After obtaining the time-space door and entering the Three Kingdoms world, Zhang Hao soon considered acquiring some firearms and ammunition for development. This was not entirely impossible. He had a close high school classmate who was now in Africa, where his relatives operated mines.

Security at the mines was a major issue, and they hired guards who were armed. This classmate had taken many photos of himself playing with guns.

Through his classmate, Zhang Hao could meet the security company there and buy a small amount of firearms and ammunition, which would not be a problem. However, as Zhang Hao's development in the Three Kingdoms world went relatively smoothly and he did not absolutely need firearms, and considering the difficulty of traveling to Africa, he abandoned this idea.

At that time, Zhang Hao thought that he could get firearms and ammunition from other worlds in the future, and there was no need to specifically buy them in the modern world, as it might bring him some trouble.

Now, with the gun in hand, Zhang Hao was somewhat worried about the ammunition. Should he contact that guy and make a trip to Africa?

This high school classmate of Zhang Hao's was a very close friend, having been classmates since junior high. They were both mischievous and often got into trouble together. His grades were poor, and after graduating from high school, he went to Africa to join his relatives, where he now lived a comfortable life.

After being expelled last year, Zhang Hao changed his phone number and stopped using the internet, cutting off contact with most of his classmates and friends. However, when this classmate could not reach Zhang Hao, he directly contacted Zhang Hao's parents and got his new contact information. Upon learning what had happened, he even returned to China to visit Zhang Hao, angrily denouncing his enemies. Zhang Hao was also criticized for not staying in touch with his friends after the incident.

This classmate, Wang Zhi, asked Zhang Hao if he wanted to go to Africa with him, where he could earn a lot of money in two years. After Zhang Hao refused, Wang Zhi was not upset and only told Zhang Hao to let him know if he needed any help. Before rushing back to Africa, Wang Zhi secretly left Zhang Hao 10,000 yuan.

With such a close friendship, Zhang Hao was not afraid to trouble him.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Hao did not immediately decide. Going to Africa was still quite troublesome, and it did not seem absolutely necessary.

Speaking of which, there were ways to obtain more weapons and ammunition from the "I Am Legend" world.

The time-space door had a feature called a beacon. This was the feature Zhang Hao had previously considered activating.

The beacon function was similar to setting up spatial coordinates. Once a beacon was established at a location, the time-space door could be directly opened there, allowing for spatial movement within the same world.

This made sense; otherwise, if the time-space door could connect different worlds but not move within the same world, it would be unreasonable.

With this ability, as long as enough beacons were set up, Zhang Hao could move over large areas within a world. This level of mobility was unmatched. For example, with the beacon ability, in the Three Kingdoms world, Zhang Hao could directly lead his army to launch a surprise attack on an enemy city. No matter how formidable the defenses, once the beacon was inside, the defensive structures would be rendered ineffective.

The beacon had no size distinction and could be attached to various objects, and it was not even certain if it was a physical entity.

This ability was very useful, but in the Three Kingdoms world, Zhang Hao's progress was going smoothly, and due to the technological advantage and his steady approach, the beacon was not as urgently needed. Therefore, Zhang Hao did not rush to activate it and instead used the energy to explore new worlds.

This was not a problem. If he really wanted to activate the beacon ability, with the current rate of time-space energy accumulation in the Three Kingdoms world, it would not take long to gather the required energy.

Given the special circumstances of the "I Am Legend" world, Zhang Hao thought about the beacon.

If he had the beacon ability, Zhang Hao could set up a beacon on a small object and use a remote-controlled aircraft to move this small object beacon. It might be necessary to modify the remote-controlled aircraft to be wire-controlled, which would be more complicated but not difficult with money.

This would allow him to move the position of the portal in the "I Am Legend" world. Although it would be more complicated, it was the best way for safety.

Regardless of whether he needed to go to Africa immediately to get some firearms and ammunition, Zhang Hao thought it would be better to get his passport ready just in case.

Noticing the timer, the time rate in the "I Am Legend" world was faster than in the modern world, roughly at a 2:1 ratio. This made operations through the time-space door feel like fast-forwarding.

After tidying up the tools, Zhang Hao directly went to the Three Kingdoms world.

Bang, bang, bang, the crisp gunshots echoed in the green mountains and clear waters.

Watching the armor brought by his guards as a target, Zhang Hao was very satisfied with his accuracy. With his current strength, vision, and reaction speed, after some training, he would not be inferior to any modern firearms expert.

The magazine was scarce, so Zhang Hao used it sparingly. However, he specifically tested the effectiveness of modern firearms against the mighty warriors of this era.

Due to the thick weather and abundant primordial energy in this world, the average physical fitness of the people here far exceeded that of the modern world. If Zhang Hao brought a group of people from the Three Kingdoms to the Olympics, there would be no medals for anyone else.

The mighty warriors with high talent in this world had a significant physical advantage over ordinary people. At the time, Zhang Hao calculated that if modern soldiers used firearms to attack these mighty warriors, they might not even see their figures.

The speed of the bullets, the rate of fire, and the accuracy were entirely different matters.

If someone with extraordinary physical fitness like Zhang Hao used firearms, there would be some effect, but it could not guarantee a hit.

As for the power of the bullets, if the mighty warriors unleashed their aura, whether it was a pistol or a rifle, even at close range, the bullets could not penetrate the aura. Unless they deliberately used their aura to resist, the aura could flow and deflect the bullets, which would save more aura.

Of course, resisting bullets would consume a lot of aura and could not last long. Relying solely on physical strength, even the mighty warriors could not withstand bullets.

Noticing the gazes of Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, and others, Zhang Hao smiled and handed the rifle to them, "Try it out."

Zhang Hao gave some pointers, and they were not fools. The operation of the rifle was not difficult, and Zhou Tai quickly got the hang of it.

"Your Highness, this weapon is truly incredible. Although I have seen the use of these weapons in the video materials you brought, seeing it in person is even more impressive. If a thousand-man army were equipped with these, it would be almost impossible to resist without a large number of aura experts. Moreover, learning to use them is much easier than training sharpshooters," Zhao Yun said admiringly beside Zhang Hao.

"Yes, technological development has greatly enhanced the effectiveness and power of tools. However, compared to these weapons, I am more optimistic about the power of human aura," Zhang Hao smiled.

"However, the ability to skillfully use tools is one of our human strengths. Using tools is not shameful as long as we do not abandon the development of our own power. In the future, I will try to get you some firearms, ammunition, and other modern weapons to test. In this world, our technology is already far ahead, so we do not need these, but in the future, you may need to follow me to conquer other worlds, and it is good to be prepared."

"Yun is always ready to answer the King's call," Zhao Yun said earnestly.

Zhang Hao patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and did not say more.

"This thing is indeed powerful. If there are few, it is manageable, but if many are concentrated to attack, one can only rely on the aura to resist. However, the duration of the aura cannot compare to the rapid replacement of bullets in these firearms," Zhou Tai said after firing a few shots and walking back, grinning.

"However, using this thing is not as satisfying as real swords and spears."

"Then continue to train hard to increase the duration of your aura. No matter what, when facing different enemies, I will provide you with different weapons. We cannot be at a disadvantage in this aspect," Zhang Hao said.

After waiting for Zhao Yun to experience it, Zhang Hao thought that he needed to quickly get a batch of firearms and ammunition. Regardless of anything else, it was necessary for these generals to practice, as they would be his helpers in future conquests of various worlds.

Not just firearms and ammunition, but even cars and helicopters could be brought for them to learn.

"Zilong, Youping, go back and pack. You two will go to Guangling Commandery. The army will soon invade Central Plains, and keeping you by my side would be a waste. War is the stage for warriors," Zhang Hao said to Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai as they returned to Linyang City.
