New Ming Empire mixed in America

Send the operating instructions for these basic lathes to Zhang Yu, the only literate blacksmith, and ask him to study them on his own.

Anyway, there are pictures and explanations above. After a few more experiments, I will definitely be more professional than Li Mingqi.

In fact, there is no way to let these 33 blacksmiths figure it out on their own. There is really no talent, let alone talent, there are only two literate people.

As for those foreigners, Li Mingqi would not let them have access to these lathes.

If their inspiration breaks out and the West becomes stronger, His Majesty the Emperor will have no place to cry.

Okay, no more explanation. What’s wrong with Li Mingqi just not trusting those foreigners?

I am the True Dragon Emperor, so what if I am willful?

But it’s not appropriate to just read the instructions to these blacksmiths, after all, they are all in simplified Chinese.

Li Mingqi then provided them with a Xinhua dictionary. It had pinyin and annotations, as well as a comparison of traditional and simplified fonts.

In the final analysis, we still need to eliminate illiteracy, and at least let these craftsmen learn some mathematical knowledge.

His Majesty the Emperor has decided that everyone in the Xinming Empire will be literate every night from now on, and he will teach them himself!

Just as Li Mingqi was searching for teaching materials in his mind, a guard in Jinyi hurried to the tent door to report.

"Long live something happened, someone died at the kiln!"

After hearing the bad news, Li Mingqi became anxious, opened the tent curtain and walked out.

Before the person went out, he asked: "What's going on? Are those foreign devils causing trouble?"

Hearing what His Majesty the Emperor said, the four henchmen guarding the door immediately pulled out the pistols on their waists.

Yesterday, Li Mingqi arranged for the few craftsmen in the empire who had ever fired porcelain to find a place to build a kiln and make bricks.

In the evening, those people reported that they had chosen a location and had taken local workers to dig soil to build the kiln this morning.

As soon as Jin Yiwei said that someone was dead, he suspected that foreign devils were causing trouble and killed his own people.

Mmp, this is absolutely intolerable. If it is true that foreign devils killed people from the empire, then no matter what, a few foreign devils must be killed today to show them what it means to kill chickens to scare monkeys!

Even if today’s California soldiers are better than those California desert special forces in later generations who were killed by Japanese ‘jounin’ swords and injured another person with hidden weapons!!!

"Long live my lord, those foreign...foreign devils didn't cause trouble. It was the foreign devils who dug the kilns who were buried in the soil."

Jin Yiwei finally explained what happened.

After listening, Li Mingqi's expression suddenly relaxed.

He returned to his lazy demeanor and said: "Next time you will report directly to the key points. The wording must be concise and to the point, so that people can understand the whole story at once. Do you understand?"

"By the way, none of our people are buried down there, right?"

The Jin Yiwei who reported the news replied: "Go back to Lord Long Live, our people are fine. A total of six foreign devils have been buried in the ground."

This guy learned very quickly. When His Majesty the Emperor said foreign devils, he immediately understood what the foreign devils meant and followed suit.

"That's it. There's no need to worry. I guess other foreign devils have already rushed over to save people by now."

"Long live my lord, not only are the foreign devils gone, Master Liu has also brought people to help. It was Master Liu who asked me to come over and report."

As he spoke, His Majesty the Emperor led the henchmen out of the camp.

Through the telescope, one can see a group of figures moving in the distance in the direction of the brick kiln.

At this time, a group of workers were beginning to save people under the command of the foreman. From their constant shouting and shouting, it was easy to tell that the few workers buried in the ground were probably fine.

Sure enough, by the time Li Mingqi swayed and led his thugs toward the scene of the incident, the buried worker had already been rescued.

Six people covered in mud lay more than fifty meters away from the collapse site.

Others also stayed away from the collapse, and several workers even knelt on the ground holding crosses and praying loudly.

When Li Mingqi got close to within a hundred meters, he knew why those people did what they did.

A pungent smell has spread, and as it gets closer, the smell becomes stronger and stronger. The strange thing is that he seems to have smelled this smell somewhere.

After walking a few more steps, Li Mingqi suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face became solemn.

"Quick, go over and ask Lao Liu to take our people and evacuate immediately. Tell him that there is danger in that place!"

After giving the instructions, His Majesty the Emperor turned around and ran away.

He finally smelled what the smell was. It was natural gas!

If they don't run away, if some idiot sparks a spark, all of these people will probably be doomed.

Forgive Li Mingqi's lack of knowledge, there are still many people in the 21st century who do not understand the various characteristics of natural gas, and he is one of them.

So when you are not sure whether danger will occur, it is absolutely right to run first.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor start to run away, the thugs quickly followed him.

As for the captured Jin Yiwei, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Liu Youcai's position.

While running, he kept shouting: "Master Liu, take our people and run quickly, it's dangerous! Master Liu..."

Liu Youcai was having a heated argument with Joyce through a translator. He was stunned when he heard Jin Yiwei's shout.

After hearing this clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly called on the soldiers of the National Defense Force who had just helped rescue people to run away. As for the foreign devils, he automatically ignored them.

Joyce was not a fool. After seeing Liu Youcai leading people to run away, he also ran as fast as he could.

Fear is contagious, and so is running away.

After Liu Youcai ran away, the workers also started running away one after another.

No one was stupid. The pungent smell came out of nowhere. Several people became dizzy after the rescue, forcing them to retreat to their current location.

Now seeing those Easterners starting to evacuate shows that they obviously know something.

If you don't run, why are you waiting? So a group of people started running while shouting.

The scene was a mess, similar to that of the defeated and retreating Imperial Army.

Even the six unlucky ones who had been rescued got up and moved outward little by little, hoping to get away from where they were just now.

After running for more than three hundred meters, Li Mingqi had to stop.

I really can't run anymore. Running for three hundred meters is my limit.

He sat down on the ground and looked at the evacuation scene in the distance. He was still feeling frightened.

If it is a natural gas mine, it will definitely be a disaster if it is ignited and left nearby.

It's so exciting. Why did those bastards dig out natural gas?

In his previous life, he didn't even pay attention to whether there were natural gas resources in Los Angeles. He only knew that there was oil here through occasional reading on the Internet.

"Long...Long live my lord, have you...hehe, have you dug up an ancient tomb with zombies in it?"

Liu Youcai ran back and started asking questions before he could catch his breath, his pale old face full of fear.

The faces of the National Defense Force soldiers who had just returned began to turn pale after hearing Liu Youcai's words.

"What ancient tomb? That's natural gas. If you suck in too much, you'll die!" His Majesty the Emperor's face was now as black as the bottom of a pot.

This was because Liu Youcai was so angry!

"As long as it's not an ancient tomb, I thought..." Liu Youcai breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Is natural gas similar to biogas?"

"I've heard that methane gas is poisonous. If you smell it too much, you'll feel dizzy. In severe cases, you'll die on the spot. I just don't know why there is this marsh gas here."

Before Li Mingqi could tell him the difference between the two, Joyce also ran back.

"Did we dig into the entrance to hell? It's terrible. The smell makes it hard to breathe. It's definitely the devil's breath!"

"No, I have to leave here. Not only does this damn place have ropes that can emit thunder and lightning, but there are also devils living there. It's really scary."

Come on, two old superstitions are coming together.

Li Mingqi was really too lazy to explain. He simply pretended not to hear and turned his head to one side.
