Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1542: Following the Army to the Huns

Chu Chen smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he led Dong Shilan forward.

After receiving the report, Lu Jixing immediately dispatched a team of soldiers to separate Chu Chen and Dong Shilan from the ordinary people and protect their safety.

What a joke! If Dong Shilan were to encounter any mishap in her own Seoul, she and the entire Lu family would face annihilation.

Looking at the separated crowd, Dong Shilan felt a surge of anger and was about to curse when Chu Chen stopped her.

"Sister, now that you've said that, Lu Jixing is in a difficult position."

Dong Shilan knew exactly what Chu Chen meant, and could only sigh helplessly: "Let's go back, let's go back and have some fun, there's nothing interesting here anymore."

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this: "I believe that in my lifetime, even if I see my sister walking down the street, no one will harm you."

Dong Shilan nodded, clearly not having much faith in Chu Chen's hopes.

After returning to the mansion, the two spent a pleasant morning.

Five days later, Dong Shilan personally led a group of people, using carriages and horses to transport all the modern weapons that Chu Chen had created, and embarked on the road back to the capital.

After Dong Shilan left, Chu Chen locked himself in the arsenal.

There was no other reason than that he was going to fight the Xiongnu after the New Year, so a good set of armor and a good chariot were the foundation for his survival.

Since there are no good materials, forget about bulletproof vests and the like.

Ultimately, he consulted with Tito and commissioned the creation of a lightweight chainmail that could protect him from swords.

Because of their mastery of advanced steel technology, this chainmail should be impervious to attacks from the Huns.

After finalizing the armor, Chu Chen began to consider the manufacture of the chariot.

Since there was no power source and no engine could be manufactured, it remained a horse-drawn carriage.

However, the entire chariot and the horses had to be made of sturdy materials.

After selecting two horses with great endurance, he built a carriage out of sheet metal. Unlike the carriages he usually used, this time Chu Chen used the horses as the power source and used the speed difference between the gears to create a hybrid vehicle.

Horses only provide the power to make a large flywheel spin.

Others use flywheels and gears to move horses, and utilize the principle of a multi-speed bicycle to make it easier for the horses to move.

It can speed along flat roads and climb hills effortlessly.

After finishing all this, it was already the end of the year.

Chu Chen did not spend the New Year in Seoul, but instead returned to Liexi Village with Pang Hu, Niu Zi, and Gou Shengzi.

Chu Chen was very satisfied when he returned this time. The originally difficult mountain road had been replaced by a wide gravel road.

Chu Chen's carriage, laden with supplies, returned easily to Liexi Village. Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the villagers, he led everyone through a prosperous New Year.

They then returned directly to Seoul.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Tang Yun led a group of soldiers to Chu Chen's courtyard.

"Sir, the expedition against the Xiongnu is in seven days. His Majesty has ordered us to come and fetch Mr. Chu, and also to request some ammunition."

"So soon? It seems His Majesty is rather impatient."

Chu Chen joked as he led Tang Yun directly into the arsenal.

After delivering enough bullets and settling the bill, Chu Chen had Fatty Tiger lead out his carriage, then had Gou Shengzi drive it, while he himself, carrying enough supplies and his chainmail, set off for the north.

Gou Shengzi, who was driving the carriage, was also wearing a set of chainmail, which made Tang Yun's eyes full of envy.

"Mr. Chu, this armor of yours should be able to stop bullets, right?"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this: "A weapon that I made myself can only be controlled by myself."

That's right, Chu Chen bragged to him.

Keep in mind that these people haven't shot at you yet, but you can't be too careful. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Even a single soldier who wants to kill you could put you in danger.

This is also why he created chainmail and chariots.

While it can't stop machine gun bullets, the high-quality steel I forged myself can easily stop pistols and submachine guns.

The army marched at breakneck speed, and after arriving at the expeditionary camp outside the capital, there were still two days left before the expedition.

Inside the camp, countless soldiers equipped with modern weapons were ready to go.

These people were clearly trained; after witnessing the power of the weapon, they all showed relaxed expressions on their faces.

Chu Chen's arrival caused the soldiers to crane their necks, each wanting to see the Grand Preceptor who had made their battles easier.

Tang Yun, not wanting to discourage the soldiers, directly pulled Chu Chen, who was wearing armor, onto the high platform.

For a time, the slogans of "Great Song Dynasty is mighty! Grand Preceptor is mighty!" persisted for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before finally stopping.

"My lords..."

Chu Chen's humble yet inspiring speech made these people eager to rush into the Xiongnu camp and annihilate the Xiongnu foreign tribes that had been harassing the border for years.

That night, Chu Chen went directly to Dong Shilan's study.

They didn't say a word upon meeting, but instead had a conversation on the table where Dong Shilan was reviewing memorials.

It took a full hour before the two of them, fully dressed, sat facing each other.

"Brother, how long do you think it will take us to defeat the Xiongnu this time?"

"Six months, six months is enough."

In fact, the Xiongnu people were not scary, and they did not harbor any hatred towards the Song state. On the contrary, the two countries even traded with each other.

The most important factor was the Xiongnu imperial power, which was too ambitious and wanted to annex the rich land of the Song state.

Dong Shilan nodded in agreement.

Then he asked another question: "After defeating the Xiongnu, I think we should go out to sea and wipe out those small countries across the sea. On the other hand, we should set off from the west. I believe that within three years, the entire area surrounding the Song Kingdom will completely submit to the Song Kingdom."

Chu Chen had no objection to Dong Shilan's plans. After all, the goal was to unify the world, and it didn't matter where it started; it was all about conquest.

"Alright, after the trip to the Xiongnu, I will take you to build a large ship and go to sea."

With Chu Chen's support, Dong Shilan was particularly excited, and so... the table that was used to review memorials bore a weight it shouldn't have had to bear.

Two days later, Dong Shilan looked at the soldiers below the platform.

After some encouragement, with her command to set off, the entire team departed and headed directly north.

Chu Chen lay leisurely in the carriage, looking at the two beautiful maids accompanying him. He immediately felt that Dong Shilan was very thoughtful, fearing that his journey was long.

"You two, get into the carriage."
