Everyone then came to the Ministry of Industry, and the excavator at this time also happened to be developed.

Lu Bu is all kinds of inspections, tracks, buckets, and levers have basically been formed.

Although it is not comparable to the excavators of later generations, it is indeed the first heavy machinery.

"Possible digging?" Lu Bu asked.

The steward said: "After returning to the temperature, I have been able to dig normally." However, the hydraulic system mentioned by Wen Hou has not been successfully developed. If you dig with such an excavator, it will only be equivalent to about ten times the manpower. The amount of coal consumed is far greater than manpower. ”

Lu Bu nodded, he knew that he was in a hurry.

Although he has explained the principle and manufacturing process of the hydraulic system, it is ineffective without the appropriate sealing technology and hydraulic oil.

The process can only be improved little by little.

"I know, let's build 500 such excavators first."

"Five...... Five hundred! The steward was stunned on the spot.

"What, there's a problem?"

The steward had no choice but to say: "Looking back, the current steel resources have priority over military factories, followed by agricultural tools, and finally tools." The excavator needs a lot of steel, and if it is manufactured in large quantities, our iron ore resources cannot keep up at all. ”

Lu Bu took a deep breath and felt uncomfortable again.

Although his smelting skills have been greatly improved, he can't dig more iron ore, which is equal to zero.

In order to conquer the world and have enough military reserves, Lu Bu asked military factories to produce all kinds of weapons without interruption.

With the improvement of various equipment, the resources required by military factories have also been greatly improved.

Iron ore, coal mines, and all sorts of other mines require people.

Mining requires people, factories need people, farming people, building houses, everything needs people, Lu Bu deeply feels that there are too few manpower.

Because his heart is too big to slow down at all.

He couldn't even build an excavator, and he talked about building a railroad and so on.

The steel resources required are simply innumerable.

Lu Bu sighed: "Let's build it with the only resources, and I will also study with you during this time, and strive to improve the performance again." ”

"Thank you for your wait!" The steward was overjoyed. With Lu Bu, all kinds of research are simply rocket-like improvements.

Every time a problem cannot be solved, Lu Bu immediately solves it easily.

Lu Bu first went back to his home to explain some things, and then prepared to stay in the Ministry of Industry for a while.

It was precisely because of checking the current situation that Lu Bu's mood was very depressed.

Coupled with the previous dissatisfaction of Haoqiang and the rejection of Kong Ming and others, Lu Bu was depressed.

"Hmph, a traitor!" Lu Bu couldn't help but snort coldly. Pang Tong's words must be a polite version. What Zhuge Liang said is even more ugly.

In that case, then don't blame him for suppressing it.

Lu Bu knows Zhuge Liang's ability, which is a talent who can support a country's military and internal affairs alone.

According to the news, Zhuge Liang is 19 years old this year and has just moved to Nanyang, and he has only worshiped Sima Hui as his teacher.

Now Zhuge Liang has not married Huang Yueying, and Lu Bu's idea is to cut off Hu.

Without Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang's talent would have to drop by two percent, not to mention a three-percent drop.

According to the original history, Zhuge Liang only went out of the mountain to help Liu Bei in 207, that is, when he was 27 years old.

Now that history has changed, Lu Bu is not sure whether Zhuge Liang will leave the mountain in advance.

Lü Bu soon sent an envoy to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao.

Lu Bu believed that Liu Biao would never be able to refuse his request.

After sending the envoy, Lu Bu went to the Ministry of Industry to develop various machines with peace of mind.

Hydraulic technology must be overcome, otherwise it is too inefficient. Not to mention achieving a thousand-fold human effect, it must at least have a hundredfold effect.

As a result, he was able to dig the entire canal in three years.

Because he wants the canal to be wider and deeper, and to exist for thousands of generations.

In addition to this, there are machines for quarrying.

Without machine cutting, the quarried stone would be difficult to level.

To do it, you have to do it to the best of your ability.

Gravel can also be used to pave roads and pave the way for future roads and railways.

The most important thing is to be able to build an oil extractor and usher in the era of the internal combustion engine.

Lu Bu had too many things in his heart to create, but he also knew that he couldn't be fast at all.

Everything can only be done slowly.

A few days later, Lü Bu's envoy arrived in Xiangyang and met with Liu Biao.

And after trying the Tang Mo knife sent by Lu Bu, how could Liu Biao not be excited. You know, this is not a magic weapon, but 50,000 handles.

But this matter is big, and Liu Biao wants to gather his important ministers to discuss together.

Similarly, Liu Biao Group also has two major factions.

Chua's and Kuai's.

Kuai Liang took the lead in speaking: "My lord, Liang thinks this matter is feasible. According to Liang, Cao Cao married three daughters, and he was defeated by Lu Bu and Yuan Shao. And Yuan Xi exchanged Zhen Mi for 30,000 Mo knives and 30,000 battle armor. Now the 50,000 Tang Dao that Lu Bu said will not be fake. ”

Liu Biao nodded, and then looked at Cai Mao.

Cai Mao nodded immediately: "Yueying has also reached the age of marriage, and it is beneficial for us to be able to make friends with Lu Bu." With these 50,000 sabers, we will not be afraid of Sun Ce and Cao Cao. ”

"Yes, yes, Lu Bu is not close to us, and it is suitable for long-distance and close attacks. This matter can be done, please don't hesitate! The rest of the ministers chimed in.

Because they also really like Lu Bu's products, in case they have a bad relationship with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu doesn't sell these products to Jingzhou, then they will be depressed.

Seeing that everyone unanimously agreed, Liu Biao nodded in agreement.

It's just that he still has to discuss this matter with his wife.

Huang Chengyan's reputation is quite high, and it is difficult to do this without the consent of the other party.

Soon, Liu Biao explained the matter to Mrs. Cai, and asked Mrs. Cai to help persuade Huang Chengyan.

For the sake of the great cause, Mrs. Cai wanted to help Liu Biao.

Moreover, with one more force in Lu Bu, it will also have great benefits for her Cai family, so it is unreasonable.

Mrs. Cai hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, husband, just leave this matter to me!" ”

Liu Biao nodded, and gave full authority to Mrs. Cai.

But seeing that Liu Biao didn't have much joy, Mrs. Cai couldn't help but ask: "Husband doesn't seem to be happy?" ”

"Hey!" Liu Biao sighed: "In addition to marrying Yueying, Lu Bu also asked for someone for her husband." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Huang Zhong!"

"Huang Zhong?" Mrs. Cai echoed: "This person is just a small general, just give it, why doesn't the husband like it?" ”

Liu Biao shook his head: "Huang Zhong's martial arts are extraordinary, he is a great talent, and he has been recommended to his husband several times. ”

Mrs. Cai was surprised: "In that case, why doesn't the husband reuse this person?" ”

Liu Biao smiled bitterly: "Huang Zhong is a side branch of the Huang family, and he is at odds with Huang Zu. With Huang Zu here, how can the husband reuse him. And there are many civil and military people who don't like Huang Zhong! ”

"This!" Mrs. Cai instantly understood all cause and effect.

Although Jingzhou is an outstanding person, there are many families, and the relationship between each family is even more complicated.

Although Liu Biao is the head of a state, he does not control all the power at all.

This is also one of the reasons why he can only hold on and cannot go out.

After understanding the reason, Mrs. Cai smiled: "Since Huang Zhong made her husband distressed, then simply give it to Lu Bu." The value of 50,000 sabers far exceeds that of Huang Zhong. ”

"Hah!" Liu Biao smiled bitterly again. How to understand the importance of talents.

It's just that he doesn't plan to change anything. The ministers all agreed to Lu Bu's request, and it was difficult for him to change anything.

Soon, the matter reached Huang Chengyan.

However, Huang Chengyan was furious.
