Luo Zhang walked into the weapons workshop and looked around. Whether it was a Mitsubishi thorn or armor, they were all made of steel as a material nowadays. Things made of iron could no longer be seen.
After checking the quality of the weapons and armor he made, Luo Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
The master followed Luo Zhang carefully, for fear that Luo Zhang would be dissatisfied. You must know that the things he builds now are not just for Luo Zhang, but also for the Tang army. If there is any Any mistakes will cost you your head.
Luo Zhang also has the title of Ordnance Supervisor, which is enough to control him.
"Everything is good, it seems you are very attentive!" Luo Zhang praised.
Hearing Luo Zhang's affirmative words, the master breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is all the credit of Mr. Luo. If it weren't for the blueprints given by Mr. Luo, I wouldn't be able to think of these weapons without breaking my brain!"
"Especially this engineer shovel. It is simply a sacred object. Whether it is digging or digging, it is much easier to use than the chisels and shovels we use now. It is also lightweight. When the army marches, it does not need to carry so much baggage. The soldiers carry it on their backs. You can just go, it’s so convenient!” the master boasted.
There was no expression on Luo Zhang's face. Although he plagiarized it, Luo Zhang now has a very thick skin and is not embarrassed at all.
"I came to you today not only to see how your weapons are being made, but also to ask you to do something!" After Luo Zhang looked at the weapons workshop, the master took him to a room where he rested. among.
The master was stunned for a moment, but then he was overjoyed. What Luo Zhang asked him to do was a good thing. Could it be that there were any good things left to him to build?
"My lord, just give me your orders, I will definitely satisfy you!" the master said, patting his chest.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang nodded, then took out a stack of yellowed paper from his arms, put it on the table and said, "Come and take a look at this, see if you can understand it!"
The master reached out to take the paper from the table and looked at it carefully. Luo Zhang sat aside drinking tea and did not disturb the master to check what he took out.
The master looked at it for nearly half an hour before putting down the drawings. His eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and even more confusion.
"Is there a lot that you don't understand?" Seeing this, Luo Zhang asked.
"Sir, what on earth is this?" the master asked.
"This is an artillery piece. Whether it is siege of a city or a sea battle, this thing can be regarded as a powerful weapon!" Luo Zhang explained.
"Artillery? Artillery..." the master muttered to himself, his eyes falling on the drawing again.
"Sir, if this artillery can really be created, we, the Tang Dynasty, will be invincible!" the master said, trembling with excitement.
"It seems that you understand it. Since you understand it, I won't say anything more. The construction of this thing must be accelerated and kept extremely confidential. No leaks can be made. If our enemies know about it, you know it will What are the consequences?" Luo Zhang said seriously.
"Sir, I still know the importance of this. I will build this artillery carefully and will never disappoint you!" the master promised.
"I'll leave this matter to you. Within one month, I need you to build ten cannons. In three months, I need you to build a hundred cannons. Are you confident?" Luo Zhang stared at the master.
"This... Sir, it is really difficult to build a hundred doors in three months." The master calculated it and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Don't worry about this. I will tell His Majesty that he will mobilize manpower for you to drive. But if you have enough manpower and you can't build it, then it will be your responsibility!" Luo Zhang beat.
"Yes, sir, as long as I have enough manpower, I will definitely be able to complete it!" the master promised.
Since he had promised, Luo Zhang didn't say anything more and once again communicated with him about the construction status of the artillery. This would also save the master from detours and allow him to get started faster and build the artillery.
And with steel as the material, the artillery's heat resistance and ductility are also greatly enhanced. Luo Zhang doesn't have to worry about the artillery being scrapped after one shot.
An hour later, Luo Zhangcai and his men left the ferrosilicon mine and headed towards Chang'an City.
In Changsun Mansion, Changsun Wuji also received the battle report of the battle in the southeast sea area immediately.
Looking at the battle report in his hand, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, while the great elder sat aside and said nothing.
After a long time, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful country in the west, with such a powerful fleet. I just regret that this time Luo Zhang's Royal Navy was in the limelight."
"Master, this is just temporary. As far as I know, the Royal Navy has also suffered a big blow this time. Maybe we can cooperate with that Western country!" The elder came up with an idea.
Changsun Wuji thought for a while, nodded and said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. You can contact them first to see what they mean."
"Just leave this matter to me. By the way, Patriarch, I sent someone to inquire about the poisonous spiders in Tianshan Mountain and got some clues!" the elder changed the subject.
"Huh? What did you say? Is there any news about the Tianshan poisonous spider?" Changsun Wuji said with bright eyes.
"That's right, there's news!" the elder said with a smile on his face, looking very happy.
"Tell me, where was the poisonous mountain spider that day?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"According to the information we received, the Tianshan poisonous spider is in the hands of Li Chunfeng!"
"Master of the family, you also know that Tianshan Mountain is the ancestral land of the Taoist sect. People often go there to hold rituals. It is no wonder that they found and obtained Tianshan poisonous spiders." The elder explained.
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you get the things earlier!" Changsun Wuji said impatiently.
"Master, I sent someone to inquire as soon as I got the news. Li Chunfeng is not in the sect. The one who received the reception was Yuan Tiangang. According to what he said, the poisonous spider on the mountain is their sacred object and he wants theirs. It’s impossible to use a sacred object!” The great elder shook his head helplessly.
"Are they really that stubborn?" Changsun Wuji asked with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"No, Yuan Tiangang also put forward a condition, that is, let us support Taoism, stand on their side, and help them fight Buddhism. In this way, they will offer the Tianshan Poisonous Spider with both hands!"
"It's just that this matter of Buddhism and Taoism is very involved. Once we get involved, we are afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss." The great elder explained.
"The gain is not worth the loss? As long as you get the cultivation manual and gain more than you lose, what do you have to hesitate about? Besides, the conflict with that expert is not my fault. Until now, I am not sure about killing him. The time is getting closer and closer, if we can't get the Tianshan poisonous spider within a month, we will definitely conflict with it by then, do you think there is still a choice?" Changsun Wuji analyzed the pros and cons.
