The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Let's talk about it after it's created." Shangwen said angrily.Manufacturing is not my business.To go through countless experiments.I thought I almost couldn't get up and down this time.

A messenger quickly ran to Meng Tian Shangwen.

He stepped forward and said. "See General Meng, Mr. Qin."

"What's the matter?" Meng Tian asked.

"The general has something important to discuss with General Meng and Mr. Qin." The messenger said.

"Understood. You step back." Meng Tian waved his hand to signal.

Shangwen heard that there was something important to discuss.It must be a military matter.I am a weapon maker.Who knows what's going on.Not fighting.

"Let's go. What are you thinking about?" Shang Wen said to Meng Tian who was in a daze.

"You said the general. Tell me what to do." Meng Tian said.

Shang Wen gave Meng Tian a supercilious look.

57 Iron Smelting

The two came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Wang Jian handed them the victory report of the thousand-man team in the stronghold.

Meng Tian was surprised.For a mere 1000 people, [-] will be beheaded.Basically the vanguard of the Hu people was wiped out.

Shangwen couldn't see any way.I am not satisfied with the use of firearms mentioned in many letters, after all, they are weapons made by myself.Shangwen looked at the good news and smiled heartlessly.

Meng Tian moved Shang Wen with his elbow.

"Look, my firearms are powerful." Shangwen looked at the news with joy.

Meng Tian looked helpless.This guy is really overjoyed.

"I don't know, Mr. Qin, what's your opinion on the Hu people's next move?" Wang Jian said looking at the happy Shang Wen.

"This, this, military, I don't know. I can only make weapons. Weapons are made well. Military victories are bigger." Shang Wen said while rubbing the back of his head.

Wang Jian shook his head and said.

"However, I read the news that the barbarians are still not equipped with stirrups. They basically use bows and arrows. The accuracy is poor. Melee weapons rarely have long-handled weapons such as spears. There are 500 people in this assault. Because they are equipped Stirrups. You can ride freely on horseback without worrying about falling off. I think that our cavalry team can form such a team." Shang Wen put forward constructive opinions on weapons.

"Oh, you mean. Equip the polearms to the cavalry." Wang Jian said excitedly after hearing this.

"Yes. Because our army has stirrups. Soldiers can basically control horses after half a month of training. As long as they have another month, they can basically control horses freely. Riding skills have been compared with those on horseback. There is no difference between nomads." Shang Wen talked eloquently.

"The current training cavalry is basically selected from the infantry. They are not yet proficient in using the saber and iron sword that have just been issued. But they are familiar with the long-handled weapons of the infantry formation. Why don't we apply that." Shang Wen Speaking of.

"Yes, yes." Wang Jian nodded and said.

"Mr. Qin is right. The old man's thinking is a bit dull." Wang Jian said.

"Actually, what I want to say is, why don't we form a heavy cavalry." Shangwen said.

"Heavy cavalry." Wang Jian and Meng Tian said.

"What is that?" Meng Tian continued to ask.

"It's wearing heavy armor, and the horses are also wearing heavy armor. The soldiers are holding heavy weapons. For example. For example. The big spear outside." Shangwen said.

"You mean beryllium, right?" Meng Tian added.

"That's right. That's it." Shang Wen immediately responded.

"Think about it, if we sent such a heavy cavalry to directly face the barbarian army, the impact force must be so strong that it cannot be added." Shang Wen said.

"The impact force has indeed increased. But the mobility. Wearing heavy armor, horses and people can't bear it for a long time. The speed must not keep up." Meng Tian said thoughtfully.

"I think cavalry should be equipped with certain light cavalry. Heavy cavalry is mainly used for assault on the battlefield. Light cavalry should be like mercury, pouring into the enemy's formation and completely destroying the enemy." Wang Jian seemed to have thought of such a picture.The heavy cavalry violently charged the barbarians' cavalry army.The Hu people's light cavalry could not resist at all.The advancing Qing cavalry quickly followed up.Massacre.The battlefield is one-sided.

"Well, I think it's okay." Meng Tian nodded and said.

"But these heavy armors are hard to raise in a short period of time." Wang Jian said with some embarrassment.

"General. Aren't you guarding an iron factory?" Shang Wen asked back.

"Hahaha, I forgot. There is also a factory manager here." Wang Jian said with a smile.

Come out from the big tent of the Chinese army.Shangwen's pressure suddenly increased again.Now it's time to start smelting iron.Or large-scale iron smelting.Now follow my orders.The blast furnace has been built.

The coal dug from nearby has been piled up into mountains.With these Hun prisoners of war.Shangwen can completely ignore the coal mine accident.Plus use dynamite to blow off the overburden directly on top.The speed has been astonishingly fast.

The transportation of iron ore is somewhat difficult.After all, it takes a lot of manpower and animal power.Those Hun prisoners of war did not dare to use it.Once these guys have horses.Immediately became a warrior.You don't need to mention this kind of thing yourself.Everyone knows.Those officers guarding the prisoners of war were unusually fierce.As long as the Huns are a little slack.Can be beaten to death directly with a whip.sin.God forgive my sins.Unfortunately, I don't believe it.I don't know if I can forgive you.

"I'm leaving first. I have to hurry to smelt iron. The blast furnace will probably be completed today." Shang Wen and Meng Tian said hello and left.

And Meng Tian is still thinking about how to form the heavy cavalry.Wang Jian handed over this important task to Meng Tian.

The blast furnace has been built.Some brackets have not been removed.The work of smelting iron had already begun.

Start by lighting the coals with the wood.The high temperature of coal burning is rapidly heating the iron ore in the crucible.

Four or five Huns were pulling the wind sacs shirtless.Feeling extraordinarily strenuous.The Qin soldiers next to them didn't care how tired they were.Just feel the deceleration slightly.Immediately beat him.Holding a halberd in hand.The other hand held a whip on his waist and felt very majestic.Shangwen watched these Huns who had been tortured and had no strength shake their heads and leave.

Naofumi is walking up the bracket.A man with the appearance of a petty official ran over quickly.

"My lord." The little official saluted.

"Get up. Don't be too polite in the future. The factory is an important place, and there are busy people everywhere. This is not good." Shang Wen said.

"Thank you, my lord." The little official thanked him hastily.

"What's your name?" Shang Wen asked.

"The younger one is Li Er." The official replied.

"En. You know the technology of iron smelting." Shangwen asked.

"Responding to my lord's words. The young one is a blacksmith in Xianyang. He is just in charge of the fire." Li Er said truthfully.

"Then what do you think of this blast furnace?" Shang Wen asked.

"Back to my lord. The little one didn't understand why the adults built such a blast furnace for a while. The little one was in charge of some small furnaces. Those iron stones were not refined in a crucible. Instead, they were placed in the pre-prepared soil. .Finally. When the fire is very big, it starts to melt. Finally, take it out and put it away. It forms an iron block." Li Er said like a treasure.

After Shangwen heard it, he felt something was wrong.What is this guy talking about.Could it be the ancient iron smelting technology?

"Is this the technique you used in Xianyang?" Shangwen asked.

"Yes. The young one was learned from the master himself." Li Er said with some pride.
