Become the city lord from today

The next day, in Xiyang City, Liu Feng and Mina had just finished breakfast and got on the carriage to the Scientific Research Department.

"Tap tap tap……"

Liu Feng and Mina's itinerary today is kept secret, because they are going to inspect the workshop where black powder is made.

Currently, there are only a handful of people who know about gunpowder, and Mina is one of them.

Although she knew about the existence of gunpowder, Mina didn't know its power and terrifying degree. Liu Feng didn't plan to expose this generation-changing product too early.

Simply put, Mina is also a sensible person and knows what to ask and what not to ask.

"Tap tap tap……"

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the scientific research department. After Liu Feng nodded to the saluting soldiers, he walked into the scientific research department and finally reached the deepest part of the scientific research department.

This is an open area with soldiers on the ground. There is only a small cement house in the middle of the open area. There are no other buildings around except a piece of lawn.

It used to be a big pit. Later, Liu Feng asked people to walk along it. Keep digging this hole.

Finally, the foundation was laid and an underground research room was built. After filling it with soil and planting grass on the ground, it was impossible to tell that there was a secret research room underground.

And this is the place where Liu Feng used to develop gunpowder. The surrounding area is wide enough. Firstly, it is for confidentiality. Secondly, it is because it is not easy for people to get close and lurk in.

On the ground, there are several teams of soldiers patrolling 24 hours a day, and there is no chance for anyone to get close to them in the open surroundings.

As soon as someone appears in this open land, they will be seen at one glance, and they will be directly surrounded by soldiers the next moment.

The entrance to this underground research room is the small cement room. Dozens of soldiers were guarding the surrounding area. The cement house had no windows, only a door made of fine steel, and a large lock. It would not be opened easily. Only those with Liu Feng's warrant could enter or leave.

Liu Feng brought Mina here, and the soldier guarding the door quickly saluted

"open the door"

"yes."The soldier responded respectfully, took out a key from his body, and opened the lock.

"Kaka……"

Then two more soldiers came forward and took out the keys. The three of them slowly opened the door together. This was for safety reasons, so the door was made several centimeters thick. It took three people's keys to open it. Gotta open.

Liu Feng calmly led Mina in. There were no rooms, only a staircase leading to the ground floor.

"Tap tap tap......"

Liu Feng took out the flashlight he had prepared in advance and walked underground, with only the sound of footsteps echoing.

The stairs are not deep, and soon they reach the end. There is a passage. Keep going forward, and another door will appear. There are four soldiers guarding it.

"Open the door. Liu Feng said in a deep voice.

"yes."The soldier responded, this door will be lighter, and the two opened it.

Behind the door are two rooms, one of which has a wooden sign hanging on it, saying"clothing room", and the other room is completely closed.

In that closed room There were four special forces guarding the door of the room, holding Tang knives with serious faces. After seeing Liu Feng arriving and saluting, they were still guarding the door.

Liu Feng nodded to the four and took Mina into the closed room. In the room, after entering the room, I saw eight researchers busy on the workbench.

They were all wearing linen clothes and were not allowed to bring anything related to iron into the research room. This was for safety reasons, and The objects and materials used in the entire research room are all wooden products.

"……"Mina looked at everything inside in amazement, wanting to ask something, but thinking of the seriousness she felt along the way, she suppressed her curiosity in the end.

The appearance of Liu Feng attracted the attention of these eight people, and they all put down their work, with smiles of respect and awe on their faces.

Liu Feng asked Mina to find these eight people. They were born or acquired mutes and could not read. This was what Liu Feng wanted, in order to prevent the secret of gunpowder from being leaked.

As for why they are so happy, it is because Liu Feng promised to take good care of their family, and their monthly salary here is two silver coins, which is also the reason why they are happy.

Of course, the price is that after the black powder comes out, they will not be able to leave the research laboratory for a long time.

Their future lives will be restricted by others. For example, build a courtyard in Xiyang City to let them live in it and avoid too much contact with the outside world.

They know this, but they don't care, because they value the salary of two silver coins per month. Two silver coins per month can make their families live well.

This is also the reason why they were selected by Liu Feng, because their families are poor and in urgent need of money. Before selecting them, they went through a long period of observation and testing. Facts have proved that they are suitable for this job.

"Thanks for your hard work."Liu Feng said with a slight smile.

The eight people immediately waved their hands to express that they were not working hard.

The food here is very good, and every meal has meat. This is also the benefit Liu Feng gave them, making them willing to stay here for he works

"How much gunpowder was produced?"Liu Feng inspected in front of their workbench.

There was a trace of embarrassment on the eight people's faces, and they quickly led Liu Feng to the corner, where there were two wooden boxes stacked, containing the recently produced gunpowder.

"Very good, keep developing it and be careful to abide by the discipline."After Liu Feng saw the black gunpowder, he nodded with satisfaction.

He was wondering whether to use part of it to build roads or mines.

Then Liu Feng looked at the technology developed by the eight people, nodded with satisfaction, and took Mina left the black powder manufacturing room, returned to the ground, and went to the next place to inspect
