Datang Live Room

Li Anyan was stunned: "Why do you want to help me?"

"I didn't help you? I just returned a favor to you!" Yan Kai said: "I asked Zhou Tong and Master Zhou, after you saw them being attacked on the beach, it was you who took the initiative to stop the pirates."

"Liuzi's injury was also caused by helping Zhou Tong block a knife."

"What's more..." Yan Kai looked at Li Anyan and said, "You may think that I am from His Majesty's faction, but in fact, I was also tricked by them that day at Xuanwu Sect."

"So I have no obligation to help them capture you. When Chun Yuzhen's people escort those pirates to Dengzhou, they will tell the governor of Dengzhou that you have all died in the battle."

"So if I were you, you'd better take your people to the beach to leave something behind, and then burn the bodies of those pirates."

Li Anyan looked at Yan Kai, trying to tell whether what he said was true or false. After a while, he said: "Okay, I believe you!"

Leaving a few injured ones to take care of Liuzi, he took the rest to the beach.

At this time, Huang Rong came out with a plate of potato chips and said to Yan Kai with a gloomy face: "It's just this once, it won't happen next time!"

Yan Kai asked curiously: "I thought you would report everything."

"Hmph!" Huang Rong said, "You are right. Because of them, the people of Kuoding County may have been spared a disaster. Mr. Dashan treated me to eggs, and Mrs. Chunhua treated me to oily buns. I am also kind. He who must pay.”

"And what if I report their whereabouts to His Majesty? If you let them go, by the time my letter is sent back to Chang'an, they won't know where they went!"

"Instead of worrying about me now, why not worry about how to guard against pirates? Of course you are not afraid of facing the enemy head-on, but what if pirates come over in the middle of the night?"

Yan Kai asked: "Where's Yu Laosan? I'll pay, can you ask Yu Laosan and the others to come over and keep an eye on the coast for me?"

"Yu Laosan?" Huang Rong asked strangely: "Don't you know that they are actually bandits?"

"I know, but aren't they your people?"

"Okay!" Huang Rong smiled broadly when she saw that Yan Kai believed in her so much: "As long as you are willing to pay, there is no problem in asking them to come and guard for a while."

Of course, Yan Kai was not someone who left all his safety in the hands of others. The next day he took Zhou Tong for a spin along the beach.

You can still see some scorch marks where we fought yesterday.

Yan Kai felt like vomiting when he thought of so many pirates being burned to ashes by Li Anyan and the others here.

Take Zhou Tong and leave quickly.

"Aren't you good at climbing trees? Tie this to the tree." Yan Kai handed Zhou Tong something like a pine cone.

Zhou Tong looked at the pine cone in his hand curiously: "Sir, why is this pine cone so heavy? And this is not a pine tree!"

"I'll tie you up if I ask you to, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Zhou Tong could only follow Yan Kai's instructions and tie the strange pine cones to the tree.

Although it would be strange to see pine cones on these trees that are not pine trees, who would pay special attention to this?

These are all infrared alarms that Yan Kai bought from the mall.

Although the range is only a few meters, if pirates attack in large numbers, even after they land on the beach at night, they must go to a path.

So he just needs to control these intersections.

These alarms can also be timed and will turn on at night. If a large creature enters the range, it will make a loud sound.

He will also ask Chun Yuzhen to send people to take turns here. As long as the pirates can be discovered one step ahead, he feels that with Chun Yuzhen and the others, it will be enough for him to get some civilian armed forces.

Anyway, the crossbow machine is easy to operate, and there is no problem in training dozens of young people to use it.

As long as we make more crossbows, if the pirates really come too many, let Chun Yuzhen give some crossbows to these young men, and they can be heard dozens of meters away.

I just don’t know when the pirates will come.

However, the pirates did not come, but the people from Chang'an and Dengzhou came first.

The people from Chang'an brought ten embroidery workers and weavers and Yan Kai's money from selling Hexiang beads and the hundreds of kilograms of fine iron he wanted.

Chun Yunan, the governor of Dengzhou, made great achievements by killing hundreds of pirates and taking dozens of prisoners under his leadership, and also sent hundreds of kilograms of pig iron.

Asking Sister Axiu and Aniang to settle the weavers first, Yan Kai's eyes gleamed as he looked at the iron ingots.

I can buy iron from the mall, but it's hard to explain.

Now that I have these fine irons, it helps a lot.

Opening the live broadcast room, Yan Kai said: "Family members, now the anchor has a lot of fine iron. The armor plan that was solicited from everyone some time ago has also been finalized."

“But what I want to show you today is a four-hole wire drawing machine!”

Many netizens in the live broadcast room were confused.

"Anchor, what are you doing behind our backs again?"

"Yeah, when was this four-hole wire drawing machine made? Why didn't we know?"

"Hehe," Yan Kai smiled proudly: "This thing was developed by our craftsmen ourselves. When I found out, they had almost finished it!"

This is not a lie. It turns out that Yan Kai and the craftsmen had pulled wire before. At that time, they felt that it was too strenuous to pull with human or animal power.

The craftsmen of the Zheng family had originally built a waterwheel for Yan Kai, so they proposed using a waterwheel to pull it.

Then a few craftsmen started trying to make it when they had free time. Unexpectedly, it was actually made for them.

Yan Kai has always felt that it was not that ancient Chinese craftsmen did not have the ability to innovate, but that their ability was often constrained.

This time the craftsmen at home gave him a surprise.

When he came to the river, he pointed to a two-meter-high machine and said: "Look, everyone, this is the first hydraulic four-hole wire drawing machine independently developed by Datang. It can pull out four wires at a time!"

"The two-meter water wheel will drive the connecting rod crank, and the rope will be tied to the crank, and the end will be a pair of pliers."

"Our master craftsmen only need to use these pliers to clamp one end of the iron wire, and then they can use water power to pull out the iron wire!"

You must know that before the Ming Dynasty, ancient Chinese craftsmen had only one way to make iron wire: forging.

Therefore, mail armor is a very precious kind of armor in China.

"How's it going? Family members? I want to see how this thing pulls the buckle of the wire!"

Everyone in the live broadcast room responded one after another.

So Yan Kai did it himself. The pulling force behind the thing was all hydraulic. He only had to keep the wire clamped by the pliers from slipping out. He didn't use much force.

The craftsman in front burned the pig iron until it was red, forged a small point to pass through the cast iron with holes, and then opened it up to clamp it.

As the crank rotates, the wire clamped by Yan Kai's pliers stretches longer and longer with a hint of red fire!

Many netizens in the live broadcast room used close-ups to watch the red-hot pig iron being stretched into threads, and they immediately felt comfortable!
