"Strange Workshop?" Chen Fei was a little strange, wondering why Li Shimin suddenly mentioned this.

You must know that since the development of Thunderbolt in Qi Workshop, Li Shimin doesn't seem to have cared so much about the number of Thunderbolt Production.

Could it be ........

"Your Majesty, the current Qi Workshop is currently storing ......." Chen Fei was just halfway through his words, when he suddenly stopped, because Li Shimin waved his hand at Li Jing and the others, Li Jing and the others understood, and bowed and retreated.

"Go ahead." Li Shimin said lightly.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly in his heart, this Li Shimin is really cautious enough to do things, and he refuses to even reveal the number of thunderbolts.

"Back to Your Majesty, since the establishment of the Thunderbolt Workshop, the minister has made a total of 63,800 thunderbolts. Among them, a total of 47,000 clay pots were made, and the remaining 16,800 were covered with thin iron sheets. ”

"Huh? What is the difference between a clay pot and a tin sheet? Li Shimin asked.

Chen Fei said respectfully: "In fact, the difference is still very big, first of all, the thunderbolt made of ceramics is easy to shatter during transportation, once the container is broken, it means that the thunderbolt fire will be wasted, and it will not have the original effect." And iron won't, at least not shatter from collisions.

Second, the thunderbolt made of ceramics is too large, and a soldier may only be able to carry five or six on him, and these five or six can also greatly affect his speed. However, the iron is small in size and easy to carry, and it will not have much effect on a soldier to carry ten on him.

Finally, the clay pot is very easy to get wet, once the gunpowder is damp, it cannot ignite and explode, and the iron perfectly avoids this risk, and it is much better than the clay pot to prevent moisture.

So in general, the iron is an upgraded version made of clay pots, and its power and performance are much higher than before. It's just that because the cost of making iron is too high, it is currently only produced in small batches. ”

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded. "That's good, just keep up this momentum and produce, I may... It will be of great use! ”

Chen Fei's heart trembled, what Li Shimin said was probably the use of foreign troops, right? So where would the war make Li Shimin invest such a high cost? Northern? Western regions? Maybe it's both.

Now that he has mastered the artifact of thunderbolt fire, Li Shimin's heart has gradually grown, and his vision is no longer satisfied with the land he grasps in front of him. The peoples on horseback in the north, the Silk Road in the west....... He wants them all!

"By the way, I heard that your kid has also developed a new weapon, what is it called... Cannon? I haven't had a chance to see it, so I'll take it for now. ”

The boss wants to see it, and he has to watch it. Chen Fei nodded: "Your Majesty, please move to the hill outside the Qi Workshop." ”

"On the hill? How? Not a demonstration in the Odd Workshop? Li Shimin said curiously.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly, the internal demonstration cannon of the Qi Workshop? That would have to tear down the entire Strange Workshop.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, this cannon is very powerful, and the internal demonstration will cause chaos, so it's safer to go outside to watch."

"Oh?" Li Shimin laughed, pointed at Chen Fei and said with a smile: "You, you, I'm going to see what you kid has come up with, if it doesn't have that effect, be careful of giving you the crime of bullying the king!" ”

Chen Fei also laughed along with Hehe, and winked at Li Shimin at the same time. "Your Majesty, if the minister's new weapon is more powerful than he imagined, is there a reward?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Okay! As you said, if the power of this 'cannon' is really amazing, I can be rewarded! The choice is yours! ”

The choice is yours? A hint of excitement flashed in Chen Fei's eyes, but he was quickly forced down. "Calm down! Be calm now! Don't be in such a hurry with Linchuan! ”

After taking two deep breaths, Chen Fei tried to squeeze out a smile and walked out of the barracks with Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please go to the foot of that hill and wait first, and Weichen will go to the strange workshop first."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm looking forward to the cannon you told me about."

Chen Fei bowed and left, Li Shimin smiled and watched Chen Fei leave, and then asked Li Jing to take the special soldiers to the foot of the hill to observe.

Chen Fei rode back to the Qi Workshop on a fast horse and rushed straight to Li Zhuo's room.

"Bang!" The door was kicked open.

Li Zhuo didn't know what obscene things he was looking at, he was laughing lewdly, Chen Fei kicked the door open with a cold corner, startled him, and in a hurry, he turned over and fell to the ground.

"Oops! No way! Who is it! You won't knock when you come in? Li Zhuo got up from the ground angrily, but when he saw that it was Chen Fei, he immediately changed his attitude.

"Yo, I'm wondering who it will be, and you're the only one in the Strange Workshop who can kick open my door." Li Zhuo quietly hid a book in his hand behind him, pretending to be nothing. "Say, there must be something wrong with being in such a hurry."

"The book in your hand ......."

"Huh? Yes! This one... Hehe, I occasionally look at books, read books, study and study, hehehe. Li Zhuo's smile was very strange, and Chen Fei smiled because he saw something with sharp eyes.

"You see... Is it a spring palace map? ”

"Nonsense!" Li Zhuo immediately lowered his face: "During office hours, how can I look at these unpopular things?" Inexistent! Okay, what's the matter with you, tell me quickly. ”

"I need your order to open the warehouse, the warehouse for new weapons." Chen Fei didn't bother to quarrel with Li Zhuoduo, and directly explained his intentions.

"Open the warehouse?" Li Zhuo frowned. "What are you going to do with the warehouse?"

Because the Odd Workshop produces high-risk weapons such as thunderbolts, its internal management is very strict. The strictest places are nothing more than two, one is the workshop that produces thunderbolt fire. One is the warehouse where the Thunderbolt is stored.

Chen Fei is responsible for R&D, and Li Zhuo is responsible for management. And anything that involves opening the Thunderbolt warehouse must be ordered by two people.

Li Shimin was also afraid that the two of them would be careful, so the rules that were deliberately set at that time, and now that Chen Fei suddenly wanted to open the warehouse, Li Zhuo immediately became vigilant.

"Don't think about it, Your Majesty is waiting for me to demonstrate to him the power of the new weapon, if you don't believe it, come with me later. You can also count how much I take. ”

Hearing that His Majesty was outside, Li Zhuo suddenly smiled easily. He believed that Chen Fei would not lie to him. "Let's go, let's open the warehouse. To be honest, I haven't seen the power of your new weapon, I happened to be absent from the last time you were experimenting, so I'll take a look later. ”

"Let's go together, you can help me call a few more people, and work together to push that big guy out. Let them show off their might today! ”

"Good!"
