Chapter 48 [The foundation of being number one in the world]

Three hundred thousand?

Hearing this number, Lin Lin felt his liver hurt a little.

The exchange price for an excellent martial arts is only 10,000 sect contribution points, and the exchange price for a powerful martial arts is only 50,000 sect contribution points.

Although Lin Lin didn't know how much sect contribution it would take to learn Baihua Valley's peerless magical skills, at most he thought it was only about the same price as the "Secret Record of Hundred Flowers".

Three hundred thousand tribute!

How many years do you have to save to make such a large contribution to the sect!

You must know that he has spent the past five months racking his brains to increase the output of cold iron mines. He is also practicing advanced martial arts while mining to increase output. In total, he has accumulated a total of 6,000 sect contribution points.

.

This "Hundred Flowers Secret Record" is 300,000 points in tribute. I owed 35,000 points when I was studying Shangcheng Martial Arts. This time I came to consult the elder who taught the martial arts and owed another 1,000 points.

In other words, after deducting the income, Lin Lin still owes a tribute of 330,000 yuan.

If Lin Lin were to earn 1,200 points of tribute a month at the rate, it would take Lin Lin 275 months to pay off all the tribute.

Almost twenty-three years!

The sect stipulated that one-tenth of the tribute owed must be repaid every year, which meant that Lin Lin only had ten years at most to pay off the debt.

On average, a sect contribution of 33,000 points is required every year.

"Elder, if you have to pay back one-tenth of the tribute every year, this disciple cannot afford it." Lin Lin tried to bargain.

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

He had seen Lin Lin's performance at Hantie Mine.

Doubling the output of Han Iron Ore in one month is a sign of cleverness.

It's just a matter of earning more money. It's a minor problem. Ji Yun believes that there is great potential in Lin Lin.

Lin Lin took a deep breath and felt that the jade book in Ji Yun's hand that was about to be handed over was like poison dipped in sugar.

He knew that he was bound to take over, but because of the huge Mengong debt, he felt so much pressure that he could not act decisively.

In order to cut off the last bit of hesitation in his heart, Lin Lin asked: "Elder, what level of master in the realm of heaven and human is considered in today's world?"

Ji Yun spoke with some yearning in his tone:

"Count one to two!"

Snapped!

Lin Lin gritted his teeth and took the jade book from Ji Yun in an almost snatching manner.

He was afraid that if he was one second late, he would regret shouldering this huge debt.

Then, Lin Lin sat down on the spot and began to read with gritted teeth.

Although becoming a master at the top of the martial arts pyramid, or even becoming the best in the world, is still a dream that Lin Lin has been pursuing since his martial arts practice.

But the current situation was the most uncomfortable he had ever dreamed of since he started practicing martial arts.

"The Secret Record of Hundred Flowers" records the methods of warming and nourishing 365 acupoints, in addition to the additional 168 methods of opening and nourishing hidden acupoints.

Not to mention that cultivating this secret book to perfection in the realm of enlightenment can lay the foundation for heaven and humanity.

Even those super-first-rate masters with weak inheritance can increase their combat power by at least several percent on the original basis after they acquire this secret book and practice it.

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

Lin Lin was able to obtain this "Secret Record of Hundred Flowers", even if he owed more than 300,000 yuan in tribute for it, it was a worthwhile thing.

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

Being able to let Lin Lin learn the "Secret Record of Hundred Flowers" was the result of him using his authority to open up the network. This was not only for the sake of the innocent family background of Lin Lin's two generations of Baihua Valley disciples, but also because of his past year.

Demonstrated talent and hard work.

If Lin Lin maintains his current attitude towards cultivation, he will definitely become a pillar of the sect in the future.

Investing in such a disciple is a necessary thing and is a consideration for the future of the entire sect.

Asking Lin Lin to take more than 300,000 yuan in tribute was just to silence other high-level officials in the sect.

If he really can't come up with the one-tenth of the tribute that he must repay every year, the senior leaders in the sect will be a little angry, but will they really send such a genius who can practice "The Secret Record of Hundred Flowers" to the water prison of the Law Enforcement Hall?

Is it a year-round confinement?

For young people, it’s good to have a little bit of pressure.

What if it explodes with unexpected potential?

When he walked out of the Chuan Gong Hall, Lin Lin felt like he was carrying a mountain of pressure.

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

Lin Lin couldn't help but ask herself, maybe if her moral bottom line was lower and she changed her mind to think that it was the boss who owed money, would she not feel so much pressure.

He managed the Han Iron Mine with great success, and coupled with his outstanding talents, even if the sect wanted to punish him for owing Mengong, it would still have to consider the issue of sunk costs, right?

On the way to Hantie Mine, Lin Lin had been thinking about how to earn more money.

While you are in charge of the Cold Iron Mine, do you take time to do other tasks?

No, it would delay the progress of practice too much.

Continue to increase the production of cold iron ore?

If this doesn't delay things, you can consider it.

The current operating mechanism of Han Iron Mine has reached a relatively perfect level in this era. If we want to continue to improve efficiency, there seems to be no other way but to recruit more miners.

"Increase productivity?"

After thinking about this, Lin Lin felt that this direction was feasible.

After running 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 and flares. This shows that the basic physical rules of this world should be the same as

It’s almost the same as in the previous life.”

"But martial arts are prevalent in this world, and things like chemistry and physics are not developing very fast. The power of explosives in this world is still very low, and they are basically decorations. The small arms and firearms in the previous life are not as easy as I am now.

Throwing a concealed weapon can be very powerful."

"Even if we get high explosives, if we want to pose a threat to second-rate or above warriors, we still need a huge yield."

"I remember that the raw materials of black gunpowder are saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. If the ratio is right and then sugar is added, it seems to be more powerful."

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

"By the way, I remember there is another thing called nitroglycerin. When I went to see the beautiful teacher in the chemistry department next door, I seemed to have heard that glycerin is treated with nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and then nitroglycerin can be obtained. If these explosives are used to

Compared with using manpower to mine cold iron ore, why not just take off in Wuhu?"

"When I get to the mine later, let the supervisors help me collect materials for experiments. With my current speed and movement, as long as I am careful and use a smaller proportion, I should not be blown to death."

It has to be said that practicing martial arts can indeed increase your understanding 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. Now, even the memories that were not impressive many, many years ago, as long as Lin Lin is willing to spend a little time to recall them, he can still remember them.

It's recalled.

Soon, when Lin Lin walked to the Han Iron Mine, he had already recalled the entire manufacturing process and safety precautions for black powder and nitroglycerin.

However, just when Lin Lin was excitedly preparing to ask his subordinates to help prepare materials and conduct a complete replica test of the explosives, he suddenly paused.

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. If Lin Lin has developed black powder and nitroglycerine, he may be able to use it in mining 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, there is no way he can keep the formulas for these two explosives. When the time comes, overt or covert covetous eyes will definitely be on him.

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

It would be better if this formula was simply obtained by Baihua Valley. It might be possible to greatly expand the military strength based on these two explosives and lay the foundation for the creation of a unified dynasty.

If this formula accidentally spreads out and is obtained by other sects or princes in the currently chaotic land of Shenzhou, an arms race will inevitably begin.

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

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

Take the widely circulated Gatling gun as an example.

Its inventor, Dr. Gatling, originally saw a large number of soldiers casualties on the battlefield, so he invented a powerful weapon such as the Gatling gun. He intended to use the existence of this high-power weapon to reduce the number of soldiers on the battlefield, but he could achieve the same goal as in the past.

Equivalent firepower.

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

The actual development was completely contrary to the doctor's expectation. The number of soldiers on the battlefield did not decrease, and this powerful weapon was more widely used, causing more casualties on the battlefield.

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

If Lin Lin has the best martial arts in the world and is not afraid of anyone's coveting, or if a hero comes out and ends the troubled times that have lasted for hundreds of years, then the two explosives black powder and nitroglycerin will be revived by Lin Lin.

Once carved out, it can simply be used as a production tool for mining.

But it is obvious that Lin Lin does not possess this level of martial arts at this moment, and he is also living in troubled times.

Then, if black powder and nitroglycerine are invented, the resulting arms race and increasing battlefield intensity will inevitably become a reality.

So at the end, Lin Lin sighed.

The idea of ​​using explosives to mine and increase cold iron production has been temporarily abandoned.
