After the competition, the newly created magic weapon had no damage, only a small scratch.
And this scratch is probably because I haven't had time to apply the ancient paint on this newly released magic weapon.
This shows that the imitation of the magic weapon "my weapon" has been successful!
At the same time, Ying Zheng was also pleased with the talent of Wei Liao. If Wei Liao could fully unleash the power of "my weapon", then the Qin army would be unstoppable in the future.
After this, Meng Wu finally no longer had any doubts and decided to go all out to help Ying Zheng build a new army.
The soldiers of the new army are also gearing up and full of confidence.
Everyone's attention was focused on the two magic weapons competing against each other, but they all forgot that there was another imitation magic weapon present, which was Hu Yu's one.
Hu Yu did not squeeze into the crowd, but returned to his seat, looking at his imitation, not knowing what he was thinking.
Although Ying Zheng was overjoyed, he was not too complacent. How could he not observe Hu Yu's movements.
"Sir." Ying Zheng came to Li Si and asked, "I wonder how long the entire production process of this magic weapon will take?"
"Go back to the king." Li Si cupped his hands and said, "If you prepare materials such as alloys, it will take about four days. After the materials are formed, just like today, you can make one in half a day."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "It seems that it will take at least a few months to forge a hundred 'my weapons'."
"That depends on whether the raw materials are sufficient." Li Si replied.
"How much can we make from the raw materials we brought back earlier?" Ying Zheng asked.
"About five or six more can be made." Li Si said, "The one made today was re-smelted from a previous imitation."
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we still need to save some materials."
Picking up the newly forged magic weapon, Ying Zheng turned around and came to Hu Yu.
"Change it over." Ying Zheng handed the finished product in his hand to Hu Yu and said softly.
"No, this is pretty good." Hu Yu said childishly.
"This one is a bit heavy and not suitable for a woman's home." Ying Zheng pointed to Hu Yu's imitation and said, "Bring it back and you can recast it into a new one."
"Okay then." Hu Yu pretended to be reluctant.
Ying Zheng just put the finished product in his hand on the table, but unexpectedly Hu Yu said again: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Ying Zheng thought Hu Yu had regretted it.
"I still want this one." Hu Yu said, "Your Majesty, let them smelt this one and make a new one."
This is not too much to ask for.
Ying Zheng nodded, handed Hu Yu's imitation to Jing Fan, turned around and said to Hu Yu, "Take this one and come here to exchange it in a few days."
Hu Yu shook his head and said, "Leave this one to Master Wei Liao. He needs this magic weapon to learn moves and formations."
"That's pretty much it." Ying Zheng smiled.
Hu Yu laughed heartily.
Ying Zheng brought the newly made magic weapon to Wei Liao and handed it out with both hands: "Captain, please pick up the magic weapon."
Wei Liao knew what this reception meant, but without a moment's hesitation, he took it with both hands and held it in front of his chest.
"Captain, I will leave the new army and new-style magic weapons of our Great Qin to you." Ying Zheng said solemnly, "I hope the Commander will not disappoint me."
"I will definitely live up to the king's orders." Wei Liao's expression was very firm.
"Okay!" Ying Zheng said, "If I ask you to study moves and formations based on this 'my weapon', how long will it take?"
Wei Liao thought for a while and said: "If it's a move, a month would be enough, but if it's a formation, it also depends on how many people there are in the array."
"There are only a hundred people." Ying Zheng said.
"One hundred people?" Wei Liao did not expect that Ying Zheng's target was only one hundred people.
"That's right." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Half of what's in front of you is already here."
Say it, win
Zheng pointed at the elite soldiers of the Meng family.
The elite soldiers of the Meng family looked at Ying Zheng with piercing eyes.
"You have to personally select the other half." Ying Zheng continued, "And among these people now, if any one is unqualified, they can be replaced at will. If there is anyone who disobeys orders or causes trouble, they will be punished. They must be punished severely in accordance with the law.”
"We sincerely obey the King's will." Wei Liao bowed and said.
Ying Zheng looked back at Meng Wu and asked, "General Meng, is there no problem?"
Meng Wu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone in the Meng family will definitely cooperate with Master Wei Liao."
"That's good." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Let Wei Liao live in your house for the time being."
"I obey the king's orders." Meng Wu cupped his hands and said.
Ying Zheng turned to look at Meng Yi again: "Meng Yi, now that this magic weapon has been successfully forged, the next step depends on whether you can find the missing minerals."
Meng Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the gold mining team is completely familiar with the use of firecrackers. The rest is to search for ore and mine."
"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "If you need anything, just ask. When you are ready, we will leave immediately."
"Yeah." Meng Wu responded, "Weichen is really demanding."
"Just say whatever you want." Ying Zheng said bluntly.
Meng Yi looked around and said mysteriously: "This is not the place to talk. Your Majesty, let's go to the inner room."
Ying Zheng was curious as to why it was so mysterious, as if he had picked up money, but he still followed him to the inner room.
There was no one else in the room, and Meng Yi said: "Your Majesty, I have been practicing gold mining for the past few days, and I have been trying to figure out how to find minerals quickly. I heard that your Majesty had engraved all the minerals into the magical Within the compass, the compass can be used to discover minerals. I just want to ask the king to borrow the compass, but I don’t know if I can.”
Don't tell me, this is really the key.
Ying Zheng spent a lot of effort to imprint each mineral into the black iron compass one by one. The purpose was to find minerals.
But problems have arisen. Ying Zheng cannot take Xuan Tie Luo around every day to look for minerals. Even if the government does not need to be managed for the time being, there are many other things to do, not to mention that he will soon take the Meng family army there. Lishan, if we delay any longer, winter will be here soon.
The best way is to give the black iron snail to Meng Yi and let him take it to find the ore. In this case, there will be no delay for both parties.
But Ying Zheng couldn't make up his own mind as to whether he could hand over the Black Iron Snail to Meng Yi.
"Go and tell Lieutenant Li Sting to come in." Ying Zheng said.
Meng Yi responded, turned around and walked out the door.
Not long after, Meng Yi and Li Si entered the inner room together.
Ying Zheng told Li Si his thoughts.
Li Si thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you must also know the importance of the black iron snail. Once something goes wrong, the consequences will not be good."
Ying Zheng pulled Li Si aside and asked: "It is true that this Xuan Tie Luo is important, but Meng Yi is not someone else after all. If I can't even trust him, then there must be no trustworthy person around me."
"That's true." Li Si whispered, "I don't think Meng Yi would have sneaked into King Wu's Mausoleum with the black iron snail, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to open any key mechanisms."
The key institutions require Ying Zheng's bloody fingerprints.
Ying Zheng also whispered: "The biggest risk at present is that the black iron snail is lost by Meng Yi, but I wonder if there are other black iron snails there, senior?"
Li Si came close to Ying Zheng's ear, put his hand to his mouth, and whispered: "Weichen remembers that he seems to have it, but he doesn't know where it is stored. If he really loses this one, even if he has a backup, Xuan Tie Luo may have to wait until the day when Master arrives."
This risk is actually not small. What Ying Zheng lacks most is time.
However, the possibility of this risk occurring is relatively small.
Besides, Ying Zheng also has his own plans.
Ying Zheng turned around, looked at Meng Yi, and asked solemnly: "Meng Yi, if I hand over this black iron snail to you,
Hands, can you cherish them as if they were life? "
Meng Yi knew that King Qin was asking himself extremely solemnly, so he said sincerely: "If the king entrusts this thing to Meng Yi's hands for a while, Meng Yi will definitely cherish and protect it, even if he risks his life, he will protect it. Let this black iron snail be lost in the wrong hands."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Your words are enough. Early tomorrow morning, you can go into the palace to get the black iron snail."
"Wei Chen takes orders." Meng Yi cupped his hands and said.
"Also." Ying Zheng said seriously, "If we want to protect each other with our lives, having this heart is enough. If there is a danger, the most important thing is your life. You are my brother."
Meng Yi nodded seriously as well, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.
"When you encounter problems, discuss it with Tian Yi more often, and don't rush into everything." Ying Zheng warned.
"Weichen took note of it," Meng Yi said.
"Okay." Ying Zheng patted Meng Yi's shoulder lightly, "Get ready and leave tomorrow."
"Yes." Meng Yi responded.
"Go and call your brother." Ying Zheng said.
"Okay." Meng Yi went out and called Meng Tian.
Not long after, Meng Tian pushed in the door alone.
"Your Majesty," Meng Tian said, cupping his hands.
Ying Zheng motioned for Meng Tian to sit down and said, "I just made some arrangements for Meng Yi. What do you think about training his courage on him?"
Meng Tian very much agreed with Ying Zheng's approach, so he said: "Meng Yi is born with this weakness, and he should have tempered it, but just don't have any accidents."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that you understand my approach very well."
Meng Tian sighed softly and said: "If you don't cultivate yourself, you can't become a great weapon. Just like the process of forging a magical weapon that we saw today, only by removing the impurities and dross can it truly become a refined material."
"Haha..." Ying Zheng's smile became even brighter, "This metaphor is very appropriate. Then tell me, what impurities and dross are there in your body?"
"Weichen..." Meng Tian frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Weichen's temperament is a little more straightforward, and sometimes he can be quite impatient."
"Do you want to be like Meng Yi and practice hard?" Ying Zheng asked, looking directly at Meng Tian.
"What does the king mean?" Meng Tian didn't quite understand how to temper his impatience.
Ying Zheng said: "Didn't I say that I want you to follow me to Mount Li to build the royal tomb, and the Meng family army will also take on the heavy responsibility of the construction. This matter can be regarded as wronging you, the Meng family army."
Meng Tian didn't quite understand what this had to do with letting him overcome his impatience.
"Think about it, if you lead troops to build royal tombs, it may be extremely boring. You may repeat the same thing every day, and you will be impatient." Ying Zheng explained, "If I can persist for a period of time, I will definitely treat you like this. His impatience changed."
Only then did Meng Tian suddenly realize: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will stick to it and won't be impatient."
"Do you feel aggrieved?" Ying Zheng asked again.
"Since building a mausoleum for the king that is the same as King Wu's mausoleum is a big deal after all." Meng Tian said, "Wei Chen himself does not feel wronged, but if he says that he does not feel wronged by the entire Meng family army, that is not what Wei Chen thinks. "
"Haha, that's right. What I want to hear is what is in my heart." Ying Zheng said, "Are you more worried that if there is a war, the Meng family army will not be able to escape?"
Meng Tian nodded vigorously.
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian with a slightly comforting look: "Don't worry, let's spread the reputation of 'my weapon', and whoever dares to attack us, don't forget, Father Zhong is a master in this field."
Meng Tian finally smiled and said, "I think Sima Jie will also be able to help."
"Not bad." Ying Zheng said, "Let your father stay in Xianyang and help Wei Liao train the new army. Then we can split up and take a multi-pronged approach."
"Wei Chen takes orders." Meng Tian cupped his hands and said.
In this way, everyone under Ying Zheng was assigned tasks and each showed their talents.
