After completing this earth-shattering event in Lin'an, in the spirit of being fair to both Song and Jin. Zhang Yun went to Jin Guozhong without any difficulty.

Zhang Yun also didn't care what kind of impact this behavior would have on the entire Central Plains. After finishing the incident, he went straight back to Hainan with nothing to do.

Suddenly hearing the news that Zhang Yun had returned, Wang Xiangdong immediately put down everything in his hand. With a look of ecstasy, he rushed into the tent.

"Dashuai, that kind of machine has really been trial-produced, not only what is it called nitric acid or something, but the craftsmen below also have a clue......

"Click!" Wang Xiangdong hasn't finished speaking. The teacup in Zhang Yun's hand fell to the ground with a click, and at the same time, his eyes looked straight at Wang Xiangdong.

"Let's go! Let's take a look......"

When he really saw the primitive steam engine, Zhang Yun instantly felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses passing by in his mind.

"This is the steam engine you built? With such a large volume, what are you going to use it for? And how much coal it burns and how much power it can provide. Have you figured all of this out? "It looks like a steam engine as tall as a five-story building. There is also this noise that has been transmitted for several miles, Zhang Yun asked with a dark face.

Wang Xiangdong, who had been carefully observing Zhang Yun's face, couldn't help but chuckle in his heart after seeing that Zhang Yun's face was completely darkened......

"My subordinates also knew that something was wrong, but there was no way, it was the first time. According to the craftsmen, if they want to make what is recorded in the documents, they will have to continue to invest more. And the subordinates think that this thing can already provide power, so they ......"

"So what? Lao Tzu tells you that no matter how much money you spend, you must continue to invest, and it must be made to the size of the drawings to be practical! ”

When Wang Xiangdong was still cautiously arguing, Zhang Yun had already made up his mind impatiently.

Seeing this, Wang Xiangdong only promised to make a promise. There is no other way......

After coming out of Ximaozhou, Zhang Yun's face, which had been tense, finally relaxed. In fact, it is possible to see the real thing now, even if it is as tall as a five-story building. Zhang Yun is also very satisfied.

It's just that Wang Xiangdong's idea of wanting to save money must be beaten. That's why I was furious on the island.

But in fact, the moment he saw the real thing, Zhang Yun's mind was full of rear-loading firearms. and, most importantly, the train, the most important means of transport, and so on.

Therefore, after leaving this secret base, Zhang Yun hurried back to the Shuai tent. It took a long time to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and finally found information about the steam train and the dreadnought-class battleship. He beckoned the king to the east......

"You remember, start building the railway around the island now, if the coolie camp is not manpowered, then you can find other ways, use money to hire it......" Wang Xiangdong grabbed the stack of drawings thrown in his face. Unfolded it in a hurry, and instantly had a bitter face.

"Dashuai, let's not talk about anything else. Just talk about the problem of this iron ore. Our Tiandu iron ore mine can't keep up with the output at all. And there are many things on it, and his subordinates can't understand them......" Speaking of this, Wang Xiangdong's voice slowly lowered.

And when Zhang Yun heard Wang Xiangdong say that he couldn't understand the drawings, he didn't get as angry as Wang Xiangdong expected. Instead, after a deep sigh. stepped forward and patted Wang Xiangdong, who was a little apprehensive, on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you can't read the drawings, Ben Shuai won't go anywhere next, just stay in the secret base and explore these drawings with you, now you should rest assured!"

"After all, with Ben Shuai accompanying you to do these things, you don't have to be afraid, someone will card you with money and materials......"

Next, Zhang Yun really did what he said and did not release Wang Xiangdong's pigeons. On the same day, I immersed myself in boring scientific research. Imitation work to be exact!

Because Zhang Yun understands very well that no matter where he wants to attack Southeast Asia to expand his territory, or send troops to start the Northern Expedition, if he only relies on the current troops, he does not open his own golden finger. I don't know when I'm going to fight, the key is that I lack time.

Whether it is an imitation of an ironclad ship, or a rear-loading rifle, artillery and other weapons.

If you simply rely on Wang Xiangdong and his subordinates, the thinking has been limited to the craftsmen of this era. Then you can have it yourself.

Zhang Yun has never underestimated this kind of imitation work. Even if there is no shortage of drawings and materials and personnel. It's not like a cat or a dog can imitate these things. How can we solve all the problems encountered in this process......

……

After that, almost everyone in Hainan moved. Even the hundreds of thousands of Yue people hiding in the mountains could not escape the fate of being driven out of the mountains to serve Zhang Yun.

This scene reminded Zhang Yun of the great steelmaking of later generations......

On the road from Shilu to Sanya, there are groups of people pushing wheelbarrows back and forth almost all the time, and the inferior steel that has been roughened out is transported.

In the original Sanya Military Port, there is already an ironclad ship under construction at this moment......

Although the current technology is not up to standard, Zhang Yun is convinced that he does not practice the truth of fake tricks. There's a good saying, 'Failure is a success.'" Therefore, no matter how much material and manpower is wasted. Zhang Yun finally made up his mind to build an ironclad ship!

It doesn't matter if you fail many times, one day, the dreadnought-class battleship will be born in this military port.

Think about the time when he drove the Dreadnought-class battleship to Luzon and Sri Buddha died. What is the largest regime in Southeast Asia now?

Even think of the vastness of Australia and North America in the distance. It seems that it can also be completely its own backyard under the deterrence of battleships......

Of course, for Zhang Yun's impatient behavior, Wang Xiangdong has been persuaded many times. But why don't you understand what time means to Zhang Yun? Therefore, Wang Xiangdong is destined to be deflated repeatedly!

Seeing his own persuasion, it had no effect on Zhang Yun himself, and Wang Xiangdong also gave up after repeated persuasion. began to grit his teeth and put himself into the busy research and development.

Time was in Zhang Yun's crazy state, and another half a year slowly passed. During this period, under the guidance of Zhang Yun. The self-designed semi-automatic rifle was finally prototyped......

"Bang ......"

On the shooting range, after Zhang Yunxing emptied the magazine of ten rounds, he handed the first rear-loading semi-automatic rifle to Wang Xiangdong.

And after Wang Xiangdong, who was already itching next to him, took it, he immediately began to waste bullets at the target two hundred meters away!

Until all the 200 rounds of ammunition produced by the trial are completed. Wang Xiangdong finally put down the rifle in his hand. Unfinished to Zhang Yundao.

"Now the subordinates have some belief in the marshal, what you said, that kind of rear-loading artillery, can become a reality!"

"What is it called to believe a little, Ben Shuai said that it will definitely become a reality, then it will definitely make it appear......" Speaking of this, Zhang Yun remembered the troubles of the ironclad ship sinking as soon as it left the port. The tone couldn't help but pause!

But then he said firmly: "Of course, the important task at present is to make the ironclad ship float on the water, so in the final analysis, we also need to increase the power of the steam engine." Therefore, there is no need to install this thing on the ironclad ship for the time being, if we succeed in imitating the naval gun, then we can simply use it as a shore defense gun......"

watched Zhang Yun wave his right arm from time to time, as if he was cheering himself up. Wang Xiangdong shook his head. Although I don't want to hit Zhang Yun. But now......

"Dashuai, we don't have much money anymore!"

"What?"
