These new factories were able to manufacture a variety of civilian and military items, as well as smelt better steel for weapons.

Jiang Chuan continued to check, and after clicking on the shipyard's menu, he found that the number of warships in the shipyard was three more.

Originally, there was only one type of armed transport ship, which is now the main battleship used by the naval division.

Strictly speaking, this kind of armed transport ship is just a transport ship loaded with artillery, and it is not a real warship.

They are small in size, have poor resistance to wind and waves at sea, and are prone to danger in the event of a real warship or a harsh climate.

And now after the upgrade, there are real warships.

There are three types of real warships, including heavy warships, escort warships, and mortar warships.

These three types of warships were much larger than armed transport ships, of which mortar warships were the largest, followed by frigates, and finally heavy warships.

Of course, their advantage over armed transport ships is not only in size, but also because of the larger hull and deeper draft, which makes them more resistant to wind and waves.

In addition, the guns on these ships were several times more powerful than the armed transports in terms of range, accuracy, and power.

Among them, the most powerful artillery is, of course, the mortar warships loaded with heavy artillery guns. The trajectory of this gun is curved, but the power is extremely great. With a single shot, it can directly sink a ship of the size of an armed transport ship.

However, it is clear that the heavy mortar warship was used as the flagship of the naval division, because the hull was so large and towering that it looked like a towering fat man. In addition to the two heavy naval guns mounted in the bow and stern, dozens of direct-fire guns were also installed on the left and right side sides.

Therefore, this fat man can't help but resist beating, and beating people is also very sharp.

The frigates, on the other hand, were much slimmer, with no heavy naval guns at the bow and stern, and only direct-fire guns on both sides. Because it is slim, it is more flexible.

Although the heavy warships were small, they carried the most guns, because they often played a leading role in naval battles.

However, after carefully checking the information of these warships, Jiang Chuan still has some regrets.

Because these warships are still sail-powered, and there is no ironclad battleship powered by steam as he imagined, which has to be said to be a pity.

In the industrial era, Jiang Chuan felt that the most significant symbol should be the birth of the steam engine and the improvement of the steam engine.

If there is a landmark event of the first revolution, it must be the birth and improvement of the steam engine.

At present, among all the technological upgrades, Jiang Chuan does not see the option of steam engine.

He asked the system in confusion, and the system told him that it was still the pre-industrial era. In order for steam engine technology to emerge, the system must be upgraded to the post-industrial era before this new technology can be used and applied.

The words of the system made Jiang Chuan very painful, but it could only be so.

He wasn't naïve enough to think that a liberal arts student who didn't know anything about steam engines could invent a steam engine, and he didn't have the talent or equipment to do so, so he had to wait for the next upgrade of the system.

However, although it was a pity that there were no steam ironclad ships, Jiang Chuan still ordered the construction of five heavy mortar warships, as well as ten frigate warships, and twenty heavy warships after calculating the funds on hand.

In this way, there has been a qualitative leap in the combat effectiveness of the naval division. Even if you encounter a strong enemy at sea, you can now have the strength to fight.

After reviewing all the menus, Jiang Chuan built a quilt factory and a steel mill based on the available funds and resources.

These two things are still achievable for the current level of science and technology.

As for the other factories, Jiang Chuan found that not only is the cost relatively high, but also because some technologies cannot be reached, they can only be built after the system is upgraded to the post-industrial era.

The high-quality products produced by the steelworks can be used as raw materials for muskets and cannons to enter the gun foundry to make weapons.

Those products that are slightly inferior can be used to produce civilian utensils, including various tableware and agricultural tools.

As for the clothing factory, it is more widely used, which can produce all kinds of military uniforms for the troops, as well as civilian clothing.

After learning about the new changes in this upgrade of the system, Egawa withdrew from the fortress base.

Now we have to wait for two days later, when all the technical upgrades in the arsenal are completed, and new muskets and artillery can be made.

After these artillery muskets were manufactured, they were to be sent to Weihaiwei to equip the front-line troops used to exterminate the Japanese invaders.

Two days passed quickly, and Jiang Chuan got a hint that all the technical upgrades in the arsenal had been completed.

He couldn't wait to click on the Gun Foundry's manufacturing menu.

He noticed a new change in the names of the weapons that could be crafted in the menu:

For example, the types of muskets have changed from a single flintlock musket to three types of muskets: the rotary bolt rifle used by the infantry, the carbine used by the dragoons, and the hand-to-hand pistol.

On the artillery side, there are also several types of artillery that have been increased from the original single field artillery, including: light howitzers, medium howitzers; light direct-fire guns, medium direct-fire guns; Light mortars, as well as medium mortars. In total, there were six types of artillery. The bomblets used by the original grenadiers were also upgraded to hand grenades, and they were the same wooden-handled grenades.

As a person who came from the era of highly developed hot weapons, Jiang Chuan was already overjoyed to see the names of these familiar weapons.

He didn't expect that after this system upgrade, the scope of technology would be so large, and there was a feeling of suddenly becoming an upstart from ordinary people.

Looking at the names of these eye-popping weapons, Egawa couldn't wait to order the start of manufacturing. Among them: 10,000 muskets were manufactured, including 5,000 revolving bolt rifles, 3,000 carbines, and 2,000 pistols.

In terms of artillery, Jiang Chuan originally wanted to directly manufacture at least 200 artillery pieces, but after looking at his own meagre funds, he finally gritted his teeth and made a total of 50 guns, of which 40 were light mortars and heavy mortars that could follow the infantry.

After such a large-scale weapon manufacturing and warship manufacturing, Jiang Chuan's current home has basically been emptied again.

But he doesn't care, now that he has a plantation, his funds will continue to replenish quickly, so he doesn't have to worry.

Now wait for these muskets and cannons to be made and see for yourself.
