Heaven's Formula

There are countless living beings in the world, and he is just one of them.

This is why the two groups of people said the same thing, but Huo Ying had completely different feelings.

"For the country and the people" is not for others, but for oneself.

To benefit the world is also to benefit oneself.

He raised his bloody mouth and murmured softly, "I understand the truth in the book..."

"Crazy talk." Chai Rong pulled out his waist knife, "Fortunately, I didn't treat the dying guy—"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly froze.

Under the dim light of the fire, the spy saw a jet-black "thin line" behind the other party. If you didn't look carefully, it would be easy to confuse it with the shadow in the corner of the wall.

But that's not a shadow, it's a line made of something solid.

At the same time, Huo Ying's hands seemed to be tightly covering his waist, but one of them was completely covered by his body.

Chai Rong's expression changed dramatically.

"you--!"

At this moment, brilliant sparks appeared between Mr. Huo and the wall!

Chai Rong pounced forward and slashed straight with his knife—his target was not Huo Ying, but the black line made of gunpowder.

It's just that the gunpowder was sprinkled almost close to the wall, no matter what kind of weapon it was, it was impossible to split it in two properly.

Uncle Deng was dumbfounded.

He saw the fire like a golden snake flying like a snake into the door of a house ten steps away.

"Boy of the Huo family!"

Huo Ying opened his mouth, as if to say something, but he couldn't see it anymore.

A raging flame burst out of the door, overturning the obstacles along the way, and finally pierced through the roof and spewed out——

"Boom————long—————!"

The silence of the night at Baisha Mine was suddenly broken by this violent roar. Both the Jinxia garrison and the security team of the mine saw the flame that tore through the night.

Chapter 417 Shen Zhou Will Not Forget

A day later, news of Baisha County reached Xia Fan.

"...After noticing the anomaly, the Jinxia Army rushed to the mine for support and joined the security team."

"...After some fighting, a total of six enemies were killed and nine were captured alive..."

"...After interrogation, the enemy is a secret agent of the Privy Council. They sneaked into the mine by bribery, solicitation, etc., with the intention of blowing up the mine on the mountain. There are insiders in the manager's barracks and security camps."

"... Afterwards, there were eight victims in the mining area, six of whom were members of the security team. The mining area has been confirmed to be safe, and none of the captives escaped from the camp."

"The person who detonated the warehouse was the reserve officer Huo Ying... who did not survive the explosion."

At the end, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Did something happen?" The princess on the side couldn't help asking, she rarely saw Xia Fan showing such regret.

The latter handed the report to her.

After a few glances, Ning Wanjun's voice became colder, "Is this the Privy Council's battle plan?"

Infiltrating, secretly attacking, creating food shortages, instigating chaos... This is undoubtedly targeting Jinxia City as a country.

"The new issue of Shenjin Weekly will take this as the core of the publicity." Xia Fan said in a deep voice, "If Jinxia City needs a hero, this person is the best example—the full-scale hostility with Qiguo is gone. There is no need to hide it anymore, the other party has already sent us the reason."

"The Privy Council's plan for the country is not right, suspected of usurping the throne?"

"Not only that, they also intended to subvert the order of Shenzhou and murder the princess; and you, as the blood of the royal family, should raise the flag to resist." Xia Fan stood up and walked to the window.According to tradition, overthrowing the imperial court requires great righteousness. If the other party does not take action, Jinxia can only accumulate strength secretly, and cannot bring this matter to the table—he does not care about the rebellion, which does not mean that the people under the rule are the same. If there is no threat to vital interests, active propaganda will only increase public anxiety.

To put it simply, whoever becomes king first will suffer.

But now whether it is the food shortage or the attack on the Baisha mine, they have actually threatened the safety of the people. The princess is not the one who initiates the war, but the rebel who protects the Shenzhou border, which occupies the righteousness.

The next issue of the weekly report will be the clarion call to mobilize the whole people.

"I know you don't have any affection for those blood relatives in the palace, let alone talk about helping the royal family, but this is extremely necessary in publicity—at least for now. If there is a publicity, you should show that -"

"I know." Ning Wanjun interrupted him, "Don't worry, I can clearly distinguish the purpose from the means, and I also know where my bottom line is. If you have to struggle with things like name, it would be too willful point."

Xia Fan nodded slightly, fortunately... the princess is still very mature in her job, and the next publicity work will be much easier.

"This reserve official surnamed Huo...is he sent from Jinxiawai to Baisha County?" Ning Wanjun picked up the report again.

"It's not going outside, but practicing at the grassroots level." Xia Fan turned around and said, "Originally, the Bureau planned to reuse him—if this attack hadn't happened."

Qiguo is proud to be an official in Gyeonggi. If he passes the palace examination and is directly sent to a remote place to become an official, he will basically have no chance of getting ahead.And those high-ranking official seedlings will first stay in Shangyuan for more than ten years, then move to the local state shepherd, governor, and finally enter the cabinet.

The reserve officials of the secretariat are basically the opposite. If they stay in Jinxia after the training, they can only serve as clerks, clerks and other basic positions.It is those who are dispatched abroad that are the administrative backbone that the Bureau places high hopes on.

After listening to Xia Fan's explanation, the princess nodded, "I see...it seems like this is a big loss for the Bureau."

"Indeed. The land of Shenzhou will always remember Huo Ying's name from now on."

This is also the unavoidable price of the new regime - there are currently more than [-] reserve officials trained by the Bureau, and more than [-]% of them have been transferred to various places in Shenzhou.They must also be targeted by the secret agents of the Privy Council, who will either be corrupted and wooed or secretly eliminated.

If it's the latter, Jinxia still has some countermeasures, but the former is an uncontrollable part, after all, no one can see through people's hearts.This is a big wave washing the sand. Facing the temptation and coercion of the enemy, those who can abide by the principles and remain unmoved are the foundation of the new regime.

The conspiracies and tricks of the Privy Council can't kill Jinxia City.

It only makes Jinxia stronger.

"Don't send the captured spies to the mine." Ning Wanjun finally said, "Use them to pay homage to the victims."

……

Above the sea, Noah and Yinxing are marching at full speed facing the sea wind in a formation separated by thirty miles.

In order to reach the full speed of three or four knots, these two behemoths closed almost all the facilities on the island—including orchards, flower beds, and planting fields, in order to use all the energy of the spirit tree to drive the vines to move. move.Although the tree boat is not that fast compared to a clipper boat that can run up to ten knots, due to its amazing size, it is still much more powerful than a sailboat when it travels.

Behind the tree boat, the track was like a wide white road, and the sea water on both sides was churning, as if it had been boiled.And under the dark green sea water, you can vaguely see countless thick tentacles swinging back and forth, staring at it for a long time, and even make people feel scalp numb, as if there is an illusion of falling into the deep sea.

"Mr. Mo, everyone is ready." Ai Li trotted all the way to Mo Yun's side, raised her hands as if she was in class, and said, "The two tree boats can release nets at any time!"

"Thank you." Mo Yun commanded calmly, "Let the winch set activate the mechanism and get off the net at a medium speed."

"Yes!"

With the rotation of the astronomical instrument, the four cables thicker than the arm pass through the transmission system composed of the winch, suspension and pulley block, and submerge into the seawater behind.

This is the trawling mechanism proposed by Xia Fan, which was designed and manufactured by the Mechanism Bureau. Since it is impossible for manpower to drag such a heavy giant net and cables, the arrangement of the pulley block and the astronomical instrument becomes the key to the system.At the same time, the net is also divided into two parts: the upper net and the lower net. A large number of floating balls are hung on the upper net to lift the net mouth and maximize the throughput of the net. While increasing the rigidity of the net body, press down the net bag to avoid entanglement of the upper and lower nets.

The structure of the trawl net is quite simple, but it is not so easy to make it. The materials of the floating ball and the main net are stickworm fruit and golden silk vine respectively. The hundreds of meters of iron cables need to be bent and formed by machines to ensure It can pass through the rope hole smoothly; the design of the pulley block is inseparable from the guidance of physics, and the astronomical instrument is Mo Yun's masterpiece.

The combination of this series of conditions has made large-scale trawling projects a reality.

Chapter 418 On the Art of Fishing

The water depth here is about 240 feet ([-] meters), so the length of the main cable has reached as much as [-] feet, far exceeding any sea-going ship in Jinxia.When the net mouth is fully opened, the width is close to sixty feet, which can definitely be regarded as a "big mouth".

In order to weave the main net, the two tree boats took out nearly [-]% of the tree species and transformed them into golden vines.

It can be said that the net itself is worth a lot. If it fails, the initial investment will definitely be a huge loss.

In fact, the elves themselves do not believe that humans can beat them in fishing.Therefore, on this day, there were 5000 islanders who came to watch. They occupied all the high points at the tail of the tree boat, and looked at the fishing duel with great interest.

"It seems that there is not even a little bait in this net. Will the fish really take the bait?"

"I guess it depends on luck, let the fish crash into it by itself."

"But the net is not sealed, and the running is still slow, and the fish can swim out by themselves."

"That's not clear to me—did they really try it this way?"

"Perhaps the mainlanders have no concept of the sea. Although the fishing net is big, it is insignificant compared to the sea."

As the number of ropes on the winch became less and less, the discussion among the crowd became more and more heated.

Not only the majority of the islanders, but even Senia and Pang Ting were not exempt, but because of their status, they did not attend the scene in person, but watched the "competition" from the tree platform in the middle of the tree boat.

"It's been a long time since the islanders have been so noisy." The high priest looked at the crowds of people in the distance and sighed.Who wins and who loses is not an important thing, but just because it is not important to attract so many people to come is undoubtedly proof that life has become easier.

When he was in exile at sea, the atmosphere on the island seemed to freeze. At that time, not to mention fishing more than anyone else, even when his companions and relatives died, few people had time to mourn.

"So who do you think will win?" Pang Ting asked persistently without taking this opportunity to change the subject.

Senia shook her head helplessly, "You speak first."

"Of course I think Noah will win." The patriarch of the Sharman family said firmly.

"Then I'll vote for Jinxia."

"My lord, have you been leaning too much towards the mainland recently?" Pang Ting protested, "In the tree boat fishing competition held on World Island, it was your excellent leadership and ingenious arrangements that allowed Noah to win by a small margin. The next opponent, Messiah, won the crown of the strongest fishing tree boat in the world island!"

Thinking of this, Senia couldn't help but smile—although she only won once, in that year, Noah Shuzhou was the well-deserved king of fishing. "I didn't expect you to remember."

"How could I forget! You drove the green shuttle to chase the fish and forced them into the hunting range of the thorn algae. I always remember that fascinating figure." Pang Ting stroked his chest, "Since then, I have believed that you would be the most suitable helm for Noah."

"Okay, you don't need to be so formal." Senia smiled and waved her hands, "Isn't it interesting to have people betting on both sides of this kind of competition? If you and I choose Noah, we will either win or lose together , what else is there to see?"

"Uh...won't you cheer for Noah together?"

"Then you want Airi and the others to lose?"

"This--"

"Don't forget, more than half of the people involved in fishing net making and fishing this time are islanders, and they all have their own residences in Jinxia City." Senia covered her mouth and said, "You have to count them as Is it someone other than Noah?"

Pang Ting was momentarily speechless.

"So it's just right for one side." She turned to the tail of the tree boat, "so that no matter where the islanders live, there will be someone to cheer them up."

……

"Teacher, the cable is halfway through!" Airi reported again.

"Put the net board."

The two rectangular rubber plates immediately sank into the water with the main cable. They acted as rudders in this system and could be opened to both sides under the action of the water flow to control the main cable to always tilt outward.

At this point, the net release work is considered to be successfully completed.

"Okay." Mo Yun clapped his hands, "I'll leave this to you, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."

"Eh? Aren't you here to watch? This is a duel between Jinxia and Noah!" Ai Li yelled, "or to put it further, it's a duel between Trick Art and Brambleweed. Shame!"

Snapped!

Mo Yun slapped her on the top of the head, "Your teacher has never lost in the contest with various mechanics, do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because I never waste time in unnecessary places. If I have time to stay here and pray for the fish to get into the net, why don't I read the Gewu book a few more times, understand?" Mo Yun flicked his ponytail and turned to the resting place Walking away, only Ai Li was left with a tall back.

"Teacher... so chic." The little girl couldn't help murmuring.

She suddenly wanted to be someone like a teacher.

An hour and a half later.

The astronomical instrument began to turn around, pulling the fishing net closer to the tree boat.

After the net plate is closed, the two sides of the bag mouth are gathered together by the auxiliary cable, and the net bag itself gradually emerges from the water.

All the elves couldn't help but gasped!

I saw that the back of the net was crowded with all kinds of fish, and it looked like a colorful flower garden at a glance!And the tighter the net is, the clearer the result is - there are at least tens of thousands of sea fish squeezed on the upper part of the net alone, not to mention most of them are submerged underwater!

The sharp-eyed elves have already noticed that not only fish are caught with the trawl net, but also crabs, prawns, sea turtles, and some strange things that cannot be named.

Along the specially erected ramp, six astronomical instruments worked together to drag the heavy net bag onto the tree boat.

The last step is to untie the noose at the bottom of the net, let the net stand upright, and dump all the fish inside from the bottom.

A moment later, a majestic "fish mountain" appeared on Noah's tree boat.

Countless sea fish were crushed in the mountains, opening their mouths with difficulty, while crabs and other movable prey fled in all directions, wanting to fall back into the embrace of the sea—but at this time, no one cared about the fish that slipped through the net, because This fish mountain is so huge that it makes people think that wasting a little seafood is not a big deal.

When the thorn algae is harvested, let alone the big fish, even the wrapped freshwater shrimp and fish fry must be carefully collected together.

This difference alone is enough to let everyone present understand that the efficiency of sea net fishing is not only better than that of tree species, but a crushing victory.

Such a large amount of fish can already be consumed by a tree boat for a while.

But this was only the first net, and it took only an hour and a half.
