With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.
Chapter 444 Wanting to Build an Oil Processing Plant
After inspecting Warehouse No. 1, Nangong Wu went to inspect Warehouse No. 2, which had a sign that read "Grenade Depot".
Warehouse number two was the same size as warehouse number one. Just as she was about to push the door open, Eileen's voice came again, "Master, don't go in! None of the grenades in that warehouse have been used yet!"
"None of the grenades in this warehouse have been used yet?" Nangong Wu asked, puzzled. "Where did we get the grenades we used before?"
"It's a temporary warehouse! Since this main warehouse is already full, we had to add a secondary warehouse, which is right behind the main warehouse," Eileen explained.
"There are so many grenades?" Nangong Wu slapped her forehead; she really didn't remember collecting so much ammunition.
"That's a lot?" Eileen was speechless. "During those years, several Middle Eastern countries were constantly at war. How many merchant ships smuggling illegal weapons did you intercept at sea? Have you forgotten?"
"Wasn't I hijacking an oil tanker?" Nangong Wu tried hard to recall.
Those years were filled with numerous assignments and side jobs; I was incredibly busy. All I remember is that oil was the most valuable commodity, and her primary objective was to hijack black ships smuggling oil.
Of course, she wouldn't let smuggled weapons and ammunition go undetected either. It wasn't that she had forgotten about these things, but rather that she didn't know exactly how much ammunition there was.
"Those black arms dealers just want to profit from the war, exchanging guns and ammunition for oil from those countries. You should go and see for yourself how big the oil storage area is, to see how much oil we've collected!" Eileen chuckled.
"With you guys cleaning up for me, I'm relieved and don't need to go check!" Nangong Wu shrugged, looking at the warehouse area that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. "At the time, I just thought, why not take advantage of something that's been stolen?"
With Aiqi and Erin as housekeepers, the entire space was managed by them. After receiving the items, they rarely asked how much they had received; they would only ask when they wanted to use a particular item.
She inspected all of the dozen or so armories.
Since she came here, the weapons she has used most in recent years are bullets, grenades, rockets, and poison gas grenades.
Many missiles were also launched from helicopters to bomb the Eastern Jin Dynasty's palace, the Wu King's residence, and Changyang Temple.
"I originally planned to set up a military factory after things settled down, but with so many weapons and ammunition, I think it's unnecessary."
Running an arms factory is no small matter, and it's not a good thing for the world.
"Master, you are already capable of dominating this world! Human lifespan is only a hundred years, and what you have left behind is enough to protect your descendants for generations to come," Eileen said.
"If there hadn't been other transmigrators, this world wouldn't have fallen into chaos," Nangong Wu thought of the musket.
"Master, we can't control things like time travel. As long as those time travelers don't bother us, we don't need to waste our energy looking for them."
We must now focus on building Runan City, constructing a strong fortress, establishing our own nation, securing a place in this world, and ultimately dominating it. We will use our knowledge and abilities from our past lives to change this place, ensuring that the elderly are cared for and the sick receive medical treatment.
"If those time travelers think they have a strong foundation and develop unwarranted ambitions, then let them know how powerful our airplanes and cannons are!" Eileen suggested.
"You're right." Nangong Wu thought she was right.
She was able to travel here, and so could other travelers. It's their good fortune to be able to travel here, as long as they don't harm her interests.
Their biggest enemy now is Ling Yangzi, but he and King Jing have become like rats in the gutter, unable to see the light of day. As long as they don't court death, they won't die too quickly.
She focused her thoughts on the living area and wanted to lie down on the sofa and take a nap.
At this moment, Eileen and Li Shuang returned with four children.
"Mother!"
All three children ran to her.
"I learned how to swim underwater today," Nangong Xi said happily.
"Really?" Nangong Wu sat up and hugged her daughter. "Xi'er is so amazing."
"Tch! I already learned that!" Nangong Jue didn't think there was anything to be happy about.
"Luo Yushao hasn't learned it yet!" Nangong Xi retorted.
"Luo Yushao is still young; he'll learn it when he's a little older," Nangong Wu said with a smile.
"Luo Yushao is such a crybaby. He's so old and still needs his mother to carry him," Nangong Jue said with disdain.
Luo Yushao was being held by Li Shuang. Upon hearing his words, he immediately got off his mother, his little face showing confusion. "Mother..."
"His Highness was just joking with you!" Li Shuang comforted her son with a smile.
"Jue'er, Xi'er, you are not allowed to talk about Luo Yushao like that." Nangong Wu's voice turned serious.
The child is only three years old and needs his parents' company. Li Cheng stayed in Kyoto to protect his father, and Li Shuang, as her personal bodyguard, was also very busy. Sometimes she would not see her child for several days.
Luo Yushao only saw his mother once every few days, and he always wanted to hug her.
Nangong Yu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Nangong Jue, you make it sound like you don't want your father to hold you."
Seeing that their mother seemed unhappy, Nangong Jue and Nangong Xi immediately stood up straight, looking as if they had admitted their mistake.
"Mother, we know we were wrong!"
"Alright!" Eileen stepped in to smooth things over. "It's nap time, you should all go back to your rooms to sleep."
"Mother, Yu'er is going to sleep!" Nangong Yu bowed respectfully to Nangong Wu.
"Go on!" Nangong Wu patted Nangong Yu's head. Of the three children, her eldest son was the most sensible and the least worrisome.
"We're going to sleep!" Nangong Yu pulled his younger siblings away.
Luo Yushao let go of his mother's hand and followed them.
"Li Shuang, spend more time with the children when you have time!" Nangong Wu said.
"Yes, thank you, Princess." Li Shuang replied gratefully.
Eileen didn't take the three children to their room. Instead, she sat down next to Nangong Wu and said, "Master, we have a lot of oil, but it's all crude oil."
"Once Runan City is completed, we'll open another oil processing plant," Nangong Wu said.
If you want to build a modern country here, you can't do without oil.
Because petroleum has extremely wide applications, it was hailed as the "lifeblood of industry" in the previous world, an indispensable basic raw material for humankind's clothing, food, housing, transportation, agriculture, and medicine.
"Sure, we have crude oil refining equipment anyway, so we can definitely build an oil processing plant." Eileen agreed wholeheartedly. "When I have time, I'll draw up the blueprints and find all the necessary equipment."
Eileen acted immediately, running to the study and turning on the computer.
In the evening, around 7:30 PM, Bei Chenyan arrived at Tianhua Palace.
Nangong Wu heard the noise and stepped out of the space, seeing that his expression was not good.
"You've come here now because you need something?"
