My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 274: Men's Romance +1
When Xu Nian saw the Long Yu Tian Ji Furnace, his eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed over like a fly. Then he hugged it in his arms, looked at it again and again, touched it again and again, and when he looked at the two gold-inlaid words "Xu Nian" engraved on the base, his eyes lit up even more.

"Sure enough, all the waiting is worth it, Lao Li, from now on, you are my adoptive father!"

Seeing Xu Nian's flattering look, Li Han suddenly got goose bumps all over his body, "Don't come here, fat guy, my last name is not Dong and your last name is not Lu either."

Xu Nian said, "Old Li, how can I be a two-faced person like Lu Bu? I am loyal to you!"

Li Momo raised his head proudly, looked at Xu Nian with some contempt and said, "Fatty, look at your desperate expression. You just told me that we should teach Li Han a lesson together, but I didn't expect that you could be bought off by a stove!"

"Big sister, you don't understand. This is not an ordinary stove. This is a miniature steam engine!"

Xu Nian held the Long Yu Tian Ji Furnace in his arms and was reluctant to let go. He touched and kissed the furnace as if he was holding his own wife. Li Han felt sick to his stomach just by looking at him.

Li Momo glared at Xu Nian, then said to Li Han: "I won't be bribed by you so easily!"

Li Han nodded without comment. Li Momo rolled his eyes at him, then walked to another Long Yu Tian Ji furnace and looked at it.

"Well, the workmanship is pretty good. The bearings, flywheel, pressure cooker and everything else are in good condition. The base is made of gold, so I think you have some sincerity."

Seeing that Li Momo was still being stubborn, Li Han just smiled and said nothing. Suddenly, Li Momo was stunned. She saw her name carved on the base.

A blush instantly crept up her cheeks. She bit her lips lightly, and her heart began to beat fast.

Was this specially customized by Li Han for himself?

Could it be that he disappeared for so many days just to customize this exquisite work of art for himself?

Although Xu Nian also had it, but in Li Momo's mind at this moment, this exquisite stove was made by Li Han specifically for him.

Was he implying that the relationship between him and himself was like this steam furnace, burning fiercely and heating up?
When she thought of this, Li Momo's face turned even redder.

At this moment, Li Han was a little confused. It was just a model of a steam engine. Why was he blushing? Was he so energetic?
Xu Nian also noticed Li Momo's abnormality and asked jokingly, "Li Momo, why is your face so red?"

Li Momo seemed to be awakened, and then rolled his eyes at Xu Nian, "What do you care!"

Looking at the two people bickering again, Li Han suddenly thought, if they knew that they were already friends in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, he wondered what kind of shocked expressions they would show.

It's quite interesting to think about.

But then again, Xu Nian and Li Momo also made outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that the design drawings of firearms such as the needle-fire rifle and the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle were all completed by Xu Nian, a military geek. Just the contribution of the design drawings of the steam locomotive and the railway is enough to make him famous in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

As for Li Momo, without her financial support and high-quality customers, he would not be able to provide Lao Zhu with a steady supply of modern equipment.

"By the way, Lao Xu, can you build a Gatling gun?" Li Han asked.

"Old Li, you are going crazy!" Xu Nian was immediately annoyed when he heard it, "I can make one, if you dare, it costs 1130 million rounds, my mentor participated in the research and development, do you want me to make one for you?"

"Fatty, you just said you were loyal to Li Han, how come you changed your face so quickly!" Li Momo lost no time to strike Xu Nian.

"No, big sister, do you know what a Gatling gun is? It's a multi-barreled machine gun that can fire at least 1000 rounds per minute. Anyone who dares to touch this thing will be sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least!"

Xu Nian was really anxious. The needle-fired gun was easy to deal with. He could just make it as a handicraft. The structure of the Type 1130 semi-automatic gun had long been declassified. It did not involve manufacturing real guns and was not illegal. But this multi-barrel rotary machine gun had many designs kept secret. For example, the million rounds of cannons equipped on frigates and destroyers were even more top secret. Whoever dared to leak this thing would be really risking his life!
Xu Nian looked Li Han up and down. Suddenly, he thought about why Li Han had obtained so many precious handicrafts. Could it be...

Once this thought was let loose, Xu Nian's thoughts immediately wandered to all sorts of places and he couldn't control them at all.

He always gets things that others have never seen in their lives, and he often inquires about the secrets of gun manufacturing. It's really terrifying when you think about it!

He said to Li Han earnestly: "Old Li, we are brothers for life, tell me the truth, have you been bribed by netizens from northern China?
It's okay, Lao Li. I'll help you call 12339. As long as you truthfully explain your problems, it will be considered as surrendering yourself, and you can be given a lighter sentence. If you can help the relevant departments catch spies, it will be considered a meritorious service!"

"What are you talking about, Fatty!" Li Momo was immediately furious. "How could Li Han be bribed? He is just a small boss of an antique shop. Don't talk nonsense!"

"But, but Old Li has so many precious items and we can't explain where they came from, and..." Xu Nian bit his lip and looked at Li Momo with sincerity in his eyes.

"Besides, Lao Li often asks me about gun news, and I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid your uncle is fat."

Before Li Momo could speak, Li Han said unhappily, "You really think I'm a walking 500,000!"

"That's right, Fatty, you still think Li Han is your brother, but I think you don't understand him at all." Li Momo also echoed.

"Am I wrong?" Seeing that Li Han was really angry, Xu Nian shuddered and asked cautiously.

"You shouldn't even think about it!" Li Han didn't show any good looks to Xu Nian. "What I want is the most original Gatling gun, the one designed by Richard Jordan Gatling in 1861!"

In fact, after the successful production of the Ming Dynasty 56 semi-automatic rifle, Li Han began to think about automatic weapons.

Although semi-automatic rifles can currently meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty, no one would mind having stronger firepower.

After considering for a long time, he believed that the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun was the most suitable one, because it was much simpler than the 56-and-a-half in terms of manufacturing process, and it would not be a problem to achieve mass production in Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, with a firing rate of over two hundred rounds per minute, it can definitely destroy the enemy's morale in an instant.

Who can resist a weapon that is simple to manufacture, can be mass-equipped, easy to transport and maintain, and has fierce firepower?
Compared to pulling a bolt, Gatling is the romance of men!

But this fat guy Xu Nian actually thought of himself as a spy!

"Old Li, you should have told me about that antique Gatling gun earlier. It scared my heart so much that it was beating so fast!"

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and held his heart, as if he had received a great shock.

"That's easy. I can get you the design quickly!"

At this moment, Li Momo suddenly said something shocking: "Li Han, do you want a 1861 model Gatling? Although I don't have one, but is the 1877 model okay?"

"what!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Han and Xu Nian were shocked and looked at Li Momo in disbelief, as if they were looking at an alien.
