Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

In the remaining two days, Xiahou Dun visited the research and development center and the explosives workshop.

Since Bai Feng had already shown Xiahou Dun the steam train and the blasting operations in the mine, he didn't hide the rest.

With the development of Hanzhong, these things will be made public sooner or later.

Instead of guarding against Xiahou Dun, who was so close, it was better to think about Cao Cao's attitude.

Bai Feng took Xiahou Dun to visit the R\u0026D center and the explosives manufacturing workshop, which actually meant showing off his strength.

If Cao Cao orders an attack on Hanzhong, then he must also consider the cost.

This is the game between Bai Feng and Cao Cao.

When Xiahou Dun visited the R\u0026D center, he found that the steam engine production lines had become two.

"No wonder Bai Feng has the strength to go to Yecheng to sell steam engines. It turns out that Hanzhong's steam engine output has doubled than before."

Then Bai Feng took Xiahou Dun to visit the steam engine train manufacturing factory.

Looking at the nearly completed steam train in the factory, Xiahou Dun really wanted to buy it.

But when he thought about the need to build a railway, which would require a large amount of steel and craftsmen, Xiahou Dun stopped mentioning the purchase of a steam engine.

It was bought without a railway and it was just a decoration.

If Yizhou starts building railways now, Xiahou Dun will still worry that Cao Cao mistakenly thinks that he and Bai Feng are wearing the same pants.

Cao Jie built a soap workshop in Yizhou before, and Zhang Qiying later recruited craftsmen in Yizhou. This was not a big deal in Xiahou Dun's eyes.

Even if Cao Cao knew it, he wouldn't think much about it.

But the significance of building railways is completely different. After Cao Cao knew the value of railways and steam trains, he would never accept it.

After visiting the R\u0026D center, Xiahoudun and Bai Feng came to the explosives workshop.

Compared to the R\u0026D center, the explosives workshop is much smaller.

And there are more soldiers around than in the R\u0026D center.

Wooden signs prohibiting fireworks can be seen everywhere inside and outside the explosives workshop.

When the two entered the explosives workshop, Wei Boyang was taking his disciple Zhen Cheng, as well as alchemists such as Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan, who were formulating standards for the explosives production line.

"Hanzhonghou, Xiahouzhou Mu!"

After seeing Bai Feng and Xiahou Dun, Wei Boyang and others stepped forward to salute.

"Well, how is the production line standard being developed now?"

Then Bai Feng asked Wei Boyang.

"Reporting to Hanzhong, we have written down all the steps in the explosive manufacturing process in the standards."

Upon hearing this, Wei Boyang began to show Bai Feng the explosive manufacturing standards being formulated.

Although Xiahou Dun on the side could not understand everything, he could still understand the dangers in the explosive manufacturing process.

"It turns out that the explosive is so dangerous during the manufacturing process. No wonder it is so powerful!"

After listening to Wei Boyang's story, Xiahou Dun had a new understanding of the power of explosives.

And he admired Bai Feng for being able to invent such a powerful explosive.

After all, in Xiahou Dun's eyes, alchemists were basically unworthy of recognition.

Only Wei Boyang was able to catch Xiahou Dun's eyes.

After listening to Wei Boyang's story, Bai Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's follow this process and recruit a group of craftsmen to try to make explosives."

Before leaving the explosive manufacturing workshop, Bai Feng gave instructions to Wei Boyang.

Explosives must be mass-produced so that Bai Feng can make profits from them.

However, regarding the use of explosives, Bai Feng will still abide by the promise he made to Wei Boyang when he asked him to come out of Changbai Mountain.

This is also one of the prerequisites for Wei Boyang to help Bai Feng to implement the explosive manufacturing production line.

After the two left, Bai Feng said to Xiahou Dun:

"General, after mass production of this explosive, I can provide you with some to facilitate mining of minerals in the future."

When Xiahou Dun heard this, he was immediately happy. This was a good thing. He had never thought that Bai Feng would sell explosives to others.

"Hahaha, that's great!"

Then Xiahou Dun smiled at Bai Feng.

Xiahou Dun, who returned to Yizhou, had sorted out everything he had seen and heard in Hanzhong and was preparing to report to Cao Cao.

On this day, Xiahou Dun called a close guard and handed him the letters he had compiled about steam trains, nitroglycerin/dynamite, blast furnaces, and the development of Hanzhong.

And told him to deliver it to Cao Cao personally.

After the confidant guard received the letter, he placed it in his arms with great care and set out for Yecheng that day.

Three days later.

This confidant of Xiahou Dun finally handed the letter into Cao Cao's hands.

When Cao Cao took the letter from the guard, which was still warm and a finger thick, he knew that Xiahou Dun had gained a lot from his trip to Hanzhong.

Then Cao Cao opened the letter and read it carefully.

"So fast?!"

"It's so powerful?!"

“Unheard, unseen!”

While reading the letter, Cao Cao couldn't help but exclaimed many times.

Whether it was the steam train that he had already learned about before, or the nitroglycerin/dynamite he just learned about from Xiahou Dun's letter, Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked.

"I didn't expect that this steam train could carry so much food and soldiers. It is truly a valuable weapon of the country!"

The description and introduction of the steam train impressed Cao Cao the most.

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help but think about what if all the cities in the Wei Dynasty were connected by railways and had enough steam trains.

Then the imperial court's control over the world will be elevated to an unprecedented level.

In no way can a post station be as good as a train station!

Then Cao Cao was extremely shocked by the power of nitroglycerin/dynamite.

However, in Cao Cao's view, nitroglycerin/dynamite was more used for mining and warfare. From the perspective of the entire Wei Dynasty, he believed that the advent of nitroglycerin/dynamite had no significance for steam trains. Large, which also includes blast furnaces.

"Unexpectedly, Bai Feng only spent about two years in Hanzhong to build a steam train and put it into use."

"If you want to continue to suppress Bai Feng now, it will not be as easy as before."

If Bai Feng didn't have an army before, Cao Cao would still have a way to suppress him based on his prestige.

But now that the steam train has come out, it has become difficult for Bai Feng to continue to suppress it.

"We must discuss how to deal with the problem of steam trains."
