Chapter 28: Give him the materials, teach him to make explosives!

Xiao Qidi hurriedly nodded, he really wanted it!

Ning Jinli then said: "Then you pardon the Patrol Guard Captain, and don't punish the other patrol guards, and certainly don't kill them."

Xiao Qidi raised his eyebrows, "Who said I wanted to kill them?"

"Then you just said it was still necessary to give a warning, isn't that……"

"A warning, it doesn't have to involve killing."

"Huh? What does that mean."

Ning Jinli couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Xiao Qidi looked at the Patrol Guard Captain kneeling on the ground, "Get up, remember this time it was Jinli Fairy who saved your life."

"Yes…… His Majesty!"

The Patrol Guard Captain kowtowed to Ning Jinli, then rose.

Next, Xiao Qidi gave him an order—

"Block the news of enemy corpses found here, arrange personnel, secretly clean up."

"Also, pick out some dismembered bodies, tidy them up for display, and at the same time tell everyone these are traitors who defected to the enemy, exposed by informants, and I have executed them. The informants have merit and will receive an extra can of meat."

Hearing this, Ning Jinli frowned slightly.

This warning method is quite clever, but aren't you afraid it might lead someone to frame others for a can of meat?

Seventy thousand people……

Even if most soldiers and civilians are simple and kind, there are still a few with ill intentions.

She was about to remind him.

Xiao Qidi continued: "Finally, it must be emphasized that if an informant makes false accusations, once discovered, they will also be punished as traitors."

Ning Jinli breathed a sigh of relief; this was right, his thinking was still quite thorough.

"Your humble servant, I obey!" The Patrol Guard Captain immediately sprang into action.

"Miss Ning, are you at ease now?" Xiao Qidi looked at Ning Jinli.

"Great!" Ning Jinli gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Qidi's eyes unconsciously flashed a hint of pride after being praised, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, and on his handsome, peerless face, the gloomy aura dissipated a bit.

Under this blue sky and bright sun, Ning Jinli seemed to catch a glimpse of a sunny, cheerful young man for a moment.

However, it was only a moment.

"Right, where is that Black Water?" Ning Jinli remembered another important matter.

Xiao Qidi summoned a patrol guard to lead the way.

Having just been busy with the dismembered bodies, he hadn't yet gone to inspect the Black Water.

The patrol guard led the two of them over several piles of rubble, and at the far end distant from the underground water outlet, pointed to a huge fissure in the mountain and said: "His Majesty, Fairy, this is the place."

Black liquid was seeping out of the fissure.

It had already gathered into a small patch, black and shiny, quite viscous.

Xiao Qidi crouched beside it, dipped a finger in, rubbed it between his fingertips, then brought it to his nose to smell; instantly his eyes lit up.

"This is stone fat water. It resembles water, is black and shiny, and viscous like fat."

"I have seen it before; where it appears, locals use it in place of lamp oil, or for cooking fires—it's a good thing."

Hearing this, the patrol guard who was leading the way rejoiced.

He quickly said, "His Majesty, will we be able to eat hot food from now on?"

Xiao Qidi nodded, "Looks like there must be more underground, and it leaked out due to the cave blasting."

"Stone fat water……" Ning Jinli's pupils contracted.

She had seen it in ancient books.

This seems to be an ancient name for petroleum from over two thousand years ago!

And it looks just like petroleum!

Could she have guessed right?

"May I take a sample?" she asked, suppressing her excitement.

She wanted to take it back to have a professional agency test it.

If it really is petroleum, that would be huge!

Xiao Qidi hesitated not at all, and generously said: "Thanks to Miss Ning's assistance, this substance has flowed out; not just a sample, even if you wanted it all, it would be fine."

Afterwards, Ning Jinli scooped some into a disposable cup and brought it back to the factory.

She had Xiao Qidi come over and handed him the newly bought mobile phone.

And she told him that this device has a calling function similar to a walkie-talkie, but it requires a signal base station.

It can't be used on his side.

But if he comes here to find her in the future, and even if she's not at the factory, he can use the mobile phone to contact her anytime.

Xiao Qidi's learning ability is extremely strong; he quickly learned how to make phone calls with the mobile phone.

"Besides calling, you can also watch videos." Ning Jinli continued the demonstration, "I've downloaded a real-life demonstration video of explosive formulation; you can follow it when the time comes."

The mobile phone has too many functions; first teach him the ones most useful.

Xiao Qidi held the mobile phone, his eyes fixed on the changing images on the screen, his pupils almost overflowing with astonishment.

After holding back for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Is there a live person inside the mobile phone?"

Ning Jinli laughed doubled over, "Hahaha! No, no, they're just recordings—using some method you don't yet understand to record past scenes, stored here, viewable anytime."

Xiao Qidi nodded, still a bit dazed.

Ning Jinli thought for a moment, then said: "The materials for making explosives are three: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. The first two I still have several tons stocked in my factory's warehouse, and I've already bought plenty of charcoal."

I originally planned to send all of it over to you, but considering the danger of explosives, I'll just give you a little for now; once you've learned to handle it proficiently over there, I'll send the rest.

This stuff has to be handled carefully.

If we send it all over and something goes wrong, the whole Lin Xian Village could be wiped out.

So she only took a total of about half a catty of raw materials to give to Xiao Qidi.

She repeatedly emphasized, be absolutely sure to pay attention to safety, and definitely watch the video thoroughly before proceeding.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Ning." Xiao Qidi said solemnly, "I have personally witnessed the power of explosives; I will naturally be extra careful."

After Xiao Qidi left.

Ning Jinli didn't even have time to catch her breath; she immediately went online to buy a civilian drone.

She picked the best one, with long endurance and capable of night video recording.

First, order a hundred of them.

"Um... then there's steel rebar and cement; let's look for factories around here."

Ning Jinli sat in the warehouse, busily handling her phone.

She quickly found a manufacturer and promptly made a bulk purchase!

While at it, she contacted the supplier of shovels and spades from last time, placed another order, and also ordered several thousand handcarts.

With these basic farming tools, in the near future it will be convenient for the soldiers and civilians of Lin Xian Village to build concrete walls, and later they can reclaim land for farming—killing two birds with one stone.

"By the way, those civilians still lack clothes and shoes……"

"Although it's midsummer and we don't need to worry about staying warm, everyone is scantily clothed, making work prone to injury."

Ning Jinli then prepared to place another purchase order.

Suddenly she thought, the factory has a section for daily goods production.

This factory is huge; since she inherited it, there are still many places she hasn't visited.

Maybe the warehouse in the daily goods production area also has stockpiles!

She immediately got into her newly bought Mercedes G-Class and headed straight for that warehouse.

After ten or so minutes, she arrived at the daily goods production area; just as she got out of the car, a phone call came in.

She casually answered, and instantly Ning Yao's sharp roar rang in her ear: "Ning Jinli! You're going too far! What exactly do you mean?!"
