In Jingzhou, new weapons research and development and defense construction are in full swing, and every detail is related to the direction of future battles.

At this moment, Feng Yi's carefully constructed intelligence network played a key role. She was the first to find out the shocking news that Xue Tianhan and others were devoting themselves to the research of cement and Gatling.

The moment he heard this, Feng Yi's face suddenly changed, becoming as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

She suddenly stood up from her chair, her hands clenched into fists subconsciously, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, her eyes full of anger and deep worry.

"Xue Tianhan is really not content with the status quo. He is tinkering with these new things again!" She said gritting her teeth, her voice revealing uncontrollable hatred and uneasiness.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he too frowned, his expression grave. He paced back and forth in his tent, his steps hurried and heavy, his heart filled with confusion and worry: "I wonder what this cement is, and what kind of powerful weapon is this Gatling gun?"

Shi Potianjing hurried forward and explained in detail:

Cement is a powdered, hydraulic, inorganic cementitious material. Simply by adding water and stirring, it becomes a slurry. It not only gradually hardens in air, but also completes the hardening process even when placed in water, and can firmly bind materials such as sand and stone together.

If it is used to build a city wall, its strength would be unimaginable.

The Gatling gun, on the other hand, is a multi-barreled rotary machine gun that rapidly rotates multiple barrels to achieve continuous and rapid firing. Its firepower is so fierce that it can be called a killing weapon on the battlefield."

Cao Cao was stunned after hearing this, his face filled with shock and worry. "If this cement is truly developed, the walls of Jingzhou will become even more impregnable and difficult to breach. And those Gatling guns, if deployed on the battlefield, our casualties will likely increase dramatically."

In Sun Quan's camp, Tie Ma Bing He Ru Meng Lai received the news with a solemn expression. He stood there for a long time without saying a word. He knew that once these two new weapons were successfully developed, Liu Bei's forces would be greatly strengthened, and Sun Quan's camp would face an unprecedented threat.

Upon hearing this, the troublemaker flew into a rage. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Damn it! This is too much! No, we have to find a way quickly and we can't let them succeed!"

Mo Wen Hua Xie and Mo Wen Hua Kai exchanged a glance, a hint of anxiety flashing in their eyes. Mo Wen Hua Xie said worriedly, "This is troublesome. If their strength increases further, it will be even more difficult for us to retake Jingzhou."

Ice Seventeen gently stroked the Tengu, the cold light in his eyes becoming more and more fierce: "It seems that we need to speed up the training of the Tengu. At the critical moment, it must play a greater role."

After Feng Yi calmed down, she quickly began to plan a countermeasure. She urgently summoned the core members of Tianfeng Pavilion to gather together to discuss how to disrupt Xue Tianhan and others' research and development plan.

"We must not sit idly by and wait for death. We must send people to sneak into Jingzhou and destroy their experimental base, or find ways to steal their research data." Feng Yi said firmly with a firm look in his eyes.

Tie Ma Bing He Ru Meng Lai also immediately discussed with everyone in Sun Quan's camp to study countermeasures. He proposed to strengthen their own fortifications as soon as possible, and at the same time, to fully study how to effectively restrain Gatling.

"He Xue Tianhan actually thought of making a Gatling gun, so we can make bulletproof vests and stronger shields, or make a Barrett to launch attacks outside the range of the Gatling gun." Tie Ma Binghe Ru Meng analyzed in an orderly manner.

Cao Cao also didn't dare to slack off. He immediately increased his investment in weapons research and development, trying to find a weapon that could compete with the Gatling gun.

At the same time, he intensified his intelligence gathering efforts around Jingzhou, closely monitoring the research and development progress of Xue Tianhan and the others. He quickly posted a high-paying bounty mission in the player-only chat group, recruiting talented players and gathering assistance from players skilled in weapon development.

Soon, a player offered a new idea. One player, proficient in mechanical construction, proposed using existing firearms and spiritual power-driven technology to develop a movable spiritual power shield device.

This device can be quickly deployed on the battlefield to provide solid defense for soldiers, and can also resist the powerful firepower of Gatling guns through the blessing of spiritual power.

Cao Cao felt that this plan was extremely feasible, and immediately allocated a large amount of resources to let this player lead the team to fully carry out research and development.

At the same time, Shi Potianjing, relying on his in-depth understanding of weapons, searched the Internet for various advanced weapon modification plans, and combined with current materials and technologies, proposed upgrading and modifying existing muskets.

He planned to increase the range and firing rate of the musket, and incorporate spiritual elements to make it even more powerful.

Cao Cao approved the plan and arranged for the craftsmen to fully cooperate with the stone-breaking project.

Hua Dashao used his extensive connections to contact a master weapon refiner who had lived in seclusion for many years. This master was good at incorporating rare materials into weapons to improve their quality.

After Hua Dashao recommended him to Cao Cao, Cao Cao personally visited him and earnestly invited him to come out of retirement to create a batch of special grenades and artillery shells for the army, so that their explosive power and range could be significantly improved.

All forces are undercurrents due to the new research and development actions of Xue Tianhan and others, and a fierce contest over new weapons is about to begin.

Feng Yi quickly selected the three most capable disciples in Tianfeng Pavilion and made careful arrangements for them.

The three disguised themselves as ordinary refugees and sneaked into Jingzhou City. They carefully inquired about the location of the test base in the city. With their keen observation and excellent disguise skills, they finally found the test base located in the mountains outside Jingzhou City.

Late one night, the moonlight was as bright as water, and the three of them sneaked into the base quietly under the cover of darkness.

However, Xue Tianhan and others had been prepared and had set up numerous traps and spiritual alarm devices around the test base.

A disciple accidentally triggered the trap and was instantly tied up tightly by spiritual ropes.

Seeing this, the other two immediately launched an attack and started a fierce battle with the soldiers and monks guarding the test base.

After Xiao Qi noticed the commotion, he quickly came to support and subdued all three assassins with his superb magic.

On the Sun Quan camp side, Tiema Binghe Rumeng personally led the craftsmen to start the research and development of bulletproof vests, shields and Barrett.

They searched everywhere for special metal wires and tough fibers, and after countless experiments and improvements, they finally succeeded in producing several samples.

The bulletproof vest has been tested and can withstand the shooting of ordinary muskets, and also has a certain buffering effect on the attacks of Gatling guns; the shield is forged from thousands of years of cold iron, and is indestructible and can withstand huge impact forces.

However, the production of Barrett encountered some difficulties. The key rifling processing technology had not been broken through, and the craftsmen were in trouble.

At the same time, Xue Tianhan and others also noticed the unusual movements of various forces.

They accelerated the research and development of cement and Gatling, while strengthening the defense of Jingzhou City.

Xue Tianhan personally set up a powerful spiritual defense formation on the city wall, and Xiao Qi was responsible for training the soldiers so that they could master the use of new weapons.

An unprecedented war seems to be imminent, and all parties are making final preparations for the coming battle.

Xiao Qi escorted the three assassins to Xue Tianhan, who looked at them coldly with a sharp gaze: "Tell me, who sent you?"

The assassins kept their lips tightly shut and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi surged with spiritual power in his hands, and acted as if he wanted to teach them a lesson.

At this moment, one of the assassins suddenly spoke up: "We are from Tianfeng Pavilion. Pavilion Master Fengyi ordered us to disrupt your experiment. However, even if you kill us, more will come."

Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi looked at each other and understood that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges in the future.

In Sun Quan's camp, faced with the difficulty of Barrett rifling processing, Tiema Binghe Rumeng never gave up.

He launched a call for help on the Internet, calling on mechanical manufacturing experts from all sides.

A player who is good at making precision instruments contacted him and brought an ancient and mysterious rifling processing method - using spiritual power to drive special grinding tools to accurately carve rifling inside the barrel.

Tie Ma Bing He was overjoyed when he saw this, and he immediately organized his craftsmen to try this method. After several days and nights of hard work, they finally succeeded in processing qualified rifling, and the first Barrett was successfully born.

On Cao Cao's side, the research and development of spiritual shield devices has also made significant progress.

The player, proficient in mechanical construction, led the team to perfectly integrate the spiritual crystal with the mechanical device. After many experiments, they created a prototype of a movable spiritual shield.

This shield can not only resist physical attacks, but also rebound spiritual attacks to a certain extent.

The upgrade and transformation of the muskets led by Shi Potianjing was also completed.

The upgraded musket's range has increased by one third, and its firing rate has doubled. Every shot is accompanied by a burst of spiritual power, which is incredibly powerful.

The reclusive weapon master lived up to expectations and successfully crafted special grenades and artillery shells. The grenade exploded, releasing a powerful spiritual energy shockwave with a range twice that of an ordinary grenade; the artillery shells triggered a small spiritual energy storm upon impact, causing continuous damage to the enemy.

As weapons development progressed, the situation became increasingly tense. Xue Tianhan and his team accelerated the mass production of cement and Gatling guns.

Outside the city of Jingzhou, new fortifications rose from the ground with the pouring of cement. These fortifications were extremely strong, and their surfaces were covered with spiritual runes arranged by Xue Tianhan himself, further enhancing their defensive capabilities.

On the Gatling production line, craftsmen worked day and night, and the first batch of Gatling guns were about to be equipped to Liu Bei's army.

Feng Yi was furious when she learned that the assassin she sent had failed. She decided to personally lead the elite forces of Tianfeng Pavilion to launch a large-scale attack on Jingzhou.

She carefully planned the attack route, intending to break through Jingzhou's defense line under the cover of night and directly destroy the test base and arsenal.

After successfully producing Barrett, the morale of Sun Quan's camp was greatly boosted.

Iron Horse Ice River entered the dream and began training specialized sniper units, allowing them to master the use of Barrett. He also planned to unite with other players to harass Liu Bei's camp's supply lines and weaken their war potential.

Cao Cao assembled a vanguard force equipped with brand-new weapons, ready to support the attack on Jingzhou at any time. He also deployed numerous spies around Jingzhou to closely monitor every move of Liu Bei's camp.

On the eve of war, all parties are intensively preparing. The air is thick with the smell of gunpowder, and a war that will determine the power structure of the Three Kingdoms is about to break out.
