After ten years of sharpening the sword, one sword shocked the sky!

Chapter 48 [The foundation of the best in the world]

30?
Hearing this number, Lin Lin felt a little pain in his liver.

The exchange price for a high-level martial art is only [-] points of martial contribution, and it is only [-] points of martial contribution to exchange for a top-notch martial art.

Although Lin Lin didn't know how much martial art contribution was required to learn the peerless magical skills of the Hundred Flowers Valley, but at most it seemed to be the same as the price of the "Hundred Flowers Secret Record".

30 men tribute!
How many years would it take to make up such a large contribution to the sect!
One must know that he spent the past five months racking his brains to increase the output of the cold iron ore, and he was still in the process of practicing high-level martial arts and also increased the output with mining, so he had saved a total of [-] points of martial contribution .

This "Hundred Flowers Secret Record" has 30 tributes, and I owed [-] points when I was learning martial arts.

In other words, after deducting the income, Lin Lin still owes 33 men tribute.

If Lin Lin earns 270 points of tribute a month, it will take [-] and five months for Lin Lin to pay off all these tributes.

Almost 23 years!

The sect stipulates that one-tenth of the owed tribute must be paid back every year, which means that Lin Lin only has ten years to pay off the debt at most.

An average of [-] martial arts contributions are required each year.

"Elder, if you have to pay back one-tenth of the tribute a year, the disciple can't afford it." Lin Lin tried to bargain.

Ji Yun smiled and said kindly: "I believe in your intelligence and potential."

He has seen Lin Lin's performance in Han Iron Mine.

Doubling the production of cold iron ore in one month is a manifestation of wisdom.

It's just a matter of earning more tribute, which is completely a small problem. Ji Yun believes that Lin Lin has great potential to be tapped.

Lin Lin took a deep breath, feeling that the jade book that Ji Yun was about to hand over was like poison with sugar.

He knew that he must take over, but because of the huge amount of men's tribute arrears, he felt a lot of pressure, so he couldn't make a decisive move.

In order to cut off the last bit of hesitation in his heart, Lin Lin asked: "Elder, what kind of master is a master in the realm of heaven and man in today's arena?"

Ji Yun spoke with some yearning in his tone:
"Number one, number two!"

Snapped!
Lin Lin gritted her teeth, and took the jade book from Ji Yun in an almost grabbing gesture.

He was afraid that if he was a second late, he would regret taking on this huge debt.

Then, Lin Lin sat down on the spot, and began to grit his teeth and watch.

Although becoming a master at the top of the Jianghu pyramid, or even becoming the number one in the world, is also a dream that Lin Lin has been pursuing since practicing martial arts.

But the current situation is the most uncomfortable he has ever dreamed of since he practiced martial arts.

"Hundred Flowers Secret Records" records the warming and opening methods of 360 five orifices. In addition, there are additional 160 opening and warming methods of eight hidden acupoints.

Not to mention that practicing this secret record to great success in the state of enlightenment can lay the foundation of heaven and man.

Even those top-notch masters with little inheritance can get their hands on this secret record, and after completing the practice, their combat power can be increased by at least a few percent on the original basis.

In terms of value, this "Hundred Flowers Secret Record" is not inferior to the peerless magic art.

Lin Lin was able to get this "Hundred Flowers Secret Record", even if he owed more than 30 tributes for it, it was still a matter of blood.

On the side, Ji Yun looked at the young man who was gnashing his teeth and memorizing the contents of the jade book, and smiled silently with the corners of his mouth curled up.

Being able to let Lin Lin study this "Secret Record of Hundred Flowers" is already the result of using his own authority to make an exception. It is not only for the sake of the innocence of Lin Lin's two generations of disciples of the Hundred Flowers Valley, but also because of his past one year. Showed talent and hard work above.

If Lin Lin maintains his current practice attitude and does not die prematurely, he will surely become a pillar of the sect in the future.

Such a disciple, investing in him is a necessary thing, considering the future of the entire sect.

Asking Lin Lin to take more than 30 tribute is just to silence the other high-level officials in the sect.

If he really can't pay back the one-tenth of the tribute that must be paid every year, these high-level officials in the sect will be slightly angry, but it is impossible to send such a genius who can practice "Hundred Flowers Secret Record" into the water prison of Law Enforcement Hall Year-round confinement?
Young people, a little pressure is also good.

What if unforeseen potential bursts out?
When he walked out of the Chuan Gong Hall, Lin Lin felt that he was under a mountain-like pressure.

It's really uncomfortable to owe money, especially when you owe so much.

Lin Lin couldn't help asking himself, maybe his moral bottom line is a little lower, and the one who changes his mind to owe money is the uncle, so he won't feel so much pressure.

He managed the Cold Iron Mine to a great extent, coupled with his own outstanding talent, even if the sect wanted to punish him for what he owed Mengong, they still had to consider the issue of sunk costs, right?
On the way to the Cold Iron Mine, Lin Lin has been thinking about how to earn more men's tribute.

When you are in charge of Han Iron Mine, how about taking time to do other tasks?
No, it will delay the progress of practice too much.

Continue to increase the production of cold iron ore?

This is not a matter of delay, it can be considered.

The current operating mechanism of the Cold Iron Mine has reached a relatively perfect point in this era. If you want to continue to improve efficiency, it seems that there is no other way but to recruit more miners.

"Increase productivity?"

Thinking of this, Lin Lin feels that this direction is feasible.

After wandering wildly in his mind for a while, Lin Lin gradually came up with some new ideas: "Gunpowder in this world can also explode, as evidenced by those fireworks flares and the like, which shows that the basic physical rules of this world should be consistent with It’s almost the same in the previous life.”

"However, martial arts are prevalent in this world, and the development of these chemical and physical things is not very fast. The power of explosives in this world is still very low, and they are basically decorations. The light weapons and guns in the previous life are not as good as I am now. Throwing a hidden weapon is powerful."

"Even if you make high explosives, if you want to pose a threat to warriors above the second rate, you need a lot of equivalent."

"I remember that the raw materials of black powder are saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. The ratio is that adding sugar seems to be more powerful."

The knowledge of physics and chemistry in middle school that had been forgotten to the farthest corner of his mind began to be gradually recalled by Lin Lin.

"By the way, I remember that there is another thing called nitroglycerin. I heard it when I went to see the beautiful teacher in the chemistry department next door. Treat glycerin with nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and then you can get nitroglycerin. If you use these explosives to Compared with using manpower to mine cold iron ore, wouldn't it take off directly in Wuhu?"

"When I get to the mine later, let those supervisors help me collect materials for experiments. With my current agility and speed, as long as I'm careful and use less proportion, I shouldn't be killed by the explosion."

It has to be said that practicing martial arts can indeed increase comprehension and wisdom.

In addition, when Lin Lin awakened Su Hui a year ago, he went through all the memories of his past and present lives. Even if it is a memory that was not deeply impressed many, many years ago, as long as Lin Lin is willing to spend a little time recalling it, he can still remember it. its recalled.

Soon, when Lin Lin walked to the cold iron ore mine, he had already recalled all the manufacturing process and safety precautions of the entire black powder and nitroglycerin.

However, just when Lin Lin was about to order his subordinates to help prepare the materials and carry out the complete reproduction test of the explosives, he suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Lin Lin suddenly realized a problem.

"If I make this explosive, can I really use it for mining quietly?"

The development of physical chemistry in this world is still at a very backward stage. Lin Lin may be able to use black powder and nitroglycerin to mine cold iron ore at the beginning.

But once this thing is discovered by interested people, they will definitely realize its war value.

With Lin Lin's current strength, he can't keep these two explosive formulas. At that time, the coveted eyes will definitely be cast on him.

At this moment, what Lin Lin needs is stable development, not these extra troubles.

It would be fine if this formula was simply obtained by Baihuagu. Perhaps it would be possible to use these two types of explosives as a basis to greatly expand the army and lay the foundation for creating a unified dynasty.

If this formula is accidentally spread and is obtained by other sects or princes in the chaotic land of Shenzhou, it will inevitably start an arms race.

Except that thermal weapons based on black powder and nitroglycerin continue to increase the intensity of the battlefield and lower the survival rate of soldiers on the battlefield, it will not bring any fundamental changes to the already chaotic land of Shenzhou.

This point has been proved many times in Lin Lin's previous life.

Take the widely circulated Gatling machine gun as an example.

Its inventor, Dr. Gatling, saw the massive casualties of soldiers on the battlefield, so he invented the Gatling machine gun, a powerful weapon, intending to use this powerful weapon to reduce the number of soldiers on the battlefield, but it can achieve the same level as the past. Equivalent firepower.

In this way, the number of casualties of soldiers on the battlefield is reduced in disguise.

However, the actual development is completely contrary to the doctor's expectations. The number of soldiers on the battlefield has not decreased, and this powerful weapon has been more widely used, resulting in more casualties on the battlefield.

In the end, it would be better not to invent this kind of weapon in the first place, so as to achieve the goal of reducing casualties.

If Lin Lin has the best martial arts in the world at this moment and is not afraid of anyone's coveting, or if a hero is born at this moment to end this chaotic world that has lasted for hundreds of years, then the two explosives, black powder and nitroglycerin, will be restored by Lin Lin. Once it is carved out, it can be simply used as a production tool for mining.

But it is obvious that Lin Lin does not possess this level of martial arts at the moment, and he is living in a troubled world right now.

Then, if black powder and nitroglycerin come out, the resulting arms race and increasing battlefield intensity will inevitably become a reality.

So at the end, Lin Lin sighed.

Temporarily gave up the idea of ​​using explosives to mine to increase the production of cold iron.
