Chapter 213: Plug in
Previously, in order to avoid the anger of Qin Muhou Dong Shou, around the beginning of the seventy-fifth year of Emperor Yitian, Chen Hai lived a boring two-point and one-line life between the East Camp of the Suwei Army and the Mojia Division, and temporarily closed down the armor shops in Tieqiao Lane, and at the same time he also let Shen Kun, Ge Tong, Zhou Jingyuan, Ding Shuang and others stay in Juquanling to practice with peace of mind, build the foundation of Juquanling, and easily not come to Gyeonggi.

After Qin Muhou Dong Shou led Hexi's soldiers and horses eastward, Hexi's people and affairs in Gyeonggi were again under the responsibility of Dong Pan, and the atmosphere full of gunpowder was slightly relaxed.
It was also by mid-March that Ding Shuang, Ge Tong, Shen Xiu and other talents led more than 30 guards to travel thousands of miles from Juquanling to Yanjing to join Chen Hai.
Ding Shuang and Ge Tong not only brought the Xuanwolf Chariot, the Hexagonal Hook Scythe, the Xuanti Bow, and the Armor-Piercing Arrow that Chen Hai left in Juquanling to Yanjing, but also brought several new trial beasts and a new batch of gold-level armor from Juquanling.
Although Chen Hai worked hard to build a more complete production system in Juquanling, and some basic resources and materials had to be self-sufficient, the top-level refining resources, such as the Heavenly Treasures such as Xuan Pi Fetal Iron and Red Marrow Copper, as well as a large number of pills that many people cultivated and tens of thousands of hungry prisoners needed to improve their physique and strengthen their muscles and bones, all needed to be imported from the outside.
And that's not a small number.
This requires Juquanling to have the ability to transport sophisticated armor and equipment to the outside on a large scale at the same time, in order to maintain a balance between entry and exit.
Although Juquanling continued to undertake the construction of armor and equipment in Tongbei at this time, with the transfer of the main force of the Xiyuan Army to Qintong Mountain, the status of Tongbei Warehouse was rapidly marginalized, and the business volume that Juquanling could undertake from Tongbei Warehouse was also sharply reduced, and it shrank to less than one-tenth of its previous peak after the year.
The authority of the Jingying Army's larger-scale procurement of armor and weapons has been separated from the Taiwei Mansion and transferred to the Governor's Office to carry out the supervision together with the Xiyuan Army, the Su Guard Army, the Tiger Ben Army and the Jingzhao Mansion Guard.
Even if the armor shop in Tieqiao Lane reopened for business, at this time, as the most sophisticated quenching armor in the iron armor, it would not worry about selling, but the largest purchaser of the primary organ beast was still the Jingying Army.
The primary Trap Beast is expensive, but it cannot be used to charge on the battlefield, and the main use is the transportation of bulk materials.
Since the 70th anniversary of Emperor Yitian, the county governments around Gyeonggi have been in frequent wars, not only a large number of cattle, horses, mules and donkeys have been plundered and slaughtered, but also the official pastures have been hit hard.
Even the lowest-level Trap Beasts are expensive, and the cost of a primary Trap Beast is comparable to that of a first-class green cunning horse, but even if the green cunning horse is domesticated artificially, it is extremely difficult to reproduce, and the domestication in the later stage takes several years or even more than ten years, and the foundry controlled by the clan clan is much easier to build a primary Trap Beast.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the military can only use a large number of wooden cattle to supplement the serious shortage of transportation capacity.
Although the cost of the machine beast is high and the loss is large, in the mountainous Heyang County, Yanmen County, and Jiyang County, ordinary mules, horses, camels and beasts are far inferior to the machine wood beasts when they cross the mountains and mountains.
Chen Hai is in the Mojia Division, and he is clear about the needs of the military.
As long as the war does not stop, the Su Guard Army, the Tiger Ben Army and the Xiyuan Army need to replenish at least 10,000 wooden oxen every year to barely meet the grain and grass transfer of 560,000 elite soldiers and horses.
If the fighting continues to escalate, the number of soldiers and horses gathered in the area west of Gyeonggi continues to grow, and the Wandering Army realizes the importance of outflanking and harassing the food routes of the Huben army, the number of Wooden Cattle that need to be replenished each year will continue to increase significantly.
Although this kind of primary puppet beast is very inconspicuous, but the absolute quantity determines the absolute profit, as long as Juquanling can take a piece of the pie from here at this time, coupled with the resources that Juquanling itself can generate, it will not be a problem to feed fifty or sixty thousand talents, and it can continue to develop and expand.
At the same time, Juquanling also needs to enter the situation of mass production puppets, so as to slowly improve the management and manufacturing level of the foundry to a higher level, and to batch manufacture more complex and powerful god machine chariots.
***********************
Although the Mojia Division is responsible for the bidding and technical supervision of the puppets of the organs, the foundries that previously supplied various puppets to the Jingying Army were all behind the figures of the clan clans, and now they suddenly want to add a new family to come in, and Zhao Sihan, the Si of the Mojia Division, did not dare to make a claim, and Chen Hai could only go directly to Chen Xuanzhen, who was in charge of the prison.
Chen Xuanzhen did not refuse, and informed the Mojia Division to prepare for some tests for the several trap beasts sent by Juquanling.
The frequent wars, the consumption of the wooden cattle has increased several times compared with the past, and the craftsmen and craftsmen have been squeezed to the extreme in the more than a dozen foundries that have been fixed in the past, so that the quality of the wooden cattle sent over in recent months is uneven, and the loss ratio has also soared.
The Xiyuan Army did not go out of Wushengguan, the situation was better, the prince Yan Dan's main man in charge of grain and heavy baggage, although people did not dare to run back to Yanjing City, but the impeachment chapter was sent over like snowflakes, accusing the general of being a prisoner of deliberately dragging the tiger army's hind legs.
In the four-year struggle for imperial power between the emperor and the crown prince, Chen Xuanzhen firmly stood on the emperor's side, helping King Ying and Wen Boyuan to give advice behind the scenes, but he fundamentally maintained the stability of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Now that Chen Hai has come to the door, on the appointed day, Chen Xuanzhen asked the chief of the Xiyuan Army to pay heavy food and salary, and Tu Chongzheng, the commander of the scattered cavalry, and made a special trip to the test site to which the Mojia Division belonged, to see what advantages the several wooden oxen sent by Juquanling were.
On the side of the Mojia Division, except for Si Cheng and Zhao Sihan, those master craftsmen and young craftsmen from the sect were full of opinions on Chen Xuanzhen and Chen Hai.
In fact, the dozens of foundries that had supplied all kinds of trap beasts to the Mojia Division before had a lot to do with the sect lords where these master craftsmen and young master masters were located, and they guessed at this time that Chen Xuanzhen was likely to open up the net for Juquanling and snatch food from their clan's mouth, and they were unable to change this, so they were even more reluctant to come over to join in the fun.
But it was the five young craftsmen from the cold family who were willing to come out to help, in addition to wanting to see what was outstanding in Juquanling, there was also the fact that Chen Xuanzhen took good care of the disciples from the Han clan in the school palace, and these five people had discussed with Chen Xuanzhen in the early years to teach the puppet of the agency.
At this time, Juquanling also successfully tried to produce a machine chariot that could be used in actual combat, but Chen Hai would not be in a hurry to take it, but the few machine wooden oxen that he took out had also undergone substantial structural improvements on the basis of the original.
Chen Xuanzhen is proficient in refining, he is one of the most refining masters in Yanzhou, and he also has a deep knowledge of the puppet technique, he walked to the test site and took a look, he changed color slightly, and looked at Chen Hai: "Juquanling has greatly improved the internal structure of the mechanism beast?"
Zhao Sihan and the other five young craftsmen, at first glance, saw that Ding Shuang, Ge and the beast they moved down from the closed carriage were one-third smaller than normal, and thought that Juquanling was only shrinking the beast in the same proportion, but they didn't expect that the internal structure had been greatly improved.
According to the rules, if Juquanling wants to supply the Trap Beast to the Jingying Army through the Ink Armor Division, it can report the drawings to the Ink Armor Division, and there is no problem with the Ink Armor Division to review the drawings, and then compare the drawings with the real thing, which can be regarded as passing the technical review - Juquanling does not have to worry about leaking secrets, because it will definitely leak secrets, and this is also the price of wanting to sell the Trap Beasts to the Jingying Army in batches.
Zhao Sihan and many young craftsmen have practiced for half their lives to specialize in the puppet technique of the organ before they can serve in the Mojia Division. They all know that there are only a few primary trap beasts used for material transportation, and the internal structure of these primary-trap beasts with the wind gust box as the core, after thousands of years of evolution and development, can be said to have little room for improvement.
It can even be said that the more elementary the Trap Beast, the less room for internal improvement.
The craftsmen of Juquanling can be called geniuses if they can make a slight improvement to the interior of the primary mechanism beast, but in their opinion, it is absolutely impossible to make a significant improvement.
The internal structure must be overhauled, and the Trap Beast will only get worse and worse, which is not an improvement, but a mess.
"How can it be changed like this?" Xue Cun was one of the only two young craftsmen of the Enlightenment Realm in the Mojia Division, he unfolded the drawings, and saw at a few glances that compared with the conventional Organ Wood Ox, there were many changes to the forelimbs of the Trap Beast produced by Juquanling, and he was shocked and inexplicably questioned that these changes in Juquanling would reduce the performance of the forelimbs of the Trap Beast.
"......" Chen Hai smiled slightly, but just stretched out his hand to ask the young craftsman Xue Cun to personally test the performance of the Trap Beast.
He also thought that the internal improvement of the primary mechanism beast was already quite conservative, but he didn't expect it to cause so much disturbance, and it was not surprising to think about it.
In the current world, the study of puppetry, has been limited to a fixed thinking, in a specific direction, the range of improvement is naturally narrower and narrower, but his fusion of the two worlds of thinking inertia, brought about a change in direction, so the space for change brought is far beyond the imagination of the world.
Another young craftsman of the Ming Realm, Ji Yuan Ren, also came over with a solemn expression, and even did not hesitate to destroy the natal true element, turning it into flames and burning molten sand, shaping the terrain of the test site to be more rugged and realistic, so as to more accurately test the performance of the trap beast.
