Chapter 290 Auspicious Omens and Actions of All Parties
The navy soldiers went into the water several times, and finally tied the stone with ropes and floated up to give a signal. The crew began to paddle hard.
After a while, I suddenly heard a dull sound, and the navy soldiers quickly dived down to check.
When they surfaced, Ning Ze asked, "What's the situation?"
"Marty, the rope is broken!" replied the navy soldier. "The edge of the stone is a little sharp. Although it was pulled out, the rope was cut off."
"Then use iron chains instead!" Ning Ze ordered, "Upload and rest first, Song Gao!"
"The last one will be there."
"Go back to the city immediately to get the chain!"
"Here!"
Song Gao got the order and quickly returned to Huajun city.
After taking the iron chain, Ning Ze asked the navy soldiers to enter the sea again and dived underwater to tie the stones.
Be sure there is no problem, and instruct the crew to row hard.
After a while of tossing, the stones were finally dragged to a shallower place, and more naval troops jumped into the sea and worked together to move the stones to the beach.
Ning Ze stepped forward to check and saw that the stone was irregularly shaped, as big as a millstone, and the whole piece was pitch black.
Rather than a stone, it looks more like metal. Especially the navy soldiers are very struggling to carry it, stones or millstones of the same size are not so heavy.
"It's a meteorite!" Seeing the whole picture, Song Gao was very surprised, "Congratulations to the Marquis, this is a meteorite! This must be a magical object!"
"So no longer shine?" A navy soldier looked at him curiously.
"Yes! It will shine under the water."
A group of soldiers surrounded Meteorite and looked at it curiously.
Ning Ze also stepped forward to observe carefully, and then found that the composition of meteorite was somewhat complicated. Part of it was a metal mineral and part of it was a stone. On the stone layer, it seemed that there was a bead the size of a ping-pong ball buried inside, only a small part was exposed.
Looking up at the sky that has gradually become brighter, then looking at the rising sun on the coastline and the blue water. I had an idea in my mind, so I greeted my subordinates: "Get a few thicker black cloths."
The soldiers immediately took the black cloth, followed Ning Ze's order, and wrapped the meteorite on all sides to block the light.
Sleeping into the darkness, the meteorite really shines again. I look at what beads the size of a table tennis ball came from nearby.
"Marty, this is the night pearl!" A navy soldier exclaimed when he saw this, "There is a night pearl in the meteorite! This is a miracle!"
"Night Pearl?" Ning Ze couldn't help but frown.
Ancient people thought that meteorites were things in the sky and were related to legends. But he knew that meteorites came from the universe and were a natural substance. This should be an ore from the universe. As for the night pearl, it is also a special mineral formed naturally. This has nothing to do with miracles, it is just a coincidence.
However, all the soldiers at the scene were excited, thinking that miracles from heaven meant that their forces were blessed and were auspicious, so Ning Ze was of course happy to see it.
"Mr. Marquis, auspicious signs come from heaven!" Song Gao said excitedly, "This thing fell into the sea five years ago and was only discovered until now. It means that the Marquis follows the will of heaven and will surely capture the sixteen states and achieve great achievements!"
"Congratulations to the Marquis! Congratulations to the Marquis!!" All the soldiers knelt down the mountain and shouted.
The fisherman was frightened by this momentum and quickly knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations to the Marquis--!"
Ning Ze turned his head and looked at the fisherman: "You have made great contributions to leading the way. After you go back, you will reward you with land and houses, and you will be given gold and silver."
The fisherman was ecstatic: "The grass people thanked the Marquis!!"
"Come here, bring the meteorite onto the carriage and return to the city quickly!"
"Here!!"
Ning Ze led the team to pull the meteorite back to the city, and made a "good omen" publication so that his subordinates could spread the news throughout the states.
At the same time, the Meteorite Tower was set up, and the meteorite iron was placed on the top of the high platform and guarded by heavy troops.
I can’t see anything during the day, but at night, the pearl will emit colorful light, which is particularly magical.
The people in the city were talking about it, and rumors spread everywhere, saying that Princess Yuanxi Liu Yuanxiang had the destiny and would become the pearl of great success and dominate the world.
The news came out, attracting countless people from other places to Huajun to watch, and the rumors became even more serious.
Wherever Liu Yuanxiang's power reached, the people's hearts rose sharply.
After a while, Ning Ze ordered people to dig open the meteorite layer, take out the night pearl, and give it to Liu Yuanxiang himself.
At the same time, melt the meteorite iron and remove the stone layer. The best blacksmith is required to strengthen the star hammer.
After strengthening, the Star Hammer becomes heavier, more in line with Ning Ze's feel, and its attributes change.
【Star Hammer】(change) force +10, single fight lv1
Although it only increases 2 points of force, it reaches the limit of weapon attribute growth, and is inseparable from Tang Niu's Ghost Slash.
Now Ning Ze can tie with Tang Niu, and count the official position bonus, and even have a great chance to beat him.
People in this era believe in destiny. In addition, Ning Ze used propaganda machines to make everyone know about it, and it increased Liu Yuanxiang's fame greatly, which attracted many literati and heroes who came to seek refuge.
The news reached the ears of several other princes, and of course they did not believe it.
Even if it is true, it will be forged. Liu Yuanxiang's power will not benefit them.
Not to mention Tang Niu for now, Sima Fa and Feng Qiao have returned to their respective forces and have long taken action against the Chamber of Commerce. Many members of the Chamber of Commerce in their own country were summoned to talk, coercion and inducement to the secret of passing letters to Fei Ge.
Ning Ze's underground intelligence personnel who were hidden in these two forces had already received the news and left early. The Chamber of Commerce also had a headquarters order, but it was not a monolithic one. After all, merchants are seeking profits, and many of them are still local merchants.
In fact, when Fei Ge passed the letter to Lu Gong, he had known for a long time that he had been cheated by Ning Ze once and did not master the methods of breeding and training.
Sima Fa used this to obtain the information obtained by Feng Qiao and took the opportunity to successfully obtain pigeon breeding and training methods through his own domestic chamber of commerce branch, and obtained the Ning Zejun communication password.
In order to keep the confidentiality of Feige's letters, they are all delivered in password form, and they need to be deciphered to know the content.
Feng Qiao also obtained the secret of Fei Ge's letter, and the same idea as Sima Fa. He immediately intercepted the information conveyed by Ning Zejun to decipher.
However, Ning Ze had already expected this and changed the password before they left Huajun and returned to their respective forces, which was completely different from the previous method of decoding.
Although members of the Chamber of Commerce branch participated in raising or training pigeons, only underground intelligence personnel knew the core password.
The encrypted information intercepted by two forces is useless.
Although Sima Fa and Feng Qiao were surprised, they were not discouraged. Based on the information provided by the members of the Chamber of Commerce, the underground staff of Ningze Army were arrested throughout the country.
However, Ning Ze made an early deployment, and even the Chamber of Commerce did not know that the underground staff had transferred their positions. In addition, the password had been changed, and the information transmission of underground intelligence personnel could not be deciphered. In the end, they avoided the search of the two major forces and hid it smoothly.
Sima Fa and Feng Qiao also realized that Ning Ze was not an ordinary person and was not that easy to deal with.
No matter what, at least you can get a letter from Fei Ge, and the information transmission will be as convenient as Ning Zejun in the future, reducing disadvantages.
The problem is that the old password obtained from Ning Zejun cannot be used, and you must make another copy by yourself, otherwise the other party can also intercept the information here. Using the other party's old password is obviously a secret leak?
So Sima Fa and Feng Qiao each focused on setting their own passwords. Only by making the passwords form as soon as possible can Fei Ge's letters be used earlier in military use.
Ning Ze naturally pays attention to the actions of the two major forces in this way.
On the other side, although Tang Niu failed to get any information in Huajun, he returned to Bianzhou and obtained information from Lu Cong and Ma Jian's forces through detailed work, and then he learned the secret of the Chamber of Commerce.
So he ordered Mei Xu to act quickly.
Mei Xu tried every possible way, and it took a long time to finally successfully draw the secret of Feige's letters from the members of the Chamber of Commerce. Although it was much later than Lu Cong and Ma Jian's power, he also began to speed up the construction of Feige's letters and strive to be used next year.
Since then, the stormy Dacheng Kingdom has finally made progress in communication and entered the era of flying pigeons delivering letters.
Ning Ze was in control of the progress of the three parties, and he didn't feel surprised.
Although I lost the advantage of Fei Ge's passing on a letter, I didn't care so much.
Now our forces are no longer as weak as they were at the beginning. Even if their opponents have obtained Feige's letter transmission technology, communication is more convenient and the impact is not that great.
What's more, Ning Ze himself is a technical resident and understands many technologies that the world does not know about. Among them, the military use of gunpowder is the most important and strongest. The secret technical department he set up constantly researches and improves according to the knowledge he provides, invests heavily in developing weapons, and strives to create thermal weapons that are stronger than explosive crossbows.
The main reason Ning Ze has limited knowledge of guns and only has a vague outline, which needs to be continuously studied through the "technical personnel" of the current era.
To be honest, research is difficult, after all, technology is too different. Moreover, gunpowder is extremely dangerous, and it often causes human life losses and is under great pressure during research.
However, Ning Ze will not stop developing research and development. In the era of cold weapons, if he can successfully develop powerful thermal weapons and try his best to suppress costs, it can become a powerful support for siege cities and land.
In addition, the system is also Ningze’s biggest reliance.
In fact, even without advanced knowledge from modern times, system capabilities alone have enough to gain a foothold.
With two major advantages in hand, what's the pity for mere Fei Ge to pass on a letter?
As long as time is enough, more advanced communication methods may not be impossible.
The attribute improvement brought by the system is not that simple.
The improvement of force will give Ning Ze a strong combat power, allowing him to master superb martial arts that are not his own; the improvement of intelligence will make his mind clearer and more flexible.
Many knowledge points that I have come into contact with before time travel and cannot remember clearly appear little by little as my intelligence gradually improves, and become clearer and clearer.
Some knowledge that only understands the basics or simple principles also understands through continuous thinking as their intelligence improves.
Not only does memory improve, but many knowledge points that cannot be understood before traveling through time, such as some formulas, gradually understand the principles as their intelligence improves, and can even be further mastered.
With such a powerful gold finger, what else can I worry about?
When a person becomes smart enough and knows countless modern technologies in his mind, he can infer and calculate through his own insights, experiences, and common sense, what can’t be done?
