action.

Perhaps he thought that Yanxiang Society was too powerful outside the Great Wall. If he wanted to cause trouble, he had to find something big that Yanxiang Society would do to cause trouble.

Otherwise, if it is a trivial matter, it will have no effect at all.

As for the big things.

Have.

There must be some.

During the fifteen years that the Yanxiang Guild had been outside the Great Wall, they had been fighting openly and covertly with other guilds, and there had been countless dirty deeds done between them.

But then again, those dirty deeds were also well hidden.

After all, if the flower was not hidden well, it would have been caught by other top guilds long ago.

So, yes, there is, but the imperial envoy certainly can’t find it.

The top guilds that had been fighting openly and secretly with the Yanxiang Guild for fifteen years couldn’t catch them. How could a outsider like him catch them in such a short time?
That's just nonsense.

However, even so, it cannot be said that Yanxiang Club is safe and there is nothing to be afraid of.

After all, compared to other top guilds, this guy named Lin is, after all, an imperial envoy.

His power is enormous.

This is what it means that since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials.

This Lin guy must be planning something bad, but I have to wonder what he is doing and what he is planning.

Lu Yuan didn’t know this.

Jin Meijing and the others had all left, and there was no one to help Lu Yuan investigate.

What's more, Lu Yuan has been extremely busy recently and has no time to take care of this imperial envoy.

Anyway, instead of waiting for him to come and harm you, it is better to improve yourself quickly.

When he really wants to do something to me, I won't be afraid.

……

In the carriage were Lu Yuan and Aunt Qiaoer.

Aunt Qingluan didn't come. After all, there has to be someone to look after the house.

If all of them come, that definitely won’t work.

In fact, there is no need to come. Even Aunt Qiaoer doesn’t need to come.

Lu Yuan was going to Shanhaiguan to command and coordinate, so he could get the latest news.

It doesn't mean to lead people to fight or anything like that.

There's nothing dangerous about this.

However, no matter how Lu Yuan tried to persuade them, the two daughters-in-law at home just wouldn't agree, and they ended up bringing one of them out anyway.

Lu Yuan was looking at the map in the carriage.

In the secret report three days ago, there was not only a letter saying that Jin Meijing and others were going to take action.

There is also a map.

This map shows several routes from the Imperial City to Shanhaiguan.

When the operation is successful and we run back, there will be various emergencies and we definitely won’t be able to return via a fixed route.

Maybe come back from this way, maybe come back from that way.

They even acted separately, some people went from here, and some people went from there.

What Lu Yuan needs to do is to place support personnel on these roads and be ready to dispatch them at any time.

After watching for a while, Lu Yuan lifted the car curtain, then looked back and said loudly:
"Wang Changsheng!"

After Lu Yuan finished shouting, someone immediately said loudly and clearly:

"To!"

Then the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a man riding a horse came to Lu Yuan's window.

This is the captain of the first brigade.

Although Lu Yuan just mentioned the many advantages of bicycles, he also made it clear that bicycles are not much different from horses.

However, there is still a very obvious gap between the two.

That is, riding a bicycle is not majestic, it always feels weird.

Therefore, the captains and deputy captains of these five brigades all rode horses.

"Go and lay out the road I drew the red line on.

If you still haven't seen our people by the early morning of the 16th, go straight to the black line to look for them."

Lu Yuan handed a map in his hand to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng took the map and said loudly:

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Wang Changsheng rode on his horse, looked back and shouted loudly:
"Team One, follow me!!"

Lu Yuan held another map in his hand and said loudly:
"Yu Rong!"

The captain of the second brigade rode over immediately.

noon.

Lu Yuan had already arranged the five special operations brigades and they were marching towards their destination at a very fast speed.

Only Lu Yuan's carriage and dozens of followers were left, slowly heading towards Shanhaiguan.

"It's noon, there's a town ahead, shall we stop and eat something?"

Aunt Qiaoer hugged Lu Yuan and asked softly.

Lu Yuan, who was lying in Aunt Qiao'er's arms, said without even raising his eyelids:

"What else do you want to eat? You're feeding me like a pig, giving me a biscuit and a snack.

If I don’t eat, you won’t be happy. I’ve already eaten too much.”

Listening to Lu Yuan's words, Aunt Qiaoer chuckled and said:
"Yeah~
You little thing are picking on my aunt~"

As the two were talking, the carriage suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

Before Lu Yuan and Aunt Qiao'er could say anything in the car, a loud shout came from outside:

"In compliance with the general's order, please invite Yanxiang to meet Lu Yuan and the Third Lady!" (End of this chapter)
