Hearing this, Lu Qiu shook his head and said, "No, I have committed a heinous crime and am no longer qualified to meet His Majesty!"
"But when I think about the seriousness of the matter, I can only come boldly!"
It turned out that Lu Qiu had not found Wu Tian this morning and sent people to look for Wu Tian. However, he did not expect that Wu Tian left Datang for Dachu yesterday.
After learning the news, Lu Qiu realized that Wu Tian might have rebelled, so he hurriedly came to plead guilty!
"You mean your apprentice defected? Is the news reliable?"
After understanding all the ins and outs, Tang Yu's face suddenly turned ugly.
He didn't expect that such a thing would happen. It would be fine if an ordinary forger defected, but the person who defected was Wu Tian, Lu Qiu's only apprentice.
"It's absolutely true. Someone saw Wu Tian leave the Tang Dynasty and go to the Chu Dynasty. All this is my fault. I accepted Wu Tian as my disciple without any clue. I deserve death for my crime!"
Lu Qiu knocked his head on the ground. He was very aware of the consequences of Wu Tian's defection.
If Wu Tianzhen really develops modern weapons, it will be an extremely troublesome thing for Datang.
However, Tang Yu did not blame Lu Qiu. Instead, he stepped forward and helped him up, saying, "What happened has nothing to do with you. It was my negligence."
"Let me ask you, how much has Wu Tian mastered weapons technology? Is he capable of developing weapons by himself?"
Now that the person has escaped, blaming is meaningless. Tang Yu wants to find out how much Wu Tian knows about modern weapons.
Lu Qiu said: "Your Majesty, Wu Tian is only responsible for loading gunpowder. I have told him about making weapons, but I have never let him actually operate them."
"Moreover, I deliberately hid my skills when teaching him, and did not let him master the real core skills!"
It turned out that Lu Qiu was also worried about this happening, so he deliberately hid his hand and did not teach him how to make a trigger! After hearing this, Tang Yu felt relieved and said: "Haha, in this case we have nothing to worry about. Wu Tian's defection is actually a good thing for us."
Good thing?
Meng Tian and Lu Qiu both stared at Tang Yu with suspicion.
"Your Majesty, how can this be considered a good thing?" Meng Tian asked subconsciously.
A smile appeared at the corner of Tang Yu's mouth and he said: "You think, if Wu Tian's defection hadn't happened, we still wouldn't have been able to take it seriously. The lax supervision was my negligence, and it also sounded the alarm for us."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Tian and Lu Qiu nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Tang Yu said made sense.
"Meng Tian, transfer people from the First Army. This group of people is responsible for protecting the safety of the casters and monitoring them. I don't want this to happen again."
Hearing this, Meng Tian said solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The next second, Tang Yu looked at Lu Qiu and continued: "Similarly, from now on, the workshop must have a clear division of labor. Each department is responsible for the various accessories of firearms. I need to create an assembly line, such as the one for filling gunpowder. People do not have access to the technology of making firearms.”
"People who make firearms do not have access to the technology of making bullets. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Lu Qiu nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand!"
After hearing Tang Yu's words, Lu Qiu suddenly realized that in this way, they no longer have to worry about someone defecting. Even if they defect, they will not be able to create modern weapons!
And only core personnel like Lu Qiu can know the real combination technology!
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I promise that I will not let Wu Tian's incident happen again!"
Afterwards, Meng Tian and Lu Qiu left together, and the First Army dispatched a thousand elite soldiers to protect the foundry masters in the workshop.
In an instant, an undercurrent surges, and a storm is coming!
