Alkinnon and Mokeado were not fools.
On the contrary, the two of them wanted to live more than anyone else present. They wanted to live.
They wanted their fame to continue growing.
Everyone lived for their reputation.
This was especially true for people like them, who cared more about their reputation, just like the great Confucians of the Great Tang.
They could lose their lives, but they could not lose their reputation.
And Zhang Feng just so happened to grab hold of this pain point of theirs.
In fact, Zhang Feng did not lose anything.
Originally, Zhang Feng had been worried about the matter of the Scientific Research Institute. After all, there were some old and stubborn people. Although it was good to go up the mountain and look good, these people were not suitable to enter the kind of people who only focused on one thing to the extent of madness.
If he wanted to personally nurture some people, it would take a very long time.
For example, Zhang Feng's plan for the later stage, which was related to agriculture, could be said to be very far away. However, because of these people, Zhang Feng could not help but see a glimmer of hope.
Although firearms and other things like steel were somewhat biased towards a certain aspect, some people were different.
This was only for some people. In Zhang Feng's eyes, as long as steel was produced, many things, such as wind-driven lathes, could save manpower. If they were used to manufacture certain things, they would enter another level. As long as these things were produced, the rubber factories and textile factories that Zhang Feng had mentioned before would be put on the right track faster.
Not to mention other things like steel. Before this, Zhang Feng had not thought too much about it. As long as it was produced, it would be fine. However, after hearing Alkinnon and Mokeado's names, he immediately had a plan. He wanted to turn all these people into a group of scientific lunatics.
They only focused on researching how to make steel into better lunatics. As long as a group of people appeared, the rest would not be far away. For example, as long as these people appeared, Du Dabing's progress could be sped up. When the time came, he would only need to cooperate with him …
After all, people in physics and scientific chemistry only cared about quality, not quantity. However, they needed a lot of people to cooperate with them. For example, Mokeado.
His appearance was like those metal tubes, test tubes, and the like. Zhang Feng saved people and sped up the process. As for the precision manufacturing of other things, the 30 or so slaves were more than capable of doing it. Moreover, they were existences that posed no threat at all.
After arranging the follow-up work for the 30 people, Zhang Feng explained in detail what they needed to pay attention to when smelting steel, he left leisurely.
Niu Jinda and the others, whose heads were full of question marks, sat in Zhang Feng's living room and lit up a cigarette. Only then did they recover from their deep doubts. They could not help but ask almost in unison, "Feng Zi, are you really crazy? Can these people be of great use? "
Zhang Feng nodded disapprovingly.
At this time, Yuchi Gong said with some lingering fear, "Fengzi, you … listen to me. After all, these people are foreigners. How can they make such confidential things? If they leak this matter, even if they only tell the people on the mountain or those who transport the goods, have you thought about the consequences?"
Zhang Feng smiled faintly. He took a puff of the cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. "I know what you mean. Those who are not of my race must have different intentions, right?"
Yuchi Gong did not speak. He just nodded with a serious face. The reason why these people were brought to the mountain was that they wanted to help the Tang Dynasty find craftsmen in the future. In other words, they could be used as prisoners on death row. However, Zhang Feng wanted to put them in an important position. Moreover, he wanted to pass on the core secrets that they did not know to these people. What if this spread out?
Zhang Feng shook his head and said with certainty, "In fact, sometimes these people are more reliable than those in the Tang Dynasty who think they are top craftsmen or those who are famous."
The two were puzzled.
Zhang Feng continued, "You can treat these people as lunatics. They did do these things for fame and benefits, or for some family inheritance, but that was in the past. Now they also know that it is absolutely impossible for them to go home. Under such circumstances, hope is far more effective than despair. "
"For example, you are one of the four Gods of War of the Tang Dynasty, but you accidentally get lost in the desert and are intercepted by the Turks. Do you think they will directly kill you to vent their anger? Or will they squeeze the most value out of you? "
Yuchi Gong and Niu Jinda were shocked.
In an instant, a layer of white hair appeared all over their bodies.
Although Zhang Feng's words were unintentional, they really poked at their sore spot. They were indeed generals. Moreover, they knew some secrets that were simply unimaginable for the Turks. They had thought countless times about what would happen if they fell into the hands of the enemy. But at this time, if they thought about it from another perspective, they could not help but think of the meaning of Zhang Feng's words just now.
Although they were not cowards and were not afraid of death, in some aspects, if someone tried to goad them into action in the military field, they were likely to fall for it.
Zhang Feng's words were unintentional, but he inadvertently reminded the two of them. If they also used this trick in the military, then …
The several people in the room could not help but take a puff of smoke, frowning deeply.
After a long time, one of them smacked the last bit of smoke in his hand and said, "Boy, I'm convinced!"
