Chapter 178

Research in biology made electricity applied to the field of biomedical science, and many instruments relying on electricity to save lives appeared.

Research in dynamics led to the appearance of new fuel engines in the Great Yan territory, gradually replacing the previous steam engines, increasing the speed of railway operations to 90 km/h.

Research in explosives made...

Qin Mu scanned the entire Blue Star and felt somewhat emotional.

Even after Yan left...

The overall development rhythm of Blue Star did not slow down at all.

Imperial Mausoleum.

At this time, the ministers of the Ministry of Works and the researchers of the Great Yan Research Institute were solemn.

Standing in front of Yan's tomb.

Awarding this year's Great Yan Award to five people.

"Reporting to Your Majesty: The final winners of the Fourth Great Yan Award have been selected, specifically coming to report to Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Works bowed to the tomb.

And said in a deep voice: "The winner of the Economics Award is Han Gangfeng, who deeply studied the economic development laws of the Great Yan Kingdom for over a hundred years and summarized the invisible hand of macro-control..."

"The winner of the Mathematics Award is..."

"The winner of the Chemistry Award is..."

"The winner of the Biology Award is..."

"The winner of the Physics Award is the alchemist, Nicholas Grie, who researched nitroglycerin, opening a brand-new weapon era for the physics research of the Great Yan Kingdom..."

Every time the Minister of Works mentioned an award.

He would explain the reason for their election.

When he talked about the Physics Award...

He couldn't help but become excited.

Nicholas Grie is not a commoner of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Decades ago.

Along with the conquest of the alchemy civilization, he became a prisoner and joined the Great Yan Kingdom.

Becoming a prisoner of the Great Yan Kingdom.

He had to maintain high-intensity labor every day to get food.

But over these years...

The seventy-year-old Nicholas Grie, in his spare time from labor, actually became fascinated by the three volumes of the Heavenly Book.

Especially the "Physics Volume" among them.

Because...

The Physics Volume has the same effect as their alchemy.

Alchemy is the study of the mysteries of alchemy between heaven and earth to obtain powerful strength.

While the "Physics Volume" in the Heavenly Book is the study of the mysteries in technology.

Discovering powerful strength from it and utilizing it.

Even in experiments, there are similarities.

The talented Nicholas Grie soon found interest in the "Physics Volume".

Studying and researching day and night.

At the same time.

Upon learning that prisoners who had previously studied the three volumes of the Heavenly Book had their prisoner status exempted as an exception...

Nicholas Grie became even more excited.

Every day after labor ended.

He would return to his house and tinker with those physics things.

In order to study physics.

He even used many instruments he used when studying alchemy.

It's just that...

What was carried in the instruments was no longer transcendent energy.

But those physical and chemical drugs.

Finally.

After decades of research.

His attainments in physics became deeper and deeper, and he also achieved more and more astonishing research results.

Among which the most important research result...

Was that he discovered a composite drug.

Nitroglycerin!

This substance is completely different from gunpowder and belongs to medicine in medical science.

At critical moments, it can cure diseases and save lives.

But through his continuous experiments, he found that this drug...

Once subjected to great force, or ignited, it will cause a huge explosion.

The power of the explosion far exceeds gunpowder!

And by continuously increasing the purity, the power can also be continuously increased.

Subsequently.

He submitted his research results to "Great Yan Science" and published them.

It soon caused a shock throughout the Great Yan Kingdom.

The Great Yan Research Institute even came in person to invite him to join the institute!

As for the prisoner status...

It was naturally exempted by the Ministry of Revenue and specifically granted the status of a citizen of the Great Yan Kingdom!

"Your Majesty, the war on the front line is tight now, I believe that with nitroglycerin, it will be easy for the Great Yan Army to conquer the three civilization worlds!"

The Minister of Works took a deep breath and kowtowed to the tomb.

Behind him.

The five people who won the Great Yan Award were also extremely devout.

Kneeling before Yan's tomb.

As for the last military merit award of the Great Yan Award...

Over these years, no one has ever won it.

Before Yan passed away, he left an edict.

Without the merit of destroying the world, one cannot be awarded the military merit award!

And over these years.

Xu Shi and Shen Xuanyi led the Great Yan Army to expedition to other worlds, but they had not made any breakthrough progress.

Therefore, for twenty years, not a single person has received this award.

Subsequently.

After the five people kowtowed, the people from the Ministry of Works and the Great Yan Research Institute walked out.

And began to award the highest honor of the Great Yan Kingdom to the five people.

The five Great Yan Award winners were excited and overjoyed.

Expressing one after another that they must continue to work hard, research more and more advanced scientific theories, and improve the combat power of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Great Yan Calendar, year 120.

One year after the Fourth Great Yan Award was promulgated.

The technological level of the Great Yan Kingdom...

Had improved by another obvious level.

In order to compete for the Great Yan Award, the scientific theories accumulated over five years...

Were successively digested by the Great Yan Kingdom and applied in various fields.

The appearance of nitroglycerin further promoted the revolution of the new generation of weapon era in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Old gunpowder was gradually phased out.

This high-explosive can even kill fifth-rank transcendent creatures.

As long as the concentration is sufficient and the quantity is sufficient, sixth-rank creatures can also be attempted.

After confirming the huge role of nitroglycerin.

The Ministry of Works issued a death order.

Letting the national military industry department step up the production of new weapons, all to support the front line.

At this time...

The role of the Great Yan Kingdom's manufacturing capability was reflected.

Under the condition that various industrial systems were extremely complete.

A large number of weapons were manufactured, continuously transported to other worlds.

The Great Yan Army, which was on an expedition to other worlds, finally began to update its weapon equipment.

Great Yan Calendar, year 121.

Card World.

In this world, they are all card cultivators.

They master the power of cards, and the power is quite strange.

The types of cards are varied and strange.

The power is extremely great.

The most powerful creature reached the fifth rank.

Over these twenty years.

The Great Yan Army in this world suffered extremely heavy casualties.

And had not made any breakthroughs.

In the commander's tent.

Xu Shi, who was over seventy years old, looked at the new weapon equipment transported by logistics and sighed endlessly.

"Finally, there are new weapons!"

From the time he was young.

He had fought in the south and north, and followed Yan to conquer many other worlds.

But when facing the Card World...

He hit a wall everywhere.

The reason is none other than that this world has fifth-rank creatures!

They master transcendent card power.

All the weapons of the Great Yan Army are not enough to cause damage to them!

Every time they were about to attack and win...

Fifth-rank creatures would rush out and cause huge damage to them.

Forcing them to temporarily retreat to the Great Yan Kingdom.

Just because of this...

He had been attacking for twenty years.

And had not conquered the Card World.

But this time...

With updated weapons.

He had confidence that within five years, he would definitely be able to take down this world!

"All generals, listen to the order, prepare to lay out, first find a way to kill the fifth-rank card cultivators!"

Subsequently.

Xu Shi took a deep breath, summoned the generals, and discussed the matter of a large-scale invasion.

Great Yan Calendar, year 122.

The Great Yan Army, which had obtained new weapons, launched a full-scale attack on the Card World.

They set up a strategy.

And buried a huge amount of nitroglycerin explosives.

Blowing up more than ten fifth-rankers.

Shocking the entire card civilization.

At this moment.

All card cultivators became panicked and hurriedly organized an army to resist.

Great Yan Calendar, year 124.

Under the leadership of Xu Shi.

The Great Yan Army captured cities and lands, killed countless card cultivators, and defeated the main force of the Card World's resistance army in one fell swoop.

And proclaimed to the remaining card cultivators, advising them to surrender.

Finally.

The Card World completely gave up resistance and declared surrender.

Hundreds of thousands of card cultivators became prisoners and were escorted back to the Great Yan Kingdom.

As for the terrifying level of fifth-rank card cultivators...

They were all killed by the Great Yan Army.

Lasting more than twenty years.

Xu Shi finally conquered the Card World!

The news soon spread back to the Great Yan Kingdom.

The whole country was shocked and cheered!

Since Yan passed away.

They...

Had not heard the news of victory for too long!

"Under the whole heaven, is there any land that is not the king's land! On the shores of the land, is there any subject that is not the king's subject! Do not say that you were not warned!"

"Your Majesty, can your spirit in heaven see this? We have not dared to forget your last wish for a moment!"

"There are two more worlds, continue to attack! Continue to conquer!"

"Old Xu has the merit of destroying the world, can the Great Yan Military Merit Award for next year be evaluated?"

"..."

All the common people were immersed in an atmosphere of joy.

Enthusiastically discussing the conquest of the card civilization.

And the Minister of War, Xu Shi...

After leading the army back.

He went to Yan's tomb at the first opportunity.

To report the war situation to Yan.

Finally.

Because his body was becoming increasingly old, he chose to retire to his hometown.

This year he...

Was already over seventy years old.

There were two more civilization worlds remaining...

He was already powerless.
