"Good stuff, really good stuff!" Gao Yuan smiled and patted the body of the Divine Machine Crossbow vigorously, "Master Zhou, is this thing energy produced?"

After receiving Gao Yuan's affirmation and praise, Zhou Jingzhi's face suddenly smiled, "Du Du, this is a prototype after repeated improvements, and it is also a finalizing machine, if Du Du is satisfied, the workshop will be put into production immediately."

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but I want to ask the generals who lead the troops if they're dissatisfied!" Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at the group of generals under his command, "How about it, let's talk about it!"

Xu Yuan was the first to jump out and patted He Jingzhi on the shoulder vigorously, "Chief He, our Northern Group Army wants a thousand of these things, no problem, right?"

Xu Yuan is a military general, but this He Jingzhi He is just an ordinary craftsman, although it is much stronger than the bones of ordinary scholars, but it is comparable to Xu Yuan.

"Commander Xu really has a big appetite, Chief He, in this case, our Eastern Group Army also needs a thousand units."

Ye Chong said leisurely: "Two commanders, you seem to have forgotten that the armament of the army is uniformly deployed by the Ministry of War, who to give it to and not to whom, can Director He call the shots?"

Xu Yuan and He Lanxiong were stunned, but they saw that Ye Chong had turned his face to Gao Yuan, and he smiled all over his face: "Governor, this Northern Group Army and the Eastern Group Army have been fighting continuously for the past year, and they have all suffered losses in different ways, and the next thing is to reorganize and train, for the time being, there will be no war that requires them to go out, and our Southern Group Army is immediately facing combat missions in several directions, this magic crossbow, give us a thousand first!"

Looking at Ye Chong's appearance, two words immediately popped up in Helanxiong's mind: "Shameless." Four words, "Shameless!" I didn't expect the dignified General Ye Chongye to behave like this.

Gao Yuan laughed, and did not answer the words of a few commanders, but said to He Jingzhi: "This divine crossbow, if it is put into mass production, how much can it be made in a month, and how much does it cost?"

The weapons he made could be favored by several important generals, and He Jingzhi's eyes narrowed with a smile, "If you go back to the governor, if the entire workshop is fully put into production, it will probably be able to make about fifty units per month, and the cost of each one will be four hundred taels of silver."

As soon as He Jingzhi's words fell, there was already a gasping sound around him, the whole workshop was made with all its might, only 50 units a month, and only 600 units a year, which was not enough for everyone to stuff their teeth, not to mention how could the entire arsenal be fully invested in making this magic crossbow, and one cost more than 400 taels of silver, which was inevitably too expensive.

As soon as they thought of this, several people immediately became depressed again, this thing, if there is less equipment, it will not show much power.

"What are you doing with such a delicate killing?" Gao Yuan ignored the loss of several generals, and stroked the cloud patterns carved on the body of the crossbow machine, "These lines, I'm afraid it will take a job, right?" There is also this bracket, polished to the eye, this divine crossbow, it looks like a beautiful object, He, you think about it again, how to shorten the working hours, reduce the cost, more than four hundred taels of silver, too expensive."

"Yes, don't worry, we will definitely work hard, this one is a prototype, everyone will work harder, and strive to make it more beautiful."

"There is no need to do these face-saving efforts. All I want is the actual effect." Gao Yuan waved his hand, "But it is also a great achievement to be able to make this divine crossbow, if you can reduce costs and shorten working hours, I will give you another great credit, and there will be a reward in the hall when you go back!"

"It is the duty of the lower officials to do things for the Zhengdong Mansion!" He Jingzhi's face was even more smiling, but his mouth was still humble.

"If you have merit, you will be punished, this is the law of our expedition to Dongfu!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "You go back and make a list of meritorious people and report them first."

"Yes."

"What else do you have here? Take them all out and open your eyes to the big guy!" Takato turned and walked in the direction of the workshop, saying as he went, "Let's go to the workshop."

He Jingzhi hurriedly chased after him, "For more than a year, the crossbow machine workshop has mainly been developing this divine machine crossbow, and has no energy to do anything else, but there are a few descendants who are born on the basis of the divine machine crossbow, and are thinking about a crossbow machine that can shoot thousands of crossbow arrows at one time, but now, it is just an eyebrow. Because of the shortage of funds, this is what they are doing by themselves, so they are also doing it and stopping."

"Shoot a thousand crossbow arrows at once!" He Jingzhi's words were thrown out, but everyone, including Gao Yuan, was taken aback.

"Yes, Governor, they envisage this crossbow machine to be mounted on a wagon and dragged by a wagon."

"Vehicle-mounted crossbow!" A light flashed in Gao Yuan's mind, this is a big killer.

"It's a lot of ideas, take these people out, form a special research team, let them study this thing, and allocate another fund." Gao Yuan stopped, "If I can get it, I'll test it myself."

"Yes, Dudu!" He Jingzhi nodded again and again.

"Don't put pressure on them, work slowly."

While speaking, a group of people have walked into the huge workshop, hundreds of meters long in the workshop system, divided into a piece of production area, different areas are responsible for different production processes, a wheelbarrow shuttles back and forth in different areas, and the products that have completed the first process are sent to the next process, the whole workshop is busy and orderly, and the workers inside, in addition to the strong men, there are also the elderly and women.

"How come there are old people and women?" Ye Zhong frowned.

"Commander Ye, the old man and the woman are engaged in some light work, and they don't need to be physical, these people are also the families of the craftsmen here, recruiting them to do the work, firstly, it can reduce their chances of going out, so as not to be taken advantage of by those who have a heart, and in addition, it can also increase their income, which is also approved by President Cao of the Supervision Yuan." He Jingzhi explained again and again.

"Dudu, is this what you call assembly line work?" Xu Yuan asked on the side, "Each person is only responsible for one process, so he only needs to specialize in this one, so that he can speed up the production speed and accuracy of the production and improve the quality?"

"That's right!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The Qin people are also very particular about the production of weapons, for example, each of their crossbow arrows must be engraved with the name of the maker, if there is a problem with the quality, you can check the responsibility of the maker according to the name, this practice, the quality is up, but the efficiency is down, once the war is fought for many years, it will inevitably have problems on the supply."

"So how do we guarantee quality here?" Xu Yuan looked at He Jingzhi.

"Back to the commander, we here, each process will set up one or two quality inspectors, not every product is inspected, but a certain number of random inspections, once a problem is found in the spot check, the whole batch will be sent back to redo, we here is the implementation of piecework wages, so no one dares to be sloppy on the quality, if there are more than three problems in a month, it is not just a problem of not getting paid, but a problem to be punished." He Jingzhi replied: "So the products of our workshop have never had problems with quality."

"It sounds like it's a lot more powerful than the Qin people." Helan Xiong smiled and said.

Gao Yuan smiled and said nothing, "Master He, take us to see the armor making workshop, I heard that you have made some stamping machine?"

"Yes, Du Du, since our Eastern Army began to use plate armor, the order from the military has been getting bigger and bigger, but this kind of plate armor seems simple, but it requires craftsmen to hammer it out one by one, which not only requires a lot of manpower, but also has low efficiency, so several masters in our workshop have managed to make this thing, first stamping and thinning the iron plate, and then cutting it and polishing it manually, the speed has increased dozens of times compared with before. And the old craftsmen who invented this press were also rewarded by the government hall, and now they are all officials."

Before entering the workshop of making zuò armor, the loud sound of clanging has been transmitted to the ears, several generals who command the army know that in the army, plate armor has gradually replaced other armor such as Mingguang armor, chain mail and other armor in the large-scale equipment of the army, the armor on the ordinary soldiers in the past is very poor or not at all, but now, the plate armor has begun to be installed, and the survival rate of the soldiers on the battlefield has increased greatly, but they don't know how to get this thing. Compared with other armors, plate armor is simple to wear, and the protection ability is also greatly increased, not only can block arrows, but also has a considerable blocking effect on close slashing, which is deeply loved by front-line soldiers.

Walking into the factory, what greeted them was a huge hammer-like thing hanging high and low, some were falling, some were slowly rising, behind those machines, pulling these huge hammers up was actually a healthy cow, the healthy bull walked slowly around a grinding disc-like thing, the grinding disc rotated, twisted the iron chain, after three laps, the hammer was raised, and then fell with a bang, smashing heavily on the iron plate on the platform below. Repeatedly, on one side of the platform, several workers pulled the iron plates, so that various places were constantly hammered, so that the iron plates were all thinned.

On the other side, thinned iron plates have been cut into small pieces, some workers are polishing the edges, while further away, others are eye-punching the sheets, putting on the leather cords, tying the leather cords, and a piece of plate armor is freshly baked.

"That's how it came out." Xu Yuan and the others were a little shocked.

Looking at this qiē, Gao Yuan also nodded slightly, people's wisdom is really endless, even such things have been made for them, it seems that he can tell him the idea of a hydraulic stamping machine, although he doesn't know how that thing is made, but as long as he has this idea, these experienced old craftsmen, or they can drum it up.
