Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

The person responsible for lighting the fuse was none other than Li Changlin, who volunteered to do it.

As someone who had participated in the research and development throughout the entire process along with Shi An'an, he was also the person who knew the power of gunpowder best besides Shi An'an.

Of course he couldn't let the teacher take the risk, he could just run faster!

"Changlin, be sure to check before lighting the fuse, and be careful!" Shi Anan stood in the distance, looking at Li Changlin with some concern.

In order to obtain more accurate experimental data, this time they used the largest amount of gunpowder ever. If they were to get blown up accidentally, it would not be a minor incident like before, but could be fatal.

"Don't worry, teacher. I know what to do!" Li Changlin turned around and replied.

Seeing Shi Anan so worried, Xiao Yi took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, if anything happens I can go and rescue him."

This distance is nothing for someone who knows martial arts.

Shi Anan tugged at his clothes and said, "Come on, just stay here. The explosives this time are different from the previous ones. Don't take my explosives lightly just because you are good at martial arts."

"Everyone stand still, I'm going to light the fire!" Li Changlin asked from a distance.

Shi Anan raised his hands to cover his ears, stared at the venue, and replied: "Go ahead!"

Li Changlin stretched out his hand to light the fuse, and then quickly ran towards them. Mu Shan, Yan Fei and others still looked relaxed, especially Yan Fei who had just boasted to Shi Anan. Seeing Shi Anan covering her ears, he smiled secretly, thinking that no matter how powerful Miss Shi was, she was still a little girl and would be easily scared by these things.

Just as his mind was empty, a dazzling light flashed, followed by a deafening roar. The earth seemed to be shaking, and the birds in the valley were startled and flew around. The huge shock wave shook the surrounding trees, and the leaves fell one after another. Yan Fei was frightened by the sudden loud noise and fell to the ground.

Xiao Yi's dark pupils shrank for a moment as if he was frightened. Even Mu Shan, Butcher Jiang and others seemed to be stunned and did not speak for a long time.

Li Changlin had already run over to them and said excitedly, "Teacher, we succeeded! We succeeded! This is so powerful!"

Shi Anan looked at the deep pit created by the explosion in the distance. There was still black smoke and dirt flying in the air. She fanned away the pungent smell of smoke and dust and said, "Well done. The power is beyond my expectations. But we have to improve the method of ignition later. It's too much trouble to run like this every time."

Li Changlin nodded hurriedly. This explosive was good in every way except that it was too troublesome to ignite. It would be best if it could be improved. When An An and Li Changlin and other R&D personnel were muttering some professional terms that others could not understand about the explosive, Yan Fei and others came to their senses.

"This is simply incredible..." Yan Fei muttered to himself.

"Oh my God, this power is too great!" Butcher Jiang widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

Mu Shan came over and said to Shi Anan, "Miss, if you use this gunpowder on the battlefield, it will be terrible!"

Shi Anan turned to look at the frightened people, then looked at Xiao Yi who didn't say anything but looked a little confused, and smiled proudly: "Of course, otherwise do you think I developed this gunpowder for fun? Let me tell you, this is still the most basic!"

The success of the gunpowder test made Shi Anan more confident about the subsequent research and development. On the return trip, because the noise made by the explosive pack was too loud, even from such a distance, some people still saw the thick smoke billowing in the mountains.

This took the security team a while to explain, and only then did the people feel relieved and disperse.

Shi Anan didn't know what to say about this situation. This was just a pack of explosives. There were bombs, artillery and other items behind it. By then, this forest would probably not be quiet. She could only say, "Just get used to it."

***

The days passed one by one in research, development and construction, and in the blink of an eye, another New Year's Eve was approaching.

Compared with last year's New Year's Eve, this year's Guangming County can be said to have made a great transformation. Not only has it been upgraded from a small village in the mountains to a large county town, but this large county town is also one that is better than the current county towns in all aspects of development.

The next step of Shi Anan's main task is to expand the scale of the county. For her now, developing Guangming County is not only to complete the task, but also because she wants the people here to have a better life.

This change in mentality was also gradually adjusted during this year. Thinking back to when she first came to the Apocalypse Dynasty, she was told that this era was about to fall into the end of the world. At that time, she did not care about the safety of others. She only thought about how to survive. Except for the original owner's mother Liu and the maid Fuxin who grew up with her, she had no one else to care about.

But now it is different. She has met so many people, simple common people, loyal subordinates, and students who respect her. She can no longer keep herself out of it, nor can she treat these living people as strangers. She is integrating into this era.

In addition, there is... Xiao Yi who has been silently protecting and helping her.

Shi Anan couldn't explain what she thought of Xiao Yi. When she first saw Xiao Yi, she just thought he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and the nickname "Little Pretty" was also inspired by her.

Everyone likes good-looking people, and Shi Anan is no exception. However, that kind of liking is more like appreciation. But since when did her liking start to deteriorate?

Was it from the time when Xiao Yi carefully made so many handicrafts for her without asking for any compensation, or the time when Xiao Yi accompanied her out for the first time and supported her in the dark night when she was afraid, or the time when he silently accompanied her for so long?

Shi Anan didn't know either. She only knew that Xiao Yi, who silently supported her, protected her, and accompanied her behind her back, made her more and more dependent on him. Although he was a young man from a noble family, he didn't put on airs in front of her. She was also used to him appearing in front of her whenever she needed him.

Shi Anan didn’t know whether this could be considered love or dependence after a long time. After all, she had never liked anyone before. But she thought that there was still a long time to go, so she might as well let nature take its course. After all, Xiao Yi didn’t say that he liked her, right?

After sorting out his wandering thoughts, Shi Anan came back to his senses and decided to think about how to celebrate the New Year this year!

This year's New Year's Eve in Guangming County is destined to be a happy day for the whole family. God may see that they are suffering too much, so apart from the fact that it has not rained recently, no other disasters have occurred. This also made Shi Anan breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the protective shield can greatly ensure the survival of all the people in Guangming County, she does not want to see this endless disaster. Everyone's life is already hard enough.
