Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Chapter 272 Fire Thunder Bead

Murong Qin closed her eyes, tears silently sliding down her cheeks. She recalled every little detail of her time with Xuan Zhentian, the past intertwined with sweetness and quarrels, happiness and pain, which now became the deepest pain in her heart. She once thought that she could hate him forever, but at this moment, she found that she couldn't do it at all.

"Chen'er, you've grown up and become sensible." Murong Qin opened her eyes and looked at her son, with both relief and guilt in her eyes. "Mother has been immersed in her own pain all these years and ignored your feelings. In fact, I miss him too and want to see him for the last time."

''Morning''

There was a hint of determination and helplessness in Murong Qin's voice. She was well aware of the complexity of the current situation. As a deposed queen, her appearance in front of the emperor would only cause more trouble and disputes.

She didn't want her son Xuan Yuchen's future to be affected by her existence, and she didn't want him to bear unnecessary burdens on the road to becoming the emperor.

"Mother..." Xuan Yuchen wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back when it came to his lips. He understood his mother's painstaking efforts, and also felt her deep helplessness and sacrifice. He knew that his mother was protecting him in her own way, so that he could walk on the road to the future with peace of mind.

"Chen'er, be obedient." Murong Qin emphasized again, "Don't come to this Buddhist temple anymore.

"Mother..." Xuan Yuchen's eyes were slightly red, and he felt an unprecedented heartache surge in his heart.

"Go out!" Murongqin's voice became a little choked, but she still tried to stay calm and strong. She didn't want her son to see her vulnerable side, and she didn't want him to be affected by her emotions.

Xuan Yuchen looked at his mother deeply, then slowly turned around.

The moment he left the Buddhist temple, Xuan Yuchen secretly vowed that he must become a wise and powerful emperor and make his mother proud of him.

Chuanzhou Jiangjia Base

"Chief, this black 'Fire Thunder Bead' contains a powerful force of gunpowder. Once detonated, the power is enough to shake the mountains and rivers. As for the long pole, it has a resounding name - 'Fire Gun'. It combines long-range shooting technology. I carefully built it based on the drawings you provided and the existing materials."

Jiang Xue rubbed her head, which felt a little dizzy due to the tension and fatigue of the past few days, and recalled her experiences in the past ten days, feeling mixed emotions.

Zhang Ping, this seemingly ordinary yet mysterious man, is like a genius descended from the sky.

She originally just wanted to take out the semi-finished firearms she bought from the space storage device, hoping to find a new way of self-defense in the other world, but she didn't expect that Zhang Ping could complete the assembly in a short time with only the scattered parts she left, and even innovate on this basis.

What surprised Jiang Xue even more was that Zhang Ping was able to make a simple version of the "gun" using bamboo, a seemingly fragile natural material, despite the scarcity of materials.

Although he himself called it "garbage", the ingenuity and craftsmanship were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but start to wonder whether Zhang Ping was really a disciple of some hidden master, or a genius with extraordinary wisdom.

"Zhang Ping, you... you are really a genius." Jiang Xue finally couldn't help but speak out her feelings. "These things are all high-tech products, requiring sophisticated instruments and complex processes to manufacture. And you, with just your hands and wisdom, can achieve such a level, it's really unbelievable."

Zhang Ping just smiled faintly when he heard this, his eyes gleaming with confidence and light. "I may not be a genius, but I have a strong interest in the combination of machinery and spiritual power. These are just some small attempts in my spare time."

"But Chief, I really need more drawings for in-depth research and study! Although these drawings are precious, I feel that I can master them in a shorter time, and I believe that with more drawings, I can bring more innovations and breakthroughs to the tribe." Zhang Ping's eyes were full of desire and expectation.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She was infected by Zhang Ping's enthusiasm and persistence. "You are such a research maniac! Well, since you are so confident, I will give you ten more drawings. However, the complexity of these drawings is much higher than the previous ones, so you have to be mentally prepared."

As she spoke, Jiang Xue took out a thick stack of blueprints from her bosom and handed them to Zhang Ping. These blueprints showed various strange mechanical structures and complex spiritual power circuits, which were obviously precious materials she had carefully selected.

"Oh, I knew that the clan leader was the best to me!" Zhang Ping took the blueprint and his eyes lit up immediately, as if he had obtained some rare treasure. He hurriedly thanked Jiang Xue and promised to come up with results as soon as possible.

Jiang Xue looked at Zhang Ping's excitement and felt very relieved. "Go ahead. I know you are a capable person. These drawings and 100,000 points are my trust and investment in your ability. I hope you can bring me more surprises when I come back."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping nodded solemnly, then bowed to Jiang Xue, and turned away impatiently, ready to engage in a new round of research.

Jiang Xue looked at Zhang Ping's departing back and shook her head gently, feeling both anticipation and emotion in her heart.

Jiang Xue put all the fire thunder beads that she had been studying in the past few days into the space and walked out of the courtyard.

......

"Chief, how long will you be away this time?" There was a hint of concern and curiosity in Li Da's voice.

Jiang Xue stopped, turned around, and looked at Li Da with deep eyes. "I can't be sure of the exact time, but I will complete the mission and return as soon as possible. During this time, the base and the people of Jiangjia Village will be handed over to you, Li Da."

Li Da's expression became serious and firm after hearing this. "Don't worry, Chief. Since we joined the Jiang Clan, we have considered ourselves as a member of the Jiang Clan. I will do my best to protect the base and the people of the clan and wait for your return."

Jiang Xue looked at Li Da's resolute face and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Okay, I feel at ease with you around." Jiang Xue nodded, then turned around again and walked out with big strides.

......

"Miss!" Chen Yuxi's voice was filled with excitement and joy. She had stood at the gate of the base early, staring at the road in the distance, expecting the familiar figure to appear. Finally, when she saw Jiang Xue slowly approaching, she couldn't help but call out softly.

Jiang Xue turned around when she heard the voice and saw Chen Yuxi running towards her. A gentle smile appeared on her face. "Xi'er, why are you here so early?"

Chen Yuxi ran to Jiang Xue, stopped, and said with a slight breath: "Miss, Xier is worried about you."
