Chapter 205 Turnaround
Their breaths blended together, filling the quiet space with an incomparable warmth.
Just as this intimacy was about to reach a new height, an anxious yet resolute voice suddenly rang out from outside the tent door: "Master, Wu Le requests an audience!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the thick atmosphere of affection surrounding the two of them was instantly broken.
"Haha~" After hearing the visitor's words, Su Yuan laughed even louder, and at the same time looked at the man next to her who seemed a little embarrassed because of being accidentally interrupted.
"Heng, go ahead! Maybe there's something important waiting to be dealt with."
As she said this, she gently patted the other person's strong chest a few times, suggesting that he open his arms and give her freedom.
However, what she didn't expect was that Xiao Yanheng not only didn't leave immediately, but his eyes flashed with a subtle seriousness and determination.
Seeing such a reaction, Su Yuan, who was originally relaxed and happy, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Ah Heng! You..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yanheng lowered his head and kissed her lips.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. He savored the taste that was unique to her and was deeply intoxicated by it.
Although he knew that Wu Le must have come here specially to bring very important news, for Xiao Yanheng in his current state, nothing was more worth cherishing than the present.
Soon, realizing that it was not appropriate to delay any further, Xiao Yanheng released the hug.
"come in!"
As these words fell, several followers followed Wu Le into the tent, each carrying a large box filled with raw materials needed to make gunpowder.
These people were divided into two groups, each responsible for different tasks: one group would go to places where raw materials might exist and conduct a detailed search.
The other group is responsible for gathering information. Anyone who can provide valuable information will be rewarded generously.
This led to many people coming to report the news, but most of the information received at the beginning was not very meaningful.
As time went on, things began to take a turn for the better after the news of the reward spread widely among the people.
It was from an experienced old Chinese medicine doctor that I learned the specific location of the raw materials.
Once the authenticity and accuracy of the information was verified, a team of elite soldiers was quickly arranged to protect the safety of the scene.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yanheng personally led several reliable assistants to the site to dig up some samples for research purposes.
"Master, please look here. This is the saltpeter sample we found at the designated location."
Wu Le said this respectfully, handing over the mineral specimen that had just been taken out of the ground.
In fact, they had successfully located the presence of sulfur shortly before that.
At this point, the two main chemical substances needed to make new weapons have been obtained. All that is left is to conduct the tests strictly according to the experimental procedures.
After listening to his subordinates' brief and clear work report, Su Yuan, one of the core figures of the project, stepped forward and carefully inspected the contents of the box filled with gray-white crystals.
"Brother Heng, yes, these stones in the box are indeed saltpeter of relatively high purity."
Her tone was full of joy.
The moment he confirmed it, Xiao Yanheng couldn't help but smile with relief. "Great, Brother Wu Le, you should start preparing for the relevant matters immediately. We will set up an experimental base in the open area behind the yard. Be sure to send enough guards to ensure the safety of the entire process. Absolutely no unauthorized persons can get close to us!"
He attached great importance to the secret work that was about to be carried out, and felt that the consequences would be disastrous if the news leaked accidentally.
"I understand! I will give it my all and live up to the master's high expectations!"
After answering the order and preparing to turn around and leave,
Xiao Yanheng suddenly called him again and personally handed him a modern electronic device - a tablet computer.
"This is a tool for communication and recording work progress. Please use it."
He then spent some time and patiently taught me the basic operations of this novel and convenient technological product.
I also gave him a few power banks.
Wu Le took these things seriously and put them away carefully.
These power banks and tablets together are a bit heavy, and it is not convenient to put them directly in front of the chest, so I have to hold them tightly with my arms and try not to let others see them.
But this action still attracted the attention of several generals. He looked like a thief who had just stolen something, which was a bit funny.
But no one took the initiative to ask him.
"Wu Le, have you just returned from completing a mission?"
"Um...where are you going in such a hurry?"
"What good stuff is hidden in your arms?!"
Bai Yi showed a hint of curiosity and confusion on his face, and tried hard to look over there, but unfortunately he was wrapped too tightly and could not see anything.
"Nothing important!"
"No more talking, I have something else to do, I'm leaving now."
"You will know then."
Wu Le left in a hurry.
He called a few of his men and some skilled craftsmen hired from outside. When they heard that they might not be able to return home for a while, everyone seemed a little hesitant.
After all, no matter how high the reward is, it is not as valuable as one's own life. They vaguely feel that this task is unusual.
But after learning that this was Xiao Yanheng's instruction, everyone immediately gave up other ideas.
After saying goodbye to his family, he quickly followed Wu Le to the military camp.
It is precisely because Xiao Yanheng has done so many good things for the people during this period that they want to do their best to repay him.
Now that I have this opportunity, I will naturally not miss it easily.
Wu Le brought everyone to the open space behind the military camp and immediately directed everyone to start building temporary residences and experimental sites.
He also brought some thick clothes from the warehouse because he had seen similar clothes in videos. They were very thick and could cover a person's entire body.
After everything was ready, Wu Le took out a tablet computer from his pocket, which immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
He said loudly: "Everyone, please don't worry. If you have any questions, wait until the test is over."
Although everyone was very curious, considering Wu Le's identity, no one dared to say anything extra. They just stared at him quietly, waiting to see what would happen next.
Seeing that the surroundings gradually became quiet, Wu Le began to operate according to the familiar steps.
Soon, the images displayed on the tablet attracted everyone's attention.
Although everyone was full of doubts, because Wu Le had reminded them before, everyone observed silently.
As time passed, everyone in front of the screen opened their eyes wide and their bodies trembled slightly unconsciously.
This scene completely overturned their understanding of the world and made them wonder if they had not yet woken up from their dream.
One of them was so anxious to know the truth that he couldn't help but pinch his own arm to test it out.
"what?"
"Why can't I feel any pain?!"
