Chapter 5, Underwater Power Assist Vehicle

"Listen to me, we don't have much time now, but as long as we make good use of the 'butterfly effect', changing the course of history can truly be realized." Sun Gang handed her the paper in his hand and said, "According to the Gregorian calendar, it is almost March now. Japan is increasing its troops under the pretext of the Donghak Peasant Revolution in Korea, seeking a justification for war. War has become inevitable. If I remember correctly, it will break out at the latest in July or August. To win this battle, artillery shells are key. The black powder shells of the Beiyang Fleet are insufficient in power, and there are many duds. If we can find a way to revitalize these shells, we can bombard the Japanese so hard that they won't know where to retreat! This is one aspect. Su Xin, Xiao Yu'er, and those underwater things, my idea is... This is one aspect. Su Xin, Xiao Yu'er, and those underwater things, my idea is..." Sun Gang pointed to the paper for her to see, "I have never dived into the sea before, this time I must enjoy it thoroughly."

"That's great, it really comes without effort." Sun Gang looked at Xiao Yu'er and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, how long can you stay in the water without coming out?"

"Rewriting history may just be the work of those few individuals," Sun Gang replied

Ma Yue was amused by Sun Gang's surprised expression, smiling with her lips pressed together, "This warehouse is one I just acquired, and I didn't expect to find something like this. I was also taken aback when I first saw it." she said

I can hardly imagine seeing such a thing in this era! Sun Gang's heart began to race with a "thump thump" sound

What are you going to do?" Ma Yue looked at Sun Gang, who was about to be overwhelmed with joy, and asked, "Could you give this young lady a hint as well?"

I have heard of yellow gunpowder; isn't it just bitter acid explosive? This actually poses no problem at all. Ma Yue finally understood his meaning, but still looked at him with some concern, saying, "However, I absolutely disagree with your underwater ambush plan. No objections, but if this were in our time, I would think your head got squeezed by the door." She touched his head and spoke in a strange tone.

Not long after they set off, the carriage stopped in front of a warehouse. Ma Yue pulled him out of the carriage and excitedly ran inside. A person who looked like a steward quickly greeted them with a smile. Ma Yue nodded at him and then dragged Sun Gang inside like a gust of wind.

In front of an open warehouse, Sun Gang stared in astonishment at the several large, dark fish-shaped objects inside, his eyes wide open, completely unaware of the unusual gaze of a person sitting idly at the entrance.

The other party met his gaze without hesitation, and Sun Gang looked into the young man's eyes, asking word by word: "You are not a local, are you?"

Ma Yue could hardly bear to look at Sun Gang's demeanor and said to him with dissatisfaction: "Look at you like that, don't scare the young lady!"

"What’s the matter? If you don’t even know this, don’t go out claiming you graduated from Shenhua, it tarnishes my image." Ma Yue looked at him with a hint of pride and said, "Bitter acid, scientifically known as 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, has a greater explosive power than trinitrotoluene (TNT) and is classified as a high explosive. I really don’t know what you learned in university."

The elderly man looked at them with a loving gaze, yet he still did not understand why Miss Bai was so excited. He skillfully drove the car, while Sun Gang looked at Ma Yue with curiosity and asked, "What good thing is it? Can you give this consultant a hint?"

Ah?! That's great, Xiaoyuer. Can you bring your sister Ling'er here in a little while?" Sun Gang said excitedly, "Consider it as me hiring you.

Having arranged for several of them and those underwater thrusters, Ma Yue arrived at Sun Gang's room, where she saw him still writing something on paper, and could not help but ask: "Can you explain it to me now?"

You will know then, hehe. She said with an excitement she could not conceal.

Sun Gang involuntarily stepped forward, carefully observing the strange creature before him, shaking his head vigorously to ensure that his eyes were not deceiving him

Ma Yue, with a face full of excitement, pulled him onto Old Ma's cart, urging Old Ma repeatedly to drive faster, while several servants rode alongside.

Sun Gang looked at his dark and sturdy face, and a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind. He walked over to him, stood in front of him, and gazed directly into his eyes

"You actually understand explosives?" Sun Gang looked at her in surprise, "Truly, a woman changes greatly by the age of eighteen, one must take a fresh look at you."

It was easy to block his mouth with a bun. Sun Gang sized up the girl named Xiaoyuer. She was delicate and lovely, probably around twelve or thirteen years old, with slightly dark skin that made her look very fit. It was evident that she was an excellent swimmer. She looked at Sun Gang timidly, unsure of what this grinning fellow intended to do.

The other party was momentarily taken aback, then immediately began to speak: "My name is Su Xin, I work on a South Korean deep-sea fishing boat as a diver. One day, while diving, I discovered a pearl diver entangled in a net. I went to rescue her, and after bringing her ashore, I realized that the surroundings looked completely different. I thought I was in a movie and after asking for a long time, I found out that it was the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty. There was no other choice but to send her home. Her name is Xiao Yuer, her parents passed away early, and she lives with her grandfather. Her grandfather was a small businessman, but somehow became infatuated with submarines. As a result, his experiments failed, the submarine sank, and he lost all his money. He then fell seriously ill, and it was all up to her to dive for pearls to make a living. I had no choice but to help her. Her grandfather had just passed away, and we were really out of money, wanting to sell off some things. And then, your wife showed up... So you two are living together to test the waters, huh? Oh, never mind what I said... So you two are living together to test the waters, huh? Oh, never mind what I said... We can just stay here and make a fire. Look at you, we all came from the same era, who needs whom? Just consider us helping your wife... No, your girlfriend... No, your future wife can work for us, no salary needed, just provide meals, okay? I have a set of diving skills, all these things were made by me. The Beiyang Fleet sometimes even asks us to help retrieve torpedoes..."

"A Gang! Come quickly! I found something fun for you!" The excited voice of Ma Yue came from outside, and Sun Gang, puzzled, put down his pen and ran out.

The battery-powered motor drives the propeller. A voice came from behind, and when Sun Gang and Ma Yue turned around, they saw a ragged young man standing there, saying: "The power can sustain underwater navigation for about five hours"

Unknowingly, time has passed swiftly

Can this be obtained here? Sun Gang couldn't help but ask

Xiao Yu'er glanced at Su Xin and nodded

Her lung capacity is remarkable, lasting over twenty minutes without difficulty, and she can even hold her breath underwater. Su Xin replied for her, while Xiao Yu'er looked at Sun Gang, nodded, and quietly said: "This is not the longest; Sister Ling'er can hold her breath for an entire incense stick without coming up."

Seeing his anxious demeanor, she smiled and pinched his cheek, saying: "Is it still necessary to do anything? I have a whole bunch in my hands, so why worry about the vegetables not going out? You may not know, but that stuff is dye. I brought back a large dye house, and when I was taking inventory, I found this thing, a big pile of yellow. When I figured out the composition, I was almost scared out of my wits; if it goes off, nothing will be left around. Right now, it's stored in a warehouse in the countryside. That stuff is flammable, explosive, and toxic, quite troublesome. If you can help me get rid of it, this young lady would be very grateful."

No problem! Sun Gang was truly excited this time. Just as he was about to take this opportunity to hug her and give her a kiss in celebration, he heard the servants outside calling out one after another, "Sir," and a maid outside said, "The master has arrived"

If it can truly allow people to navigate underwater, then the history of the First Sino-Japanese War may indeed be rewritten

"I do not know what its motivation is," Sun Gang said

These objects are approximately 2 meters long and 0.5 meters wide, resembling dolphins afflicted with obesity. They have a propeller at the back and handle-like fins on their backs and sides. From their appearance, it can be inferred that this is a type of single-person underwater propulsion device. Such devices are commonly seen in action films, and the one that left the deepest impression on him was the special forces using this type of equipment for underwater assaults in "The Rock." This device should actually be referred to as an "underwater assist vehicle."
